"How do you know it was mother that night?"
"Hehe..." Su Ning'an sniffed while hugging Baili Qingluan's arm. "My nose is very sensitive. I can smell the fragrance on my mother's body. Next time, if you want to go out at night, you must cover up the fragrance on your body, otherwise it will be easy for people to find out that it is you."
Baili Qingluan couldn't help but smile and pinched Su Ning'an's little nose. "You have a sensitive nose, and mother's eyesight is also very good. Next time you go out at night, you can't just wear a mask, you must also change into black clothes."
"Ah! You actually discovered me that night. I was hiding very secretly, not even daring to breathe loudly."
"Son, how can you be so cute?" Baili Qingluan couldn't help but rub Su Ning'an's chubby little face. "Not only did your mother find you, she also escorted you all the way back."
"Huh? How come I didn't notice? I remember looking back several times, but there was no one following me."
"Mother is flying on the roof with Qinggong, so you naturally can't see her."
"Then mother, can you teach me Qinggong? I want to learn from mother, not from father, Su Yun and the others."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Xiao Lingyu wanted to know the progress of Censor Meng's secret investigation in Beijing, so after lunch he sent someone to call Meng Gaoyu into his house.
"Has there been any news from your brother?"
"My Lord, I haven't received a letter from my brother yet. I should have news in a few days."
Meng Gaoyu understood his brother's style of doing things. He knew that the lack of news meant that the investigation had encountered difficulties.
"Then Lord Meng, please write a letter to your brother immediately. There are rumors circulating that coincide with my previous speculation. There's an 80% chance that Baili Qingluan has been framed. Rumors will soon reach the capital, and once the Song family becomes alert, it will be difficult to investigate secretly. Censor Meng must find evidence of Baili Qingluan's framing before the court sends anyone to investigate."
"Yes, I will immediately write a letter and have it delivered to the capital at an expedited rate of a hundred miles."
However, the Song family had already taken precautions, and the second master of the Song family, Song Linjiang, was in charge of the Beijing patrol camp.
Due to the war between Bei Yi and Xi Rong, the defense of the capital was strengthened tenfold than before.
After receiving an urgent letter from Song Heng, Song Linjiang increased his military presence at the city gates.
In particular, they arranged patrols from the patrol camp at street food stalls, teahouses, noodle shops and other places where all kinds of people gathered, and secretly arranged for the Song family to keep watch every day.
For a time, no one in the capital dared to discuss the war between Xirong and Beiyi.
"Your Highness, this was sent here by Eunuch Zhao on the orders of the Queen Mother."
"Leave it there."
Feng Jinyu didn't even raise his head before asking Xu Mo to put aside the picture album of the noble ladies from aristocratic families in Beijing who were waiting to be married.
Xu Mo glanced at the two piles of picture albums next to him that had been delivered a few days ago and had not been looked through yet.
No need to guess that today this will still be treated like this.
"Your Highness, this is a noble lady carefully selected for you by the Queen Mother. It was painted by the Princess's master, Mr. Gan. Please take a look and pick one that suits your eyes. I'm worried that next time the Queen Mother will not only send you a picture album, but may also send you a dozen concubines, or even grant you a marriage..."
Hearing this, Feng Jinyu raised his eyes and glanced at it, "Bring it here."
Xu Mo casually brought the other two stacks of picture albums to Feng Jinyu.
Feng Jinyu casually flipped through a few books and then put them aside. "Go and tell Eunuch Zhao that I will go to the palace and inform the Queen Mother when I have chosen someone."
Feng Jinyu knew very well that there was no possibility for him and Xiao Lingyu to be together anymore, and he couldn't keep dragging it on.
I picked up the album again and started flipping through it, but I just couldn't concentrate on reading it, so I put it down after reading a few books...
Two days later, Yan Xiaosi came back from outside and happened to see Xiao Lingyu leading everyone to share the cake.
Shangguan Yunxiao glanced at everyone and said to Su Xingyi, "Master Su, my cold hasn't completely healed yet. I'll go back and lie down for a while."
"Go ahead. The maid will bring you some ginger tea in a bit. Drink it before you go to sleep. You should be completely fine when you wake up."
"Yeah, I know."
When they arrived at the Jade Hall, Shangguan Yunxiao arranged for his men to guard outside the courtyard and took Yan Xiaosi into the room.
"How is it? Have you found out?"
"I learned that Su Xingyi was from Guihua Village in Xishui County, so I went there. Su Xingyi was a hunter with a disabled leg and a blind eye."
"A crippled leg and blind eyes?" Shangguan Yunxiao couldn't believe it. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"It's absolutely true. Before Princess Xiao married into the Su family, Su Xingyi was already crippled and blind. It was Princess Xiao who cured him after she married. We couldn't find out the truth at first. The villagers of Guihua Village are very xenophobic. It was only then that my subordinates used some money and found the more greedy villagers to find out. Su Xingyi was cured and even built a large, beautiful house..."
"Are there any other elders in his family?"
"No! Su Xingyi isn't from Guihua Village. He was picked up by Su's father over 20 years ago. Since then, Su's father has had much better luck hunting in the mountains. Su Xingyi was able to go hunting at a young age. I also heard that Su Xingyi met a great master in the mountains who taught him to read and practice martial arts."
"Then where is his master?"
Shangguan Yunxiao felt that this person should know Su Xingyi's true identity.
"No one in the village has ever seen him. That master has been living deep in Wufeng Mountain, where there are many ferocious beasts. No one in the village dares to go in. Only Su Xingyi has the courage to go in and learn martial arts and literacy from his master. However, the villagers haven't seen Su Xingyi go to Wufeng Mountain to pay his respects to his master for many years. I think he has already left Wufeng Mountain..."
"What about the children? Which one is his biological child?"
"Su Xingyi picked them up and raised them as his own sons. He probably learned this from Old Man Su."
Shangguan Yunxiao felt more and more that Su Xingyi's life experience was not simple. When Princess Xiao married him, why did it feel like the Emperor of Beiyi specially chose a wife for Su Xingyi?
