Although Xiao Xuan listened to Emperor Chu at first tell some facts about the case of stealing official salt from Jiangnan, Xiao Xuan didn't know what was really going on.

Xiao Xuan didn't know that the second prince Xiao Jin was involved, she looked at Emperor Chu and frowned, thinking that Emperor Chu was just watching Xiao Lu marry and leave the palace, and she couldn't bear to marry early.

"Father." Xiao Xuan obediently leaned on Emperor Chu's side. "If my father is really so reluctant to me, I can only let him wait for me for a few more years, and I will accompany my father in the palace more."

Emperor Chu's train of thought was interrupted by Xiao Xuan's words, he looked at his intimate daughter, and then thought about the headache Xiao Jin, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Really?" Emperor Chu asked with a smile.

Emperor Chu's private thoughts were that he didn't want either Xiao Lu or Xiao Xuan to participate in this government in the future.

"Uh-huh, of course it's true." Xiao Xuan hurriedly nodded vigorously in agreement. "My father loves me so much, and I love my father too."

A month after Xiao Lu's wedding, Emperor Chu finally broke out the case in Jiangnan above the court.

The piles and piles involved in the case are supported by all kinds of evidence presented by the pennant guard. Because Emperor Chu sent Jinqiwei to Jiangnan to investigate the case, after the case was transferred to the Criminal Department, Jinqiwei was responsible for transferring all the files that recorded the case to the Criminal Department one by one.

In the second prince's mansion, Xiao Jin sat in the study and smashed the ground.

In the main courtyard of the palace not far from the study, the second princess Hu was sitting in the courtyard, watching her children laugh and play in the courtyard. The children were playing and did not hear the faint movement.

But Hu Shi heard it, and Xiangdong, who was waiting by her side, also heard it.

Hu Shi heard the voice, but he didn't move at all, and only picked up the teacup and drank tea.

"Princess, what's going on over there?" Xiangdong was promised by the Hu family a few years ago, and now he has taken charge of all the chores in the Hu family's courtyard. She looked at the little masters who were playing in front of her, looked at Hu Shi with some hesitation, and asked in a low voice. "Do you want the slave to let the slave maid go to the front yard to inquire about what happened?"

The person who Xiangdong married was also the person who married from the Liguo Mansion with the Hu family, and now he has become the second steward of the Prince's Mansion, specializing in the purchase of the Second Prince's Mansion, and he can often go out of the mansion to walk. The shops, fields, etc., which were brought by the Hu family in their own dowry, were all handed over to Xiangdong's husband to manage.

After Xiangdong gave birth to a son, the Hu family even took the initiative to let people take their seals and go to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to cancel the slavery of Xiangdong's son.

A large family of Xiangdong's mother's family and husband's family is still serving in the Liguo Mansion, and Xiangdong and her husband are also very dedicated to serving the Hu family. Therefore, the Hu family was not stingy with them, and promised that when Xiangdong's eldest son grew up, he would release Xiangdong and her husband's slave status.

Xiangdong was already loyal, but now that the future of the family has hope, she and her husband have become even more loyal when they serve the Hu family.

"No, I don't care what he does." When Hu had just married Xiao Jin, he met the handsome Xiao Jin for the first time, and he wanted to live a good life with him. However, Xiao Jin favored the side concubine Liao, and even acquiesced to Liao's pregnancy and wanted to give birth to the eldest son when she was not pregnant for a long time.

The Liao family was pregnant before the Hu family, and with the connivance of Xiao Jin and the queen, the attitude towards the Hu family changed from the past to be submissive and became very rampant. But Xiao Jin and the queen only let the Hu family tolerate it, and did not show her eyes.

Hu Shi was heartbroken and almost broke his body by drilling the tip of the horn. Fortunately, on that day, I happened to see Xiao Xuan and the young King Yujun in the palace, and was explained by Xiao Xuan's words. Subsequently, Hu was diagnosed as pregnant, and successfully gave birth to his eldest son before Liao's birth, and Liao only gave birth to a concubine and was not valued after the difficult birth.

However, in today's faint battle for the throne, Duke Li did not stand on the side of the second prince clearly, but chose to be the same as the Duke of Zhenguo, and only wanted to be a pure minister.

Liao's was quite neglected by Xiao Jin for a while after the difficult birth, and Yongchangbo worked very hard to support Xiao Jin, jumping up and down in the middle of the court. Because of Yongchangbo, the Liao family re-emerged in front of Xiao Jin and became the undisputed side concubine in the second prince's mansion.

After giving birth to the eldest son, the Hu family successfully gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, so far the Hu family coldly watched Xiao Jin and Liao's flowers all day long before the moon and the moon had no ups and downs in their hearts, and simply did not ask for Xiao Jin's favor anymore, but only took the children in their own yard to live a good life.

However, Liao's body was seriously injured because of that difficult birth, and after so many years, even if she was the sole favor of Xiao Jin in the Second Prince's Mansion, there was no movement in her stomach.

"But the slave maid just listened to the movement in front of her, and she must have heard something serious." Xiangdong couldn't rest assured. "No matter what, the princess and the second prince are husband and wife, if something really happens, I'm afraid it will affect the princess and the little masters."

