Shen Wan looked at the moonlight for a while and then returned to the house.

Xie Jingyan was away and Shen Wan couldn't sleep, so she leaned on the big pillow to think about things.

She could understand Xie Jingyan's eagerness, and maybe she hoped in her heart that there were still people in her maternal grandfather's family alive, but it was the emperor who ordered the Yan Mansion to be searched, and it was Mao Guogong who led people to Yan Mansion to search the house. There was no way that Mao Guogong would let him go. Anyone in the Yan family.

But being able to go to Yan Mansion to burn paper late at night is definitely related to Yan Mansion.

It has been so many years since the incident happened in the Yan Mansion, and there are still people who remember the old relationship with the Yan Mansion. Xie Jingyan must want to know who it is.

Shen Wan leaned against the big pillow and waited for Xie Jingyan to come back. After waiting for half an hour, she heard Xie Jingyan's footsteps.

Shen Wan hurriedly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, went up to him and said, "Is it true that someone went to Yan Mansion to burn paper?"

Xie Jingyan nodded lightly.

Not only burning paper, but also straightening the collapsed memorial tablets in the Yanfu Ancestral Hall, clearing away cobwebs, and even pulling out some weeds...

In previous years, he did all these things on the anniversary of his grandfather and uncles.

Shen Wan knew that Tang Ze and Lu Cheng would not lie to Xie Jingyan, so she wondered, "Who would go to Yan Mansion to burn paper in the middle of the night?"

Xie Jingyan shook his head.

He couldn't guess.

But what he can be sure of is, "The people who went to burn paper tonight have deep feelings for Yan Mansion."

Shen Wan looked at him, "How did you tell?"

Xie Jingyan said, "There are blood stains on the weeds that the man pulled."

He goes to Yan Mansion every year, but he has never pulled out those weeds. The person who burned the paper tonight not only pulled out, but also pulled out a lot. He even cut his hand due to the weeds and did not stop. He should have discovered that Tang Ze and Lu I left after climbing over the wall.

Looking at the blood-stained weeds, Xie Jingyan felt that that person not only had feelings for Yan Fu, but even had more feelings for Yan Fu than he did.

Shen Wan guessed, "Could he be a student of Mrs. Yan?"

On the way there, Xie Jingyan also guessed the same.

But if my grandfather's students want to pay homage to him, they should go to his grave instead of going to the Yan Mansion, let alone pulling weeds.

Furthermore, most of my grandfather's students were civil servants and were powerless. When Tang Ze and Lu Cheng climbed over the wall and entered, the paper money had not been completely burned. They were able to easily spot them and leave in time. It was obvious that the other party not only had martial arts skills, but also martial arts skills. Not weak.

Seeing that Xie Jingyan was still thinking about this matter, Shen Wan said, "Maybe there are still people alive in Eryan's house."

Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan, "Is it possible?"

Shen Wan also knew that there was little hope. In her previous life, she had not heard that anyone in the Yan family was still alive. However, in her previous life, Xie Jingyan rebelled in the northwest. Apart from knowing that the eighth prince and fourth uncle and fourth brother had defected to him, she only knew one person, Mr. Chen. , she doesn’t know about the others either.

Maybe there really is.

Shen Wan wanted to comfort Xie Jingyan, but Xie Jingyan spoke first, "It's late at night, let's go to bed."

……

A good night's sleep.

When I woke up the next day, my fatigue was gone and I felt refreshed.

After Shen Wan finished washing, the maid brought breakfast into the room and waited for a short while before Xie Jingyan came back.

The two sat down to have breakfast, then picked up their chopsticks when there was a knock on the window.

"Come in."

With a creak, the window was pushed open, and Chen Feng jumped in.

Chen Feng stepped forward and said, "Sir, someone did go to pay homage to Mrs. Yan's grave, and the sacrifices they brought were the same as when I went to pay homage, which were lotus pods."

Mrs. Yan doesn't like to drink or eat sweets, but she only likes to eat lotus seeds.

Therefore, when Xie Jingyan went to worship, he would always bring a few lotus plants with him.

