This was exactly what Si Xingjian wanted, and he knew that there must be that figure who incited the flames behind it.

Sure enough, within two days, Qin Yi wrote: "The fish bit the hook."

He Liu'er had indeed been assassinated before, and she was a little frightened, but not seriously injured.

They caught the assassin, and the news that he didn't explain was limited, but they still found a foothold, and it also caused Lu Xin to lose his troops.

This time to persuade Qin Yi to support the eldest prince, Lu Xin played in person.

It would be a waste of their plan to only arrest Lu Xin alone. They waited for a long-term plan to wipe out all the forces behind Lu Xin.

However, as it stood, most of the fish were caught, but the biggest fish slipped away.

Qin Yi: "That Lu Xin seems to be a bit evil, and he was about to be caught, but my cronies took the initiative to cover him up and escape."

Afterwards, the confidant was also a little confused, unbelievable that he did such a thing.

Qin Yi believed that his cronies would not do anything against the Lord.

Si Xingjian knew that Lu Xin had some tricks on him, that person was used to manipulating people's hearts, but he didn't expect that the other party could even win over the enemy.

The people who were used before were weak-willed and easy to be deceived, and they were also "hypnotized" without defense.

But Qin Yi's people are different from innocent children like He Liuer, and they will not be easily fooled.

Si Xingjian guessed that Lu Xin might have stronger mental power, not just hypnosis.

If such a person escapes, he is afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future, so he cannot let Lu Xin leave.

Si Xingjian led people to chase them out of the city, and it took two days to find Lu Xin's trace at the foot of the mountain.

I have fought so many times in secret before, and I have heard Lu Xin's name many times, but this is the first time Si Xingjian has seen him in person.

Even though he was being chased, Lu Xin still seemed to be able to handle it with ease, and he didn't panic in the slightest when facing Si Xingjian.

Si Xingjian didn't know where this person's confidence came from.

He only knows how to manipulate others, and now he has nowhere to go, and he still pretends to be calm, it's just pretending.

Si Xingjian didn't gossip, and directly ordered someone to break Lu Xin's limbs and bring him back to the city for interrogation.

There is no need to search all the way when you go back. If you hurry up, it will only take two hours.But it was almost dusk at this time, even if they rushed back, the city gate was closed, so they took a rest overnight in a certain temple by the roadside.

Even though there were guards on duty in turn, Si Xingjian did not completely relax.

In the middle of the night, Si Xingjian, who was closing his eyes, suddenly felt a slight tingling pain in his head, as if his spiritual consciousness had been bitten by a bug.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that Lu Xin's face was pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he kept hitting the wall behind him with his head.

"You did it?" Si Xingjian walked over and looked down at Lu Xin.

Lu Xin opened his eyes after a while, spit out a big mouthful of blood, his body was still twitching slightly uncontrollably, he asked in disbelief: "Why?"

Si Xingjian dodged in time, not letting the blood splash on the corner of his clothes.

"This is your back trick?"

Compete with him in mental strength?Really overwhelmed.If it wasn't for his ability being suppressed in this world, it would be impossible for him to use such a small trick in front of him.

"Of course not." Lu Xin is now in a mess, unable to move his hands and feet, so he can only speak harshly, "When you are in the city, you will let me go and heal my wounds. Unless..."

Lu Xin paid for it.

But Si Xingjian didn't respond.

Lu Xin coughed up blood again, but could only continue: "Unless, you don't want your precious son's life."

Si Xingjian smiled: "Are you threatening me?"

He picked up a sword, poked a hole in Lu Xin's body casually, and asked, "So what if I kill you now? Who knows that you are in my hands now?"

Retarded!How dare you threaten him with his family?

Lu Xin had never been so frustrated before, but after thinking about it carefully, it really made sense, and he couldn't help but become more annoyed and vomited a puddle of blood again.

This time, Si Xingjian didn't dodge again, because when he stabbed him before, a few drops of blood had already been sprinkled on his clothes.

"Is it your fault that the former emperor favored Prince Jing instead? You were also involved in the empress' affairs? The Cheng family's affairs, He Liuer's affairs..." Every time he asked a question, he stabbed his sword.

Lu Xin was already exhausted, and asked intermittently: "You, you don't care at all... your son?"

Si Xingjian: "You should first worry about whether you can survive."

Seeing that Lu Xin couldn't hold back and passed out, Si Xingjian ordered someone to give Lu Xin medicine. He just didn't want Lu Xin to run away after he left, and he didn't want the person he finally caught to die so easily.

