It was late at night, the banquet was gradually over, the guests had already left one after another, and the entire prince's mansion was gradually returning to quiet. Listening to the report of his subordinates, Ling Yan's gaze deepened a lot, but he didn't expect that someone really sneaked into the prince's study, could it be that the person he was looking for appeared.

Ling Yan remembered what the Empress had said that day.

"Yan'er, do you know why you can sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince?"

"Because the son is the son who is most like his father."

"Your father is not confused, how could he not know what you have done behind his back all these years, he just chose to turn a blind eye."

"Then why did the father never blame his son?"

"Because back then, it was your grandfathers and uncles who removed all the obstacles in front of your father and stabilized his throne, and he naturally had to be grateful to Dade! Moreover, over the years, the financial and material resources of my Xiao family have far exceeded those of those years, and your uncle and cousins have made great achievements for this Eastern Jin Dynasty and are famous! In other words, half of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is our Xiao family! After Empress Xiao finished speaking, the pride in her eyes was something Ling Yan had never seen before. That loud appearance can still be seen in front of me.

Ling Yan was shocked for a moment when the queen said such rebellious words, he never expected that his mother had become the mother of a country, and she had been married to her father and emperor for more than 20 years, and she still divided everything so clearly.

The queen continued: "How many people your grandfather and your uncle killed for the sake of your father's country, and there was countless blood on their hands, I originally thought that all this had been buried in the dust for many years, and no one remembered it anymore. But lately I've been having the same dream over and over again, in which I saw that your grandfather and uncle had been killed by a woman. I suspect that all this has something to do with the events of that year, and I don't know if there were any fish that slipped through the net back then, so it's better to check it again just in case. ”

When Ling Yan heard Empress Xiao's words, his originally nervous heart let go of a section, and he thought that the queen mother had hurriedly summoned him into the palace. It's not a big deal, but now it's just because of a dream, or something related to something decades ago, so I'm a little dismissive.

Empress Xiao saw her son's expression and knew what her son was thinking, so she said: "You hurry up and let the wind go, just say that the list of the court of the Su Dynasty is now kept in the prince's mansion, see if anyone comes to steal the list, if not, then I won't mention this matter again, but if there is, you will immediately send someone to investigate this matter, and you must cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ”

Looking at Empress Xiao's serious expression, Ling Yan finally patiently agreed. Now it seems that the queen mother's worries are not superfluous.

After the subordinates finished reporting, Ling Yan's expression was unpredictable, and after half a sound, he only heard another guard hurriedly enter the house, knelt in front of Ling Yan, and whispered: "The subordinates are incompetent, please punish the master!" ”

"Didn't see clearly?" Ling Yan's deep voice came out.

The guard who was kneeling on the ground lowered his head and said: "That day, the subordinates have been paying attention to the situation in the study, only to see a little maid hurriedly entering the study, not wanting to be blocked by Concubine Li, and talking for a while, and then after Concubine Li left, the little maid still wanted to enter the study, and the subordinates originally wanted to take her down, but I don't know who suddenly appeared and suddenly knocked the subordinates unconscious, when the subordinates woke up, it was now." ”

Listening to the guard's report, Ling Yan suddenly thought of Situ Lie and Dongfang Sheng, this guard was carefully cultivated, both in martial arts and reaction, but he was knocked unconscious to the ground, and only those two people could do it, but those two people have always been under their noses, who could it be? Moreover, the Prince's Mansion has always been heavily guarded, and those who could enter the Mansion that day were all acquaintances with invitation letters, and the guards in the Mansion patrolled strictly, so it must have been done by the people in the Mansion, did you forget something? If the person who knocked out the guards came to him quietly, he must be a master, but why didn't he kill the guards, he just stunned, what does it mean?

A series of questions appeared in his mind, Ling Yan always felt that everything was not simple, and he felt that the net he threw out was not someone else, but himself.

The carriage walked slowly on Tianfu Street, and only the sound of Dada's horses' hooves could be heard in the quiet street.

Dongfang Sheng looked at Han Xin, who was sitting opposite in men's clothes, and said softly: "Han'er seems to have grown up again?" ”

Coldly listened to Dongfang Sheng's sudden words, and responded: "Thank you for your concern!" ”

"Childe is still having a good time tonight? The beauty is happy, it must be all kinds of pleasure! Chill continued.

Hearing this, Dongfang Sheng's eyes overflowed with layers of smiles, and he said happily: "Han'er has grown up to be more beautiful than them!" ”

"Are you saying I'm ugly now?" Coldly asked.

"I don't know what others think, but it's the best in my eyes anyway!" Dongfang Sheng hurriedly replied.

The two of them are like this, you say a word, I say a word, and a long time is getting shorter and shorter in the conversation! It feels like it's just a moment away!
