Tao Chengxiang stood not far away and watched Yan Nanwan and Tao Xiaobei's relationship, as well as the faint smile on Tao Xiaobei's face, and looked at Yan Nanwan more and more pleasing to the eye.

Although he is not stubborn and old-fashioned, he is not optimistic about the matter of women entering the court. Now looking at the comings and goings between Yan Nanwan and his son, he thinks about it carefully, but he doesn't care about these things.

even thought that if Yan Nanwan married his son in the future, he would definitely take Yan Nanwan and make her a legend.

The housekeeper looked at Prime Minister Tao standing not far away, walked over and asked, "Prime Minister, what are you looking at?"

Prime Minister Tao picked up the shelf, pretended to look at the housekeeper seriously, turned around and went to the study, took two steps, stopped, and beckoned to the housekeeper behind him.

The housekeeper looked confused and walked over: "Prime Minister, what's wrong?"

"Let the kitchen make some snacks and send them to the hall, saying that Gongzi specially ordered someone to make them for Lord Yan. Tao Cheng said.

The housekeeper nodded: "The old slave will do it." ”

In the hall, Yan Nanwan was not polite at all, sitting leisurely under Tao Xiaobei, and raised his eyes to look at him: "How is the matter of the five princes investigated?"

"It's still checking, it's coming. ”

"Since the fifth prince is asking you to protect him from death, then I will spare his life, so that I can also keep your secret. ”

Tao Xiaobei looked at her and frowned: "Although there is no full evidence yet, the matter of Liucun must be related to the five princes, and the matter of Cuihong Courtyard yesterday is inseparable from the five princes, how can you spare his life?"

"I mean, just because he lives doesn't mean he can live. Yan Nanwan's smile was unfathomable, "Someone wants him to die more than you and me!"

Tao Xiaobei asked, "How do you explain to the emperor?"

Yan Nanwan blinked: "Do you think the emperor can really be ruthless and let me kill the five princes?"

The two glanced at each other, and they both understood what Yan Nanwan meant.

Although the emperor said that the court said that he was selfless, he was his son after all, so it was so easy to watch his son be beheaded.

"So, although you checked it, after finding the evidence, I will present the evidence to the emperor, and we will kick this mess to the emperor. ”

Tao Xiaobei nodded, and there was no joy or anger in his tone: "If you are a man, I am afraid that the entire court will be played by you." ”

"I'm not a man, and I can play well in the court. Yan Nanwan said with a smile.

She waved her hand: "Don't talk about these things. I came here today to ask you one more thing. ”

"What?"

"I heard that you have known the crown princess since you were a child, what kind of person is the crown princess in your eyes?"

Speaking of Zhao Heqian, Tao Xiaobei's face sank, his ink eyes were surging, and he didn't speak.

"What's wrong with you?" Yan Nan saw that he refused to speak, and his face was not as good as before, "Did I ask something that shouldn't be asked?"

Who didn't have something he didn't want to mention, she understood, thinking that if he didn't want to say, she wouldn't ask.

She continued: "If you ask about your sadness, if you don't want to say it, I won't ask. ”

"I won't say it, you should check it yourself when you leave the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Tao Xiaobei spoke, and his surging ink eyes returned to calm.

Yan Nanwan blinked and laughed: "Then do you say it or not?"

"You are just here to save the crown princess from going to Yanfu today, according to my understanding of the crown princess, she will not do such a thing, besides, King Zhao is a loyal and patriotic person, and the daughter he taught is naturally not bad. Today's incident was naturally instructed by the prince, and as for what she said to you, most of it was also taught by the prince. ”

"Thank you!" Yan Nanwan clenched his fists.

When the evidence that the five princes and Concubine Qi joined forces to rebel and frame their brothers was placed in front of the emperor one by one, the emperor was furious and immediately decided to behead the five princes for public display.

In the end, the emperor still couldn't bear it, and issued a holy decree to confine the five princes in the palace for life.

On the second day of being confined, the fifth prince died violently in the palace, and the cause of death is unknown.

Tao Xiaobei found out that although the Cuihong Courtyard was related to the Five Princes, the people behind it were not the Five Princes, and Yan Nanwan only showed the emperor that the Cuihong Courtyard was hiding dirt and dirt, and the emperor ordered a fire to completely burn the Cuihong Courtyard into a pile of ruins.

The incident in Liucun, which has been in trouble for many days, has finally come to an end.

Yan Nanwan became famous because of the incident in Liucun, and everyone in the capital knew that although Dali Siqing is a woman today, Wen Taowu is no less than a man.

The businessmen of Tiannan and Haibei in the capital spread the deeds of Yan Nanwan all over the world, and everyone knew that there was a woman in Beijing who entered the court as an official like a man.

For a time, Yan Nanwan's name was remembered by people all over the world. There are even many women who began to follow Yan Nanwan's example of self-reliance and self-reliance, doing business and farming, instead of relying on a man to live.

The emperor watched Yan Nanwan's reputation in the hearts of the people of the world grow day by day, and the scruples in his heart became deeper and deeper, and he tried Yan Nanwan many times openly and secretly.

In the winter of the following year, near the end of the year, it snowed heavily in the capital, and the snowflakes fell in torrents, and the heavy snow did not stop for three days.

As the end of the year approaches, there are more and more thieves. Yan Nan sat in the lobby of Dali Temple at night, listening to Zhang Yu say which family was robbed today, and which mansion caught the subordinate who stole things and sent it to the government, and had a headache: "These little things, you look at and deal with them." ”

Zhang Yu nodded, hesitated for a while and said, "My lord, there is one more matter that you need to deal with personally." ”

"What?"

"Someone from the princess came to report the case, saying that the East Palace was robbed. ”

Yan Nanwan raised her head from a pile of thick files: "The princess was robbed, which prince's mansion?" After asking, she suddenly understood, in the whole world, except for the prince's East Palace, isn't it only the seventh prince who has built a mansion, "A family thief or a foreign thief?"

Zhang Yu shook his head: "The person who came said it was not clear, and his subordinates didn't ask anything." ”

"Go find Feng Lan, and the two of you will go and have a look together. Yan Nanwan buried her head in the thick file again, and her eyes were a little gloomy, "Ahem, cough, cough...... Ahem......"

"My lord, there have been no major events in Beijing recently, you better go back and rest!" Zhang Yu listened to Yan Nan's heart-wrenching cough in the evening, and he also worried.

Yan Nanwan shook her hand indifferently: "It's okay, ** is sick, the winter will be fine." ”

Since last winter, I have been coughing non-stop in winter, as if I have tuberculosis.

Zhu San and Old Man Gu showed her again and again, but they didn't find the cause, Yan Nanchen didn't give up, and found a folk doctor to show her, but she still didn't see anything.

When the prince heard about this, he asked the imperial doctor in the palace to show her, but he still couldn't see anything.

By the time the following spring came, it would be fine again.

The official ran in from outside, and the snow fell all over his body: "My lord, someone has reported the crime." ”
