Chapter 508 Reciprocity

She was afraid that her family might have a change of heart and come directly to the capital to find her.

Ning Bao didn't want to delay, so she simply wrote a letter to Mu Cheng'an.

He subtly explained the situation in the capital to Mu Cheng'an.

Mu Cheng'an knew that his family had long planned to go to the capital at the end of the year.

After being persuaded by Mu Cheng'an, Mu Chunping gave up his idea of ​​going to the capital at the end of the year.

.................

I don't know what's wrong with Beijing lately. It seems like it's changed overnight, but at the same time, nothing seems to have changed.

With the Second Prince's return to court after being released from confinement, the situation in the capital became tense.

On the other side, Shen Muyang, who was almost in the capital, suddenly received an urgent secret letter. He could only take a deep look in the direction of the capital before leading his men to turn around and speed off in another direction.

Another major event occurred during the Second Prince's return to the capital:

General Xue's mansion has been exonerated!

The Xue family, whose home was raided and whose members were wiped out years ago, was exonerated, but a group of scapegoats followed.

The real mastermind behind the murders, Consort Liu and her entourage, only lost a few henchmen.

Upon returning to his post, Zhou Chengxing rushed into the main courtyard to find Ning Bao.

There weren't many servants in the house, and Ningbao would come over every morning to have breakfast with Su Jingshu.

When Zhou Chengxing arrived, the mother and daughter had just started eating breakfast. Upon seeing Zhou Chengxing, Su Jingshu quickly instructed the servants to bring bowls and chopsticks.

"Why are you here so early today? Let's sit down and have some more to eat."

Zhou Chengxing said while eating breakfast,

"Something happened at the morning court session today; the Xue family's case has been overturned."

"So fast?" Su Jingshu had always known about the Xue family's affairs, and even Zhou Chengxing hadn't expected it to happen so quickly.

"Perhaps the Emperor knew about his health condition, so he brought forward many things."

The imperial edict issued at the morning court session this day revealed Shen Junshan's identity, or perhaps the Emperor already knew. To be honest, I'm increasingly unable to understand our Emperor.

Ning Bao wasn't surprised, and calmly asked,

"Father, is my uncle going to regain his original status?"

Zhou Chengxing was stunned for a moment.

"Ningbao, do you know who they are?"

Shen Yuzhen suffered from amnesia due to childhood trauma and illness, so Ningbao shouldn't know about these things.

"Father, Mother, you know I can read faces."

The moment I met my uncle, I could tell he was no ordinary man. He had the golden aura of a military general protecting the country, though not as strong as that of Grandpa Zhou and my father, but it was still noticeable.

Dad, what do we do now?

My uncle's identity has been exposed, and my maternal grandfather's family has been exonerated. Does that mean they're going back to Beijing?

Zhou Chengxing nodded.

"Yes, the official who will go to Yunlu City to deliver the imperial decree and pick up the person has been selected and will depart tomorrow."

Some people might not want them to return to the capital, and the people who went to Yunlu City just happened to be from the Liu family.

Ningbao, my gyrfalcon is out delivering a message and I'm thinking of using yours to send a letter to your uncle, so he'll know what's going on.

Ning Bao immediately summoned a gyrfalcon and handed it to Zhou Chengxing.

Zhou Chengxing took the gyrfalcon and went to his study without delay. A short while later, the gyrfalcon flew out of the palace and soared into the sky…

Meanwhile, in a secluded courtyard not far from the Prince of Zhenbei's mansion, several men in black, carrying bows and arrows, saw the gyrfalcon fly out of the mansion and quickly took aim...

But before they could even draw their bows, the gyrfalcon had vanished.

Upon seeing this, the man in black quickly sent one of them to the Liu residence to report the news.

"What? You didn't take it down?"
