"Don't do anything yet, lock them up."

Now he is very likely to be targeted by the emperor. If he takes action again, he will be exposed.

"Yes! Your Majesty."

"Also, destroy all evidence related to the palace in the prison."

"Understood. I'll go right away."

After he left, Prince Fenyang was still worried, so he returned to his dark room and burned all the letters.

If the rebellion fails, he can at least save himself and his family. Even if Du Yulang loses his military power, it will not affect him, after all, there is still Deadpool and the allied forces of the South.

……

Zhao Mansion.

When Zhao Feng learned about Du Yulang, he immediately understood what had happened.

"Butler, how is the Xie family?"

"My Lord, Shi Tutor Xie is safe and sound. Although the third son of the Xie family was injured, he is not seriously injured. It seems that a bastard son named Liang died."

"But Madam Xie and the eldest daughter of the Xie family are missing, and the emperor has even posted a reward notice."

"Yeah." Zhao Feng nodded. There was no need to guess. This was all the prince's work. Their plan had failed, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Master, do you think Madam Xie and the others have already..."

"will not!"

"Why are you so sure, Master?"

"The Emperor has made this matter known to everyone. The Prince cannot take action at this time, otherwise he will definitely be exposed in front of the Emperor."

"That's what the master said."

Zhao Feng lay on the bed and ordered, "Housekeeper, prepare some clothes and dry food for me. I'm going on a long journey."

"Where are you going, Master? I'll ask some of the Zhao family's servants to follow you."

“No!” Zhao Feng refused. “I have to do this myself. The more people who know about it, the more dangerous it will be.”

"How can that be possible?" Butler Zhao said worriedly, "Master, you can't just abandon the Zhao family!"

"I'll leave the house to you. Take good care of my wife. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

"master!"

"Alright! Just listen to me and do it quickly."

Butler Zhao was unable to persuade him and could only leave in tears.

Zhao Feng sat quietly on the bed, thinking about his life. He was afraid that he would not be able to face the ancestors of the Zhao family. If he had not coveted power at that time, how could the Zhao family have fallen into such a state?

But he knew that it was too late to regret now. After something like this happened, the prince would definitely find a way to put the blame on him, so if that was the case, then they would die together.

Over the years, thanks to his foresight, he has preserved all the letters between the prince and the people of the Southern Kingdom and the Dongyue Kingdom, so that he can use them to protect himself one day.

The next morning, before dawn, Zhao Feng had already gotten up.

"Master, where are you going? Why are you leaving so early?"

"Butler Zhao, all the affairs of the mansion are left to you." After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Zhao Feng got on a carriage and arrived at a county more than 30 kilometers away from Shangjing, which was the hometown of his deceased wife.

Of course, he didn't come here to commemorate his ex-wife, but because some things were buried here.

He looked around and made sure that there was no one around. Then he quietly came under a willow tree, picked up a stick from the surrounding area, and started digging.

After digging for about half an hour, he finally saw a box. He opened it and found that the letters inside were still there. He felt relieved.

Zhao Feng put it in his bag and was about to leave when a masked man in black appeared in front of him.

"Who are you?" He asked in panic, holding the bag tightly.

These letters were the only conditions for his negotiation with the emperor. If he died here, the Zhao family would be completely wiped out.

"Humph! You don't need to know who I am. You just need to know that today is the anniversary of your death."

"Hahaha!" Zhao Feng suddenly laughed, "You are the prince's man, right?"

"I told you, don't worry about it."

After saying that, the man in black picked up a knife, chopped off Zhao Feng's head, snatched the things from his hands, dealt with the body, and quickly left the scene.

After returning, Prince Fenyang burned the letter without hesitation. In this way, no matter what happened, the emperor would not suspect him.

The system told Yun Zhihan these things truthfully.

"Hanhan, Prince Fenyang is too cautious and has destroyed all the evidence."

"What is there to question? He is just that kind of person. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to live so freely under the Emperor's nose and keep so many deadpools."

"What should we do now? All the evidence is destroyed. Should we just tell the emperor that Prince Fenyang is the mastermind?"

"No!" Yun Zhihan rejected the proposal.

"Why? Since ancient times, most emperors have been suspicious. As long as there is a little suspicion, they will not keep Prince Fenyang to cause rebellion. Although there is no actual evidence, at least his fiefdom and army can be reduced."

"Have you ever heard of the idiom, 'Distant people should not interfere with the affairs of those who are close to you?' It means that people who are distantly related should not get involved in the affairs of those who are close to you."

"The emperor and Prince Fenyang are brothers after all. What kind of relationship do I have with the emperor? Once the emperor is informed of this matter, he may deal with Prince Fenyang, but he will also deal with the Xie family."

"Because exposing the evil deeds of the royal family without any evidence is itself a form of insubordination. If the emperor is lenient, he might put me to death."

"Once Prince Fenyang and his ministers come before the emperor to ask for severe punishment of the Xie family, the whole family will be exterminated."

Tongzi was horrified when he heard this, and sighed repeatedly, "Hanhan is really thoughtful. Once you enter the royal family, it's like entering a deep sea. I wonder if Baijin is willing to marry the prince."

"Well, but there is no need to be too pessimistic. Prince Fenyang is definitely unable to move for the time being, but there is still Du Yulang. He will definitely not be able to escape."

"Tongzi believes in Hanhan."

"How is Ah Yan today? Can he still hold on?"

"Fortunately, the child is in good health. Although he was seriously injured, he is still alive."

After hearing this, Yun Zhihan kept praying in his heart: Ayan, wait a little longer!

She was more anxious than anyone else. If there was no chance to escape, Jin'er would probably be in danger.

When I turned my head again, I saw that the child was sleeping like a dead pig. How could he be so careless?

She pushed Bai Jin and said, "My dear daughter, you have been sleeping for a whole day, why are you still not awake?"

Bai Jin opened his eyes dazedly and sat up helplessly, "Mom, what else can we do in this damn place besides sleeping?"

"Sitting up, I could hear ghosts howling and screaming, and there were sounds of torture not far away."

"Also, I haven't eaten for a whole day. Isn't sleeping for the purpose of maintaining strength?"

After hearing this, Yun Zhihan didn't know how to refute it. This child has a future.

"Jin'er, why didn't I realize you were so capable of handling things before?"

Compared with the other women lying here, she felt that Bai Jin was like a crane standing out from the crowd, and she was the kind that was shining with golden light.
