After a pause, Su Liuyue said softly: "There is one more thing, I think you should have noticed it."

Zhou Yunke nodded and said, "Cui Mingyuan refused to admit that they planned a rebellion. The whereabouts of the eleventh prince is unknown. There must be accomplices of the Cui family somewhere else. I'm afraid the eleventh prince is not in the hands of the Cui family, but in the hands of their accomplices.

If Cui Mingyuan keeps his mouth shut, we may not be able to get any useful information from him.

But they knew that Shu was a hidden danger, but they still let her stay in the Cui family and did not want to eradicate her completely. This was not in line with Cui Mingyuan's style.

I’m afraid… Shu’s father, General Shu, who is currently stationed in Gaozhou, is also one of their accomplices.”

Gaozhou is the largest state in the north of Daqing. Following the previous dynasty, Daqing built a garrison for every three to five states, and the garrisons sent troops to defend the states under their command.

In the previous dynasty, General Shu was the general of the Gaozhou garrison, in charge of the military affairs of the five states under him.

After the founding of Daqing, the emperor sent a new general to take over General Shu's position, but General Shu still stayed in Gaozhou garrison as a deputy general. He still had a certain influence in Gaozhou garrison.

Zhou Yunke continued: "Once the news of Cui's misfortune reaches Gaozhou, General Shu will definitely know that Cui's misfortune has been exposed.

Fortunately, the general in charge of the Gaozhou garrison is my man. I sent someone to deliver a letter to him a few days ago, asking him to pay attention to General Shu's movements."

Su Liuyue nodded with a slightly serious expression.

However, how could it be possible that the Shu family was the only accomplice of the Cui family?
The Cui family’s downfall today may just be the prelude to the coming storm.

Su Liuyue suddenly turned around and looked at Wei Wuyan, who had been forgotten by them, with a cold look in his eyes, and said, "Wei Erlang, how does His Highness want to deal with him?"

Zhou Yunke was also a little confused about Wei Wuyan who ran out for no apparent reason.

He looked at him calmly for a while and said, "Take him back and put him in jail together."

Next, Su Liuyue watched Zhou Yunke ride away on horseback before getting on her own carriage.

She was thinking about the Cui family all the way, wondering why Wei Wuyan suddenly ran out as if he had walked into a trap, and then she was thinking about how the matter would develop next. It felt like a short while had passed, and she was home.

She got off the carriage, but did not rush to the room. She stood there for a while and said calmly, "Fengqi, did my father reveal any information today?"

Feng Qi immediately walked up to her and whispered, "Your Highness, Doctor Su still insists today that he knows nothing."

Su Liuyue raised her lips in surprise and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect that my father would be so stubborn."

As early as she and Zhou Yunke realized that the Cui family had the intention of rebellion, they thought that Su Weili might have an affair with him.

Otherwise, Cui Mingyuan doesn't seem like a kind-hearted person who would help the Su family solve the big trouble of General Wu without asking for anything in return.

Su Liuyue finally said calmly, "Send the message over and continue the investigation. No matter what method you use, find out as much as you can."

Su Weili should be thankful that he fell into the hands of her and Zhou Yunke.

If His Majesty knew that he was also suspected of treason, it would be more than just physical pain.

Su Liuyue immediately returned to her room, took a hot bath, changed into loose and comfortable clothes, then leaned on the bed and picked up a book to read.

Time flies, and now it is winter. Xinjing is located in the south, and the winter is not as cold and unbearable as in the north. Even now, the first snow has not fallen.

Several stoves had been lit in the room, and the whole room was warm. Compared with the cold outside, it felt as comfortable as entering a paradise.

Su Liuyue, however, had no mood to enjoy the leisurely time before going to bed. Although she was reading a book in her hand, she could not concentrate on reading many words. She would often look up towards the door after reading a few lines.

Er'an, who was sitting nearby and helping Su Liuyue sew a scarf, couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's said that newlyweds are the most clingy. Your Highness just came back a little late today because of something. Is Your Majesty thinking about Your Highness like this?"

Ersi and Er'an were unaware of their worries, and now they were still in the mood to chat with her. At this time, Ersi also came in with a bowl of freshly made bird's nest, and said with a smile: "Er'an, you have learned bad things, and you even have the courage to tease the queen. I don't know who was worried every day for the past few days that His Highness and the queen would not consummate their marriage?

In my opinion, there is no need to worry about this matter. Anyone with a discerning eye can see how good His Highness is to Her Majesty. In the past few days, he has been at home with Her Majesty every day.

The Queen told me yesterday that His Highness is always clinging to her and it’s annoying.”

Su Liuyue has not left the house for the past few days, and Zhou Yunke has indeed been sticking to her.

She previously thought that she had some basic skills in martial arts and had been exercising regularly recently, so she shouldn't be much different from Zhou Yunke in terms of physical strength.

It turned out that she had underestimated the energy of a man who had abstained from sex for more than 20 years and suddenly began to have sex.

What kind of aloof and abstinent nobleman? It's all a lie! It's a lie!

She was annoyed by someone yesterday, and when he finally went out for a while because of something, she couldn't help but complain to Ersi.

Because of them, Su Liuyue finally shifted her mind away from the Cui family's affairs. She smiled and looked at the bird's nest that Er Si brought in, "What is this?"

"This."

Er Si put the bird's nest on the small table next to her and said with a smile, "Chief Steward Jin knows that the Queen and His Highness do not have the habit of eating midnight snacks, but the Queen came back late today and did not eat lunch and dinner in the mansion. Chief Steward Jin was worried that the Queen did not know whether she had a good dinner, so he asked the kitchen to stew a bowl of bird's nest for the Queen to fill her stomach.

He said that when His Highness was busy in the past, he often did not eat well, and he was worried that Her Majesty was the same as His Highness.

The kitchen has also prepared the bird's nest for Your Highness. I will serve it to you when Your Highness returns."

Su Liuyue couldn't help but smile slightly, "Manager Jin is thoughtful, but I'm not hungry. You and Er'an can share the food."

After talking to them for a while, she let them go downstairs to rest.

Su Liuyue originally wanted to wait for Zhou Yunke to come back before going to bed, however, she waited and waited, but Zhou Yunke never came back.

At some point, her head tilted slightly and she just leaned on the bed and fell asleep.

An unknown amount of time had passed, but Su Liuyue suddenly felt vaguely that something cold was approaching her, and this thing had a pleasant smell that made her feel very comfortable.

Su Liuyue, who was feeling a little drowsy from the smoke from the heater in the room, couldn't help but move over and climb up with both hands and feet.

The next moment, I heard a low, doting laugh in my ears.

Su Liuyue, who was already sleeping soundly, woke up all of a sudden. She looked up drowsily at Zhou Yunke, who was looking down at her with a smile on his face. Then she looked down at herself, who seemed to want to put her whole body into his arms. Her mind suddenly became clearer. She coughed lightly and calmly tried to withdraw her hands and feet, "You're back?"

"Ah."

Zhou Yunke responded calmly, raised his arm, and put her in his arms again, holding her on the bed, and whispered, "Why are you sleeping like this?"

Su Liuyue blinked, looked at his handsome face so close to her, and said as if whispering, "I wanted to wait for you to come back before going to bed... it's all because of that book that was too boring."

Zhou Yunke's smile deepened, "Indeed, next time I'll go to the bookstores in the city with you to see if there are any interesting books."

It feels good to have someone collaborating with me in making up stories.

Su Liuyue couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and asked about the main business, "What happened in the palace today?"

The smile on Zhou Yunke's face faded all of a sudden. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm afraid the weather in Daqing will change soon." (End of this chapter)
