He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

Xie Jingyan stood up, saluted to the Minister of Justice and said, "Minister Xu's kindness to the Yan family will be remembered in my heart."

The Minister of Justice said hurriedly, "I don't deserve it. I am just following orders."

Before the Queen Mother asked him to preserve the Yan family's bloodline, the Minister of Justice had already saved Yan Qing'er's life out of pity.

The Queen Mother only asked the Minister of Punishments to protect a trace of Yan family bloodline. The fact that there are still a few people in the Yan family alive is thanks to the Minister of Punishments.

Xie Jingyan knew what was going on.

It was late at night, and Xie Jingyan could not stay any longer, so he said goodbye to the Minister of Justice.

He jumped out of the window and left.

When everyone disappeared into the night, the Minister of Justice finally realized that the imperial edict had been taken away by Xie Jingyan.

That was the evidence he asked the Queen Mother for to exonerate him. It was useless for Prince Ling, so what was he going to do with it?

The Minister of Justice has a headache.

Inside the house, Shen Wan took a hot bath and leaned on the small couch to read a book. After she finished reading the two books she picked from the study, Xie Jingyan had not come back yet.

Yin Shuang made the bed and saw Shen Wan yawning. She said, "I don't know when the prince will be back. Princess, why don't you go to bed first?"

The princess is pregnant with a little prince, so she doesn't need to wait for the prince to come back before going to bed. Even if there is no little prince, the prince will not be angry because of his love for the princess.

Shen Wan was very sleepy, but she knew she couldn't fall asleep even if she lay in bed. There was nothing she could do. She had been raised with the bad habit of having to be held by Xie Jingyan to fall asleep, and she couldn't change it at all. Xie Jingyan wouldn't let her change it either.

The residence of the Minister of Justice is not far from Prince Ling's residence, and it is faster to climb walls and climb roofs, so it doesn't take so long to search the study. Shen Wan is not afraid that the Minister of Justice will keep Xie Jingyan, she is afraid that the City Patrol will invite him to stay overnight.

Haitang brought in tea and said, "The study is lit. I wonder if the prince is back."

Yin Shuang went out to take a look, then came back to tell Shen Wan, "The prince is back."

After returning from the wedding banquet of the Minister of Justice, he went straight to the study.

After visiting the Minister of Justice's study at night, he went back to the study.

Shen Wan couldn't help being curious and wanted to know what Xie Jingyan found in the study of the Minister of Justice when he went to his residence.

She got off the couch, Yinshuang squatted down to help her put on her shoes, and Shen Wan went to the study.

Although there were lanterns hanging on the corridor, the light was not as bright as during the day. Yinshuang and Haitang were worried that she might sprain her ankle, so they hurried to catch up.

The study door was not closed. Shen Wan walked in and saw Xie Jingyan sitting there, facing the desk with a frown on his face.

When I got closer, I saw an imperial edict on the desk.

Shen Wan's eyes flashed with surprise. She walked to Xie Jingyan's side, scanned the imperial edict, and said in disbelief, "How could it be the Queen Mother who asked the Minister of Justice to save people?"

Xie Jingyan looked at Shen Wan, "Do you also think that the Queen Mother's behavior is abnormal?"

It's not just her who thinks it's abnormal, everyone thinks it's abnormal.

Shen Wan knew a little about the affairs of Concubine Chen. Back then, the late emperor had arranged a marriage between the emperor and Concubine Chen, and Concubine Chen was granted to the emperor as his principal wife. However, less than half a month after the marriage, Miss Wei of Duke Mao's Mansion, who was the current Duke Mao's half-sister, lost her virginity to the emperor. Duke Mao's Mansion was the empress dowager's maiden home, and the empress dowager was unwilling to let her niece be the emperor's concubine, so she asked the late emperor to revoke the arranged marriage between the emperor and Concubine Chen.

This incident caused a lot of uproar at the time. In the end, although Concubine Chen married the emperor, she lost her position as the principal wife.