In fact, the Hu family was a little disdainful of Xiao Jin's ambition to compete for the crown, and in her early years, she also thought that she might one day jump from the princess to the crown princess, and even have the opportunity to be the queen's seat in the end.

But after a few years of getting along, the Hu family was cold-hearted, and he didn't have any expectations for Xiao Jin's struggle for the throne.

But Xiangdong's worries are not without reason, Hu Shi is not worried about Xiao Jin, but he is afraid that Xiao Jin will have something happen to him and his children in the end.

"There's some truth to what you're saying." Hu Shi motioned for Xiang Dongfu to lower her body, she turned sideways and whispered a few words in Xiang Dong's ear.

Xiang Dong nodded knowingly after hearing this.

The case file of the Jiangnan case was transferred to the Criminal Department, but the officials involved were all in Jiangnan, and Emperor Chu thought about it again and again, and decided to send Jinqiwei's men and horses to set off overnight to Jiangnan Fucheng and the county towns under its jurisdiction to arrest the officials involved and return to the imperial capital.

The main culprit in this case was temporarily announced to the public as the current prefect of Jiangnan Fucheng, so everyone's eyes in the court and China focused on the Yongchang Earl's Mansion in an instant.

Yongchangbo was so frightened that his legs were weak on the spot, and he subconsciously looked at the second prince Xiao Jin, who was standing at the forefront of the team.

Xiao Jin remained silent, ignoring his plans at all.

On the second day, without Hu's consent, Liao took people back to his mother's home, Earl Yongchang's palace.

Xiangdong's husband has been walking outside for many years, so naturally there are some news channels, Xiangdong listened to her husband's words, knew that the matter was really not small, and hurriedly asked to see the Hu family.

Hu Shiping retreated, leaving only Xiangdong alone.

"What do you say? There is such a big case in Jiangnan, and the Earl of Yongchang is involved. Hu Shi listened to what Xiangdong said, and stayed stunned for a while before he reluctantly settled down. With so much silver, I really don't believe that Yongchangbo can have the courage and ability to swallow so much silver. ”

"Princess, what should we do now?" Xiangdong couldn't hide his anxiety.

"Xiangdong, you can find a way to let your family go to my mother's house tomorrow to deliver a message and invite my mother to come over." The Hu family inevitably made the worst plan in their hearts, and who in the imperial capital didn't know the position of the Yongchang Earl's Palace.

The eldest son born to Yongchangbo's original marriage room broke with Yongchangbo in his early years, and took his wife and children to find an errand with the help of his biological mother's mother's family, and the side concubine Liao of the second prince's mansion was the daughter of Yongchangbo's stepfamily.

And the prefect of Jiangnan Mansion is the younger brother of Uncle Yongchang, and I am afraid that Earl Yongchang's Mansion will not be able to get rid of this matter.

"Slave maid, I know, immediately let the people in the slave maid's family send a message back to the Liguo Mansion."

"I said, Liao's slut is used to making jokes, but today he went back to the Yongchang Earl's Mansion without saying anything, it seems that this matter really has something to do with the Yongchang Earl's Mansion." Hu was shocked.

"The princess, do you want to send the little masters back to live in the Liguo Mansion for a while, if the little masters go back to visit their grandfather and grandmother, maybe no one will say anything?" Xiangdong suggested.

"I understand what you mean, wait for the mother to come and ask the mother to bring the children back to live for a while." Hu nodded. "If something so big happens, there will be no movement in the house, so it's better to send the children away as soon as possible, so don't let them be frightened."

After the Duke of Li Guo returned home, he kept a calm face, and no matter how the Duchess of Li Guo asked, he never said a word.

It wasn't until Xiangdong's husband sent an inconspicuous servant to pass the word that Li Guogong actually asked people to come directly to him.

The little maid said that the second princess wanted to talk to her mother, and asked the Duchess of Liguo to come over early tomorrow morning.

Duchess Liguo was suspicious, because in the past, the Hu family sent people to send people to let Xiangdong come back, and Duchess Liguo was about to ask Xiaowu about the reason, but Liguo Gong agreed.

"What the hell is going on?" Duchess Li Guo also saw that something was wrong, and after the little girl left, she grabbed Li Guogong and asked. "You came back today with a face, did something happen?"

"You woman, don't worry about these things." Li Guogong said impatiently. "If you go early tomorrow, your daughter should let you bring the children back for a while, don't ask for anything, just bring the children back."

"What?!" After listening to the words of the Duke of Li, the Duchess of Li Guo was even more suspicious in her heart. "It's good to pick up the children and come back, is there something happened to the princess in the prince's mansion, that's also my daughter, you can't hide it from me!"

"Things won't be clear for a while." Li Guogong shook his head. "In short, now that the princess is safe and sound, don't say anything if you go, just say that it is our husband and wife who want their grandson and granddaughter, so they will pick up the children to live in the Liguo Mansion."

Duchess Li Guogong looked at Li Guogong's face becoming darker and darker, she knew her husband's temperament, and knew that if Li Guogong didn't want to say it, no matter how much she asked, it would be useless, only Ying Cheng would go to the Second Prince's Mansion tomorrow to pick up the children.
