"The prince is very busy and has no time to see a commoner like you." The man looked at Zhongli Jinghui with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

A mere commoner wants the prince to condescend to see him?

I'm afraid I'm still dreaming!

"Okay, okay, now even you lackeys don't take me seriously, hehehe!!!"

Zhongli Jinghui sneered a few times, took a few more sips of wine, turned around and continued to walk forward while laughing and singing.

The man looked at his back and spat, "Your Highness spared me because he cared about our brotherly love. Even at this point, you're still putting on airs! Don't you even take a piss and look in the mirror to see how much you weigh?"

However, the smell of the wine really aroused his appetite, and he couldn't help but go out and ask the people outside to buy some wine and food for them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xie Siheng nodded at Ji Changying, and the two of them quickly left the garden under the cover of rockery and weeds. Ji Changying used his supernatural power to scan the entire yard, but still did not see the shadow of Ren Dongnan, and could not help but frowning.

Xie Siheng took her around in circles and finally arrived at the main courtyard. Hearing voices coming from the main hall, Xie Siheng tugged at Ji Changying's sleeve, and the two hid on the beam under the eaves.

"Brother Hui, what do you think? Lao Wu won't come to see you at all! Even his men now look down on you. You've been hiding the evidence of Lao Wu raising private soldiers. You might die here one day and no one will know! Why don't you give me the evidence? You didn't commit the treason in the first place. You took the blame for Lao Wu. Haven't you come to your senses yet?"

"Hasn't this been enough for you in the past six months? From being a pampered prince, to being stripped of your title and rank, reduced to a mere commoner. Even the imperial guards at the gate can come up and step on you, not to mention your younger brother and sister-in-law and my young nephew. Are you willing to let them live like this for the rest of their lives?"

Ji Changying extended his special ability inside and unexpectedly saw Prince Zhuang sitting on the main seat inside, trying to persuade Prince Duan with a sincere look.

When he heard about raising private soldiers, Ji Changying instantly thought of Wuhe Mountain.

Could it be that those private soldiers were not raised by Prince Duan?

But thinking about the Jiang Yucheng she killed, it seems that he is also a member of the Jiang family, and the Jiang family has a close relationship with King Xuan...

Zhongli Jinghui, who had looked a little crazy just now, now had clear eyes and a gloomy face. He sneered and did not agree: "You are not a good person either! To get me to this point, His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang was behind it."

"Sixth brother, what you said is wrong! The situation back then is different from now. If you were in my place, I would have made the same choice. I have no choice but to be in my position! But now, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Let's join forces..."

"I don't believe you." Zhongli Jinghui slumped back in his chair, looking depressed.

Seeing him like this, King Zhuang was not angry, but happy. After so many attempts, he finally convinced him!

"I see that my brother and sister-in-law have suffered a lot here. Their health has deteriorated a lot. They cough all night long and no one comes to treat them. Not only has my nephew neglected his studies, but now he has to wash clothes, cook, and take care of you. His hands are covered with chilblains at such a young age. It's heartbreaking to see him!"

"How about this! I'll quietly find two imperial doctors to come and see my sister-in-law tomorrow, and then I'll quietly arrange for two servants to come and take care of your daily life."

Zhongli Jinghui's expression changed again and again as King Zhuang spoke, and then he said expressionlessly, "Then it depends on your performance."

"What about the evidence..."

"I'll give it to you when my wife recovers."

King Zhuang hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll do it as soon as possible!"

The two of them were not in a relationship where they could have casual conversation, so they went their separate ways after talking.

Seeing Prince Zhuang leading his men out of the palace with familiarity, Zhongli Jinghui sneered: "How ridiculous! I've done this to one or two people, and they still won't let me go. Ha! My dignified Prince Duan's Mansion has now become a sieve!"

He was so angry that he pushed all the tables and chairs in the main room to the ground, and then returned to the backyard with a rage still lingering.

“Cough cough cough!!”

Duan's cough in the room made Zhongli Jinghui's face even uglier.

"Where did the master go just now?" Duan Shi didn't dare to go to bed because she couldn't see Zhongli Jinghui. When she saw him come back, she got up and helped Zhongli Jinghui undress.

"The fourth brother just came over and asked me to hand over the evidence in my hand to him."

Duan's face froze. "Absolutely not! This is our family's life-saving treasure! Once handed over, others will take action without any scruples. What's more, mother is still in the hands of Concubine Cui..."

Zhongli Jinghui's expression was complicated. He knew it too well, so he hid the complexity in his eyes and said, "I know. I will solve it."

——

Xie Siheng took Ji Changying back to a remote place and gestured for them to leave.

The two of them walked out of here one after the other. Ji Changying looked at him curiously: "How did you know we could get out from here?"

Xie Siheng paused and said, "It was me who led the men to raid Prince Duan's mansion. These imperial guards change shifts every four hours. This is the weakest spot. As long as we move quickly enough, they won't be able to find us."

I see.

"How could Huangjue Temple lead to Prince Duan's Mansion, and it's in such a secluded place? Could it be that people from Huangjue Temple were also involved in Prince Duan's rebellion?"

The key point is how did her master know!

"Let's get out of here first!"

Xie Siheng took her all the way to the Criminal Investigation Department, and it was not until they sat in the living room of the Criminal Investigation Department that Ji Changying reacted.

Why did she follow here?

She should go home!

Just as she thought of this, she touched a cup of hot tea in her hand. Xie Siheng handed it to her, "The queen is ill. You should go to the palace to see her."

Ji Changying paused while drinking tea: "What's wrong, Madam?"

"The person who replaced your mother back then has been found out. It was Lai Ma, the one she trusted the most."

Xie Siheng had never expected that Nanny Lai, who had once cared so much about them, was actually the culprit.

"Why did she replace my mother?"

"She must have been instructed by someone, but she refused to reveal who it was, and the Queen wanted to spare her life..."

Ying Er ran in at this moment: "Prince!"

Seeing Ji Changying here, he grinned: "The princess is here too? What a coincidence!"

"What's up?"

"Oh, it's Aunt Lai! You said to spare her life, so we were very careful when we did it. But we didn't expect her to be in such poor health. We just grilled her a few times and sliced ​​off a few pieces of meat, and she fainted."

Xie Siheng frowned: "Why don't you go find a doctor right away?"
