Huo Yunjue coaxed Ning Ziqing for a while, and then Ning Ziqing gradually calmed down.

Then, Ning Ziqing told him some important things from his previous life.

She told Huo Yunjue that the prince would be deposed this year, and this was due to the second prince's handiwork.

But because she was deceived and used by Huo Yunhong at the time and had no access to his most core secrets, there were still many things that Ning Ziqing didn't know.

In addition, Ning Ziqing vaguely felt as if he had lost some memories of his previous life.

After being poisoned by Zhu An, she fell into a nightmare. The pictures she saw in the dream made her feel very strange. No matter how much she thought about it, she could not remember this memory.

Ning Ziqing was very confused and couldn't help but wonder if he had soaked in the Xu family's lake for too long on the day he was reborn, causing damage to his brain and losing part of his memory.

After hearing this, Huo Yunjue quickly comforted her. Maybe it was because there were too many things and it was so long ago that it was normal for him to not be able to remember them for a while.

He also reminded Ning Ziqing that things in nightmares may not necessarily happen in reality. They may be imaginary images produced by Ning Ziqing's inner demons, presented in dreams.

But Ning Ziqing said that she heard that the second prince asked someone to arrange things in Cangzhou to take advantage of her identity.

Ning Ziqing guessed that the second prince probably wanted to take advantage of her relationship with the Fu family to seek benefits.

She told Huo Yunjue that she had no contact with anyone from the Fu family in her previous life until her death.

Will the second prince let someone pretend to be him, identify with the Fu family, and then use the Fu family's financial resources and maritime trade to achieve his evil intentions?

Ning Ziqing's conjecture reminded Huo Yunjue, and he suddenly remembered what Gu Liaohe mentioned before about foreigners pretending to be pirates and entering Gucheng to steal refined iron and weapons.

In addition, Chen Tu was a member of the second prince, which all showed that Cangzhou and Gucheng were secretly manipulated by the second prince and secretly colluded with Qian Yeguo.

After careful analysis by the two, they determined that the second prince had found someone to pretend to be Ning Ziqing in his previous life to contact the Fu family, and the biggest suspect was Ning Zilan.

Ning Zilan and Ning Ziqing were related by blood. Although they had the same father and mother, they looked similar, and no one from the Fu family had ever seen Ning Ziqing in their previous life.

Therefore, by letting Ning Zilan pretend to be someone else, he could easily get away with it.

Thinking of this, Ning Ziqing hated Ning Zilan even more.

She hated Ning Zilan for having an affair with the second prince in her previous life. The two of them conspired to frame her, deceive her, and even use her to take away the family ties of the Fu family from her.

Ning Ziqing's face was gloomy and angry. He was so excited that he wanted to return to Kyoto immediately to kill Ning Zilan and the second prince.

Huo Yunjue calmed Ning Ziqing's emotions and told her not to be anxious. After handling the affairs in Cangzhou in the past few days, he would return to Kyoto with her immediately and start arranging plans to deal with Ning Zilan and the second prince.

Ning Ziqing finally calmed down, and finally reminded Huo Yunjue to interrogate Chen Tu and Long Lin, asking them to admit that the second prince was behind the scenes and collect evidence.

Then, with these evidences of crime, they were escorted back to Kyoto to identify the second prince in front of His Majesty and expose his crime of liaison with the enemy in person.

Huo Yunjue agreed wholeheartedly, saying that he and Gu Liaohe had actually been interrogating these two people in the government prison during this period.

However, no results came out of the trial. Long Lin only said that the Lord of Kyoto sent Chen Tu to send a message and assisted him in smuggling refined iron and weapons to Jiewu Island for temporary storage.

Afterwards, Chen Tu will notify and arrange for other cargo ships to be transported to Jiewu Island.

Long Lin knew nothing about anything else. Gu Liaohe and Huo Yunjue interrogated him again and again, but Long Lin's confession was the same.

As for the collusion between Fu Yujie and the pirates, it was because Long Lin approached him to cooperate and tempted Fu Yujie with a large amount of money.

Every time Long Lin finished his robbery, he asked Fu Yujie to secretly send the Fu family's cargo ship to the sea area near Cangzhou to help transport the stolen goods that Long Lin and the others had robbed to Cangzhou.

Then sell the stolen goods through Xianju Pavilion in exchange for money, and divide the stolen goods with Long Scale.

Huo Yunjue told Ning Ziqing that Fu Yujie was not involved in the smuggling of fine iron.Let Ning Ziqing relax so that the Fu family will not be implicated.

However, Chen Tu was very stubborn and was unwilling to confess the second prince despite all kinds of torture.The case made no progress for a while, and Huo Yunjue also felt a headache.

Ning Ziqing had no choice but to ask Huo Yunjue to think of another way to pry open Chen Tu's mouth and make him confess the second prince, so that they could have a chance of winning when they returned to Kyoto.

After discussing for a long time, the two felt a little hungry.

Huo Yunjue asked Ning Ziqing to lie down and rest for a while, then he got up and got out of bed and ordered his servants to prepare food.

After walking out of the door, he saw Wei Feng coming back to report the matter to him. Huo Yunjue's eyes signaled to Wei Feng that he would talk later, and asked Qiang Ze and Qingxu to leave.

Then, he said to Wei Feng with a serious expression: "Call Yaoyao back!"

When Wei Feng heard this, his eyes widened in shock, and Wei Yu jumped back two steps in shock.

"Your Highness, don't scare us!" Wei Yu cried sadly.

"Your Highness, have you really decided?" Wei Feng came back to his senses and confirmed to Huo Yunjue again.

"I'm not joking with you. Get Yaoyao back as soon as possible. I have important things for her to do!"

Huo Yunjue's expression became solemn, as if he had made a major decision.

"Your Highness, please spare us. Wei Feng and I will work harder to complete everything you asked. Please take back Cheng's orders and don't let Yaoyao come back!"

Wei Yu stepped forward and hugged Huo Yunjue's thigh and begged, with a sad face.

Huo Yunjue stared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "You think I want to call her back? This is not done because I have no other choice!"

"Wei Yu, don't mess around. Your Highness must have a deep meaning in doing this!" Wei Feng scolded and pulled Wei Yu up.

He immediately replied to Huo Yunjue: "I will go and deliver the message immediately. Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Huo Yunjue nodded and asked him: "What did you want to report just now?"

"Back to Your Highness, the resettlement of the Jiewudao Islanders has encountered obstacles. Cangzhou Prefect He Youjing is unwilling to arrange a place for them to live." Wei Feng replied.

Huo Yunjue frowned, "He Youjing didn't even listen to His Highness's orders!"

"He claimed that Cangzhou City could not find enough land to resettle so many islanders. If the land was to be expropriated, a large amount of compensation would need to be paid. He had to report it to the court and wait for the court's approval to allocate funds before resettlement could be carried out." Wei Feng answered truthfully.

"This dog officer!" Huo Yunjue scolded, furious.

He Youjing is obviously delaying on purpose. After he leaves Cangzhou, he doesn't know how long it will take before the resettlement problem of the islanders can be properly solved.

"Your Highness, please give us instructions on how we should handle this matter next?" Wei Feng asked worriedly.

Huo Yunjue pinched his nose in annoyance and didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Is this such a small thing worth getting angry at?" Ning Ziqing suddenly walked up to Huo Yunjue and handed him a brocade box.

"This is it?" Huo Yunjue asked doubtfully.

"My grandfather gave me half of the Fu family's property. There are some real estate, village and farm properties in Cangzhou. You can choose whatever you want!" Ning Ziqing replied.

“Are you going to use this land to resettle islanders?”
