Little boy Xin Yan and little boy Master Liao are teasing the wild rabbit given by the villagers at the gate of Ning's compound.

When I looked up, I saw a young man dressed as a playboy showing his courtesy to my aunt.

Xin Yan immediately became alert, wondering if this man was trying to kidnap the Fairy Aunt.

Seeing his uncle Xin Che still standing there like a log, Xin Yan immediately walked over and said to Li Sicong, "Uncle, we don't want to buy roast chicken and snacks."

"My aunt just ate the roast chicken her husband gave her and is now very full. Go sell it somewhere else!"

Jiang Lili couldn't help laughing when she saw Xin Yan's angry look.

Li Sicong thought that the child with his hands on his hips in front of him was very interesting. Just when he was thinking of teasing the child, he suddenly saw the little kid next to Xin Yan and was startled!

Those iconic protruding ears and receding nose, and that person's calm demeanor, could it be that he was his good friend and roommate in the upper bunk bed in his high school dormitory, Liao Ji, Master Liao!

Li Sicong was heartbroken: "King Jiji, how did you become a child!!!"

Li Sicong and several of his roommates in his high school dormitory were the most conspicuous in the class. They were deducted points every day for talking, playing poker, and turning off the lights at night, so the class teacher called their dormitory the Monkey's Nest.

The calmest dormitory head, Liao Ji, was nicknamed "King Jiji" by this group of monkeys.

Li Sicong casually stuffed the snacks and roast chicken to Jiang Lili, bent down in disbelief to pick up Liao Ji, and checked the little kid over and over again.

Seeing Li Sicong calling a one and a half year old child "King", Xin Yan shook his head in confusion. This uncle's mental state was a little abnormal. He said to Jiang Lili: "Auntie, don't eat what he gives you."

Jiang Lili smiled: "Don't worry, Auntie is just discussing with him the preparations after arriving in Linzhou. We have to cross the dangerous Qinglin Mountains, so it is important to find a local to ask."

Xin Yan suddenly realized what was going on. He scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "So that's how it is."

Xin Che picked up Xin Yan and said with a curved lip, "Don't worry about the kid."

Jiang Lili and Li Sicong squatted down and chatted with Master Liao. The three of them whispered to each other, just like the aunties gossiping at the village entrance.

Li Sicong: "My father has asthma and relies heavily on Chinese medicine. However, you know, sometimes when you are away from home, you don't always have a doctor or medicine with you."

Jiang Lili immediately thought of modern asthma medicine, the portable spray.

Li Sicong's eyes sparkled: "I have a plan that will make my father willingly send someone to escort you across the Qinglin Mountains."

Liao Ji put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Tell me about it!"

Li Sicong conspired quietly: "When you arrive at the Linzhou City government office to take over, we will do this first... and then this..."

Jiang Lili clapped her hands after listening to it: "This is possible!"

Liao Ji nodded slightly to show his approval.

After the trio finished their discussion, Jiang Lili's legs were sore from squatting when she stood up.

"That's it. I'll take these human traffickers back to Linzhou to report. Then we'll meet up as agreed."

At present, the yamen runners need to rest for a day due to the cold, and the others are still in shock after being knocked unconscious and packed up last night. They all agree to set out the next morning.

Li Sicong had conveyed his message. After saying goodbye to Jiang Lili and Liao Ji, he went with the officials to interrogate Yuan and his group.

After Li Sicong left, Jiang Lili saw the message sent to her by the deputy monitor and her face became solemn.

[@Deputy monitor: Concubine Ying doesn’t trust me very much. She has no appetite these days and doesn’t eat or drink. She also has an old illness. Her attending physician, Doctor Duan, has also cut ties with her.]

This won't do. Jiang Lili has to think of a way to give Xin Yingshu a chance to live.

Jiang Lili thought so, went into the courtyard to find Xin Che and said, "Li Sicong brought me a message about Concubine Ying."

Xin Che's face turned serious when he heard this: "What happened to aunt?"

He had just received the latest intelligence from Cheng Jiayu a few days ago, and he didn't expect that the situation in the palace would change so quickly.

Jiang Lili: "Emperor Qingning banished her to the cold palace, and the imperial physician refused to treat her."

Xin Che clenched his fists, a layer of frost on his face: "Emperor Qingning really has a heart of stone."

Jiang Lili also hated Emperor Qingning, this scumbag and ungrateful man.

She sighed and said, "The most important thing now is that Imperial Concubine Ying can't get any news from us and feels that the Marquis Zhaoping's mansion is in danger. She has no motivation to live anymore."

Jiang Lili changed the subject: "However, Li Sicong has a way to pass the message to the palace."

Xin Che's pupils dilated. The eldest son of the Linzhou prefect had been ill for less than half a month, yet he had such ability?

But when Xin Che thought about what Jiang Lili said, Li Sicong was also arranged by his grandfather, he understood a little more.

Jiang Lili elaborated on the intelligence handed over by the deputy squad leader: "Emperor Qingning also found out that the Yang family's embezzlement of disaster relief funds was related to the Zhaoping Marquis' Mansion."

"The whereabouts of the 300,000 taels of stolen money is still unknown. Emperor Qingning suspects that the Zhaoping Marquisate used it to raise private soldiers and hide armor."

Xin Che was very surprised that Jiang Lili knew so much about even the smallest details. Apart from being a scholar, how powerful was Jiang Lili's grandfather Min Xunli?

"I already know about this, but I haven't told my father and mother yet. I have been observing the Yang family all the way."

"They are just pawns. They may not even know that their greed has been used. But the Ministry of Revenue may be playing the pig to eat the tiger."

Jiang Lili certainly couldn't say that now even the emperor's personal eunuchs were her connections. She frowned and said, "It's clear that the conspiracy was framed by someone. Now even the Yang family's corruption case from two years ago is related to us."

"You and I both know who is behind this. It's not easy to prove your innocence, but it doesn't mean it's impossible. There are always clues."

Xin Che said in a deep voice: "But right now my troops are scattered and I can hardly protect myself, and there is no one in the capital to support me."

This was the first time that Xin Che revealed the situation of his forces to Jiang Lili. Jiang Lili was quite surprised. Did this mean that Xin Che began to trust her?

Jiang Lili thought for a moment and said, "Why not ask Auntie to keep calm in the palace and be the fulcrum for us to overturn the case, so that she will have the motivation to live well?"

"Okay, I'll go prepare the token to give to my aunt."

Xin Che remembered that there were pens, ink, paper and inkstone in the Ning family's accounting office, so he immediately started preparing them.

Jiang Lili felt that her body was still too weak and she needed to improve her physical fitness, so after digesting the food, she exercised in the Ning family compound.

Jiang Lili had done a lot of part-time jobs in the past, and in order to improve her physical fitness and energy, she had done a lot of research on sports and fitness, so she started exercising according to the physical fitness classes she had studied before.

Chen was very curious when she saw Jiang Lili running and jumping in the yard. After hearing Jiang Lili say that she wanted to keep fit for the upcoming journey, she decided to join Jiang Lili.

The virus gradually spread from person to person between the two people who were exercising, and Yin Zhen also brought Liao Dabao to join the exercise group.

"Drip drip drip."

While Jiang Lili was taking a break and drinking some water, the group message rang.

Jiang Lili took a look and saw that it was Hou Xiaoxiao who posted three selfies in the group.

【@侯潇潇(王妃):Family, the Queen Mother has specially invited me to the palace tomorrow to drink tea and appreciate flowers. Which outfit should I wear? (Sunglasses)】
