Just now, after He Yunxiao massaged Jiang Wuyou's shoulders, Yang Qi caught him red-handed. Using his keen sense of smell, Yang Qi immediately sent Qian Yuan to the Ministry of Rites to invite Li Jin, the young master of the Li family, to come over.
Since the Prime Minister and the Eldest Princess were involved, Qian Yuan dared not delay and rushed back to the Li residence as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Li Jin was studying in his study.
On the left are masterpieces by great Confucian scholars, on the right are poems from various schools of thought, and in the middle is the law of the Great Qi Dynasty.
Then he secretly played Go under the book.
Knock knock knock.
"Young Master!"
Li Jin was so startled that his hand trembled, scattering several chess pieces. Without bothering to put them back in their place, he quickly covered the chessboard with a book, then feigned composure and said, "Who is it! This young master is studying!"
"Young master, it's me, Qian Yuan!"
"Oh! It's Qian Yuan!"
Li Jin beamed and got up to open the door for Qian Yuan.
"Hey, it's Brother Qian. I thought it was my father."
If He Yunxiao heard this, he would definitely try to take advantage of Li Jin. But Qian Yuan, being a retainer, didn't dare to even think about it.
Li Jin led Qian Yuan into the house, and proudly removed the book he had been hiding in front of Qian Yuan, revealing a half-finished chess game.
"How about two plates?"
Qian Yuan had no such intentions whatsoever.
"Young Master, it's He Yunxiao!"
"Oh, that one is quite handsome."
"He Yunxiao, Jiang Wuyou!"
"Jiang Wuyou? Oh, the one who dances."
Seeing that Qian Yuan had no intention of playing chess, Li Jin had no choice but to sit down and start deducing the moves again.
"Young master, He Yunxiao actually condescended to massage Jiang Wuyou's shoulders."
"Huh?" Li Jin was surprised for a moment, then said matter-of-factly, "Isn't He Yunxiao just like that? It would be strange if he massaged a man's shoulders."
"Young Master, Yang Qi told me that things are not peaceful in the court lately, and the Eldest Princess and Prime Minister Han are fighting fiercely. This is an opportunity!"
Li Jin looked bewildered. "My aunt and Prime Minister Han? What opportunity?"
"An opportunity to suppress Prime Minister Han!"
How to suppress them?
“He Yunxiao’s father, He Yuanhao, is a Grand General of our dynasty. If the Princess can seize the opportunity of He Yunxiao’s mistake and use it as an excuse to weaken He Yuanhao’s position in the army or his connection with Prime Minister Han, it will greatly reduce the Prime Minister’s power in the army.”
Li Jin stroked his chin and said with great conviction, "What you said seems to make a lot of sense."
Qian Yuan pressed his advantage, continuing to make empty promises.
"Catching He Yunxiao in the act would be a great achievement! Everyone in Chunfeng Tower witnessed what He Yunxiao did. Moreover, Brother Yang Qi and Brother Shen Kuan were both present, so there's no shortage of witnesses. As long as Brother Li goes to Chunfeng Tower to confront He Yunxiao, the great achievements of upholding moral principles, rectifying evil practices, and suppressing the Prime Minister will all belong to you, young master."
Li Jin slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "My father and aunt always think I'm stupid. Now that such a great achievement is right in front of me, I'd really be a fool if I didn't seize it!"
"Let's go!" Li Jin urged immediately, then took out a token and said, "Brother Qian, take this token to find Commander Yang of the Imperial Guards."
"Commander Yang?"
"Yang Zhe! He's my aunt's confidant, and he's the one who looks down on me the most. Go find him and tell him to come to Chunfeng Tower to witness my righteous spirit!"
...
Jiang Wuyou naturally disagreed with He Yunxiao going to fight Chu Fan.
A seventh-rank fighter has to give the ninth-rank three moves to the ninth-rank fighter?
If Chu Fan had been serious, he could have defeated He Yunxiao in one move.
But how could He Yunxiao let the kind-hearted Sister Jiang ruin his grand plan? So he could only coax her and say, "Sister, don't worry. I'm already at the eighth rank. I can easily exchange a few blows with Chu Fan, who is at the ninth rank."
Jiang Wuyou was still worried, so she pulled He Yunxiao's sleeve and saw him to the bottom of the stairs leading down from the viewing platform.
Looking at Sister Jiang, who resembled a timid young wife, He Yunxiao felt quite helpless.
I can't exactly say that Chu Xiaoxiao and I conspired together, can I?
So he had to plead and beg until he finally got Jiang Wuyou to let go.
"Don't worry, sister, I'll be right back."
Jiang Wuyou no longer had the usual imposing manner when reprimanding He Yunxiao. She simply said quietly, "If you can't beat them, admit defeat. If you try to be stubborn, I won't let you off the hook."
Watching He Yunxiao descend the stairs, Jiang Wuyou spoke silently to the martial artist Ya Hu, who was standing beside him on the stairs, saying, "He Yuanhao's son is extremely important to our Great Yan. Even if you reveal your strength, you cannot let anything happen to him."
Ya Hu looked at He Yunxiao with suspicion, thinking: He Yuanhao himself probably doesn't even want such a playboy, so what use is he to our Great Yan?
However, his excellent qualities as a secret agent prevented him from questioning his superior's decision.
His job is to execute the mission perfectly.
"Understood."
After He Yunxiao went downstairs, he walked straight to Chu Fan's table.
Chu Fan's place was originally remote, but after he displayed his martial arts talent, a group of people gathered around him, each trying to find topics to chat and laugh with him.
Chu Fan was naturally not good at talking and had a slightly introverted and dull personality, which was the exact opposite of He Yunxiao, who suffered from social arrogance.
However, Yang Qi and the others managed to find topics to talk about, which actually made the whole scene seem quite harmonious.
He Yunxiao noticed that Chu Xiaoxiao continued to maintain her cute little sister persona, sitting quietly next to Chu Fan with her eyes sparkling as she looked at him.
However, only He Yunxiao noticed that her right hand was half-tucked into her sleeve, cleverly concealing the teeth marks she had just made under her thumb.
Looking at Chu Xiaoxiao's incredibly obedient appearance, He Yunxiao silently marveled at how awesome the author of "Girl, I Just Want to Cultivate" was!
A well-behaved girl in public, a ruthless devil in private.