Although Si Xingjian said that he was not afraid of threats, he was still a little worried about Zai Zai's situation.

He didn't rest any more, he hurried back to the city alone, and made an exception to go in after revealing his identity as King Chen.

The city under curfew was very quiet, and the sound of hurried hooves seemed a bit abrupt.

The guards patrolling nearby heard the sound and came to check with torches.Seeing the galloping figure on horseback, someone drew a sword and raised an arrow, and shouted, "Stop! Otherwise, we will be impolite!"

Si Xingjian didn't rein in his horse, but threw away his jade pendant and asked, "You dare to stop me, too?"

A guard shook his hand and shot an arrow, which was knocked down by Si Xingjian with a whip.

The captain who received the jade pendant didn't check it carefully, but only heard the claim, so he hurriedly stopped his subordinates and moved out of the way.

"I don't know it's the prince, I offended you."

Si Xingjian didn't stop, just said "Send the jade pendant to the palace tomorrow", and continued to drive forward.

When he reached the side entrance, he stepped on his horse and leaped into the courtyard.As soon as he landed, people surrounded him.

"master?"

Si Xingjian straightened his clothes and asked, "Where is your son? What happened to the palace?"

Qingfeng hurriedly replied: "The prince is in the room, he should be asleep. Today Wang Shun tried to coax the prince to go out, but the prince found out, and then Wang Shun led someone to try to hold the prince hostage, but we took him down. Now he is being arrested. Shut up in a dungeon."

"Wang Shun?"

"It's the adopted son of Guanshi Wang, who is in charge of the garden, and Mama Zhang, who once served the master." Qingfeng explained.

Si Xingjian knew about Wang Shun.

Mama Zhang was sent by the original owner's mother to take care of the original owner. She was loyal to the original owner and cared for the cub.Wang Shun was adopted by her, and she treated Wang Shun like her own son.

As servants, even their lives can be disposed of by the master at will. If they dare to harm Prince Chen's son, it will cause the death of the whole family.Regardless of whether he was lured or threatened, Wang Shun should not do something against his master if he was considering his family.

Now that Wang Shun would do that, most likely it was Lu Xin's tricks again.

I don't know how many such people there are in the palace.

Although Si Xingjian was a little worried, Zai Zai was the most important thing to him, so he went to see Zai Zai first.

Before he entered, Lan Lan opened her eyes vigilantly and jumped out, throwing herself into his arms to claim credit.

"Today, I was the first to see through that person's malicious intentions, and scratched his face."

Si Xingjian smiled and praised, and went in to see Zai Zai in his sleep. Seeing that Zai Zai was not sleeping peacefully, he patted Zai Zai twice.

He was still wearing blood-stained clothes, so he didn't stay there for long. He went to take a bath and changed before returning to the room.

Although he hadn't rested for two days, he didn't feel sleepy.

The night in late autumn was already cool, but he was only wearing thin pajamas, even with the neckline a little open.The clothes were soaked with water dripping from the tips of her hair and stuck to her back, revealing her thin waist.

He was flipping through Zai Zai's homework on the table, blocked the light, and heard a lazy "Daddy?" behind him

Si An's sleep was really restless, since he returned to the palace, he never had such a dream again, and even gradually forgot those dreams afterward.

But today, he was almost kidnapped out of the mansion by Wang Shun, and suddenly he remembered that in his dream he was kidnapped out of the mansion when he was about nine years old to blackmail his father.

Dad had told him that he would not be allowed to go out in the near future, and he often had contact with his cronies and did not know Wang Shun, so he did not believe what Wang Shun said.

He has Lan Lan, Da Jin, and Qing Feng by his side... these are all kept by his father to protect him.

So even though he is much younger than in the dream, he was not taken away like in the dream.

He knew that he would not be in any danger in the palace, but he still couldn't feel at ease when his father was not there.

After finally falling asleep, he dreamed that he was caught today and was used to threaten his father, causing his father to be injured. He even smelled a strong smell of blood.

He felt very scared, but his father patted him to comfort him and said "it's nothing".

Then Dad disappeared. He wanted to chase after him, but his legs seemed to be stuck and he couldn't move.

He was so anxious that he cried, and woke up after crying, only to realize that it was a dream.

Si An rubbed his eyes, and when he turned around, he saw a familiar figure, and he called out in surprise, "Daddy?"

