Chapter 676 Preparation
Jiang Ci and Yan Shu left the imperial city safely. Wei Zhao had been waiting outside the imperial city early. When he saw Jiang Ci and Yan Shu come out safely, he immediately jumped off the carriage and walked forward.
"Where did you hide last night? Even the Shadow Guards couldn't find you. I was worried the whole night."
Jiang Ci said: "Let's go back first."
"it is good!"
Wei Zhao glanced at Yan Shu beside Jiang Ci. He remembered that she was poisoned by Xiaoyao Powder when she left last night. Now it seems that she has been detoxified. His gossipy eyes shuttled back and forth between the two people. Jiang Ci glared back at him coldly. He just touched his nose in boredom and followed the two people.
Half an hour later, the three of them returned to Hongyue Tower together.
Jiang Ci asked: "What was the situation at Taihua Palace after we left last night?"
Wei Zhao sat on the chair with a smile on his face, picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Since he likes to drug people, I'll let him have a taste of ecstasy."
Yan Shu asked, "Where is Su Qingqing?"
Wei Zhao: "Oh, I locked them both in the main hall and drugged Su Qingqing. With the help of Xiaoyao Powder, you can imagine what the result will be. Su Qingqing is Ye Lanxuan's concubine after all. She had a night of love with His Majesty and was caught in bed by the Queen and Ye Lanxuan. Ye Lanxuan wanted to kill her with a sword in a rage last night, but His Majesty saved her life in the end. However, it would be bad to spread the incest between father-in-law and daughter-in-law. His Majesty doesn't really like her, and he may have spared her life because he thinks she can still be useful. However, the Su family announced this morning that from now on, the Su Mansion will have nothing to do with Su Qingqing."
After hearing about Su Qingqing's ending, Yan Shu felt much better. Evildoers will be punished by God. Su Qingqing has evil intentions and has lost the halo of the heroine. Her ending in this life is destined not to be as bright as in the original book.
Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci and said, "You broke into Taihua Palace yesterday and your identities have been exposed. The old emperor will surely make trouble for this matter. Have you thought of a plan to deal with it?"
"The situation in the capital is chaotic now and he doesn't dare to do anything to me openly, so he came up with what he did yesterday. At most, he is just using some shady tactics."
Yan Shu was still worried: "You should pay more attention to your safety. I think the old emperor will use any despicable means. It is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark."
Jiang Ci nodded and said, "Don't go to the palace again recently. There will be chaos in the capital on the day of the Sixth Prince and Wei Yang's wedding. Let Elder Cui make preparations early."
Yan Shu said: "I am worried that the eleventh prince will be in danger."
"I'll make arrangements over there and won't let anything happen to him."
Yan Shu felt relieved after getting Jiang Ci's promise. That child was a poor guy. If she didn't go to the palace in the future, she would not be able to help him cover up the blood drawing. If she really had to let the imperial physician draw his heart blood, the child's body would not last long.
Thinking of this, Yan Shu hated the old emperor more and more. It would be a disaster for the Sui Dynasty if such a person with evil intentions, selfishness and narrow-mindedness became emperor. Only by completely overthrowing his tyranny could peace and tranquility be restored to the world.

After a short rest in Hongyue Tower, Jiang Ci changed into his official uniform and prepared to report to the Hanlin Academy. Yan Shu was also about to return to the Cui family. With such a big commotion yesterday, Old Cui and his second brother must be very worried.
Arriving in front of the carriage, Jiang Ci reluctantly held Yan Shu's hand and leaned over to whisper in her ear: "Go back and have a good rest. If you feel uncomfortable, take some medicine."
Yan Shu's face turned red and he glared at Jiang Ci with a warning.
Jiang Ci chuckled twice and raised his hand to pinch her delicate cheek.
"You are all mine now. Jiaojiao, don't be shy in front of me. We will have many opportunities to meet each other in the future."
In broad daylight, he...what kind of vicious words is he saying?
Yan Shu glanced at Ying Si and Wei Zhao who were approaching, and quickly pulled his hand back.
"I'm leaving!"
Without waiting for Jiang Ci to speak, Yan Shu turned around and stepped on the stool to get on the carriage.
"master!"
Ying Si walked up to Jiang Ci.
"You will stay near Cui's house for the next few days and protect her and the people in Cui's house."
"Yes!"
Ying Si drove the carriage himself, followed by several shadow guards, and together they escorted Yan Shu back to the Cui family.
Wei Zhao glanced at Jiang Ci and suddenly noticed a faint red mark under Jiang Ci's collar. He smiled and teased, "Is something good coming?"
Jiang Ci retracted his gaze: "Wait until everything is settled."
After he has cleared all obstacles, he will definitely marry his little fox in a grand manner.

When Yan Shu returned to the Cui family, Old Man Cui hurried out to greet him. The old man had dark eyes and looked tired, obviously he did not sleep well last night.
"Finally you are back safely. Did His Majesty embarrass you yesterday?"
Yan Shu helped Mr. Cui into the main hall and told him in detail what had happened in Taihua Palace yesterday.
Upon learning that the old emperor had such dirty thoughts, Cui Lao was so angry that he slapped the coffee table beside him.
"You are old and still thinking about young and beautiful girls? It's really disrespectful and shameless! You don't have to worry. As long as I don't agree, even the emperor can't do anything to us. Jiang Ci will not sit idly by."
Yan Shu nodded: "The old emperor's plan was exposed yesterday. I'm sure he won't summon me again for the time being. Besides, the things going on in the palace are enough to give him a headache."
"Are you talking about what happened between him and Concubine Su last night?"
Yan Shu looked at Mr. Cui and said, "Have you heard about this, too?"
I originally thought that since it was a royal scandal, the matter would be kept strictly confidential. But the fact that it spread so quickly was probably due to the involvement of Jiang Ci and Wei Zhao.
Elder Cui chuckled twice, "The Cui family's current fortune is not just due to luck. Such a scandal will inevitably cause the father and son to be alienated. I'm sure there will be a bloody storm in the imperial city on the day of the Sixth Prince's wedding."
Yan Shu fell into deep thought. From what Jiang Ci said, the old emperor pretended to support Jiang Qiuchi to fight against the Zhao family, but the heir to the throne in his heart was most satisfied with Ye Lanxuan, so even though he knew that Jiang Qiuchi was a fake, he still praised him to the sky, making all the ministers think that the old emperor's favorite candidate for the crown prince was the seventh prince.
The old emperor's purpose must have been to eliminate the power of the Zhao family before appointing a crown prince, in order to prevent his most beloved son from raising another in-law like the Feng family after he came to power. But this time he had an affair with Su Qingqing due to taking Xiaoyao Powder, and a green grassland grew on Ye Lanxuan's head. The person who cuckolded him was his own father. I believe he was so aggrieved and ashamed that he wanted to kill Su Qingqing and the dog emperor, right?
The father and son are estranged, and as long as someone secretly adds fuel to the fire, it is only a matter of time before they become enemies.
"Grandfather, Jiang Ci also meant this. He asked us to prepare early."
