Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

Fu Siya finally had some hope. The cook would make various kinds of snacks every day.

Until one day, after Wei Muyu went to court, the maid brought snacks again, "Madam, this is the glutinous rice cake made by the cook, please try it. I heard that she put a lot of thought into it and got up early in the morning to make it."

Fu Siya seemed to have heard the deep meaning of these words. The glutinous rice balls smelled very sweet and were shaped like various small animals. After taking a bite, they were soft and delicious.

Until she discovered that after biting off the skin, she could vaguely see what seemed to be some words in the dessert.

Fu Siya said in silence, "This cake is very delicious. Please bring it to my room for me. I will get up and taste it after I have a short rest."

After hiding in the room, she took out a hidden piece of cake, peeled off the skin, and carefully checked the tiny words on the inner layer. It took a lot of effort to achieve such a craft. There were only two words on the inner layer: "fake death".

Fu Siya looked at these two words and fell into deep thought.

Just as her thoughts were drifting away, she soon heard some noise coming from outside. Her intuition told her that it must be Wei Muyu coming back.

She quickly stuffed the pastry into her mouth and swallowed it so that no one could discover the secret.

Then he straightened his clothes, pretended to smile and greeted him as if nothing had happened, "Sir, you are back."

Wei Muyu glanced at her. This woman seemed very well-behaved recently, which was very unlike her personality. Perhaps she was really tamed by him.

He opened his thin lips, his fingertips were slightly cool, and gently lifted her chin, his eyes were deep and complicated: "As long as you stay so well-behaved, I will treat you well."

Fu Siya immediately helped him take off his court robes, changed into everyday clothes, and massaged his shoulders with moderate strength. Everything was so skillful and natural.

However, deep down in Fu Siya's heart, she already had countless urges to strangle this man to death.

She stared at his neck. If she had a knife in her hand, she would definitely want to cut his neck.

But she knew that she was no match for him. There was a huge gap in strength between her and Wei Muyu. Any rash action would only lead to her own destruction.

Perhaps noticing the wandering look in her eyes, Wei Muyu pulled her into his arms.

He lightly picked up the wine jug, his gesture revealing an irresistible determination, and poured it into her slightly opened lips.

The strong breath instantly exploded in her mouth, so spicy that Fu Siya choked and coughed repeatedly. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and the crisp cough echoed in the quiet room: "Ahem... What is the purpose of your action, sir? Cai Ling asked herself if she dared to do anything disobedient."

"Get you drunk and make you accompany me like before."

Fu Siya resisted, "But now, it's still daytime."

"This is my house. I don't care what others think of me, and I don't care what others think of me."

Wei Muyu pushed her to the ground and stroked her face which was similar to Cai Ling's. "If it weren't for the fact that you look like her, you would have died millions of times already."

Fu Siya could only endure the grievance and satisfy all the other party's demands like a prostitute.

But those two words kept lingering in her mind... fake death. She had to find a way to fake her death and escape from this place.

……

The Wei Mansion was heavily guarded, but it was not completely impossible to convey messages.

Jiang Nianwei came up with this idea. There is a modern snack called glutinous rice paper. You can make glutinous rice into paper, write words on it, and wrap it inside the paper. It will not affect the taste and will not be discovered by others.

This time, she just tried to write two words, but she would ask the cook to pass on more messages later.

And faking her death shouldn't be a difficult thing. After all, she had devoted herself to studying many herbs, which included not only medicines that could heal the body, but also various poisons.

The materials for making fake death drugs were extremely expensive, but her space had everything, and after searching for a while, it didn't seem very difficult.

Jiang Nianwei tried to make a fake death drug according to the recipe recorded in the book.

The only difficulty now is how to pass it to Fu Siya and how to let her leave Wei Mansion. These still need to be considered in the long run.

But in order to let Siya have no worries, she has sent people to look for the brothel girl named Cai Ling, so that Wei Muyu can't forget her. But why, Wei Muyu didn't look for the real person, but had to find a substitute?

This kind of man is always shameful and disgusting. In her opinion, this is the behavior of a bitch.

If Wei Muyu bullied her best friend, she would definitely return the favor a hundredfold.

