While Jun Yan was still daydreaming and waiting for Jun Mu's military power to be taken back, Jun Mu, who was far away in Kangnan City, had already compiled all the evidence of Jun Yan's collusion with the enemy, and jointly wrote a letter with the generals guarding the border in the camp to impeach him.
In the final analysis, it was the southern barbarian leader who was more cautious.
Originally, those letters should have been destroyed the moment he received them, but he thought that if Jun Yan changed his mind after the matter was accomplished, he could still use the letters and keepsakes from these years to control him.
Collaborating with the enemy is definitely not a good reputation. No matter how much Jun Yan wants to break the agreement, he has to weigh the pros and cons again and again, otherwise he will not be able to sit firmly on the throne he has been dreaming of.
But he never expected that his painstaking planning would become someone else's wedding dress, and these things would become his evidence in court.

After being trapped in the mansion, Junze locked himself in the study.
Although Jun Ling did not order others not to visit him, he took the initiative to refuse those who came to visit him, including Xu Wenlang who wanted to help him ascend the throne.
In the study, Junze was sitting on the floor. His hair crown had fallen somewhere long ago, his hair was disheveled, and beside him was a pile of wine jars, filling the room with the smell of alcohol.
Junze hadn't slept for a whole day and night. He thought for a long time until his brain became numb and he couldn't hear anyone's voice. His mind was filled with his father's words, "The fight for the throne is not something you can stay out of and stay peacefully from."
Why can't we just live in peace?
Is that position so fascinating to them?
Junze thought about it and suddenly sneered: The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. Life is only a few decades long, so why not enjoy it while you can? Why ignore the family ties of all these years for the sake of the throne?
Outside, the snow continued to fall, and the yard was covered with a thick "white blanket". The guards outside the study suddenly knocked on the door and stepped inside: "Your Highness, Li Manqing, the daughter of Minister Li, wishes to see you."
"...No, let her go."
In the room, Jun Ze was silent for a long while, his tone was emotionless, cold and inhuman.
He couldn't let her get involved at this time.
The incident of Jun Yan falling into the water is still in the spotlight. If people knew that Li Manqing had a secret meeting with him at this time, and if his third brother, who was trying to take advantage of the situation, knew about it, he would probably take the opportunity to drag Li Shangshu and his family into the water as well.
He didn't want Li Manqing to suffer this injustice with him, and he had no idea how to escape.
His father's words were nothing more than forcing him to reveal his true strength, wanting him, the legitimate son, to fight for the throne that everyone fought for.
If he was unwilling, there would be only one result waiting for him: to die unjustly due to Jun Yan's calculations.
Jun Ze thought of the correspondence with Jun Mu many days ago, his hands tightened slightly, and he sneered: Forget it, just wait a few more days, he just hopes that his elder brother will not disappoint him.
After all, although he had no intention of taking the throne, he had never thought of using his life as a stepping stone for others to ascend the throne.
"Miss Li, I've brought your message. You've heard what His Highness said. Please don't embarrass us, Miss Li."
The guard looked at Li Manqing beside him with a respectful attitude, but there was something else in his mind.
He couldn't understand why the Third Prince's fiancée would come to see their prince at this time, but it was inappropriate. If the Third Prince knew about it after he woke up, he would inevitably misunderstand her, which would affect their relationship and make things difficult for his prince.
Li Manqing was not in a good mood at the moment. She even had an impulse to rush in regardless of everything, but she resisted it and turned to leave. At that moment, she suddenly realized something:
Did Jun Yan know from the beginning that she and Jun Ze had a past relationship?
Thinking of this, Li Manqing didn't dare to hesitate any longer and hurried back home.

In the inner house of Ning Mansion, there were several burning charcoal braziers in Ning Wan's room, which dispelled the severe winter chill, but the atmosphere in the room was indescribably weird.
The two maids serving Ning Wan were driven out of the room, leaving only Shen Jingwen and Ning Wan, staring at each other.
After a near-death experience, one of the two men lay in bed, blinking, looking a little dazed; while the other stood by the bed with a gloomy face, holding a bowl of steaming medicine in his hand, waiting, just one word away: "Da Lang, it's time to take the medicine."
Just when Ning Wan was still secretly thinking about it, Shen Jingwen finally spoke.
He said in a tough manner, his eyes dark and unclear: "Get up and take the medicine."
Ning Wan's body froze, and she looked at Shen Jingwen, who looked extremely bad. She didn't even dare to ask a question, and quickly struggled to sit up from the bed. Before she could reach out her hand, a spoonful of medicine was fed to her mouth.
Ning Wan glanced at the brown medicine soup and thought of candied fruit. Just as she raised her head, she lowered it again guiltily and swallowed the medicine in the spoon.
——"What's wrong with him?"
Xiao Qi thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the host was in a coma for a whole day and night and scared the hero."
Ning Wan: Huh? If that's the case, why does he look like he has a grudge against her but has to stay and take care of her? She didn't do anything excessive, did she?
Ning Wan reached out and held down Shen Jingwen's hand holding the spoon: "A Jing..."
Shen Jingwen remained calm, glanced at Wanwan who was trying to interfere with him, and put away the pity that was rising in his heart: "We can talk later if you have anything to say. Drink the medicine first."
Ning Wan's hands stiffened slightly, and the corners of her mouth twitched: If she didn't know that the bowl of medicine in front of her was non-toxic, it would be hard for her not to be suspicious based on Shen Jingwen's current attitude.
