Yan Qi felt relieved when he heard that Emperor Hui had ordered the city defense camp to deal with Prince Xuan's palace.

As long as Prince Xuan's Palace falls into the hands of the city defense camp, Yan Qi will definitely find what he is looking for.

"Yes, I obey your order!"

Seeing Yan Qi agree, Lord Cui and the prefect of Jingzhao also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they have the assistance of the city defense camp, there will be no need to worry about the evidence of Prince Xuan's mansion's crimes. These past few days, the two of them were almost driven crazy by the court officials.

The officials whose family members were killed or injured not only made trouble in the government office, but their official residences were also constantly disturbed, making them unable to sleep peacefully day and night, but they could not vent their anger.

Now that I have Emperor Hui's decree, I can finally sleep peacefully.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, the behavior of the commoner Yan Xu this time is terrible. Your Majesty should not only convict Yan Xu, but also comfort the officials who were harmed."

The prime minister looked at Emperor Hui with rare satisfaction. Perhaps it was because of his injury today that Emperor Hui's mind became clear for once.

The prime minister hurriedly gave advice to appease the court officials.

"Let the Ministry of Revenue investigate and appease these matters. Once the Ministry of Justice and the Jingzhao Yin Yamen have thoroughly investigated the case, the Ministry of Revenue can proceed according to the regulations."

The Minister of Revenue hurriedly accepted the task.

After talking for so long, Emperor Hui felt that he was too tired to bear it any longer. Besides, King Xuan, who made him the most angry, had already been dealt with. So Emperor Hui signaled Eunuch Huang to take away the cushion and lay down flat.

"I am seriously injured and need to rest. If there is nothing else, you can leave. If there is anything else, the Prime Minister will handle it."

After saying this, Emperor Hui closed his eyes and said no more, and everyone tactfully left.

But before everyone left Jiaotai Hall, Emperor Hui's voice came,

"Mu'er, stay. I will feel at ease with you by my side."

The King of Jin frowned for only a moment, then immediately calmed down and bowed and replied,

"Yes, Father."

After saying that, he gave Yan Qi a look, meaning: I can't leave, I leave the outside to you!

Yan Qi didn't even bother to look at him and just left Jiaotai Hall.

What an attitude!

If it weren't for the fact that they were in front of his father in Jiaotai Hall, Prince Jin would have rushed over to make a scene with Yan Qi. Now he could only restrain his expression and accompany Emperor Hui submissively.

I don't know if he was frightened, but Emperor Hui did not spend any time with the ladies in the harem while recuperating from his injuries. He just let Prince Jin stay by his side every day.

When the concubines in the harem came to pay their respects, Emperor Hui was always indifferent.

Even when Concubine Yun made a big fuss in her own palace after learning that King Xuan had been demoted to a commoner, Emperor Hui did not ask about it. He only issued an order to depose Concubine Yun and told the empress to deal with it herself.

Prince Jin was left in the palace and couldn't get away, while Yan Qi was busy outside.

First, he led people from the city defense camp to search Prince Xuan's palace.

Yan Qi saw Yu Ying'er and Zhou Pei, who were in disfigured form, and Yu Ying'er had already miscarried.

In just a few days, the two of them looked like the living dead, lifeless.

I only roll on the ground in pain when I suffer the backlash every day.

Yan Qi finally understood what Pasi's mother meant by not being able to commit suicide. After enduring the backlash, the two of them probably didn't have the strength to move.

And when the attack was happening, the inhuman torture made it impossible for them to do anything else.

Yan Qi ordered his men to lock the two of them up in one of the courtyards of Prince Xuan's palace, and to deliver food to them as usual every day. If they had any other illnesses, they would receive timely medical treatment.

He wanted these two people to live well and feel this pain for a long time.

When making these arrangements, Yan Qi had a cold expression on his face. He had never been a good person and he would be even less merciful towards bad guys.

Mu Xiao personally led the team to confiscate King Xuan's property and searched every place thoroughly, even exploring every inch of King Xuan's study and secret room.

Yan Qi stood with his hands behind his back in the main hall of Prince Xuan's mansion. Mu Xiao came over to report.

"Master, we have searched the entire Xuanwang Mansion, but still can't find it."

Yan Qi didn't even turn his head after hearing this.

"This is his last life-saving device, so it won't be found so easily. Don't worry, we still have plenty of time."

"Master, I am incompetent. Please punish me."

Mu Xiao knew how important the things hidden by King Xuan were to Yan Qi, and he sincerely apologized to Yan Qi.

"Get up, this is not your fault, let's go to the prison to meet that man."

Hearing Yan Qi's soft voice, Mu Xiao was stunned at first, then his eyes became firm.

"Master, just do whatever you want me to do. I will follow you till death!"

Yan Qi stopped talking and walked out of Prince Xuan's mansion. After he got out of the door, Yan Qi mounted his horse and went directly to the city defense camp.

In the deepest part of the city defense camp prison, there is a special cell, the entire cell is made of fine iron.

Yan Qi passed through three doors before entering.

The old man was still sitting there, just like the last time Yan Qi came.

"You're here."

Every time Yan Qi came, he said this.

This time Yan Qi was different from before. He didn't say a word and just stared at him.

After a while, Yan Qi finally spoke.

"I went to Ganzhou, the Xie family in Ganzhou."

The man in the prison was stunned when he heard this, and after a moment his eyes turned red. He looked up at Yan Qi, with all kinds of mixed emotions in his eyes.

It seemed like there was attachment and expectation, but it was replaced by a stronger hatred.

"What do you know?"

He asked this question in a hoarse voice, and the people in the prison stared at Yan Qi without blinking.

"Wanqing, I know her name is Wanqing. I know she was originally from the Xie family and died in the Xie family."

Yan Qi's eyes also turned red, and his hands, which were tightly grasping the prison door, were trembling slightly.

The man in the prison finally couldn't hold on any longer, tears rolled down his eyes, he closed his eyes and sighed.

“Wanqing, I kept this secret for more than 20 years and didn’t go to accompany you, but he is your son after all, and he is as smart as you.

Even if I said nothing, he still knew the truth. Wanqing, your efforts have not been in vain, he has grown up to be what you hoped for. "

The people in the prison sighed, and Yan Qi ordered Mu Xiao to open the cell door and walk in.

Yan Qi took out the key and removed the chains that had been locked on him for more than twenty years, then sat quietly beside him.

"You are my mother's guard. What should I call you?"

"No, I'm not your mother's bodyguard. I was sent by the Xie family to monitor him. Your mother never calls me by my name. She only calls me 'Hello'."

When talking about Yan Qi's mother, his eyes were full of tenderness and many unspeakable emotions.

“I am the Xie family’s secret guard. After I joined the Xie family, I only had a code name and no longer had a real name. Before your mother passed away, she gave me a name - Shouyi.

She said that if a person can keep his original intention throughout his life, it is the best. "

"Shouichi-senpai."

Yan Qi stood up and saluted to Shou.

He had been locked up here for so many years, and this was the first time Yan Qi spoke to him calmly and there was no more tension.

This time during his trip to Ganzhou, Yan Qi not only uprooted the Xie family, but also investigated the cause of his mother's death.

The Xie family did such a thing, it is not an exaggeration to grind them to ashes!

However, Yan Qi still didn't know many details about what happened back then, so he came here to ask Shouyi, the man who had always been with his mother and knew everything that happened back then.
