My uncle, he has all the power in the world

She had completely forgotten about Du Ziling, which was indeed a bit strange now that she thought about it.

Why did Ning'er show no reaction when something happened to Du Mansion?

Is she not in the capital?

"Young Master Ye," Su Xinyan said, "I'm afraid a reputable man won't marry cousin Ni'er. This Young Master Ye must be from an ordinary family, so I'm afraid it's hard to find him."

Aunt Du knew that what Su Xinsheng said was reasonable, and murmured: "In that case, Ning'er may have really married outside the city."

Seeing Aunt Du looking like this, Su Xinsheng couldn't ask any more questions, so she could only murmur: "Cousin Ning'er will return home sooner or later, and she will always come to find us..."

That is, we can only wait.

Day two.

Early that morning, the Jiang Mansion was actually full of people.

There was a funeral!

Of course, it was done for Jiang Lingyue!

Jiang Lingyue's corpse was different from ordinary people. It looked so bloody and bloody. If it were put down again, it would probably fester and get maggots!

There was no other way. Even if they were unwilling to do so, the Jiang Mansion had no choice but to bury Jiang Lingyue first and then think of anything else.

And the white silk hanging high surprised the people passing by. They secretly said that Jiang Quan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, had passed away!

But who would have expected that not long after, news came out that Jiang Lingyue, the granddaughter of the Jiang family, suddenly fell ill and passed away!

That's fine now, since we can't talk about Su Qingmo...

Everyone started talking about Jiang Lingyue instead!

"How old was Miss Jiang? She was only seventeen or eighteen years old, in her prime. How could she die suddenly?"

"Don't let it be a plague!"

"It's true that this beauty is unlucky. Fortunately, she is not married yet, otherwise it would be very unlucky for her husband's family!"

"I'm still not sure how he died. There aren't many things that have happened to this wealthy family!"

In just half a day, rumors spread throughout the capital, and Su Qingmo changed into Jiang Lingyue, which made Concubine Hui very angry.

The queen didn't allow these untouchables to talk about Su Qingmo, so they talked about Jiang Lingyue. They didn't take her, the imperial concubine, seriously at all!

How could Concubine Hui not be angry when her own niece died so miserably, but Xiao Muyao...

She also believed that after Lan'er was named Queen of Beiqi and Yu'er ascended to the throne, it would not be too late to cut Xiao Muyao into pieces with a thousand swords.

But after all, her anger could not go away. Concubine Hui also sent people to patrol the capital. If anyone talked about Jiang Lingyue, she would be arrested and her mouth would be sewn shut.

It seemed that he was deliberately confronting the queen.

Concubine Hui and Jiang Quan thought well. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years, but they underestimated the anger of a father.

A father's anger towards the enemy who killed his daughter!

Prime Minister's House.

Blue Sky Courtyard.

At this time, Sun Yu was in the Bikong Courtyard.

"Seriously?" Sun Yu smiled and said, "I was afraid you wouldn't like it!"

There was a scroll in front of them. On the scroll was Su Qingmo's portrait, which was painted by Sun Yu himself and given to Su Qingmo.

It's a pity that the woman in the painting is very beautiful, but she can't depict Su Qingmo's coldness and pride. Compared with herself, she is really different.

"It's not that my painting skills are poor, it's just that Sister Su has a quiet and long fragrance. I really can't draw the charm." Sun Yu said aggrieved.

"I'll just assume it's not Yu'er's poor painting skills," Su Qingmo said with a smile, obviously making fun of Sun Yu.

Sun Yu was not annoyed, she said with concern: "There are too many evil people with ulterior motives in the capital. Next time Sister Su leaves the house, she must be fully prepared to avoid being taken advantage of by those people again."

Su Qingmo nodded and said, "I never thought that just staying with the Fourth Princess for a few days would lead to so many troubles."

Obviously he is telling lies.

Then Su Qingmo pushed the tea cup in front of her forward slightly and said with a smile in her eyes: "Yu'er is cautious and wears a veil even when she comes to my place."

