Qi Yuan's special calming powder had a very good sleeping effect. As she hadn't slept for two days, she slept until the next morning.

He slowly opened his eyes, took two seconds to react, and suddenly woke up, "Xuan Shuang!"

Xuan Shuang, who was guarding the bed, stepped out and said, "I'm here."

Su Yuejian,?

How can she be so confident?

But she didn't have the energy to think about it now. "Where's the prince? How's Princess Cailuan doing?"

"The prince is investigating the theft at the inn. Princess Cailuan is fine and left for Shuiyunjian early this morning."

Su Yuejian paused, "The Emperor didn't embarrass the prince? Didn't the Xihe envoy go to see the Emperor yesterday?"

Xuan Shuang thought for a moment and said, "It's not a big deal. The Emperor has ordered His Majesty to solve the case within ten days and find the person who intended to steal."

Ever since Prince Gong's death, someone has been secretly targeting them, first Qin Wei, then Tian Xinlian.

If the emperor knew that the poison in Xiao Heng could be cured... Su Yue's face darkened.

Yuzhu and Yinxin came in with basins of water to help her wash up.

"My princess is sleeping soundly. Yesterday, because of the incident with Miss Duhuo, the master got really angry at Mofangju. If the young master hadn't been injured and unable to move, the master would have called the family law."

When the words "sleep very soundly" were mentioned, Su Yuejian glanced at the righteous Xuan Shuang standing beside her, and frowned when she heard the rest of the words.

"Where is Miss Duhuo?"

"The young master placed him in the Fulan Pavilion behind Mofangju and sent people to guard it. The old master tried to go in several times but was not allowed to see him."

Su Yuejian pondered for a moment. Although her brother's action was reckless, it did enlighten her.

Qingshan personally handled the fake death of Cui Yingyu that day, so there would be no mistake. But how did Qin Wei know that she was not dead, and how did he find her to testify?

But she couldn't get anything out of Cui Yingyu last time. She was afraid that it would be difficult to use her to lure out the person behind the scenes. She really didn't know what Su Yanzhou was thinking, using her as a reason to break off the engagement.

Thinking of Xiao Ningyao's sad look when she left yesterday, Su Yuejian felt particularly uncomfortable.

"Princess, an imperial decree has come from the palace." Qinglan walked in with an ugly look on his face.

"The Emperor has issued an edict dismissing the eldest young master from his position as Imperial Academy Scholar and demoting him to the position of Chief Clerk of the Imperial Household Department. He will take up his new position at the beginning of next month."

"What?" Su Yue saw Chen Rushui. "The Imperial Household Department is already a sinecure, not to mention a seventh-rank chief clerk. How can my brother take up the position at the beginning of the month when he's injured?"

"The emperor has issued an order. Eunuch Huang has just gone to Mofang Residence to announce the order and returned to the palace."

Qing Lan bowed her head. "Also, the Emperor, mindful of the Young Master's injuries, has postponed the marriage with the Eldest Princess. The wedding will be decided after consultation between the Imperial Observatory and the Ministry of Rites."

His face turned completely cold, and Su Yuejian took a deep breath. Even if Su Yanzhou did this, the emperor's will remained unchanged.

After washing up and having a meal, he made some nourishing soup and sent it to Mo Fangju. As soon as he stepped into the yard, he ran into Lu Zhan and Wang Yun, who came out of the house with gloomy faces and came to visit Su Yanzhou.

"Third brother, eldest cousin."

When Su Yue bowed, Lu Zhan's face changed and he walked forward to pull her over.

"Yue'er came at the perfect time. I heard that he got the girl he loved. We asked him to see her but he refused. Please take us to see her."

Su Yuejian choked and looked at their curious eyes. Could it be that these two were not here to visit the patient, but to gossip?

Su Yuejian stopped Lu Zhan who was walking out.

"Third brother, my brother's men are guarding that yard, so you can't get in."

Lu Zhan frowned, and Su Yue was helpless. "You know, my brother's people are just like him. They only stick to their own opinions and won't listen to anyone except him."

