"What should I do with my son's trip to Jiangnan? And my cousin wants to go with him, is there any conspiracy? Could it be that all this was carefully arranged by the Regent?" Jiang Xing thought to himself, constantly recalling the decree he had just received, trying to find some clues from it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't be sure whether his guess was correct.

"Nothing, but I still have to tell you something. I can't guarantee other things, but the regent has always been impartial and fair in handling court affairs. He will never give special care to anyone or deliberately make things difficult for anyone because of personal feelings. So you can rest assured that he will never do anything that undermines fairness and justice."

"But having said that, you must not take it lightly when you go to Jiangnan this time. After all, you are unfamiliar with the place and the situation is complicated. You may fall into danger if you are not careful. Therefore, you must pay attention everywhere and be doubly cautious in everything! Especially Ci'er, she has never left the capital, so she needs to pay extra attention to safety on this long journey. I hope you can arrive in Jiangnan safely and return successfully after completing your mission."

Master Jiang deeply admired the talents that the Regent had shown in the court. The Regent was still young, but he had already made many military achievements and was well-known. Back then, when Ying'er insisted on following the Regent, it was because of his outstanding ability that he readily agreed. After all, it was rare to see someone as young, promising, wise and brave as the Regent. And Ying'er also firmly believed that only by following such a wise leader could he achieve something and realize his ambitions.

"Yes, father. I understand!" Jiang Xing said!

"You two should get up and take better care of your sister in the future. She is a girl with little experience in society, and people outside are too complicated to be deceived easily." Master Jiang was still a little worried.

"Yes, father." The two brothers nodded.

"Bu'er, arrange some more people to go to Li'er's courtyard. It would be best if they are good at martial arts!" Master Jiang became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. Does their delicate girl need someone else to protect her?

There was panic in the Qin family mansion, and everyone looked shocked.

"How could the master be thrown into the prison?" After hearing this, Mrs. Qin's body trembled violently, her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and she almost fainted. Fortunately, Qin Ziyi, who was beside her, was quick to reach out and support her.

"Mother! Mother, wake up!" Qin Ziyi called out anxiously, her eyes full of worry and fear. She held Madam Qin's hand tightly, trying to give her some strength and comfort.

Seeing that Mrs. Qin's condition had stabilized, Qin Ziyi immediately turned around and shouted to the servants around her: "What are you still standing there for? Go get the doctor!"

The servants sprang into action as if awakened from a dream, and hurried out of the room to find a doctor.

Madam Qin came back to her senses a little, and asked Qin Ziyi in a trembling voice: "Yier, what is going on? Where is the imperial concubine? What did she say?"

Qin Ziyi frowned, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked up and replied: "Mother, my aunt is no longer a noble concubine... because she was disrespectful when she went to the emperor to plead for mercy, she was demoted to a noble lady..."

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Mrs. Qin. She stared at Qin Ziyi with wide eyes, looking at her in disbelief, as if she couldn't accept this fact. She had originally hoped that Concubine Qin in the palace could help rescue the master, but she didn't expect such a change to happen. For a moment, Mrs. Qin felt confused and at a loss.

"Where is your brother? Ask him to go to your maternal grandparents' house and find out from your uncle why your father was thrown into jail?" Mrs. Qin said with a worried and pale face.

"Brother, brother... he hasn't come back yet!" Qin Ziyi was furious when she mentioned her disappointing brother. This brother would either go to the brothel to have fun with the courtesan, or eat and drink with the playboys.

"Go quickly! Move quickly and find your brother and bring him home. What will happen if there is no man to support the family?" Mrs. Qin did not realize that there was anything wrong with her words.

Qin Ziyi did not make any rebuttal when she heard her mother's words, because she knew very well that no matter what she said, her mother would always favor her eldest brother more.

"Mother, don't worry. I have sent someone to look for my brother, and I have also sent a servant to deliver a letter to my uncle's house." Qin Ziyi knew that it was unreliable to rely on her brother, so she had made corresponding arrangements early on. Although she always looked weak and delicate in front of Mu Yang, she was able to stand on her own after returning to the Qin Mansion. She was considered a very self-reliant woman!

"Okay, okay, my son has made very good arrangements. What about the palace? What does the queen say?" Madam Qin frowned and asked worriedly. She thought to herself, what should I do? When she thought of Concubine Qin, Madam Qin felt a headache.

The Qin family originally hoped that Qin Yue could find a way to rescue Qin Huai from the predicament, but who could have expected that at such a critical moment, Concubine Qin would be disrespectful in front of the emperor and be demoted. This undoubtedly brought huge variables and difficulties to the Qin family's plan.

Mrs. Qin couldn't help but worry. She knew that the power struggles in the palace were complicated and changeable. If she was not careful, she might fall into an irreversible situation. Now that Concubine Qin had lost the emperor's favor, it would be even more difficult for her to fight for Qin Huai's chance. However, at this point, they could only face reality and find other feasible ways!
