Guo Lingxi was not surprised: "I knew you wouldn't trust me that easily."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her and said, "Beiyan and Dazhou are enemies. Helian Ye killed Wei Ting's grandfather. He was also responsible for the death of Wei Ting's father and brothers. Now you tell me, his niece wants to marry Wei Ting? Will Helian Ye agree?"

Helian Ye had once threatened to kill every member of the Wei family.

Guo Lingxi had not intended to reveal too much to Su Xiaoxiao, but Su Xiaoxiao was stubborn and always refused to believe her, which made her very annoyed.

She gritted her teeth and said sarcastically, "Why do you think the Minister of Works chose the first day of July as an auspicious date for you? You just got married when the envoys from Northern Yan arrived. If it was one day later, it would be hard to say whether the marriage would be successful or not."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Guo Lingxi without blinking. When she and Wei Ting set the wedding date, she had not heard that Bei Yan would visit.

Could it be that Sikong Yun had already calculated Beiyan's actions at that time? Or on a deeper level, Sikong Yun had a relationship with Beiyan.

How did Guo Lingxi know all this? From Prime Minister Guo? She had always thought that Prime Minister Guo was cunning and must have colluded with Mo Guiyuan, but in the end, she found out that Prime Minister Guo had nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect.

Was her intuition wrong, or was there some clue that she had missed? Su Xiaoxiao still couldn't believe that Prime Minister Guo, this old fox, was clean. Otherwise, how could she explain that Guo Lingxi knew so many things?

Prime Minister Guo’s understanding of Beiyan is the same as Sikong Yun’s understanding of Beiyan.

So can we infer reversely that both Sikong Yun and Prime Minister Guo have connections with Northern Yan?

Mo Guiyuan was dead, but the whereabouts of the imperial edict of the previous emperor was unknown? Su Xiaoxiao, like Xiao Chonghua, believed that the imperial edict existed.

Could it be that a small guardian like Zhang Feng really have the ability to evade the court's investigation by carrying the imperial edict?

No one could hide him, could he do it? The White Lotus Sect was destroyed, but the White Lotus Sect’s story was not over yet!

There is an invisible big hand behind Mo Guiyuan! The relationship between that person and Mo Guiyuan is not that of master and servant or superior and subordinate. It is more appropriate to describe it as cooperation.

There was a reason why Su Xiaoxiao was so suspicious.

The first information they found was that Mo Guiyuan colluded with Beiyan to kill Wu'an Jun and indirectly killed Wei Ting's father and brother. Because it was an established fact, everyone accepted it and forgot to doubt how a small White Lotus leader was qualified to make Beiyan conspire with him.

In addition, Mo Guiyuan's deployment in the capital was too successful. He had infiltrated almost every important place, and even the imperial palace was filled with his spies.

Mo Guiyuan only sent a daughter into the Wei family, and this daughter was not very obedient. How could he have such great ability to establish connections everywhere?

If there was a person who was extremely familiar with the capital and in a high position of power, and if he worked together with Mo Guiyuan, everything would make sense.

It was through that person that Mo Guiyuan hooked up with Beiyan, and it was also through that person that he completed various deployments in the capital.

But what even Mo Guiyuan himself probably didn't know was that he was just a chess piece in the other party's hands.

Mo Guiyuan really didn't want to kill his grandchildren, it was that man who wanted to kill them.

Captain Chen's words made them think that the person who killed Wei Ting's brothers was Guo Huan.

But what if the information that Captain Chen had was wrong? Someone had indeed betrayed Mo Guiyuan and secretly conspired with Beiyan to murder Wei Ting's father and brother, but the other party was not Guo Huan, but the person who had been secretly "cooperating" with Mo Guiyuan.

Mo Guiyuan couldn’t get the late emperor’s edict, but that person could, which showed that he was someone the late emperor trusted very much.

Maybe the late emperor handed the imperial edict to him before his death, asking him to make it public after his death. Unexpectedly, he did not do so. Instead, he forged a secret edict and asked Qin Canglan and Su Shuo to support King Ruyang to ascend the throne.

They were so immersed in the joy of victory in killing Mo Guiyuan that they overlooked so many anomalies behind the scenes and simply attributed everything to Mo Guiyuan's ability.

Guo Lingxi's words completely woke her up.

Guo Lingxi didn't realize that the words he casually used to stimulate Su Xiaoxiao actually opened up Su Xiaoxiao's thoughts.

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao turned around and left, she scolded in a delicate voice: "I haven't even finished talking yet, and you left? Don't you want to know what happened between Princess Beiyan and Wei Ting?"

Su Xiaoxiao kept walking.

"I'll tell you even if you don't want to hear it!"

Guo Lingxi looked at Su Xiaoxiao's indifferent back and snorted coldly, "Wei Ting once went deep into the military camp of King Hu Lie of Northern Yan alone and chopped off King Hu Lie's head, but you know that he was surrounded and killed, and it was the Princess of Northern Yan who let him go!"

"Just wait until you lose Brother Ting!"

Just like when I lost him!

You taste me too!

Su Xiaoxiao left the palace directly and took a carriage to the Imperial Observatory.

Sikong Yun, he is that man’s confidant!

They took all kinds of precautions, but they failed to catch Sikong Yun! They said that the Imperial Observatory was a place that the White Lotus Sect could not reach. Yes, why was the Imperial Observatory so impregnable?

Because Mo Guiyuan's power in the capital was deployed through that person, how could he place Mo Guiyuan's spies in his own territory?

"It's so stupid, it's so stupid that I have to!"

Su Xiaoxiao was furious and felt like she was being fooled for the first time in her life! When she arrived at the Imperial Observatory with murderous intent, she was told that Sikong Yun had gone to heaven.

"Xianyou?"

Yu Feng said awkwardly, "Master has gone to look for medicinal materials for the elixir of life for His Majesty."

Su Xiaoxiao: "Bullshit!"

Yu Feng shuddered with fear.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao tremblingly: "Su... uh no... Miss Qin... Madam Wei... what's wrong with you?"

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to see it with her own eyes, so she called the Five Tigers and turned the Imperial Observatory upside down, but they indeed did not find Sikong Yun.

Su Xiaoxiao left in a rage.

Qin Canglan had just come out of the mansion and was about to go to the Imperial College to pick up Su Ergou, when he saw Su Xiaoxiao, who looked ferocious, on the street.

He quickly dismounted and walked over with big strides: "Xiao Xiao!"

What happened today? My son is listless and my granddaughter is acting weird too?

"Why are you wandering around the streets alone? Where's Wei Ting?"

Su Xiaoxiao then remembered that she was so busy looking for Sikong Yun that she left Wei Ting in the palace.

She scratched her head awkwardly: "I'll pick him up later. He should be busy for a while anyway. Grandfather, get in the carriage. I have something to tell you."

The two got in the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao told everyone her guesses and analysis exactly.

Qin Canglan frowned: "You mean there is someone behind Mo Guiyuan? Is Sikong Yun that person, or is he that person's lackey?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I tend to think the latter."

Qin Canglan never expected this to happen.

He always felt that Sikong Yun was the person he would least suspect in the entire court.

"But Sikong Yun didn't do anything to harm us... He even helped you set a suitable wedding date so that you and Wei Ting could get married before Princess Beiyan arrived."

Su Xiaoxiao said: "If he really didn't do anything to let us down, he wouldn't have run away. He must have done something, and we will find out soon, so he has to escape before the truth comes out."

Regarding this early morning update, do you think it should be postponed to the morning?
