"Huang-jie, is there something you came for today?"
Su Qing changed the subject and asked.
"I have something to discuss with you."
Jun Huang glanced at Qin Lan Shan again and said.
"It's okay, just say it directly."
Su Qing said straightforwardly.
He couldn't be sure about before, but now he could guarantee it.
Even if someone asked about his secrets, his loyal Little Slave would never reveal them.
"I've compiled some information for you, take a good look."
Jun Huang didn't mind and directly threw a document on the table.
Su Qing quickly scanned it and nodded slightly.
He beckoned, signaling Qin Lan Shan to come over and take a look as well.
The content above was about the Tang State Residence case, including the causes and consequences of some events.
"So now the problem with the Tang State Residence is not small, after all, they are involved with the Heavenly Principles Sect."
"This group of cultists has been trying to disrupt the internal peace of the dynasty."
"Those letters that were found one after another have confirmed the Tang State Residence's guilt."
Jun Huang calmly summarized the contents of the report.
After reading the report, Qin Lan Shan's face was a little pale.
She subconsciously looked at Su Qing, as if she wanted to say something to defend herself.
"Don't be so agitated, I know very well that this is a frame-up."
"The Duke of Tang has always been law-abiding and would not do such a rebellious thing."
Jun Huang continued.
Qin Lan Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and her eyes showed a hint of gratitude towards the Grand Princess.
"So, what do you want to say?"
Su Qing raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I sent people to investigate the suspicious individuals that the Duke of Tang had previously contacted."
"Earl of Anning, General Pingyi, the Wang Family... these are all very likely targets."
"If you need me to plan out which ones are more important, you can tell me directly."
Jun Huang looked deeply at the young man in front of her as she spoke.
She naturally wanted to help with the planning, after all, she had just messed up something not long ago.
Since there's still no news about the mysterious woman who escaped, I can only do what's within my power.
"Well, thank you, Huang-jie, but there's no need for any planning."
Su Qing now understood the purpose of her visit and said with a smile.
What's this, compensating with another matter because she didn't help me with one thing?
"Okay, I... what did you say?"
Jun Huang only belatedly reacted after speaking, her brow furrowing.
"I already have a target, Huang-jie, I appreciate your concern."
Su Qing said with an affirmative tone.
"What's the target?"
Jun Huang immediately asked.
The future Empress frowned, clearly somewhat displeased.
"The Chen Family."
Su Qing decisively spat out the two words.
Since she cares about me, there's no need for me to hide anything.
"The Chen Family? They're a long-established powerful family in the Capital, there's no motive or reason to investigate them."
Jun Huang said, even more displeased.
Because this option wasn't among the suspicious forces she had mentioned!
So what does this mean, he doesn't trust me?
Calling me Huang-jie so sweetly, but in reality, he's rebellious to the core, always going against me!
"Huang-jie seems a little unhappy."
"In that case, how about we make another bet?"
"The stakes are the same as last time, we'll bet on whether my guess is correct."
Su Qing said with a playful smile on his face.
As a player, do you think I'm joking with you?
Jun Huang coldly snorted, about to agree without hesitation, but then she heard the young man's supplementary words.
"Last time, I had something I needed your help with, this time is different."
"If you lose, I won't show any mercy."
As Su Qing spoke, his gaze swept downwards with ill intent.
Her slender, beautiful legs, shimmering with an ivory-like luster, instinctively recoiled.
"Impudent, when has this Palace ever needed you to show mercy!"
Jun Huang's voice suddenly rose several degrees.
However, this aloof Grand Princess swallowed when she finished speaking.
Even Qin Lan Shan, who had been silent all along, could tell that this Your Highness was a little nervous.
Her current performance was just a show of bravado to save face.
Su Qing had a subtle smile on his face.
He wasn't afraid of her loud voice, but of her not agreeing!
Calculating the time, it was about time for him to go and be an unwelcome guest.
He just didn't know if that talented woman would welcome him or not?
Well, she probably wouldn't welcome him; it was about time for those things to happen.
Chen Family.
This top-tier wealthy family in the Capital was currently holding a grand evening banquet.
The venue, Linlang Courtyard, was already bustling with activity.
However, those coming and going were not wealthy merchants, but talented scholars and beautiful women.
The endless stream of talented scholars and beautiful women looked elegant and well-mannered, with remarkable talent.
Because today was the day of the elegant gathering held every month by the Chen Family's Eldest Miss.
Merchants would not appear there, bringing the stench of money to this gathering of literati.
There were not many couples among the talented scholars and beautiful women; mostly, there were elegant young masters.
They put on their most appropriate clothes and showed their most welcoming smiles.
Because they were eagerly waiting to see the protagonist of this banquet.
Chen Family's Pearl, Chen Chu Ci, was the most famous talented woman in the Capital.
Whether male or female, seeing her would surely be unforgettable for a lifetime.
Inside a carriage.
"The talented scholars I've seen today are even more numerous than before."
Su Qing opened the curtain and glanced outside the window, smiling meaningfully.
Were the talented scholars inside truly talented, or just pretentious fakes?
Well, probably only they themselves knew.
But just looking at the crowd, it was like an ancient version of idol worship.
Even those who had never seen the Chen Family's Pearl would blindly follow, seeing such a lively scene, right?
It could be said that Chen Chu Ci had a considerable influence in the Capital.
Almost everyone gave her some face.
"Chu Ci is the most famous talented woman in the Capital, of course people like her."
Qin Lan Shan, sitting next to the young man, said in a matter-of-fact tone.
It was obvious that she seemed a little proud.
"Oh? Judging by your tone, you two must have a good relationship?"
Su Qing raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
He was naturally asking the obvious, giving the other party a chance to show off.
"Of course, Chu Ci and I have a great relationship, it's just that we haven't been in contact recently."
Qin Lan Shan nodded vigorously and said.
It could be said that the Chen Family's Eldest Miss was her good friend.
Not only did they have a sisterly relationship, but she was also her little brother's fiancée, though they had no fate.
If the Tang State Residence hadn't changed overnight, her good friend would probably be her sister-in-law, right?
Thinking of this, the Shopkeeper felt a little lost.
