If not, then it would be suspicious to enter the palace today. If there is, then try your best to recruit someone under your command. If not...

Kill it.

General's Mansion.

"Aning, you called me over, but what happened?"

An Ning put down the pen in his hand, picked up the still-dry paper and shook it twice, "Qingcheng, this morning Nie Yuan detained Chen Ye, who was trying your father's case."

Ruan Qingcheng looked stunned, taken into custody?

"Ye Shen did not take Chen Ye into custody. Nie Shilang took Chen Shen into custody as soon as he came up." An Ning sighed softly, "His intention is obvious. Let's see if anyone in the Criminal Department has killed Chen Ye in the past few days. If so.

, then maybe some clues can be found from him, if

No, that proves that Chen Ye probably doesn't know what's going on behind the scenes. Someone deliberately gave evidence in your father's case, and Chen Ye doesn't have the ability to think about it carefully. He may have fallen into someone else's trap, plus

I was anxious to give an explanation to the court, so I tried your father's matter."

What she meant was that Chen Ye might not know what was behind the corruption case.

"But the situation is not so bad. If someone tries to kill someone, if he knows something, Nie Yuan will definitely pry the person's mouth open. Just Qingcheng, you have to prepare for the worst."

Both of their expressions became extra serious.

There is one thing that An Ning still can't figure out. The corruption of official banknotes has something to do with the Prime Minister's Palace. Most of the money fell into the hands of the prince. But why did the prince embezzle official banknotes? What would he do with such a large sum of money? In her previous life, she

No one knew about this. In the previous life, Cang Lan ascended to the throne and it was smooth sailing. There was no such thing as this, and there was no need to take such a big risk to embezzle money. What is the secret behind this hidden plot?

It's so strange, and it's getting more and more confusing.

Ruan Qingcheng looked serious and thought deeply for a moment, "Aning, what do you mean? I believe that in this world, as long as you do something, you can't leave no trace at all. Besides, with so many doubts, the prince must also

To rationalize the doubts mentioned before the Holy Master, even if they are half-truths, they are still clues."

An Ning came back to her senses and looked at the girl in front of her with her bright eyes. Her firm eyes never changed at all from the beginning to the end. An Ning stood up from her seat and took the piece of paper with dried ink.

Standing next to Qingcheng, she raised the piece of paper and Ruan Qingcheng took it.

Under Ruan Qingcheng's increasingly shocked gaze, An Ning suddenly opened the study door in front of her and saw goose down like catkins floating in, "It's snowing."

She took the snow that fell into the study with the cold wind in her hand, and watched the snowflakes melt little by little in her palm, cooling the entire palm. The temperature of the charcoal fire in the study instantly dissipated a lot, and the coolness came over her.

.

Ruan Qingcheng held the piece of paper tightly and closed the door, "If you catch a cold, don't blow the wind."

An Ning said helplessly: "I haven't seen snow in a long time." It snows in Daye in winter, but she hasn't seen it in hundreds of years.

Ruan Qingcheng had no choice but to open the door a crack and let the snowflakes drift in slightly, so that he could see the snow and not catch the cold.

"A-Ning." She threw the piece of paper into the charcoal basin at An Ning's feet. Her pupils reflected the gradually burned piece of paper, and her tone became colder like the snowflakes outside the window. "Scape,

I'm afraid this is the gentleman who entered the Criminal Department."

There is no better candidate than this one. He investigated the cases, judged the people, and destroyed the families. Canglan was at most guilty of oversight, and now in the hearts of the people, the just and moral prince from the past has returned.

Although the case was wrongly judged, I tried my best to make up for it, and I suffered a huge injustice for this.

An Ning stared straight at the gap in the door, and then shook her head, "How could a doctor from the Criminal Department do such a shady thing? He is the biggest scapegoat." She suddenly laughed, "It's the Hubu."

Hube is a member of Cang Shuo, so this would be a complete loss of face.

Ruan Qingcheng immediately thought of this, "Can the Seventh Prince be an ally?"

An Ning nodded without thinking, "Of course, he is engaged to my second sister."

Speaking of which, this wedding was rushed, and the auspicious date in the next month was calculated by Qin Tian. However, the concubine did not have too many complicated etiquette, so it would make sense if it was rushed, but she felt that she, the second sister, must not be treated as a concubine.

Welcoming the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

"The oriole catches the cicada, but the mantis is behind. Qingcheng, we will be the mantis. Not only the Ministry of Justice, but also the Ministry of Households will have to wash away the blood."

Cang Lan targeted the household department, which was exactly what she wanted. In the first life, the General's Mansion was a victim of political intrigues and was executed by Cang Shuo. This revenge was not unavenged because the time had not come. Besides, the household department was not

What a good thing, it's just fish and meat for the common people, it's domineering and blessing.

Ruan Qingcheng, standing next to An Ning, felt that An Ning's whole temperament had a hint of solemnity.

"Aning, I'm going to the Criminal Department."

An Ning nodded. She was about to say this. Looking at the weather, it was time for the Ministry of Punishment to come to Qingcheng. "Qingcheng, you can go to the Ministry of Punishment more often in the future. The less concealed the more open and honest your dealings are, the more magnanimous you will be."

Qingcheng nodded, she understood.

After Qingcheng left, An Ning turned her pen tip back and forth on the desk, frowning, and she was lost in thought.

After a while she stood up.

"Moonlight, prepare the carriage."

"Yes, miss."

She thought of Gu Qingzhao's entry into the palace yesterday, and felt a little uneasy. Although she told Gu Qingzhao yesterday that he came to the palace to do these things not because of her, but just because he wanted to do so, so if she didn't thank him, saying thank you would look down on her.

Meet Gu Qingzhao.

But she still felt uneasy. She knew that Gu Qingzhao was smart, but in the final analysis, no matter how smart he was, he was just a lonely, scholarly teacher who didn't know anything about martial arts.

After Gu Qingzhao entered the palace yesterday, many forces were bound to be watching him. He saved her yesterday, so there was no harm in going to him again today for the reason of saving her life.

Thinking of this peace, I no longer struggled, packed up and went out.

It's snowing today. It would be very nice to see the "unconventional and independent" plum blossoms in the snowy scenery. The plum blossoms were just buds when I came last time, but they must have bloomed now.

Just like last time, An Ning asked the carriage to move further away after getting off the carriage.

"Creak." Just like the previous two times, before she could knock on the door, the door opened again.

An Ning smiled knowingly, "I'm afraid Mr. Gu heard the sound of the carriage, so he opened the door."
