Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother is using a handkerchief to wipe the jade pendant given to her by the late Emperor.

A father-in-law quickly stepped forward and informed the Queen Mother that the Emperor had asked Xie Jingyan to investigate the case.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother frowned so much that she could kill a fly.

After the father-in-law finished his report, he withdrew. Aunt Zhao asked strangely, "The emperor asked King Ling to track down the assassin and asked the Third Division to assist him. He paid enough attention to it. Why did he also give King Ling a token?"

That's not the case when it comes to tracking down assassins.

The emperor gave King Ling a token under the guise of letting him track down the assassin himself, so that he could investigate Concubine Chen's case that year.

The Queen Mother felt a little uneasy in her heart. She said, "The Emperor has been quite impatient recently and has completely lost his previous calmness. But is the dragon body sick?"

Aunt Zhao also felt that the emperor had been too purposeful in doing things in the past few months. The emperor used to be indifferent to emotions and anger, but, "I never heard that the emperor is not feeling well?"

However, the emperor was unwell, and no imperial doctor dared to spread the news.

The Queen Mother was worried and said, "If Zhao Yuanzheng is informed, the Ai family will ask him personally."

……

Inside the house, Shen Wan ate the food and looked at Xie Jingyan several times.

Xie Jingyan put a piece of fish meat into Shen Wan's bowl and said, "Just ask whatever you want to know. As long as I know, I won't hide it from you."

Shen Wan bit her chopsticks and said, "I felt that the emperor was giving power to you before, and it is even more obvious today. Don't you think there is a problem?"

Even Shen Wan noticed it, how could Xie Jingyan not notice it?

Xie Jingyan glanced at Shen Wan and said, "Father was indeed frightened by you and had some problems."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Shen Wan was stunned.

Is she scaring the emperor?

Even if he lent his courage to her, she wouldn't dare to scare the emperor.

Shen Wan said, "When did I ever scare the emperor?"

Shen Wan had a look on her face that said, "Don't talk nonsense, I want to live for a few more years." The look on Shen Wan's face made a certain man feel weak. This woman really didn't want to think about what she had done to cause concern.

Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan and said, "Doctor Tao cured my leg disease. The emperor rewarded me for his merits and summoned Dr. Tao. You took the opportunity to ask Dr. Tao to check my father's pulse. Do you still remember?"

Shen Wan nodded.

Of course she remembered this.

Xie Jingyan said, "Father knows that you are not a reckless person and will not do such unruly things casually. In addition, father knows that there are experts in the Yun family who can calculate things that have not happened. I asked Eunuch Yuan to pay more attention to father." The emperor's food, father, can't you guess what you and I are worried about? "

"My father made these arrangements based on the fact that he thought he didn't have much time left."

Shen Wan was embarrassed.

She was indeed worried that the emperor would die early like in his previous life.

But she didn't expect that the emperor would guess it just by being defensive.

No wonder Xie Jingyan is so smart and follows the emperor.

Thinking of the emperor scaring herself, Shen Wan's heart trembled wildly. She looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "These are your guesses, they may not be true."

Xie Jingyan ate the food and said, "Eunuch Yuan told me these."

Shen Wan, "..."

Eunuch Yuan serves the emperor every day, and he can guess the emperor's thoughts very well.

Shen Wan said, "Didn't you comfort my father?"

Xie Jingyan shook his head.

Shen Wan's eyes widened.

Xie Jingyan stretched out his hand to pinch Shen Wan's nose, "I am relieved to my father, he won't believe it."

"If you don't believe it, why don't you feel relieved?"

The corners of Shen Wan's mouth twitched.

She really doubted whether the son was picked up by the emperor.

