Qi Haoning was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shu Yao with a smile. Did his Yao'er have something "quiet" to say to him? He was looking forward to it.

Shuyao lowered her voice: "Brother Ning, those men in black are chasing you, whether they are from the Northeast, Japan, or Myanmar. Is Prince Yong safe?"

Qi Haoning was stunned. He didn't expect Shuyao to suddenly ask such a question. He had experienced so many bloody storms in the past few years. Although he had a narrow escape from being hunted down this time, it was not too "unexpected". To be honest, those

The man in black who appeared to help him made him think more deeply.

But now Shuyao reminded him, and his heart ached. This time the killer in black was obviously large-scale and well-organized, and it was impossible for concubine Zhao and his ilk to pay for it.

The motivation for going to such great lengths and effort to kill him was firstly to take revenge on him, secondly to take revenge on his father, and thirdly to come to Prince Yong's palace, that is, to attack the emperor.

Regardless of the above possibilities, you can attack him, and you can certainly attack his father.

However, they are already investigating and there are no clues at all. What else can they do besides tightening security?

Let the father return to Beijing? Impossible. The southwest border is of vital importance, and the country of Myanmar is eyeing him with evil intentions. Before a suitable successor is cultivated, it is impossible for the father to return to Beijing with peace of mind.

Frowning, Qi Haoning reluctantly said: "Yao'er, don't worry, there are many people around my father who are loyal, skilled in martial arts, and have followed my father for many years."

Shuyao shook her head: "I believe most of the subordinates around the prince are as you said, but Brother Ning. That year, my adoptive father and my father were attacked one after another, and later it was found out that they were betrayed by spies lurking in the prince's house. This shows that Southwest University

The General's Mansion is not without loopholes, and not everything around the prince is clean. Brother Ning, the more old followers around you, sometimes it is not safer. If one of them rebels and betrays the master, then..."

"..." Qi Haoning narrowed his eyes and fell silent.

Shuyao clenched her fists, was she a little impatient? It seemed easy to make people suspicious. She, a prospective daughter-in-law who had not yet passed the family, had serious suspicions about the presence of the generals and generals around Prince Yong, and she had no clue at all.

Unfounded suspicion.

However, great changes have taken place in this world. Prince Ning was not killed by Black Eagle, the emperor obtained the formula for making muskets, the second prince and the Ma family were destroyed in advance... Who knows whether the deliberate spy next to Prince Yong will also be ordered to advance in advance...

Dealing with the prince? If Sima Yun'ao hadn't gone to the Southwest Army, that would have happened. Would Prince Yong have died in the southwest?

Although she has never met Prince Yong in her past life, Shuyao still has a good impression and respect for this prince's father-in-law-to-be. Judging from the gifts she received each time and the letters written by Prince Yong to Yue'er, it can be seen that

A father who is cold-hearted and very protective of his children.

What's annoying is that although she did hear the name and identity of the person who betrayed Prince Yong was mentioned in her previous life, she didn't pay attention to it, let alone remember it, because it had nothing to do with it.

Uh, no. Shuyao frowned. Although she didn’t know the person’s name or identity, she knew one thing, that is, the wife of that person was a tigress. When those ladies talked about the death of Prince Yong, they said vividly

, Prince Yong died at the hands of a woman, because the woman’s mother-in-law had two gambling and lustful trash brothers who needed a large sum of money to pay off their debts. The spy was bribed, and it was in vain that Prince Yong had always trusted him.

By the way. It is said that after the incident, people suddenly realized how the man's in-law's family suddenly became rich. Not only did they pay off their gambling debts, but they also purchased land and property. The man's daughter-in-law also had new clothes and jewelry, and she kept claiming that he was his natal brother.

Subsidized...

No matter what, just doubt if you doubt it, it is better than Prince Yong dying in vain. Shuyao met Qi Haoning's bright black eyes and continued: "Especially those who are well known to have the prince's trust, they must be careful.

To bribe someone, you naturally like people like that."

Qi Haoning asked in a deep voice: "Yao'er means that everyone around the father, especially those whom he trusts and values, must be filtered and checked." That would do more harm than good. How many people would be chilled? Father.

Many people around him have followed him for more than ten years or even decades.

Qi Haoning didn't doubt Shuyao. On the contrary, he believed that Shuyao must have thought about it for a long time before asking this question. He regarded them as his relatives and family members.

The "Silly Crying" thing, and the fact that Shuyao was very uneasy in the capital when Shujie told him today that he almost sank into the sea with the Water Dragon King's bandits, made him see Shuyao's keen intuition. Qi Haoning couldn't bear it

He reached out and stroked Shuyao's bun. When Shuyao saved him for the first time they met, he knew that she was extraordinary and different.

Therefore, he was not surprised at all that she would ask such a question that other women in the boudoir could not ask, and say such words, so how could he doubt her?

More importantly, Qi Haoning felt that what Shuyao said was very reasonable.

Shuyao nodded: "In fact, it's not difficult. You don't need to go to war as you think. You just need to ask the secret guards to secretly check whether there are any big changes in these people's families, such as sudden wealth, or someone in the family suddenly missing, or there are suddenly many people.

