June 11th, Leiyang City.

The fire broke out in the middle of the night, and the fire quickly swept across the entire Yunwang Mansion. The fire was extinguished when dawn was approaching, and none of the Yunwang Mansion, including the seventh prince Li Yunfeng, lived.

Su Ji was summoned by Emperor Li again and entered the palace to meet him.

"Who does Su Aiqing think about the matter of King Yun?" Li Xiaotian looked at Su Ji with a deep expression. Although Li Yunfeng was only one of Li Xiaotian's many sons, he was Li Xiaotian's flesh and blood, and he was very mentally, otherwise he would not have been named the king. Now that Li Yunfeng died tragically, Li Xiaotian would be heartbroken.

"I don't know." Su Ji lowered his eyes slightly, his voice a little low.

"I originally thought that the things in the past few days were all for Su Aiqing. It was done by a woman who admired Su Aiqing, but the matter of King Yun made me feel that things were not that simple." Li Xiaotian sighed deeply.

"Whether the ladies who died tragically or His Highness Yun, they are people who can be easily removed. It can be seen that the people behind the scenes are very cautious in their actions." Su Ji said in a deep voice, "These things will affect the reputation of the Wei minister and King Xiao, affect the marriage of the Wei minister, affect the emperor, and even the entire Leiyang City. Therefore, the Wei minister believes that the people behind the scenes are not coming for the Wei minister, but because the Wei minister is about to get married, he chose to use this method to disrupt the situation."

"Su Aiqing thinks, how can we let the person who is in the dark appear?" Li Xiaotian looked at Su Ji and asked.

Su Ji lowered his eyes slightly and said, "When you come back to the emperor, please let the emperor know the marriage contract continues, and the wedding date will be the same."

Li Xiaotian's expression changed slightly: "What does Su Aiqing mean? But in one day, are you going to make me go back on my word?"

Su Ji shook his head and said, "I dare not, please ask the emperor to issue an order to dismiss the position of Weimin."

"Su Ji! What do you want to do? Don't think that I value you, you can do whatever you want!" Li Xiaotian's face darkened and he looked at Su Ji and said coldly.

"The emperor calms down. I am trying to make the person behind the scenes appear." Su Ji lowered his head and said, "No matter who is at work, his methods of acting are very secretive and clever. There will definitely be greater actions in the future and it is hard to guard against it. Since this is the case, it is better to disrupt the man's plan. The wedding date will be the same. I am dismissed from office. I believe that next, the man will either come to kill me or persuade me to defect."

"Su Ji, what you mean, do you think this is done by the royal family in other countries?" Li Xiaotian's eyes shrank slightly.

Su Ji nodded slightly: "This is just a little guess from Weichen."

"Su Ji, if that person no longer takes action, would you be a commoner for the rest of your life?" Li Xiaotian looked at Su Ji and asked coldly. Su Ji is a talent and irreplaceable. Li Xiaotian will never let Su Ji live a free and unrestrained life.

"It takes a month to go. If that person does not take action, I beg the official to restore his post and hope the emperor will fulfill it." Su Ji said respectfully.

Li Xiaotian looked at Su Ji with deep eyes. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since you have proposed this plan, I must have thought about how to deal with it."

"Thank you for your kindness, the emperor." Su Ji gave a big gift to Li Xiaotian.

The people of Leiyang City were discussing the fire in Prince Yun’s Mansion when they suddenly learned another shocking news that their emperor dismissed Prime Minister Su Ji!

Not only the people of Leiyang City, but also the officials and noble families of Tianli Kingdom were confused! You should know that in the past few years when Su Ji became the prime minister, he was really Li Xiaotian's confidant, and he was the person Li Xiaotian valued the most among the civil and military officials in the court, no doubt. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Li Xiaotian had always been suspicious of Xiao Xinghan, but he really believed in Su Ji.

Objectively speaking, Su Ji, the prime minister, is very competent, and his talent is undoubtedly implemented for the Tianli Kingdom, which has truly created blessings for the people.

