Master Ruan smiled and tried to smooth things over: "I'm sorry to have kept Miss Shangguan waiting for so long. It's true that I didn't entertain her well and neglected her."

"Master, you are joking. This young man Nian must have something extraordinary, that's why you two are having such a pleasant conversation. I am just a young girl, so naturally I can't say anything. Originally, I came here to ask about Nian Guiyun. Master, you are busy, I will come another day." Shangguan Haitong bowed.

When she turned around, Master Ruan hurriedly stopped her: "Miss Shangguan, wait a minute. Sit down and talk slowly if you have something to say."

"Okay." Shangguan Haitong sat down without hesitation.

Captain Nian bowed and said, "Nian Guiyun is my son. What do you want to ask, young lady?"

The maid brought tea.

Shangguan Haitong picked up the tea and slowly scraped the foam with a smile: "It's just that my fourth brother was curious for a moment, how could the son of a captain of police enter the Imperial College to study. He came home and told me about it. I was also curious, so I came here to ask."

Master Ruan explained: "Captain Nian and I have some friendship. Since he came to ask for help in person, how can I not help him?"

Shangguan Haitong drank his tea slowly.

General Nian belongs to the Third Prince, and Master Ruan, who is familiar with him...

It seems that in the dark, many people support the third prince.

But she only saw the surface in her previous life. Nian Guiyun stood in front of the stage, and behind the scenes was a huge force.

It is complex and difficult to explore.

So my cousin in the previous life, who was the queen mother, had to return the power.

Because it's not really under control.

Shangguan Haitong lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her lips slightly.

All of this could be attributed to either the Imperial Concubine or the Third Prince.

Now that she knows about it, don't expect it to be as smooth as in the last life.

Shangguan Haitong put down the teacup and turned around: "I see. It's my fault for being suspicious. The surname Nian is rare, and I thought it was an old friend of the imperial concubine. When I went to visit my cousin before, I overheard it and took it to heart. I really shouldn't have done that."

Captain Nian and Master Ruan were silent. Miss Shangguan's cousin, the concubine of the third prince...

Shangguan Haitong raised her eyes and smiled faintly: "If that person is still here, he will surely be able to relieve the Imperial Concubine's current worries."

Captain Nian immediately asked, "What is the Imperial Concubine worried about? Perhaps I can solve one or two of them."

"Alas." Shangguan Haitong sighed, "Why else? Did you know that the commander of the Beijing Suburban Camp died of drunkenness? There was a huge uproar in the court, and the candidate for the commander has not yet been decided. The most likely candidates are none other than the two deputy generals below."

Master Ruan nodded: "Miss Shangguan, what you said makes sense. Could it be that the Imperial Concubine has someone in mind?"

Shangguan Haitong looked at Captain Nian and said, "Although the Imperial Concubine and the Third Prince tried their best to build momentum for Zhu Changji, he was implicated because of his appointment as the commander. As for the other deputy general, many people also recommended him. It is still unknown who will win."

"Another deputy general?" Captain Nian frowned slightly.

"Yes. His name is Jia Kong. Clearly, several people went to drink together, but he returned to the camp first and stayed out of it. No wonder the Fourth Prince praised him for his steadiness in front of the civil and military officials." Shangguan Haitong did not make it up, but just misinterpreted the meaning.

In the court that day, the emperor asked about the selection of the commander. Names were mentioned one by one, and Jia Kong was no exception.

The Fourth Prince knew very well that the Emperor would be more satisfied with people who seemed to have no background, so he mentioned it specifically.

As a result, Jia Kong's name was rejected on the spot. The emperor just passed it over with a mediocre sentence.

However, after Shangguan Haitong relayed the story, Captain Nian and Master Ruan couldn't help but feel that Jia Kong had some relationship with the Fourth Prince.

Shangguan Haitong is not afraid of their investigation.

Jia Kong is a sneaky person by nature, and everything he does will leave clues.

This person is not without background, there must be someone behind him. As for who it is, Jia Kong kept it a secret and could not find out.

But such information was enough for Captain Nian.

Master Ruan felt awkward: "The emperor will make the final decision on state affairs."

"Master is right." Shangguan Haitong smiled. What would General Nian do?

A roundabout solution or a quick solution?

Captain Nian seemed to be thinking about something and stood up to say goodbye.

Master Ruan saw him off and turned back to ask, "Miss, who do you think he is?"

Shangguan Haitong looked around and said, "Master, please be careful about sister Yi's marriage. The road you have paved for her and the care you have taken for her may not necessarily bring her happiness. Sister Yi just wants to find someone she loves to spend her life with. If she marries someone she doesn't love, it would be more painful than killing her."

Master Ruan frowned and thought carefully.

Shangguan Haitong bowed and said, "That's all I have to say. I hope you take care. I'll take my leave."

Having said this, she left the house.

After returning to the mansion, Shangguan Haitong asked people to deliver two letters.

One for Sixth Master and one for the Prince.

Huan Shuang was puzzled: "Since the emperor has already decided on the commander, why hasn't he issued an order yet?"

Shangguan Haitong smiled faintly: "He is waiting for those evil spirits to surface. He may not settle accounts with them now, but later..."

As long as the imperial edict is not issued, the people below will not be content. They will try every possible means to grab that position.

The Third and Fourth Princes had stopped their actions, but the Crown Prince might not. It was just that it was difficult to get news from the palace, so we didn't know what the Crown Prince was doing.

Shangguan Haitong seemed to be thinking deeply. "The eunuchs who purchase goods leave the palace from the first quarter of the evening to the third quarter of the evening. Send someone to keep an eye on them. I want them to meet in half a month at the earliest and a month at the latest. Not knowing the news from the palace like this is like being blind."

Huan Shuang nodded: "I have ordered people to keep an eye on it. The person has been identified, and we are just waiting for the right time."

Thinking of something, Shangguan Haitong changed the subject: "Wait for fourth brother to come back and ask him to come over."

"Yes." Huanshuang took the order and passed it on.

in the afternoon.

Shangguan Chi came back from the Imperial College happily. The servant was waiting at the door to invite him in.

Shangguan Chi came to Luowan Courtyard happily, sat down and ate some snacks: "Big sister."

"Eat slowly, no one is trying to snatch the food from you. Why are you so hungry?" Shangguan Haitong asked the maid to serve tea so that she wouldn't choke.

Shangguan Chi took a sip of tea and ate more slowly. "Teacher Wang asked me to study every time after class, which was really too difficult for me. I thought about it and asked Nian Guiyun to go instead of me. He will teach me when he comes back. You don't know, his teaching is very interesting. I can understand it too."

Shangguan Haitong smiled and said, "They have done you such a big favor, why don't you invite them to your home?"

"Oh no. I forgot." Shangguan Chi slapped his forehead in annoyance, "Tomorrow, I will bring him back tomorrow."

Shangguan Haitong waved and ordered: "This is the first time that the Fourth Young Master has brought a friend home, you must serve him well."

Huan Shuang Fu Shen: "Yes."

Shangguan Chi smiled embarrassedly: "Sister, don't bother too much, so as not to scare him."

"Look, you're already worried about me after only knowing each other for a short time. It's not easy for you to have a good friend, so what's wrong with me treating you well?" Shangguan Haitong joked.

"Okay. Just don't be too exaggerated." Shangguan Chi now felt like he was soaking in a honey pot.

Going to school is fun, and going home after school is also fun. If you are so happy every day, going to school is not a scary thing.

Huanshuang looked worried.

The fourth young master is too naive...
