At this time, Xiaodie arrived carrying hot tea and snacks.

It wasn't that she was slow in doing things, but that she knew that Ming Mu Qingyu wanted to see Ming Qinxue's injuries, or had other things to talk about, and it was not appropriate for her to be there, so she waited aside even though she had already arrived.

In terms of sense of proportion, she is much better than Xiaocha.

Seeing that the person had left, Xiaodie called out softly: "Girl?"

Ming Qinxue said calmly: "Put it there!"

Putting the tray on the table, Xiaodie let out a light sigh.

Ming Qinxue turned her head and followed Xiaodie's gaze, landing on the chessboard on the table.

On the chessboard, the white and black stones are arranged like a rabbit.

Xiaodie smiled and said: "This rabbit is so cute!"

Ming Qinxue: "..."

Is this a rabbit?

Yes, this is a rabbit, a naive rabbit with long ears and a fat body.

But it’s not just a rabbit. It’s made up of white and sunspots, but also a cicada, a praying mantis, and an oriole!

Is she telling herself that the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind?

But I am an oriole!

But Mu Qingyu would not pose such a picture for no reason.

Ming Qinxue considered it carefully.

Mu Qingyu guessed correctly, Ruan Xinlian came to the capital because of her arrangement.

And when she discovered Ruan Xinlian as a person, she did so unintentionally.

Feng Yulou's brothers from Puyang Prefecture, Ganyi County, Jizhou discovered that Master Futai often sent his cronies to Jiantian County under the jurisdiction of Puyang Prefecture for overt and covert inspections.

Those people go out once or twice almost every year, and one trip takes three to five months.

What Feng Yu Lou sells is news, so where does that news come from? Of course, the brothers in the building collect it from everywhere. They must know the important news, and they will also pay attention to the general news!

After all, no one knows what information the buyer wants. Maybe the information obtained accidentally can be sold for a big price?

This investigation is remarkable. The reason why Mr. Futai sent his cronies to investigate was that a maid escaped from the mansion before.

But this is not the case at all. This can be traced back to nine years ago, when there was a severe drought in Ganyi County, Jizhou, and the capital sent an imperial envoy. However, the imperial envoy loved to enjoy himself. In addition to good food and drink, he also loved beautiful women.

As for those local officials from top to bottom, firstly, they were afraid that the local disaster situation would be reported to the imperial envoy late, secondly, they were afraid that the disaster relief funds would not reach their own pockets, and thirdly, they were afraid that they would not be able to please the senior officials in the capital and would lose hope of promotion.

"Choose a concubine"!

It is said that the whole county selects concubines, and the selected "concubines" are sent to whichever palace the imperial envoy goes to. Everything is like a harem. Not only does it have a magnificent palace for the imperial envoy, but also the women are trained and educated.

, and then he was waited on to bathe in the fragrant soup, and then he was wrapped in a thin quilt and sent to the imperial envoy's room.

Although it is not a wine pool and a meat forest, it is not far off.

Those women who are in love will be given the soup the next day.

The imperial envoy has been in Ganyi County for more than three months, and it is said that there are more than a hundred beautiful women selected from various places.

The women whom the imperial envoy disliked all disappeared without a trace.

However, it was said that a woman whom the imperial envoy liked the most had escaped. It was this woman who had escaped that they were looking for.

Although a country woman who ran away may not be able to bring about a reversal.

But when the county guard reported the matter to the government office, he became furious, and the government office was frightened, so he quickly sent people to look for him. He couldn't find him, so he kept looking.

Although they also felt that the woman was penniless and far away from her hometown at that time, just when everything was waiting for help after the great disaster. She might have died on the road and become the fat of some grass, but her body was not found, and

I was afraid of being held accountable by my superiors, so I kept looking for him.

This search really turned up some clues.

It turned out that the woman not only survived, but also gave birth to a child.

The news reached Ganyi County Sheriff, who felt that half of the sky had collapsed. He sent more than 20 people there with only one purpose: to get rid of both mother and child.

As soon as Ming Qinxue integrated all the information, her eyes suddenly lit up.

What she wanted to plan was inherently difficult. Even if those old foxes did bad things, they would handle it very cleanly from beginning to end, leaving almost no clues. It was rare that there was one now, and of course she couldn't let that woman die.

The people sent by the county guard didn't know where the woman was hiding, so they arrested her parents and relatives and interrogated them one by one, and then interrogated the surrounding villagers.

When they learned that the woman had been living in the mountains, isolated from other people, they immediately chased her. They had already caught up with the mother and son, but unexpectedly someone rescued her.

It was a tough battle and many of their men were killed and wounded. Two people on the opposite side were extremely skilled, but they failed to succeed.

