In the palace, the emperor listened to the further news of the prince, and his face turned pale.

The prince was nervous, and he didn't know if he was right or wrong, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Is that true?" The Emperor frowned, still unwilling to believe it.

"It's been rumored out there for a long time, but ...... The admiral deliberately suppressed it, so ...... "The prince is also truthful."

"Humph! What a bold father and daughter! The emperor slapped the imperial case, his face like frost.

"Your Majesty...... That's what the message says, though...... The real and false old slaves have not yet been verified, perhaps...... Not necessarily...... "The prince has been a slave for decades, and the thing he knows best is that he will never say anything to death."

"Hiss...... "The emperor is not just worried now.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go and help you find the general, maybe face to face, you two can handle it." It has been more than ten days since the incident happened, and although Admiral Zhao Zongtong did help Liu Shilang in private, he still hasn't said anything to the emperor.

The emperor's worries, the prince can understand, it is nothing more than that he wants to deal with this matter properly, but also does not want to embarrass Zhao Zongtong.

And the admiral has not pleaded with the emperor for a long time, which shows that the admiral is also guarding his own bottom line, and he doesn't want the emperor to be embarrassed, plus those rumors outside, it is not a way for the two of them to go on like this, so the prince proposed.

"Whew...... That's all it can be...... Ke Zong said to him...... "The emperor has no better way.

"Your Majesty, Prince Zongguang asks to see ......" In the palace, the emperor was still at a loss, and outside the palace, the little eunuch came in and said.

"Shhh...... Zong Guang is here? "The emperor was a little surprised.

"Your Majesty, the old slave looks, King Zongguang is afraid that he is also here for the general." The prince speculated.

"Shhh...... Fortunately, with the help of Zong Guang, I won't be so embarrassed, go, pass him in. The Emperor immediately had an idea and waved.

"Yes!" The little eunuch immediately retreated, and King Zong Guang entered the palace......

King Zongguang entered the palace for a day, and it was not until night that he returned from the palace exhausted.

Although Jiang Mo and Zhao Chaoxuan were worried, as soon as King Zongguang came back, he separated the two of them and said something to the princess, although the two were anxious, they didn't dare to say much.

Early in the morning of the second day, Jiang Mo and Zhao Chaoxuan hesitated to go to school, and King Zong Guang and the princess also went out to the General's Mansion.

It wasn't until Jiang Mo and Zhao Chaoxuan went to school that King Zong Guang and the princess came back at about the same time, which was a whole day.

As for what they said to Zhao Zongtong, King Zong Guang and the princess were reluctant to say more, even if Jiang Mo and Zhao Chaoxuan begged, they didn't ask why.

I just know that half a month later, Liu Shilang Liu Ji, who should have been sentenced heavily, was still released.

He was not killed, he was not imprisoned, but he was dismissed from his official position, fined and confiscated the money for corruption, and was imprisoned at home, which was the best end for this corrupt official.

This result really made Jiang Mo and Zhao Chao Xuanmeng, and the people in Beijing also talked about it for a while.

Could it be that the little uncle Zhao Zongtong finally compromised?

Jiang Mo and Zhao Chaoxuan didn't want to believe it, but if it weren't for that, how could Liu Ji's big crime come out unharmed in the end, someone must be mediating it, not Zhao Zongtong, who else has the ability?

has always believed that it was Zhao Zongtong who was forced to do it out of desperation, but Jiang Mo and Zhao Chaoxuan didn't know that the matter was far from being as simple as they thought.

Behind this, in addition to the helpless Zhao Zongtong and the emperor who made a difficulty, there is another force with an unknown purpose, that is, King Zonglu, who has always been taboo and wants to be alone.

As for why he reversed his word and was willing to intervene in this matter, the purpose is unknown.

However, the emperor knew all this, Zhao Zongtong knew, King Zongguang knew, and Liu Ji himself also knew, but only Zhao Chaoxuan and Jiang Mo were still a little confused.

Things were in an uproar, but they ended very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Ji had been released home for a few days.

Liu Shilang, oh no, he should be called Liu Ji now.

Liu Ji was rescued, no matter whether it was good or bad, the matter could be regarded as over, and Liu Changxi was bound to reconcile with Zhao Chaoxuan.

Even if you can't be so fast, you should come to report your safety to Zhao Zongtong and say thank you, after all, Zhao Zongtong did his best for her.

