Shen Wan glanced at Xie Jingyan, and then told Haitang, "I have to change my dress before I can enter the palace."

Haitang was a little surprised.

Xie Jingyan's already dark face turned even darker, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You stay at home for me, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

After saying this, Xie Jingyan suddenly stood up.

Watching his leaving figure, Shen Wan resisted laughing out loud. Haitang, whose shoulders were shaking, was afraid that a certain man would be angry if he looked back.

Shen Wan smiled but she could not help but feel curious in her heart. What was Xie Jingyan doing when the emperor repeatedly summoned him to the palace.

Besides, Xie Jingyan almost came out of the house full of evil fire and got on his horse.

Enter the palace.

Go straight to the imperial study room.

The emperor summoned him twice, and he went directly to the imperial study without the gatekeeper.

He walked forward, without saluting, and asked directly, "Why do you insist on me entering the palace?"

The tone was unpleasant and full of impatience.

Eunuch Yuan stood aside, his heart and soul trembled when he heard the emperor's summons. King Ling refused to enter the palace. The emperor was already angry. King Ling still spoke so impatiently. In the past, King Ling had inconvenient legs and feet and could only travel in a wheelchair. The emperor He is so patient. He can walk freely now. This really makes the emperor angry. The emperor really knows how to hit him.

Eunuch Yuan looked at the emperor cautiously and saw some blue veins popping up on the emperor's forehead. Not satisfied that this was not enough, a certain man added fuel to the fire and said, "Has the emperor agreed to withdraw the imperial edict of marriage?"

Eunuch Yuan, "..."

Prince Ling really dares to say that.

Being injured by the emperor with a paperweight was not enough. He really wanted the emperor to ask someone to drag him down and beat him with a board.

He didn't even call out "Father" in front of the emperor. Eunuch Yuan was really afraid that the emperor would be angry to death.

With such an amicable address, a trace of sorrow flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he said, "After completing the errand I entrusted you with, I will consider withdrawing the imperial edict of marriage."

Xie Jingyan frowned, "What's the errand?"

The emperor said, "The official responsible for building the Xizhou Dam was killed, and the construction drawings were destroyed. There must be corruption in the construction of the Xizhou Dam. You are responsible for investigating this matter."

"I don't have the ability. Your Majesty, please find someone else," Xie Jingyan refused without even thinking.

The emperor was stunned by the rejection.

Also confused was Eunuch Yuan.

Eunuch Yuan advised Xie Jingyan, "The emperor finally let go. As long as you find out about this matter, the emperor will cancel the engagement between Prince Pingyang and Princess Huai'an."

Xie Jingyan said, "Prince Pingyang no longer needs to break off the engagement."

Eunuch Yuan, "...???"

On the day of the wedding, the prince went to the palace and begged the emperor to take back the marriage decree. Why didn't he need to cancel the engagement now?

Do young people today change their minds so quickly?

The emperor picked up the tea cup, opened it, took a look, and then put it down.

Eunuch Yuan quickly took down the tea cup.

Xie Jingyan also turned and left.

The emperor said solemnly, "Stop!"

Xie Jingyan stopped and turned to look at the emperor, "Is there anything else?"

That's really a fight for every word.

If the emperor hadn't tried his best to endure it, he would have had the traitor dragged down and beaten to death.

The emperor said with an angry face, "You can ignore the Xizhou case, but you have to hand over the relevant drawings of the Xizhou Dam."

Xie Jingyan frowned, "How does the Emperor know that I have the construction drawings of the Xizhou Dam?"

How did he know?

A wise son is better than his father!

If you believe that an earthquake will really happen in Meizhou, and if you are prepared in advance, you will not expect that once the Xizhou Dam really breaks, the officials involved in the Xizhou case will destroy the evidence. In order to prepare, they will inevitably transfer the construction drawings required to build the dam. , materials, etc. should be backed up in advance so that we can check where the problem lies when the time comes.

Yan'er has been rigorous in doing things since she was a child. It is impossible for her to be careless when she grows up.

Xie Jingyan said, "I do have construction drawings in my hand, but I have a condition."

