Early the next morning, Wei Ning packed up his things and set foot on the road back to Beijing with Xuan Feng.

Ning Yi left, and another strange man came to the house. Although Mother Lu did not have Taji Yunyan's residence, she felt somewhat suspicious of this handsome young man.

I always feel like I've seen it somewhere.

Mother Lu is not stupid either, accidents often happen at home, a few days ago there were so many people with knives who wanted to kill people, she experienced the life and death of ransacking their homes, she was very clear about Xiao Yunheng and Lu Xiyue's plans.

Family hatred must never be forgotten.

She doesn't have this ability, but she can't stop the children.

If it really came to the step of life and death again, this is probably destiny.

All she can do is not to trouble the children.

On the third day when Ji Yunyan arrived in Yannan, Jing Yi and a group of hidden guards brought Steward Liang back from the capital.

Inside the heavy iron box was the evidence of the contact between Butler Liang and the person behind the plan.

Coupled with Steward Liang's testimony and other secrets that Steward Liang possesses, it is enough to turn Prince Ning's mansion over.

The only pity is that, on the letterheads, there is no mention of Yao Xiang or the identity of the third prince, and they are all handled by another person.

This person is the servant of the household department.

However, this person has always maintained a neutral attitude in the court.

This surprised Ji Yunyan.

Among the six departments, the household department is considered the most lucrative place, and it is also the place where many people try their best to enter.

This Minister of the Household Department had obvious disputes with the third prince's subordinates several times, and even wrote a letter to impeach the third prince's subordinates.

Looking at it now, Ji Wuhen and the servant of the household department are quite good at acting. On the surface, the servant of the household department and his faction are at odds. Why?

Could it be that he wanted to place such a chess piece in his place.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunyan couldn't help but sneer.

A thin layer of frost formed on the young man's brows and eyes, and he put the letter he had read back into the iron box.

"If there are only these things, Prince Ning's Mansion can wash away the grievances, but it will be difficult to bring down Yao Xiang and Ji Wuhen."

Butler Liang knelt on the ground, his body almost shaking like a sieve.

What did he see? The person sitting on the seat talking to the crown prince was none other than His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince.

Not long after Prince Ning's mansion was destroyed, he hid in the capital for a long time. When the fifth prince came back from Dongfu Mountain to pray for blessings, he had seen the guard of honor welcoming the prince.

Naturally, I have also seen Ji Yunyan.

Xiao Yunheng lowered his eyes, and his eyes fell on the letter paper. The words that plotted to drag Prince Ning's mansion into hell, under his calm and unwavering eyes, were surging with hostility, wreaking havoc in places where no one noticed.

After a moment of silence, he dispelled the emotion in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Taking them down is naturally impossible with this alone."

Without conclusive evidence, without me being able to kill the enemy with one blow, he will never make a move easily.

Yao Xiang is deeply trusted by His Majesty.

The first step they have to do is to plant a knot in His Majesty's heart.

The emperor's heart is always suspicious, no matter how great a courtier's achievements are, no matter how perfect he is, he can always make people pick out suspicious places.

As long as Prince Ning's Mansion can clear the evidence of the crime and expose the relationship between the minister of the household department and the third prince, and Yao Xiang supports the third prince, then it is impossible for His Majesty not to doubt it.

After all, Yao Xinyu will become the third concubine next month.

Putting everything back into the iron box, Xiao Yunheng glanced at the mirror.

"Jing Yi will follow His Royal Highness to Beijing. As for Steward Liang, I will arrange for the guards to accompany you to Beijing secretly."

Ji Yunyan laughed lightly when he heard this.

He knew very well that Xiao Yunheng didn't trust him very much.

Sending people to follow him, on the one hand, is for evidence and their safety, and on the other hand, it is also surveillance.

Of course, he didn't trust Prince Ning very much.

Both sides are on guard.

"After returning to Beijing, I will arrange someone to write a letter to Emperor Fu, and there will be someone from Dali Temple to help."

As the prince, and at the cusp of competing with the third child for the reserve position, it is not the best policy for him to uncover this case.

Dali Temple Minister was in charge of the case of King Ning's Mansion back then, and there was a young minister under him, who was upright and upright. He was the only one who advocated that the case was suspicious, but his arm could not twist his thigh after all, so he was suppressed in the end.

Now, with his help, there is no need to worry that this book will not be delivered to the Holy Master.

At that time, the Holy Majesty will definitely retry the case. In the current court, only three people can take over this matter.

One is Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, but he contracted a cold two days ago and is still lying in bed.

One of the other two is an inspector envoy, but this person was sent to investigate another big case not long ago, and he is not in Beijing now.

This last nephew is Ji Yunyan.

Firstly, he has nothing to do with Prince Ning's Mansion, and secondly, when Prince Ning's Mansion was confiscated and exterminated, he was still in Dongfu Mountain.

As for why it couldn't be Ji Wuhen.

He was busy getting married, so he didn't have time to take over the case.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunyan took a sip of tea leisurely.

After so many years of planning, Ji Wuhen has no way of knowing how much he has true feelings for Yao Xinyu, but Yao Xiang behind Yao Xinyu is definitely the force he likes the most.

I just don't know if he would feel unwilling if he knew that marrying Yao Xinyu would collide with Ning Wangfu's overturning the case.

How to put it, he and Yao Xiang worked hard for many years before getting rid of Prince Ning's Mansion.

After Prince Ning's Mansion was ransacked, the military power was dispersed, and one-third of it fell into Ji Wuhen's hands.

"Thank you Your Highness."

"It's cooperation between you and me, as long as the prince remembers what he promised this prince." Ji Yunyan glanced at him lightly.

Xiao Yunheng understood: "Your Highness, don't worry, as long as Prince Ning's Mansion can wash away its grievances, all the forces behind me will be loyal to Your Highness."

In the spring, when it was warm and cold, the young man's indifferent voice could not hear the emotion, but his deep eyes showed some firmness.

Ji Yunyan bent his lips and put down the teacup, "If that's the case, then I should go back."

While speaking, he stood up, his eyes swept over the young man, and inadvertently passed over the girl with exquisite eyebrows and eyes beside him, and finally turned his head silently, looking ahead.

"I don't think it will take long before there will be an imperial decree to send you back to Beijing."

"Your Highness."

Xiao Yunheng stopped the person who was about to leave.

Ji Yunyan paused and looked back at him.

"I need your Highness to help me with something."

Touching the solemn face of the young man, Ji Yunyan looked suspicious: "What's the matter?"

"I hope that my family can return to Beijing with me."

At the beginning, he was demoted together with Lu Xiyue and Lu's mother, and when Prince Ning's mansion overturned the case, he didn't want to be alone in the huge palace.

The young man raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Lu Xiyue was also startled, and tugged on Xiao Yunheng's sleeve, with doubts in her eyes, she seemed to ask again: Why did you say this suddenly?
