The third prince used to be just a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.

Although he was very young, he liked strange and eccentric things. A few years ago, he cried and shouted that he wanted to investigate a case. The emperor had no choice but to hand the child over to the inspector.

This is no secret in the capital.

But Xiao Cen shook his head, "It's not him, that person is now the Fourth Prince."

"Ah?" Lin Chunhuan was even more confused. "It's not him, it's..."

"You know him too."

Looking at Xiao Cen's eyes, Lin Chunhuan's mind flashed with Aqing's face for no reason, and then he saw Xiao Cen nodded, "It's that Master Aqing."

The movement of his hands suddenly stopped.

After listening to Xiao Cen's brief account of the matter between Aqing and his mother, Lin Chunhuan slowly calmed down and asked uncertainly, "So, the eldest son somehow found out about the identity of the third prince and deliberately made friends with him, and also intentionally or unintentionally revealed his dissatisfaction with the crown prince's succession to the throne?"

Xiao Cen nodded again, "In fact, the emperor has mentioned this to me, but I have never cared about his harem, and I have never met that lady."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to recognize the Third Prince."

In fact, Xiao Cen was being modest. It was not because he didn't care that he hadn't seen it. The abnormal weather in recent days, the continuous requests for help from all over the country, and the increasing number of victims pouring into the capital.

The blizzards continued and houses were constantly crushed.

The emperor handled half of these matters one by one, and with the help of the crown prince, he was able to hold on for a while. The other half depended entirely on Xiao Cen alone.

People are busy like spinning tops, spinning non-stop for twelve hours, to put it bluntly.

Xiao Cen's return home to look for someone was considered a vacation for him. At least he could rest for a while in the carriage. In such a serious situation, the emperor did not dare to disturb Xiao Cen with those messy little matters.

Lin Chunhuan saw it clearly and did not mention the matter of the Third Prince anymore. She just held Xiao Cen's hand and looked at him with eyes full of heartache.

Although she knew that she would never love anyone again, even if that person was Xiao Cen, but putting aside his identity as a lover, Xiao Cen was truly a hero.

She was willing to lie to him for her whole life, and her eyes were filled with heartache and love. "Don't tire yourself out. It's such a big country, can it not survive without you?"

"Besides being afraid that you will exhaust yourself, I am also afraid that you..."

Lin Chunhuan did not say the rest of the words. Although this was the palace and the news here would not leak out, the four words "greater achievements than the master" were too heavy.

Once you get involved, there will be no good results.

Xiao Cen was a smart man. He nodded when he heard this. "I understand what Ah Huan is worried about, but the people are in danger right now. There is no time for me to think about my future."

"All right."

Seeing the little face in front of him covered with a cloud of gloom, Xiao Cen felt so distressed that he wanted to rub that person into his own flesh and blood. "I am Xiao Cen, don't you think Ah Huan believes me?"

"Let's go quickly. Let's not talk about the future. If we can't handle this matter today, I'm afraid there will be no future for our entire Pingyang Palace."

After hearing Xiao Cen's words, Lin Chunhuan didn't say anything else and quickly followed him into the carriage.

What happened today is really weird.

The third prince was helping them rescue people in the palace, and as soon as he left, he went to the palace to file a complaint. His ideas were so bizarre that it was hard to understand.

But what Lin Chunhuan couldn't understand even more was Xiao Jinan's behavior.

In her previous life, she died too young and did not see the crown prince ascend the throne, and of course there was no third prince. But from the surface, the crown prince's position is quite stable, and nothing should go wrong.

Then why did Xiao Jinan secretly contact the third prince?

The fact that his purpose was discovered after he took action only proves that Xiao Jinan and the Third Prince did not know each other in his previous life. Otherwise, he could have just let nature take its course and get to know the other party according to the trajectory of his previous life.

It would never have led to the current situation where we were outmaneuvered.

We didn’t know each other in the previous life, but in this life I tried my best to get to know each other.

Apart from the fact that in the previous life, Xiao Jinan witnessed with his own eyes that the third prince became the one who had the last laugh, Lin Chunhuan could not think of a second possibility for Xiao Jinan's current actions.

The Prince of Pingyang's Mansion was not far from the Imperial Palace. When getting off the carriage, Lin Chunhuan couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Lang, what is the situation of the eldest son now? Where is he imprisoned?"

"Dali Temple."

Xiao Cen stretched out his hand and slowly helped the person down. "Although the Rose Garden is a courtyard opened in the palace, it also has a door directly to the outside. You can enter directly without entering the palace."

"Ouchi directly arrested that bastard from Rose Garden without informing us in advance."

Hearing this, Lin Chunhuan also fell silent.

She could probably guess why Xiao Cen looked so unhappy.

The palace arrested the man but kept his identity a secret, and no news leaked out from beginning to end. If the emperor had not specifically instructed, who would have the courage to do so?

All these signs indicate that the trust of the person in the palace seems to be slowly disappearing. He has become wary and suspicious, and everything that follows is a natural consequence.

The situation of someone being more successful than his boss won't stop happening again just because we keep silent about it.

"Your Highness, I, Xiao Cen, and my wife, Lin Chunhuan, come to pay my respects to His Majesty."

Lin Chunhuan followed behind Xiao Cen and knelt down to pay homage to the almighty emperor. They were not in the Golden Palace, but in the more private imperial study.

In addition to the emperor, the crown prince and the third prince stood on both sides of the dragon throne. Not far away, kneeling and trembling, Xiao Jinan and Concubine Qian.

Even Lin Chu Nuan was there.

Hmm? Concubine Qian?

Lin Chunuan?

What does this matter have to do with these two people?

Before Lin Chunhuan could figure it out, the emperor had already sighed and walked forward to help them both up. "Xiao Cen, Xiao Cen, you and I are brothers. I really..."

Before the emperor could finish his words, the prince had already taken half a step forward anxiously, "Father, do you really believe what these two people said?"

"I have no quarrel with my uncle. How could he intend to change the crown prince and instruct the two of them to instigate my third brother to rebel? This... this is simply nonsense and a deliberate slander!"

"shut up!"

Before the prince finished speaking, the emperor glanced at him coldly, his expression full of dissatisfaction, "After being the prince for so many years, you should have learned something by being by my side, but you are still so impatient."

The prince was stunned for a moment, then stood back and said, "I know I was wrong."

"I'm telling you a joke."

The emperor smiled at Xiao Cen, and his expression was no different from before.