Who else is out there? Well, we should pay more attention to those mothers or wives who are particularly greedy. If there are any, just focus on these people and carefully investigate their whereabouts and suspicious things."

Qi Haoning's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. It could be "hidden" and I believe his father would accept it.

However, he asked with great interest: "The women in the backyard don't understand political affairs, so people who want to bribe people won't deal with them, right? Why do you think those mothers or wives and concubines who are particularly greedy should pay more attention to it?"

Shuyao smiled and said: "I don't know that. I only know that the second uncle's Aunt Cheng in Yulin Town is that kind of woman, and there is also Sister Nian'er's second aunt."

Qi Haoning was startled, and then he burst into laughter. He had heard about these two people because they were all related to the three Shuyao brothers and sisters. Not to mention, with such a wife or mother, well, everything was possible.

Why is his little Yao'er so smart? He can draw inferences from one example and know something from the smallest detail. Qi Haoning happily stretched out his right hand and wanted to touch Shu Yao's head.

Shuyao pretended to glare at him and tilted her head. In two lifetimes, she would be old enough to be his mother, right? She always likes to touch her head, and she is not Xiao Qianqian.

Uh, but the thought of a son as old as Prince Ning calling her mother made her feel chills.

Qi Haoning was amused by Shuyao's movements and facial expressions. His little lady was so cute. Her pouty and rosy mouth was like a delicious and attractive red cherry, which made people want to taste it.

Ichiban.

As he thought, his body froze, his eyes became a little darker, and he stared at the beautiful girl in front of him. His mouth felt dry, and his throat couldn't help but roll.

Shuyao noticed his changes sensitively. Although she didn't know what he was thinking, she still had an intuition that the current atmosphere was not good.

"Brother Ning, is your friend Jia Yungao the nephew of An Guogong?" Shuyao quickly found a topic and subconsciously took a step back to distance herself from Qi Haoning.

"Ah?... Well, yes, he thought he was going to die, so he revealed his true identity, hoping to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan before he died." Qi Haoning Jun's face turned red, his eyes evaded, and he did not dare to look at Shu Yao.

At this moment, he wanted to give himself a slap. Why did he have such thoughts? It was so blasphemous to Yao'er!

But...but...he must get his father-in-law and uncle drunk tonight, so that they will let him loose and allow him to marry Yao'er as soon as possible. Qi Haoning relied on the ability to drink that he had developed in the military camp, and secretly made up his mind. However,

Unexpectedly, his uncle inherited his father's inheritance and was born with a good drinker. He hugged the corner of the table and fell asleep, while Ren Shujie seemed to be fine. Of course, this is a story for later, so I won't go into details here.

Shu Yao sighed: "It is also a happy event. The Queen Mother has always lamented that Mr. Sima and his son died in order to save Prince Qi, so that the second wife of the Sima family was cut off." Because of this, the Queen Mother and the Emperor gave Sima Yan extra love.

Share grace.

Qi Haoning also smiled: "Yes, the emperor's grandmother and the emperor's uncle were very happy when they found out, and praised Yun Wao as a tiger father without a dog son. He ordered Anguo Duke's Mansion to take good care of him and recuperate, and arrange for the opening of a temple to worship his ancestors as soon as possible, and to recognize his ancestors and return them to the clan.

.When I left the palace, the imperial grandmother also arranged a lot of rewards to go to Anguo Gong's Mansion, and the emperor's uncle also ordered Dr. Gu to go to Anguo Gong's Mansion every other day for follow-up diagnosis of Yun Wao."

He was really happy for Sima Yun'ao. Sima Yun'ao was going to the Southwest Army. He happened to know that his way back to Beijing might be dangerous. General Hai Yong was escorting him with selected people, so he went to request that he be escorted back to Beijing first, and then

If he had gone to the southwest from the capital, he wouldn't have suffered such a serious injury. If it hadn't been for the good medicine left by the miraculous doctor Gao, the imperial doctor said it was very dangerous. How could he not keep such a heavy feeling in his heart?

Shu Yao was not surprised. The second wife of the Sima family had a child, and they felt less regret in their hearts. Now that Sima Yun'ao had made great contributions to saving Qi Haoning, it was strange that they did not reward him heavily.

What's more, what the emperor desires most now is a young and promising general. After a loyal minister like Sima Yun'ao, General Haiyong recognized and recommended him to the Southwest Army. This really suits the emperor's wishes. Naturally, he hopes to focus on it.

Cultivation with a view to reuse.

Shuyao suddenly thought of something and smiled softly: "It's a pity. If Mr. Sima had appeared two years earlier and saved you from injury two years earlier, wouldn't you and Princess Yan have had a good relationship long ago? This would have saved Princess Yan from being in danger.

Being dragged down by the second prince."

As soon as the words came out, Shuyao immediately came back to her senses, almost embarrassed by her own words. How could she unknowingly say what she was slandering in her mind? Well, she could feel the sourness in her words.

Qi Haoning was so happy that he couldn't help but hold Shuyao's little hand again, this time with both hands. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
