When she walked to her yard, she saw Shuo Ling and his followers walk out hastily.

Seeing this, An Qin hurried to run after them and stopped them before they stepped on the horse!

An Qin ran forward and asked, "My Lord, where are you going?"

Shuo Ling just gave her a glance and clamped the horse to ride out.

Seeing this, Mo Li walked forward with his hands cupped and said, "Concubine An, there is an emergency in the border. His Majesty asks His Lordship to go to the border and settle the disputes there."

Hearing this, An Qin frowned, felt nervous, and her face darkened.

The Emperor of Beiling was too scheming. Although there were disputes on the border and other ministers could go there, the Emperor intentionally created an opportunity for her to search Marquis Shuo's mansion.

Mo Li stepped on the horse and looked at An Qin with his hands cupped, "Concubine An, I'll leave."

Mo Li rode towards Shuo Ling.

An Qin frowned and found something strange. Infanta Qingcheng, Marquis Shuo's wife, should have come out to see Marquis Shuo off when Marquis Shuo went to Xiling, but she didn't appear.

She wondered whether Shuo Ling didn't tell it to Infanta Qingcheng.

Thinking of this, An Qin smiled and found Shuo Ling didn't love Infanta Qingcheng!

If not, why didn't Shuo Ling inform her of it?

An Qin turned back to say to Suotu, "Let's go back!"

Meanwhile, she turned to walk into the mansion. When they walked to a corner, An Qin stopped and walked to the other side.

"Your Highness, our direction is wrong. Our room is this way." Suotu reminded An Qin.

An Qin looked at Suotu with a smile and said, "I don't want to return to my room. Since we are newcomers, we need to pay respects to Infanta Qingcheng first."

"Yes, Your Highness." Suotu nodded.

Just walking for a while, An Qin stopped to look at the standing guard on one side and said to Suotu, "Go to ask where Infanta Qingcheng's room is?"

"Wait, Your Highness." Suotu replied and walked to Zhou Ji, who was standing not far away.

When she walked in front of him, Suotu asked, "Hello, where is Infanta Qingcheng's room?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ji frowned because he didn't like Infanta An Qin's servant girl's tone. Then Zhou Ji glanced at her and said, "Madam's room is where His Lordship lives. Why do you find her?"

"Er... We want to pay respects to madam." Suotu said, and her voice became gentler. Maybe Zhou Ji's question reminded her of their status in the mansion.

Zhou Ji pointed at Marquis's room slowly and said, "Over there. Go straight to the end of the road."

Hearing this, Suotu nodded and hurried to go back to An Qin.

An Qin hurried to ask Suotu, "Have you known the location? Where is it?"

"Your Highness, follow me." Suotu nodded and said to An Qin.

An Qin nodded and followed Suotu to walk to Shuo Ling's room.

When they walked to the room, the door was open. An Qin walked into the room directly, but she found Infanta Qingcheng wasn't in the room.

An Qin frowned and thought why Infanta Qingcheng wasn't in the room in the early morning.

An Qin glanced at the room and found the room's layout was excellent.

Seeing the unclosed closet in the corner, she found men's clothing inside and couldn't help frowning.

She wondered why there were Shuo Ling's clothes in Infanta Qingcheng's room, so An Qin asked Suotu, "Are you sure this is Infanta Qingcheng's room?"

"Yes. The guard said Infanta Qingcheng's room is at the end of the road." Suotu said to An Qin.

Meanwhile, Zhiyin and Huakai, who were going to tidy up the room, walked inside and felt surprised to see An Qin in the room.

They made a bow to An Qin, "Concubine An."

"Today I come here to visit madam according to the etiquette. Seeing the door open, I walked in but found madam wasn't inside." An Qin said to Huakai and Zhiyin with a smile.

Huakai smiled at An Qin and said, "Concubine An, madam hasn't been in the room since yesterday."

"Really? She hasn't been in the mansion since yesterday. Where is madam?" An Qin asked.

Huakai put Shuo Ling's clothes that had been washed into the closet and said, "I don't know. Madam didn't tell us when she left."

"Why His Lordship's things are put in madam's room?" An Qin nodded, then saw Huakai put Shuo Ling's clothes into the closet, and asked.

Zhiyin smiled and said, "I think Concubine An misunderstands it."

"What? Misunderstand?" An Qin looked at Zhiyin in bewilderment.

Zhiyin said, "This was His Lordship's room in the past. On the wedding day of His Lordship and madam, His Lordship asked the servants to move madam's things into the room."

