"You go back to the General's Mansion." Chu Tingyu made a prompt decision, "The General's Mansion will know about these things sooner or later."

Li Jingwan nodded.

What Chu Tingyu said made sense. With the Marquis' Mansion on fire being such a big event, my mother and the others would definitely be anxious when they knew about it. It would be better for her to tell them in person.

"I'll send someone to take you back." Chu Tingyu explained, "I'm going to the palace now."

"Now?" Li Jingwan was curious, "What is the prince doing?"

"I am applying to the Emperor to immediately transfer the case of the Marquis' Mansion to the Dali Temple for trial."

Although Madam Qin and others were imprisoned in the Dali Temple, the case should actually be tried by Yingtian Prefecture.

If it is to be transferred to the Dali Temple, it is necessary to report to Yingtian Prefecture and obtain approval before transferring it, but this will delay time.

If the emperor issues an order, the case can be transferred immediately, and the Dali Temple will pay more attention to it.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness." Li Jingwan understood the reason and was deeply moved.

Although a prince, Chu Tingyu is willing to handle the case personally.

"This is what I should do." Chu Tingyu said, "I, Qin Chongxiao, and your brother are all comrades in arms. How can I just sit there and watch them being harmed?"

There was anger and regret in his words.

They were good men who defended their country, but they were harmed by villains. It is really heartbreaking.

-

After simply treating Li Jingwan's wound, Chu Tingyu arranged for Qi Ming and another guard to escort her back to the general's mansion, and at the same time arranged for people to control the remaining people in the marquis' mansion.

The rain stopped and the sun rose, indicating that today will be a good day.

After entering the mansion, Li Jingwan asked the servants not to disturb others.

She took a shower and changed her clothes first, and after she had re-bandaged her wound, Yao and his group, who had heard about this early in the morning, arrived.

When Yao saw her, she burst into tears. Li Huirou also clenched her handkerchief and cried sadly.

Li Langqing clenched his fists in hatred. If Xiang Mingfang hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed to the Marquis' Mansion to fight them to the death.

Li Jingwan comforted her and repeatedly assured her that she was fine.

"Mother, Huirou, if you keep crying, I will cry too." Li Jingwan said deliberately, "When I cry, my wound will hurt easily."

Yao tried hard to hold back her tears, filled with hatred.

"It's all my fault. I should have brought you back yesterday even if I risked my life. Qin Changzhou and his men were so bold that they dared to set fire and kill people. Jingwan, human hearts are unfathomable."

"Got it, Mom. I'll listen to you next time."

"Will there be a next time?" Yao glared.

"It's gone, definitely gone." Li Jingwan quickly changed her words and assured, "From now on, my daughter will be very cautious and will never take any risks."

Seeing that Yao's emotions had stabilized, she sent the servants away, leaving only Yao and three others and Xiang Mingfang in the room.

"Mother, my daughter has something important to tell you."

Seeing her serious expression, Yao knew that the matter was serious, so she wiped her eyes and said, "You say."

So, Li Jingwan started from how Qin Chongxiao was exchanged into the Marquis' Mansion, to how he and Li Dingzheng were killed by Qin Changzhou, and finally to what happened yesterday when the life stories of Qin Guangyao and his sister were revealed.

Yao's face was full of surprise, then turned into grief and anger. Even though her hand was held by Li Jingwan, it was still shaking. "Dingzheng, Dingzheng..."

She always thought that her son was killed by the enemy and never thought that he died at the hands of Qin Changzhou.

At this moment, she wished she could cut the beast Qin Changzhou into pieces.

Everyone in the room was filled with grief and anger. Even Li Huirou, who was usually the gentlest, gritted her teeth and showed murderous intent on her face.

Xiang Mingfang only regretted that he did not listen to Zhu Gaozhi's advice last time and put Qin Changzhou in a sack and beat him up.

