Time travel, Your Highness Ninth Prince has been rejected from marriage again!

"Isn't it to disperse the power of the major families? What does this have to do with choosing Xuanji City?"

"Then do you know why he wants to decentralize power?".

Qingyun looked at him with an expression that said, "Of course it's because some families have too much power."

"This is just one of them, but it is not his ultimate goal."

Qingyun didn't quite understand the twists and turns inside, and waited for Yan Siyuan to answer.

“He wants to disperse the power in the hands of the aristocratic family, and finally hold all these powers in his own hands.

Now among the four princes. Yan Qin'ao was deposed and not worth mentioning. The most powerful person is me, Yan Jingcheng.

Yan Jingcheng had the Meng family as his backer, and now that Meng Zirou had entered the palace, he had captured Emperor Yan's harem. And I am the Qing family. Although we have broken up recently, he does not think that we will lose contact because of this.

This is also the reason why he initially let Murong Yao live freely, because it would allow me to cut off contact with the Qing family. Just ruined by me.

He is only in his fifties now, so naturally he has not yet occupied the emperor's position, so how could he be willing to give it up to others? Even if it was his own son, he would not do it.

That's why he is anxious to choose a concubine. Only by breaking up the big forces can he hold it in his own hands bit by bit."

Yan Siyuan stopped and took a sip of water.

Qingyun took over his words, "That's why he let Yuan Jinyan stay. He once disdained Xuanji City. But now, no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat."

"Yes, that's it. And I also guessed that Yuan Jinyan might be the one who called him."

"That's really possible."

"When Yuan Jinyan entered the palace, he not only won Xuanji City, but also got the second place in the rankings for nothing," Yan Siyuan said disdainfully.

Qingyun lay down in frustration, "The more power Yuan Jinyan has to restrain her, the less likely Emperor Yan will let her go. This will be difficult to handle."

Yan Siyuan couldn't think of any good way for a while. "Should we inform Shen Lingfei about this?"

"No, let's talk about it later, I'm afraid he will be stupid."

"According to his temperament, it's really possible."

Seeing the wilted look, Yan Siyuan rolled his eyes and said, "I found something in the cinnabar peony picture."

Qingyun raised her eyes, "Isn't there some drug in there?"

"More than that, in addition to being hallucinogenic, the drug also contains a small amount of abortion pills."

"Let me go, then she must not have placed this peony picture by herself." After all, who would do anything to their own child.

Seeing that Qingyun finally became energetic, Yan Siyuan continued: "Well, I feel the same way. If there are no other clues, we still have to go to her bedroom to have a look."

"I happen to be in the palace now, let's set off."

Yan Siyuan curled his lips and said, "Okay."

The two came to Changle Palace again, and their outfits had not changed at all. Just when I came in, I found the peony picture hanging intact in the same place.

The two looked at each other and walked towards the picture.

Qingyun lay on it and looked at it carefully, with a look of disbelief on her face. "They are exactly the same. It's hard to spot even if you look closely. If it weren't for the fact that there was no cinnabar on it, I really thought you had hung the painting back up."

Yan Siyuan caressed the peonies on the painting, "We were careless. People were cleaning here often. If such a large painting was lost, it would be easily discovered. Now it seems that someone helped us."

"Let me go, you mean, everyone knows about our every move in the palace?".

"Not necessarily, it might just be in Changle Palace."

"Then since he helped us, he shouldn't harm us."

"We can't be sure. Anyway, we'd better be careful."

"Okay, let's search again separately."

The two separated and searched the house. Qingyun didn't even miss any place, almost lifting the bed board, but still found nothing.

Yan Siyuan didn't find anything useful. The two of them were sitting in the house.

Qingyun held her chin and sighed, "Why is there nothing? It shouldn't be. Didn't Emperor Yan give you the things your mother left for you?"

Yan Siyuan shook his head "No".

Qingyun looked at the moon outside the window. The moon is very bright tonight, shining in from the window and shining on the ground.

A white shadow floated past the window in an instant, and Qingyun's eyes suddenly widened. He grabbed Yan Siyuan fiercely and said, "Did you...did you see it?".

Yan Siyuan took Qingyun's hand and felt her trembling. He comforted her softly, "I saw it. That's not a ghost, it's a human. He has a shadow."

Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it was a person. As long as it's not a ghost, then the other party will be much better. She is mainly afraid of ghosts or physical harm.

"You are pretending to be a ghost. You came to scare me last night to see if I don't catch you." Qingyun pinched her waist angrily.

"Did he scare you yesterday?"

"Yeah, it was floating around outside my window, which kept me from sleeping well all night."

Yan Siyuan's eyes darkened a little, "Let's go and catch ghosts."

The two jumped out of the window and chased the place where Bai Ying had just disappeared. Finally stopped in the backyard.

I saw the white shadow stopping next to a well. Sure enough, Qingyun saw his shadow under the moonlight, but it was just a man covered with a white cloth.

Thinking that she had been frightened by this thing all night, Qingyun became angry. Just as he was about to go up, he was pulled back by Yan Siyuan.

"Look what he's going to do."

The ghost circled around the mouth of the well and suddenly jumped into the well. Before jumping in, he smiled evilly.

Qingyun's scalp was numb from laughing because his laughter was too shrill and a bit harsh.

The two of them quickly stepped forward and looked down the well. It was pitch dark inside the well and nothing could be seen.

Qingyun picked up a stone and was about to throw it in.

Yan Siyuan quickly stopped "What are you doing?"

"Try the depth of the well and kill the ghost by the way."

Yan Siyuan was a little dumbfounded, "If you throw this stone, it's not certain whether the ghosts will die, but we will definitely die."

"Why?".

"This rock is so big, it will definitely attract people."

"Okay" Qingyun put the stone down regretfully. But I found many peonies next to it.

"Yan Siyuan, look, there are a lot of peonies here."

Looking up and looking around, there are indeed many peonies here. And they were all red, with red drops of blood, which looked a little scary in the moonlight.

"Why is this peony just this color?"

Even if most people like peonies, they will plant many different varieties. The flowers that bloom are different in color and look better. But the peonies here are only red.

"Peony picture," Yan Siyuan said, looking at the peony in front of him.

Qingyun suddenly realized, "No wonder we couldn't find anything in the house. The clues are here."

"It seems that the ghost is here to help us."

"So what if he helped us? It can't offset his crime of pretending to be a ghost and scaring me."

"Okay, then let's go down and settle the score with him."

Yan Siyuan threw another stone down, and soon heard a sound. It was not deep and there was no water.
