Tao Yao secretly entered Prince Jing's mansion to meet Yan Zhen.

As the richest man, Tao Yao was wooed by various forces when he came to Jinling, so he didn't dare to offend him too much.

"Recently, Qin Banruo secretly left Jinling and went to Rhinoceros Town. I'm afraid he found out that Mr. Su is not really helping King Yu." Tao Yao always kept a respectful distance from women like Qin Banruo.

Yan Zhen stroked her stomach and pursed her lips: "Follow carefully. If you find anything that is not good for the Su residence, tell Mr. Su directly."

"Yes."

Yan Zhen thought about it for a moment, and then said: "The Hua family is our big problem after all. You must always pay attention to it, and don't let them ruin our big business."

"Yes, master. There is news from Yang Liuxin's explanation, saying that there is a change in Concubine Li's natal family. The details are still being investigated."

The corner of Yan Zhen's mouth twitched into a sneer: "Let Xie Yu be careful, that maid of Concubine Li's is Xia Jiang's. Xia Jiang is cunning and tricky, so it's hard to deal with. Don't let him find out."

"clear."

After Tao Yao left, Yan Zhen took a nap for half an hour and was no longer interested, but Xiao Jingyan wanted to go out at this time, saying that it was Mr. Su's invitation to go to the prison.

Yan Zhen straightened his clothes for him, and said, "Mr. Su's move must have his intentions. Now that Xie Yu is in prison, maybe he is going here to find out the relationship between Xie Yu and Xia Jiang. Xia Jiang is quite prejudiced against you. Shen, even though he is not involved in party disputes, he would rather have a mediocre, profit-seeking prince and a mean and ungrateful Yuwang on the throne than you."

Speaking of this, Yan Zhen paused, and then said: "Now you have great ambitions, if you can't win Xia Jiang, the chances of you getting that position will be even smaller. Now Xia Jiang is trying to protect Xie Yu, maybe from Xie Yu's mouth Can know Xia Jiang's secret."

Xiao Jingyan raised his brows, pursed his lips and said, "The secret that can keep Xie Yu from Xia Jiang must not be an ordinary secret. Mr. Su can make good use of this secret to bring down Xia Jiang."

"Hey!" Yan Zhen looked at him as if he didn't know him, "Don't you always hate these twists and turns? Why are you thinking so transparently this time?"

Xiao Jingyan touched his nose and looked at his pregnant wife helplessly: "Didn't you tell me to think about Mr. Su's actions? Forgot?"

"Ah. Ever since I got pregnant, my memory has been getting worse and worse." Yan Zhen stroked her forehead, gave her husband a sideways look, and muttered, "Why haven't I seen you so obedient before?"

Xiao Jingyan knew that Yan Zhen's temperament had changed ever since she became pregnant, and Concubine Jing also reminded him not to make Yan Zhen angry, as pregnant women are always like this.

Just like now, even Xiao Jingyan, who was always obedient in the past, has to admit it now.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. There are a lot of princesses."

After Xiao Jingyan left, Yan Zhen felt that there was nothing else to do, thinking that today he would hear the truth in the sky prison, and she knew in her heart what the truth meant to Xiao Jingyan.

In the past, he firmly believed in the character of Lin Shuai and King Qi, but if he knew the truth, he would have evidence. For the sake of King Qi and Lin Shuai, he would definitely choose to reverse the case, even if it was not beneficial for him to seek the throne.

Yan Zhen pinched a camellia flower, put it in her white hands, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, this is why she identified Xiao Jingyan in the first place.

"Zhuji, let's make hazelnut cakes."

He must suffer in his heart when he comes back, and a plate of hazelnut cakes certainly cannot make him happy, but it can remind him that she and his mother are by his side.

After Yan Zhen finished making the hazelnut cake, she went back to her room to pick flowers.

Now that Concubine Jing has been promoted to the concubine position, some jewelry that used to look good but could not be worn is now acceptable.Recently, Tao Yao sent some red jade over. Yan Zhen asked the craftsmen to make plum blossom hairpins, and a piece of white warm jade. She asked the craftsmen to divide them into several pieces and make them into Four Seasons Ping An buckle and Dark Eight Treasures for Xiao Youning. And Xiao Jingyan, the rest of the jade pendant made into Liuyun Baifu was going to be given to Tingsheng's three children,

She drew the pattern herself and asked Liuli to send it to the craftsmen in the shop.