Her grandfather once secretly investigated the preferences of various officials in the court. The antique treasures he left behind now seem to be put to use. She will definitely not let her grandfather down.

Jiang Nianwei took out the list. A few years had passed and some officials had changed, but most of the information still matched.

Some officials were fond of antique calligraphy and paintings, and all the works left by her grandfather were authentic. Jiang Nianwei felt that it would be a waste to give away the authentic works like this, so she found a way to hire two painters at a high price to copy the authentic works.

This kind of copying is not in the general sense, but even the seals on the calligraphy and painting and the traces of aging will be reproduced one to one.

After copying it, she found people who specialized in calligraphy and painting authentication to check it. All of them were amazed and confirmed that these were authentic works.

After coming up with all these tricks, Jiang Nianwei sent people to send out these calligraphy and paintings one by one in the name of the Jing family.

No matter what she likes, she will find a way to conquer it, and strive to establish all the connections before Meng Wanran discovers these clues.

It includes not only officials, but also the weaknesses, romantic affairs, and even illegitimate children of several old princes, all of which are recorded in great detail.

I don’t know what ability my grandfather has to investigate this information.

It was not until I read about A Zhao's uncle, Prince Rui, the brother of the current emperor, that I felt a little confused.

The paper stated: Prince Rui was in love with a woman from an official family, but they were forced to separate. The woman entered the palace and became a concubine, while Prince Rui never married and has now become a monk in a temple.

Jiang Nianwei was curious about who the concubine was, and her intuition told her that there must be some secret hidden in it.

She wrote down all the information she thought was important and sent Shuangshuang to pass it to Yuwen Long, who would then give it to A Zhao, perhaps it could be of some use.

……

Baili Zhao was forced to marry, which meant that the Mu State, which had been harassing the border of Dasheng, began to seek peace.

But based on the clues he had collected, he felt that Mu State's purpose would not be so simple. It had always coveted the territories of other countries. Wars had been fought for so many years, and if it was so submissive for a while, there must be other conspiracies.

His relationship with Sanniang had finally improved, but what the Queen had done was so troublesome.

Baili Zhao took out the list that Jiang Nianwei had given him earlier. Most of the people on the list were the prince's cronies. He had already dealt with some of the local officials, but he could not shake the high-ranking officials in the capital.

It is precisely because of these people's protection that Bailihe and the Queen can be so arrogant.

He had been entangled in a long-standing question in his mind: both of them were the queen's sons, but the treatment they received was so different that it was puzzling.

It was not until Yuwen Long received the secret letter that he heard was from Jiang Nianwei that he could not wait to open it, only to find that the letter contained many secrets that even spies could not find out.

Sure enough, even after leaving his mansion, Sanniang still missed him in her heart.

There was a lot of useful information in the letter. When his eyes inadvertently passed over the line about King Rui, his heart skipped a beat and his thoughts froze in an instant.

Some missed memories flashed in my mind.

"My Lord, please have mercy on me and lead me out of this sea of ​​suffering! I can no longer stay in this golden cage, and I don't want to continue to be with that disgusting person."

Prince Rui took a few steps back, his attitude distant: "Your Majesty, you are too kind. How dare I, a humble subject, go against the moral principles of heaven and take you away without permission? As the queen of Fengyi, your every move is the foundation of the country, so you should put the overall situation first."

"It was obviously that man who broke us up... He was the one who schemed to force me to marry him. Otherwise, the person I should have married would have been you."

"Everything is destined. What's the point of talking about the past? The Queen should teach the two princes well. Our fate has finally come to an end."

Wen Xiuwan smiled bitterly, "My two princes, if I say..."

She leaned close to King Rui's ear and whispered a few words. After hearing this, King Rui was immediately frightened and fell to his knees.

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words."

Baili Zhao's memory ended here. At that time, he could not understand the conversation between the two and why his mother treated his uncle so badly.

Then he had a high fever and his memory began to blur. Sometimes, he couldn't even tell whether he was dreaming or real.

I think of it now because I saw this secret.

Upon closer thought, the one who was entangled with Prince Rui was not an ordinary concubine in the palace, but Queen Wen Xiuwan.

