"It should be just two days."
With Sang Zhi in the palace and pressure from all sides of the martial arts world on Sifang Mountain, Emperor Beili is truly a man who knows how to adapt to the times.
The imperial edict was issued faster than she had imagined.
"Oh, yes, yesterday the Earl's Lord was summoned to the palace, and upon his return, his tongue was cut out. The Fifth Princess also lost a finger, and now she and her husband are both imprisoned in the Sky Prison."
"It's too easy for her to just break off a finger." Huaihua snorted coldly.
Ye Qianning knew about this yesterday: "This is just a precursor. Sang Shu will die!"
"She is a princess of a country. Even if there is an assassination attempt, the emperor will not kill her."
"Just wait and see, Auntie. Sang Shu's crimes are more than just assassination." The foreign country is the key to her life.
Shaoyao was puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions. She simply said, "Don't expose yourself to anything. The capital may seem like a loose sand, but if they unite, they shouldn't be underestimated. There are many people lurking under the surface."
Ye Qianning nodded: "Aunt, please help me get a list of the daughters of various wealthy families in the capital, and try to list their preferences."
Once you enter the capital, you will inevitably have to deal with the circle of noble ladies.
"Okay, I'll sort it out tomorrow."
"Okay, we'll talk about other things later. For now, eating is the most important thing. I'll have the food delivered." Huaihua reached out and patted her: "Sit and wait."
Ye Qianning looked at the time and sat down. He slept too late yesterday and got up too late today.
I wanted to go to Loushan early in the morning, but somehow I fell into a deep sleep. When I suddenly woke up, I found that it was almost noon.
Come to think of it, this situation rarely happened to her, and she sighed slightly. Lately, with her father around, she had been too relaxed.
People really can't be lazy.
Ye Qianning was very full after the meal. His aunt's cooking skills had only improved compared to the past.
They had just finished their meal and had not yet cleared the table when the maid from Si Yin Fang knocked on the door.
"Master, someone has come from Lord Wu's residence."
"Tell them to wait a moment, I'll be right there." Huaihua said towards the door, then turned around and said, "I'm going to go to Lord Wu's house to teach his two daughters how to play the piano. I guess I'll be back very late tonight. Take this jade token. I'll ask your Seventh Aunt to go see Madam An later. You can mobilize the people in Siyinfang as you like."
"Okay." Ye Qianning accepted the jade pendant and said, "Auntie will personally teach the official's daughter the art of playing the zither?"
"She was originally taught by the zither master at Siyinfang. Miss Wu is very arrogant, and the Queen specifically asked her to learn the zither. An ordinary zither master would not be able to control her."
"Which Wu family?"
Ye Qianning questioned.
"He's Prime Minister Gao's favorite student. He rose from a county magistrate to the highest position in the imperial court in just a few years. He was relatively low-key when he first arrived in Beijing, but a few years ago, the Empress suddenly discovered that Lord Wu's wife was her long-lost cousin from her mother's family. The Empress frequently summoned the mother and daughter of the Wu family to the palace. The Empress doted on Miss Wu very much, and over time, Miss Wu's temper became spoiled." Huaihua said, standing up. "I'll change my clothes first. If you're going out, be sure to tell your Seventh Aunt to avoid worrying us."
"I understand. Aunt, you can go quickly." Ye Qianning looked up and smiled.
Huaihua went into the inner room, changed her clothes and gave a few instructions before leaving.
Ye Qianning was quite familiar with the officials in the capital back then, but yesterday when she wandered around the west and east of the city, she found that many of the former officials' houses had changed their plaques and names.
Only some insignificant officials at that time seemed to have remained unmoved.
