After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

There was a middle-aged man in Xiao Zhen's study who looked quite wise. He was discussing something with Xiao Zhen. The two sat opposite each other at the tea table.

While the maid was pouring tea, the paper man came out from under the maid's skirt, followed the maid's clothes and crawled under the tea table with his hands and feet, and stuck it under the table top.

No one can see her.

After serving tea, the maid left without saying a word.

Xiao Zhen was in a good mood: "Mr. Xi, you have a good idea this time. There are rumors everywhere in Kyoto that Jiang Jiulu and Jiang Trulu are obsessed with me. Yuan Qi will definitely be able to sense that there is something wrong with this and will definitely settle the score with me." , when the time comes, as long as she dares to come, I can make her come back."

Mr. Xi chuckled and stroked his beard: "Thanks to His Highness's trust, I will have the opportunity to be loyal to Your Highness. The Jiang family still wants to take revenge on Your Highness, and Your Highness must be on guard, especially in the court. The Jiang family's power is not small. Don't listen. He said that the four major families are very closely connected, and there is no guarantee that he will not stand on the same front as the Jiang family. His Highness must be careful in his words and deeds recently, and do not let the four major families take advantage of him. "

Xiao Zhen frowned: "This is my biggest headache. I have always wanted to marry a girl from Xiangli's family, but Xianglimu didn't give me any face. That day when I went to visit Xiangli's house, I even married Xianglimu. I haven’t even seen him in person, it’s really annoying. The Xiangli family actually ignores the royal family to this extent.”

He didn't say the next words: when he becomes emperor, he must kill the nine Xiangli clans to see how arrogant they are.

Xi now patiently persuaded him: "Your Highness, please don't be impatient. Xiangli Mu's legitimate daughter is still young. It won't be too late for Your Highness to propose marriage in a few years."

Xiao Zhen took a sip of tea and felt very unhappy: "Sir, what I said is that Miss Xiangli is indeed still young. What makes me angry is Xiangli Mu's attitude."

Mr. Xi advised him: "Your Highness, I heard that the Crown Prince also wanted to marry Xiangli Mu's legitimate daughter, but was declined. The Xiangli family is like this. They despise the imperial power so much, and they will be punished sooner or later. Even the emperor is annoyed. If you get rid of them, you don’t have to worry, someone will naturally take care of Xianglishi without you taking action.”

Xiao Zhen nodded in agreement. Mr. Xi was right. Even his father was working on dealing with the Xiangli clan. He believed that the Xiangli clan would disappear from the world in a few years.

"By the way, how is your contact with Yaoguang Pavilion, sir?"

Mr. Xi shook his head: "Tu Shanli has not yet agreed to meet His Highness. However, the people I sent saw Miss Seven of the Jiang family going to see Tu Shanli two days ago. If His Highness can subdue Miss Seven, it will be a great help to His Highness in the future. "

Xiao Zhen was very unhappy. He said disdainfully: "This person is unruly and unruly. She is not of my race. It is difficult to recover her. I can only let her die."

He was very dissatisfied with Tu Shanli and felt that Tu Shanli was as disrespectful to the imperial power as Xiangli. When he accomplished his great feat, he would definitely punish Tu Shanli and make Tu Shanli kneel down to apologize to him.

The two talked secretly for a long time, and Mr. Xi left after more than an hour.

Then Xiao Zhen crossed his legs and started practicing "Ten Thousand Ghosts in the Forest", while the paper man took a peek at the table legs.

When it got dark and Xiao Zhen left the study, Zhicai slipped out.

The paper man gestured anxiously in front of Yuan Qi. His expression made people laugh. The paper man could not speak. Only then did Yuan Qi realize that she had been careless and failed to draw a mouth on the paper man. She took out the cinnabar pen and drew the paper man's mouth. After opening his mouth, Zhicai told Yuan Qi everything he saw and heard.

Yuan Qi knew that Xiao Zhen was not as gentle and gentle as she expected. In fact, he was a very dark and vicious person, who typically did one thing before others and another after others.

Maybe he had some ulterior purpose in being with Xiao Yi.

But she can't care about so much, she just needs to take care of herself.

Just when Yuan Qi was about to go to sleep, there was chaos outside. Shen Xun came in from outside and told her that Jiang Jiulu had hanged himself, and the maid found out that he had been rescued. Yuan Qi went over and took a look and found that Li Guiconcubine, Jiang Junjing, and Jiang Junyu had all passed by.

Jiang Junyu also comforted her: "Don't worry, my father and I have already discussed a way to retaliate against His Highness the Fifth Prince, and I promise to make him suffer the consequences."

There was a red mark on Jiang Jiulu's neck from the white silk ribbon, which looked shocking.

Concubine Li sharply rebuked the maid responsible for keeping watch tonight: "Didn't I tell you to take good care of the lady? How did you do your job?"

The little maid knelt on the ground and replied anxiously: "The young lady said she was hungry, so she asked the slave to make her a bowl of noodles. The slave said no one was there to look after the young lady, but the young lady said it was okay and asked me to make the noodles. The slave made the noodles. When I came back, I found that the young lady had committed suicide. Auntie, it’s not that this servant is not doing her best, it’s the young lady..."

Li Gui's concubine was angry. She almost lost her daughter. She had the little maid dragged out and beaten. She also called two maids to watch the night, and ordered: "In the future, there will be at least two people watching the night."

The woman in charge of managing the yard immediately agreed: "I will take good care of the young lady. Please rest assured, aunt."

Jiang Jiulu's eyes were still red, feeling that she had suffered great humiliation and had brought shame to her family.

She cried: "Auntie, people outside are gossiping about me now, and it's so unpleasant."

Jiang Junyu naturally knew about this matter, and he was the most well-informed: "Don't worry, sister, I have already tried my best to suppress this matter, and everyone will forget about it soon."

Jiang Jiulu didn't believe it. She collapsed and asked, "What can third brother do? I think the words spread outside must be maliciously spread by someone. Can we make others stop talking?"

Jiang Junjing comforted her: "Don't you know what your third brother is capable of? There is nothing he can't do. If the emperor doesn't give us justice, we can find justice ourselves. Our Jiang family is not someone to be bullied. Don't worry, it's very easy. Something more exciting will happen soon, which will overshadow your incident."

Jiang Junyu nodded: "Yes, my brother does not allow others to bully my sister."

The mother and son finally calmed down Jiang Jiulu.

When Jiang Junyu left, he discovered that Yuan Qi was still standing at the door of the bedroom.

"Seventh sister, why are you here?"

Yuan Qi followed him out, exchanged greetings with Li Gui, and then said after leaving Li Gui, "I found out something and wanted to tell my two brothers."

She told the two of them the news that the paper man had found out: "Xiao Zhen is practicing evil skills. We must not underestimate him. I'm afraid you are no match for him. You must not confront him head-on."

Jiang Junyu looked solemn: "How dare he be so bold? If this is the case, we will have to discuss the strategy we have discussed with our father again. Seventh sister, thank you."

Jiang Junjing also said: "Even the eldest brother can't deal with him?"

Yuan Qi shook his head: "Although my eldest brother has high martial arts skills, I can struggle with him for a while, but I will eventually lose. If I attack rashly, I may kill my eldest brother."