Xie Jingyan ate the food and said, "I told my father that the masters of the Yun family calculated that the portrait of my mother and concubine that I gave made my father very angry and made him seriously ill. He died in less than a month. When you asked Doctor Tao to give him When my father checked his pulse, I suspected that my father's dragon body was ill. I wanted Dr. Tao to treat my father's body as soon as possible, but Dr. Tao didn't find out that there was something wrong with my father's dragon body. That's when I suspected that my father's body was sick, and finally I got rid of it. Beng was poisoned, so please be more careful, Mr. Yuan."

This explanation makes perfect sense.

Shen Wan said, "Father, do you believe it?"

"My father not only believed me, but also praised me for my filial piety," Xie Jingyan said.

Shen Wan looked at him, "Father, would you praise your filial piety? Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

Xie Jingyan said, "Do I need to lie to you?" He said, "After I said this, my father was very angry, saying that I knew that he might die of anger from me, but I was still angry with him all day long..."

...This is indeed what the emperor would ask.

Shen Wan asked, "Then how did you answer?"

Xie Jingyan said seriously, "I said he is so impatient because he doesn't get angry less often. He gets angry by me more often. If he gets used to it, things like this won't happen."

Shen Wan, "..."

Not to mention that the emperor would praise him for his filial piety, she couldn't help but want to praise him for being a filial son.

The son is so filial, why didn't the emperor reward him with dozens of boards to show his father's love?

Xie Jingyan said this, the emperor should believe him, and the emperor should only prepare for the worst. After the Meizhou earthquake, Xizhou Dam, and the birthday gift matter, the emperor knew very well that even the things calculated by experts can still be solved. What has changed is that no matter how much Xie Jingyan hates the emperor because of Concubine Chen, he does not want the eldest prince or Xie Jingyin to sit in that position after the emperor dies.

Because only when the emperor is alive can Concubine Chen have the possibility of overturning the verdict.

After the eldest prince and Xie Jingyin succeeded to the throne, it was uncertain whether they could allow Xie Jingyan to live, let alone help Xie Jingyan overturn the case decided by the emperor.

The two of them were eating while talking. The meal took a very long time, and they put down their chopsticks only when the food was cold.

As soon as I put down my chopsticks, there was a knock on the window.

"Come in."

The window was pushed open, and Chen Feng jumped in and said, "Sir, my subordinates have done what you asked me to do."

There was something going on at the military camp, so Xie Jingyan didn't go there in person and asked Chen Feng to make a trip.

Chen Feng said, "On the way back, my subordinate met Mr. Tang. He wanted to borrow Li Yuchu and the prince's palace from him."

Forget it, just borrow Li Yuchu, borrow the palace...

Xie Jingyan asked, "What is he using the palace for?"

Chen Feng twitched his lips and said, "Young Master Tang and Young Master Xu are engaged. Prince Yanping wants them to treat a guest. He doesn't want to eat the food from Yuelou and Zuixianlou, so Young Master Tang wants to ask Li Yuchu to cook. He also felt that it would be difficult for him to invite Chef Li to the Duke of Tan's mansion to cook and invite everyone there without disturbing his father, who would not be able to eat properly, so he thought that the prince might as well lend him a treat. "

Shen Wan, "..."

Xie Jingyan, "..."

Black lines slid down their foreheads.

Treating guests to dinner in Prince Ling’s Mansion, who is treating them?

Fortunately, Tang Ze figured it out.

But they are all our own people, so there is no need to distinguish them so clearly.

Tang Ze could do such an outrageous thing because he knew that Xie Jingyan would not refuse.

After Chen Feng finished his report, he left. Xie Jingyan got up and went to the study. He was afraid that Shen Wan would fall asleep after eating, so he took Shen Wan to the study to study ink for him.

In the study, Shen Wan picked up the pine smoke ink, added some water, and ground the ink until it was thick. Without disturbing Xie Jingyan's reading, Shen Wan put down the ink stick and prepared to go back to the house.

However, just as he turned around, Dong'er knocked on the door and came in. He grinned and reported, "Princess, Princess Nanyi of Xiliang was arrested by the City Patrol..."
