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

Chapter 788 Do you remember those missing women?

Jiang Suining's words stunned Prince Su and Emperor Xiao for a moment.

Even Xiao Yue didn't expect her to speak like this.

After all, Jiang Suining was always calm and seldom said such impolite words.

But after coming to my senses, I felt happy again.

"That's right. The emperor's uncle has been in Sanqing Temple for so many years, but I haven't heard that you have made any elixirs that can prolong life. After all, Sanqing Temple is a place for spiritual practice. Isn't the aura pure enough? Or is it that the place where the emperor's uncle has been practicing for many years is actually not clean inside and is full of filthy air?"

The expression on Prince Su's face turned completely cold.

"Your Majesty, the Fifth Princess and this Lady Jiang are targeting me so much. Do they look down on me, your uncle, or do they also look down on you, Your Majesty?"

"Don't accuse me of anything here. We are just making reasonable guesses." Xiao Yue said immediately, "Father, think about it carefully. The emperor's uncle has been in Sanqing Temple for so many years. Now he suddenly comes back and wants to make elixirs in the Women's Academy. He also said that he wants the pure energy of women. It sounds like a crooked way. You must not agree to him!"

Emperor Xiao's expression was not much better than Prince Su's.

The matter of the girls' college had already troubled him, but he didn't expect that it would involve all these things now.

As for the idea of ​​alchemy, although it does sound a bit strange according to the description just now, it is not to the point of being unorthodox.

not to mention……

Emperor Xiao's eyes fell on Jiang Suining with scrutiny and displeasure.

"Sanqing Temple is the place where the emperor's uncle practices meditation. How can we allow you to slander it so recklessly?"

"I just spoke like this because I am confused. If I have offended you, I am willing to accept the punishment." Jiang Suining straightened his back and knelt down.

"Father, I don't think Ms. Jiang said anything wrong. After all..."

"Shut up. I tolerate you again and again because of your previous contributions and the hardships you have endured. If you dare to be presumptuous again, don't blame me for being rude." Emperor Xiao interrupted Xiao Yue.

The unhappy look fell on Jiang Suining again.

"And Jiang Suining, I really admire you. Although you are a woman, you are capable, have vision, know your limits, and know when to advance and retreat. But you must be clear about your own identity."

"I will not punish you this time in consideration of the contributions you and Shen Yanxi have made. However, if you dare to disrespect Prince Su again, you will no longer be responsible for the affairs of the Women's Academy, and your status as a female official will also be dismissed."

"Father..." Xiao Yue was shocked.

Emperor Xiao stopped her from saying anything else with his eyes, and continued speaking to Jiang Suining.

"Do you remember what I said?"

Full of imperial majesty.

Jiang Suining took a deep breath and said slowly: "Yes, I will remember it."

In the imperial study, the news that Jiang Suining was reprimanded by Emperor Xiao quickly spread.

At the same time, news spread that Emperor Xiao had agreed to allow Prince Su to make elixirs in the Women's Academy, and even ordered that the Women's Academy did not need to be moved to another place and that the two could coexist.

Soon, under the arrangement of Prince Su, a special area was set aside in the Women's Academy to place and arrange the things needed for alchemy.

Jiang Suining, Wei Yao and the others stood outside the door, looking at the decorated alchemy room inside, and no one spoke.

Until the voice of Prince Su came from behind.

"After all, I am the emperor's uncle. You are just female officials of low rank. If you want to compete with me, you are simply like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Jiang Suining turned his head and met Prince Su's gaze.

"What exactly does the prince want to do?"

"Isn't it obvious? Everything has been arranged. It is of course for alchemy."

Prince Su looked cold and sarcastic, and was not polite at all.

Jiang Suining's eyes also carried a warning, "Since the prince doesn't want to say it, then forget it. But no matter what the prince's purpose is, I advise you not to do anything to hurt the female students in this academy."

"Miss Jiang is worrying too much. I will not do anything to harm others. Moreover, if I come to the Women's Academy to make pills and something happens to the academy, it will arouse suspicion. I am not a person who likes to cause trouble."

"It would be better to do as the prince said." Jiang Suining said in a cold voice.

After she finished speaking, she bowed and left the alchemy room with Wei Yao.

Wei Yao said after making sure they were far enough away and Prince Su would not hear their conversation.

"Sui Ning, do you suspect that Prince Su is coming for these female students in the academy?"

"Do you still remember the autopsy results of those missing women?" Jiang Suining asked back.

Wei Yao nodded, "I remember you mentioned to me that they had their wrists cut and bled."

As he said this, Wei Yao was shocked.

"Could it be that you suspect that someone is using the woman's blood to make an elixir?"

Jiang Suining shook his head. "Without any evidence, we can't speculate. But the criminals abducted so many women, but they didn't harm them or sell them off. Instead, they cut their wrists and bled them. This must be unusual."

"I have heard of some local customs before, such as sacrificing women's blood as medicine, believing that this can have miraculous effects. Using women's blood to make pills, I think there are such things. But just as Prince Su said just now, if he is really the real culprit behind the disappearance of the woman, and now he is also after the women in the academy, then why would he make pills in the academy? Isn't this just asking for suspicion?"

"This is exactly what I can't understand." Jiang Suining sighed.

If Prince Su wanted to target the girls in the academy, there was no need for him to move to the girls' academy.

But she absolutely did not believe that the other party came to the Girls' College just because this place was suitable for alchemy.

Turning his head and looking back in the direction of the alchemy room, Jiang Suining said in a deep voice.

"No matter why, we must strengthen the protection in the academy during this period. No matter whether it is the female students or Prince Su, nothing can happen."

Shrouded in layers of doubts.

After Jiang Suining arranged everything, he left the girls' academy.

Not long after getting on the carriage, I met Lin Ziqing head-on.

The other party got off the carriage and sat directly in Jiang Suining's carriage.

"Is there any news about that Taoist priest Qingchen?"

"Yes, I have found some information. Although I haven't found out everything yet, I happened to have nothing to do today, so I thought I would come to see you first."

According to the information obtained by Tianyin Pavilion, when the Taoist Qingchen first came to the imperial city, he was only in his twenties, but he cured the late emperor's long-standing illness and received many rewards.

He was not a man seeking fame and reputation, but was truly capable. In just one year, he was highly regarded by the late emperor. Not only was he retained in the imperial city as a national teacher, but he also presided over the construction of the Sanqing Temple as his place of meditation.

"Then why did he offend the late emperor and was sentenced to death?"
