Ji Lan returned to Qingsi Hall to resume his life, and looked at Yiman who was still standing in front of the window looking at the light, "Princess, I have caught it. It's just——"

"what happened?"

"I'm just catching a little Ruizi. With such a big fanfare, will it alert the enemy?"

Yiman smiled slightly and turned around, "If I didn't move at all, the Emperor and Empress De Fei would have been on guard, because not retaliating is abnormal. Instead of letting them worry all the time, it's better to give them reassurance now."

Ji Lan's eyes lit up, "Oh, the princess wants to paralyze them?"

"The Seventh Prince may still be on guard, but it doesn't matter. It's just the beginning to alert the enemy."

"But this little Ruizi is just a little eunuch, even if he knows something. If he is the Seventh Prince's confidant, he probably won't reveal anything."

Yiman pursed his lips and smiled, his already blue face looked scary with the smile, "It doesn't matter whether he vomits or not, the important thing is that he is in my hands."

As long as he casually arranges a heinous crime, I don't believe that the Duan family will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai without the seventh prince and Concubine De taking action.

As long as they can't help but move, it's a good opportunity to step on their tail.

"By the way, have you made arrangements for the concubine in Taiyun Hou Mansion?"

Ji Lan nodded, "I gave her a sum of money, which is enough for her to escape far away and be rich throughout her life."

Finding out that Marquis Taiyun had faked his death was not just because of Mrs. Fang's reaction, it was just a clue in his mind.

She saw that Taiyun Hou's concubine was being taught by the Fang family and took the initiative to contact her.

I thought I could just find out some unimportant things, but I didn't expect to find out some abnormalities about Mrs. Fang. After a little more speculation, I came to the news that Marquis Taiyun had faked his death.

Dali Temple Prison

Marquis Taiyun was wearing a brocade cloak and sitting on a wooden bench with an upright posture.It's not like he's in jail, it's like a noble person coming to visit him in prison.

Zhou Yu stood outside the iron railing and looked at Fang Lingchu with a deep look.

Taiyun Hou held a tea cup with his fingers, and his every move was elegant.

"Master Zhou came to see me. I wonder if there is anything else that Master Zhou needs?"

Zhou Yu lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Are you really treasonous?"

Marquis Taiyun looked kind-hearted, and suddenly he was surprised, "How did you find out?"

"You invite me to the weapons supervisor Yang's house."

Marquis Taiyun turned his head and looked at the cup with his head slightly lowered, "Is it because of this?"

"Yes."

Marquis Taiyun smiled knowingly, "Young Master Zhou is worthy of being Young Master Zhou. He has a mind as sharp as hair and is extremely sharp."

Unexpectedly, just because he went to ask Master Yang, the weapons supervisor, for advice, he would find out.

"You are not usually interested in ordnance. Although your excuse was to go see the eldest princess to explain the misunderstanding, the eldest princess is not such a person."

Marquis Taiyun seemed to have discovered something interesting, "How do you know what kind of person the eldest princess is?"

Zhou Yu's eyelashes trembled and she raised her eyes to look at Marquis Taiyun, "Why are you treason?"

Marquis Taiyun looked away and then looked at the cup, as if he was laughing at the cup between his palms.

"You are also from a noble family, why do you ask questions when you already know?"

The emperor now regards the aristocratic family as a mortal enemy and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible.

The big aristocratic families are still able to fight, while the second-rate aristocratic families are either dependent on the leading aristocratic families, or like the Xie family, they are controlled by the royal family.

The worst result is to be completely annihilated in the cracks.

The old patriarch of the Fang family will not live for a few more days. He will be the future patriarch of the Fang family.Now that Marquis Taiyun is just a false name, is he going to stand in front of the Fang family and wait to die?
Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't speak, Fang Lingchu felt a little guilty and wanted to say something unconsciously.

"You were deceived out of the capital and have been living in the world for several years. Do you still want to protect the Zhou family?"

"Since you faked your death and escaped, why are you still in the capital?"

Hearing Zhou Yu speak, Fang Lingchu felt relieved for some reason.

"My mother is worried that she is old and cannot go north to leave the quarantine, and she is afraid that it will harm me." Zhou Yu closed his eyes, opened them again, and returned to Gujing Wubo.

