Originally everyone thought that when Jiang Xinian left, Xiao Lingling would cry sadly or make a big fuss.
But no, she acted as if nothing had happened, eating, refining medicine, practicing martial arts, and resting as usual.
Everything is as if nothing happened...
But the more she did this, the more worried everyone became, fearing that she was just suppressing and numbing herself.
It was not until three days later that Xiao Lingling packed her bags and found her senior brothers who were gathered together to discuss how to make her happy.
"Senior Brother~"
The sudden sound of the little bell startled everyone, and they all stood up quickly.
"Ah! Little bell?"
“Uh, here!”
"Junior Sister, what's wrong? Is there anything we can help you with?"
Xiao Lingling found it a little funny to see how nervous they all were, but she didn't say much and just waved to Su Jingsheng.
"Big Brother, I received a letter from the Emperor. We have to go back."
Su Jingsheng was a little surprised, "What? Father's letter? Why didn't I receive it?"
Xiao Lingdang just smiled but didn't explain, "Yes, I just received it too. Let's go back." She just said in her heart that something happened, but didn't say what it was.
It just so happens that I've been out for a long time. Let's go to the capital first. Once everything is settled, I can go home."
Su Jingsheng didn't doubt it. "Okay, then I'll go pack my things now! Wait for me, I'll be quick."
Xiao Lingling nodded, and Su Jingsheng immediately hurried towards his yard.
The remaining brothers immediately surrounded Xiao Lingling.
"Junior Sister, what have you been busy with these past two days? You're so secretive, can't you even tell the brothers?"
"That's right, I smelled the fragrance of medicine during that time. Did you refine some new and strange elixir?"
"Really? Show us and let us observe."
Everyone was really curious. The junior sister had locked herself in the pharmacy for most of the past two days, and no one knew what she was thinking about.
They wanted to help but were not allowed to, and could only occasionally smell the strong aroma of medicine.
The smell is quite pleasant, but I can't tell what it is.
Now that I have the chance, of course I have to ask.
Xiao Lingling just smiled and said nothing. When the grown men saw her like this, they were completely at a loss.
So until Xiao Lingdang and Su Jingsheng stepped out of the mountain gate, they still didn't get to the bottom of it.
I could only sneak into Xiao Lingdang's pharmacy to look for clues.
However, this place had obviously been cleaned, so clean that not even a hair was left, so naturally there was nothing to gain.
Senior brother Xiao Lingdang and his sister rushed to the capital. At the border, Chu Yu also arranged for Xue Zhining to personally lead a team of people to secretly rush to the capital.
This matter is of great importance and may directly change the complicated situation in the court.
Xiao Lingling also came prepared this time.
Although her grandfather and master died at the hands of different people, these people were all in the same group!
To her, they were all murderers.
Originally, she could wait and find a way to take revenge without dirtying her hands, but now, she doesn't want to wait any longer.
She was afraid that something uncontrollable would happen. She cared about too many people, and she couldn't restrain everyone in front of her for safety.
Then we can only change our approach, turn from defense to offense, and directly eliminate the dangerous elements that may cause harm!
She already has a preliminary plan, but everything depends on the specific situation after returning to Beijing.
The two teams galloped towards the capital, and their progress was surprisingly similar. However, the Divine Doctor Sect was closer to the border, so Xiao Lingdang and the others arrived first.
It wasn’t long since the last time she went to Beijing, but this time Xiao Lingling clearly felt something different.
The once bustling streets now looked a little deserted, with pedestrians hurrying along with their heads down, and the scenes of people talking, laughing, and joking were no longer seen.
Even Su Jingsheng felt the urgency of the impending storm.
The two of them drank tea at the tea stall, glancing at the surrounding environment inconspicuously.
"What's going on? I just left not long ago, why do I feel so different after coming back?"
Su Jingsheng was really confused. He wanted to go directly into the palace, but was dragged here by Xiao Lingling to drink tea.
Xiao Lingdang didn't say anything, but just waved to the owner of the tea stall with a smile, "Uncle, I want to ask, has anything happened in our capital recently?
My brother and I are here to visit relatives, but why does this situation feel a little off? "
Xiao Lingling smiled sweetly, and when the boss came over, she subtly stuffed a piece of silver into his hand.
Seeing this, the boss smiled and quickly put it away. He looked around and made sure that there was no one around. Then he lowered his head and explained in a low voice.
"We are just ordinary people. We don't know much. We just heard it from others. Please don't be offended if what we say is wrong!"
Xiao Lingling smiled and waved her hands, "Don't worry, uncle, we're just getting to know each other briefly. I'm not very familiar with the capital, and I'm afraid that my brother and I might accidentally break some taboos."
Seeing how easy it was to talk to her, the boss smiled and said, "I heard that the emperor lost his temper in the court a few days ago and detained several officials.
I heard there was even a death penalty! So everyone has been keeping a tight rein lately, no one dares to cause trouble at this critical juncture.
But you don't have to worry too much. After all, it has little to do with us ordinary people. As long as you do your own things peacefully, you will be fine."
Su Jingsheng was a little surprised. "Oh? Then do you know which companies were seized?"
"I heard there was someone called Lord Yao and someone called Lord Zheng. We ordinary people don't know them and can't remember them clearly."
Su Jingsheng didn't make things difficult for him. He just said he understood and sent the man away.
However, knowing that something had indeed happened in the capital, he became even more restless. He wondered if it was the Yao family he had guessed. If it was, then people in the capital would probably be in panic for a while.
Little Bell curled her lips in amusement, "Big Brother, if I remember correctly, Concubine Ying's last name seems to be Yao!"
Su Jingsheng glanced at her and said, "Girl, you are outside, aren't you afraid of being heard? Don't talk nonsense, it would be bad if someone heard you.
How's it going? You're not thirsty anymore after drinking the tea, right? If you're not thirsty, come home with me quickly. I need to find someone to check this out!"
Xiao Lingling knew what she wanted to know, and without further delay, she went straight back to the eldest prince's palace.
As soon as Su Jingsheng came in, he asked the housekeeper and got an answer similar to that of the tea stall owner, but it was a little more detailed.
