Lin Wanyue suddenly suggested, "Hey Dad, if you have time, come with me to the Second Prince's residence."

"What? You doubt him?" Lin Yanping asked.

"..." Lin Wanyue thought for a while before answering: "Actually, it's not that I suspect him, it's just that I saw him last time and thought his appearance was quite strange."

"What do you mean?" Lin Yanping was also intrigued by his daughter's words. In his original memories, apart from remembering that the Second Prince Qi Rong was an unreliable relative, he only remembered that this guy was greedy and lustful.

When he was only thirteen years old, he loved to lift up the skirts of the palace maids. It was because of this incident that he left the palace early to establish his own residence.

This is why he was seen as unreliable in the court and had little presence among the princes.

"I thought he was glib and flirtatious, not like a decent person, but his eyes were quite clear, so he didn't seem like a bad person. That's why I found it so strange and wanted to meet him and observe him up close." Lin Wanyue naturally remembered that when she saw the Second Prince at the palace banquet last time, she saw him drinking while flirting with the dancers. Even after the dancers left, he casually hooked up with a young palace maid who came to pour wine and held her hand, refusing to let go.

He certainly looks like a lecherous devil, as if he wants to touch anyone.

Lin Yanping said, "That's simple. My body has quite a connection with their family. If I were to pay them a visit, the Second Prince would naturally have no choice but to accept."

"There's no time like the present. We have some free time today, so why don't we go and take a look? If he really has something up his sleeve, we can catch him off guard."

"Dad, what if I'm wrong?" Lin Wanyue didn't entirely believe that the Second Prince was the mastermind, but he was being cautious. Since he found this person rather strange, he wanted to take a closer look.

Lin Yanping laughed and said, "That's simple. Just think of it as me, as an elder, advising him and visiting a junior. He should be flattered."

"Oh~" Lin Wanyue nodded, thinking that her father's health was really good. He held a high position and was of a higher generation than the emperor and Qi Sichen.

The two acted immediately, getting into Lin Yanping's carriage and heading straight to the Second Prince's residence.

When the servants of the Second Prince's residence saw the old prime minister come to visit in person, accompanied by the little princess, they were extremely curious, but dared not stop him and quickly welcomed him in.

"Your Excellency, my lord has not yet returned today. I have already informed the Second Princess. Please wait here for a moment." The servants respectfully served tea and snacks, and sent someone to the backyard.

The Second Prince Qi Rong is actually a lecherous devil. Now that he is twenty years old, he has naturally already married a royal concubine.

Besides the imperial concubine, who was the daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice, there were three other beautiful concubines in his backyard. They were all of ordinary status and background, but they were beautiful. Although they were of humble origin, they were from respectable families.

Unfortunately, although Qi Rong had these four beautiful wives and concubines, he still spent his days indulging in brothels and attracted the attention of countless courtesans.

Fortunately, the Second Princess Consort was, after all, the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Although she was a wealthy young lady, she was not the kind of delicate woman. In the end, she kept all the courtesans outside at bay. No matter how much fun Qi Rong had outside, she did not allow him to bring them into the mansion.

Otherwise, the Second Prince's residence wouldn't just have three beautiful concubines; there probably wouldn't be enough room for them all.

The Second Prince's Consort was surprised to learn of Lin Yanping and the Little Princess's sudden visit from the backyard. Wondering what it was for, she quickly dressed up and came out to greet them.

"Prime Minister, what brings you here? This must be Princess Wanyue, the Imperial Uncle's goddaughter, right? I only caught a glimpse of her from afar when we were in the palace. Now, by chance, I finally understand what it means to be a dragon princess descended to earth. She is so adorable." The Second Prince's wife didn't make any preparations. She simply took a gold hairpin from her hair and put it in Lin Wanyue's hand as a greeting gift.

Lin Wanyue accepted the gifts and immediately put on her signature sweet smile, saying in a crisp voice, "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law!"

"Princess Wanyue is truly clever and adorable," the Second Prince's wife coaxed her before turning to Lin Yanping. "But may I ask, Your Excellency Prime Minister, what brings you here today?"

“Wanwan entered the palace a few days ago and met Consort Ye. She mentioned that the Consort Ye was lonely living in the palace. I thought of Qi Rong and wanted to come and see him so that Wanwan could tell Consort Ye after she entered the palace and that she wouldn’t worry. I just didn’t expect that I came at the wrong time; he wasn’t home.” Lin Yan’s face was flat, and he looked no different from when he was in court.

The Second Prince's wife made up an excuse, saying she was visiting a friend, but when she came over in private, she had already sent people to look for him at the brothels he frequented.

The Second Prince's wife chatted with Lin Wanyue and Lin Yanping for a while, her face stiff from smiling, but there was still no movement from the Second Prince's side.

"..." The Second Prince's wife gritted her teeth in anger, but she couldn't lash out in front of Lin Yanping and the others, so she made an excuse to go outside and said to the servants who had long faces, "Why haven't you found him yet? Didn't I tell you that Prime Minister Lin has come?"

"But Your Highness, we've searched all those brothels, but we still haven't found him. We've even sent people to places further away, but we haven't received any news yet," the servants explained, bowing their heads.

The Second Prince's Consort gritted her teeth and said, "If he's not in those brothels, have you searched the pleasure boats and hidden doors? Even if you can't find him, your prince should at least ask his cronies where they frequent. Do I have to teach him these things? Go and find him for me right now!"

"Yes, yes..." The servant, having received the order, quickly ran out.

The Second Prince's wife was in a bad mood. She had been chatting with Lin Yanping and the others for a while, but she still couldn't find out why the two of them had suddenly come over.

Surely they couldn't have come to see the Second Prince just out of concern for their relatives?

The Second Prince's wife believed that given Qi Rong's unpopularity in the court, she didn't have that much influence.

It should be noted that the old Prime Minister Lin Yanping was a veteran official of three reigns, holding a superior position. He was also the only person in the court who could keep the powerful regent in check.

Princess Lin Wanyue was the apple of the eye of the Emperor and Regent Qi Sichen, and was extremely spoiled.

There must be a reason why these two people came looking for someone at the same time!

But for this reason, she was unable to find out the answer, which was naturally frustrating.
