Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 994 Boss’s Reality Show (3)

Qiu Yiping is not a petty person, and he always follows An Yiqing’s orders meticulously.

"Miss An, please wait a moment. I’ll send the information to your email shortly. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call. I’m available anytime."

"Okay, thank you, Minister Qiu."

After hanging up the phone, An Yiqing quickly received a notification about the email.

She opened it and looked through it carefully, her eyes slightly squinting, a cold smile playing on her lips.

After dinner at the An Family Villa, An Yiqing and Old Master An chatted for a while, and then everyone sent her upstairs under the pretext of her needing to rest.

"Ah Lin, how much do you know about the current military and political factions in Xuanjin?" An Yiqing, lounging lazily on the swing on the terrace, leaned on Gu Yelin’s shoulder and asked.

Gu Yelin’s long fingers gently stroked her hair, his voice low and sultry.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Hmm, I have a preliminary direction for the investigation of the person who poisoned my second brother. I think it might be related to the power struggles within Xuanjin’s military and political circles. I haven’t been in Xuandu City for long and I’m not familiar with these circles. Ah Lin, tell me about it!" Pulling down the hand that was messing up her hair, An Yiqing pouted her tender red lips and coquettishly pleaded.

Gu Yelin couldn’t resist such temptation; his eyes darkened, and he wrapped his arm around An Yiqing’s slender waist, pressed his thin lips down, and gave her a fiery kiss.

Damn it! It’s too cruel to flaunt affection in front of single cats and dogs!

Old Jin, curled up in the corner, stretched out a paw and scratched the ground, full of sourness.

Woof! - Old Jin, you’re in heat! -

Xiao Hei, leaning on Old Jin, lazily kicked him with its hind leg.

Damn! Both of you, stop it! Don’t be ungrateful for your blessings! I’m such an innocent cat, yet I have to see the Boss’s live show up close, I’m the most miserable, okay?! Damn it! I’m out, see you tomorrow!

Having said that, Fatty Mao Er, filled with grievances, cut off contact with the outside world and retreated back into the bracelet, looking like a forsaken woman.

Of course, Gu Yelin and An Yiqing were unaware that their irresistible long and fiery kiss had caused all three cute creatures to harbor resentment. As they separated their lips, panting, An Yiqing’s face flushed red, tightly hugged in Gu Yelin’s arms.

Like soothing a child, Gu Yelin gently patted her back, his voice husky and seductive.

"Currently, Xuanjin is divided into two major factions, the Kang Faction and the Wu Faction. The Kang Faction, represented by the Kang Family, mainly dominates the military while also holding some political power. The Wu Faction, which is the family of Shen Long and Shen Feng’s maternal grandparents, mainly controls the political arena, with relatively weaker military power."

Kang Faction? Wu Faction?

An Yiqing raised an eyebrow, "What about the Five Great Families? Why aren’t they involved?"

"There’s an unwritten rule among the Xuandu Five Great Aristocratic Families; each family can play a supportive role between factions, but the family itself must absolutely not monopolize the overall situation. That’s why, even if the Gu Family is powerful, it hasn’t branched out into a ’Gu Faction’ over the years, all in an effort to maintain balance."

An Yiqing suddenly realized, that’s right, the Five Great Families already have profound power, especially the Gu Family and the Guh Family, both being ancient martial arts families with long histories. If they were to form cliques in the military and political realms, forming a "Gu Faction" or "Guh Faction," it would probably give the higher-ups sleepless nights.

"Since that’s the case, Grandpa Gu probably supports the Wu Faction, right? After all, that’s Old Master Shen’s in-laws." Decades ago, Old Master Shen was a trusted aide to Gu Zhongyi and although he later turned to business, their relationship remained very good. An Yiqing had heard of Shen Long and Shen Feng’s maternal grandparents, the Wu Family; they were known to be upright and didn’t have those annoying bureaucratic airs. Given Elder Gu’s loyalty and the decent character of the Wu Family, he probably supports them.
