So that day she reached a deal with Zhou Shidong and exchanged a pill for the list in his hand.
That night, Xueying brought the news that Zhou Shidong had committed suicide by taking medicine.
But on the second day, Zhou Churou came to her in a panic and told her that a living Zhou Shidong had appeared in the mansion again.
The trend was different from that in her previous life. At that time, she had already vaguely guessed that the Sixth Prince and his faction were planning to use Zhou Shidong to do something.
So she asked Xueying to secretly kill the fake Zhou Shidong and replace Tao Jiang with Wang Yuanli.
She really pulled out a long string of them!
I just don’t know how the old emperor will deal with Shen Qiaoping and Zhao Chengan.
After Sizhu took the order and left, Song Yunxi felt a little regretful. She should have ridden a horse. The carriage was really slow. She was really worried that something might happen at the Shangshu Mansion.
As if seeing through her heart, Ye Xuanqi comforted her softly: "Don't worry, I have ordered people to guard the Shangshu Mansion, and there will be no fish that slip through the net."
Song Yunxi looked at him in shock. When did he arrange this?
Ye Xuanqi did not hide it from her: "I already knew there was something wrong with Zhao Chengan, and I have been secretly investigating him."
So, he was prepared for this, right?
Song Yunxi suddenly felt that the person in front of her was really unfathomable. No wonder her elder brother always said that if Ye Xuanqi really wanted to sit on the throne, no one in the world could stop him.
But Song Yunxi didn't expect that the carriage did not go to the Shangshu Mansion, but to the Prince Chen's Mansion.
Meeting her questioning gaze, Ye Xuanqi explained: "The enemy is in the dark, so you should be cautious when investigating the Wei family."
Although he knew that she was very capable, he still didn't want to put her in danger.
Moreover, I have been secretly keeping an eye on Zhao Cheng'an these days and found that outside the Shangshu Mansion, there are not only Shen Qiaoping and his son's men, but also a group of assassins of unknown origin.
Before identifying these assassins, Song Yunxi must not be exposed.
"I have ordered the secret guards to bring the person here. You can interrogate him in Prince Chen's mansion."
"it is good!"
After giving Song Yunxi blood, Ye Xuanqi changed the term "I" to "I" when speaking to her, but neither of them noticed this change.
In the dungeon of Prince Chen's mansion, Song Yunxi finally met Zhao Yunwei's biological mother, Zhao Cheng'an's only concubine.
When the other party saw Song Yunxi, a hint of doubt flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to calm.
"My aunt actually knows me. It's really not simple."
These concubines rarely leave their homes and have never attended any banquets. They don’t even recognize the daughters of the powerful families in the capital, so how could they recognize her?
She had been trapped in the inner chamber of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion for a year since she returned to the capital, and had only attended a palace banquet recently. How could a concubine recognize her?
Song Yunxi sat down, seemingly not caring at all that her ethereal image was out of place in this dungeon.
"Aunt Lu, please tell me who sent you here and who your superior is."
Aunt Lu's pupils dilated because of the shock in her heart.
She had been in the capital for more than 20 years, and had never revealed any clues even when talking in her sleep. How could Song Yunxi, a girl who had just come of age, know her identity?
Song Yunxi seemed to see the confusion in her heart and said with a smile: "I know much more than you think, so you'd better not lie to me..."
Song Yunxi paused, then opened her red lips and spoke out a name word by word: "Wei, Qiu, Yun."
Aunt Lu's eyes were filled with horror: "I don't know who Wei Qiuyun is."
As long as he doesn't admit it, it will be of no use no matter how much Song Yunxi knows.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say it..."
Song Yunxi stood up and walked slowly towards her: "I have plenty of ways to make you speak."
She pulled out a bottle of medicine from her waist, which she had specially prepared to deal with this situation.
She originally studied poison, so she cannot be kidnapped to harm others with drugs.
Wei Qiuyun sneered, and her eyes, which were filled with fear just now, were now determined and firm: "Don't even think about getting a word from me!"
Song Yunxi spread her hands and said, "That depends on whether you have the ability to keep your mouth shut."
The medicine she prescribed was absolutely foolproof.
When Song Yunxi was about to feed Lu Qiuyun the medicine, Ye Xuanqi stopped her calmly: "There's no need to dirty your hands. There are many ways to make her speak."
As he said this, he winked at An San, who immediately left the dungeon. When he came back, he brought a thin young man with him.
Wei Qiuyun completely lost control when he saw the young man: "Everything I did has nothing to do with him, you can't embarrass him!"
“Nothing is impossible.”
The temperature around Ye Xuanqi suddenly dropped: "I can even send you and your son to the underworld to meet the ancestors of your Wei family right now."
She was not afraid even if Song Yunxi fed her poison and tortured her to the point of wanting to die, but she could not ignore the life of her only son.
Ye Xuanqi didn't know when a jade pendant of ordinary quality appeared in his hand: "Don't expect to be perfunctory. If I can find your son, I can find your whole family."
Wei Qiuyun completely collapsed. The jade pendant was carved for her by her husband himself.
If it wasn't for the family business, why would she separate from her husband and come to the capital, and give herself to a waste like Zhao Cheng'an?
She had no doubt that Ye Xuanqi would wipe out her entire family.
The timid boy also became anxious and urged anxiously: "Mom, please tell me quickly, do you want to watch me and Dad die in front of you?"
Ye Xuanqi threw the last straw at the right time: "You are just a branch of the Wei family, why do you want to destroy your family for the sake of the main family?"
It was already dark when Song Yunxi came out of the dungeon, and she was a little disappointed.
Originally, I thought I could get some clues from Wei Qiuyun, but unexpectedly, she had been lurking in the capital for more than ten years and was still a marginal character. The person she was in contact with was an old maid in the Shangshu Mansion.
When Ye Xuan ordered An San to go and get the person, the old lady had already noticed Feng Sheng and committed suicide by taking poison.
"I went through so much trouble, but ended up with nothing."
It is simply impossible not to be discouraged.
"How come there is nothing?"
Ye Xuanqi said calmly: "The news from the palace is that Shen Qiaoping has been demoted and will no longer be the Duke of Ningguo. In addition, my father has also dismissed him from his cabinet duties. From now on, he is just an idle Marquis of Ning'an."
"As for Zhao Cheng'an, he is still imprisoned in the Dali Temple, but my father has secretly ordered his execution. In this way, Yan Wenjie can naturally take over the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. With his means and abilities, I believe he will be able to purge the Ministry of Revenue soon."
After hearing what he said, Song Yunxi felt as if everything had suddenly become clear.
Shen Qiaoping's departure from the cabinet was a disguised expulsion from the center of government, and the Ministry of Revenue, one of the six ministries, was able to take this opportunity to be thoroughly cleansed and freed from the control of the Shen family.
The loss of the Cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue was more than just a loss of flesh for the Shen family, it was a cruel torture of skinning and pulling out tendons.
