Chi Tang quietly touched the outside of the study, and sure enough, he saw that the guards of the East Palace were all over.

She looked over for a while, but didn't see the familiar Xue Ce.

But there were also a few kind-faced people who glanced at her, and then glanced into the study, and lowered their eyes silently.

The hint was so obvious that Chi Tang was even more embarrassed to go in.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down to find her father, it must be for business, although His Royal Highness doesn't mind her going in, but she seems to be quite ignorant when she goes in like this?

Seeing that the little girl Chi's face faded, the guards guarding the door finally couldn't help but run in, but after a while, they ran out again, and said very officially: "Your Highness, please go in!" ”

Chi Tang looked at him blankly for a while, and had no choice but to go in.

Walking to the front of the house, just about to cross the threshold, he suddenly saw a person thrown in the house, Chi Tang was caught off guard and exclaimed, and jumped backwards.

Chi Changting rushed forward, quickly lifted the person on the ground, threw it to the corner of the wall, and turned his head to appease Chi Tang: "Don't be afraid, it's still alive!" ”

Chi Tang breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and lifted the corner of his skirt again to cross the threshold.

Chi Changting turned his head again and said dissatisfiedly: "What does Ah Tang do with this kind of thing?" Plainly frightened her! ”

The voice in the house was faint: "She has been anxious for many days, and since there is a result, I will teach her to rest assured earlier." ”

As soon as Chi Tang heard this voice, his heart pounded, and he was still holding on to the door frame, so he couldn't help but look up.

He was also looking at her, his eyes a little fiery with concentration.

"Ahem!" Chi Changting coughed heavily, and said with a straight face, "Don't come in to greet Your Highness yet!" ”

Chi Tang entered the house with a red face, and before he could salute, he heard him say in a light voice: "No need to be polite." ”

How's that going to work? Daddy is still watching!

Chi Tang grimaced and forcibly saluted him.

When she bowed down on her knees, as far as her eye could see, under the corners of the robe embroidered with dragon patterns, the black leather boots were slightly raised, and then put them back, causing the corners of the robe to shake slightly, and there were countless ripples.

"Get up." He stretched out his hand and helped him a little, his tone a little helpless.

Chi Tang suddenly felt a sense of prank success, and secretly curled the corners of his lips and ran briskly behind Chi Changting.

After standing still, he subconsciously raised his head and swept around the room, only to find that there were two other people in the room, one was dressed in gray and looked extremely ordinary, and the other was dressed in a dark green official uniform, but it looked a little extraordinary.

"This is Xue Jiu." Li Yan introduced.

Chi Tang glanced at the man again in surprise.

She knew Xue Jiu.

Xue Jiu, whose name is Jian, is the nephew of the Duke of Qi and the cousin of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The former Duke of Qi had two sons and a daughter, the daughter was the late Empress Xue, the eldest son Xue Hui was the current Duke of Qi, and the youngest son Xue He was Xue Jian's father.

Xue He died of illness five years ago, leaving only Xue Jian with a son.

It is strange to say, all the sons of Qi Guogong are in important positions, as the only son of Xue He, Xue Jian's official products are only from the sixth grade, and he is still a yamen that does not matter much.

Chi Tang saw Xue He seriously this is the first time, and he thinks it looks very good, but for some reason he has not been reused, and he doesn't know why he is here now.

In the past, it was Xue Ce who was inseparable from His Royal Highness the Prince, why did he change it to Xue Jian this time?

"This matter has been clarified, and because it involves the Xue family, the Xue family of the ninth generation of Xue is aware of it." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.

Chi Tang suddenly realized and glanced at him gratefully.

There was a conflict between the Chi and Xue families, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used his own people to investigate this matter, and after finding out, with the closeness of His Royal Highness the Prince and the Duke of Qi, it was normal to tell the Duke of Qi first, and then call his father to the Duke of Qi to reprimand him.

But His Royal Highness chose to come to the Chi family first, and even Xue Ce avoided it, and only let his father and Xue Jian confront him, which undoubtedly saved a lot of face for his father.

They all sat down, and Li Yan nodded at the man in gray.

The man in gray walked to the corner, lifted the tied man back, lowered it in the middle, and pulled the man by the hair to force him to look up.

His face was revealed, and Chi Tang gasped.

It's a silver candle!

After Yinzhu escaped three days ago, she went to ask Zhan Yu every day if she had been caught, but there was no news at all, and it fell into the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince!

"It turned out that His Highness robbed it!" Chi Changting smiled coldly.

Li Yan's expression was faint: "This woman is cautious, she has never shown her feet in Beijing for half a year, and if Gong Chi wants to wait for the rabbit, I am afraid she will have to guard it for a year and a half." ”

As soon as he said this, Chi Changting felt the resentful gaze of his daughter behind him, and coughed twice in embarrassment.

He interrogated Silver Candle that night in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and knew that it was not easy to interrogate, otherwise he would not have chosen to spy on her after she escaped.

Unexpectedly, Li Yan was less patient than him.

However, if you catch someone, you will arrest someone, what does it mean to squeeze him in front of Ah Tang?

Chi Changting glanced at him and asked, "Could it be that His Highness has come out of trial?" ”

Looking at the appearance of the silver candle, although it can't be seen from the outside, but the eyes are tired and sluggish, it must have been subjected to some special torture.

"Nope." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not move.

Chi Changting smiled, picked up the teacup, took a leisurely sip, and then listened to the man in gray said: "This woman entered the tooth line in Changsong, Wuwei County on the eighteenth day of the first month of last year, and entered Beijing on the fourteenth day of the first month of this year...... Wuxing, Jiangdu! ”

Silver Candle looked up suddenly, shocked at him.

Chi Changting was also taken aback.

Wuxing, Jiangdu, isn't this the route of Qin Gui?

If the silver candle is really Qin Gui's person, before entering Changsong, he will inevitably erase the traces of the past.

It's not that they can't find it, but what Qin Gui has planned, it's time, so even if they find it in the end, it won't help.

How did the prince find out in just over half a month? The East Palace agent is already so powerful?

Li Yan didn't bother to answer this question, but commanded the man in gray: "Start from the beginning." ”

The gray-clothed man bowed, straightened up, and said, "Seven years of Xinghe-"

In the seventh year of Xinghe, that is, seven years ago, Chi Changting was appointed to a foreign position, and Fang Gu decided to stay in Beijing with her husband because she married a merchant in the capital.

A year later, Fanggu's husband died of illness in Changsong, and Fanggu stayed in Changsong because she was pregnant.

In the ninth year of Xinghe, Fang Gu gave birth to a son, because she was worried that the child was young and there were no relatives in the capital, so she simply stayed in Changsong for five years.

Until June of the thirteenth year of Xinghe, Lao Kang, the son of Fanggu, suddenly went missing.

"This woman is in June of the thirteenth year of Xinghe, after Lao Kang disappeared, she entered the Lao family, stayed in the Lao family for half a year, entered the dental industry, went to Beijing, and entered the Chi Mansion."

As soon as he said this, Chi Tang suddenly became enlightened.

Qin Gui arrested Fang Gu's child, so Fang Gu desperately wanted to slander Qi Guogong, no wonder Fang Gu looked at her like that before she died.

In the past, there was nothing wrong with the master and servant, but now Aunt Fang deceived her for her own child, and she had no choice but to blame herself.

I don't know if Aunt Fang's child has been found......

Chi Tang was about to ask, but he heard his father ask in a faint tone, "How did Your Highness find out?" ”

Not everyone believes it when they hear it.
