Hua Zhihe taught with a solemn expression, and Hua Xiangyang obeyed obediently. Now, the anger on his face was gone.

The palace guard came to report: "Your Majesty, there is someone outside the palace asking to see you, saying he is the son of your old friend."

"Xiang Yang, take a rest for a while." Hua Zhihe ordered with a normal expression before walking towards the outside of the house.

"I'm exhausted." Watching Hua Zhihe go away, Hua Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief and simply sat on the ground and relaxed.

No wonder Nan Yuanchen let him go and handed him over to King Xuanyang with confidence. This King Xuanyang was really not an ordinary person. He didn't dare to act rashly in front of him. He always felt that he was already in his hands.

"Who are these people?" Looking at the people at the door who he didn't recognize at all, Hua Zhihe's expression remained as usual.

Li Jinran said: "Nan Yuanchen asked us to come to you."

Hua Zhihe knew that Nan Yuanchen was Mu Chennian, and he was the son of Emperor Qing.

"Come in." Hua Zhihe didn't ask any more questions. No one knew about his relationship with Nan Yuanchen except the people from Emperor Qing and Pingyang Houfu.

"Sit..." Hua Zhihe led several people into the hall.

Li Jinran and others looked at Hua Zhihe, and Hua Zhihe was also looking at them.

Awen and Lianlian stood behind Li Jinran and Bei Yujue, obviously their maid guards, a man, a woman, and a little girl with outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament.

"What did Nian'er ask you to do?" Hua Zhihe asked with a normal expression.

Li Jinran looked at the servants around him with a vague expression.

Hua Zhihe knew that she was caring about the servants in the hall, "It doesn't hurt to just tell me anything. These are trustworthy people."

In the past two years or so, he has eliminated all the spies and traitors in the government, and they are all people he can trust.

"We should call you uncle!" Li Jinran said with a smile, "Xiao Yongpei is my adoptive father, and she is Xiao Yongli's daughter."

Li Jinran pointed at Xiaoying next to her.

Hearing this, Hua Zhihe looked at Xiaoying and said, "He does look a bit like his second brother."

Although Hua Zhihe's expression remained as usual, Li Jinran could tell that he was a little happy at the moment, because there was light in his eyes. When he was at the door of the house just now, his eyes were as calm as water, without any ripples.

Li Jinran continued: "We came to uncle this time because we want to know about the situation in Xiyue Kingdom, such as Prince Yu's Mansion."

"Why are you asking about him?" Hua Zhihe's face remained as usual.

"I suspect that he killed my parents." Xiaoying looked slightly cold.

Hua Zhihe's expression suddenly changed, "Is your father dead?"

Xiaoying nodded, "My mother was originally engaged to Prince Yu, and later she was chosen as the miko heir. My mother regretted the marriage on this grounds, but she ran away from home after meeting my father."

"So you suspect that Prince Yu killed your parents?" Hua Zhihe asked.

Li Jinran and Bei Yujue also listened carefully, because Xiaoying had never told them these things.

"Because at first he just wanted to kill my father. After my father died, my mother took me back to my grandparents' house. However, after my grandparents kicked me out, Prince Yu even approached my mother and said that she wanted to marry her. My mother didn’t agree, and later on, my mother was poisoned like my father and died.”

Li Jinran said: "Xiaoying, how did you escape?"

"After my mother died, Prince Yu sent people to look for me everywhere. I disguised myself as a beggar and escaped from Xiyue Kingdom."
