Lin Yi waved his jade bone fan as he paced back and forth. After a moment of hesitation, he said, ”I've come to ask for your help.”

”What is it? If you have any orders, just do it.” Bao Fu Huan's eyes were wide open as he curiously looked at Lin Yi.

”I want you to call Qingfeng out.” Lin Yi said.

”What's the point of calling her? Stupid and boring.” Bao Fu Yun turned his head away, refusing to look into Lin Yi's eyes.

Lin Yi had been friends with Bao Fusheng for many years, so he naturally understood his thoughts. While he said no, he was actually eager to have the opportunity to get along with him.

”I sent people to investigate. She and Su Mu are best friends. I want you to come with me to the Su family. Su Mu might be hiding something from me.” Lin Yi had always felt that his guess was right, but since the king wasn't willing to tell him, there was only one reason. Su Mu didn't want this child.

Judging from the current situation, this child truly did not come at the right time. The late emperor had not passed away, and now that he was so busy with matters, he could not marry Su Muwen into the palace before she became pregnant. Beating the child away, whether it was him or her, was the best choice.

But reason is reason, emotion is emotion. Lin Yi could not bear to part with this child.

”Then why don't you go and ask directly?” Bao Liusheng did not understand Lin Yi's thoughts.

”The empress dowager might have planted someone by my side, so I didn't dare look at Su Mu.” Lin Yi shook his head.

Bao Fu immediately understood. Lin Yi was the empress dowager's only surviving son. He was highly valued by the empress dowager, and upon reaching a certain level, he became possessive and controlled.

”If you have time, help me check on the situation with Governor Hu Rui of Zhejiang Province.” Lin Yi closed his jade bone fan and said with a straight face, ”Today, the empress dowager mentioned to me the matter of marrying Hu Rui's daughter, Hu Chi.”

Bao Fusheng's expression turned serious. ”In order to overthrow the Yan family, Hu Rui led troops to the capital and has been stationed outside the city ever since. If they really have other intentions …”

”I'm counting on you.” Lin Yi had a smile on his face as he patted the bag on his shoulder.

Bao Fu Cheng shouted, ”There's no justice in this world!” ”Is there anyone who would squeeze a patient like you?”

”I think you're doing very well. You even have the mood to tease the maid.” Lin Yi said.

Bao Fu Xu pouted.

”I'll head back to the palace first. It's so easy to settle this matter.”

”Yes, Your Majesty.” Bao Fusheng said helplessly.

Bao Liusheng sent Lin Yi away from the quiet Bao Mansion. The house was spacious and only the two of them lived in the house, while Madam Bao stayed in her own house all year round. She had even dismissed a large number of servants the year before yesterday, making it seem that the house was devoid of any fumes.

If he didn't cause trouble for Bao Fusheng, Lin Yi was afraid that he would be unable to hold his breath and cause trouble.

Bao Fu Yun waved towards the distant Lin Yi and called over the coachman of the Bao Residence to escort him to the Zhuo Residence.

Compared to the Bao Clan, the Zhuo Clan was much smaller. In the end, there was only one person, Qingfeng.

After Bao Fu told the coachman not to tell his mother about his visit to the Zhuo Mansion, he knocked on the door. The Zhuo Family butler opened the door, big and tall, with muscles visible through his wide sleeves.

The butler was expressionless at first, but when he saw the young man, his face was filled with anger.

The steward was originally a soldier under Zhuo Tianxing's command. In one battle, his leg was cut by the enemy, so he had to fight desperately. His leg was not treated properly, so he was crippled. Afterwards, Zhuo Tianxing died in battle and after Madam Zhuo lost her life, the housekeeper came to the Zhuo Mansion to take care of the Zhuo Family's eldest daughter.

Most of the people in the Bureau knew that the conspiracy had been set up by Bao Fu Sheng's father, using the lives of Zhuo Tian Xing and thirty thousand soldiers as bait in exchange for peace in the southwest.

In the eyes of the common people, no one was wrong. Bao Qingyu was a wise man, and his death was worth it. However, to the relatives and friends of the deceased, Bao Qingyu was a schemer and a villain.