When the ladies who died tragically yesterday, when the people of Leiyang City mentioned Su Ji, there were many different opinions. Many people said that the ladies died because of Su Ji. Even if it was not Su Ji's fault, they would still put this guilt on Su Ji to varying degrees.

But now, Su Ji suddenly no longer is the prime minister of Tianli Kingdom. The only thing people in Leiyang City think about is Su Ji. After all, such a good official who truly seeks welfare for the people is rare.

"Prime Minister Su is so good, why is he suddenly not Prime Minister!" an old man said with a sigh.

"Brother Wang, yesterday you said that those ladies died because of Prime Minister Su, and said that so many people were killed because of Prime Minister Su's romanticism!"

"Oh! Didn't that think a little bit wrong for a moment? We all know what Prime Minister Su is like! In recent years, Prime Minister Su has never reported any irregularities with any lady. Originally, Prime Minister Su was about to get married to Miss Xiao's family. When it was about to come, the marriage was ruined and his official position was lost!"

"Who said no! Prime Minister Su really did nothing wrong, and he was not the one he killed!"

"Then Miss Xiao is also innocent. After being resigned, how can she get married in the future?"

...

In short, as the situation develops, the direction of rumors is also changing greatly. Yesterday, most people thought that the combination of Su Ji and Xiao Xinyue was an unknown thing. Now because Su Ji was suddenly dismissed from office, he has received the sympathy of most people. Those people thought of his goodness, and they all felt that he and Xiao Xinyue were innocent in the whole thing...

Xiao Shangshu Mansion.

Xiao Xinyue was happily making a snack, and Ning Ruyan suddenly came over.

"Xin'er." Ning Ruyan frowned slightly when she saw the smile on Xiao Xinyue's face, "Are you okay?"

"Mom, I'm fine!" Xiao Xinyue blinked innocently.

Ning Ruyan suddenly turned red in her eyes: "Xin'er, I know that you have been dismissed from the engagement, so I will definitely feel bad. If you want to cry, just cry. Don't look like this, mom feels sorry."

Xiao Xinyue was stunned for a moment, then looked around and was sure that there was no one, so she helped Ning Ruyan sit down, looked at Ning Ruyan with a serious expression: "Mom, I'm not sad, because Prime Minister Su said he would marry me, and the wedding date will not change."

Ning Ruyan's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Xiao Xinyue with a serious face and asked, "When did you meet?"

Xiao Xinyue remembered the scene when she met Su Ji last night. Her face turned slightly red and her eyes dodged, saying, "No, it was someone sent by Prime Minister Su to tell me, I believe him."

Ning Ruyan frowned and held Xiao Xinyue's hand: "Xin'er, my mother just received the news that Su Xiang was dismissed from office. I'm afraid your marriage is..."

When Xiao Xinyue heard Ning Ruyan's words, she looked happy: "Really? Prime Minister Su is not an official? Then when we become a kiss, he can take me to other places to travel around! He promised me! That's great!"

Ning Ruyan looked at Xiao Xinyue with a strange expression: "Xin'er, do you really think so?"

"Yes!" Xiao Xinyue nodded seriously, "Mom, Prime Minister Su's official position is too high, and the emperor values ​​him so much, there will definitely be someone who wants to harm him. This time the matter is. So if he doesn't become an official, I'm very happy."

Ning Ruyan sighed helplessly, reached out and hugged Xiao Xinyue in his arms: "Silly girl."

Things are definitely not that simple, but Ning Ruyan’s only reassurance now is that the marriage between her silly girl and Su Ji may really be held as scheduled. After all, Su Ji is not the prime minister now, and there is no need for Emperor Li to issue an order to marry. The two families will get married if they want to get married, and they don’t even need to invite so many face-saving guests, and can hold a low-key but warm wedding.

Thinking of this, Ning Ruyan suddenly felt that it was actually a good thing that Su Ji was temporarily dismissed from office. At least when Su Ji and Xiao Xinyue became close, they could stay together every day, even if they would not go on like that for a long time.