The news was passed back to the county guard, who immediately sent several groups of experts to go there. At that time, the mother and son actually found an escort agency to protect them.

They fought countless times along the way, and finally, they asked the mother and son to come to Beijing.

When they arrived in the capital, they did not dare to take action again. The governor of Ganyi County was beating his chest, but he did not dare to pass on the news to the original imperial envoy.

After they arrived in the capital, although Ming Qinxue placed them in an inn, their appearance changed, and her people were surrounding them to protect their safety.

Ruan Xinlian was chosen to come to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion today to tell the truth in public. Several princes will be here today, and the fourth prince, who has never dealt with the eldest prince, will definitely seize this opportunity as long as he is not stupid.

She was indeed watching from the attic in the distance at that time. Although she couldn't hear clearly what these people were saying, she could make a guess about the situation.

Now, Ruan Xinlian and her son have arrived at Jingzhao Yin Yamen. Presumably, the matter they have complained about has been filed. Because she is the first accuser, she will not be imprisoned. The fourth prince will also know the importance of these two people. The safety of the mother and son in the future

, which is equivalent to being handed over to the fourth prince.

However, her people have not yet come to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen to ask Dingyuan Hou for questioning. It seems that Chu Yuncheng still lacks some courage in doing things!

Mu Qingyu said she was ready to withstand the backlash?

She had already arranged everything, so where was the backlash? However, she was so keen that she could guess that she was nearby at the time!

She can't admit it!

It’s not that she doesn’t believe in Mu Qingyu, after all, she has taken two paths, so there is no need for support or mutual help. Even if there is a backlash, she will bear it. Since Mu Qingyu is on the outside, she should not participate!

Perhaps, this is a trivial thing she can do for the master she considers to be her master!

He definitely doesn't want Mu Qingyu to be involved in such a mess!

Ming Qinxue saw clearly that Chu Jingxian agreed to the cooperation she proposed, and she still remembered the last time he met before leaving the capital. She said, "Leave the affairs of the capital to me, are you relieved? Do you have an explanation?"

He said: "No, even if you get nothing, it doesn't matter. It won't be too late when I come back!"

She said: "Doesn't this make it appear that I am not sincere? Or that I am incompetent?"

He said: "Well, please take care of yourself!"

A cup of tea and a word of advice.

She was friends with him before!

But he was just a friend, so even though he knew that the capital city was turbulent and dark, he only said: Take care! But he didn't say: It's dangerous, don't try it!

For one thing, he understood the hatred in her heart! He knew that she did not want any of the eldest prince or the fourth prince to ascend to that position. Even if it was not him who ascended that position, as long as it was not Chu Chengye and Chu Yuncheng, she would work hard to do it.

Do.

Secondly, she is not that important in his heart! Therefore, he is concerned about being a friend, but nothing more!

From now on, he and she will be masters and counselors, and he will not look down upon her because she is a woman; nor will she find it difficult because he started with no background!

The days go by so fast!

Before the master comes back, if she has already pried the tiger of Dingyuan Marquis away, she will be lucky enough to live up to her fate!

After going through the details again, as long as Jing Zhaoyin opens an office to inquire about the case, Dingyuan Hou will definitely go to answer the inquiry and hear the case. It will soon be clear whether the first chief, three deputy and four imperial envoys of the year are all involved!

With the fourth prince watching, there is no need to worry about Jing Zhaoyin not doing his best.

She played with the black and white pieces on the chessboard again. She was just a chess player. Now the eldest prince and the four princes have entered the game. When the chess continues, the other princes may be involved, maybe not. But it doesn't matter.

, after all, she is already pushing away the biggest obstacle!

So, what else is wrong?

Ming Qinxue's eyes were fixed on one of the sunspots, and her eyes changed slightly.

Ruan Xinlian felt very uneasy. She held Bao'er's hand and followed the fourth prince, feeling like she was in a dream.

Just now, the fourth prince took her to Jing Zhaoyin, taught her how to file a lawsuit and make presentations, and also gave her reassurance that her son would have a father to rely on!

Ruan Xinlian was very grateful to the fourth prince.

She never dreamed that she would meet so many kind-hearted people!

First, the two eldest brothers who kindly rescued her, and then all the escorts in the escort agency took great care of their mother and son. When they arrived in the capital, they were able to see the prince.

That is the emperor's son, the dragon son.

She had heard it before, and it was like listening to the immortals in the sky. She never thought that one day, she would be able to see the prince's face, and she would need his help!

At this time, Ruan Xinlian regarded the fourth prince as a Bodhisattva, and her heart was filled with respect and trust!
