Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

She knew that as long as Qin Zhaohai's affairs were exposed, even if the emperor issued an edict to prove that they had never been involved, the people might not believe it.

Then their situation in the capital will be very embarrassing.

She didn't care. At worst, she would never leave the house.

But Zihao, and the Crown Princess, including her lovely grandchildren...

"Do you have any other plans?"

Qin Zihao smiled when she asked, "I do have a plan. Mom, please listen and see if it's feasible..."

The two people's voices became farther and farther away, and their footsteps became lighter and lighter as they talked.

This is different from the harmonious scene on their side.

Qin Zhaohai left the capital without stopping.

After half a day's journey, we finally arrived at a cliff.

He stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the house hidden in the fog in front of him, and entered the house in a few jumps.

When he passed by, carrier pigeons were still flying in the sky above Zhuangzi.

Seeing him coming, a man who looked to be in his sixties walked out from the crowd.

Their eyes met for a moment, and their figures disappeared from the spot. When they reappeared, they were in a courtyard that looked somewhat simple and elegant.

Qin Zhaohai walked into the pavilion in the courtyard and sat down.

The old man then stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said, "Master, why did you come here in person? Is there anything wrong?"

Qin Zhaohai raised his hand slightly. "Nothing. I was really anxious while waiting in Beijing, so I thought of coming over to see if you've received any other news in the past two days."

The old man shook his head. "No, Master. We have forwarded all the news we received to you, but the news that has not been delivered today is still not optimistic."

When Qin Zhaohai heard this, his brows furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.

"Forget it, no more waiting. These losers can't even protect a child and a woman. Go and gather everyone down here."

The old man in front of Qin Zhaohai raised his head when he heard this. It was the first time he saw his master like this.

He has been with him for decades and knows almost everything about Qin Zhaohai.

Of course, he also knew how many children his master had outside. To be honest, this was the first time he saw him get so angry over a child in all these years.

This shows how important the missing little master is in the master's heart, to the point that he even made the usually calm and composed master lose his composure.

He wanted to say a few more words of advice, but before he could open his mouth, he was met with Qin Zhaohai's slightly majestic face.

He could only clasp his fists and say, "Yes, Master, I will arrange it right away."

The old man moved very quickly, and by evening, the courtyard, which originally had only a few hundred people, became even more lively.

Especially the meeting hall in the manor, except for the servants outside who were busy collecting messages brought back by carrier pigeons, almost all the main personnel were inside.

Qin Zhaohai sat on the carved mahogany dragon chair at the head of the room. His sharp eyes swept over the sea of ​​kneeling heads below him. He said in a deep voice, "I called you here to tell you that our plan can be implemented..."

All the news he received in recent days said that the disappearance of Yan Niang and Qin Sui'an was related to Liaodong.

Especially the Leng family.

They are in Liaodong now.

It was also because he was careless and forgot to tell Yan Niang to be careful before leaving.

After all, the two people in the north had seen Qin Suian, and they were from the Leng family and the Li family. Qin Suian's life experience must have been spread among the Leng family and the Li family long ago.

At first, he thought that with Yan Niang's intelligence, she would definitely be able to guess the danger.

She will definitely make arrangements when contacting the people she wants to contact.

He never imagined that the stupid woman would use her own son as bait.

Although the news he received did not specify who had kidnapped them, he had been thinking hard for days and was convinced that it could only have been done by those people from Liaodong.

Especially those guys from the Leng family.

He always knew that Old Man Leng was very good at educating children and taught them to be friendly and respectful to each other.

They must have learned about what happened to Leng Yucheng in his hands before, so they deliberately captured Qin Suian this time to avenge the kid from the Leng family.

He really didn't expect that before he even caused any trouble for them, these inconsiderate people attacked his son first. It seemed that those people from the Leng family really couldn't be kept.

And Yan Niang....

Thinking of Yan Niang.

His brows were furrowed in a frosty look.

If she didn't look...

He will definitely not let her off easily when he finds her this time.

She wanted to die and dragged down her son, whom she was proud of.

What an idiot.

Sure enough, no matter how much she looks like her, it's not her. If it were her, she would definitely not do such a stupid thing.

Perhaps because he thought of the person in his heart, his originally resentful look subsided a little.

The people kneeling below were still waiting for his next instructions. When they saw that he suddenly stopped talking, they all raised their heads curiously, but they didn't dare to look at him directly, and they all glanced at him secretly.

Seeing a faint smile flash across his face, everyone looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

When had their master ever shown such an expression on his face?

It's really too...

Terrible.

Qin Zhaohai probably realized his own loss of composure, so he withdrew his thoughts and looked at the people below again.

When everyone saw him looking at them, they quickly lowered their heads.

Some of the timid ones couldn't help but break out in cold sweat on their foreheads.

They are afraid that their master will suddenly punish them.

Qin Zhaohai noticed their strangeness and deliberately waited for a long time before speaking again: "Qin Qing, you take your men to Liaodong first, and I will follow with my men. Qin Lan, you go to Youzhou and inform Jiang Chunan of the situation in Liaodong, and tell him..."

The people kneeling below left one after another until only five people were left in the hall. Qin Zhaohai then stood up and walked to the center of the hall. With his hands behind his back, he slowly said to them, "Go ahead. Emperor Qin Yi has been too comfortable and has been a little dishonest recently. Find something for him to do and don't let him be idle. Once he's comfortable, let's change the throne!"

He is not a fool. Qin Zihao was sent out to wander around for so long, saying that he was going to another country to discuss important matters, but in the half month since he came back, he didn't go to the palace once.

Considering that he sent Qin Zihao to Xihu and what happened there later, he understood without much investigation that the young emperor felt that he was old and had other thoughts.

I had wanted to let him stay in that position for a few more years, but it seems that there is no need.

*****

A month later.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze stood at the door of the renovated Li residence and looked back at the brand new decor inside. "Are you sure you don't want to bring mother and the others back?"