When Su Ji left the palace and went back to see Su Zheng, he found Mu Yan was here. Tuoba Yan took off his shoes and socks and went to bed, snuggled in Su Zheng's arms, with his grandfather and grandson heads next to his head, not knowing what he was saying.

A smile flashed in Su Ji's eyes. When Su Zheng looked up at him, he said to Su Zheng as usual: "Grandpa, I've been dismissed from office."

Su Zheng's eyes were slightly surprised. After a moment of stunnedness, he did not ask Su Ji what was going on. Instead, he asked about the marriage between Su Ji and Xiao Xinyue: "Then your marriage with Xin'er will not be affected, right?"

Su Zheng was frightened before and was resting in the mansion these two days. He actually didn't know that such a big thing happened outside. As for Su Ji's dismissal, it was not a big deal for Su Zheng. He knew that no matter what his grandson did, he knew that no matter what his grandson did, he was aware of it. In comparison, Su Zheng cared more about whether his favorite granddaughter-in-law could marry him as scheduled...

Su Ji smiled slightly: "Of course not. In another three days, grandpa will wait to drink Xin'er's tea."

"Haha, okay." Su Zheng nodded with a smile, and gently stroked Tuoba Yan's little head with a kind look on his face and said, "Aji and Xin'er have become relatives. Hurry up and give birth to a great granddaughter for grandpa. It's better to have a great granddaughter. Grandpa will help you take care of it!"

"Grandpa Don't worry, you will have great-grandchildren." Su Ji said calmly.

Mu Yan looked at Su Ji coldly, Su Ji winked at Mu Yan, and the two walked out together. Before they left, they sat down under an ancient tree in Su Zheng's yard.

"Cousin, I didn't see that you are both a man and a woman." Mu Yan said with a smile at Su Ji.

Su Ji shook his head and laughed: "Xiaoyan, don't make fun of me."

"Li Yunfeng is dead, so I won't mention it." Mu Yan looked at Su Ji and said, "You broke off the engagement yesterday and resigned today. This move has been played well. You have successfully made most people throw the dead ladies behind you and Xin'er. Now you are starting to sympathize with you and Xin'er."

Su Ji's lips curled slightly, but his smile was not enough to reach his eyes: "I don't need the blessings of irrelevant people, but I don't want anyone to slander Xin'er. She has nothing to do with these messy things."

Mu Yan said that Su Ji's scheming was indeed very deep.

In fact, from yesterday morning, Su Ji wrote a note and stuffed it into the purse, asking Mu Lin to send it to Xiao Xinyue, and then he entered the palace to meet the saint. Everything after that was in Su Ji's plan.

Su Ji's divorce from the engagement temporarily made Li Yunfeng dispel the idea of ​​attacking Xiao Xinyue, and successfully used the illusion of "drinking sorrows with alcohol" to attract his former friend Li Yunfeng. Su Ji said those words to Li Yunfeng just to test whether Li Yunfeng had other purposes. In the end, he was sure that it was just because Li Yunfeng had dirty thoughts about him and cruelly and pervertedly killed him. So Su Ji, who had never even killed a chicken, killed someone with his own hands, and there was no adverse reaction afterwards.

In Li Yunfeng's Yunwang's mansion, there were not many servants or guards, all of them were Li Yunfeng's confidants. In other words, there were no good people. In a fire, all traces were burned clean. Li Yunfeng's death was perfectly pushed to the thief who had been in Leiyang City recently.

After Li Yunfeng died, Li Xiaotian began to suspect that this was done by the royal family of other countries, with the purpose of making waves in Leiyang City. It has just begun. And this is all an illusion created by Su Ji deliberately for Li Xiaotian.

Under such circumstances, Su Ji said that he had plans to let the person who was in secret appear. No matter what he wanted to do, Li Xiaotian would not stop him in the end. Li Xiaotian subconsciously believed that Su Ji could do what he said, because Su Ji had always been like this.

