Mo Ruochen looked at Xiao Yunxi, who had a teasing look on her face, and smiled helplessly, "You've been tired for a long time, let's go back home."

Lin Wan'er was stunned as she looked at Mo Ruochen who was smiling gently, with jealousy and resentment in her eyes.

Why, why do Lu Jingting, Prince Duan and Prince Dingyuan all love Xiao Yunxi?

Just because of that face?

Or is it because of her background?

Mo Ruochen looked coldly as he glanced at the eunuch in charge beside him.

The eunuch in charge shuddered instantly, and immediately stepped forward and slapped Lin Wan'er several times.

He waved his hand and ordered the two young eunuchs who were escorting Lin Wan'er to quickly drag her away and send her to the Ministry of Justice to wait for her death.

Xie Yuanfeng glanced at Mo Ruochen and said gently to Xiao Yunxi: "Mother and your father are going to the newly opened Hanlaixuan to try something new. You should go back to the palace with him first."

When Xiao Yunxi heard the word Hanlaixuan, her eyes immediately lit up. Hanlaixuan was a restaurant that had just opened.

The dishes here are mostly spicy, the most famous one is the spicy jade rabbit, which is limited to twenty pieces per day.

Xiao Yunxi had wanted to eat for a long time, but she had been ill before and her appetite had not been very good. Mo Ruochen watched her eat light meals for half a month, and her mouth was so tasteless.

"Mom, just take your daughter with you."

Xiao Yunxi coquettishly took Xie Yuanfeng's arm and said coquettishly, "Daughter wants to spend more time with you and daddy."

Xie Yuanfeng looked at her and said coldly, "Do you want to accompany me and your father, or do you want to accompany Spicy Jade Rabbit?"

Xiao Yunxi:.......

Mo Ruochen bowed to the Duke of Ning and said, "Father-in-law, I just got a chess manual and would like to learn from you. Why don't we go to Hanlai Pavilion together?"

Duke Ningguo has two major hobbies, food and chess. Naturally, he would be willing to study new chess manuals while tasting delicious food.

Xie Yuanfeng looked helplessly at Duke Ningguo, whose eyes were narrowed into slits, and sighed.

"Let's go, let's go. I knew I couldn't get rid of you two. Luckily, I ordered three spicy jade rabbits in advance."

Xiao Yunxi smiled sweetly and attentively helped Xie Yuanfeng walk out.

Mo Ruochen shook his head in amusement behind him, and followed the mother and daughter together with Duke Ningguo.

After being escorted back to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion by the Jinwu Guards, Lu Jingting went directly to Shou'an Hall. He sat beside the old lady's bed and asked Nanny Li to invite Princess Ruan over.

He also ordered Lu Quan to invite the old prince who had been recuperating in the study in the front yard.

After everyone gathered, he told them everything that had happened that day.

The old lady had been increasingly exhausted recently, and it took her a long time to react to what Lu Jingting had said.

When he heard that Marquis Wu'an was thrown into prison and Concubine Wan was sentenced to death, he clapped his hands with joy.

"Where's that bitch Lin Wan'er?"

Lu Jingting lowered his head. "She has been locked up in the Ministry of Justice. His Majesty has ordered that she be strangled, beheaded, and hacked to death in turn, and then sent back to Yanliu Alley."

The old lady didn't understand and blinked twice. What did it mean to go to Yanliu Lane after being strangled, beheaded and hacked to death?

Can a person die three times?

Can I still sell my body in the willow alley after I die?

Ruan couldn't figure it out either, so she asked directly, "Why did Lin Wan'er die three times?"

Lu Jingting smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is something that the Minister of Justice will have to worry about."

"In short, there is no chance that Lin Wan'er will come back alive."

Now the old lady and Mrs. Ruan understood and were happy. Without Lin Wan'er, they would have a good life.

The old King of Zhennan said nothing from beginning to end, just leaning on a chair beside him.

He looked at Lu Jingting, "Why didn't His Majesty kill you?"

"It could be because of my father's hard work in guarding the border, or it could be because you are dying," Lu Jingting looked directly into the eyes of the old King of Zhennan, "or it could be because of some other unavoidable reasons."

The old King of Zhennan felt a little guilty when he was looked at by Lu Jingting. He coughed lightly and avoided his sight.

"It must be because of your father."

"I hope so, but the Jinwu Guards have surrounded the Zhennan Palace. From now on, only entry is allowed but no exit. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed on the spot."

"what?!"

The old King Zhennan's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Although the old lady and Mrs. Ruan were surprised, it didn't matter as they rarely left the house.

The Prince of Zhennan is still at the border. The emperor will not kill them now.

Lu Jingting glanced at the old King of Zhennan, then lowered his head to hide the hatred in his eyes.

Sure enough, his grandfather was hiding something from him.

Just like what that person said, he, the legitimate son, was the abandoned son pushed out by the Zhennan Palace...

----------

After Queen Xue heard what happened in the Golden Palace, she sat in her chair and didn't say a word.

No one told her about this matter from beginning to end.

Xie Junyao skipped the plan made by her, Marquis Wu'an, Concubine Wan and others.

Queen Xue knew clearly that this incident would put the eldest princess, Duke Ningguo and Prince Dingyuan completely against them.

Although Ning Guo, Mo Ruochen and others have always been neutral and have never been too close to any prince.

However, the eldest princess always attached great importance to the legitimate heir and rarely interacted with the concubines in the harem.

If they hadn't had a grudge against her, even if they didn't support the legitimate princes in the future, they would definitely not help the other princes.

But now, the seventh one is definitely useless.

Regardless of whether Emperor Xuanwen gave up on him or not, Xie Yuanfeng and Mo Ruochen would definitely not let him go, let alone let him ascend the throne.

Sure enough, the personal maid came in and announced that Li Dezhong had arrived.

"Let him in."

Empress Xue had a dull expression. She wanted to see how Emperor Xuanwen would deal with his own son.

"Slave, please see the Queen."

After Li Dezhong came in, he bowed and greeted the empress respectfully, and did not break the rules just because the empress was ignored by Emperor Xuanwen.

"The Emperor sent you here. Is that the case?"

"Your Highness, the Emperor has issued an order that Prince Duan leave the capital for his fiefdom in three days, and he is not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial decree.

His Majesty said, please choose the candidate for Prince Duan's principal wife within three days, and arrange the wedding as soon as possible, so as not to delay the trip."

Empress Xue stood up with an angry look on her face, "You are going to your fiefdom in three days, and you cannot return without an imperial decree?

The seventh prince is the legitimate prince!

Decide on the princess within three days and get married as soon as possible?!"

Li Dezhong lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is the order of His Majesty."

Empress Xue knew that Emperor Xuanwen hated stupid people the most and out of sight, out of mind.

Xie Junyao has crossed the bottom line of Emperor Xuanwen this time, and Emperor Xuanwen will definitely not let him off easily.

She also guessed that Xie Junyao would be driven to the fiefdom, but she didn't expect the time to be so tight, and she never expected that Emperor Xuanwen would ask her to choose Prince Duan's principal wife and complete the wedding within three days!

This is clearly telling everyone that Prince Duan Xie Junyao is disliked by the emperor!

It sounds nice to say that it is going to a fiefdom, but in fact it is simply exile!