Sun Yu was so shy that she almost forgot about the slap mark.

Now that Su Qingmo mentioned it, she smiled helplessly and had no choice but to stop covering it up.

She took off her veil and said a little coyly: "Don't expose the family scandal to make Sister Su laugh.

The palm prints on her face were clearly revealed, and Su Qingmo naturally understood.

She shook her head and said: "How come you are in the Zhao Mansion and can still be bullied like this by people from the Sun Mansion?"

It's really too easy to handle.

Zhao Qing treated Sun Yu very well. No one in the Zhao Mansion would bully her, and she would not run back to the Sun Mansion. So there was only one explanation. People from the Sun Mansion went to the Zhao Mansion and beat her.

It was only because Taifu Sun had protected her so well that she was bullied like this and had no power to fight back.

But Sun Yu was shocked after hearing this.

Su Qingmo could actually guess that it was someone from the Sun Mansion who did it!

"Sister Su, you really know things like a god!" Sun Yu stared at Su Qingmo, as if to see whether Su Qingmo had a mortal body.

Su Qingmo almost laughed angrily: "It doesn't matter if I know things like a god, but I'm afraid that Zhao Youwei, who knows things like a god, doesn't want to go to the Sun Mansion and stir up trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yu blushed instantly and murmured in a low voice: "Miss Su is laughing at me like this, she is even more powerful than the people in Sun Mansion."

Seeing her shy look, Su Qingmo couldn't help but lower her eyes and smile.

Getting married, having children, and living a comfortable life is probably what women in the world want.

into the night.

It was extremely cold and quiet in front of the Xiao Mansion. There was not even a cicada chirping around the huge Xiao Mansion, but not far away, the ten men in black who slowly approached the Xiao Mansion obviously did not notice this, let alone think about it. The reason why Xiao Mansion is so quiet.

The leader, who was in a state of fear, stopped outside the side wall of Xiao Mansion. After looking around for a week, he jumped up first and entered Xiao Mansion.

Seeing that the surroundings were safe, several men in black outside flew in one after another. However, after entering the courtyard of Xiao Mansion, their eyes widened in surprise.

I saw a person standing in the middle of the courtyard. There was no trace of panic on his face at the sight of the assassins breaking in. Instead, his face was full of sarcasm, looking at them as if they were fools.

And the man in black was the first to jump into the wall.

He was lying on the ground silently, and the blood flowing from his neck was particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

How can it be? !

The remaining few people were shocked!

impossible!

Separated only by a wall and not even a sound was heard, their people were killed by Xiao Muyao's secret guards?

No sound, one kill? How can it be!

These ten men in black were sent by Jiang Ji.

Of course they didn't know that even the royal family's secret guards were mediocre in Xiao Muyao's eyes, let alone the secret guards of the Jiang Mansion.

But at the moment, they still didn't understand what was so 'special' about the person in front of them, so they actually said sharply: "Where is Xiao Muyao? Let him come out and die!"

The man seemed to have heard some big joke, and he sneered when facing the nine assassins, his eyes full of sarcasm.

Seeing this, the nine people were completely enraged. They looked at each other, raised their swords and rushed over without saying a word. Suddenly, the sound of weapons clashing sounded, which was particularly abrupt in this night.

But it didn't take long for the entire Xiao Mansion to become peaceful again.

Day two.

early morning.

Jiang Ji stood among the officials. In just one day, he seemed to have aged ten years. Even though he lowered his head, he could not hide the dark spots under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept all night.

There was a mixture of sadness and anger in those eyes, but more importantly, there was fear and unwillingness.

Last night, he sent someone to assassinate Xiao Muyao without telling Jiang Quan. When Chou Shi didn't see the secret guard coming back, Jiang Ji felt a little uneasy. He still had a glimmer of hope. Even if he died, maybe...

Xiao Muyao is also dead!

Even if they didn't die together, Xiao Muyao should have been seriously injured.

