"Since you know more or less about the cause of death, then Vice Minister Lin, you only need to do these few things tomorrow: First, find out how many people are in Nanyue Emissary; secondly, investigate whether the Southern Moon Country has the habit of consuming Frostbite Powder; and thirdly, check if there are any suspicious people entering or leaving your residence recently. Who is most likely to throw the corpse into the well?"

Gu Qingli added, "If you hide the discovery of the body and keep it a secret, all those who know will try to keep it a secret. No matter what method you use."

"This... "Everything else is easy. All of the servants sealed their mouths …" Vice Minister Lin's expression was somewhat unsightly.

Gu Qingli thought for a moment, then took out a small bottle and handed it to him. "Each person take one pill, let them take it. "Don't worry, my medicine can't be activated, and won't break out easily. However, if I don't keep my mouth shut and use the medicine, it will make them want to die. Anyone who doesn't believe it can come here and give it a try."

Xiao Yi Xiu nodded. "Do all of this before going back and forth with me."

Vice Minister Lin bowed as he sent them off. After tossing and turning about in the middle of the night and looking at those corpses, he looked listless and haggard.

As they passed through the eaves of the main hall, Gu Qingli suddenly felt something strange. She unconsciously turned her head to see a slim figure standing at the entrance of the side hall. The red veil from the lanterns below cast a red glow on her.

When the woman met Gu Qingli's gaze, she took a step back in panic and instantly disappeared into the shadows.

From the look of his lowered eyes and the flash of divine light, he also saw the woman. It was just that she pretended not to see him, and was in a hurry to pull her away.

After exiting the Lin residence, Gu Qingli looked at Xiao Yixiu with doubt, "Your highness, do you know who that woman is?" It's Vice Minister Lin's outer chamber? "

"Do you know who she is?"

Gu Qingli didn't expect him to actually tell her, "She was once a small palace maid by the empress's side, called Liu Xin. She was chosen by the crown prince and wanted to force her into the position of secondary wife, but she wasn't willing."

"But she is deep within the palace. Could it be that Vice Minister Lin can go to the palace and fight for the bride?"

"No, but she had a relationship with him before she entered the palace. She had always thought that when she reached the age where she could be released from the palace to marry him, the Crown Prince, in order to make him give up, not only forced him to marry his wife, but also broke the rules and promoted him to assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Under both of these circumstances, he wrote a heartless letter to Liu Xin."

No wonder he became the Assistant Minister of Revenue at such a young age.

"What do I need a man like him for?" Gu Qingli suddenly became angry.

Xiao Yi Xiu smiled lightly and shook his head, "You can't judge a person by his appearance. In fact, he has never betrayed Liu Xin. Furthermore, Heartless Letter is a hidden poem. The first word he reads is' feign death and endure before you can leave the palace '."

"At that time, I had cut off that letter halfway and understood his intention. I then continued to send the letter to Liu Xin."

"But how could Liu Xin die so easily in the palace?"

"This is where his scheming comes from. Don't think that his current position was only pushed up by the crown prince. He herself is indeed outstanding." He rolled the four corners of the two pieces of paper with rice and stuck them together when folded. He knew that Liu Xin had a small habit of subconsciously swiping the tips of her fingers on her tongue when she was unable to open the pages while reading or reading. "

"Indeed, many people have this habit." Gu Qingli suddenly understood. "He drugged a corner of the letter, causing people to fall into a faked deep sleep. That's why the crown prince thought Liu Xin was really dead!"

Xiao Yixiu's smiling eyes swept over her, unwittingly tinged with a gentle pampering.

Gu Qingli suspected that she was hallucinating. She stared at him again, certain that it was a misunderstanding caused by the reflection of the light.

Xiao Yi Xiu continued speaking about Vice Minister Lin's matter. As expected, Liu Xin was rolled up and handed over to the rear palace steward for her family to take back.

Liu Xin Yuan came from a family of officials and officials, and because her father committed a crime, his family entered the palace to become slaves. Now, where would his family be? Naturally she was taken away by an impersonated family member that Assistant Minister Lin found.

Xiao Yixiu set up a trap for Vice Minister Lin to get into, and sold the house to him at an extremely low price. At first, he was suspicious, but later on she used the house's Feng Shui to clash with her master, causing Vice Minister Lin, who couldn't wait to hide Liu Xin, to fall into her trap.

Subsequently, all sorts of unfavorable news spread throughout the Imperial Court, saying that he was so young and that his status was extremely suspicious. He also bought such a luxurious mansion, and it was likely that he was secretly operating in the Ministry of Revenue to embezzle, or even embezzlement.

The person in charge of investigating this matter was Xiao Yi Mo. However, Xiao Yi Xiu stood out and claimed that he had borrowed money to buy the house for Vice Minister Lin.

Xiao Yi Mo had found all sorts of suspicious clues, but in the end, they all turned out to have nothing to do with Vice Minister Lin.

Just like that, Vice Minister Lin had mysteriously become Xiao Yi Xiu's man. Xiao Yi Mo and the crown prince were suspicious of him, and thus they were isolated. However, his personality was proud and aloof, and he was unwilling to form a relationship with Lu Li. Xiao Yi knew Lu Li's temperament, so he didn't try to rope Lu Li in.

In short, under his pressure, Vice Minister Lin was no longer a human. He was making enemies everywhere, and there was no other way but to rely on him.

Gu Qingli didn't expect him to scheme against Assistant Minister Lin like this. She was surprised and found it funny. "Then why are you making things so difficult for him at night?"

"If I don't make him kneel down, how can he lower his head?"

"Don't tell me this corpse was also designed by you?"

"Of course not." Xiao Yi Xiu's smile disappeared and his expression turned serious. "It's obvious that someone wants to do something to him. If that person isn't the crown prince, then it's someone from the Mu King."

"Of course. He's just a lowly assistant minister, how could he withstand the pincers' attacks?"

"That's because the position of Department of Revenue is more important," Xiaoyi Xiu said flatly.

"There's still the Household President's Office above us."

"The letter is his family's Lord Mt. Tai."

"Ah?" But now that you have caused a ruckus with his principal wife, won't he fall out with his father-in-law as well? "

Xiao Yi Xiu smiled. "If he were to submit to me, would I still have to worry about not being able to get back on good terms with his father-in-law?"

Gu Qingli stared at him speechlessly. It wouldn't be too much to say that he could turn black into white. Vice Minister Lin had fallen into his trap. Besides turning him into "his man", there should be no other way out.

"Since Your Highness is so clever, why don't you guess if this envoy is real or fake?"

Xiao Yi Xiu's expression became serious. After all, he couldn't do anything without knowing. He really didn't dare to say anything about the Southern Moon Envoy.

Gu Qingli saw the look of contemplation in his eyes and seemed to be considering it, "It should be true. If it's just a fake with emissary's clothes, she wouldn't waste so much effort to get Vice Minister Lin's residence." It's not as easy to bring in such a large corpse as this, but if we can't prove his crime, wouldn't that be a waste of our effort? "

"If this body is the true emissary, then who was the one who saw the emperor?"

This was also a question for Xiao Yixiu, so he had no choice but to remain silent.