Glancing at Wang Yun in the distance, Lu Zhan relaxed his brows. "Well, then, I won't force you. It's been a while since we last met, so I'll go to your Wutong Residence and visit you."

Wang Yun followed and said, "I heard that there is a century-old sycamore tree in the princess's Wutong Residence. Today is a good opportunity for us to appreciate it together with Brother Lu."

Su Yuejian and Lu Zhan looked at each other. Lu Zhan obviously had something he wanted to say to Su Yuejian alone, but he couldn't get rid of Wang Yun.

At the door of Wutongju, Zhou Wangzhi looked out eagerly. Seeing a familiar figure in the distance, his eyes lit up and he ran over.

"Sister Yue."

Su Yuejian was bumped into by him, "Young Marquis?"

Looking up, Su Yue was stunned to see Zhou Min standing at the gate of the courtyard. Several people bowed and greeted him.

Su Yuejian led a few people into Wutongju to find a table, and Yuzhu and Yinxin prepared tea and snacks.

"I forgot to give you the thank you gift when I came last time. Mother is grateful. Thank you Yue'er for saving Wangzhi in the palace."

Zhou Min took a sip of tea and handed the list of thank-you gifts to Qinglan.

"It just so happened that Wang Zhi came to learn chess today, so I brought him the thank-you gift along with me."

Zhou Wangzhi looked at Su Yuejian eagerly. Su Yuejian took the inventory from Yuzhu and handed it to him.

"The Jade Dew Balls were newly made today. The young marquis arrived just in time."

Zhou Wangzhi took the cake with shining eyes and started eating.

Seeing so many people here, Lu Zhan had to find another opportunity to talk to Su Yuejian. After having some tea and snacks, he stood up and said goodbye.

Seeing Wang Yun still sitting there, he asked in confusion, "Brother Wang, aren't you going with us?"

Today he met Wang Yun by chance at the gate of the mansion. He originally thought that he came to visit Su Yanzhou, but now it seems that he came for Su Yuejian.

Seeing him pursed his lips and said nothing, Qinglan led the servants in the yard away. Su Yuejian looked at him and asked, "Cousin, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Wang Yun spoke slowly, "To be honest, I came to you this time to ask a favor of the two princesses."

Su Yuejian was puzzled.

"It's about my little sister."

"Sister Wang?" Su Yuejian and Zhou Min looked at each other. "What's wrong with Sister Wang?"

"My father arranged a marriage for my younger sister to the Gu family. My younger sister didn't like the Gu family's children, so she had a big fight with my father and ran away from home."

"What?!" Su Yuejian and Zhou Min were both shocked.

"When did this happen?"

"She locked herself in her room two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I recently discovered that she had sneaked out of the house. It has been more than ten days now."

"I've only been in Kyoto for a short time and don't have many friends. I heard Firefox mention that he has a good relationship with the two princesses, so..."

"So if you two have any news about my younger sister, please let Wang know."

Su Yuejian and Zhou Min shook their heads in unison. Although they had known Wang Qingyi disliked Gu Shaoheng, they had never expected her to run away from home. It had been so long, and she didn't have any acquaintances in Kyoto. Where could she go?!

Wang Yun carefully observed the expressions of the two people. Seeing that the surprise on their faces was not fake, his heart sank to the bottom.

"I understand. If my younger sister comes to see you, please keep her."

Wang Yun stood up and bowed.

Su Yuejian and Zhou Min returned the greeting together, "Wang Shaoqing/Cousin, don't worry."

After seeing Wang Yun off, Su Yuejian and Zhou Min discussed it and decided to go to several suburban places where Wang Qingyi often went to look for her.

Yan Xu had gone out for something today and hadn't returned yet, so Zhou Wangzhi had no choice but to wait here. Zhou Min glanced at Zhou Wangzhi, and Lu Zhan stepped forward and said, "Princess Langning and Yue'er can go without worry. I'll stay here with the young marquis."

Zhou Min glanced at Lu Zhan's stern face, nodded slightly, thanked him, and left.

Zhou Wangzhi blinked, looked at Zhou Min who was walking away, then looked at the man next to him, supporting his chin with his small hand, with an unfathomable look on his face.

"Minister Lu, do you like my sister?"