Could it be that he hasn't woken up from a dream?

Thinking of this, Si An still sat up and was about to get out of bed to have a look.

Si Xingjian put down the rice paper in his hand and turned around.

"Daddy!" Si An's voice was full of excitement. He lifted the quilt and wanted to jump down, but his feet stepped on the smooth brocade quilt, and he jumped forward.

Si Xingjian reached out to catch Zai Zai and hugged her in her arms.

"Why did you wake up?"

Si An put his arms around his neck, and his voice sounded a bit coquettish: "An An dreamed of Daddy."

Unlike Si Xingjian, who was as cool as a stone in the morning, Xiao Tuanzi, who just got out of bed, was warm all over.

Si An's arm was touching the wet hair, but he didn't feel it at all, and he was reluctant to let go of his arm.It's just that the cub's body can't stand the cold, and he couldn't help sneezing as soon as he got out of the warm blanket.

Si Xing quickly stuffed Zai Zai under the quilt.

Tucked tightly by the horns, only Si An's head was exposed. With his big eyes open, he asked softly, "Isn't Daddy cold?"

Si Xingjian casually took an outer shirt and put it on, and said, "It's not cold, have you been frightened today?"

"No." Si An shook his head slightly, "An An realized that he was lying, and daddy didn't let An An go out at will, An An was very obedient."

Si Xingjian rubbed Zai Zai's hair which was much longer than in summer, and boasted, "Well, good boy."

Seeing Zai Zai's bright eyes, he said again: "Go to bed first, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

"An'an is not sleepy."

"Sleep even if you are not sleepy." Si Xingjian took an enlightenment book to coax Zai Zai to sleep, "Close your eyes."

Si An Ping obediently closed his eyes, listening to the familiar voice, his heart was very relaxed, and fell asleep again after a while.

This time it was a dream.

Si Xingjian's hair was still wet and he didn't feel sleepy, so he went to interrogate Wang Shun.

The newly changed clothes were once again stained with the smell of blood that he didn't like, and he also got the answer he wanted.

It turned out that in Wang Shun's cognition, he was not a child randomly picked up by Zhang's mother, but the son of the Nanhou family.

Dingnanhou is the mother's family of Concubine Jing, and the whole family was beheaded or exiled because of Prince Jing's involvement.And Wang Shun regarded himself as a member of the Dingnan Houfu, and wanted to avenge his family.

Si Xingjian had no intention of investigating whether Wang Shun was really a member of Dingnanhou's Mansion. Seeing that Wang Shun believed in him, he didn't intend to keep such a hidden danger by his side.

As for what Wang Shun has done behind his back these years, death is really not a pity.

Thanks to Wang Shun, Si Xingjian uncovered a few more deeply hidden nails.These people are usually inconspicuous, and they don't do any small tricks behind their backs. They just wait for the critical moment to bite.

Si Xingjian felt that the servants of the palace should also be dismissed.

Lu Xin has already been caught, and the palace is safe now, so Xingjian doesn't plan to deal with the remaining trivial matters.

Si Xingzheng, who had pretended to be in a coma for a long time, also woke up at the right time, rewarding what should be rewarded, and demoting what should be demoted.

Facing those courtiers who claimed to support the eldest prince, he simply announced that the eldest prince would be demoted to a commoner, stripped of his surname, and removed from the jade certificate.

Si Xingzheng: He finally has a legitimate reason not to recognize this wild child!King Chen is really his lucky star, when he goes to court, he must praise and reward King Chen!

However, Si Fuxing Xingjian did not go to court at all. The three months he had promised had expired, and the big trouble had been resolved. He felt that there was no need for him to go to work again.

Si Xingzheng, who had been idle for a month, suddenly felt that the throne was meaningless in the face of a mountain of government affairs.

He looked at the government affairs that King Chen had dealt with before, and had the urge to abdicate to let the virtuous.At worst, I have to invite King Chen back to continue helping him.

The ministers sent by the emperor to be lobbyists couldn't help but slander: If it wasn't for the small age difference between King Chen and His Majesty, they would have thought that His Majesty wanted to make King Chen the emperor's younger brother.

When these ministers arrived at the gate of Prince Chen's mansion, they were rejected directly.

Si Xingjian is still in the palace, but he is too lazy to deal with these people. He knows that according to Si Xingzheng's ability, he will be able to handle the follow-up matters, so he plans to take Zai Zai to Changqing Palace for a few days.