Therefore, Li Xiaotian would not issue an order to marry her, but Su Ji, who was temporarily dismissed from office, could marry Xiao Xinyue as scheduled, simply get married and no longer involve anything else.

Break off the engagement and dismissal from office. These two things will make people in Leiyang City subconsciously begin to sympathize with Su Ji, and even hope that Su Ji can be restored to his post.

At this time, Su Ji married Xiao Xinyue again. Xiao Xinyue, the daughter of the Shangshu, was willing to marry Su Ji, who had become a commoner. No matter how many blessings they could receive from irrelevant people, at least most people would not slander Xiao Xinyue anymore, thinking that she was an ominous person, and even think that Xiao Xinyue was affectionate and righteous, and was a match made by heaven with Su Ji.

In this way, Su Ji's most important purpose was to achieve, because what he cares most about now is to marry Xiao Xinyue safely and prevent Xiao Xinyue from suffering any grievances.

"Cousin, please honestly tell me, please ask the emperor to be your official for the time being. Do you think about doing nothing after getting married and keeping warm with Xin'er?" Mu Yan asked with a smile on her face.

"Ahem," Su Ji coughed lightly twice as if pretending, "Xiaoyan, as a girl, speak more reservedly, don't be so bold."

"Then my cousin said that with my brother's help, you went to the fragrance and steal the jade at night. Is this something serious can do?" Mu Yan snorted softly, "You are my cousin, Xin'er is my sister-in-law, I am on her side. If I tell Xiao Xinghan about this, would you guess Xiao Xinghan give you some medicine that you can't help but make your bridal chamber night unable to do it?"

Su Ji held his forehead: "Xiaoyan! Don't talk nonsense!"

"Come on, my heart is foolishly in your hands, I'm just joking with you." Mu Yan looked at Su Ji and said, "But there is really a serious matter now. Cousin, you told the emperor that you have a way to let the person who is in secret appear, but the person who is in secret is Li Yunfeng, who has been killed by you. How do you plan to deal with the emperor next? If you become a kiss, you have passed by sweetly for a month and did nothing. Finally, you told the emperor that you did not do it. What do you think the emperor would think?"

Su Ji looked at Mu Yan calmly and said, "I have found a scapegoat for this matter."

"Oh?" Mu Yan looked at Su Ji with some curiosity and asked, "Which unlucky person is you thinking about?"

Su Ji curled his lips slightly and said with a light smile: "It's an old acquaintance of Xiaoyan."

Mu Yan looked inexplicably: "Speak straight, don't keep it aside, otherwise you will sleep by yourself at the wedding night!"

Su Ji twitched slightly, and looked at Mu Yan and said three words: "Jin Liancheng."

Mu Yan was stunned for a moment: "So, cousin, you plan to find someone to pretend to be Jin Liancheng and splash all the dirty water on him. At the same time, it can also expose the news that Jin Liancheng is not dead."

Su Ji nodded: "That's right."

Mu Yan smiled: "Cousin, no wonder Li Yunfeng fell in love with you, and he thought you were his soul mate. You are really seductive when you are serious about plotting against others."

Su Ji looked at Mu Yan speechlessly: "Xiaoyan, are you praising people? Why did Alin tell you everything!"

Mu Yan chuckled: "My brother loves me the most, of course he told me everything. My brother also told me how Li Yunfeng confessed to you affectionately last night!"

Su Ji glared at Mu Yan, stood up and left, saying that he had been chatted to death by Mu Yan this day...

Before Su Ji could return to his yard, he was stopped by Su Qi.

Su Qi was not excited, but just reached out and pulled Su Ji into his study, and Murong Shu followed silently.

After sitting down, Su Qi looked at Su Ji and said, "Okay, now you have time, let's be honest."

Su Ji calmly told his plan. After hearing this, Su Qi nodded slightly and said, "As long as you can get married to Xin'er, nothing else matters. But there is a question, who are you going to pretend to be Jinliancheng? At what time will he show up?"
To be continued...
