After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

"Father, how is the investigation of the cases of those Qinnan officials going?"

Jamel Xiao is more concerned about the progress of Dali Temple's investigation at this time. After all, it is related to when he can make demands to his father. He can't wait to stand with Yaoer openly.

"I have a general understanding of their crimes. The matter has been handed over to Dali Temple Minister Yu Xianjie for trial. The trial has been completed these days, and they will be convicted soon. This time you not only found out what I told you They also found out their other crimes, and each of them was recorded as a major meritorious deed."

The two were overjoyed when they heard this and quickly thanked him.

"Thank you, Father."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Chenyu smiled happily, "You have gone through so many twists and turns on your trip to Qinan, and it is not easy to finally achieve such results. You deserve this. You guys should have a good rest these days and wait for Dali Temple." After the formal conviction, I will hold a celebration banquet for you and invite officials of the second rank and above to attend with their families to celebrate your safe return."

"My son, I would like to thank my father."

"I thank you, Your Majesty."

"Father, I have one more thing to ask."

Seeing that Jamel Xiao was hesitant to speak, Xiao Chenyu hurriedly said: "Xuan'er has something else to do, but it doesn't matter."

"Where are the guards who accompanied me to Qinan? You mentioned Yun Qi Yunfei just now. I think my father has summoned them, but I haven't heard anything about them."

Jamel Xiao always knew that they were imprisoned by his father, but in his father's eyes, he had just come back, and something would be wrong if he knew everything.

Jamel Xiao could only pretend not to know and asked tactfully.

When Jamel Xiao asked this, Xiao Chenyu remembered that those guards were still imprisoned by him.

When they came back that day, they brought news that Jamel Xiao and Gu Jingan were missing. When he was angry, he took out his anger on them and put them in jail for failing to protect them.

These days, while he was worried about his son, he had to hide the news from the queen. He was really too busy to take care of them.

He has been in a bad mood recently and loses his temper frequently. The people below probably dare not mention this matter for fear of making him angry.

Xiao Chenyu coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, "They failed to protect them as bodyguards, so I put them in prison."

Jamel Xiao quickly begged: "Father, you can't blame them for this. They have tried their best, but those assassins are too cunning, so please don't blame them."

Gu Jing'an helped: "Yes, Your Majesty, they have had a hard time along the way. They have to protect us and escort the prisoners, so just let them out."

Xiao Chenyu originally knew that it was not their fault, but he was so angry at the time that he had to find someone to vent his anger on.

Originally I just wanted to lock them up for a few days and then release them, but unexpectedly I forgot about it.

But as the emperor, he naturally couldn't admit that it was his fault. Since the two children gave him a step, he should just take advantage of it.

Xiao Chenyu nodded slightly, "What you said makes sense. Since you are all begging for mercy for them, then I will let them go."

The two were delighted when they heard this and immediately thanked him.

"Thank you, Father."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Okay, you have worked hard these days, go back and rest. Xuan'er, go to your mother's house first and tell her that she is safe. She is still worried because you haven't been back for so long. But she doesn't know Don’t let it slip that you’ve been missing these days.”

Jamel Xiao nodded when he heard this, "Yes, father, I understand."

Xiao Chenyu nodded and said to Gu Jing'an: "Jing'an, you have worked hard this time. Come home and take a look. They must have been anxious these days. Marquis Xuanping has been absent-minded when he went to court these days. Yes, I will be happy if I know you are back safely."

When Gu Jingan heard this, he felt like returning home and wanted to go home as soon as possible to report that he was safe.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, go ahead. Seeing that you are all safe, I can finally feel at ease."

"My son, please retire."

"Wei Chen retire."

After leaving the imperial study room, both of them were in a good mood.

Gu Jingan looked around and made sure it was safe before speaking.

"That's great Jingxuan, just now the emperor said that he would give us a great credit. You and Miss Qingyao can get what you want this time."

Jamel Xiao was also in a good mood because of this matter, and said with a smile: "Yes, we finally waited for this opportunity. However, we will have to confront the fourth brother head-on in the future. You have been classified into our camp, and you will also be in the camp in the future. You have to be careful at all times, he will attack you even if you don't do well."

Gu Jing'an smiled nonchalantly, "We have been brothers for so many years and have long been on the same team. What should I be afraid of? However, I will still be more careful for Wan'er's sake, so don't worry."

Seeing that Gu Jing'an knew what was going on, Jamel Xiao felt a little relieved, "Okay, you've been working too hard these days. Come home quickly. I'll go see my mother."

"Okay, by the way, if you see my sister, tell her that she is safe for me."

Gu Jingan’s sister is the Crown Princess Gu Wei, and it is naturally inconvenient for Gu Jingan to go to the harem, but Gu Wei is Jamel Xiao’s sister-in-law, so Jamel Xiao can often see her.

"I know, don't worry."

Gu Jingan smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll take the first step."

Xiao Qingning stayed with her mother every day these days, for fear that she would hear about Jamel Xiao’s disappearance.

Under the strict guard of Xiao Qingning and Xiao Chenyu, Zhou Menglin still knew nothing about it even though there was a lot of rumors outside.

These days, her daughter has been staying with her, and her eldest son and daughter-in-law often bring their grandchildren to visit her. Zhou Menglin is in a very good mood.

It's just that her youngest son has been in Qinan for some time, and he hasn't come back yet, so she is inevitably a little worried.

"Ning'er, you said that Xuan'er has been gone for so long and it's time to come back. Why is there no movement at all? Could it be that something happened?"

Xiao Qingning said comfortingly: "Mother, Fifth Brother and the others are going to investigate the matter. Maybe there is something delayed. Don't worry."

Although Xiao Qingning said this, she was also murmuring in her heart.

Several days have passed. It stands to reason that Fifth Brother's injury should be healed. Why isn't he back yet?

Xiao Qingning knew that Jamel Xiao was fine, but she was not worried about his health.

However, if he doesn't come back, the queen mother may not be able to hide it.

Just as Xiao Qingning was thinking this, Nanny Qin beside Zhou Menglin trotted in the door.

"Empress..."

Nanny Qin was very anxious when she saw it, but after all, she was not young. She was already out of breath after running a few steps. She was out of breath after only saying two words.
