After entering the door, Xiao Mushan raised his eyebrows slightly, arched his hands and bowed his waist, his tone was calm, "My lord, please refer to the emperor and queen."

"King Zhennan doesn't need to be too polite." Xiao Jingyuan said lightly.

"I don't know, the emperor came late at night, what orders do you have?" Xiao Mushan stood upright and said respectfully.

"I went to Qiyan Town in the past few days, met a few people there, and learned some things. I don't know... Is the King of Zhennan interested in knowing?" Xiao Jingyuan said.

Hearing Xiao Jingyuan said that he had gone to Qiyan Town, Xiao Mushan narrowed his eyes. When they left Fengtai Town, they got rid of their hidden guards and disappeared. There is no mention of Qiyan Town.

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Mushan understood the key point. He was afraid that he had already been calculated, inside and out, completely calculated, but...

Xiao Mushan thought about it for a moment, and didn't care whether Xiao Jingyuan asked him to sit down, so he walked to the side seat and sat down, "I don't know what the emperor knows? I'm also very interested to hear it."

"There is a merchant named Zhao in Qiyan Town, who colluded with Liang Qishan, the grain transportation official in Hanoi. Together, the two embezzled the government's disaster relief money, embezzled grain privately, and drove up the price of grain. The people were miserable." Xiao Jingyuan leaned on the back of the chair. I'm talking.

"Oh? There are also such crimes that have caused the people to live in dire straits. It is really a capital crime." Xiao Mushan said indifferently.

"King Zhennan also thinks so?" Xiao Jingyuan said.

"Naturally, Qiyan Town also belongs to the hinterland of the south, and the ministers have the responsibility of governing it. Now that such evildoers have appeared, it is difficult for the common people to be angry." Xiao Mushan said righteously.

Xiao Jingyuan nodded, "That's exactly the case. Unfaithful, unjust, benevolent, and unfilial people who commit chaos like this, don't think about the suffering of the people, withhold the government's disaster relief funds, and oppress the people, must not be lightly forgiven."

As he spoke, he chuckled lightly and clapped his hands, "Come here, take Zhennan Wang... down."

Following an order, the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was immediately surrounded by flames, but Xiao Mushan sat on the chair without any panic, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Jingyuan, "What is the emperor's intention?"

"Didn't we reach an agreement just now, we must not lightly spare the treacherous people." Xiao Jingyuan raised his eyebrows and said, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"I don't know when and what I did to make the emperor so misunderstood that I wanted to kill him." Xiao Mushan glanced at Xiao Jingyuan. Although he was old, his tiger-like eyes were still the same Sharp and majestic.

"I forgot to mention just now, we found a booklet at Liang Qishan's house, the King of Zhennan should be very familiar with the things in it." Xiao Jingyuan took out a yellowed booklet as he spoke.

As soon as he saw the brochure, Xiao Mushan finally remembered who Liang Qishan was. This Liang Qishan was the Hanoi grain transport officer in Qiyan Town. thing.

"I'm here, but I saw a lot of familiar names. I don't know if King Zhennan knows the same." Xiao Jingyuan flipped through them casually.

Xiao Mushan squinted his eyes, "The emperor is going to Xingshi to question the crime."

Hearing this, Si Ruihan, who hadn't spoken until now, raised his head slightly, "King Zhennan knows in his heart that everything has a cause and effect, and what you sow will reap the fruit."

Xiao Mushan stared at him, "The queen's words are true, but don't make a mistake, thinking that this few people can trap this king?"

"If it's just these few people, it's not easy to trap the famous Zhennan King. However, you can still be calm here, it must be because you have something to rely on." Si Ruihan said lightly.

"You have been greedy for disaster relief funds from the Mo court for many years, and you have built such a luxurious mansion, and you can be so self-satisfied. Presumably, you have stocked up a lot of elite soldiers and generals for yourself, but I don't know if those people in the Ge family manor can beat the Li family army. Long-spear cavalry." Si Ruihan said.

Si Ruihan's words were like a basin of cold water pouring down his head, pouring Xiao Mushan's heart into a chill. He never expected that Xiao Jingyuan already knew everything, and now that he was a trapped beast in that cage, he really no longer able to resist.

Maybe it was not exciting enough, Xiao Jingyuan clapped his hands, and two heads landed in the front hall, they were the heads of the old housekeeper of Zhennan Palace and the leader in charge of Gejiazhuang.

King Zhennan closed his eyes, "I miscalculated you after all."

"You just miscalculated yourself, not me, but why didn't you think that someone would come to save you." Xiao Jingyuan asked him with a glance.

"Save me? Who will come to save me? I, Xiao Mushan, want to plan a campaign. If I lose, I lose." Xiao Mushan stared at Xiao Jingyuan.

"Actually, you are more cruel and ruthless than your father. In the final analysis, I am your uncle. What you do is to eliminate my Xiao Mushan's heir. You are not afraid of the historian's words and the common people's fabrications."

"Everything in the world has its own conclusions. The people of Zhennan naturally know what you are like. As for historians, they care so much about what they do." Xiao Jingyuan said.