"OK. If madam comes back, I hope you can tell me." An Qin nodded and said with a smile.

Zhiyin and Huakai nodded and said, "OK, Concubine An. As long as madam comes back, we will go to tell you."

"Thank you." An Qin continued.

Hearing this, Huakai and Zhiyin hurried to reply to her, "You are welcome. It's just a piece of cake."

Then An Qin walked out Shuo Ling's room.

The moment An Qin went out of the room, her face darkened. She thought the matter wasn't as simple as what she had imagined. At yesterday's wedding, Yang Zijin seemed very serious when Yang Zijin congratulated Shuo Ling and her.

Yesterday Shuo Ling also looked worried, and thus she felt curious about it. Now she knew the reason!

She had thought it was easy to deal with Infanta Qingcheng. It seemed that she needed to make more efforts.

Infanta Qingcheng wasn't in the mansion, so it was convenient for her to do more things!

At least she could slowly search the mansion when Shuo Ling went to the border.

An Qin hurried to walk to her room.

In the inn

Yang Zijin woke up and stood up from the bed.

Jiang Wei waited for her in the room.

Yang Zijin stood up and asked Jiang Wei, "Have Brother Pei and Young Master Run gotten up?"

"Madam, they have gotten up. Mr. Pei goes to the small town to buy things needed on the way."

"OK." Yang Zijin nodded.

After freshening herself up, Yang Zijin said to Jiang Wei, "Let's go. Let's wait for them downstairs."

"OK." Jiang Wei responded and followed Yang Zijin.

Pei Moning saw Yang Zijin and Jiang Wei, so he spared one hand to wave to Jiang Wei, "Miss Jiang, hurry up. I can't hold them any longer."

Jiang Wei frowned, walked forward to take something from Pei Moning's hand, and said to him, "Follow me."

Meanwhile, Jiang Wei took the things and walked to the place where she parked the carriage yesterday.

Yang Zijin smiled in her heart and thought Pei Moning was truly her elder brother.

Later, Jiang Wei led the carriage out.

Pei Moning also led two horses out.

They made some preparations and continued their journey.

In the mansion of the Lan's family

Men of sacrifice sent by them had come back.

In Prime Minister Lan's room

"My Lord, we have completed our task." The head said with his hands cupped in front.

Hearing this, Prime Minister Lan didn't frown anymore and laughed, "This time Imperial Concubine Xiao's plot failed."

He continued, "Excellent. Imperial Concubine Xiao must have played lots of tricks. Thanks for your hard work. Go to have a rest first."

"Thank you." The head of them said to Prime Minister Lan with his hands cupped in front.

He flashed and disappeared from Prime Minister Lan's room.

After he left, Prime Minister Lan smiled for a while. This was the first good news he heard these days.

He needed to be cautious. Since Imperial Concubine Xiao failed this time, she would plot something else.

The only chance for them was that Lan Ruojing's followers saw that Shuo Ling and General Bai met in the forest secretly.

As long as they found the evidence, they could regain Chushi Youtian's trust.

Since Infanta An Qin, the King of Liao City's daughter, married Marquis Shuo, he knew Chushi Youtian was plotting something.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Lan sighed and wondered how Lan Ruojing's work was going.

After Qiao Shu went back home yesterday, she constantly lay on the bed and kept silent even if her father went to ask what the matter was with her.

Qiao Yanlin frowned, said something to Qiao Shu, and walked out of Qiao Shu's room.

Qiao Shu sat up from the bed and wiped tears with her handkerchief. She thought she couldn't be like this. If Infanta An Qin was really like what Lan Ruojing had said, Shuo Ling would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Qiao Shu felt nervous and got out of bed. She needed to find a chance to get close to Infanta An Qin and figured out her purpose.

Meanwhile, Qiao Shu walked out of the room and went to the mansion of Marquis.

Although Imperial Concubine Xiao had known the result before, she was out of temper when men of sacrifice went to report the result, "Why do you fail in such little things? Rubbish!"

"Please punish us." The head of them kneeled and said to Imperial Concubine Xiao.

Imperial Concubine Xiao calmed down after a while, "The die is cast. It's useless to punish you. Don't you know this failure will give Prime Minister Lan a chance to fight back?"

Meanwhile, Imperial Concubine Xiao waved to signal them to leave.

The head saw this, made a bow to Imperial Concubine Xiao, and got out of Imperial Concubine Xiao's room.
