In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Chapter 484 Investigation

"It is not easy for my wife to change. My mother has been slowly promoting the children of poor families over the years, but there are almost no ones who can gain a foothold in the Fengdu court. Now my wife is the only one."

"Or because..."

"Or is it because I gave birth to two daughters? They thought that if I married their son, I could bring a descendant to their family, so they didn't care about me, and even said that they didn't break up with me." Su Yueyao said self-deprecatingly.

"There are some conflicts between my wife's family, but if it harms the interests of all of them, they will stick together, so my wife, take your time! Compared with the entire country, we hope you can be safe more."

"After the matter of Dongli Kingdom is over, let's go back to Fengdu and slowly discuss what to do!" Su Yueyao said with a sigh.

The eldest prince hugged Su Yueyao quietly, feeling her slight sense of loss. This was not something that could be achieved in one step. A large part of the queen mother's power had been taken away by the aristocratic families, and she was restricted everywhere.

By the time of dinner, everyone came back one after another except Pu An, Gong Yang Ruoyu and Cui Yiyang.

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

"There are still some people queuing up at the gate of my wife's government office to complain about their grievances. Pu Shijun and Gongyang Shijun will probably need to be busy for a while. Cui Cejun is leading the imperial guards to guard on the side." Nanfeng said.

"Then let's eat first! Ask the kitchen to save some food for them."

"I've already given instructions for the kitchen."

After everyone had their meal together, they went to the study.

"What's going on over at Xingchen East Stone Mountain?"

"The people from the Killing Pavilion have already gone in. Xu Shijun and I went up the mountain today and found that there are quite a few people inside, and there are several masters. I feel that some of them don't seem to be the people of the eldest son of the Shi family."

"My dear wife, when I entered the mountain, I saw some people with very regular footsteps. They looked like specially trained personnel or private soldiers."

"Manpower? Private soldiers? There are no troops stationed near Dongshi Mansion, where do the soldiers come from?" Su Yueyao said in surprise.

"My dear wife, I used to train private soldiers in the Xu family. I felt half of it was training." Xu Minghe said with a firm tone.

"My dear wife, I plan to take Xu Shijun to explore Dongshi Mountain tonight and take a deeper look." Xingchen said.

"Can you guarantee its safety?" Su Yueyao said with some concern.

"can."

"Then go investigate! It's best to confirm it. If it's a private soldier, we must inform His Majesty immediately."

"Nanfeng, did you and Yibai find anything in the government office?"

"Overall, there is nothing special about the wife's mansion. There is just a master watching over the study in the backyard. Sun Shijun and I sneaked in. There should be a secret room inside, but the inspection time is too short and we haven't found the mechanism yet."

"The imperial guards have surrounded the government office today. If there really is a secret room there, they will definitely take action tonight. Nanfeng, send your Fengyu Guards over as well. Have them cause trouble at the front door. You guys try to find a way to get into the study." Su Yueyao said.

"My wife, the Phoenix Feather Guards, must guard you. You cannot act on your own."

"It's a special situation now. Someone is guarding me in the dark. The Shi family dare not attack me at this time, otherwise all the officials of Dongshi Mansion will pay with their lives. Let's deal with the Shi family first!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Nanfeng and Sun Yibai stood up, bowed to Su Yueyao, and walked out.

"My dear wife, Mr. Xu and I will go prepare some things first." Xingchen also stood up and said.

"Okay! Go!"

The eldest prince and Su Yueyao were the only ones left in the study.

Su Yueyao stood up and walked to the door, still feeling a little worried.

"Your Highness, nothing should happen to them, right?"

"No, their martial arts skills are very high and ordinary people can't hurt them. My wife should trust them." said the eldest prince.

"Well then! I'm actually a little worried about them. This Shifu is greedy for money and is also training people. What do they want to do?"

"Logically speaking, Prime Minister Li and his men don't need a large number of manpower. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is the only heir to the throne and is being raised by Queen Feng. Do they want these people to control others?" The eldest prince said casually.

"Let's wait until Xingchen and the others find out!" Su Yueyao said with a sigh.

The two waited for them until midnight. Su Yueyao felt a little sleepy, but no one came back.

"My wife, go back to your room and rest! They will be fine."

"I'll wait for a while, maybe someone will come back!" Su Yueyao said yawning.

The eldest prince did not try to persuade her. He gently hugged Su Yueyao. Slowly, Su Yueyao fell asleep in the eldest prince's arms. The eldest prince gently picked up Su Yueyao, went to the bedroom, and put her on the bed.

That night, Xingchen and Xu Minghe searched for a long time while hiding in the dark in the mountains before they saw soldiers camping in a valley.

The two of them roughly inspected the area and estimated the approximate number of people, then left quietly.

Nanfeng and Sun Yibai's story was also thrilling. At the beginning, Sun Yibai sneaked into the study and saw a man in black entering the secret room of the study in the Shi Mansion.

When the person came out, Sun Yibai followed him all the way and was discovered by him halfway.

The two men fought for a long time, and waited for Nanfeng to come over before they subdued the man. However, the man bit the poison in his mouth and died the moment he was caught.

However, a booklet was found on him. Nanfeng packed it up directly and put the body away in a hidden place. Later, he asked the Fengyuwei people to take the body away.

Afterwards, the two went to the study and went straight into the secret room, where they found a large amount of gold, silver and treasures, as well as many letters. The two took all the letters away, and when they returned home, it was already dawn.

Su Yueyao woke up at dawn.

There was no one in the room at this time, so Su Yueyao got up and put on her clothes. Qingyu, who was at the door, bowed to her immediately when he saw her.

"I've met the queen."

"Where are His Highness and the others? Have they returned?"

"Servant Nan and Servant Sun have returned. They were slightly injured and are being bandaged. Your Highness is watching."
