Lin Fujian laughed instead: "Qu Shidu is blinded by one thing..."

He glanced around and saw that there was no one around, so he said bluntly: "You only saw that he lost one piece, didn't you think that this piece was already useless?"

Qu Sinian was slightly stunned.

He understood what he meant almost immediately.

Indeed, in this matter, even if Prince Chun could get away with it, Earl Guangcheng would definitely not be able to get away with it.

It was precisely because of this that he instinctively thought that it was Lin Fujian who did it.

But according to Lin Fujian's opinion, when Guangcheng Bo was in the palace, he was disliked by his superiors because of the matter of his daughter, and Yan Shiyue remembered it, so he was already a useless son. Since he was already a useless son, he might as well make full use of him.

Qu Sinian's expression darkened.

Even if he didn't want to believe it, this kind of behavior was indeed in line with Jin Heqiao's usual style.

Moreover, to set up this scheme, one must have a very good understanding of Prince Chun's Mansion, Prince Chun's temperament, the Guangcheng Marquis' Mansion, and especially the little boy Tong'er. One must also have the opportunity to set up this scheme so ingeniously, with each link interconnected, yet without getting involved.

...

...

This was indeed difficult for Lin Fujian, who came from a poor family and was a political enemy.

But this move was too despicable. If there was any chance, I would not want to associate with such a person.

Qu Sinian's face was as gloomy as water, and after a while he said, "Then Lord Lin asked me to do something, what can I do for you?"

Lin Fujian said leisurely: "I just feel that Qu Shidu was deceived too pitifully."

"What's the meaning?"

Lin Fujian said calmly, "Ask yourself, is he a person who will take care of his subordinates' families? Have you ever thought about why your biological father died so strangely? So suddenly?"

Qu Sinian's face changed: "You, what do you mean?"

Lin Fujian said: "Qu Shidu is a smart man. If you calm down and think about it carefully, you will understand why."

He leaned slightly closer and whispered, "It's not too late to wake up from a dream. If you want to help Huo Nan... I'm always at your service." He looked at him, smiled, bowed and left.

At this time, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince had already gone to the Censorate.

The Fourth Prince liked to do everything himself, listening to the entire trial and even interrogating the case himself, even women were no exception.

Although Princess Chun suffered from princess syndrome, she was not stupid. She just cried the whole time, saying that she knew nothing and was just jealous in her boudoir. She was jealous that His Highness Fu Yan was working on official business with Prince Chun, so she said a few words to her in private... As for what the servants did, she had no idea.

Zhao Xiangning also cried and said weakly that she had only complained to her half-brother and had no idea that such a thing would happen.

The prince and his companion spent a lot of time on these two women and were completely exhausted.

If it weren't for the fact that he hasn't been convicted, it would be difficult to torture him. I would really like to put him in the tongs.

The Guangcheng Marquis and his wife and Prince Chun were much more normal, but they were indeed very confused and were completely being used.

In comparison, the little boy Tong'er is more scheming than his age.

He could even be considered calm, as he explained how he "knew" that Yan Shiyue had harmed his sister, how the nanny beside him told him and when and where to lure her into the water, how he avoided the people who were following him, and why he brought a dagger.

This matter is actually not a big deal, just trivial.

And because Yan Shiyue was involved, the two of them actually interrogated the case for two days.

During these two days, Huo Qijing repeatedly requested to enter the palace, but Yan Shiyue spent most of the time in a coma and did not even open her eyes to look at him.

The queen didn't say much from beginning to end.

She is a wise person and she knows that in such matters, one cannot persuade or suppress others.

Moreover, what Yan Shiyue wanted was definitely not for him to marry her under threat, so she would be the first one to disagree.

Meng Min also went to the palace every day. She really wanted to persuade him, but the queen had advised her in advance. Meng Min held it in until the end and said, "Yuer is very proud. She has woken up. Don't quarrel with her. Talk to her nicely."

Huo Qijing responded in a low voice.

He looked at her quietly.

Her face was pale, even her lips were bloodless, but her features looked even more beautiful. As she lay quietly with her eyes closed, she was completely different from the usual lively young lady.

He raised his hand gently and touched her face.

The corners of Meng Min's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something, but he held it back, then he stood up and walked out.

Huo Qijing then leaned over, gently supported her back, held her in his arms, and whispered, "Ayue, I will marry you. We will be together forever."

He walked for a long time before Yan Shiyue slowly opened his eyes.

She didn't know if she was too sensitive, but anyway... she felt uncomfortable.

The words that come out of your mouth are the most truthful. What’s the difference between “I will marry you” and “I will be responsible”?

I want to marry you, I will marry you, one is because my heart yearns for it, the other is because it is my responsibility.

She feels unwell.

Intellectually, she understood that in this era, it was rare to find someone to be with for the rest of your life. She couldn't ask him not to consider continuing the family line, especially in the Huo family's situation. In his opinion, continuing the family line was a very important responsibility that he had to fulfill.

She doesn't like putting love first and ignoring responsibility.

But emotionally, she is still a modern person who supports egalitarianism. It is not her fault that she cannot have children. She is not wrong, and she should not endure any disgust or reluctance.

She sighed silently and closed her eyes.

She didn't want to think about this problem now, she would wait until she had the strength to do so.

Around noon, Emperor Ming Yan came over.

He has been reviewing memorials outside these two days, and spends most of the day here.

Yan Shiyue was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk to anyone. She just closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, listening to their voices.

After a while, the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince came in to report.

Yan Shiyue listened for a while, and finally couldn't help it, and opened his eyes: "I want to see!"

It even startled the Fourth Prince who was standing nearby: "Hey, why are you talking all of a sudden?"

"I'm not dead, why can't I speak?" She choked as soon as she opened her mouth, but unfortunately her voice was so weak that it sounded like she was just acting like a spoiled child.

Then she repeated: "I want to see the confession!"

Emperor Mingyan snorted, "Are you not pretending to be dead?" He waved his hand, "Let her see!"

She didn't want to get up, so someone held the confession in front of her and asked her to read it.

Yan Shiyue looked at them one by one and snorted.

Emperor Mingyan said, "What are you humming? If you have any opinion, just say it!"

Yan Shiyue wanted to sit up.

Emperor Mingyan said, "Let's put it this way! You have been ignorant of etiquette for a long time."

"No," she said, "This is not impressive!"

Emperor Ming Yan glared at her.

Someone came forward, pulled her up, and propped her up with pillows. Yan Shiyue sat up straight and said, "I have been thinking about this question for the past two days. I wonder what good it would be for them if I died. I couldn't figure it out, but now, I figured it out all of a sudden."
