The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

In the imperial study, you can hear a pin drop.

Jiang Suining and Lu Yan both looked surprised, as if they had not expected Emperor Xiao to mention this directly.

The eunuch next to him was also surprised, but soon lowered his head.

After a brief silence, Jiang Suining spoke first: "Your Majesty is right, we do have this suspicion, but because we have no evidence, we have not reported it to the emperor for the time being."

"Your Majesty, I heard that Prince Su was involved in the investigation of the missing woman's case. Although nothing was found out in the end, there were indeed suspicious points. Now Prince Su wants to collect the woman's birth date and horoscope. This is really not right. I hope Your Majesty can see clearly." Lu Yan said while kneeling.

Since the emperor has already mentioned this matter on his own initiative, there is nothing to hide.

Emperor Xiao's gaze shifted from Jiang Suining to Lu Yan. After a brief pause, he looked back at Jiang Suining, "I think this is what you want to say."

"Your Majesty, that's right. I also suspect that this incident is related to the previous case of the missing woman."

"Okay." Emperor Xiao sighed, "Since you have any doubts, then check it out."

Jiang Suining and Lu Yan both looked at Emperor Xiao, but before they could speak, Emperor Xiao continued, "But this matter involves a lot of people. Before we find solid evidence, we must not make it public, let alone let everyone know about it. Otherwise, it will inevitably affect the stability of the imperial city."

Jiang Suining looked at Emperor Xiao with understanding, "So the emperor summoned us in because he wants us to investigate this matter secretly?"

"Yes, since you have doubts, and you were previously in charge of the Women's Academy, I will allow you to investigate the matter secretly. Once you find out the results, report to me immediately."

"Why doesn't the emperor let Lord Pei investigate the case secretly?" Lu Yan asked.

"Pei Zhaozhi is indeed good at investigating cases, but he has a stubborn personality and sometimes doesn't know how to adapt. If this matter is handed over to him, I'm afraid there will be trouble. What's more, he is in charge of the Ministry of Justice after all. If he investigates the case, it is inevitable that he will have too much contact with the Women's Academy. The emperor's uncle must be alert." Emperor Xiao sighed again, showing some helplessness. "After all, the emperor's uncle is my elder. Before the truth is confirmed, I don't want to cause any unpleasantness between me and the emperor's uncle. Do you understand this?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand." Jiang Suining nodded.

Lu Yan followed suit and said, "I understand."

"Good." Emperor Xiao looked at the two with satisfaction. "Then from now on, you will be responsible for this matter. Remember, no matter what you find out, you are not allowed to leak it to the outside world without my order. Otherwise... you will be charged with disobeying my order."

"Yes, I will obey your orders."

Jiang Suining and Lu Yan spoke in unison.

Exited the imperial study room.

Jiang Suining and Lu Yan walked towards the outside of the palace together.

Although Emperor Xiao asked them to investigate the case secretly, he also gave them some manpower. This would make it much easier for them to keep an eye on Prince Su or do other investigations.

but……

Both of them have clear minds.

"I'm afraid the people sent by the emperor are not only to facilitate our investigation, but also to keep an eye on our every move to prevent us from leaking any information." Lu Yan said in a low voice.

Seeing Lu Yan's unhappy expression, Jiang Suining said, "Are you worried that even if we really find out the truth and prove that Prince Su is related to the woman's disappearance, the emperor will not publicly punish Prince Su?"

"Looking at the emperor's attitude just now, I think it's very likely."

Although such speculation is disrespectful, the matter is of such great importance that if the emperor were to stand from the perspective of the royal family, he would most likely make such a choice.

Thinking of this, the expression on Lu Yan's face became even uglier.

But when she looked at Jiang Suining, she found that the other person's face did not show the same worry as hers, but instead had a hint of smile on it.

"Sui Ning, aren't you worried?"

"Of course I'm worried." Jiang Suining said.

"Then why are you still laughing?" Lu Yan was puzzled.

"Think about our purpose and ideas before entering the palace today. Don't you think that the current result has far exceeded our initial expectations?"

Lu Yan thought about it and said, "That's right."

When they first came here, they didn't actually expect the emperor to actually order an investigation into the matter. They just wanted to make the matter public so that Prince Su would be wary.

However, the emperor took the initiative to mention the case of the missing woman and gave them the power to investigate. Thinking about it this way, it really exceeded their initial expectations.

"So don't worry too much. We can't be sure what the emperor will choose, but we can find out the truth first. As for what happens next..."

A faint light flashed across Jiang Suining's eyes, hiding many things that he couldn't express for the time being.

"As for what happens next, it may not be the bad result we imagined." She suppressed the expression in her eyes and continued to say what she had not finished.

Lu Yan knew that what Jiang Suining said made sense. After thinking about it for a while, she figured it out and stopped worrying about it.

The two returned to the girls' academy and divided the personnel assigned to them by Emperor Xiao into three groups.

Yi Bo stared at Prince Su, closely watching his every move.

Yi Bo hides in the dark, protecting the safety of the girls' college at all times.

There are also a few people who are on standby at all times in case of emergency.

After making all these arrangements, Jiang Suining received news that Jiang Mushi had been released back to the Jiang family and the poison in his body had been removed.

When she returned to the Jiang family, Jiang Mushi woke up.

The appeasement reward from Emperor Xiao has also arrived.

Only after hearing Jiang Suining's confirmation that the matter had indeed been resolved did Jiang Zhitong and Zheng feel completely relieved.

"It's good that it's been resolved, it's good that it's been resolved. It can be considered that our Jiang Jiafu is lucky." Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Zhitong also said: "Yes, fortunately, Prince Su did not do things too drastically."

Jiang Suining and Wei Yao looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.

Jiang Mushi had just woken up and was still a little weak. He was leaning on the bed and noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere between Jiang Suining and Wei Yao. He persuaded Jiang Zhitong and Zheng to go back and rest first.

Jiang Zhitong was still a little worried at first and wanted to give a few more instructions, but Zheng noticed something was wrong and pulled him away.

There were only three people left in the room. When Jiang Suining was about to leave, Jiang Mushi called her.

"Sister, has something happened?"
