When Yin Ze came out of the imperial study, his underwear was soaked with cold sweat.

He only wanted to confirm his guess, but he didn't think about what meaning his behavior would have in the eyes of others.

Fortunately, he found an excuse to get away with it.

Yin Ze was about to rush back to Ruyang, but the emperor ordered that all members of the Lu family be escorted to Beijing and handed over to the three courts for trial.

Hu An made some ginseng tea and brought it in. The emperor took a sip and called him.

"Huan, is the Su family girl Yin Ze was talking about the same Su Qingli who broke off the engagement with Yu Heng?"

"Back to Your Majesty, yes."

"When did he get in touch with Su Qingli?" the emperor asked casually.

"Your Majesty, half a month ago, Su Qingli went to Baiyun Temple to pray for Su Qinshi. On the way, she encountered bandits and was rescued by General Yin." Hu An said with a smile, "I have seen Su Qingli. She is very beautiful."

"How old is Yin Ze?"

"Your Majesty, General Yin is already twenty-eight years old." Hu An accepted the teacup handed to him by the emperor. "General Yin does things without fear of others' opinions. He does not care about the means, but only the results. The powerful people in the capital are afraid of him and dare not marry their daughters into the Yin family."

The emperor pondered for a moment and was a little hesitant. Behind Su Qingli was Prime Minister Su, who was very good at manipulating people. His original intention was to let Yin Ze marry the daughter of a pure minister.

Looking at the court, how many truly loyal ministers are there?

"What is Su Qingli's character like?"

Juan hesitated, and the emperor, noticing his hesitation, scolded him with a smile, "I forgive you, but speak frankly."

"I don't know much about Su Qingli, but judging by what she's done, she's a woman of character." Hu An spoke slowly and steadily. "The Zhao Palace is a very prestigious family. If a girl could marry into the Zhao Palace, they would be ecstatic and would grant Prince Zhao any request. But Su Qingli is not like that."

"On the surface, Su Qingli blamed Prince Zhao for being unkind and unfaithful, so she broke off the engagement. But in reality, it was because Prince Zhao liked the second daughter of the Xiangfu."

"Sisters fighting for the same person?" The emperor smiled indifferently. This kind of drama was very normal. Most of the time, the elder sister would give in to the younger sister.

"You can say that." Juan said with a smile, "But when I look at Su Qingli, I'm not giving in, I'm angry."

"Angry? Why?" the emperor was puzzled.

"Because the head lady of the Xiangfu is surnamed Lu."

The smile on the emperor's face disappeared in an instant. He almost forgot about this. Although Su Qingli was Prime Minister Su's eldest daughter, her mother died early, and Lu Feng was the head of the mansion.

This Lu Feng is from the Lu family of Ruyang, and he must have many tricks up his sleeve. Su Qingli made a big fuss about the cancellation of the engagement. It seemed that she was targeting Prince Zhao, but in fact, she was targeting the mistress of the house.

"Does Prime Minister Su like this eldest daughter?"

"Your Majesty, Su Qingli has always been raised by Old Madam Su." Hu An never speaks too clearly. If Prime Minister Su likes this daughter, how could he let her be raised by Old Madam Su?

"How old is Su Qingli?"

"It seems she's almost reaching the age of marriage." Hu An thought for a moment, "Some time ago, I heard a few of the little ones gossiping about how Marquis Boyong had taken a fancy to Su Qingli, and Madam Su quite agreed with this."

The emperor couldn't help but frown. Su Qingli was the eldest daughter of the prime minister after all, and Marquis Boyong was almost the same age as Old Madam Su. This Lu Feng really didn't care about his face at all!

"Su Qingli is still in Baiyun Temple?"

"Your Majesty, I'm still at Baiyun Temple. Su Qingli seems to be quite pleasing to your eyes."

The emperor pondered for a moment, then continued reviewing the memorials. "Prime Minister Su's daughter and Yin Ze are a good match. If Yin Ze truly desires me, please come to me and ask for my help. After Su Qingli reaches the age of marriage, I will arrange a marriage for her. The most urgent task is to have her deal with the Lu family's conspiracy to rebel."
