"died?"

The last time I saw Concubine Yun was in Yunxi Palace when I interrogated her about what happened back then. Who knew she was dead.

Yan Qi frowned slightly, somewhat confused.

"Your Majesty was reluctant to depose her even after he dealt with Prince Xuan, and even allowed her to live in Yunxi Palace. How could she die suddenly?"

"That woman thinks she's a smartass."

Prince Jin's face was full of sarcasm and his eyes were cold.

"She sneaked out of Yunxi Palace and committed suicide in front of His Majesty, in order to beg His Majesty to release King Xuan.

Our father is kind-hearted. He cried bitterly as if he had lost his beloved. He actually asked you to come and see King Xuan."

"Her Majesty's heart is as cold as stone and it has not been just one or two days. I am afraid that seeking death will not move her."

"You guessed correctly. Before you came, your mother was just sent back to be confined to Changqiu Palace because she failed to manage the harem and even let his beloved concubine commit suicide."

King Jin sneered.

"When Concubine Yun left, she was wearing the same dress that Your Majesty wore when you first met her. In her arms, she was holding a pair of tiger-head shoes for babies, which were worn by King Xuan when he was a child.

Your Majesty is moved by the loss of your loved one and naturally wants to make up for it elsewhere.

My mother is now in charge of the harem, and he will vent his anger on her first. After venting his anger, he will want to see the son born to him by the woman he loves the most, so that they can cry together. "

"Ah."

Yan Qi sneered,

"Is it the son who failed to kill him? Does he want to stab him again?"

"I have an agreement with Concubine Yun that as long as Yan She stays quietly in the prison of the city defense camp, I will let him live well.

But since she wants to be smart and find ways to get her son out, I can't control what happens next."

Yan Qi has not forgotten what the Xie family did to his biological mother, but there are still some details that he has not figured out. Could it be that Concubine Yun is hiding something and is doing this out of guilt?

Yan Qi's eyes darkened a little more. It seemed that he had to go meet that person again.

"Fourth brother, are you really going to bring Yan She into the palace?"

"Why not? Why would I hinder the love between father and son? But we can't just let him go like this. We need to let him cry for his mother and show filial piety before he goes."

"So when should we let him go?"

"No hurry. The longer Your Majesty waits, the more worried he will be, which will naturally be more beneficial to Yan She."

There was a smile on Yan Qi's lips, but this smile made people shudder.

As expected, Fourth Brother has more bad ideas than I do, Prince Jin thought secretly.

Yan Qi casually handed the imperial edict to Mu Xiao behind him.

"Go and tell King Xuan that Concubine Yun has died. When a mother dies, a son should always cry and show his filial piety."

"Yes, Master!"

"If Yan She gets the news and wants to see Concubine Yun for the last time, you should delay it; if he doesn't say he wants to go, you should encourage him.

I don't need to teach you how to say it, right?"

"Master, rest assured. I will personally handle it and will make sure he knows clearly how Concubine Yun died and who killed her."

"Well, you go ahead and do it."

Seeing Yan Qi nod, Mu Xiao took the order and left.

Mu Xiao certainly had a way to handle such a thing properly, and Yan Qi had no intention of meeting Yan She.

"Fourth brother, don't you want to go and take a look?"

"If I have to do this little thing myself, then what's the point of keeping them around?"

The King of Jin was speechless for a moment.

"So where are you going?"

"I'm going to meet someone. It's not convenient for you to follow me. Go back now."

After saying this, he walked away without waiting for King Jin to reply.

"I came here specially to accompany you because I thought you were going to meet Yan She, and you just left me like that?"

Prince Jin was speechless for a while, and then shouted unwillingly at Yan Qi's back.

"If you are really bored, go shopping with Miss Jin San. Yes, take her to Yunshangfang. She will definitely like the things there."

When he heard about Miss Jin San, Prince Jin's face turned green. He had to be crazy to go looking for some stupid Miss Jin San.

Yan Qi definitely did it on purpose. After he said this, King Jin dared not say anything more.

He even looked around, fearing that Miss Jin San would suddenly appear here.

Seeing that King Jin looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Yan Qi rarely curled the corner of his mouth and quickly disappeared around the corner.

When Prince Jin came to his senses, Yan Qi was nowhere to be seen. He immediately cried out in his heart that he had met the wrong person to have such a brother.

He joked that he didn't even forget to solicit business for his future sister-in-law's shop. This was something that only a real brother could do.

King Jin had no temper at all after being abandoned halfway by Yan Qi. He had nothing to do now anyway, so why not go to his future sister-in-law's shop and take a look?

When Yan Qi walked past the street corner, he found the person who was holding his horse.

"You can go back now. You don't have to follow me."

After giving instructions, Yan Qi mounted his horse and headed for a secluded alley.

Walking straight towards a vermilion wooden door with a lot of paint peeling off, Yan Qi knocked on the door not loudly but rhythmically. After four or five knocks, the wooden door opened.

A little boy opened the door and let Yan Qi in, bowing and saying,

"master."

Yan Qi nodded slightly and asked,

"Is anyone inside?"

"Yes, Senior Shouyi only came to sit in the yard one day out of three days, and he stayed at home the rest of the time."

Yan Qi stopped asking questions and went straight into the house.

This little boy was specially chosen by Yan Qi to stay here, and he also called that person "Senior Shouyi" just like Yan Qi did.

Yan Qi came here today to verify something.

"Shouichi-senpai."

Hearing Yan Qi's voice, the person who was dozing in the chair opened his eyes.

"If you feel sleepy, go and rest on the couch. It's a bit constrained to sit here."

Yan Qi sat down on the chair opposite.

Shouyi then saw clearly that the person coming was Yan Qi, with a smile on his face.

“It’s you who’s here.

I have been sleeping sitting down in the city defense camp for so many years, I am used to it, but I can't fall asleep when I lie down on the couch."

After hearing what he said, Yan Qi stopped forcing him.

"You came here specially today, I think you have something to say?"

Shouyi asked directly.

"Senior, your guess is correct. I came here today because I have something to verify with you."

"Please tell me and listen."

"My mother's death is directly related to the third daughter of the Xie family?"

"Xie family's third lady, that was a long time ago."

Shouyi seemed lost in memories.

Yan Qi did not urge him, but just waited quietly.

It was not until the little boy brought the tea and Yan Qi took a sip that Shou Yi calmed down and spoke,

"The third lady of the Xie family is a thing of the past, and now there is only the high and mighty Concubine Yun.

I promised your mother that I would not tell you these things, but if you find out by yourself, I will not hide it."

Shouyi also picked up the tea and drank it, but his hands were shaking for some reason and the tea accidentally spilled on his collar, but he was not aware of it at all.

"What I told you last time was just a rough outline of what your mother went through, but you don't know many details. It's true that I'm a secret guard sent by the Xie family to your mother.

But the one who sent me to monitor your mother was not the former head of the Xie family, nor the second son at that time, but the mistress of the Xie family, the mother of the third Miss Xie!"
