I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1222 Your Majesty the Empress: Do I have a strange constitution?

Su Chang'an didn't react for a moment when he heard Su Zimu's words, "Huh?"

Before Su Chang'an could say anything more, Su Zimu smiled and said, "I didn't think much of letting your mother see them, but when I saw that Madam Wei from the Anshan Marquis's family had that rare medicine, I wondered if you knew about it, so I specifically said I would exchange it for money or other valuable items."

Su Chang'an took off his mask and blinked at Su Zimu, who had a smile on his face. "Huh? Ah!"

Su Zimu continued, "And about the screen you knocked over, although I don't understand martial arts, you are one of the most powerful people in the world today, aren't you? But not only did you knock over that screen, you also suddenly appeared when Madam Wei was talking about you and His Majesty. That was deliberate, wasn't it? I'm just curious, did you know beforehand or did you notice that she was doing it on purpose?"

Su Chang'an pursed his lips, wondering why Su Liu Shi hadn't returned yet. He thought, "Hurry up and discipline your husband! What is he thinking?"
The screen collapsed on its own; all I did was pull my clothes. And that stool—with Linhan's handiwork, how could it not break?

But when Su Zimu mentioned his martial arts, to be honest...
The dignified Grandmaster of the Triple Demonic Realm, the invincible and handsome Red Dust Immortal, tripped and fell over because he couldn't sit properly. To be honest, it was a bit embarrassing.

So, looking into Su Zimu's eyes, he said seriously, "Father, you saw right through me. But if I say it's really not true, would you believe me?"

Su Zimu smiled and waved his hand, then continued, "I'm just curious how Madam Wei saw through you. People who have seen a lot of people can recognize you now, but Madam Wei must have only met you once or twice, and that was when you weren't wearing a mask."

As he spoke, Su Zimu noticed that Su Liu had returned. He stood up to open the door and said, "And he also made Madam Wei think that you were from the Shence Mansion and waited for him. I didn't expect how he did it. But it doesn't matter. As long as things are done, that's all that matters. I'm not a gossip. You have your way, and I won't ask any more questions."

Su Chang'an looked at Su Zimu: "Actually, I don't know how I figured it out either."

Su Zimu ignored it. As a leisurely duke, it was better for him not to know about the things and methods in the court.

Moreover, if it were possible to tell, the child would naturally have told me, but if that were the case, it would definitely not be acceptable, so I did not ask.

As they were talking, Madam Su Liu entered the room and overheard what was happening. She immediately realized that Su Chang'an had set up the scheme. She looked at Su Chang'an and scolded him, "Next time you do this, give me a heads-up beforehand. I don't know what to do. It's a good thing your father is here. If it were just me, I wouldn't know how to cooperate with you."

Su Chang'an looked at Su Liu Shi, then at Su Zi Mu.

how to say.

Please allow me a moment to process this; there's just too much information to cover.

So many things have happened in a muddled and inexplicable way.

After helping Su Liu Shi sit down, Su Chang'an said earnestly, "Mother, believe me, it's all just my father's wild guesses."

Madam Su rolled her eyes at Su Chang'an, then couldn't help but smile: "Yes, yes, just guessing. Don't worry, we'll pretend we don't know!"

Su Chang'an curled his lip. These two are obsessed. I've already said I don't know, but they're still like this.

After smiling, Su Liu said, "I think Madam Wei really doesn't know anything, and she doesn't dare to say much. On the other hand, Madam Zhang is very straightforward. She has no bad intentions, but she's also not very cunning. She's not exactly a gossip, but she's very quick to speak. You know about her family. She's willing to risk her life for her children. I think she really is here to talk about her stepson."

Su Chang'an nodded.

But something started popping into his head: what his wife had said, 'Su Chang'an, are you some kind of strange person? Why do you always manage to solve things somehow, even in a daze, after you go out?'

I.
Is it a strange constitution?

Aren't the main characters the cats and the others? They're all just protagonist templates, and I'm just a supporting character.

Su Zimu smiled and said, "Madam, this matter is of great importance. These people have ulterior motives and are lurking in the capital. It is important to get rid of them as soon as possible."

Everyone says how clever Chang'an is, but this is the first time Su Zimu has ever witnessed Chang'an's planning and execution firsthand.

Although it was a small matter, I never expected that it would be so easy to trick Madam Wei.

Moreover, the results obtained were so significant.

However, Su Zimu looked at Su Chang'an and said, "What Madam Zhang said seems to be true to me. However, I have been to that [Ren Jun Ting] teahouse once."

Su Chang'an was both amused and exasperated. Looking at Su Zimu, he thought, "He must be really bored. Otherwise, why would he be thinking about so many things?" He then said, "Father, that teahouse belongs to the Left and Right Thirteen Valiant Guards."

There was no need to say more. Hearing this, Su Zimu understood immediately and nodded. However, she still asked, "What's next? It's not convenient for too many people to know while you're here. Should I go see your grandfather and your second uncle? Although I can't participate, I can tell that your grandfather is a bit upset about this. After all, it concerns you, and he's really angry about it."

