"It's nothing, just thinking, Zhao Tianmao works for Yao Xinyu, without the support of the Zhao family, it should be inconvenient for her and the third prince to do many things."

A prince who competes with other princes for heir, with the support of Wan Guan's family wealth, is very different from nothing.

Yao Xinyu is not a fool, would let the Zhao family fall into the hands of Zhao Pinqian?

Lu Xiyue didn't think she would do this.

So she wanted to see Zhao Pinqian.

Xiao Yunheng could hear the meaning behind her words, and said calmly: "I'll find out when I see my elder brother tomorrow."

Zhao Tianmao is doomed to fail.

When he was there, he didn't dare to violate the Zhao family's family motto, and he supported Yao Xinyu and the third prince on the surface. It can be seen that the Zhao family is always unwilling to drag the Zhao family into disputes over the throne.

Without Zhao Tianmao, there is still Zhao Pinqian.

Yao Xinyu is not a kind person.

She still has many options.

Compared to the leisurely time of the two, Zhao Pinqian kept his feet on the ground.

The properties held by Zhao Tianmao in the past are now brought back one by one. She and he still have to verify every item. They are greedy in the early morning and late in the morning.

As for Zhao Tianmao, ever since he learned that Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng were fine, he hadn't paid any attention to that white-eyed wolf.

He tried to escape, but the Zhao family's guards would not let him do so.

He used to stay in a cell that could be cleaner, but now he can only sleep with mice and eat bad food all day, but in just a few months, he has almost lost his shape.

The sound of the rain gradually stopped, until the next morning, the sun was hot and the weather was still fine.

When the minister of the Ministry of punishment went to court, ministers continued to write letters, all of which were about the suicide of Dali Siqing.

After all, the rumors outside gradually picked up, and even the farmers outside Beijing were guessing whether Dali Siqing really committed suicide in fear of crime.

After listening to the ministers' playing, Emperor Hui's face darkened after he left the court.

I wanted to go to the harem to rest for a while, but the palace servants hurriedly came to report, and Ji Yunyan begged to see him.

"Ask him, what is a son?"

Emperor Hui was annoyed.

The palace servant went out for a while and came back soon: "Report to Your Majesty, the fifth prince said that the case of drinking tomorrow night has a result."

Huidi paused while rubbing his eyes: "Send him to come in."

Soon, a young man with a long figure walked in.

"Tell me, what is the result."

Ji Yunyan lowered his head, and said slowly: "Although the minister of Dali Temple is dead, the servant of the household department has confessed that he conspired with Steward Liang to hide the evidence of treason in the palace and frame King Ning."

In fact, investigating this case is very simple.

The hard part is tracking down the mastermind behind the scenes.

It's a pity that there is no evidence for Dali Siqing's death.

Ji Yunyan thought the same as Xiao Yunheng, knowing that the death of Dali Siqing had something to do with Yao Xiang.

The case of Prince Ning's Mansion cannot be dragged on any longer, otherwise, if there is another trouble with the Minister of the Household Department, the matter will not end well.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunyan presented all the evidence.

Among them is the account book hidden in the house of the servant of the household department. Two years ago, 5 taels of silver were entered into the account, which was taken from the Zhao's bank in the capital.

He retrieved the record of the access ticket from the bank yesterday.

The 5 taels of silver came from the household of Dali Temple. The strange thing is, where did the minister of Dali Temple get the 5 taels, but the source could not be found.

Zhao's bank took out the previous ticket records, Dali Siqing had never deposited silver in Zhao's before, and this was the first time.

He checked several other banks, and found one that was suitable. Unfortunately, a few days ago, the warehouse of this bank caught fire, and many accounts were missing.

What a coincidence!

Huidi looked at the evidence he presented, and his face became more and more ugly.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Hui's voice was astringent: "You go down first, this matter is under pressure, and I will make a decision when the case of Dali Siqing is over."

Ji Yunyan nodded, turned around and left.

"Wait." Emperor Hui stopped him, "Go and pass on the order to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Within three days, I will see progress in the case of Dali Siqing."

The imperial salary does not support idlers.

Ji Yunyan nodded: "I know."

When the solemn and upright young man withdrew, the emperor's sigh came from the hall.

"Zhen, I really wronged my seventh brother."

Emperor Hui squeezed the envelope in his hand, his fingertips trembling.

His seventh younger brother fought for him and defended the territory of Daxia. In the end, he listened to other people's slander, which caused his family to die in vain.

He also abolished his only son's martial arts.

He, the emperor, did a terrible job.

Zhou Wei stood quietly aside, and could clearly feel the remorse in the emperor's heart at this moment.

He winked at the surrounding palace people, and the palace people understood, and retreated silently.

"Your Majesty, I have been talking with His Highness the Fifth Highness for so long, I am going to make you a cup of tea."

At this moment, His Majesty definitely wants to be alone.

Emperor Hui closed his eyes, as if his whole body had been relieved, and leaned back on the dragon chair, a tear condensed from the corner of his reddish eye.

Zhou Wei watched, sighed silently in his heart, and then backed out.

The sky gradually darkened, the night was surging, a layer of silver light spread in the courtyard was faintly dazzling, two figures quietly climbed over the high wall of King Ning's Mansion, easily avoided the guards outside, and went straight to Zhao Mansion .

Lu Xiyue was hugged by Xiao Yunheng's waist, and the cold wind in the middle of the night blew across her cheeks, and the coolness was a bit overwhelming.

She gathered up her collar, regretting that she didn't wear much today.

Xiao Yunheng saw her movement in his eyes, and calmly tightened his arms. Under her shocked gaze, he leaned down at the waist, and easily hugged her horizontally.

Lu Xiyue wrapped her arms around his neck subconsciously.

"what are you doing?"

"Isn't it cold, hold me tight."

Xiao Yunheng's feet moved faster.

Tree shadows flickered around her, Lu Xiyue raised her head, and could only see his cold and hard jaw.

"It's too much effort for you to hold me like this."

She didn't expect to be able to fly so fast while being hugged by the princess.

The young man's hands tightened, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he raised a curve: "Don't worry, your husband still has some strength."

Not to mention carrying her to the Zhao Mansion, even going out of the city, no matter how far away he would feel it would not be an effort.

Shuttle above the eaves, the light of the bright moon fell on the top of the head, and soon arrived at the Zhao Mansion.

The two of them didn't know the terrain of Zhao Mansion, and they found Zhao Pinqian's yard after groping for a while.

In the yard, the lights in the study were still on.

Lu Xiyue squatted under the window, picked up a small stone and threw it out.

The windows are open.

Zhao Pinqian, who was concentrating on reading the accounts, was startled by a small stone that suddenly fell on the table.

"Who!"

He looked out the window warily.

A smiling face suddenly poked out: "It's me, big brother."

Behind the girl is the broad figure of a young man.

"You guys!" Zhao Pinqian widened his eyes slightly, his eyes turned from surprise to joy: "Why are you here at this time?"