Not long after, Xiao Jingyan came back.

He went straight to Yan Zhen's place, Yan Zhen waved back the servants, and took Zhuji to get the hazelnut cake.

When she looked at him, a scorching flame secretly ignited in his eyes.

He stepped forward to hug her, thinking that she was pregnant, his movements were cautious.Yan Zhen wraps her arms around his waist, leans into his arms and whispers, "Jingyan, I'm here."

"It's fake, Ah Zhen, everything is fake. Brother Wang did not rebel, and Lin Shuai is not a traitor. Everything is Xia Jiang's conspiracy." Xiao Jingyan's heart was agitated for a moment.

"What are you going to do?" Yan Zhen patted his head, giving him comfort and understanding, feeling sorry for his persistence for many years, and it finally paid off.

"I want to investigate the case, I want to reverse the case."

Xiao Jingyan's tone was firmer than ever before.

Until the middle of the night when he went to discuss the matter with Mei Changsu, he was still so determined in his heart.

Even if Mei Changsu asked him about the pros and cons of this matter, he was still as firm as he was 13 years ago.

That's why he's fighting for power.

Xiao Jingyan sat where he used to sit in the secret room, with his head lowered as if in deep thought.

He raised his head only after hearing Mei Changsu's footsteps, his expression was fairly calm, but there was a complicated light in his eyes.

"Your Highness." Mei Changsu bowed slightly and saluted, "You are here."

"It seems that you have expected that I will come." Xiao Jingyan raised his hand to signal him to sit down, "Mr. Su's performance in the sky prison today is really wonderful, even a person like Xie Yu can be manipulated by you .Kirin's talent is well-deserved."

"Your Highness, thank you." Mei Changsu said lightly, "But I was relieved to be able to force Xie Yu to tell the truth. Originally, I was always worried that Xia Jiang would also protect the prince. As the head of the Xuanjing Division, He is not easy to deal with, now that we can confirm that he has no intention of being involved in party disputes, and there is an internal rift between Xia Dong and Xia Dong, we can finally stop worrying about him."

Xiao Jingyan didn't speak, but kept looking at him deeply for so long that Mei Changsu felt slightly uncomfortable.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"You only thought of this," Xiao Jingyan's eyes flashed with anger, "Aren't you shocked to hear the truth that Xie Yu revealed today?"

Mei Changsu thought for a while, then slowly said: "Your Highness, are you referring to the old incident of Nie Feng's murder? After many years, the situation has changed drastically, and it is meaningless to pursue this, not to mention that Xia Jiang is not our enemy. A wise man would not do a meaningless thing to create a strong enemy."

"What a wise man wouldn't do it." Xiao Jingyan sneered, "Do you know that the matter of Nie Feng was the cause of the Chiyan Army's rebellion back then, and now even the source is false, which shows that there are countless cases in this huge case. There are many shady scenes, and the crimes committed by the elder brother and the Lin family are unjustly wronged, and you... actually think that it is just an old thing?"

Mei Changsu looked straight into Prince Jing's eyes, and said calmly, "Did Your Highness know that King Qi and the Lin family were wronged today? In Su's impression, it seems that you have always firmly believed that they did not rebel, right?"

"I..." Xiao Jingyan was stumped by his question, "I used to just believe in the character of the emperor and Lin Shuai, but today..."

"Your Highness discovered this detailed clue today, and you know some truths that you couldn't understand at the time, right?" Mei Changsu's expression remained calm, "Then what does Your Highness want?"

"Of course it's an investigation. Find out everything about how they framed the eldest brother and Lin Shuai back then!"

"and then?"

"Then...then..." Xiao Jingyan suddenly found that he couldn't continue, and then he suddenly understood what Mei Changsu meant, his face turned pale, and his breathing stagnated.

He was not stupid, he just thought in his heart that although that person was the Nine-Five Supreme, after all, everyone was a father and son, so why not?

"Then take the results of your investigation and appeal to His Majesty, demanding that he redress the wrongful case and punish all those involved?" Mei Changsu said coldly, "Your Highness really thinks that with just one Xia Jiang, Just one Xie Yu, even with the Empress Yue Concubine, mother and son, is it enough to slander the eldest son of the emperor with both ability and political integrity, and uproot a prestigious mansion?"