However, Liu Ji has been back to the mansion for a few days, but Liu Changxi has never been to the General's Mansion, and even Zhao Zongtong sent people to visit, but they all avoided it.

originally thought that after this change, Liu Changxi would also need a period of time to recover, and Zhao Zongtong didn't want to force her to be too anxious, but after half a month, Liu Changxi still had an attitude of avoiding it, and Zhao Zongtong had to hesitate a little inexplicably.

Maybe the anger of that day has not disappeared, but it is no wonder that Zhao Zongtong, not to mention that Liu Ji also came out safely in the end.

No matter what Zhao Zongtong thought, anyway, after Zhao Chaoxuan and Jiang Mo knew about it, they were quite aggrieved for Zhao Zongtong, and they were also very dissatisfied with Liu Changxi in their hearts.

It's just that Zhao Zongtong didn't say it, even if the two of them were in a hurry, it was not good to act on their behalf, so they could only work with Zhu Yan and Bai You.

However, even if Zhao Zongtong is in a bad mood, he will not feel sorry for himself for too long, after all, some things need time to digest.

It didn't take long for him to continue to go out and be busy with official business, and he seemed reluctant to mention more about what happened some time ago.

It's just that Jiang Mo can see from his occasionally lonely eyes that he must still be very uncomfortable in his heart, but he doesn't want to write it all on his face.

When it was time for the holiday in Gongxue, Jiang Mo was supposed to go back with Zhao Chaoxuan to visit her father, but because she was worried about Zhao Zongtong, she decided to go back later.

During this time, he was with Zhao Chaoxuan, and he was always by Zhao Zongtong's side, eating and drinking, playing and making trouble, and he almost slept with him, and he really tried his best to make him happy.

Zhao Zongtong is a knot in his heart, if he wants to untie it, it will be so easy for a while, not only Jiang Mo understands, but Zhao Zongtong himself also understands.

To be honest, Liu Changxi's hysteria that time made him really a little surprised, a little incredulous, and a little injured.

He regarded her as his life, but she treated him like this, and this feeling made Zhao Zongtong's heart ache.

Ten years, that was the purest and most beautiful time for each other.

In the past ten years, no matter what happened, Zhao Zongtong has never questioned the relationship between them, after all, ten years of love and acquaintance, it is not easy to protect each other, and Zhao Zongtong cherishes it.

Although he has never been married, Liu Changxi has long been a wife in his heart, not only does he think so, he thinks this is what Liu Changxi thinks in his heart.

That's why he willingly spoiled her so much, protected her, and even sacrificed the bottom limit of his love for the house and Wu, just because he really liked and really loved her.

The tacit understanding between them should be incomparable, which is why they can continue so persistently.

It's just that...... This incident made him question the tacit understanding between them, and that kind of questioning also made him really uncomfortable.

Of course, no matter how affectionate he and Liu Changxi are, after ten years of getting along, there will inevitably be friction and quarrels, and this is still the case between husband and wife, let alone them.

Naturally, there will be occasional quarrels and tantrums, but it will be a while, and none of them will take it to heart, this is their long-standing tacit consensus, and this time it is the first time that the tacit understanding between them has been broken.

Zhao Zongtong really misses the old feelings, and he really likes and spoils Liu Changxi, but this time the fact that Liu Shilang and Liu's successors are too much.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for Liu Changxi, he would never have come forward to protect him.

Because Liu Ji's corrupt behavior has far exceeded the bottom limit of what he can tolerate and compromise, not only makes him feel disdainful, but also makes him angry, so Zhao Zongtong thinks that he should be punished as he deserves.

It's just that Liu Changxi's tears made him feel distressed and made him hesitate.

Although I knew that I was doing this for personal gain, I ...... He was still reluctant to let Liu Changxi be sad, so he tried his best to take care of Liu Ji within the scope of his principles, but he couldn't do it against his will.

However, he never had the idea of ensuring his innocence and safe release, because he knew that Liu Ji was not innocent.

Therefore, he did not go to the emperor, but only used his influence to bail him out of the Criminal Division, which is famous for torture, and transferred him to Jingzhao Mansion to ensure his safety temporarily.

This is the biggest concession and compromise he can make under the limit of not violating his beliefs and loyalty and filial piety, after all, he is still an official of the imperial court, he cannot be above the law and national interests, he can't do things that violate the law, not to mention that he doesn't want his imperial uncle to follow him.

However, he was far from thinking that Liu Changxi would have such a fierce quarrel with him because of this incident.

It was probably the first time they'd known each other in so many years.