But not many people know about Mrs. Yan’s preference.

Is it possible that, as Shen Wan said, there are still people alive in Yan Mansion?

But if someone is really alive, why not come to him?

After Chen Feng made his report, he left. Shen Wan served Xie Jingyan some food, and the two of them continued eating.

After finishing breakfast, Shen Wan put down her chopsticks, and Dong'er came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has asked you to come into the palace."

Shen Wan's head hurt.

I don’t know what the emperor wants from Xie Jingyan.

He had just been to the Yan Mansion last night and was in a bad mood. The emperor was definitely looking for him at this time, and he was definitely going to hit Xie Jingyan's gun.

Xie Jingyan looked worried, but he didn't say no and got up anyway.

Shen Wan said worriedly, "Shall I go with you?"

Xie Jingyan could see through Shen Wan's thoughts at a glance and said, "I won't make the emperor angry to death."

have to.

From father to emperor again.

He won't make the emperor mad to death, but he can definitely make the emperor half mad to death.

Xie Jingyan refused to let him go, and Shen Wan couldn't follow him, so he could only sigh.

Xie Jingyan rode into the palace and went directly to the imperial study. However, not only was the emperor in the imperial study, Shen Jing was also there.

Xie Jingyan frowned for a moment, then relaxed. In front of his father-in-law, he stopped making mistakes and bowed to the emperor in a proper manner, "I have met the emperor."

He saluted the emperor, and then did not forget to salute Shen Jing and called "Father-in-law."

After Shen Wan's head hurt, Shen Jing also had a head pain.

Although Prince Ling was his son-in-law, there were differences between king and minister, so he should salute Prince Ling. He could just salute him normally, even in front of the emperor.

However, the emperor did not pursue the matter. It was good that Xie Jingyan came in without saluting Shen Jing first. This was not something that his son could not do.

The emperor picked up the tea cup and said to Shen Jing, "Tell him."

Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Jing and Shen Jing said, "I have to leave the capital to train the iron cavalry. I may not be in the capital for several months. I will leave the matters in the military camp to the deputy general Zhao, but there are some things that he may not be able to handle. I still need your help to deal with it then."

Only by properly arranging the military power in his hands, Shen Jing can focus on training the iron cavalry.

He made arrangements, but the emperor felt that it would be difficult for General Zhao to handle the matter. Shen Jing had also thought about the emperor's concerns. He had a way to properly solve it, which was to ask him to find Xie Jingyan for things that General Zhao couldn't handle.

Then these words made the emperor feel uncomfortable.

His own son, his father, could not control him. Could Shen Jing, his father-in-law, be able to control his son?

Shen Jing never thought that Xie Jingyan would refuse. He could even call Xie Jingyan directly to the military camp to talk, but the emperor insisted on seeking abuse. He didn't believe that his son would listen to Shen Jing like this, so he sent someone to call Xie Jingyan into the palace.

Then the emperor heard his son agree, "If General Zhao has something he can't handle, just ask him to just send someone to find me."

I was so happy to say yes, without any hesitation.

The emperor was heartbroken.

The anti-bone that was born from the evil son was so tight that it was airtight.

Shen Jing looked at the emperor and saw that the emperor's face was not good-looking. Shen Jing was helpless and said, "If nothing happens, then I will resign."

The emperor waved his hand and Shen Jing stepped back.

Xie Jingyan didn't leave. The emperor looked at him, "Why don't you retreat together?"

Xie Jingyan said, "What my father promised me before has not been fulfilled yet."

The emperor frowned, "What did I promise you but didn't do?"

"Let me go to my mother's grave to worship her."

The emperor looked gloomy.

Eunuch Yuan was afraid of the emperor's thunderous wrath, so he quickly said, "The emperor cannot be blamed for this. Someone stole Concubine Chen's body."

Xie Jingyan said, "If my father can't fulfill this request, then I can do it if my father can do it."

He looked at the emperor.

Father and son looked at each other.

Xie Jingyan's eyes were firm, and the emperor said coldly, "What's the request?"

"I want Yan Mansion."
