All kinds of calculations have overturned the entire Xiao family, in exchange for what he now considers to be a stable life.

Who knows, the day will come when you will suffer the consequences.

The father wants to kill his son, and the son is unvirtuous, filial, and disrespectful. He will eventually get the retribution he deserves for his sins.

Gu Changning looked at Emperor Jing Ren who was so crazy. He got up from the ground and climbed onto the dragon couch. While comforting him, he said, "Father, this is your son. This is your son. My son has returned to the palace."

He is crazy, he is even crazier!

Gu Changning grabbed the emperor's hand and sounded like words of comfort, but in fact...

"Father, Xiao Rui is the uncle of my son. He was shot to death by random arrows from Chen soldiers and his head was taken away. My uncle's head has not yet been recovered. The body in the coffin is only a headless white skeleton. My uncle died in the battle long ago. How could my father see my uncle on the battlefield?"

"No, I didn't kill him..." Emperor Jing Ren twitched twice and then fell back on the dragon bed.

At this time, Imperial Physician Zhao had already entered the palace: "His Royal Highness, let me have a look at the Emperor."

"Your Highness, your face..." Mr. Chen stepped forward and saw the scratches on Gu Changning's face, with a worried look on his face.

Gu Changning supported Emperor Jing Ren and said, "It's okay, let's take a look at my father first."

He raised his head and looked at Imperial Physician Zhao: "Physician Zhao, how is my father's condition? He didn't seem to recognize Gu just now."

Doctor Zhao secretly wiped his hands with cold sweat.

Don't you know best about the emperor's condition?

"Back to Your Highness the Crown Prince, the Emperor has been suffering from a headache. Recently, he has been busy with state affairs day and night, busy with government affairs, and overworked. In addition, hundreds of coffins of the Xiao family were unexpectedly discovered in Yanjing. The Emperor was worried about Empress Xiao and became ill. This is how the dragon's body was injured."

After hearing this, Gu Changning lowered his head and looked at Emperor Jing Ren: "Father and Emperor to Mother and Queen..."

It's really hypocritical.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." A chamberlain walked in, holding a thick memorial in his hand and handed it to Gu Changning: "These are the memorials presented by the ministers recently, as well as the news that the Xie family was robbed and killed by bandits. Please also ask His Highness the Crown Prince to take a look."

Eunuch Gao stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, please let your servants serve the Emperor."

Gu Changning nodded in response. With a haggard face, he stood up and walked to the case where Emperor Jing Ren usually read memorials.

However, he did stand and review the memorial.

Several ministers stayed in the palace, and one of them, Taifu Chen, said straight to the point: "Your Highness, the Xie family has been wronged."

The Prime Minister and other ministers all knew that the Crown Prince valued the Crown Princess.

Now that Emperor Jingren is ill, he doesn't know how long he can live. No one wants to offend the prince at this juncture.

After Taifu Chen complained on behalf of the Xie family, the Prime Minister also said: "Then the former son-in-law of the Xie family..."

As soon as the words "former son-in-law" were mentioned, several dagger-like eyes fell on the prime minister.

Gu Changning raised his eyes and narrowed his eyes: "Is this Song Qian the Prime Minister is talking about?"

The Prime Minister calmed down and replied: "His Royal Highness, it was Song Qian and the old lady of the Song family who came back to me. They personally submitted a charge, accusing the Crown Princess of marrying into the Yongning Hou Mansion. Over the years, she has spent money like water, and the gold and silver mountains have continued to flow from her. The Xie family moved into the Hou Mansion, which also included every expense and expenditure incurred by the Crown Princess when she was in the Yongning Hou Mansion."

Mr. Chen's face darkened: "They still have the nerve to say that the Crown Princess married into the Song family before she had hair and was a widow for seven years. She used her dowry to help the crumbling Hou Mansion and actually helped a bunch of white-eyed wolves."

"Has your father cleared this case before?" Gu Changning looked at the Minister of Punishment.

Lord Zhang Shuzhang, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Highness, the minister has ordered someone to investigate the accounts of Third Young Master Xie. Third Young Master Xie has been doing business overseas in recent years. I heard that business is booming. If you can recall Third Young Master Xie, Young Master, interrogate yourself..."

"Your Highness!"

The woman's voice suddenly sounded in the ears of the ministers.

Gu Changning raised his head and looked outside the hall.

Xie Jinyun appeared in Qianqing Palace. Bai Lu helped her into the hall and slowly walked towards Gu Changning.

Gu Changning put down the book in his hand and walked forward quickly, supporting Xie Jinyun: "Didn't I ask you to rest in the East Palace?"

"I'm here to deliver the ledger."
