Prince Changyang watched them leave and said, "This kid seems to be more difficult to get along with than before."

"How can he feel good until the Qian family's crimes are cleared?" Old Chen held the cup. "Back then, he risked his life to obtain the booklet, presented it to that person, and the matter was left unresolved. Now that there is a witness, how can he remain silent?"

"What booklet?"

"A list of Beili officials who framed the Qian family and were involved."

"How many officials from Beili are involved?"

"Twenty-three."

"really?"

"Although Qian Fu is the prime minister, the power he holds is feared by everyone in the court. Qian Fu is also a righteous man who is unyielding and has long been targeted by many people. If one person tears off a piece of his flesh, it would be enough to kill him."

Prince Changyang was silent for a moment, then slammed the table and stood up. "Twenty-three people, there are actually twenty-three people. No wonder the court has become so corrupt in just ten years."

During the Qian family incident, the emperor executed all members of the Qian family. Afterwards, Qian Fu was guaranteed by the Buddhists and the Qian family lineage was saved.

In the following years, Qian Fanji entered the court and wanted to overturn the verdict. The emperor did punish three or five officials in the name of the Qian family.

He never imagined that he had secretly colluded with so many officials. If these officials were still in the court, what positions would they hold?

“Since ancient times, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear, and the most frightening thing is when there is no argument.”

Old Chen didn't need to understand, as he didn't see many familiar figures among the officials today.

Xiang Minghou snorted lightly.

Prince Changyang's face was very bad. He suppressed his anger and sat down: "Mr. Chen, will you leave Beili this time?"

"I came to Beili this time just to find out one thing."

"What's up?"

"Zhang Rui died tragically in the capital a few months ago."

Prince Changyang was shocked again: "When did Master Zhang return to the capital?"

"I don't know the cause of the incident yet. Zhang Rui grew up by my side, and I will get to the bottom of his death."

"Leave this matter to me. If the incident happens in the capital, I will definitely give Old Chen an explanation." Prince Changyang said, looking towards Marquis Ming: "Marquis Xiang Ming, what is your purpose?"

"Your Highness should ask the Northern Emperor." Xiang Minghou added coldly, "It was his gracious invitation. I also want to ask, what is the royal family's purpose?"

When asked this question, Prince Changyang was speechless.

Emperor Beili loves to amass wealth, and he asked for help from Penglai Fairy Mountain. Ye Qianning returned alive with Fengling Horn, so how could Emperor Beili miss it?

Prince Changyang was not sure whether they had deliberately released the news or whether they really were in possession of the treasure.

Xiang Minghou: "Your Highness, why are you so anxious? Just wait and see."

Prince Changyang's brows gathered a strange expression: "If there is any trouble in the capital, please send someone to the Prince Changyang's Mansion. I will definitely help if I can."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Prince Changyang raised his hand, picked up the teacup on the table and drank it all, then stood up and bowed to Old Chen to say goodbye.

——

Beili Imperial Palace.

After Emperor Beili returned to the palace, he immediately wrote an edict to revoke the princess status of the fifth princess Sang Shu and completely erase her from the royal family tree.

The royal family will never accept such a princess again.

According to the ancestral precepts of the Northern Li Dynasty, anyone who is removed from the family tree will no longer be included in the royal family and will no longer appear in the royal family ranking.

After Sang Shu was removed from the list, all the princesses of Beili were promoted to the next level. The title of the fifth princess fell on Sang Zhen, who inexplicably became the fifth in the royal family.

As soon as the news came out, the harem was in an uproar, and everyone secretly mocked the unlucky position of the fifth princess. (End of this chapter)
