The Field Marshal, Su Qi, was the father of the empress, Su Ruji. Yun Shang leaned against the wall of the carriage and thought to herself, 'is it possible that the person Jiang Nuxi said who has been behind Gu Zhaoge to be the Field Marshal?' Or, was it the empress?
When they arrived at the gate of the Lord Hua Guo's mansion, Yun Shang saw many soldiers surrounding the mansion, and many of the people of the Lord Hua Guo's mansion were standing at the gate, staring intensely at the Field Marshal who was sitting on a chair at the gate and drinking tea leisurely. Yun Shang gave a brittle laugh and got off the carriage. She said with a smile, "how carefree you are, Field Marshal. How can you serve tea in front of the Lord Hua Guo's mansion with your soldiers at such an early hour. But it's a little hot today. It feel comfortable at this hour. I'm afraid the heat will be hotter for you to bear after the sun comes out. "
On hearing this, Su Qi turned to Yun Shang with a flash of disdain in his eyes, "I'm not here for tea. A servant of the Lord Hua Guo's mansion came to report that there is evidence of treachery in the Lord Hua Guo's mansion. I'm here to protect the evidence from being destroyed. You'd better not meddle in it for you are a woman. "
"Really?" Yun Shang walked to the gate slowly and comforted those people who were emotionally excited in the Lord Hua Guo's mansion. She turned around and said, "maybe I'm not familiar with the law of the state of Xia. I didn't know that you, Field Marshal, have the right to search the mansion of the No. 1 courtiers?"
"Lady Rui, please mind your words. Have you ever seen me searching the mansion? I'm just afraid that the evidence will be destroyed and I'm here to protect the evidences. I've also asked his majesty to issue the imperial edict, and after that, we can search this mansion. " The Field Marshal said with a smile, touching the beard on his face.
"Really? I see now. " Yun Shang remained calm, straightened her sleeve, and turned to Qian Yin. "I heard that it is of great importance for the Field Marshal to be in charge of the Imperial Army. If anything happens to the Field Marshal, the state of Xia will be in danger as well, and the tens of thousands of soldiers of the state of Xia will be like a man without his head. Such an important person should be protected well, too. We should also protect Field Marshal's family well too. Go send for my order to gather all the secret guards of the Prince Rui's mansion, guards and servants. Go to the Field Marshal' mansion and make sure his family are all okay. "
The people in Lord Hua Guo's mansion looked at each other after hearing her words. Lord Hua Guo's eldest son smiled as well and said, "In fact, we also have hundreds of guards who are not in our mansion right now. We can transfer hundreds of guards in the guard camp in the suburb of the city there. This miss, please take them with you." Then he took out a black token from his waist and handed it to Qian Yin.
When Su Qi heard that, his face immediately turned gloomy. He slapped on the chair armrest and shouted angrily, "how dare you!"
