Everyone was asked, with even more doubts on their faces.

After some smart people looked at each other, they didn't know what they thought of, and they all started to make excuses to leave.

As soon as they left, the others realized something belatedly, and the expressions on their faces couldn't help but be tangled.

Obviously they also want to leave, but their status is not enough.

They were worried that if they spoke out, the general's family would have objections to them.

Seeing the confusion on their faces, Wan Shufang and Chen Changli already understood the reason.

All because there was an emperor standing behind Duke Hui Guo.

They will not be afraid of Duke Hui Guo, but they will definitely be afraid of the emperor.

Realizing that the emperor was Hui Guogong's backer, Wan Shufang felt depressed, as if a fire was burning in her heart.

Could it be that the emperor became confused as he got older?

She was about to say something when a group of officers and soldiers rushed over. Walking in front of them was a middle-aged man.

"Xiaoguan Zhao Yan has met General Chen and his wife." As soon as the middle-aged man came over, he bowed to Chen Changli and his wife in a very gentle manner, and then said the purpose of his coming, "Xiaoguan received the Someone reported it to the official, saying that the general’s wife directly killed someone, I don’t know if this is true or not?”

Zhao Yan is the son of Zhao Yunhui, Minister of War.

He himself was partial to military generals, and he also admired the general Chen Changli very much.

When he heard someone saying that his wife had killed someone, he felt that something might be going on, so he immediately rushed over with Neng.

As soon as he rushed over and saw many people lying on the ground, his eyes did not change. He looked at Chen Changli with a smile, as if waiting for his explanation.

Chen Changli noticed that his attitude was very relaxed, and his tense heartstrings relaxed a little, and then he briefly explained the matter, focusing on Duke Hui Guo's attack on the General's Mansion.

"Master Zhao, to be honest, I just returned to the capital not long ago, and I have no idea which of the nobles in the capital cannot be offended."

"As for Duke Hui Guo, that surprised me even more, because I have never met him and have little contact with his family. I really can't understand why he would target me like this."

If it was purely against him, Chen Changli would just regard it as a struggle between officials.

He just needs to counterattack quickly and seize his weakness to make him irreversible.

Who would have thought that Huiguo Guild would directly set his sights on his daughter.

How innocent his daughter is! Why do you want your reputation to be so tarnished?

As soon as Chen Changli realized how disgusting Hui Guogong's actions were, he completely hated him.

He originally wanted to use this incident to completely defeat Duke Huiguo's palace, but he never expected that Duke Huiguo was actually the emperor's cousin.

His sense of the emperor was getting worse and worse.

He even had the same thought as Wan Shufang, that is, whether the emperor became confused because of his age.

As soon as this rebellious idea came out, although he felt very bad, he increasingly believed that something was wrong with the emperor himself.

His impression of him became worse and worse, and he wished he could pull him down directly to support the crown prince.

However, such an idea was too bold, and he did not dare to show it at all. He only said with some doubts: "Master Zhao, this is what happened this time. Did Duke Huiguo come to find you? If not, I would like to ask You can do me a favor and take our couple to the Duke Huiguo’s Mansion."

"General Chen, my subordinates rushed over as soon as they heard about the general's wife. They didn't pay attention to Duke Hui Guo's affairs at all."

As soon as Zhao Yan heard that the matter was related to Duke Hui Guo, he immediately knew that someone was targeting the General's Mansion.

And Duke Hui Guo is just a chess piece in this man's hands. It is very likely that Duke Hui Guo himself doesn't even know that he is a chess piece.

"But I know a little bit about this man's past. If General Chen doesn't mind, I can tell you some irrelevant things."

There was hesitation on his face, and he deliberately lowered his voice.

"Gong Huiguo only loves beauties and only tortures women to death. He doesn't have the guts to do other things."

"So I guess someone must have taken advantage of Duke Hui Guo. If the general wants to find out about this matter, he might as well check who has contacted him recently."

After Zhao Yan said this, he quickly waved his hands and asked the soldiers he brought to take away all those people, including the bodies of Matchmaker Wang and the man.

Then he took a deep look at Chen Changli and said specifically: "My father actually admires you very much. He hopes that you can suppress the civil servants in the court in the future. And I also admire you very much and appreciate your presence in court." Heroic appearance on the battlefield, so you don’t have to worry about this matter causing trouble to you, I will find a way to solve it.”

After saying this, he turned and left.

Everyone else was surprised when he left like this.

"Why did Mr. Zhao just leave like that?"

After being surprised, some people thought that who Zhao Yan's father was had already figured it out.

They all breathed a sigh of relief and then said goodbye to Wan Shufang and his wife one by one.

Wan Shufang's face almost froze with laughter. When everyone left, she quickly pulled Chen Changli and took her children home.

When she arrived in the lobby, she quickly asked: "What did Mr. Zhao say to you?"

"He said that Duke Huiguo might have been taken advantage of." Chen Changli's face was solemn.

"How is that possible? That's a prince." Wan Shufang didn't believe it at all.

Chen Changli was doubtful: "I don't want to believe it either, but after hearing what Mr. Zhao said before leaving, I somewhat believe him, because his father is Zhao Yunhui, Minister of War."

Minister of the Ministry of War? Isn't that the leader of the generals?

If it was his son, it's no wonder that Zhao Yan came here without asking any questions, just said that and took the person away.

"But who would take advantage of Duke Hui Guo like this? Isn't he afraid that His Majesty will be angry?" Wan Shufang frowned in thought.

Chen Changli also had doubts.

He thought of the other princes and couldn't help but wonder if these people were behind the scenes.

But he couldn't just doubt these princes, after all, some people were still hiding behind the princes.

"I'm going to have someone investigate this matter. You should try to stay at home these days. Even if you want to go out, you must bring some people with you."

Wan Shufang nodded immediately: "I understand the seriousness of the matter, don't worry."

Wu Qiaoyue and the others also expressed their understanding.

Chen Changli then took some people to investigate the affairs of Duke Huiguo.

Not long after he left, Chen Xiyun, who looked haggard, fell ill.

Her illness was so severe that Wan Shufang was so frightened that she had to put all her thoughts on her and treat her.

It was discovered that her illness was caused by the pressure she had accumulated while fleeing the desert, and then it completely exploded due to the death of Matchmaker Wang.

Wan Shufang instantly knew that Chen Xiyun was suffering from a heart problem, so she immediately relieved her, and then gently coaxed her: "Xiyun, your father will take care of this matter, so don't worry too much."

"As for Duke Hui Guo, no matter whether he is being taken advantage of or not, your father and I will teach him a lesson to save you."

Chen Xiyun drank the medicine several times, and her overall energy and energy improved a lot.

Now when she heard Wan Shufang's words, she burst into tears. She cried so sadly and desperately that she seemed to want to cry out all the stress she had suffered during this period.

"Why is he doing this to me? I don't know who he is at all. Oh, mother, I'm so scared, and I'm also worried that I will cause trouble to my family."
