An Ye indeed wanted to clear the grievances of the second prince, but it was impossible to do so by his own abilities.

He was too embarrassed to say it and asked Ye Qingran to help. After all, her identity was very sensitive. If the emperor discovered it, it would be fatal. He had no intention of causing trouble for his benefactor.

Hearing Ye Qingran say that she would let the truth about the second prince's death come to light, An Ye couldn't help but feel a little moved, but still a little worried: "But your identity... If this implicates you, I..."

Ye Qingran interrupted him: "You don't have to worry. Since I dare to agree to this matter, I am sure of victory. But in this matter, you are the key."

An Ye understands the truth. He is the only one who really participated in the assassination of the second prince by the third prince. Only he who holds the jade seal of the third prince is the most convincing, and he does want to avenge the second prince.

After discussing the matter, Ye Qingran temporarily left An Ye in this residence, planning to wait a few days to find out the situation in Beijing, and then take him to a safe residence near Zhanran Building to hide, just waiting. A suitable opportunity to clear the wrongs of the second prince.

When Ye Qingran and Chu Qingyun returned to the capital, they heard the common people talking about it, saying that the second prince went to the Northern Wilderness and died in battle, but he succeeded in destroying the Northern Wilderness, which was really praiseworthy.

Ye Qingran didn't want to express any opinion on this.

After all, even thinking about it with his feet, he knew that this was all news spread by the third prince, just to cover up the truth about the death of the second prince.

Chu Qingyun also understood what the fight in the palace was like. This kind of thing was just a trivial matter. It was very common for him and he was not surprised at all.

But he also really felt that Ye Qingran had a clear mind, and even if the plan changed, she could still get things back on track.

Originally, Ye Qingran planned to let the second prince and the third prince check and balance each other, but now that the second prince is dead, checking and balancing is no longer possible.

But fortunately, the evidence that the third prince assassinated the second prince was caught. If the truth is revealed when the time comes, the third prince will not get anything good. It can be regarded as a disguised check and balance.

Even if they didn't find the evidence, it wouldn't be difficult to fabricate it.

In this way, even if the second prince dies, he can still drag the third prince into trouble. Isn't this another good outcome?

For Ye Qingran, as long as it is beneficial to Chu Qingyun's accession to the throne, she considers it a success.

The moment he learned of the second prince's death, Liu Xiang understood that the third prince did not trust him at all.

If you trust him, you will never give him wrong information, let alone intercept and kill the second prince personally. All this can only mean that the third prince is testing him to see if he will tip off the second prince.

At this time, the third prince had already made some guesses.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiang felt a little anxious in his heart. Once the second prince died, he would lose a layer of protection from the third prince.

If he really only worked for the second prince, he would be free after the second prince died. But now he was working for Ye Qingran. He really wanted to help her get more information, so he insisted on staying in the third prince's mansion. Didn't leave.

But now I'm afraid something bad is going to happen.

Regarding such a result, Liu Xiang didn't know whether to continue to inquire about the third prince. After much thought, he couldn't make up his mind, so he had no choice but to return to his house and find a servant to report to Ye Qingran secretly.

In his current situation, it was impossible to report the news in person.

The third prince must be secretly watching his every move now. As long as he dares to go out, he will be monitored. In that case, it will bring trouble to Ye Qingran, so he has to send someone over.

But not long after the boy went out, before he had time to struggle, he was forcibly taken away.

Liu Xiang was already anxious. Seeing that the boy didn't come back, he couldn't sit still and wanted to go to the dye house in person.

But he still resisted the urge and continued to wait patiently. Until the afternoon, when the boy had not come back, he knew that the boy had been discovered.

You don't need to think too much to know that he is the third prince.

Sweat began to form on his forehead. There was no delay now. Rather than just sitting there and waiting for death, he might as well take the initiative and think of a way to go directly to the dye building. They could stop the boy, but they might not be able to stop him.

But when he stepped out of the house, he found a middle-aged man standing outside his door.

He had seen this man before, he was the steward around the third prince.

"Mr. Liu, His Highness the Third Highness has summoned you, please come."

Liu Xiang paused, suppressed the panic in his heart, and replied calmly: "Okay."

On the way to the third prince's residence, Liu Xiang was already thinking about how to explain to the third prince.

The boy's hand was holding a letter he wanted to send to Ye Qingran. If the third prince discovered it, he would probably die on the spot today.

But the young man was also carefully trained by him. He was no different from a dead soldier. As long as he was caught, he would never expose himself. But the letter was the most troublesome. He didn't know how the young man would deal with it. A letter, and I don’t know if the third prince has seen the content of the letter.

With this thought in mind, he arrived at the third prince's residence.

The third prince was drinking at the stone table in the backyard. When he saw him coming, his face turned cold: "Xiang Liu, do you know your guilt?"

Liu Xiang's face turned serious, and he knelt down and asked, "I don't know what mistake I have made, Your Highness, please clarify it."

"Huh, don't you know? Since you want to act stupid, I'll let you know."

After the third prince finished speaking, he waved to the people next to him to bring him up.

Soon, a guard came over pressing the boy. Liu Xiang lowered his head and tried his best not to let the third prince see his panic.

When the boy saw Liu Xiang, his eyes were full of determination.

It's just that Liu Xiang lowered his head at this time and couldn't see his expression. He was still thinking about how to explain.

The third prince poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp: "Xiang Liu, let me ask you, do you know him?"

Liu Xiang had to adjust his expression and looked at the boy, but when he saw the boy's eyes, his heart dropped.

With just one glance, he knew that the servant had handled the letter well and did not let the third prince see it. However, he could not deliver it to the dye house.

Since the third prince did not see the letter, he replied directly: "As far as your highness is concerned, he is a servant in your residence."

"Then you ordered him to deliver the letter today. Who are you sending it to?"

The third prince's words were cold, rather than with murderous intent, as if he would be killed in the next second.

He originally guessed that Liu Xiang had contact with the second prince, but now that the second prince was dead, he was still sending messages. He had to ask carefully who was behind Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang replied seriously: "Your Highness, I didn't ask him to send that letter, and I don't know what it was."