At this moment, his young and immature face was incongruously calm, his dark eyes were bottomless, and his whole body exuded a cold, ruthless, unpredictable.

He got up and walked to Si Ruihan's side and stretched out his hand. Si Ruihan paused for a moment and then stood up with strength. Xiao Jingyuan walked in front of Xiao Mushan, "Besides, I'm the one who wants to kill you. The one who killed you is not me."

Xiao Mushan's eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something, but he also laughed out loud, "So it was him, it turned out to be him."

"Have you ever met the late emperor's father-in-law, Eunuch Sun?" Si Ruihan asked after he laughed.

Xiao Mushan was slightly taken aback, "Then Eunuch Sun is a treacherous and cunning person, hasn't he disappeared for several months, how could this king see him."

Si Ruihan nodded, and followed Xiao Jingyuan out. At this moment, Xiao Qingfeng and Xiao Yuyan had been dragged out of their respective courtyards, and they were both disheveled and kneeling on the ground.

The figures of Xiao Jingyuan and Si Ruihan appeared, they couldn't help but look up, seeing that their father hadn't come out, the two of them began to care about each other.

Xiao Qingfeng suddenly laughed a few times, "Sure enough, I lost, hahaha, I really lost."

The guard at the side kicked him, and he barely stopped smiling, but his expression was like a madman. Xiao Jingyuan looked at him coldly, then turned his head to look at Si Ruihan, "Let's go back to rest, leave this place to Li Mo .”

Si Ruihan nodded, and just as the two were about to leave, Xiao Yuyan said slowly, "Your Majesty, can you listen to me?"

Xiao Yuyan's words made Si Ruihan stop in his tracks. He turned his head to look at Xiao Yuyan, who smiled slowly, "Queen, do you ever regret marrying the emperor, and regret sitting in this seat."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyuan firmly grabbed Si Ruihan's hand, turned to look at Xiao Yuyan, his eyes were piercingly cold, "Bewitching people with deceitful words, instigating them in public, their hearts can be punished."

Xiao Yuyan smiled, "I am already a person who is going to die, what are you afraid of, the queen has not answered yet, the emperor is so impatient, I think I know how the queen will answer."

"You..." Xiao Jingyuan opened his mouth angrily, and Si Ruihan squeezed his palm, "What do you want to say."

Seeing Si Ruihan's cold expression and the alienation in his tone, she fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, you know, I have admired you for nearly two years, during these two years, I have thought about you day and night, and I have never forgotten what you look like." Your appearance, your talent, your demeanor."

Xiao Jingyuan clenched his fists tightly, and Si Ruihan took a step forward, "You are a straightforward woman, but you are the daughter of the Zhennan Palace, this is your fate, and now, I hope you will die in the next life." No longer falling into the royal court."

After finishing speaking, Si Ruihan tugged Xiao Jingyuan, and gave him a faint glance. Xiao Yuyan looked up at their figures together, and shouted desperately, "Si Ruihan, if there is an afterlife, you..."

"If there is an afterlife, he is mine too, so don't even think about it." Xiao Jingyuan put his arms around Si Ruihan's waist, and said coldly, the murderous intent in his eyes scattered.

Xiao Yuyan smiled in relief, and suddenly slammed into the blade in front of her, blood scattered everywhere, and she died.

Xiao Jingyuan clenched his fists and pulled Si Ruihan to the backyard without looking back. Si Ruihan could only trot to keep up with him.

At the same time, the most remote courtyard in the west of the entire Zhennan Palace is the most peaceful place at the moment.

Xiao Qingyang pushed open the door and saw Mu Yilan standing in the yard. As soon as he took a step, Mu Yilan turned around and stared at him, "Go in."

Xiao Qingyang clenched her fists and pursed her lips, "Such a big incident happened in the mansion, I'm going to take a look."

When Mu Yilan heard this, she walked step by step. Xiao Qingyang paused for a moment, unconsciously wanting to retreat, but stood there stubbornly until Mu Yilan walked in front of him.

Xiao Qingyang raised his head slightly and saw Mu Yilan's eyes as deep as a cold pool, his body trembled involuntarily, he turned his head slightly, "I am Xiao Mushan's son, I can't escape tonight."

Mu Yilan reached out and picked up Xiao Qingyang's scattered strands of black hair, lifted it up and put it under her nose to sniff, Xiao Qingyang clenched her fists, "I can't avoid such a big matter in the Xiao family if I don't go out."

"The Xiao family..." Mu Yilan raised her eyes, and the slender eyes came through the cold silver mask, making her feel even colder.

"The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is like this now, isn't it what you want to see." Mu Yilan said lightly, but these words fell deeply into Xiao Qingyang's heart.

Seeing the panic flashing in his eyes, Mu Yilan put her hands on the door, trapping him in the doorway, "Go out now, others will mistake you for a traitor, and I have to work hard to save you .”

"I don't need your help." Xiao Qingyang raised his head and said, after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized something, covered his mouth subconsciously, and dodged his eyes.

"I don't need to save you, how many times have I saved you? Are you so heartless?" Mu Yilan squinted her eyes and said.