The emperor's face turned dark, "Serving the imperial court is your duty as a prince, and you still want to negotiate terms with me?"

Xie Jingyan chuckled lightly, "Young Master Yun wants to marry the head of Qinghe County. Some people are negotiating terms with my wife. As long as the Yun family pays 400,000 taels, it will be done. What can I do with what I have in my hand to negotiate terms with the emperor?" No?"

"If the emperor thinks that I am not worthy of being a prince, just demote me to a commoner."

After saying this, Xie Jingyan turned around and left.

This time the emperor didn't call him back, but his face was ashen.

Xie Jingyan stepped out of the imperial study and saw Eunuch Yuan talking to Chen Feng. When Xie Jingyan came over, Eunuch Yuan returned to the imperial study.

Chen Feng came up to him and said, "Sir, Eunuch Yuan asked his subordinates why Prince Pingyang no longer needs to break off the engagement. The subordinates told Eunuch Yuan the truth..."

"It doesn't matter, Eunuch Yuan is one of our own," Xie Jingyan said nonchalantly.

Chen Feng thought so too.

If it weren't for Eunuch Yuan, the little prince in the princess's womb would be gone. Eunuch Yuan was the benefactor of the prince and princess.

The emperor was sitting on the dragon chair. Eunuch Yuan stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Pingyang really does not need to break off the engagement..."

The emperor glanced at Eunuch Yuan, and Eunuch Yuan continued, "Prince Pingyang was delaying his return to Beijing to provide disaster relief in Meizhou. The girl he likes has been engaged to someone else and will leave the court next month. There is no point in breaking off the engagement."

The emperor's brows were knotted, "Didn't you say that on purpose because you were afraid that Yan'er would help him break off the engagement and make me angry?"

Eunuch Yuan wanted to speak but stopped.

The emperor said, "Say!"

Eunuch Yuan said bravely, "Pingyang Hou Shizi said this when Prince Ling gave him poison and asked him to pretend to be ill and break off the engagement. It should be true."

Pretending to be sick to break off the engagement?

The emperor was furious, "Even if I want to withdraw from my marriage, how can they not withdraw from an ordinary engagement?!"

Eunuch Yuan couldn't answer the question.

The emperor said, "You are so close to Yan'er that I even told you to pretend to be ill and break off the engagement."

Eunuch Yuan was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Prince Ling's guards and servants confessed to each other. They wanted to use the servants' mouth to tell the emperor that you know..."

The emperor said, "I don't mean to blame you, get up."

A layer of fine beads of sweat formed on Eunuch Yuan's head. He raised his hand to wipe his forehead before standing up.

Xie Jingyan returned to Mo Yuxuan. Shen Wan had just woken up from his nap and was lazily leaning on the big pillow. Seeing Xie Jingyan come in, Shen Wan asked, "Why did the emperor summon you to the palace?"

Xie Jingyan sat beside the bed and said, "The emperor suspects corruption in Xizhou Dam and asked me to investigate this matter."

Shen Wan did not expect that the emperor asked Xie Jingyan to enter the palace for this reason. She said, "Are you going to Xizhou?"

"Take me there."

"I refused."

"..."

The two spoke in unison.

Not to mention the embarrassment on Shen Wan's face.

Couldn't this bastard finish his sentence at once? She thought he had taken over the Xizhou case.

Shen Wan didn't understand and asked, "Why don't you take this case?"

Xie Jingyin's people were responsible for building the Xizhou Dam. Once conclusive evidence is found, Xie Jingyin will be blamed. Such a good opportunity should not be missed.

Xie Jingyan pinched Shen Wan's nose and said, "The King of Jin is still investigating the Meizhou granary case, and the Xizhou case is handed over to the eldest prince. The two of them are trying to keep each other in check, so why should I get involved?"

If the King of Jin wants to bring down the eldest prince, he must rely on the Meizhou Granary Case.

Similarly, the eldest prince wanted to overthrow the King of Jin, and the Xizhou case was the breakthrough.

If Xie Jingyan takes over this case, he will not only become a target for Prince Jin, but he will most likely be making a wedding dress for the eldest prince.

It is better to do nothing, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and reap the benefits of the fishermen.
