Gu Yan sat in the carriage, with Su Jinhua beside him. The two of them followed the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple back to Beijing together.

The third prince was originally investigating the death of an official. Now that Shen Rujun was arrested, there was no reason for him to stay in Gutian County, so he went there as well.

The Dali Temple Minister's attitude was extremely good, but at the same time he felt a little stressed, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Third Prince, the journey is a bit difficult. I don't know when I can return to the capital. The emperor is urging me to go back. If you feel tired, it's okay to come back later."

There were so many things going on in the court that it was impossible to explain them all in a few words. Everyone had their own guesses, yet they were helpless at the same time.

Zhao Moxuan shook his head subconsciously, his eyes fell on Shen Rujun not far away, his brows furrowed.

"What does the emperor mean? Why is this matter related to him?"

Logically speaking, their plan was very careful and such a situation was unlikely to occur. I'm afraid they didn't know when the truth was revealed.

Hearing this, the Dali Temple Chief Justice shook his head slowly, a hint of helplessness revealed in his eyes, and then responded.

"I just received the emperor's order. As for the specific details, I have no idea."

How could they guess what the emperor was thinking?

Zhao Moxuan just felt a little irritated and shook his head slowly.

At night, Zhao Moxuan went to visit Shen Rujun specially. He was very excited and his words were a little anxious.

"Third Prince, you have to save me. You know this. Although it has something to do with me, this was all your idea."

What an idiot, how dare he say such a thing!

The guard's eyes flashed with coldness and he immediately scolded him.

"How dare you! Who allowed you to speak to the Third Prince like that?"

Zhao Moxuan exuded a violent aura, his eyes were extremely gloomy, and there was a hint of coldness in his words.

"If this matter gets to other people's ears, do you want me to live, or do you want you to live?"

Even if he is a prince, so what? I'm afraid his fate will not be any better.

Shen Rujun then realized that he had said the wrong thing. He kept glancing around and then spoke.

"Then what should the Third Prince do?"

We can't really just ignore him!

Zhao Moxuan's expression did not change. He let out a long breath, his eyes extremely deep.

"Let's not talk about this matter for now. Anyway, your life will be saved."

As for the result, no one knows what it will be.

Shen Rujun was instantly filled with gratitude and immediately nodded in agreement, with a smile on his face.

"With the Third Prince's words, I feel relieved."

His eyes showed a sense of relaxation, and his whole mental state had improved.

Zhao Moxuan slowly lowered his brows, then turned and left, looking at the tent not far away, feeling helpless.

"I didn't expect Gu Yan'an to be such a troublemaker. No matter how much we communicated during this period, he was unwilling to give in."

The guard stood beside him, helplessness in his eyes, and spoke in a calm tone.

"Oh, Third Prince, don't worry. Even if Gu Yan'an wants to overthrow the emperor, he has to consider whether he has the strength to do so."

After all, the third prince is the emperor's child. Even if Gu Yanan really wants to do something, he has to see whether the emperor is willing to agree.

……

The next day, they set off again. Gu Yan'an had difficulty walking, so he had to stay in the carriage all day and did not show up.

Su Jinhua didn't expect the third prince to be so honest. He didn't do anything unnecessary during this period. She was a little surprised.

"It's been a peaceful journey."

I thought there would be a tough battle to fight and I had already made preparations, but I didn't expect the process to be so simple.

Gu Yanan raised his eyebrows slightly, sat in the center of the seat, his eyes were extremely deep, and there was a hint of coldness in his words.

"He doesn't want to cause trouble for us. He naturally thinks it's better to have less trouble than more, so as to avoid getting into trouble later."

There are many dangers on the way to Kyoto, but once discovered, the third prince will probably be the most suspicious person.

Even if the emperor wants to save the third prince, he has to consider Gu Yanan's identity.

Seeing this, Su Jinhua's expression became serious. The carriage was moving neither fast nor slow, and it would still take a few hours to reach Kyoto.

The third prince suddenly suggested eating at a nearby inn before leaving, and everyone naturally had no objection.

As soon as Gu Yanan sat down, he smelled the aroma of Nv'erhong wine. The corners of his mouth slightly raised and a smile appeared on his face.

"The wine that the Third Prince brought is quite good. It is indeed rare in this inn."

This kind of wine aroma probably cannot be produced without vintage, it does smell strange.

A smile appeared on Zhao Moxuan's face, his eyebrows were curved, and he obviously had some wine with him, so he started talking.

"I thought the journey was long, so I brought some wine with me. I didn't expect to have to return to Kyoto so soon, so it just so happens that it comes in handy now."

His attitude was extremely gentle and he did not show any dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Gu Yan'an acted boldly and drank the wine in one gulp. Everyone sat together drinking.

The atmosphere was tense and Zhao Moxuan then began to speak.

"You have always been loved by my father. This time, such a big thing happened in Gutian County. Shen Rujun is my man. If you can come forward, the matter can be solved better."

The Dali Temple Minister just played dumb, as if he didn't understand. He drank so much that he fell down.

Seeing this, Gu Yanan's eyes revealed a hint of coldness, but he then covered it up and pretended not to understand.

"Third Prince, what you said is serious. These matters are handed over to the Dali Temple to handle. The emperor will make the final decision. I can participate in that."

He had a drink in his hand and didn't seem to want to get closer.

Zhao Moxuan was so angry that his face turned green, but there was nothing he could do. His brows were extremely gloomy, and then he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Su Jinhua raised his brows slightly, and got on the carriage after he had almost finished eating.

The atmosphere around was very depressing. No one dared to speak and everyone's brows were furrowed.

Gu Yanan, on the other hand, had a blank expression on his face, and seemed to be living a comfortable life, calculating the time.

"With the evidence we have, it will be difficult for them to turn the tables even if they want to."

The scary thing is that the emperor deliberately wants to favor them, which would be extremely difficult for them.

Su Jinhua felt a little worried. He slowly let out a breath and then spoke to comfort her.

"We will be entering the palace soon, so you must be careful and try to protect your legs."

This period of time is a critical time. Whether you can stand up or not still requires careful care.