Su Liu added, "Your grandfather cares about those rumors even more than we do."

But after saying that, he frowned: "But your grandfather clearly knows you are a boy. However, because he loves you so much, he can't tolerate anyone saying a bad word about you."

Su Chang'an looked surprised: "You know I'm a man? You figured it out?"

Su Liushi said, "I don't know."

Su Chang'an was somewhat happy, but he wasn't in a hurry to have a drink with the old man and complain about his life. Instead, he looked at Su Zimu and Su Liu and said, "Father and Mother, let the two ladies go back. Madam Wei promised her that everything was fine, so everything is fine. But tell her that she doesn't need to lie. She can just tell us what she saw and heard when she gets back."

Su Zimu frowned: "Won't this alert the enemy?"

Su Chang'an shook his head: "It's not that bad, someone went with them."

Su Zimu immediately asked, "Are you going to come along?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Su Liu grasped Su Chang'an's hand.

Su Chang'an said, "What am I going to do? I'll have someone go with me. Besides, I'm going back to the palace soon, so I don't want your daughter-in-law to nag me."

Madam Su breathed a sigh of relief, but upon hearing the following words, she gently patted Su Chang'an's hand: "Don't talk nonsense."

Su Chang'an chuckled. If he went back now, the person would probably still be asleep, and Aunt Yan would be guarding the door. There was no way he could get back.

Besides, I encountered this situation out of the blue, so I might as well go and take a look. After all, the fish have already taken the bait right in front of me, so why not go and check it out?

There's no way around it, I'm destined to be a hard worker.

Especially since it was his own wife fishing.

He's his own wife, so he'll spoil her.

Seeing Su Liu's expression, Su Zimu realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't say anything more. He just looked at Su Chang'an and could tell that Chang'an was planning to go and see for himself.

A little worried.

Seeing Su Chang'an smile at him, Su Zimu sighed, knowing he couldn't persuade him otherwise, and nodded.

When it was time to see Madam Zhang and Madam Wei off, it was Su Zimu who personally saw them off, as Madam Su Liu was ultimately unwell.

Madam Zhang was flattered, but she smiled and thanked her.

Madam Wei, however, remained anxious and uneasy. Even though Su Zimu kept assuring her that she was alright, she couldn't truly feel at ease after what she had done.

As he left the Su residence, he looked back at Su Zimu at the gate every few steps before finally getting into his carriage and leaving.

Su Chang'an did not follow immediately, but continued to talk with Su Liushi for a while.

Before leaving, Su Zimu watched Su Chang'an whisper to Su Liu Shi behind her back, "You're about to become a father, be careful in everything." This was the first time Su Chang'an had heard such a warning, and he nodded in agreement.

As Su Chang'an was leaving the Su residence, she had intended to tell Su Qingning, "I've settled your marriage arrangements!"

But after thinking about it, I decided against it. It felt wrong and I felt bad for the girl.

Lady Wei sat in her carriage, unaware that the Empress, whom she longed for, was following her carriage from somewhere behind, or perhaps she simply had no time to think about it.

She just rubbed her hands together, thinking about how to go back and tell her husband.

As Wen Yuan Gong told her, she could tell him everything she had discovered that night, without hiding anything.

but.
Can you really say it?

How should I put it?

She knew she had messed things up, but as a gynecologist, she wouldn't normally do something like that.

But the thought that those people hold dirt on my company, and if that dirt gets handed over, everything will be over.
Madam Wei frowned, wondering if she should go back to the mansion and talk to the old lady about this matter.

At the entrance of the Earl of Anshan's mansion, Earl Anshan paced back and forth. Ever since he learned that his wife had successfully entered the Su family mansion, he had been waiting here.

He was genuinely anxious and worried about his wife, knowing full well that she would never do such a thing; she was such a timid person.

The next instruction was to wait at the door for his wife to return, and then ask her at the door.

An Shanbo also knew that although he appeared to be alone at the entrance, there might be martial arts masters lurking in the shadows.

Anxiously looking up at the market street, when he saw a carriage coming from around the corner, and especially when he saw that the little bird lantern hanging on the carriage belonged to his family, An Shanbo immediately ran over.

But just by looking at his wife, An Shanbo knew things were going to get bad.

Not only An Shanbo, but also two people on a rooftop not far away, looking at the terrified Madam Wei, the younger one spoke up: "Senior brother, did this woman mess things up?"

The man with the goatee shook his head as he listened to the conversation below: "They didn't mess it up. They weren't expecting this woman to do anything anyway, and besides, they already know that Her Majesty the Empress didn't go to the Su residence, right?"

The young man glanced at Madam Wei: "So, the Emperor is really ill?"

The man with the goatee paused for a moment, then said, "Judging from this, he's really sick. But this isn't our idea; it's those people's. We two are just responsible for relaying the message."

