The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Seeing the Crown Prince's expression, the Emperor frowned and glanced coldly at everyone present: "Since the Crown Prince advocates a strict investigation, this matter will be fully investigated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yuan Ruiyuan took a step forward and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing the emperor's arrangements, the fifth prince lowered his head slightly, his eyes deepening.

Nian Chuan, who was behind him, changed his expression and began to sweat lightly.

Who found him in Duan Quan?

Clearly, I had already dealt with the two dogs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and ensured that no news was leaked out. How on earth did the Crown Prince do it?

He slowed down, looked at the back of the Fifth Prince in front of him, swallowed, and tried his best to calm himself down.

After leaving the Golden Palace, Nian Chuan glanced at Duan Quan who was not looking away, and then he quickly walked to the side of the fifth prince: "Your Highness."

Nian Chuan just opened his mouth, but under the gaze of the Fifth Prince, he swallowed back the rest of his words.

Prime Minister Bai called out to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor has entrusted the investigation of the Five Stone Powder to Your Highness, which shows his trust in Your Highness."

The marriage between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Bai Yuxin has been decided, and the entire Tianyuan Dynasty knows about it.

Even if the two parties involved, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not love her and Bai Yuxin already has someone else in her heart, the engagement between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Bai family cannot be changed.

In the eyes of outsiders, Bai Xiang is already the grandfather of the Crown Princess and a royal relative.

When he heard Bai Xiang calling him from behind, His Royal Highness stopped and turned around to say, "The fact that Lingshan tea has become so popular in the capital in such a short period of time must be due to someone secretly promoting it.

If we really want to deal with this matter, I'm afraid there will be so many things to deal with that we won't know where to start, and we will have to rely on Bai Xiang's assistance."

Bai Xiang is the head of all officials and his status among civil servants is extraordinary.

If there is Bai Xiang's secret help, the possibility of success will be much greater.

Besides, Bai Xiang doesn't know yet that I already know about his conspiracy with Lao Wu. In order to gain his trust, he will definitely give him some sweet benefits.

In this case, I had no choice but to accept it with a clear conscience, and regard it as a good deed done for free that would benefit myself.

Bai Xiang stroked his white beard and said, "Your Highness is too polite. Let's not talk about anything else. Now that I am the prime minister of the Tianyuan Dynasty, I must remove these obstacles for the people."

Bai Xiang's words were full of righteousness. Looking at his expression, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help but applaud Bai Xiang's acting skills in his heart.

It turns out that he had not been the prime minister for so many years in vain. When he expressed his loyalty, he was very clear about it. Even the lies he told were more true than the truth.

"With Bai Xiang's words, I feel more at ease." Looking at Bai Xiang's expression, there was a hint of joy on the calm face of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"By the way, Mr. Bai, Miss Bai's birthday is in three days. I have prepared a birthday gift and will send it to your house later."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot of things to deal with every day, so how can he remember all these trivial matters clearly? Fortunately, there are many capable people in the Eastern Palace, and the housekeeper will take care of the communication between the Eastern Palace and various officials.

This time, it was the butler who specifically reminded Bai Yuxin of his birthday before His Highness went to court.

Prime Minister Bai was quite satisfied with the Crown Prince's response and handling of the matter. Regarding this engagement, not only were the Crown Prince and Bai Yuxin unhappy, but Prime Minister Bai also felt unhappy.

The situation in the capital is complicated now, but the emperor prefers the fifth prince.

Today, Duan Quan pointed out the matter of the Five Stones Powder in the Golden Palace. In the hall, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was the Fifth Prince who did it.

Although the Emperor openly asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take full responsibility for the matter, he would definitely give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince limits and scope. Once the matter involves the Fifth Prince, there is no doubt that the Emperor will intervene.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not have absolute courage and ability, how can he escape unscathed when so many tigers are fighting for food?

However, the engagement between Yu Xin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the will of the Emperor, and there was no room for rebuttal.

Yu Xin is a child that Bai Xiang has watched grow up. She has been very smart since she was little. Bai Xiang has put a lot of effort into cultivating this granddaughter.

The more effort you put into cultivating your child, the more reluctant you will be when she gets married.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern for Yuxin. The mansion will prepare a banquet for Yuxin. If Your Highness is free, I hope you will honor us by coming." As he spoke, Bai Xiang took out a card from his arms and presented it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with both hands.

Yuan Ruiyuan would not take advantage of this opportunity. He took the post and put it away carefully.

If it were an ordinary day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would decide not to attend such a girl's birthday party, but now the situation is special. Bai Yuxin is his future Crown Princess, and on her birthday, he has to show up no matter what.

Otherwise, rumors will spread outside again.

While Bai Xiang was exchanging greetings with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the chief eunuch beside the Emperor stopped the Fifth Prince and Nian Chuan who were standing beside him and said, “Your Highness, Lord Nian, the Emperor has summoned you.”

What is coming cannot be avoided. Not only was Nian Chuan panicking, but Yuan Ruiyin was also unsure. After looking at his uncle, he secretly glanced at the young eunuch next to him, and then the two of them followed the chief eunuch to the study.

After receiving the order from the Fifth Prince, the young eunuch hurried to Concubine Nian's palace.

"What, Duan Quan brought up the matter of the Five-Stone Powder!" Concubine Nian's hand trembled, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground and scattered all over the floor.

These are terrible!

Although His Majesty has always been partial to Rui Yin, the incident of the Five Stones Powder was too shocking and had the potential to shake the foundation of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

There is no need to inquire about the current news in the Shangshufang to guess how angry the emperor is now.

Now that Rui Yin and his brother were trapped in the palace by the emperor, they were unable to deal with the problem, so Concubine Nian had no choice but to quickly write down various arrangements on the letter paper: "Send this letter to the Fifth Prince's mansion as quickly as possible. Remember, it must be quick!"

Duan Quan had already revealed the matter during the morning court session, so the only thing left now was to destroy the evidence before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's men could do so.

After arranging everything, Concubine Nian picked up the new teacup again.

Previously, Rui Yin went on a long journey to inspect the latest garrison base.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually took this opportunity to search for the Five-Stone Powder, but didn’t my brother say that what needed to be resolved had been resolved?

Now, why did another Duan Quan pop up?

This Duan Quan is so abominable. He opposes the Fifth Prince and Nian clan everywhere.

Beneath her beautiful face, there was a hint of murderous intent in Concubine Nian's eyes.

In the study room, Nian Chuan, Yuan Rui and Yin Zheng were kneeling on the ground together, without any swaying.

The two knew that the emperor was angry.

Fortunately, the ground is not too cold now, so kneeling for a while is not a big deal.

After dealing with all the piled-up memorials, the emperor drank a sip of tea and looked at Lao Wu and Nian Chuan who were kneeling upright: "Tell me."

Listening to the emperor's words, Yuan Ruiyin kowtowed on the ground: "Father, I don't know what you mean."

The emperor still didn't cry until he saw the coffin. He leaned back, closed his eyes and took a rest: "You can leave now."

The fact that Lao Wu now refuses to admit to the Five-Stone Powder incident shows that he is still confident of fighting the Crown Prince, or that there is a certain possibility that the Crown Prince will not be able to find any evidence.

The emperor admitted that he had always let the fight between the crown prince and the fifth brother go on and never intervened to stop it. He only did some cleaning work when the fifth brother did something unclean and left some evidence.

The emperor was somewhat curious about the Wu-Shi Powder. He wondered whether the Fifth Brother could escape unscathed from the Crown Prince's all-out pursuit this time.
