Chapter 280: Grandfather's Wisdom

Pang Chun pursed his lips. He just wanted to recommend Prince Rui, but Princess Rui was indeed married from a general's mansion and even called Mu "mother".

"I don't know who to ask to investigate. Your Majesty, please make the decision."

Emperor Jingming looked at the people in the hall and said sternly, "Who is willing to investigate this matter?"

Some ministers, you look at me and I look at you.

He was hesitating whether to take on this hot potato. He originally thought it was just a matter of the General's Office, but now it involves Prince Jin and Prince Rui.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to investigate." Pei Tianci said. As the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, he had the obligation to get to the bottom of this matter.

"Okay, you and Prince Jin will investigate together," Emperor Jingming announced.

"Yes, I obey your order." Pei Tianci said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Prince Jin..." Pang Chun spoke up. He didn't expect that the Emperor would arrange Zhan Beiheng to investigate together. He was currently protecting the Princess of Jin.

That must be the Hujiang family.

"Prince Jin is upright and selfless. Do you think he will favor the Jiang family? I have also arranged for Pei Shaoqing, who is known to be impartial. Do you still not trust him?"

Emperor Jingming slowly turned the jade ring on his thumb, with a smile on his face as bright as spring breeze, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"I dare not. I believe in the emperor's decision." Pang Chun said respectfully with his head lowered. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he did not dare to say anything else.

The emperor is clearly partial to Prince Jin.

However, Pei Tianci was indeed fair and strict. He did not form cliques with the ministers in the court. He was only focused on doing his own job and did not get close to King Jin.

It seems that he is not biased.

"It's settled now, Prince Jin, you and Pei Shaoqing should investigate this matter together." Emperor Jingming looked at his son who was dressed in gorgeous black clothes.

"Your son will definitely get to the bottom of it!" Zhan Beiheng said seriously.

"Grandfather Emperor, we have to find out who exposed my mother!" Baoer said seriously with her pink face raised. This person must want to harm her mother.

Emperor Jingming looked at the three of them, all of whom were staring at him intently. "Investigate, you must investigate. Those who have the heart to be punished must not be forgiven."

"Grandfather is wise!"

Yoyo and Baoer said with smiling eyes that this was the purpose of their coming to complain to their father.

The bad guys must be found out!

Zhan Qingheng was so angry that he could not even finish his sentence. Before they could denounce Jiang Nanjiao, Zhan Beiheng came with his two children to complain, thus avoiding denunciation in an instant.

Damn it!

Such a good opportunity to deal with Jiang Nanjiao was missed!

However, there will be plenty of people to deal with her in the future.

He is very grateful to the person who exposed it.

He made many enemies for Jiang Nanjiao.

Now he hopes that the Mu family is a spy, and even more that someone in the Jiang family is an accomplice, so that he can suppress the Jiang family. Anyway, they cannot be used by him.

Keeping the Jiang family will cause trouble in the future.

They will definitely stand on the side of the prince and Zhan Beiheng.

"If there is nothing else, let's leave the court." Emperor Jingming said, and then waved to Youyou Baoer, motioning them to come over.

"Just play in the palace. Your father has something to do and will come to pick you up later." Zhan Beiheng whispered. His father and grandfather must miss them very much.

Yoyo Baoer nodded and ran happily towards Emperor Jingming with his short legs.

Emperor Jingming stood up and walked towards them, then left through the side door, holding one in each hand, talking and laughing.

Zhan Qingheng snorted in his heart. When his child was born, his father would no longer only favor those two little brats. He glanced at Zhan Beiheng and left quickly.

Zhan Beiheng left the Golden Palace and went to the East Palace first.

Zhan Yeyuan did not go to court today because he had caught a cold and was feeling unwell. After hearing what happened at the morning court, he coughed violently a few times.

"Brother, are you okay?" Zhan Beiheng frowned. He just found out that he was sick.

"It's okay. I just caught a cold. The doctor prescribed some medicine for me." Zhan Yeyuan waved his hands. He was careless and thought he was well, so he didn't pay attention for a while.

