Xiao Yanqing's eyes darkened, but he regained his composure and just listened to her continue.

"Yes, I found him. He said that he would set fire to something in the warehouse tomorrow. From what he said, it should be related to His Highness."

"Setting fire to the warehouse? This... is too bold?" Qian Yun was even more shocked.

"And there was another person who discussed with Jiang Mo at that time, but I didn't see his face." He must be a colleague.

"As to whether they are going to implement it and how to implement it, it is up to Your Highness to verify it." She gestured.

"Qianyun, send someone to investigate immediately."

"It's Your Highness."

He asked, "How did you see him?"

"As for how we found Jiang Mo coming to Huanxiang Pavilion, it must be because of luck." She curved her eyebrows and smiled.

"Your Highness, is Aoi Yue your man?"

"How do you know?" Xiao Yanqing frowned slightly, and seemed more surprised than the previous news.

"Huh? Of course I know it was she who exposed herself." She didn't care at all.

"I'm just curious, Your Highness, do you want me to be like her, or to replace her?" Since Xiao Yanqing has the habit of sending women to brothels, it is natural to guess that there must be other spies in this huge brothel.

"Replacement?" He caught the word, obviously puzzled by its origin.

"Your Highness, chess pieces that are not smart enough will naturally be replaced." Kuiyue thought so, and she naturally thought so too.

"You think she's not smart enough?" Since she was his, he certainly knew the strength of his spies, he was just curious about why she said that.

"Hmm? I guess so." She played with the teacup in her hand, her eyes shining with a hint of meaning.

"At least after she saw me, she had no idea of ​​my background. She was familiar with the carriage and was trained by Hua Niang herself. She exposed her identity just because of jealousy. This is not the behavior of a smart chess piece."

"But maybe it's not that she's not smart enough, but that she trusts His Highness very much."

There were faint ripples in his deep, calm eyes. "What do you want to say?"

She fixed her eyes, blinked, and then smiled, "Yeah, what do I want to say? Hehehe."

"Good night, Your Highness." She stood up and went back to the room without lingering.

The next day.

Based on the information provided by Qing Yu, Xiao Yanqing specially asked someone to pay attention to the situation around the warehouse, and indeed found that someone had taken the opportunity to sneak in, but Xiao Yanqing did not intend to alert the enemy.

When the flames started, people were quickly dispatched to put out the fire and arrest people. The arrested people had no way of making excuses and even insisted that it was Xiao Yanqing who ordered them to do it, and revealed their intention to burn the booklet with his words on it.

But when the warehouse was counted, it was discovered that all the things that were burned were related to the Jiang Mansion. As for what was recorded in the book, it was unknown.

This confused explanation is clearly a frame-up. The facts are clear: His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of handling such trivial matters and has handed it over to the Ministry of Justice to handle.

"Brother, His Majesty has gone too far! He is clearly biased towards the Jiang family." Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenshu immediately rushed back from the military camp. He was unable to suppress his anger and was indignant.

Xiao Yanqing has long been accustomed to this, "He has always been like this, and it's not just one or two days that he favors the Jiang family."

Xiao Wenshu didn't know much about the current emperor, but Xiao Yanqing was very familiar with him. From childhood to adulthood, he had never been a kind and reasonable person.

"It's obvious that they want to frame me. Fortunately, Qingyu heard the news, otherwise I don't know how troublesome the matter would be."

Xiao Yanqing remained calm and composed, "No problem, even if they succeed, they can't do anything to me. I guess they won't dare to make any moves in the near future."

He guessed that this was not Jiang Zhuo's idea, and now they had to keep calm.

Inside the Jiang Mansion.

"Pa" Jiang Zhuo slapped Jiang Mo on the face.

"Didn't I tell you not to use these useless little tricks on Xiao Yanqing!" Jiang Zhuo was so angry that his chest heaved.

Jiang Mo lowered his head and pursed his lips, suppressing his resentment. He still couldn't figure out why he was discovered and how his plan was exposed.

"Not only can you not hurt him with this little trick, but if it is exposed, you will be dragged into trouble like you are doing now." Jiang Zhuo was really out of reach. How could he have such a stupid son? He had clearly told him so many times.

"Yes, father. I understand." Jiang Mo lowered his head and nodded timidly.

He failed this time, but there won't be a next time, never.

"Be smart about it! Don't make me clean up this mess for you."

"It's Dad."

"Useless thing! Get out!"

"Yes." Jiang Mo looked down and stepped back.

At this time, an older, mature woman walked up to him, brought him a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"Husband, don't be too angry. Although Mo'er is slow in doing things, he has good intentions." The woman raised the corners of her lips slightly. She didn't seem to be afraid of his anger. Her every move had been endowed with charm by the years.

Jiang Zhuo sighed, sat down, and took the tea handed to him by the woman. "Hey, if I didn't know, I would have punished him by family rules. It's also my fault for spoiling him too much."

"I'll have someone look after him during this period of time, and I'll trouble my husband to take care of the rest." The woman bowed calmly with an apologetic look on her face.

Jiang Mo put the teacup aside and took a deep breath. "Go and discipline him."

"It's your husband."

The woman slowly stood up, stepped back, and came into Jiang Mo's house.

When Jiang Mo saw her, he quickly stood up and walked forward, "Mother."

"Kneel down!" The woman changed her gentle tone and shouted harshly.

"Yes." After hearing what his mother said, Jiang Mo quickly knelt on the ground.

"Is it because Jiang Qingyu is gone that you take yourself too seriously?" The woman looked down at him kneeling on the ground with anger.

"Mother, I..." Jiang Mo was about to explain, but when he saw his mother's expression, he immediately shut up.

"I'm telling you, Mo'er, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're a man. In his heart, the only difference between you and Jiang Qingyu is that you have more usefulness."

The woman bluntly revealed these ruthless and cold words, and Jiang Mo did not deny it because it was the fact.

"Mother wants you to be strong and to dominate the world, rather than being a pawn. Do you understand?"

"Yes, mother. I understand."

"So, you need to grow calmly, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Don't go out for the time being."

"Yes, mother." Jiang Mo nodded in response.

"Get up." The woman's cold tone softened slightly and she leaned over to pull him up.

She looked at Jiang Mo's face that had just been hit, "Does it hurt?"

Jiang Mo shook his head, "I'm sorry, mother. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Bu Moer, everything has just begun."