Seeing Zhou Yu turning around to leave, with his back turned to him, Fang Lingchu felt a little panicked, and a feeling of death lingered in his heart.

She lost her composure and spoke subconsciously, "The eldest princess is indeed good. If my stupid sister didn't count her out at that time, and if I could really treat her like a princess, your majesty might have opened up to the other party's family. With her little tricks, she said Maybe it can really help the Fang family turn the corner."

Zhou Yu's body suddenly stopped, and Fang Lingchu felt some secret and indescribable relief when he saw the joints of Zhou Yu's hands behind his back were stiff.

"When did you and the eldest princess meet? How could your stone-like heart be moved? Does she know? Why don't I, your childhood playmate, know?"

Zhou Yu did not turn around, "Fang Lingchu, the Secret Service of Dali Temple and Honglu Temple will interrogate you later. After Mrs. Fang found out that you were caught, she vomited blood and died."

Fang Lingchu paused, and the cup in his hand suddenly fell on the rough wooden table, making a crashing sound, which was particularly obvious in the silent environment.

"Zhou Yu, you are the young patriarch of the Zhou family, you..."

Zhou Yu had already walked out of the deepest part of the prison and did not hear what was said next.

The first edition of the "Record of Surnames" came out, and the people inside and outside the court were shocked.

The Zhou family's top family, with hundreds of years of heritage, actually fell to the last column on the first page.

There are even rumors that this matter is because one branch of the Zhou family has split away, and the Zhou family is now experiencing constant internal troubles.

Some even exaggerate, saying that the Zhou family will soon fall to pieces and scatter the hozens.
Yiman looked at the message written by Xiaowu outside the palace, pursed his lips and couldn't help but smile.

I don’t know what Zhou Yu’s reaction was at this time, but it must be Zhou Yu’s hand to make it so exaggerated.

It seems that Zhou Yu really wants the Zhou family to retreat bravely and preserve their hope. He doesn't care about such slander.

"Is there anything new outside the palace?"

Ji Lan pursed her lips and smiled, "Nowadays, the scholars in Shilin praise the eldest princess as the reincarnation of Wenquxing. She took the exam casually and became the top prize."

"I'm not the number one scholar, so I'm not a literary star."

Yiman smiled lightly and shook his head. Someone must be adding fuel to the fire.Now that Lu Bo is still outside the palace, I wonder if it was Lu Bo's action?

"I've never cared about who is the number one and number two pick. Have the three Xie brothers made it to the top two?"

"The top pick is Duan Ruhai, the second pick is Chu Shuang, and the eldest princess Tanhuayin has added one more, Mr. Fu Wenzheng. Two people from the Xie family are on the list, and they are in the upper reaches of the second class."

With a subtle smile, the son of a wealthy family was raised from a young age, surrounded by dozens or even hundreds of people, and he was able to pass the exam with ease.

The key is to have a sense of proportion. After all, if a family member wants to be an official, there are many ways.

Now that everyone knew that the emperor was going to implement the New Deal, the aristocratic families restrained their efforts.

The Duan family is becoming more and more fierce, with flowers blooming, and they are preparing to take on the royal family.

As for a smart person, it would have to be Fu Wenzheng. With his writing skills and profound prediction ability, I am afraid he should be given the title of number one scholar.

Although he prepared a scientific examination certificate for her, he did not expect that she would aim for the head armor position and actually pass the examination.

So his plan to be No. 1 in the top two came to nothing, and he went to the first one.

Now among the three people in Toujia, two are from aristocratic families, the other is from a scholarly family, but there is no one from a poor family. The emperor is afraid that he will go crazy.

However, the current situation should indeed be changed.The aristocratic family controls nine out of ten resources, so it will show such a situation in the spring.

The emperor's New Deal reforms must be implemented.

Among the four brothers of the Xie family, three are in the Wen Dao and one is in the Martial Arts.

Yiman smiled, "The one who failed in the Xie family is Xie Sheng, the one who can't even mention filial piety and integrity?"

Ji Lan nodded, "Exactly."

Yiman was suddenly startled and slapped his forehead, "Speaking of which, Lu Bo is still waiting for me outside the palace. I forgot about him."

"What outside the palace?"

"Who--"