But I still couldn't stand the cold.

"Let Nan Jiao come over to see you later." Zhan Beiheng said. He only believed in her medical skills now.

Zhan Yeyuan glanced at him and said with a light smile, "Alright."

He was afraid that he would not agree.

He will always worry.

"Prime Minister Pang and his men will not miss any opportunity to attack you. The fact that Nan Jiao is the leader of Shura Sect will not cause any trouble. Now it's the Mu family's problem." He said solemnly.

If Mu is a spy.

Even if the Jiang family was not involved, they would definitely be implicated. After all, a spy had lived in the general's mansion for more than ten years, and no one knew what kind of intelligence he had sent out.

If the emperor does not punish, it will be difficult to convince the people.

Zhan Beiheng's cold eyes seemed to be covered by ice and snow. He could hear what his elder brother meant, "Father is a wise ruler. Even if he punishes me, it shouldn't be too severe, right?"

Zhan Yeyuan said: "You and Pei Tianci should find out the truth about this as soon as possible."

"Okay." Zhan Beiheng nodded.

At this time, Feng walked in gently holding the medicine bowl, and Zhan Beiheng stood up and said goodbye.

"Your Highness, it's time to take your medicine." Feng gently placed the medicine bowl in front of him with a blank expression. She was angry, angry that he made her sick.

She specifically warned him not to catch a cold, but he still caught a cold.

Zhan Yeyuan picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. His brows suddenly furrowed. He hadn't drunk such bitter medicine for a long time. His mouth was full of bitterness.

"No preserves today?"

"No." Feng said softly and cruelly. She had deliberately not prepared it and she knew that the medicine was very bitter, just to teach him a lesson.

"It's very bitter." Zhan Yeyuan looked at her and said. The woman's soft face was puffed up, and it seemed that she deliberately did not prepare candied fruit for him.

Feng bit her red lips lightly and said with courage: "Your Highness, do you know you are wrong now?"

Zhan Yeyuan looked at her gently, and said in a charming voice, "I know I was wrong. From now on, I will listen to the Crown Princess' instructions and will never act recklessly."

Feng Qingqing's ears felt a little hot because of his words, "I am not asking Your Highness to listen to me, Your Highness should take care of your body."

He had finally managed to get his health back on track, but once he caught a cold, his face turned pale and he looked sick.

"I'll be more careful next time." Zhan Yeyuan assured her.

"Here you go." Feng gently took out a small paper bag from his sleeve pocket.

Zhan Yeyuan reached out and took it.

It was a packaging he was familiar with.

"I asked someone to buy it from the store that Your Highness likes. You can eat it without worry. I'll take my leave now." Feng said softly and left quickly with the bowl in her hand.

Zhan Yeyuan looked at the woman's fast back, with a tender and affectionate smile on his face, and the light in his eyes was as bright as stars.

…

Dacheng Temple.

Nan Jiao led people to search the temple carefully. They checked all the places where people could hide. They still had to look for any secret rooms in detail.

"You guys continue looking in the temple, I'll go take a look nearby." Nan Jiao said to Mo Ran and the others.

"Yes, Princess." Mo Ran replied. Mo Lan would follow the princess, and since the princess was the leader of Shura Sect, it was estimated that few people could hurt her.

Nan Jiao and Mo Lan had just walked out of the temple gate when they saw Zhan Beiheng getting off the carriage.

She walked quickly toward him.

I don’t know what the morning court session is like.

When Zhan Beiheng saw her coming, he hugged her in his arms.

Nan Jiao smiled and joked, "Don't you think you are not interested in women?"

"Only you can make me break my vow." Zhan Beiheng said seriously.

Nan Jiao admitted that she found this very helpful. "Did you succeed in filing a complaint?"

Zhan Beiheng nodded and told her about Zhan Qingheng and Pang Xiang's condemnation of her in the morning court. "Another important thing happened."

Nan Jiao blinked, "What's the important thing?"

"Father suspects that the Mu family might be spies, and this matter might involve the Jiang family." Zhan Beiheng said solemnly, with a low pressure surrounding him.
