Yi Qing thought this was the reason why He Yanshu knew that He Yan Mulei had killed his father and elder brother, but still got along peacefully with He Yan Mulei.
After figuring this out, Yi Qing went to find Mundy again.
Mundy had been out quietly for a whole night. She didn't know if it would attract the attention of the He Yan family.
"It's okay. Don't worry." Mundy didn't care at all.
Although she didn't like the He Yan family, she had a good relationship with the servants of the He Yan family. She got along like a fish in water in the He Yan family.
"I'll ask you to do one more thing. It will be a bit dangerous." Yi Qing said the ugly words first.
"What?"
"Find the token that proves Xiang Beizheng's identity." Yi Qing said directly.
"Is there something wrong with the identity of the consort?" Mundy wondered.
"Anyway, if you think there is something strange, just take a look." Yi Qing wasn't sure what it was either.
Mundy nodded. "I know. If I find something, how can I find you?"
"I'll come to you in three days. You must be careful."
"Okay." Mundy nodded.
Xiao Jinghan took Yi Qing to find an inn. When he looked back, he saw Yi Qing lying obliquely on the bed and falling asleep. He went over and took off Yi Qing's shoes, straightened her body, and pulled a blanket to cover her stomach.
If the protection of Cixi City wasn't a bit special and the secret guards weren't convenient to move inside, he wouldn't have asked Yi Qing to do these things personally. But it seemed that she was very happy.
Qiao Ye never expected that Xiao Jinghan had actually gone to the Southern Border under his nose and burned the Ruyi Grass.
A large amount of Ruyi Cake had flowed into the capital. How could he, as the garrison on the border of southern Fujian, not know? This was also one of his incomes.
"It seems that the purpose of Xiao Jinghan coming to southern Fujian was to go to the Southern Border." Ping Xinian said suspiciously.
"What did he go to the Southern Border for?"
"You don't know this. Yi Qing has a very good relationship with the Crown Princess of the Southern Border. Now the situation in the Southern Border is deadlocked. It is estimated that Yi Qing wants to go and help the Crown Princess." Ping Xinian guessed.
"Impossible. As a general of the Great Jin, Xiao Jinghan would never do such a thing."
"No matter if it's possible or not, this is our chance. If they die in the Southern Border, it has nothing to do with us." Ping Xinian said with a smile.
Qiao Ye's eyes drooped. The King of Zhen had been in the Southern Border for such a long time. It must have been approved by the emperor. At this time, Xiao Jinghan had gone there again. It was estimated that it was also the emperor's intention.
However, ignorance was not a crime. As long as there was no imperial edict from the emperor, he could solve Xiao Jinghan first. "That's right. Your Ping family has a lot of influence in the Southern Border. I'll have to trouble Xinian this time."
Ping Xinian sneered. "Our Ping family is just a merchant. How can we have any influence? Garrison Qiao thinks too highly of our Ping family."
She wouldn't easily agree to Qiao Ye unless he gave her enough benefits.
"They burned the Ruyi Grass. This is cutting off our financial path. Xinian really doesn't care?"
"The Ruyi Grass grows once every six months. Our Ping family can wait."
Qiao Ye looked at Ping Xinian's appearance and approached her. "Don't you want Xiao Jinghan to die?"
Ping Xinian's eyes became a bit deeper. "We can only find Xiao Jinghan's whereabouts. The rest will have to trouble Garrison Qiao."
"No problem." Qiao Ye directly agreed.
When Yi Qing woke up, it was already night. Xiao Jinghan had bought a lot of food and filled the table.
"I don't know what kind of food in the Southern Border you like, so I bought some of each." Xiao Jinghan waved.
Although Yi Qing thought that Xiao Jinghan was feeding a pig, she was still very happy.
"I have a question that I can't figure out." Yi Qing looked at Xiao Jinghan while eating the dried meat.
"What?"
"If He Yanshu is pregnant with the child of the deposed emperor, why did the He Yan family expel her from the He Yan family?" Yi Qing was too sleepy before and didn't have the energy to think about it. Now that she had slept well, she still didn't forget this question.
"To show loyalty." Xiao Jinghan wiped the pepper from the corner of Yi Qing's mouth.
"Ah?"
"The royal family of the Southern Border is not very stable. Several major families in the Southern Border have the intention of taking over. If He Yanshu had married the deposed emperor, then the intention of usurpation would be obvious. Therefore, in order to show loyalty to the royal family, the patriarch of the He Yan family drove He Yanshu out of the house."
Yi Qing was surprised, but it was normal when she thought about it. There were too many twists and turns in the officialdom. She had to sacrifice at every turn. "Doesn't the He Yan family want to usurp the throne?"
"Maybe they don't want to, or maybe they aren't ready. If they aren't ready, do you think He Yanshu could marry the deposed emperor smoothly?" Xiao Jinghan was just guessing.
"You mean that the old patriarch of the He Yan family drove her out of the family in order to protect He Yanshu's life. As a result, He Yanshu resented him."
"This is a possibility. Otherwise, how could she, a woman who had been expelled from the family and was unmarried and pregnant, live so well in the Southern Border?" When Xiao Jinghan said this, he began to feel guilty again. How did Yi Qing live back then?
"That's right." Yi Qing tilted her head and thought.
Yi Qing and Xiao Jinghan rested for three days. During this period, several secret guards also entered the city and found a low city wall. There was a big tree growing there. They could leave Cixi from there using lightness kung fu. Someone was already waiting outside to pick them up.
Mundy was an exquisite person and looked very humble. She really got along well in the He Yan family. In these three days, she found a way to go to her great-grandmother's courtyard and stole a box.
She was a bit nervous waiting for Yi Qing and Xiao Jinghan. If it took too long, she was worried that she would be discovered.
"You're finally here." Mundy looked at Yi Qing and Xiao Jinghan. "Look at this." She gave the box to Yi Qing.
"Black ironwood, Lu's lock. Where's the key?" Yi Qing looked at Mundy.
Mundy shook her head. "I saw that Young Master Xiang valued this box very much. Great-grandmother also hid it very tightly, so I stole it."
Yi Qing admired Mundy. She could even steal such a thing. "But how do we open it?"
Xiao Jinghan took the box and directly twisted it. He broke the lock ring.
Yi Qing was dumbfounded. Could it still be operated like this?
Xiao Jinghan opened it and took a look. He immediately closed it.
"What is it?" Yi Qing only saw a jade carving. She didn't know what it was.
"We have to leave the Southern Border immediately." Xiao Jinghan said as he was about to leave.
"Hey..." Mundy blocked them. "I stole something. If I'm discovered, I will definitely be killed. Take me and my mother away."
Xiao Jinghan didn't hesitate. "Hurry up and pack your things."
"Okay." As soon as Mundy heard that she could leave here, she immediately went to pack her things. She had wanted to leave here for a long time.
Yi Qing saw Xiao Jinghan holding the box so solemnly. She quietly walked to Xiao Jinghan's side and got closer to him. "What's so precious?"
"The Imperial Seal."
Yi Qing directly covered her mouth.
Holy shit!
The Imperial Seal was actually here. How did that dog emperor ascend the throne?
No wonder Xiao Jinghan had such a big reaction.
"This is the place." A guard led a group of people over. "Mundy, you thief, come out quickly."
