As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the Dali Temple looked as if they had eaten shit.

However, they had no way to refute Su Qingwan's words.

Because everyone knew that the emperor had bestowed a lot of things on the Yan Mansion before, many of which were his own private possessions.

Moreover, before he became a prince, Yan Mingjue was already rich enough to rival a country, and his home was filled with countless rare and precious treasures.

The Dali Temple Minister knew that what Su Qingwan cared about was not these things, but to prevent them from doing anything.

I’m afraid it won’t work today.

They thought that since Yan Mingjue was temporarily under custody, this was the best opportunity. However, who knew that his princess was not a pushover either, and her words stopped them completely.

He could only wave his hand and ask the people below to search. With Jingzhe's people following them, they couldn't do anything even if they wanted to.

In the end, of course, there was no result.

However, he was still unwilling to leave like this. Suddenly he thought of something and looked towards Su Qingwan.

"I heard that the princess has a lot of people under her."

Su Qingwan raised her eyes and glanced at him.

"This princess has a large dowry, and I'm lucky. The business of the shop is pretty good, so naturally I have to hire more people to take care of it."

"What? Is this against the law?"

The Dali Temple Minister's face turned cold. She knew that this was not what she meant, but she insisted on saying it.

He said coldly:

"Princess, sometimes having too many subordinates is not a good thing."

"Who knows what kind of trouble will arise."

Su Qingwan twitched the corner of her mouth slightly when she heard this.

"Don't worry about that, sir. Please."

The Dali Temple Chief Justice snorted coldly and could only leave with his men.

Jingzhe and others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, but Su Qingwan's expression became heavy instead.

"Miao Hua, go clean up our people."

The words of the Dali Temple Minister just now reminded her.

Emperor Xuanwu was assassinated, and we still haven't found out when those people went into hiding. If they were her people, that would be a problem.

"Miss, I will go right away."

Miao Hua realized the seriousness of the matter and hurried down to deal with it.

On the other side, although Yan Mingjue was detained, he was still well-informed, and the news was told to him by Emperor Xuanwu himself.

Upon learning that people from the Dali Temple had taken people to the palace, Yan Mingjue did not look nervous at all.

"You're not worried at all."

Yan Mingjue looked calm.

"It'll be okay."

Emperor Xuanwu didn't quite believe it. He detained Yan Mingjue on impulse. He wanted to use this incident to find out how many evil spirits were behind it.

Even Yan Mingjue himself did not expect this matter. Su Qingwan was a woman and when she knew that he was detained, she must have been in a panic. How could she be fine?

Seeing that he didn't believe him, Yan Mingjue was about to speak, but suddenly he remembered something and raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty, would you like to make a bet with me?"

Emperor Xuanwu became interested when he heard this. For all these years, no one dared to say such words to him.

"What are you gambling?"

"Let's bet on whether the people from Dali Temple will return empty-handed."

Yan Mingjue replied.

Emperor Xuanwu thought for a moment and nodded:

"What's the stakes?"

"If I win, Your Majesty, don't even think about giving me women."

Yan Mingjue spoke calmly.

Emperor Xuanwu glanced at him upon hearing this. So he was waiting for him here?

He did not say whether he agreed or not, but only asked:

"What if you lose?"

"Then, whatever the emperor says is what it is."

Yan Mingjue spoke.

Emperor Xuanwu couldn't help but say:

"Do you trust her so much?"

Yan Mingjue just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing his determined look, Emperor Xuanwu also became interested.

"Okay, if you win, I won't ask you to take a concubine again within two years."

"If you lose, you can call me Father, how about that?"

Yan Mingjue glanced at him and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, you are doomed to fail!"
