In terms of assassination and scheming, she did not lose to anyone. However, she really did not understand the crafty and crafty methods that were used in the mall. At that time, she was dumbstruck and could not speak a word.

"Does this sister want one too? Seeing that you have such an otherworldly temperament, I believe you are well liked by your husband. This Orchid Fragrance is light and elegant, just right for you. "The so called Orchid Keeper, with a fragrance like orchids and a voice like 'Remain Man', can help you keep a man's heart for a long time …"

Too much bullshit! Gu Qingli once again witnessed Prince Chen's flirting. She watched helplessly as he sold each box of scented powder in front of her for three to four times the price.

When there was only one box left, a young lady with a veil over her face hesitantly wanted to leave. She looked at it for the longest time, but her intention was obviously not to drink.

"This girl probably doesn't like these mundane things. The road is' banana leaves on the autumn wind green, late rain tassels wet. New scented mignonette. "It's late and deep in the tent, and the melilotus fragrance is in the tent at night, helping me to sleep. Although I don't like the scented powder, it's elegant for me to use a scented pouch to hang it in the tent."

The girl hesitantly placed her hand on the powder box, but Xiao Yiyan smiled. "The melilotus fragrance is unique to the autumn flowers. It suits the lady's temperament of being unique and fragrant all night long, so I'll give it to you."

He didn't even look at the girl's surprised expression as he waved his sleeve at the stall that sold the powdered incense. "The money is all yours." He pulled Gu Qingli along and left.

"Prince Chen." Gu Qingli couldn't help it, but she didn't know what to say. She kept having the feeling that he was very childish, but at the same time, she was making her want to laugh.

"Are you happy?"

"Your highness spent so much money just to make me laugh?"

"That's right. Seeing you trapped in Fifth Brother's house for so long and feeling cold and depressed, how boring must these days be? "It's rare to be able to enjoy life. If one can get a smile from a beauty, why not?"

Gu Qingli smiled and shook her head. No matter how childish he was in using these tricks to win her smile, she really couldn't even straighten her back when she was smiling. The haze in her heart had rarely disappeared.

They gradually walked to the end of the street. At the end of the street were the rich and beautiful families, and just as they were about to turn back, they saw a group of officials holding a seal to the door, chasing a large group of crying people out of a large mansion. Among them were many women and children, all dressed in luxurious clothing, and even if they carried some small bags in their hands, it could be seen that they were wealthy families.

"What should we do …" Master … " One of them, a woman with a head full of jade, thumped her chest and stamped her feet.

"Come, come. I'm here to seal up the Liu Estate with the imperial edict of the emperor. No one is allowed to stay!"

Gu Qingli subconsciously halted her steps, only to find that Xiao Yiyan had raised a fan to cover his face with a serious expression. It was obvious that he didn't want to be discovered.

A few carriages came along Crossroads Street from the east. Although their journey was slow, they were not ordinary carriages. When they entered the alleyway of the Liu residence, they stopped. Someone alighted from the horse.

"Sister, come with us. Does the Ling Residence still not have a place for you?" That man seemed to be in his early thirties. He wore a red robe with water chestnut patterns, and his face was frosted over, appearing quite impressive.

Gu Qing Li heard Xiao Yi Yan whisper, "General Zhao Wei, Ling Long."

Hearing the word 'Ling', she subconsciously thought of Imperial Concubine Ling's mother. Sure enough, the Liu residence was the residence of the Minister of Rites, Liu Zhengyan. Today, it just so happened to be sealed off.

Ling Yun shouted to the people who sealed the door, "If you want to do it, do not touch the women! What are you looking for? Just this little bit of clothing is a woman's possession. Could it be that you are not allowed to take it away? "

Those sealed were all people from the Military Department. It was obvious that they were the subordinates of the Empress's brother, Xin Yingning, but since Ling Long was a first rank Martial General, how could they dare to say anything? They just nodded and gave up on the idea of searching their personal belongings.

Xiao Yiyan frowned and said softly, "With his interference, if the Liu Family had anything important, they must have been brought into the Ling Family."

Gu Qingli grabbed his sleeve and whispered, "You're a prince, you shouldn't interfere."

Xiao Yiyan was also somewhat helpless as he nodded.

After the two of them walked a long distance, they heard Xiao Yi Yan sigh and say, "How could Ling Long let the matter go? Even if the Ling Family's forces don't have half a mountain, it's still a very important matter. The Ling Family already has two of the six leaders.

Gu Qingli understood. It could be said that as long as one was born in the imperial court, they had to curry favor with the Minister of Rites. From this, one could see how much power he held.

This time, Liu Zheng's fall was a great loss to the Ling Family.

When he was young, she and Imperial Concubine Ling's father, Ling Pu, were also the greatest generals of the Eastern Abyss. Now, they were too old to fight; although they still held the title of the Imperial Protector, they only had empty titles and limited manpower. The Ling Family had the majority of military power under their control, and that was Ling Long, who Ling Pu had personally brought out.

In terms of strength, he was slightly stronger than the Minister of Rites.

Other than that, there was another official in the Ling family, Imperial Concubine Ling's eldest brother, the Minister of Government, Ling Yuanzhang.

The rest of the six divisions are called the Military Department.

The Board of Justice's Prince, Xiao Lingbin, was the leader of the world's criminal force. He had always been loyal to the Emperor, which was why the Ling family had not been able to do anything to him during the Three Divisions Trial.

In the Ministry of Revenue, she was in charge of the finances and taxes. Minister Lin's father-in-law, Fei Lian, took the position of neutral and became the target of many people's desire.

The Ministry of Industry and Industry, Hengshui Transportation and so on, Bai Wanqing, took the neutral position. Unfortunately, of the six departments, the Ministry of Industry and Technology was the one that was the least worth roping over. Although its status was important, it didn't have much to use.

Gu Qingli only knew a little about the powers behind the six divisions through the secret accounts of the Xuanhua Pavilion. However, a question suddenly appeared in her mind, "Who is the head of the Board of Justice?"

"The Prince? He is royal father's youngest brother and is also his direct son. royal father's mother's birth is not very high; when he was young, he was adopted as the mother of the prince. "

Gu Qing Li suddenly understood, but the questions in her heart grew bigger. At the Three Divisions Trial, the President of the Board of Justice, the Grand Court Official of the Supreme Court, and the Imperial Physician, of whom the Minister of Justice was known to be the Emperor. The other two were still unaware, but why did the President of the Board of Justice conveniently carry out Liu Zhengyan's sentence?!

She was the only one who knew that Liu Zheng was wrongly accused. Could it be that the other two were both the empress's men who, under her guidance, led the Minister of Justice astray and made such a judgment? No no, she was more inclined to say that Prince Li's mastermind was the emperor. It was the two emperors who had worked together to push Liu Zhengyan to his death … She suddenly shivered.

If this was the truth, then the Emperor must also be using this as an opportunity to suppress the Ling family!

If she hadn't brought the evidence to Imperial Concubine Ling, and the empress wanted to suppress her, would the emperor have come along with the flow?

The situation in the royal family was getting more and more complicated. She thought that she was involved, but it turned out that she just happened to be involved. She didn't even know what role she played in the situation.

However, he was certain that Xiao Yixiu had seen things more clearly than she had, and that he would be able to see things in the long run. In his plans, the Ling Family and the Lan Family were the same, on the verge of destruction.
