The Field Marshal, Su Qi, was the father of the empress, Su Ruji. Yun Shang leaned against the wall of the carriage and thought to herself, 'is it possible that the person Jiang Nuxi said who has been behind Gu Zhaoge to be the Field Marshal?' Or, was it the empress?
When they arrived at the gate of the Lord Flua Guo's mansion, Yun Shang saw many soldiers surrounding the mansion, and many of the people of the Lord Hua Guo's mansion were standing at the gate, staring intensely at the Field Marshal who was sitting on a chair at the gate and drinking tea leisurely. Yun Shang gave a brittle laugh and got off the carriage. She said with a smile, "how carefree you are, Field Marshal. How can you serve tea in front of the Lord Hua Guo's mansion with your soldiers at such an early hour. But it's a little hot today. It feel comfortable at this hour. I'm afraid the heat will be hotter for you to bear after the sun comes out."
On hearing this, Su Qi turned to Yun Shang with a flash of disdain in his eyes, "I'm not here for tea. A servant of the Lord Hua Guo's mansion came to report that there is evidence of treachery in the Lord Hua Guo's mansion. I'm here to protect the evidence from being destroyed. You'd better not meddle in it for you are a woman."
"Really?" Yun Shang walked to the gate slowly and comforted those people who were emotionally excited in the Lord Hua Guo's mansion. She turned around and said, "maybe I'm not familiar with the law of the state of Xia. I didn't know that you, Field Marshal, have the right to search the mansion of the No. 1 courtiers?"
Lady Rui, please mind your words. Have you ever seen me searching the mansion? I'm just afraid that the evidence will be destroyed and I'm here to protect the evidences. I've also asked his majesty to issue the imperial edict, and after that, we can search this mansion. " The Field Marshal said with a smile, touching the beard on his face.
"Really? I see now. " Yun Shang remained calm, straightened her sleeve, and turned to Qian Yin. "I heard that it is of great importance for the Field Marshal to be in charge of the Imperial Army. If anything happens to the Field Marshal, the state of Xia will be in danger as well, and the tens of thousands of soldiers of the state of Xia will be like a man without his head. Such an important person should be protected well, too. We should also protect Field Marshal's family well too. Go send for my order to gather all the secret guards of the Prince Rui's mansion, guards and servants. Go to the Field Marshal' mansion and make sure his family are all okay."
The people in Lord Flua Guo's mansion looked at each other after hearing her words. Lord Hua Guo's eldest son smiled as well and said, "In fact, we also have hundreds of guards who are not in our mansion right now. We can transfer hundreds of guards in the guard camp in the suburb of the city there. This miss, please take them with you." Then he took out a black token from his waist and handed it to Qian Yin.
When Su Qi heard that, his face immediately turned gloomy. He slapped on the chair armrest and shouted angrily, "how dare you!"
"Don't be so thankful, Field Marshal. It's my pleasure. By the way, it suddenly occurred to me that if such a high-ranking official of the state of Xia was taken advantage of, some rebellious evidences might appear in the mansion, which would be more dangerous than the mansion of Lord Hua Guo, who had not been involved in state affairs for more than 20 years. Guards! Send a message to his majesty on behalf of Lady Rui to ask his majesty to allow someone to search the mansion of Field Marshal! " Yun Shang raised her voice, with coldness and cruelty in her eyes.
"Did you hear it? I will also send a message to his majesty in the name of the Lord Hua Guo's mansion. Prepare it and send it to the imperial palace as soon as possible."
Su Qi stood up in anger, he pointed at Yun Shang and shouted angrily. "Lady Rui, are you really setting yourself against me today?"
"Set me against you? I don't understand." Yun Shang pretended that she didn't understand what the man meant. She said with a puzzled look, "Your Lordship, what do you mean? I am also the Lady Rui of the state of Xia. Of course I did it for the sake of the state of Xia."
Looking at the twisted face of Su Qi, Yun Shang sneered in her heart for a moment. When she and Qi Lang confronted each other earlier in the KY City, she knew that she had to be more rogue and make trouble out of nothing to deal with a person like this. Anyway, Yun Shang was just a woman. If Su Qi cared too much about it, he would lose.
Yun Shang was not just kidding. She quickly asked Qian Yin to send some people to surround the mansion of the Field Marshal. She also prepared a message and let the secret guard take her token into the palace to his majesty.
As Su Qi sat outside the door, Yun Shang and the people from the Lord Hua Guo's mansion sat with him. After seeing the situation, Shen Yilan knew what Yun Shang was thinking. She ordered a maid to bring some fruit from ice cubes and put them in front of the door. And there were also several pots of ice flowerpots in front of the door. Even the sun gradually rose, they did not feel hot. As a maid was fanning ice with a fan, the cool wind came incessantly.
Shen Yilan saw that as the sun was shining on Su Qi, sweat started to trickle down his forehead. Shen Yilan was even happier. She took Yun Shang's hand and whispered, "I thought I was the one who knows how to be unreasonable, but I did not expect that you could be like this when you are angry. Even you looked gentle and soft, but you still have a hot temper underneath. I'm really impressed."
