As Miao Li left, Duan Gouqiong slowly approached, "Is this the Queen Mother's eldest brother? He looks a bit too rough. If I really had to choose someone to be my partner, I would definitely not choose him."
Then Duan Gouqiong began to look at the gift box curiously, wondering what gift was inside.
"Pawn it and get some money. You can buy some new clothes for the kids."
Duan Gouqiong's eyes were bright: "You are really kind, why don't you buy me some new clothes or something?"
"If you want to buy, how many can you afford?"
"Tsk, what you said is really unpleasant to hear!"

After Ni Yueshan fed Jing Yuchen the medicine, he went to rest. Zou Yangyao, following Ni Yueshan's instructions, ambushed near the Miao family. As long as Miao Li went out, he would die.
After nightfall, the capital city was still prosperous, with bright lights everywhere. Outside a famous brothel in the capital, a carriage stopped. Miao Li, drunk, was helped down from the carriage for the second banquet.
He seemed to be in a good mood and said with a smile: "Today, this general wants to drink to his heart's content. All the people under my command will be paid for by me, Miao Li!"
"General, please be careful on the steps." The servant who supported him was very careful and helped him into the brothel. Immediately, a girl came up to greet him.
Miao Li looked at the colorful shadows before him and laughed: "Let's go to this general's room and have some fun!"
It was not until dawn that Miao Li was helped out. However, at this time, Miao Li's eyes were tightly closed, and he was obviously fast asleep. The servant helped Miao Li onto the carriage, whipped the horse, and drove away.
The group of people who had been secretly guarding everywhere for most of the night saw the leader wave his hand and immediately took action. They flew over, blocked the carriage's way, and quickly rushed forward, killing Miao Li with a knife in his throat while he was sleeping.
Then, on the empty and quiet street, loud screams of fear rang out: "Ah! Murder, murder! General Miao has been murdered!"
Later, during the morning court session, the ministers reported the incident to Miao Qinghua. Miao Qinghua's reaction could be described as shock. He had just won the lawsuit against the palace, but was assassinated before dawn!
In the court, ministers were also discussing the murder of Miao Li.
Miao Qinghua frowned tightly as she watched the reactions of the ministers present one by one.
"The capital is under the Emperor's feet, yet someone dared to kill General Miao in the Imperial City. This person is extremely arrogant and is tantamount to rebellion! Do you still have the courage to come to court every day?"
The ministers present began to discuss the matter. How could Miao Li, a general, be killed like this?
"Queen Dowager, I heard that the Prince Regent's Palace just had a lawsuit with General Miao. General Miao won, but he was killed before dawn. This suspicion..."
The person who spoke was not someone else, but Shao Lecheng.
The ministers present were already suspicious, and his remarks undoubtedly deepened the suspicion of the Regent's Palace.
Ni Gaofei, who was standing nearby, also spoke up at this point: "Prince, please be careful with your words. It is truly imprudent to make comments before a thorough investigation has even begun!"
Shao Lecheng rubbed his chin unconvincedly: "This is obvious."
Then he looked at Miao Qinghua and said, "Queen Dowager, General Miao is a pillar of the country. We should hand this matter over to the three judicial departments for a thorough investigation and joint trial so that a result can be reached as soon as possible."
When the court dispersed, the ministers were still discussing. Ni Gaofei left the palace first with a serious expression and went to the Regent's Palace.
In the palace, Ni Yueshan had just stood up and fed Jing Yuchen the medicine when the servant came to report that Ni Gaofei had arrived.
She put down the bowl, stood up and went to meet Ni Gaofei.
Ni Gaofei paced back and forth anxiously in the pavilion, looking very uneasy and unable to concentrate.
Ni Yueshan walked over slowly and said from a distance, "Dad, are you looking for me?"
Ni Gaofei immediately stepped forward and asked, "Yueshan, did you know that Miao Li was killed?"
Ni Yueshan was not surprised and nodded calmly: "I know."
Seeing that Ni Yueshan was very calm, Ni Gaofei frowned even deeper: "You don't seem surprised at all, could it be that this is related to you?"
Ni Yueshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, not caring much: "I sent someone to kill him!"
Ni Gaofei looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise. How could Ni Yueshan be so calm after killing Miao Qinghua's brother?
"You, you, just because you lost the lawsuit, you killed someone?" Ni Gaofei looked at Ni Yueshan in disbelief.
Ni Yueshan smiled and shook his head: "Losing the lawsuit is inevitable, and killing him is also inevitable. It is definitely not a sudden impulse. Dad, everyone knows Miao Li's virtue. He relies on the fact that the current Queen Mother is his sister and can walk sideways in the capital!"
"He eats and drinks without paying, and when others come to ask for debts, he beats them up at will, and he also forcibly abducts women, and when he gets tired of them, he sends them to brothels. Dad, this kind of person deserves death."
Ni Gaofei still looked at her in confusion, "Do you know that once it is found out that you are the one who did this, even the Regent will find it difficult to protect you!"
