The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 785 Taoist Qingchen

"Jiang Suining, although I admire you and value you, you should not be too presumptuous." Queen Shi said in a warning tone.

I have already asked them to leave, but Jiang Suining still wants to pester me.

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. Since Your Majesty does not want to say it, I will not ask any more questions. I just want to tell Your Majesty that I will continue to investigate."

"Can't you just rebuild it in another place? Even if Prince Su occupied your academy, he didn't say he would close it. You can just choose a new location." Queen Shi said in a puzzled tone.

"My queen, we can indeed choose a new location, but not to mention the inconvenience and trouble that will come with choosing a new location, and it's not fair."

"It's good enough that the women's college can continue to operate. Is fairness so important?"

After all, he is Prince Su. Do Jiang Suining and the others want to fight with Prince Su?

Jiang Suining said: "If it is just a one-time injustice, maybe we can let it go, but if we don't find out Prince Su's true purpose, how can we be sure whether this will be the last time, or whether there will be other troubles in the future."

"He is Prince Su, the emperor's uncle. Even the emperor has to take him into consideration. It is only natural for you to be patient and give in."

"Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. Logically, everyone should respect and yield to him. There should not be any neglect or disobedience. But have you really always done this, Empress?"

Jiang Suining's sudden question stunned Empress Shi.

Mammy spoke quickly: "How dare you, you actually dare to question the relationship between the Emperor and the Empress!"

"I am sorry for my words, please forgive me, Your Majesty." Jiang Suining knelt down again.

Queen Shi looked at her for a long time before waving her hand, signaling her to stand up.

"Well, you didn't say anything wrong."

"Your Majesty..." The nanny's expression changed.

"There is nothing to deny. The people in the harem are not fools. They can see it naturally. Even the emperor should be clear about it."

She was indeed tired of playing the role of a virtuous queen.

As for other people's opinions and comments, she no longer wanted to care about them.

Looking at Jiang Suining in front of her, Queen Shi sighed helplessly.

"Jiang Suining, you are right. The relationship between me and the emperor is no longer the same as before. But I am still staying in this palace and don't want to cause trouble. If you really want to know about Prince Su's kings, go and find out for yourself. I can only tell you... Prince Su didn't want to practice Taoism from the beginning, and he went to Sanqing Temple because he was influenced by others. As for the rest, I don't know and can't say much."

These words seemed to have given a hint, and that was all. No more would be said. Knowing that it was not easy to hear this news, Jiang Suining did not continue to ask.

"Thank you, Queen. I will take my leave."

Jiang Suining and Lu Yan left the hall.

Standing outside the hall, Lu Yan recalled the news she had heard before.

"The person that the Empress mentioned who influenced Prince Su to practice Taoism, could it be the Taoist who built the Sanqing Temple?"

"It's very likely." Jiang Suining said.

"I heard that he was executed by the late emperor because he angered him. Could it be that Prince Su was implicated in that incident and disliked by the late emperor, so he went to the Taoist temple to practice asceticism?"

"If you were implicated and disliked by the late emperor, why did you wait until the late emperor passed away before going to the Taoist temple to practice in seclusion? And judging from the reaction of the queen just now, this matter may not be that simple."

After finishing his duty today, Jiang Suining did not return to Ning Garden, but went to Tianyin Pavilion.

"Investigating a Taoist priest who has been dead for more than ten years?" Lin Ziqing leaned back in his chair.

"Yes, I only know that the Taoist priest's name was Qingchen, and he was about the same age as Prince Su. He was executed the year before the late emperor passed away. As for the rest, I don't know."

Jiang Suining put down the teacup in his hand and continued.

"It shouldn't be easy to investigate, but if we can find out more about him, we might be able to learn something about Prince Su's past."

"Don't worry, I will have people do their best to investigate. I am also very curious about why this Prince Su was able to find so little information in the past, but..." Lin Ziqing paused slightly, "Do you really think that finding out these things will be helpful to the current situation of the Women's Academy?"

Jiang Suining shook his head. "Maybe it won't help, but I always feel that this Prince Su has bad intentions."

It never hurts to find out more.

"Since we know that the person who came here has bad intentions and is in a high position, it is better to avoid him instead of confronting him head-on. Although Tianyin Pavilion has been very cautious in gathering information, there is no guarantee that there will be no clues. If the Prince Su really has secrets in his past that he doesn't want others to know, and he finds out that he is being investigated, he will most likely suspect you. If you anger him then, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"

When he first started running Tianyin Pavilion, he was keen on checking all kinds of news, from royal relatives to all walks of life.

I always feel that the more information I know, the more interesting it is, and the better the business in the pavilion can be run.

But gradually, he realized that the more he knew, the more trouble he would get into.

Fortunately, Tianyin Pavilion had already laid a solid foundation, and he also had some connections in the court, so he was able to ensure that no trouble would occur.

Otherwise, he and Tianyin Pavilion would have become a thorn in the eyes of others who would have wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.

"Of course avoiding the enemy's attack is one solution, but how long should we avoid it? To what extent?"

Jiang Suining laughed softly, a smile that seemed helpless, but more so, it was thorough and clear.

"If the other party really has bad intentions, do we have to keep tolerating it?"

She naturally knew that it was best not to conflict with Prince Su, but if the other party took the initiative, blindly giving in might not be the solution to the problem.

Seeing that Jiang Suining's eyes were clear and he had obviously thought it through, Lin Ziqing didn't say anything more.

"Since you have made your decision, I will not persuade you. Don't worry, I will tell you as soon as I find out the news."

"Okay." Jiang Suining responded.

After sitting for a while, Jiang Suining got up and left.

Lin Ziqing sent her downstairs. Just as they reached the stairs, they heard a quarrel coming from downstairs.

Jiang Suining stood on the second floor and looked down, and saw a young man about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in brocade clothes, arguing with a waiter.

Seeing the boy, Lin Ziqing felt helpless, "Here he comes again."

"Who is this?" Jiang Suining asked curiously.