However, even though Concubine Chen did not have the position of principal wife, in the emperor's heart, Concubine Chen was his queen. The emperor doted on Concubine Chen alone and set up a fictitious harem for her, headed by Duke Mao. The empress dowager often asked the emperor to make the eldest prince the crown prince, but the emperor was unmoved. In addition, the emperor personally taught Xie Jingyan and taught him the mentality of an emperor, so all the officials believed in their hearts that the emperor would pass the throne to Xie Jingyan.

The Concubine Chen had been in the palace for more than ten years and had never been out of favor. However, once such a favored concubine got into trouble, her mother's family would be confiscated and exterminated.

The Empress Dowager disliked Concubine Chen, and as a result, she disliked Xie Jingyan. However, because the Emperor doted on Xie Jingyan, although the Empress Dowager disliked him, she did not do anything to put the Emperor in an awkward position.

When Concubine Chen got into trouble, the Yan family suffered as well. It was surprising that the Empress Dowager did not take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury. She even issued an imperial decree to ask the Minister of Justice to protect the bloodline of the Yan family. If Duke Mao knew about this, he would definitely suspect that the Empress Dowager had been kicked in the head by a donkey.

It is not easy for someone to sit firmly on the throne of queen. Anyone with a soft heart will be eaten till there is not a bone left in the deep palace.

It is absolutely impossible for the Empress Dowager to have such compassion just because of the contribution of Old Tutor Yan to the court. For these superiors, thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. If the emperor had not appreciated and used them, how could they have the opportunity to serve the court.

Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan. "The Queen Mother wanted Xie Jingyin's life, but she finally used the golden medal of immunity from death to save him. The Queen Mother asked the Minister of Justice to save him. Was she forced to do so?"

Xie Jingyan also guessed this possibility, but he rejected it. "For so many years, the Queen Mother has not asked the Minister of Justice about the whereabouts of Yan's family, nor has she made any secret moves."

They had seen the consequences of forcing the empress dowager to do something, but Queen Song's methods should not be underestimated. She used two lives to force the empress dowager to stop.

Xie Jingyan's dark eyes fell on the will, "The Queen Mother was able to write this will to the Minister of Justice. She must have sincerely wanted to help the Yan family preserve a bloodline, but--"

"Who could have made the Queen Mother so sincere under those circumstances?"

When these things happened, he was in the imperial mausoleum and couldn't go anywhere.

If you want to know what happened back then, you can only go to the palace and ask Eunuch Yuan.

Xie Jingyan put away the imperial edict and asked Shen Wan to go back to the room first. He took a cold shower and went back to bed.

The next day, after breakfast, Xie Jingyan entered the palace.

In the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing memorials.

Eunuch Yuan was serving on the side.

Xiao Xizi went in and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Ling is here."

The emperor frowned.

"Let him in."

Xiao Xizi left, and soon Xie Jingyan came in.

The emperor closed the memorial and said, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Xie Jingyan said, "Nothing, I just came to pay my respects to my father."

The emperor looked at Eunuch Yuan and said, "Go outside and see if the sun is rising from the west today."

Eunuch Yuan, "..."

The sun definitely doesn't rise from the west.

But should he really go out and take a look?

Eunuch Yuan has a headache.

Xie Jingyan looked at him, "Father has spoken, why isn't Eunuch Yuan leaving yet?"

Eunuch Yuan, "..."

Eunuch Yuan walked out with his mouth twitching.

He thought Xie Jingyan wanted to talk to the emperor alone.

He was always there when he was confronting the emperor, but now he was sent away...

Really, Eunuch Yuan was a little worried that Xie Jingyan would do something even more outrageous.

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. But just after he took two steps, Xie Jingyan's voice spread, "I will not disturb my father from handling state affairs. I will take my leave."

emperor,"……"

Eunuch Yuan, "...???"

Seeing Xie Jingyan turned and left.

The emperor's face turned green.

well.

His son came to the palace not to find his father, the emperor, but to find Eunuch Yuan.

Is there anything that cannot be said in front of his father?