The young man shrank back, lying on his side on the rooftop, listening to the couple's conversation. "Senior brother, didn't they say that the Shence Prefecture and that Di Ting were very powerful? We're in this state, and they still haven't found us. Moreover, so many officials have been caught red-handed, yet they haven't made a single move."

The man with the goatee squinted at Madam Wei's expression: "That's because we hid well. It doesn't mean they're weak. Besides, those people have been hiding for so long, they must have some tricks up their sleeves. Don't you see them contacting these people normally? They only come to us when necessary, looking for those who can do this without arousing suspicion."

After saying this, the man with the goatee looked at his nonchalant junior brother and said, "Master said that once we finish this matter, we can leave. When we return to the mountain gate, he will arrange a marriage for you."

When this topic came up, the young man got excited: "I want a big butt and big breasts."

The man with the goatee smiled and said, "Go tell your master."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "Let's go, that's about it."

The young man stood up and dusted himself off.

He then followed his senior brother into the darkness.

Meanwhile, the Anshanbo couple continued talking.

In another location, three people dressed as Nightwalkers stood up from the rooftop, their gazes fixed on the spot where the two brothers had just disappeared.

Perhaps seeing the two leave, the three exchanged glances and then quietly jumped off the roof and left.

"From the Shence Prefecture?" Su Chang'an, also in the shadows, lifted his mask and glanced in the direction where the three had disappeared, holding an oil cake in his hand.

After saying this, Su Chang'an didn't say anything more. Without looking at the couple, An Shanbo and his wife, on the ground, he lightly leaped and followed in the direction where the two brothers had just disappeared.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace, inside the Lingqi Pavilion.

"Your Majesty, as you predicted, they really couldn't hold back any longer." Li Xizhi had just received a carrier pigeon from his subordinate and immediately went to the emperor's side.

Xia Fengxiang had only been awake for a short time. He hadn't had such a sound sleep in a long time, and he was in good spirits when he woke up.

The only downside.

I felt uneasy not seeing Su Chang'an's sly smile when I opened my eyes.

But it doesn't matter.

Sitting at the low table, Xia Fengxiang said, "After all, they are even more anxious than we are. It's an inevitable trend. If they don't seize such a good opportunity, they will never have another chance."

Li Xizhi looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Your Majesty, I don't quite understand. Even if you are ill, what can they do? Simply spreading rumors about you and the Empress doesn't mean much."

Xia Fengxiang looked at Li Xizhi, smiled, and said, "Uncle, you used to be so smart. Did you often read those books with Grandpa Luo?"

Upon hearing His Majesty say this, Li Xizhi looked embarrassed, and for no apparent reason, he recalled the incident when he and Old Master Luo were caught spying on each other during their southward journey.

Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "Rumors are never a big deal. What's important is the official document that leaves the capital."

Li Xizhi looked at Xia Fengxiang, even more puzzled.

Xia Fengxiang continued, "Whether it's selling grain or selling armor privately, it all comes down to inspections when passing through towns. No matter how good the local official documents are, they can't compare to the official documents from the Six Ministries in the capital. Fifteen ships of grain were switched, and no one noticed. It was only when they boarded the ships in Jiangling that Gu Gangmin noticed it. Before that? Were the people in those towns and those shipping companies blind? Maybe they took money, but what I was thinking was that I had obtained the official documents from the capital."

"And then there's the matter of the armor. It's much easier to spot than the grain, yet it was discovered and investigated by a merchant, and reported by two merchants from the Western Regions. It couldn't have been just this one sale; there must have been many before, but no one noticed along the way. Uncle, this is also my fault. I kept thinking that after dealing with the big issues, I could slowly resolve these internal troubles, or that they would realize the situation on their own. But I was too optimistic about them."

Li Xizhi looked at Xia Fengxiang: "You mean, if you fall ill, the court officials will become even more unscrupulous? Especially since the matter of grain and armor has only just been discovered, they need a bigger one?"

Xia Fengxiang looked down at the tea that Maomao had brought over. "I just wanted to test them out. I didn't expect them to actually take the bait. But that also means they're getting anxious. And the more anxious they are, the more likely something is to happen in Sichuan."

After a moment of silence, Li Xizhi clasped his hands and said, "I will go to the Prince of Yue's residence and ask Sister Yan to come with me. Just in case they have found a Grandmaster of the Jianghu, since the Jianghu people who come are too diverse, and it would be bad if there were something fishy going on."

Xia Fengxiang nodded, but as soon as he picked up his teacup, he looked at Li Xizhi and said, "Su Chang'an went to the Su residence, right?"

Li Xizhi clasped his hands and bowed: "Your Majesty is unaware. With Her Majesty's current strength, if he does not wish to be found, we will not be able to find him either."

Xia Fengxiang frowned: "If he didn't go to the Su residence, or if he went and left immediately, and only had five coins on him, where could he have gone?"

As he muttered to himself, Xia Fengxiang looked at Maomao and said, "Is he getting into trouble again? He's always like this when he leaves the palace."
