The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 438 What do you think Situ Lian wants most?

Li Mulan didn't stop for a moment and went straight back to the inn.

Huo Yuanruo, Li Xiaoqi and Jianqi were all awake and waiting for Li Mulan.

Especially Jian Qi, he has been feeling a little uneasy recently. In this world, he only has Long Yi as a relative, so he is very worried at the moment.

"Master, have you seen my elder brother? Where is he now?"

Li Mulan glanced at him but did not respond. She just said "Come in" and went back into the house.

Li Mulan picked up the paper and pen on the desk and began to write and draw. Huo Yuanruo and Li Xiaoqi did not interrupt. But Jian Qi was a little impatient, "Master, have you seen my elder brother?"

Li Xiaoqi, who was standing by, nudged him with his elbow and said, "Do you understand the rules? Can't you see that the master is busy?"

Jian Qi pursed his lips and finally said nothing.

Li Mulan wrote and drew for half an hour before she put down her pen.

She handed a stack of papers to Li Xiaoqi and said, "Within three days, I want this news to be known to everyone in the city."

Li Xiaoqi took it and flipped through a few of them casually. "Wow, if this information gets out, won't the Northern Qi court be in chaos?"

Li Mulan didn't respond, and handed him another map. "This is the general layout of the Prince's Mansion. The bench and chopsticks can be used as a backup inside. You and Jian Qi should study carefully to see how to expose the basement of the Prince's Mansion to the public. Within three days, I want the people of Ronghe City in Northern Qi to see with their own eyes that those bodies left the Prince's Mansion."

She just didn't believe that Situ Lian could deny it. Even if he wanted to deny it, he had to control the gossips. He had pretended to be gentle and elegant for so many years, and now, he was going to let him completely expose his true nature.

Jian Qi heard his name and glanced at the map in Li Xiaoqi's hand. He was amazed by the way Li Mulan drew the map. She could present the layout of the Prince's Mansion so simply and clearly. He had never seen a simpler and clearer map than this.

Li Mulan then looked at Jian Qi, "Your elder brother is in the dungeon of the Prince's Mansion now, but don't worry, he is fine for now. I will pick him up in a few days."

When Jian Qi heard the news, his face darkened. "Dungeon? Why is it in the dungeon? Why did the master let my elder brother stay in the dungeon instead of thinking about rescuing him?"

"I have my reasons for doing things, and I don't need to explain them to you. You just need to do what I assign to you. If you don't want to, you can leave now."

Jian Qi was angry, but for the sake of his elder brother, he held it back.

Li Mulan knew that he was not convinced, but she was too lazy to pay attention. Time was running out, and she had to find her sister as quickly as possible. If she waited one more day, her sister would be in more danger.

Seeing that Li Xiaoqi and Jianqi both had things to do, Huo Yuanruo felt uncomfortable, "Little Master, what should I do?"

"Come with me. Tomorrow, we will follow Situ Lian."

Ban Deng said that Situ Lian usually lived a very regular life. He was either in the palace or in the mansion, and didn't socialize much. When he had nothing to do, he would practice calligraphy in the study. He had never seen such a boring person.

Qingyu was originally placed in the secret room of his study, but now it has been moved. Since he has no other place to go except the palace and the prince's mansion.

Li Mulan concluded that Qingyu was either in the palace or the prince's residence. But her intuition told her that the chances of her being in the palace were greater.

After everything was arranged, Li Xiaoqi and Jian Qi left.

Huo Yuanruo was originally going to leave with them, but when he saw Li Mulan still writing and drawing on the desk, he stayed.

"Uncle Master, do you want to take a rest first? It's almost dawn, and if you don't take a rest, you won't have time to sleep today."

Li Mulan shook her head, frowning, "I can't sleep, so I might as well make some arrangements."

"You don't have to be so anxious. Didn't the master say that Sister Qingyu is safe now?"

"Well, that's not what I'm worried about."

"Then what are you worried about?"

Li Mulan sighed and put down the pen in her hand. "My sister returned to Northern Qi to seek revenge on Situ Lian. But she died before she could get her revenge. Even if I rescued her, she might not be willing to leave with me."

Huo Yuanruo blinked his eyes. "So Junior Master wants to deal with Situ Lian completely? Then wouldn't it be better to just kill her?"

"Killing him is easy, but clearing the injustice for General Zhenbei's family is much easier said than done. Moreover, if Situ Lian were to die so easily, it would be a bargain for him. He has done so many unscrupulous things, and it is not that easy for him to die."

Huo Yuanruo got goosebumps when he saw his junior uncle's cold smile. "Then... then what do you want to do?"

"How to do it?" Li Mulan stroked her chin, "What do you think Situ Lian wants most?"

Huo Yuanruo scratched his hair and said, "He is the crown prince of Northern Qi. What he wants most is probably to be the emperor."

"Well, that seems to be true. Then first of all, we must destroy his qualification to sit on the supreme throne."

"This isn't that difficult, right? If the things you just gave Xiao Qi were to be exposed, he would definitely be finished. Which country would allow such a person to continue to be the crown prince? Or even the emperor?"

"Just watch."

Li Mulan glanced out the window and said, "Since you can't sleep either, can you help me deliver something to the Zhennan General's Mansion?"

"General Xuanyuan Hong of Zhennan? Why is Junior Master-Uncle interested in him?"

"I had no interest in him at first, but I heard that he had been fighting like a black-eyed chicken with Zhuge Wenqing, the right prime minister of Northern Qi, in the court recently. Zhuge Wenqing is Situ Lian's man, so naturally I have to help Xuanyuan Hong."

"Oh, I see. The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Li Mulan raised her eyebrows and put what she had just written into the envelope, "Go early and come back early."

Huo Yuanruo curled his lips and said, "If you don't let me sleep, you will make me work."

"I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some hot soup dumplings for you to eat when you come back."

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

When Huo Yuanruo heard that there were soup dumplings to eat, he ran faster than a rabbit. The Zhennan General's Mansion was only two streets away from here, so he should be able to come back and eat soup dumplings soon, hehehe.

Soon it was daylight.

Situ Lian got up early as usual to attend court.

But today in the court, Situ Yue's uncle Xuanyuan Hong got evidence from somewhere and accused Zhuge Wenqing of accepting bribes, being a pedophile, and even embezzling nearly 200,000 taels of military pay.

As soon as this incident came out, the whole court was in an uproar.

Xuanyuan Hong and Zhuge Wenqing had a heated argument in the court, and the entire court was in chaos.

But Xuanyuan Hong actually produced evidence, and even the Northern Qi emperor looked at Zhuge Wenqing with a bad face. If it was just a small bribe, or even a pedophilia, the emperor would not care.

But those 200,000 taels were military pay, and Zhuge Wenqing dared to embezzle them, which made him very unhappy.
