King Zhao smiled, didn't speak, and gave Zhao Heqian a look.

Zhao Heqian looked at King Zhao and suddenly realized something, his face was first shocked, and then moved.

King Zhao took Zhao Heqian into the hall, asked people to bring hot tea, waved everyone around him away, and said seriously: "Qian'er, how are you doing in the East Palace, my father knows it." ”

"Dad, my daughter is not bitter. Zhao Heqian shook her head with a smile and comforted King Zhao, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... me Good for me. ”

King Zhao looked at Zhao Heqian, his eyes were a little moist, and he beckoned to Zhao Heqian: "Come, let Daddy take a good look." ”

Zhao Heqian got up and walked in front of King Zhao, squatted down, and rested her head on his lap: "Dad, when my daughter grows up, she will take good care of herself." ”

"Qian'er, are you afraid of being suspended?" King Zhao was silent for a long time, and finally said what he had been thinking about for a long time.

How is Zhao Heqian doing in the East Palace, although she never tells King Zhao, and there is no news in the East Palace to pass on, but King Zhao is King Zhao after all, he is older than the prince, and he naturally thinks much deeper than the prince.

Even if the East Palace is heavily guarded, the people are all personally selected by the prince, but King Zhao still inserts people in the East Palace.

When Xue Hanmu sold Zhao Heqian's dowry maid, King Zhao stuffed a person in.

He has been loyal and patriotic all his life, and he is very loyal to the emperor and the crown prince, but Zhao Heqian is his daughter, his only relative in this world, and the only child of him and his beloved wife, even if he despises the royal majesty on his back, he is not afraid.

Zhao Heqian raised her head and looked at King Zhao, her eyes widened: "Dad, what did you say?"

"Qian'er, if you don't want to live with the prince, just tell your father, and your father will go to the emperor. King Zhao raised his hand and touched Zhao Heqian's head, and smiled, "Dad is useless, I can't let you reconcile with the prince, I can only let the prince divorce you." Although the reputation of your daughter's family is important, if you don't have a good life, you won't be happy no matter how good your reputation is. ”

Zhao Heqian cried and nodded heavily: "My daughter knows." ”

......

Xue Hanmu followed Qin Zhao to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, looked at the person who replaced Hua Chen in the cell, tortured him severely, and finally didn't ask anything.

Xue Hanmu scolded Qin Zhao again, left the Criminal Department angrily, and went to Yan Mansion.

Qin Zhao took Xue Hanmu's edict and searched for Hua Chen throughout the city.

"My lord, there is not even a portrait here, where are we going to find someone?"

Qin Zhao's face was flat, and he said to the servant: "Go find a painter." ”

Qin Zhao had the impression of seeing Hua Chen in the court, and told the painter, and the painter drew a rough idea according to Qin Zhao's description.

Looking at the people on the scroll, although there is a general idea, but it is really too bad, Qin Zhao asked the painter to paint a lot, and asked the officials to take the portraits all over the capital to find people.

Yan Mansion, Yan Nanchen heard that Xue Hanmu came to Yan Mansion on the second day of the Lunar New Year, he was surprised, and joked with Han Yuxiao: "I don't know that I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the son-in-law of Yan Mansion." ”

Han Yuxiao smiled: "You go ahead and take a look." ”

"I guess I'm here to find Nanwan. Yan Nanchen got up, "You go to the courtyard of Nanwan and ask, I'll go and have a look first." ”

Han Yuxiao reminded: "You forgot, didn't Nan Wan tell you last night, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to look for her, and always said that she was not there." ”

After Han Yuxiao said this, Yan Nanchen also remembered.

It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have something to ask Nan Wan for help. And his sister obviously doesn't want to help at all.

"Alright, I got it. Yan Nanchen weighed a little in his heart.

Xue Hanmu was waiting in the hall, and Uncle Chen was waiting on the side.

"I don't know if Lord Yan is in the mansion?" Xue Hanmu waited a little anxiously.

Before Uncle Chen could speak, Yan Nanchen's warm voice sounded outside the house: "It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to find his sister." ”

Xue Hanmu got up and nodded: "Yes." ”

Yan Nanchen saluted: "My sister has not been in the house for the past few days. ”

"Then where did Lord Yan go?" Xue Hanmu hurriedly asked.

Yan Nanchen shook his head with a helpless expression: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I can't hide it, my sister's temperament is getting more and more wild, and I, as an elder brother, can't control it, and I haven't been home for two days." ”

"What places does Lord Yan like to go to on weekdays?" Xue Hanmu asked without giving up.

Yan Nanchen still shook his head: "My sister has been investigating cases in Dali Temple for more than a year, and the lower officials haven't talked much with her, and there are no maids by her side, so I don't know." ”

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Xue Hanmu exchanged a few more words with Yan Nanchen and left the Yan Mansion.

Yan Nanchen sent Xue Hanmu to the gate of the Yan Mansion, looked at the back of Xue Hanmu leaving, and instructed Uncle Chen beside him: "Tell the people in the mansion that if anyone asks about Miss's whereabouts in the past few days, they will say that they don't know." ”

Uncle Chen nodded and immediately went to do it.

Yan Nanchen turned around and went in, and went directly to Yan Nanwan's courtyard.

Yan Nanwan sat by the fire, reading a ghost story in a very good mood, and stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth from time to time.

Yan Nanchen opened the curtain of the door and came in, looked at her leisurely posture, and smiled: "You are leisurely, let me block everything for you in front." ”

Yan Nanwan heard the sound, raised his head, and smiled playfully: "Who made you my brother!"

"The prince is here. ”

"I know. ”

Yan Nanwan didn't care and continued to read.

Yan Nanchen asked, "What is he looking for you?"

"It's not Hua Chen's business yet. Yan Nanwan pursed his lips, "Whoever His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes to look for first weighs whether that person is useful to him, otherwise he won't waste time." ”

Yan Nanchen smiled and was noncommittal: "You have been staying in the mansion for the past few days, and I told the prince that you are not in the mansion." ”

Yan Nanwan nodded and said with a smile: "This big net has been weaved, let's see how many big fish can be caught in the net." ”

"I've seen a lot. Yan Nanchen walked across from her and sat down, stretched out his hand to bake the fire on the stove, "Just now I saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very anxious. ”

"I've seen him unpleasant for a long time, even if I can't let him lose the position of the crown prince this time, I will let him lose the emperor's trust. ”

"Are you going to seek the throne for the Seventh Prince?" Yan Nanchen lifted his eyelids.

Yan Nan was silent for a while, and nodded heavily: "Brother, in fact, the seventh prince is not the emperor's son. ”

"Are you afraid that after the crown prince ascends the throne, you will harm the Seventh Prince?" Yan Nanchen asked calmly.

Yan Nanwan was slightly puzzled: "Brother, aren't you surprised by Xue Yan's identity?"

Yan Nanchen looked at her funny: "Do you know what your brother's identity is?"

Yan Nan was late, and these things should have been recorded: "Then do you know who Xue Yan's father is?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't. ”

"If you don't ask, you don't ask. Yan Nanwan pursed her lips and continued, "Then brother, which side are you on?"