But early this morning, when he saw the energetic Xiao Muyao, Jiang Ji swayed and almost fell down.

None of his secret guards came back, so...

If Xiao Muyao catches him alive...

Jiang Ji's face suddenly turned pale and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.

At this time, except Jiang Ji, everyone else was frightened and speculated after seeing Xiao Muyao.

This god of plague rarely goes to court, and every time he 'appears', there will be a 'bloody murder'!

His sudden appearance today is really scary!

At this time, Emperor Yan Ning also asked: "Xiao Aiqing is going to court today, but has something to report?"

With his unruly temperament, if he was not summoned to the palace, something would naturally happen.

Xiao Muyao smiled evilly and said, "It's not a big deal, I just want to give something to His Majesty!"

Emperor Yanning asked in confusion: "Oh? What does Xiao Aiqing want to offer to me?"

Xiao Muyao took it out of his sleeve unhurriedly.

a book!

Eunuch Xu hurriedly took it and handed it to Emperor Yanning, but he didn't expect that Emperor Yanning's expression changed drastically before he could read it.

"Your Majesty, I still have more!" As he said this, Xiao Muyao took out the second, third, fourth, and fifth books.

Eunuch Xu was already confused. Although he was a eunuch, he was also literate, but he did not understand the meaning of these books, so he had to give them all to Emperor Yanning with doubts.

Everyone was also very puzzled, secretly wondering if the god of plague was looking for some kind of immortality? Otherwise, why would I dare to dedicate a few broken books to His Majesty?

Only Emperor Yanning, after reading these books, his face became more and more gloomy, and a storm was coming.

It fell on the dragon table with a 'snap' sound, and Emperor Yan Ning said angrily: "Where did you get these books?"

Everyone shrank when they saw this, but Xiao Muyao looked as if nothing had happened and shrugged, "Everywhere!"

Then he said with a smile: "These books were bought from all over Yanning. Although they are not in the capital, they cost me a lot of gold and silver, a total of 3,800 taels of gold. I hope your majesty will spend this money for a while." Give it back to me!"

After hearing this, everyone widened their eyes and looked at Xiao Muyao in disbelief, secretly wondering if he was crazy? !

Not to mention how dare he ask His Majesty for money, just for these shabby books, how dare he ask for 3,800 taels of gold? Could this be a money grab?

"Master Xiao," Ning Zhan said doubtfully, "These books actually cost 3,800 taels of gold. Could it be that Master Xiao was deceived?"

He frowned and said, "The person who is asking for such a high price must be caught!"

Xiao Muyao said with a smile: "No, His Highness the Sixth Prince doesn't know something. These books are worth three thousand eight hundred taels of gold!"

Ning Zhan sneered and said, "Even a book engraved with gold cannot be worth three thousand taels of gold! Sir Xiao, tell me, what kind of books are these?"

Who knows, Xiao Muyao said in a leisurely manner: "The Jade Pian", "The Great Edict", "The Poems of a Thousand Masters", "Chu Si Zhi Zhang", "Zheng Lei Materia Medica" and "High Mountains and Flowing Waters".

With every word he said, everyone's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe what they heard.

These books Xiao Muyao mentioned are only worth 3,800 taels.

This is obviously...

What a priceless book!

Each of these are the masterpieces of talented people thousands of years ago!

But the mistake is that these books have been hidden in the Jixian Courtyard in the palace, and there is no way they can flow into the public!

not to mention.

What's more, you can buy it with just a thousand taels of gold! ?

how can that be!

If treasured classics are bought and sold like this, what else will Jixianyuan do? Shouldn't all the orthodox classics and palace secrets be in the hands of lowly merchants for everyone to read?

Everyone unanimously looked at the head of Jixian Academy.

Jiang Ji!

At this time, Jiang Ji, who had not slept all night, turned horribly pale after hearing the title of the book mentioned by Xiao Muyao.

He originally thought that Xiao Muyao would make a big fuss about his assassination, but he never expected that Jiang Muyao would know about it.