Xiao Jingyan slumped his shoulders with a slumped expression, his fingers almost made imprints on the hard rosewood kang table, and said in a low voice: "I understand what you mean...but why? Why? Even if the elder brother's strength at that time was enough to shake the throne , I have many political disagreements with my father in reforming the government affairs, but he is virtuous and benevolent after all, and he has no objection at all, why did my father suspect him so far... Everyone is a father and son..."

"The emperors of all dynasties have killed countless parents and children, right?" Mei Changsu took a deep breath, reminding himself to control his emotions, "Our emperor's mean-spiritedness did not come later. According to my guess, he both Suspicious, and fearful of the prestige of Duke Qi's mansion at that time, he did not dare to cut power easily. This kind of thinking was seen by Xia Jiang, he is so loyal, how can he not share his worries for the king?"

"You said, did the father really believe it back then?" Xiao Jingyan's eyes were painful, and he pursed his lips, "Did he believe that the big emperor's brother conspired against him, and that the Chiyan army was attached to the rebellion?"

"With the emperor's suspicious character, he probably believed it at first, and that's why he was so ruthless and merciless." Having said this, Mei Changsu pondered for a moment, "Look at Xia Jiang being so eager to thank you now. Yu's mouth, at least the truth about Nie Feng's case at the beginning, the emperor didn't know."

Xiao Jingyan looked at the oil lamp on the table, shook his head and sighed: "Anyway, if the emperor hadn't been suspicious in his own mind, such a false accusation can be found out by recalling Beijing, so why... I only hate me at that time. Not in the country..."

"Fortunately, Your Highness, you are not in the country, otherwise it will be unavoidable." Mei Changsu looked indifferent, "Although this case was caused by Xia Jiang, it was finally handled by the emperor. It may not be easy for Your Highness to rehabilitate you. Why don't you listen to Su?" Once persuaded, let go of it, and don't investigate any more."

Xiao Jingyan stood up, walked around the room for a few laps, and when he finally stopped, his face had regained his tranquility, "Sir, it's true, but if I really let go, what kind of friendship is there in the world? Xie Yu What I said was just a beginning. If I don’t check it out, I’m afraid I’ll have trouble sleeping and eating. I know that Mr. is thoughtful and reads people’s hearts carefully. Please help me with the old case."

Mei Changsu raised his head, looked into his eyes, and said softly, "Does your Highness know that if the emperor finds out that His Highness is investigating King Qi's old case, it will definitely cause endless trouble?"

"I know."

"Your Highness, do you know that even if you find out the ins and outs, it won't be of any help to what His Highness is currently planning?"

"I know."

"Does Your Highness know that as long as His Majesty is in power for a day, he will not admit his mistakes and rehabilitate King Qi and the Lin family?"

"I know."

"Since His Highness knows all about it, do you still have to investigate?"

"We need to investigate." Xiao Jingyan's eyes were firm, and the corners of his lips curled into a cold line, "I must know how they died wronged, so that in the future, when I win the throne, I can clear them up one by one. It is only for my own self-interest, and for others. Turning a blind eye to the unjust death of a brother and friend is not something Xiao Jingyan can do, please don't persuade me to do it, Mr. Su."

Mei Changsu swallowed the hot lump rising in his throat, and sat quietly under the lamp for a while, then slowly got up, bowed to Xiao Jingyan, and said in a deep voice: "Since Su is serving His Highness as the Lord, His Highness orders I must obey. Although it has been many years and there are not many insiders, Su will definitely do his best to find out the truth for His Highness."

"Thank you so much, sir." Xiao Jingyan also bowed to return the salute. He knew this was difficult, and it was not an easy task for Mei Changsu. "Jingyan is lucky to have such a great talent, sir."

The two bowed to each other, and suddenly they heard the sound of a bell ringing faintly from somewhere outside, both of them jumped up in surprise and rushed to the corridor.

Mei Changsu stabilized his trembling voice, and asked Zhen Ping beside him, "How many times did the clock strike?"

Zhen Ping's thick eyebrows twitched: "Admiralty 27, the sound of a great funeral, there is no queen mother in the palace, so it's..."

"Grandmother." Xiao Jingyan blurted out, not caring about etiquette, and ran straight back to Prince Jing's mansion from the secret passage. When he came out of the secret passage, he saw Yan Zhen standing there with his coat on, his eyes turned red.

"Jingyan, grandma is going to see brother Qi Wang."

Those words made Xiao Jingyan, who hadn't shed tears for a long time, suddenly wet his eyes.