And Crown Prince Bailihe is most likely not his father’s biological son, but the unexpected fruit of a forbidden love.

If not, how can we explain why King Rui never married in his life and eventually gave up the worldly world and became a monk?

This guess was too shocking, so he didn't dare to speculate further. But if it was true, he could understand why his mother treated him like this.

A child born to someone you hate...what is there to love about him? He must also be hated.

His existence seemed to have been burdened with an unexpected fate since its birth.

Bailihe was the child she gave birth to with her beloved King Rui, so naturally she loved him very much.

Baili Zhao's face looked even more solemn in the dim light. He put away the secret letter and called Zheng Changkong over: "I have a very important matter for you to investigate. This matter is of great importance and must be handled by you personally. You must keep it strictly secret and not let any outsiders hear it."

"As ordered!"

If this is true, it will be his greatest weapon to overthrow the queen and the prince.

……

No matter how much Jiang Nianwei used her connections to investigate the woman named Cai Ling, she still found nothing. This made her feel very strange.

Could it be that this woman has died, or did she never exist in the first place?

As long as a person is alive, there will always be traces of existence in the world, but she seemed to have disappeared. Except for the palace, she had people search all other places.

Jiang Nianwei's heart suddenly moved. In the palace... Could it be that the woman named Cai Ling is in the palace?

This guess was too bold, and Jiang Nianwei was a little uncertain.

She suddenly remembered the eunuch Chen who had participated in the confiscation of property and what he had said.

It seems that now I can only seek help from Eunuch Chen. He should be the person who knows the things in the palace best.

Jiang Nianwei immediately prepared several boxes of pastries. They looked like pastries from the outside, but they were actually made of gold.

This time she did not go in person, but went through many people before delivering these so-called "pastries" to Eunuch Chen.

Finally, I had the chance to let Shuangshuang disguise herself as a woman looking for her relatives to find her sister who had been lost for many years.

When Eunuch Chen saw Shuangshuang, he was a little surprised. "We thought that someone who was willing to pay so much must be a very powerful person. I never thought it was just a little girl."

Shuangshuang knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, "I beg you to have mercy on me, sir, and give me a helping hand!"

Eunuch Chen leaned slightly to the side, his eyes more scrutinizing. He leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea seemed to temporarily dispel the heavy atmosphere around him. He slowly said, "Little girl, if you have any unspeakable secrets, why not tell us in detail? Let me see if this old man can do anything for you."

Shuangshuang looked up, tears glistening in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. Her voice was soft, but every word was clear, like the sunlight penetrating the mist in autumn: "I have had an elder sister since I was young. Because our family fell into poverty, my parents had no choice but to entrust her to a distant relative to take care of her. Unexpectedly, the distant relative not only had no affection for my sister, but also sold her to a brothel, and she has not been heard from since then. I made inquiries from many sources and went through untold hardships just to find my sister. I heard that my sister was in a brothel in the capital, but I searched for her for several days without success. Only then... only then did I find my father-in-law."

"What's the point of you looking for my sister and asking my family for help? My family doesn't run a brothel."

"I know that you are very powerful, and you know everything about the palace. I have searched everywhere for my sister, but there is only one place I haven't looked for."

Eunuch Chen looked at her thoughtfully, "You have such a sweet mouth, do you want us to help you find your sister in the palace?"

"That's right, please help me, father-in-law."

Eunuch Chen slowly stood up and let out a long sigh. The sound echoed in the empty house, sounding particularly heavy.

"Alas, what a pity! Although I have been in this palace for many years, I have never mastered the ability to change the situation and have all-powerful hands and eyes. You should take all this gold back. You can't get the information you want from me."

"As for your sister, just treat her as dead and go back to arrange her funeral!"

Shuangshuang was anxious, thinking that Eunuch Chen had discovered something. She couldn't mess up the task assigned to her by Jiang Nianwei.

But Eunuch Chen was no longer willing to stay any longer. When Shuangshuang looked up, she found that he had already left.

When she returned to the manor, she said weakly, "Sister Nianwei, I really tried my best, but that old fox didn't want to tell me."

Jiang Nianwei looked at the gold that was brought back and thought, "He has already told you the answer."
