The next day, when Uncle Yang was packing the ingredients for making medicinal food, he met the men sent by Bo Jinnian, who escorted him all the way down the mountain, and the carriage went straight to the Marquis' Mansion.

Even when Uncle Yang was in the mountains, he had heard about the affairs of the Moon Eclipse Kingdom. Now that he saw the guards bringing him here, he already understood what was happening.

After arriving at Wuyayuan, he put down the ingredients and was taken to see Shen Yiran.

Bo Jinnian was worried about scaring the old man, so he sat behind the screen.

"Madam, you didn't call me here to make medicinal food this time, did you?"

Shen Yiran pursed his lips and smiled, then told him to sit down and said, "It's also for the medicinal food, and also for what I couldn't finish saying last time."

Uncle Yang nodded slowly: "I guessed it. Now I heard that the spies of the Moon Eclipse Kingdom are very rampant and want to kill Prince Xing and his family. Who wouldn't be angry?"

"Yes, you didn't know when I asked you before. Now this matter has been placed on the Marquis, and we are also very anxious."

Uncle Yang immediately said, "I don't know much, but I hope I can help Madam and Lord Marquis."

Shen Yiran personally brought a cup of tea to Uncle Yang. Uncle Yang stood up, took it, and started talking.

"In fact, at that time, spies from various countries in Kyoto became active, and they all wanted to take advantage of this incident to do something. Even the Honglu Temple was not at peace. Since then, many foreigners have died."

"There are officials and businessmen. If it weren't for this time, no one would have thought that these people were spies!"

Shen Yiran keenly noticed the key point in the words: "Could it be that the court also wanted to clean up these hidden spies at that time?"

Uncle Yang nodded: "One time when I was delivering food to the old prince, I overheard the leader of the imperial guards asking the prince to cooperate with the operation. Although the prince did not want to participate, it was the will of His Majesty, so he had to cooperate."

"So, the poison needle in the national treasure was planted by the old prince, so why did it take effect only now?"

Uncle Yang shook his head: "The old prince really knows these mechanical objects. He always loves to dismantle them every day and can completely restore them. As for whether it was installed by the prince, I am not sure."

Shen Yiran nodded: "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, Uncle Yang, please continue."

Uncle Yang nodded after hearing this: "I don't know the details, but the old prince cooperated with the operation, and it seems that someone betrayed him, which led to those people coming to the door, and the lady was killed. Alas."

After telling what he knew, Uncle Yang just sighed.

Shen Yiran thought for a moment and said, "Don't say a word about this matter. Take the medicinal food to the kitchen and cook."

Uncle Yang didn't say anything for his own safety. After hearing that everything was alright, he immediately went to the kitchen.

Bo Jinnian came out from behind the screen, and Shen Yiran turned to look at him: "What do you think?"

Bo Jinnian came over and sat down, and said in an orderly manner: "There is unrest in Yueshi now, and the poison needle this time may not be the same as the poison needle back then. This is a possibility."

"The second possibility is that the poison needle from that year has been activated now, and the Eclipse Nation wants to take this opportunity to ask Your Majesty to make concessions, so they are making such a fuss."

Shen Yiran nodded and added: "It seems that His Majesty knows the inside story. Our previous judgment was correct. It is easy to deal with the Lunar Eclipse Nation, but if someone takes advantage of the situation like before, it will be difficult to deal with."

Bo Jinnian was shocked: "So, we haven't confirmed the identities of those three people yet!"

Shen Yiran nodded: "It might be faster if we start with the disguised woman."

Bo Jinnian nodded: "This matter needs to be dealt with quickly. I will go check the details of that woman right now."

Shen Yiran did not stop him. After thinking for a while, he said, "I think the old prince should know something. I will try to get him to speak."

Shen Yiran knew that the Marquis' Mansion was not an iron bucket. In order to protect the prince and others, he needed to inform the old lady and everyone in the mansion about this matter.

So seeing that it was almost dawn, I lay down on the couch with my clothes on, closed my eyes and thought clearly about everything I needed to do tomorrow.

That day, he first ordered the guards to bring Ji Sicheng back to the mansion, and then went to pay a visit to the old lady.

When the old lady heard the seriousness of the matter, she immediately called the first and second wives to come.

Bo Jinjue is now the Minister of Personnel and is doing very well. Thinking about what happened to Tuan Tuan, he has long wanted to set up a separate household and no longer cares about the affairs of the mansion.

If the old lady hadn't sent the old nanny to invite him today, he wouldn't have come.

After the incident with Mei Niang, Bo Jinxiu's relationship with Xu improved. People whispered that he changed his mind because he saw that Xu was now able to do well.

Anyway, he and Xu were both devoted to the Marquis' Mansion, so when they heard the old lady summoning them, they came together.

The whole family gathered in Jingxin Hall. The old lady looked at her grandson and great-grandson and felt relieved for a moment, but she couldn't speak immediately.

Bo Jinjue was a little impatient: "What's the matter? The whole family is here, and I still have to rush to the government office!"

The old lady came back to her senses and said, "There is a big event. His Majesty has ordered Jinnian to investigate the case of the Moon Eclipse. You are all officials in the court, so I'm sure you all know about it, right?"

Bo Jinxiu's mind was working quickly, and he immediately responded, "I am also called an official, but I am just doing odd jobs!"

After he made a fuss about resigning from his official position, he used Bo Jinnian's connections to get a job as a clerk.

Bo Jinjue frowned and glanced at Bo Jinnian with his eyes raised: "I, a person from the Ministry of Personnel, can't help with this."

"I heard that those people have already murdered someone in Prince Xing's Mansion. If we keep them in the mansion now, won't we all be in danger? Even if they are on duty, they can't involve us, right?"

Shen Yiran didn't expect Bo Jinjue to have such a strong opinion. He couldn't speak for a moment and could only wait for the old lady to speak.

The old lady frowned and said, "Jue'er, what you said is wrong. If we can't even protect the prince, then our dynasty will be suppressed by a small country in the Western Regions. Where will our face be?"

Bo Jinjue's mouth twitched: "Anyway, it's useless for us to say it. I have to hurry to the government office. You decide!"

After saying this, he stood up and left.

Seeing that Bo Jinjue had left, Rong Qingqing immediately pulled Tuan Tuan to follow him out.

The old lady was very pleased at first, but now she couldn't help getting angry: "The whole family can't be in a relationship!"

Bo Jinxiu said while circling around: "We also want to help, but we can't. We don't dare to go out now, so we can only stay in the mansion."

Xu held Hong'er in her arms and said, "That's right. Our Hong'er is still young, so we dare not take risks!"

Shen Yiran said, "Brother is right. As long as you stay safe in the mansion, that's enough."

After hearing this, Bo Jinxiu immediately supported Xu and said, "That's good. We won't go out."

Having said that, he walked out of the Jingxin Hall and went back to his room to make plans.

The old lady sighed and looked at Bo Jinnian and Shen Yi: "Strengthen the guards. Our mansion is a military family. We must not let the thieves succeed and destroy our national prestige!"

Bo Jinnian's heart warmed up, he stood up and saluted, saying: "Yes! My grandson will definitely live up to the reputation of the Marquisate!"
