Oiran son

"Yes..." Chang Xi was halfway through his words, he hesitated and didn't know how to continue, so as to avoid being angered by the prince, but before he could figure out why, he heard the other party's voice asking again.

"Have those evidences been handed over to the emperor for review, and how did he react? Has he ordered the fifth younger brother to be taken into custody?" After a pause, the prince shook his head, as if thinking of something funny.

"Based on Father's temper, if he knew that the fifth younger brother did such a traitorous thing, he would be taken into custody immediately. Of course, after calming down, he should interrogate the fifth younger brother and ask him why he did that. …”

Hearing the prince's smug tone, Chang Xi's face became more and more strange. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. He hesitated for a while, and then he stammered.

"I didn't give the evidence to the emperor... I couldn't find the evidence in the palace..."

The prince suddenly opened his eyes, and shot at Chang Xi with a knife-sharp gaze, "What did you say?"

Under the gaze of the prince, Chang Xi had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"Before, I made arrangements to have people hide the evidence of the fifth prince's collusion with Zhu Xu in the study. Our people only need to pretend to be able to search for those evidences. But I don't know what happened , They almost searched the palace to the bottom, but they couldn't find any evidence..."

"Trash!" The prince was so angry that he kicked Chang Xi to the ground, his face was full of anger.

After being kicked, his chest hurt so badly that he could hardly breathe, but Chang Xi didn't dare to show a trace of resentment on his face. Instead, he got up in fear, begged the prince for mercy, and tried to shirk responsibility.

"There must be a traitor who leaked our previous plan, and the fifth prince will be one step ahead of us and destroy the evidence..."

Listening to Chang Xi's analysis, a pensive look flashed across the prince's face.

"Prince, although she is forced to obey our orders, there is no guarantee that she will not let the Fifth Prince go. After all, they are husband and wife. If something happens to him, as a wife, she cannot be alone."

Hearing this, the prince's face became extremely cold. If that woman dared to betray him, he would make her pay the price!

"Find it out for me, what's going on!"

Hearing this order, Chang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he replied respectfully, "Yes." Then he retreated.

At the same time, Yueming, who was also puzzled, was listening to the report of the personal maid Osmanthus fragrans.

"Princess, I have hidden that thing in the study room according to your instructions, after that, no one else has entered the study room except the prince..."

"You mean, the crown prince's people couldn't find the evidence, so it was discovered and destroyed by the prince?"

Osmanthus fragrans nodded, then shook her head again. Seeing Yueming frowned, she realized that there was something wrong with her expression, so she explained.

"On the surface, the evidence should have been discovered and destroyed by the prince. It's just that the place where the evidence is stored is not easily found by ordinary people. I really don't understand how the prince found it."

In order to prevent people from discovering the evidence easily, she hid the evidence in the floor under the table. Unless they were insiders, no one would think that there was something there.As a prince, she really couldn't figure out how he would find out that the evidence was hidden under the floor.

Yueming was not in the mood to investigate how Yeluqi found those 'evidences', she only cared about whether he would find out that the matter was related to her.

"Did anyone notice when you put those things in the study?"

"No! I only sneaked into the study when there was no one else... Besides, the prince would never suspect the empress. After all, with the relationship between you, both of you will be prosperous, and you will lose if you lose. …”

Yueming smiled wryly, yes, she and Yeluqi are husband and wife, if something happens to him, she can't get rid of it, so he never thought that she would betray him.

"Niang Niang?" Seeing Yueming's bitter expression, Osmanthus wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, a maid was standing outside the door and gestured to Osmanthus fragrans, as if she had something to report.Looking at Yueming who was in a daze, Osmanthus nodded, and then the maid came in from the door, walked up to Osmanthus, and said something to her in a low voice.

"You said Fan Yi came back with that Xia Guo kid?" After hearing the maid's report, Osmanthus fragrans yelled out for a moment.

Yueming came back to his senses, and looked at Osmanthus fragrans in confusion, "Who did you say came back just now?"

"Fan Yi and Luo Yun are back. I heard that the prince specially brought them back." Osmanthus fragrans paused, a little hesitant, not knowing whether to tell another matter, but she saw Yueming said with a serious face. .

"My lord is really confused! The prince's assassination is not over yet, yet he actually brought back the criminals. Does he think he's not suspected enough?"

With that said, she stood up angrily and walked towards the door of the room.She walked too fast, and Osmanthus couldn't hold her back even if she wanted to, so she hurriedly followed her.

"My lord!" Yueming walked into the middle hall excitedly, and saw that Fan Yi and Luo Yun were talking about something with Yeluqi, and the three of them had a very happy chat, but when they saw her coming in, they stopped at the same time.

"My lord, why are you so confused? They are criminals and have a great relationship with the assassination of the prince. You brought them back, didn't you tell everyone that you have something to do with the prince?"

Hearing Yueming's accusation, the smile on Yeluqi's face faded, and he said with some displeasure: "Princess, please be careful, they have nothing to do with the prince's affairs at all, and they are not criminals."

Before, because the father listened to the prince's words, he sent people to search the palace, but nothing was found.And after he took the opportunity to present counter-evidence of his innocence, in order to compensate him, his father revoked Luo Yun's order as he wished.

Fan Yi also smiled and said: "The Holy Majesty has already found out that we have nothing to do with the assassination of the prince, and we have been cleared. If the princess insists that we are criminals, then the prince who took us in is our accomplice?"

Luo Yun smiled and made up the knife, "Could it be that the princess wants to tell others that the prince is guilty? You shouldn't be so stupid, right?"

Yueming was blocked by the two of them talking to each other, and I couldn't speak for a while, so I could only stare at them, and looked at Yeluqi sadly as if thinking of something.

"My lord, even if they are no longer listed criminals, but you have given them to the crown prince before, if you let them come back now, how will you explain to the crown prince in the future?"

Yeluqi frowned, "They were originally my people, and I had to agree to lend them to the prince because I didn't want to tear myself apart, but this doesn't mean that I'm really afraid of him! Since he Don't blame me for being unkind to me!"

"But—" Yueming wanted to say something, but Yeluqi interrupted her impatiently.

"That's enough! I've already decided on this matter, so you don't need to say anything more. By the way, you go and give them the account book and account key of the palace."
