Chapter 138 The younger one kneels down, and here comes the older one
Su Mo offered his loyalty and oath to the War King.
"Master, the second young lady of the Su family is now kneeling at the gate of Prince Zhan's mansion, asking to see the eldest young lady." Outside the study, a guard reported at the door.
The War King raised his eyes from the palace gate entry and exit manual recorded by Su Mo, and said lightly to the air: "Bing Qi."
Someone immediately descended from a beam or some other high place and reported to the War King with an expressionless face, "The poison has spread to the young master of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, and Su Mingyue has failed to cure him. The eldest princess is furious and has ordered the nanny to bring her here to apologize to the eldest lady."
Su Mo was shocked. He had always heard that the War King's guards were well-informed, but he hadn't expected them to even get the news from the Princess's residence. But he felt relieved. The fact that the War King listened in front of him meant he didn't treat him as an outsider. He didn't say much, just listened quietly.
This news was also related to the Su family, and was very valuable to Su Mo. After all, the eldest princess's attitude towards the Su family, the War King, and the thoughts of the eldest daughter of the Su family, who he still couldn't understand, would all affect his judgment of the Su family.
"They haven't been avoiding people along the way, and they've already attracted a crowd of onlookers." Bing Qi said this with a blank expression, like an emotionless messenger. "There should be quite a few people gathered outside the mansion right now."
"Yes, there are many people outside our house watching the excitement, so we ask for your instructions, sir." said the guard.
"Let her continue kneeling, don't worry about it." King Zhan had an indifferent look on his face. No matter whether Su Mingyue knelt at the door of King Zhan's mansion on purpose or many people watched the fun, he seemed to ignore them.
The guards were ordered to retreat.
"Bingqi, tell the eldest lady everything about this matter and the affairs in the capital, and let her make arrangements for Su Mingyue's affairs." King Zhan ordered Bingqi.
"Yes." Bing Qi accepted the order expressionlessly, then flew away and disappeared in front of the two men.
But after a while, Bing Qi's voice came from above: "What if Miss Su fell asleep again?"
"Then let's wait until she wakes up." The War King said lightly.
Only then did Bingqi disappear completely.
The room fell into silence.
The War Prince asked Su Mo a few questions from the entry and exit records. After Su Mo answered, he saw that the War Prince seemed to be completely unconcerned about what the guard had reported earlier. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, the War Prince's Mansion is in the center of the storm right now."
The residences of ministers who were detained and controlled.
There is also the undercurrent that has been brewing in Beijing these days.
If Su Mingyue were to continue kneeling in front of the door like this without any action being taken, it would probably be detrimental to the War King's reputation.
"Hmm?" The War King didn't raise his eyebrows.
"The eldest princess and the Su family are behind Su Mingyue's matter. It's not a small matter. Should it really be handed over to Miss Su to handle?" Su Mo reminded tactfully. This is not a small matter. If it is not handled, the rumors will become more and more serious.
"She is my future Princess Zhan, not Cuscuta." The Zhan King raised his eyes slightly, and the intimidating pressure in his deep eyes came towards him, forcing Su Mo to choose to shut up.
It also made Su Mo realize that Su Jixue was not a vase or a decoration in the eyes of the King of War, but someone he truly regarded as a companion.
At this time, Su Jixue had just finished her meal and was listening to Bing Qi, who suddenly appeared, reporting on Su Mingyue and the capital.
Su Jixue just listened quietly.
Gui Mingzhu was also kept by Su Jixue. As the saying goes, if your vision is not broad enough, then you should broaden your horizons. You should know that a woman's vision is not limited to the world of the harem, and it is not limited to the competition between women.
"So the tunnel ended up at the long-deserted mansion of a wealthy Jiangnan businessman." Su Jixue asked about the details she was interested in: "Have the neighbors of this wealthy businessman investigated?"
"The neighbors on both sides have sent people to keep an eye on this house, but they didn't find anything unusual." Bing Qi looked up at Su Jixue, then continued to answer with his eyes lowered.
"There's nothing unusual in the palace. All the residences that the tunnel passes through are under control, but their whereabouts are unknown." Su Jixue pondered, "It's been five days, and there's no news?"
"Yes, I don't know if he is still in the capital." Bing Qi answered properly.
"He can't get out." Su Jixue said with certainty.
A light flashed in Bing Qi's eyes.
"I stabbed him at night. The poison will take effect by sunrise at the latest, and he will lose his ability to move. Therefore, it is impossible for him to choose to raid out of the capital." Su Jixue already knew the result when she stabbed him. Zong Kui could not escape, and even if he did, he could not get far.
This is why Su Jixue was determined to stab him even if it meant getting hit by the sword.
If Zongkui is not able to move, then he will have to rely on someone to take him out of the capital, but the War King has strictly restricted the passage out of the city, so he definitely cannot leave.
"Jun Wuzui controls the medicine shop to death. If we hold on for two more days, Zongkui will definitely react."
Su Jixue's poison would kill him in just seven days.
If Zong Kui doesn't want to die, he will definitely take action in the next two days.
"The master thinks so too." Bing Qi looked up at Su Jixue with a hint of respect in his eyes.
"What about the rumor you just mentioned in the capital?" Su Jixue looked at Bing Qi, frowning slightly at the rumor that the banker was surrounded because the War King was looking for revenge. "Is it true?"
She had done some research on Jun Wuzui before, but it was limited to what happened after he became famous, mainly studying his behavior and personality traits.
Su Jixue did know about the War King's background, but she didn't know much. She didn't have much information on this aspect, which was strange to think about. This was also due to his personality, but the information that Zong Kui gave her was not that detailed.
This is not like Zong Kui's style.
Looking back now, Su Jixue will find that there are many missed details.
It was as if, unknowingly, Zong Kui had cocooned her within the information she had acquired, allowing her to only understand the information she was fed. If this were the case...anything out of the ordinary must be demonic.
"The rumors about our master back then are true." Bing Qi nodded honestly, "But spreading this news at this time must be to cover up the matter of Zong Kui."
"This shows that Zong Kui is anxious." Su Jixue sneered. The poison she made must have made him very uncomfortable. Especially since the regent who had the final say in Nanqing was living a life of a rat in Dongchu, it really made her feel relieved!
"Moreover, the people who saved Zongkui must know about the old events." Su Jixue said lightly. Her "mother" must have also played a role in the incident of the deposed queen of Dongchu, otherwise she would not have been so decisive in finding a breakthrough in the way that King Zhan detained the Zhuang family.
Then, the range is narrowed again.
"Investigate the families who advised against the empress's abdication or took advantage of her misfortune to commit treason. Also, check if any of these families had lost children. The answer lies in the questions that arise." Su Jixue gave instructions to Bing Qi.
"Yes!" Bing Qi realized after receiving the order that this was only Miss Su, who was about to marry into Prince Zhan's mansion, and not Prince Zhan. He spoke with some embarrassment, "Miss Su, this needs to be reported to the master before it can be decided."
"Go!" Su Jixue didn't care. They were originally from Prince Zhan's mansion. It seemed that she really needed her own people.
She also wanted to stir up the situation in the capital of Dongchu.
"Miss, at the door..." At this time, a maid came in hurriedly, as if she had something urgent to report.
"Don't worry about Su Mingyue's affairs. Let her kneel down." Su Jixue interrupted the other party directly.
Su Mingyue dared to kneel in public, so she ignored him.
"No, it's your mother who came to visit. The gatekeeper didn't dare to let her in, so he asked this servant to come and report it."
