The palace maids who followed behind looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

Everyone was thinking: Is there really something going on between Your Majesty and the Nine Thousand Year Old Man?

Wait until they enter the imperial study.

Su Changzhao gave him face before letting him drag himself over.

There is no one else around now.

She decisively shook him off.

Yu Jiuchen saw that his hands were empty and turned to look at her.

Su Changzhao said somewhat awkwardly: "Well... there is no one else here, Your Majesty, just say it directly if you have anything to say." With a fake smile on his face.

Yu Jiuchen looked helpless: "Actually, there is nothing else. I resorted to this strategy a few days ago to help you out, Chang Zhao, without discussing it with you in advance... I thought you would understand me."

【I don't understand you. 】

Yu Jiuchen pretended not to hear her thoughts, pursed his lips and continued: "...I know you have been avoiding me these days, so I want to make it clear to you. I have no other intentions towards Chang Zhao."

Seeing his sincere face, Su Changzhao said: [So that's how it is. I was shocked. ]

[I almost thought you were interested in a eunuch. ]

Yu Jiuchen didn't expect that Su Changzhao would reject him so much.

As soon as he finished thinking about it, he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with him.

Su Changzhao was right to reject me, so I am the sick one?

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Su Changzhao's charming smile and said, "Your Majesty, why do you say that? If it weren't for your quick thinking that day, the matter would never have been settled so easily."

Yu Jiuchen knew that she was not sincere, but he still pretended to be relieved and said: "I knew it, Chang Zhao understands me."

"Haha." Fake smile.

After leaving the palace.

Su Changzhao just remembered that he had not yet visited Fu Ningshuang.

"It's all that dog emperor's fault. I forgot to do my job."

Then he shouted to Li Xing outside the carriage.

Li Xing lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Your Excellency."

"Go and look after Miss Fu. Report to me if anything happens."

"I obey your orders."

Now that Su Changzhao still has his martial arts skills intact, there is no need for Li Xing to follow him everywhere.

After all, there are not many masters in this world who are more powerful than Su Changzhao.

When Li Xing was about to leave, Su Changzhao remembered something and called him, "Wait a moment."

"Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?" Li Xing turned around and asked.

"Have you found out who is behind Fu Ningshuang?"

Since he is from Yujiang, it should be easy to find him in Longcheng.

Li Xing: "I have some clues. I will report to you once I have found out more clearly."

Su Changzhao nodded: "Okay, go ahead and get busy."

After Li Xing left, Su Changzhao went to the Supervisory Office.

In the past two days, a "distinguished guest" came to the Supervisory Commission.

Su Changzhao calculated the time and it was time for her to show up.

When she arrived at the Overwatch House, she went straight to the dungeon.

Speaking of the dungeon of the Overwatch Council, it is not something that ordinary people can enter.

Those who can be imprisoned here must be high-ranking officials of at least the fifth rank.

Da da!

Walking in the dim dungeon corridor.

Su Changzhao quickly arrived outside a cell under the guidance of his men.

She first glanced with her peach eyes and looked at the person inside.

The other party was Cai Xujiang, who had openly taken the lead in suing her in the imperial study that day.

"Lord Cai, are you comfortable living here?" Su Changzhao took out the folding fan from his waist, unfolded it, and shook it.

The air in the dungeon was humid and smelly. Her fan had been fumigated with incense, so when it was waved, a fragrant smell filled the air, which just covered up the stench in the air.

Upon hearing this, Cai Xujiang glanced at the beautiful person at the cell door.

"Hmph~" a disdainful sound came from his nose.

Since he dared to do this, he had already made preparations for the funeral, so when he saw Su Chang coming, he was not surprised at all, let alone afraid.

Su Changzhao also knew that he was determined to die, and he had probably already made clear arrangements for his funeral, so he was so fearless.

But Su Changzhao has seen many people like this.

"Lord Cai cares about the country and is a veteran of two dynasties. He has served the court all his life, but now he has ended up like this. Lord Cai, do you know why?"

"Hmph~" Cai Xujiang turned his face away, looking as if he didn't want to talk to her any more.

Su Changzhao smiled and said, "The Cai family is full of loyal and brave people, but if there is a slanderous minister, I wonder if the ancestors of the Cai family will be so angry that their tablets will fall down, and they will all come to Lord Cai in their dreams at night."

"You... a filthy villain, I don't want to argue with you."

"Haha," Su Changzhao laughed happily, "What I said is the truth. Who is in the mood to come and argue with you?"

"..." Cai Xujiang was a little impatient and turned his back.

Su Changzhao stopped fanning himself, looked down at the leaves, put them away one by one, and said slowly, "I am not a patient person, but I am a trustworthy person.

Let's not beat around the bush. I know that going to the imperial study that day was not Lord Cai's original intention.

If Master Cai is willing to reveal the person behind this, I can forgive you for what happened. In addition to letting you go, I can also guarantee that I will not cause trouble for Master Cai and your family in the future."

After saying that, Su Changzhao saw Cai Xujiang's hands on his knees gradually clenched into fists.

This reaction proved that he was moved.

In fact, even if Cai Xujiang didn't say it, Su Changzhao knew who was behind the scenes.

But the key point is that she has evidence for what Cai Xujiang said, and she can fight back with justification.

In fact, after becoming a villain and sitting in this position, she realized that villains do not do things entirely according to their own preferences, and not all things can be done with one knife, so cleanly and neatly.

Many times, all we care about is a name.

She also has to help the dog emperor eliminate more hidden dangers in the court. If she acts too much, she will be attacked by everyone before the later stage. This is just like the local uprisings in history. If she suppresses them too harshly, she will suffer backlash.

So, which of the powerful villains and ministers in history was not good at playing political games?

How many fools are there who can leave their names in history?

They all know what to do and what not to do.

What Su Changzhao has to do now is to complete the task of clearing obstacles for the male protagonist before his role as the villain ends.

Don't rush into things, take your time.

At the same time in the Taiwei Mansion.

"We set up such a big game, even exposed Prince Jin, to make that old bastard Cai Xujiang willing to sacrifice himself and go to the emperor to file a complaint against that eunuch. We didn't expect to be tricked by a sickly guy." Xu Daichou complained.

Lu Xianzong was not as anxious as him, and only asked: "Have you arranged everything for Cai Xujiang?"

Xu Daichou knew that what he was asking was whether Cai Xujiang would give them away.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. Cai Xujiang's beloved youngest son is in our hands. He will definitely not say anything nonsense."

"Um."

"Even though I feel sad and lost a child, I have not shaken that eunuch and sickly person in the slightest."

"Humph," Lu Xianzong sneered, "Who said no?"

Xu Daichou turned his head with a puzzled look on his face: "Please give me your instructions, Mr. Lu." He bowed respectfully.

Lu Xianzong said calmly: "The emperor is incompetent, the six palaces are oblivious, and he is entangled with a eunuch. This reputation... is enough."

Xu Daichou looked at Lu Xianzong's shrewd face and heard his implication that he wanted to make a big fuss about the "entanglement" between Yu Jiuchen and Su Changzhao.

His previous anxiety disappeared immediately, and he approached with a flattering smile: "Does Mr. Lu have a plan? Tell me quickly."

Lu Xianzong glanced at him and turned the ring on his hand: "Since the tyrant and the eunuch are in cahoots with each other and have developed an inappropriate relationship, then we should find a way to sow discord between them. When they fall out, that's when we will take action."

"It's a good idea, but how to sow discord? They don't like women." As soon as Xu Daichou finished speaking, he realized the answer and looked up: "Mr. Lu said... to give them men?"