Know such things!

At this time, Emperor Yan Ning's cold voice came, which made people's hair stand on end.

"Come here, go to Jixianyuan immediately and find these books!"

Jiang Ji was startled and suddenly raised his eyes, only to see Emperor Yan Ning's eyes looking directly at him, full of majesty and coldness. He was so frightened that his body softened and he fell down.

Emperor Ning's meaning was very obvious. He would definitely not wrong him. If these books were properly collected in Jixian Academy, then these books by Xiao Muyao would naturally be fake. This matter would be revealed right away!

But if Jixianyuan doesn't have it.

Then he, the leader of Jixian Academy, might be killed!

Jiang Ji knew very well whether Jixianyuan existed or not!

Jiang Quan also knows it very well!

Jiang Quan was shocked, and he quickly stepped forward and said nervously: "Your Majesty, calm down! There are many official positions in Jixian Academy, and there are many people with quick thoughts. It is not impossible for someone to take advantage of their authority to resell classics!"

The meaning is obvious. There are so many people in Jixian Yuan, so this matter was not done by Jiang Ji.

"Hahaha".

Xiao Muyao laughed out loud as if no one else was there.

"What Jiang Shangshu said is really funny. These books are so precious that it is difficult to even read them without the permission of the head of the hospital. And Master Jiang said it so easily, as if anyone can take it away!"

Everyone nodded. What Xiao Muyao said was true. These books were all treasured books of Jixian Academy. They were strictly guarded. Even the gate of the academy had to be stamped by the head of the academy and accompanied by a bachelor before they could enter.

And now it seems that this Jixianyuan, headed by Jiang Ji, is probably dirty from top to bottom and hollowed out inside and outside!

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Quan choked and his face turned red, but he couldn't refute a word.

"His Majesty!"

He could only continue: "There are thousands of books in Jixian Yuan, so naturally it is impossible to cover everything. There must be something fishy about this matter. Your Majesty, please don't jump to conclusions!"

The person who feels most comfortable right now is Ning Lichen.

The Jiang Mansion is from Ning Yu's mother clan, so if something happens to the Jiang Mansion, he would naturally like to hear about it.

At this time, he sneered and said: "Does Master Jiang also know that there are thousands of books in Jixian Academy? Those who don't know think that Jiang Ji is in charge of thousands of birds, which can fly at will and disappear at any time! "

He can even manage the books locked in the box. For those who don't know, they would think that Jiang Ji is dealing with some kind of living creature or some martial arts master.

Ning Yu's eyes became even colder after hearing this.

He never expected that Xiao Muyao would suddenly attack Jiang Mansion.

It's not like he didn't know what Jiang Ji had done. The books in Jixian Academy had been ignored for decades and nothing could cause any trouble.

But who would have thought that Xiao Muyao would know!

He raised his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Thousands of books are complicated, and some mistakes are inevitable. I'm afraid your brother may have exaggerated!"

Ning Lichen sneered and said: "The second emperor brother means that this is just a mistake?"

Isn't it a big joke that the palace classics have flowed into the public, and were purchased by the Hanlin Academy to be presented to His Majesty?

At this time, Jiang Ji suddenly knelt on the ground, choked and shouted: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is guilty! My daughter Jiang Lingyue was seriously ill a few days ago and has not been cured for a long time. Wei Chen really has no intention of attending court and has not been there for a long time. It’s Jixianyuan! Leaving all matters big and small to others is a minor dereliction of duty, a minor minister.”

Jiang Ji blamed himself: "I am willing to be punished!"

After everyone heard this, they remembered that Jiang Mansion had not held a funeral yesterday!

Everyone was still puzzled by Jiang Lingyue's sudden loss of beauty, but now after listening to Jiang Ji's words, they realized that he was seriously ill and could not be cured for a long time!

His biological daughter was dying, and no one could care about the court affairs. But what kind of disease did Jiang Lingyue contract, so that she could die at such a young age?