"Mother, don't worry. I have already informed Prince Jing of these things. Prince Jing has already entered the palace and asked for the emperor's grace to transfer the case to the Dali Temple for trial. I have witnesses, they can't get away."

Li Jingwan was worried that her mother would get sick from being angry, so she and Li Huirou kept patting her back to comfort her.

Yao was so angry that her heart ached, but she held on with all her strength and gritted her teeth, "I will definitely watch them go to hell."

They killed her son, sucked the blood of the General's Mansion, and are going to harm her daughter. These beasts in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, she will make them pay the price even if she risks her life.

"Yes." Li Jingwan said softly, "They will not die well."

-

After Chu Tingyu entered the palace, he waited for a while and was directly invited into the bedroom of the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Chu Yin was getting dressed with the help of a young eunuch. When he saw his favorite son, a smile appeared on his face.

"I heard from Cheng Deying that you entered the palace at 1:15 a.m." Chu Yin glanced at him. "You paid the fee and returned to Beijing without even changing your clothes. What's the hurry?"

"I am ashamed to disturb your father's rest." Chu Tingyu clasped his fists and saluted.

"I, your son, do have urgent matters to report. This matter concerns the succession of the title and the truth behind the death of two of our generals, one of whom was Li Dingzheng, the son of General Li Beiwang. It also involves the life of Li Beiwang's legitimate daughter, and it almost implicates dozens of lives."

Chu Yin's face turned serious. He waved his hand and asked the eunuch to leave first. "Stand up and talk. Explain everything in detail."

After Chu Tingyu finished talking about the relevant matters, there was obvious anger in Chu Yin's eyes.

"How could a small Wu'an Marquisate dare to commit such a heinous crime."

"Pass on my oral order. This case will be immediately handed over to the Dali Temple for trial. The Dali Temple Minister Dong Ruxu will personally try the case. The Censorate, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple will jointly try the case. Prince Jing, you will be responsible for supervision."

"This case must be resolved within five days. Anyone who obstructs will be treated as an accomplice."

"Yes, your son obeys your order." Chu Tingyu said loudly.

The news that Chu Tingyu entered the palace overnight soon spread in the court, and naturally reached the ears of the second prince Chu Tingjue.

After the morning court session, he returned home and called his aide Jiang Micheng.

"Chu Tingyu has always been low-key and rarely interacted with his mentor. But this time he ran to Wu'an Marquis's mansion in the middle of the night to put out a fire and even went to the palace to ask for an order overnight. It's really weird."

Jiang Micheng was good at getting information, and he went to find someone to check it out early in the morning.

"Your Highness, Li Jingwan, the mistress of Wu'an Marquis's Mansion, is Li Beiwang's legitimate daughter, and Chu Tingyu even sent someone to send Li Jingwan back to the General's Mansion this morning."

"He had served in Li Beiwang's army in the past, and he had a close relationship with Li Dingzheng. After returning to Beijing, he not only paid tribute to Li Dingzheng, but also personally visited the general's residence. I think he joined in because of the Li family."

Chu Tingjue still felt that there was something else going on.

"Li Beiwang and Li Dingzheng died long ago, and the other forces of the Li family were of little help to him. But he stood up this time, and it's not just that simple."

"Go check again, especially the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion, and check carefully to see if you can find anything that can be of benefit to us."

The eldest prince is deceased, and the third prince was born to a palace maid. He has never been valued by the emperor and has no possibility of succeeding to the throne.

The fifth prince died young, the sixth prince was less than four years old, and his biological mother was just a concubine, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Among all the princes, only the fourth prince Chu Tingyu was conferred the title of prince. Concubine Zhong had great power in the harem, and the one he feared the most was Chu Tingyu.

Therefore, anything related to Chu Tingyu must not be missed.

Chu Tingyu acted very ostentatiously in this matter, which was totally inconsistent with his usual style.

Chu Tingjue hopes to find some useful information from it. If he wants to defeat Chu Tingyu, he needs to be extremely careful.
