Chapter 291: Strict Investigation
After Dingguo Gong went down, Xiao Chenghan stood up and walked to the window, looked at the moonlight outside and sighed.
He had long seen that the fourth child cared too much about An Lehou, which was not a good thing for a future king of a country.
He also wants his son to have a confidant with him, but as an emperor, he can't be swayed by the love between men and women, and he must always be sober, which is the blessing of the country.
His future throne will be passed to the fourth child, so in the future, the fourth child will not have only one woman, even if it is for the sake of the royal heirs, the harem must be widely accepted, so that it can spread out.
When he gave his son a marriage, he thought of several candidates for his son's side concubine. He wants more women to distract his son from An Lehou. An Lehou is too strong to let An Lehou pinch his son.
Fortunately, An Lehou is not a big family behind him, and there will be no risk of relatives interfering in politics.
He understands that his son will definitely not take the initiative to accept other women, so he will be the one who will do the good of this wicked man.
Besides, the family behind the woman he chose for his son must be able to support his son, and he can consolidate his son's imperial power in the future. This advantage is gone.
Xiao Chenghan thought that in addition to the daughter of the Dingguo family, the daughter of Xu Shangshu's family is also quite famous, gentle and virtuous, and it is not bad to be a side concubine for his son in the future. There are also several daughters of the right age who are on his radar.
This night was a sleepless night for many families in the capital. The family went to the palace for a banquet but couldn't come back, and was controlled by the Royal Forest Army.
The palace was even more panicked. Concubine Yan Shu of Yongning Palace was even more frightened.
She didn't expect that she just sent someone to give an aphrodisiac to the fourth child and Shao Yichen, which caused such a big movement. She still underestimated the status of the fourth child in the heart of the saint.
This night was also a sleepless night for Xiao Yilin and Jing Yi, and when it was almost dawn, Jing Yi couldn't support it and fell asleep, and Xiao Yilin then fell asleep.
When the two woke up, it was already afternoon.
Xiao Yilin woke up first and saw his fiancée beside him, and recalled yesterday's scene for a long time. He knew that the little girl was trying to save him, but in this case, he inevitably felt a little guilty that they were husband and wife, he should have given her the best, but let her suffer such a grievance.
He remembered Lu Zhilan's behavior yesterday, his eyes were cold, no matter what Lu Zhilan was for, he would not let her go.
Xiao Yilin looked down at the little girl who was still sleeping in his arms, and felt even more guilty when he saw the bruises and purple marks on her body that had been made by himself. Yesterday he was dominated by the effects of the drug, and it was inevitable that he would go a little too far.
Xiao Yilin found out that this was where he lived in the palace before, and now it was winter, and there were no braziers and other heating things in this room, so it was still very cold in the room.
Jing Yi, who was still asleep, unconsciously leaned towards Xiao Yilin, the heat source next to her, because of the cold.
Xiao Yilin was afraid of freezing the person and wrapped the two of them tightly with the quilt, so he hugged the person in his arms again.
Xiao Yilin thought that since they already had a husband and wife, the wedding should be done as soon as possible.
Xiao Yilin thought about who could poison him and Shao Yichen at the palace banquet yesterday. This person who can start the palace banquet undoubtedly has a very strong power in the palace, and his father must be very angry when he knows it. I don't know if my father can find out who is behind the scenes.
Xiao Chenghan is indeed very angry, this is in the palace, someone can poison him unconsciously, if he is poisoned, then he is not in danger of dying at any time?
If one day the mastermind behind the scenes wants to take his place, then he really can't guard against it.
Therefore, Xiao Chenghan was really ruthless this time, and Han Li lived up to his expectations, and found out the person behind it, Yan Shufei, through rubbing and interrogating.
When Xiao Chenghan learned the results of Han Li's investigation, he was furious, and directly ordered people to arrest everyone up and down the Yongning Palace.
After interrogating the palace maids, grandmothers and other palace people in Yongning Palace around Concubine Yan Shu, many things were interrogated, including many dirty things that Concubine Yan had done before.
Xiao Chenghan didn't expect Concubine Yan Shu, who usually looked at the gentle and virtuous concubine
is so vicious, and has done so many evil things behind his back. Even the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion was involved in a lot of things.
Xiao Chenghan did not have a trace of appeasement, and immediately ordered someone to arrest the people of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and seal the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. The people of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion were all imprisoned overnight, which made the families in the capital panic.
Jing Yi felt that there was a big stove next to her, which made people want to get closer. She was sore, exhausted and wanted to sleep, but her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
That's right, Jing Yi was woken up by hunger, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yilin's enlarged face.
As soon as Jing Yi moved, Xiao Yilin noticed it, looked down at the little girl and opened her misty eyes.
Xiao Yilin's eyes were full of gentleness and indulgence, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Awake?"
Jing Yi also remembered what happened yesterday, and the current situation of the two people made her cheeks crimson, "What time is it, it's not good for us to stay in the palace for a long time, let's go home early."
Xiao Yilin touched Jingyi's hair, "Okay, I'll ask Han Qi to bring the clothes in, and we'll go home early." This room hasn't been inhabited for a long time, and it's a little cold, so it's better to go back to our own house."
Xiao Yilin pulled a rope at the head of the bed, and soon Han Qi pushed the door in, lowered his head and put a tray on the chair at the head of the bed and said, "Lord Wang, you and the princess's clothes have been brought, and the small one is waiting outside, you have something to call the small one." In addition, His Majesty instructed that you and the princess can go back to the palace to rest after getting up, and then enter the palace after resting."
Xiao Yilin pulled a crack in the bed curtain and said, "Well, you guard outside first, and after we get up, we will leave the palace and go home."
Xiao Yilin brought the clothes of the two people, but Jingyi's clothes were a set of palace clothes.
Xiao Yilin exposed his naked and strong upper body together, Jing Yi blushed and quickly pulled up the quilt to cover his face.
Xiao Yilin laughed softly at the little girl's shy behavior, and then quickly got dressed.
Xiao Yilin got dressed and said, "Jingyan, I'm ready, I'll put your clothes next to the bed, you can get up and put them on." I'll turn my back, and you'll put it on."
Saying that, Xiao Yilin also lowered the bed curtain, leaving only a gap.
They had always been the norm even if they liked each other before, but after last night, they were already the closest people. It's just that I'm still a little unaccustomed to this sudden change.
Jing Yi lifted the quilt and turned her head with a red face, seeing that her clothes turned out to be a set of women's clothes. But now everyone knows that she is a daughter, and it doesn't matter if she wears women's clothes.
