After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

An hour later, the Ning'an Marquis Mansion colluded with the traitor, and the entire government immediately arrested and imprisoned him. The decree to execute him at a later date was quickly spread.

When Eunuch Zheng was delivering the order, Xiao Jinzhi also rushed over after receiving the news.

"Your Highness, this decree is the Emperor's. This old slave is just passing on a message." Eunuch Zheng looked at Xiao Jinzhi helplessly.

Looking at the servants and maids who had been surrounded by the accompanying imperial guards, Xiao Jinzhi looked serious.

"Eunuch Zheng, the traitor case has not yet been fully investigated. It would be inappropriate to take their lives now. What's more, even if Yun Chen is really the traitor, they may not know about it..."

"Your Highness." Eunuch Zheng interrupted Xiao Jinzhi and lowered his voice and said, "You should know that if the Emperor wants their lives, it would only be because they once lived under the same roof with the traitor named Yun Chen. This is enough."

"Then why did my father suddenly issue this decree?" Xiao Jinzhi glanced at the people surrounded.

They all looked panicked, obviously not expecting such a situation to happen suddenly.

As servants of the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion, if they were executed in prison, even if Xiao Rongxuan never had conclusive evidence, the common people would probably recognize this crime.

"Your Highness, you might as well ask the Emperor." Eunuch Zheng spoke calmly and respectfully.

Xiao Jinzhi's eyes fell on him, and after a moment, he said: "Gu will enter the palace now. Please wait a moment, Eunuch Zheng. Don't touch anyone in Ning'an Hou Mansion until Gu comes back from the palace."

"Your Highness, it is the Emperor's will after all. I'm afraid..."

"Eunuch Zheng has been by my father's side for many years. I think it is very clear to my father-in-law why he gave this decree." Xiao Jinzhi paused slightly, his eyes darkened, "For my father, Ning'an Marquis Mansion The lives of these people are not important. Even if my father-in-law is a little late in executing his will, my father will not care about it."

Eunuch Zheng's slightly lowered eyes moved slightly, and the next moment he raised his hands and answered: "Then please go back early, Your Highness. I will wait here."

"Qin Li, stay here. No one is allowed to touch anyone in the Ning'an Marquis Mansion before I come back." Xiao Jinzhi ordered.

"Yes, I will obey your orders. Your Highness, please rest assured!"

……

It was noon when Xiao Jinzhi entered the palace.

"So you entered the palace just for the servants of the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion?" Emperor Xiao said in a deep voice, "You are becoming more merciful now."

"Father has misunderstood. Gu Wei is his fiancée. After all, if Yan Yan knows that something happened to them, she will be sad, not to mention..."

"What's more?" Emperor Xiao asked.

"What's more, my father would not attack them for no reason, so I want to know why my father did this." Xiao Jinzhi said.

"Of course it's because I don't want this matter to continue to be delayed. I want to punish Chu Huanyan."

"Ha." Xiao Jinzhi curled his lips and smiled, obviously not believing the answer, "If the father really wanted to punish the crime, why would he let his son and his third brother argue in the morning court. For the father, watching the fire from the other side and killing people with borrowed swords Wouldn’t it be better?”

"Prince!" Emperor Xiao narrowed his eyes, "Do you know what you are talking about."

"Of course I know." Xiao Jinzhi met Xiao Emperor's gaze, "Father, I don't want to be your enemy, but if you really want to touch Yanyan or the Ning'an Marquis Mansion, I won't care. There is no such thing as a father-son relationship."

Xiao Jinzhi's tone was cold, revealing clear threats and dissatisfaction, and at the same time, there was also a hint of determination that he was ready to completely break up.

Emperor Xiao looked at Xiao Jinzhi at this moment, looking at his facial features that looked more and more like an "old friend", and felt a chill in his heart.

"I would like to hear what you mean by disregarding the love between father and son. What do you plan to do?"

There was silence in the royal study room. Xiao Jinzhi pursed his lips and spoke slowly: "I just got something today, which is about the death of the emperor's uncle. If the father is determined to punish Yan Yan, where can I The only way is to make that thing public."

As Xiao Jinzhi finished speaking, Emperor Xiao's face darkened visibly, "What you said..."

"The autographed letter from Jiang Zhou's grandfather, the imperial physician Jiang Ji, clearly explains what he did under the instruction of his father."

"Why did this thing fall into your hands?"

"Of course it's an exchange." Xiao Jinzhi smiled with a hint of ridicule, "Does the emperor really think that the third brother has devoted himself to serving you? You want to use him as a knife to kill your son, but... How can we be sure that he will not secretly use the chips in his hands to exchange for what he wants with his ministers?"

Emperor Xiao's eyes were dark, "Why should I believe your words?"

"Father, there is no need to trust my son. What I want now is not to stir up trouble in front of my father. I just want Yanyan to be safe and sound. As for the relationship between my father and my third brother, I have no intention of bending any further." It’s rounded.”

Xiao Jinzhi took a deep breath and cupped his hands towards Emperor Xiao with a serious look in his eyes.

"Father, I have no intention of being an enemy of you. Yan Yan just wants to find out the death of her parents. As long as my father is willing to be noble, I will naturally hand over the evidence in my hand."

Emperor Xiao looked at the person in front of him silently, as if he was considering how credible Xiao Jinzhi's words were.

The latter did not hide or dodge, looking directly at Emperor Xiao until the other party spoke.

"I'll think about it, Prince, please step aside first."

"What about everyone in Ning'an Hou Mansion?"

"I will have someone withdraw that decree."

"I would like to thank my father. I hope my father will consider it carefully and I will leave." Xiao Jinzhi pushed him down.

The new edict left the palace almost as soon as Xiao Jin did. From the Marquis of Ning'an's mansion, Eunuch Zheng took the imperial edict and withdrew with the Royal Forest Army.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, if you tell the emperor so straightforwardly that you and the third prince are making a deal, will the emperor believe it?" Qin Li asked with a frown after hearing Xiao Jinzhi finish what happened in the palace just now.

Emperor Xiao was suspicious, and it was impossible for him to believe His Highness just because of a few words, not to mention that this matter was an act from beginning to end, and the third prince did not know about it at all.

Although His Highness was sure that the Emperor would launch an attack on the Ning'an Marquis Mansion, and use this as a test to see if he could force His Highness to show his bargaining chip, but just to test it casually, would it be too easy for His Highness to explain everything so easily? .

"If I usually don't believe it, but now that Yan Yan is still in prison, I am worried and anxious, coupled with resentment, it is reasonable to directly tell Xiao Rongxuan."

Xiao Jinzhi slowly exhaled and continued.

"At this time, if it is too sophisticated and has no flaws, it will not seem realistic enough. Of course, if you want to make Emperor Xiao completely believe it, there is still a crucial step left."

"Which step?" Qin Li asked.

It will be updated normally starting tomorrow, thank you guys~
