Chapter 193: Stripping the Vest



Xiao Lichen sat up straight and said sincerely, "Mom, no matter what you do, I support your decision."

Han Lingyun felt that the huge rock pressing on his heart had moved away a little.

She opened the study door without looking back and walked out with a relaxed mood.

The past is like smoke, and from now on, she will choose to live the life she wants.

Prince Yong was standing outside the door, but was stopped by Qingzhu and did not enter the study.

After arguing with Qingzhu for a few words, he didn't hear the previous words clearly. He only heard his princess and son telling them that they wanted to divorce him.

After hearing the word "divorce", Prince Yong lost all his mind.

"Han Lingyun, you can't leave without my permission."

He was so angry that his head felt dizzy and he left without looking back.

Han Lingyun walked towards the kitchen nonchalantly, not caring about her husband's attitude at all.

Sitting in the study, looking through the window at the scene outside, Xiao Lichen had no intention of caring.

He promised his mother that he would look for Xiao Yi, but he would never care what happened to his father.

Tao Yuwei didn't know yet that her trip to Prince Yong's Mansion had already let Xiao Lichen roughly know the misunderstanding between his parents.

However, the villain doesn't intend to care at all.

He just quietly watched his father commit suicide without realizing it.

night.

Xiao Lichen took his men to the prison and met again with the officials and people who had made mistakes before.

A lot of information was pried out from their mouths.

After coming out of the cell, he returned to his office and decided to organize the files, write the memorial, and submit it to the Imperial Study for Emperor Jianchang's approval.

It was at this time that the great general Tao Zhihong came over.

When both parties met, they were not the type to waste time talking.

"Prince Xiao, I received a message from the Northern Barbarians' envoys. King Junshan has been collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country for many years, secretly helping the Northern Barbarians."

He told Xiao Lichen in detail about his night visit to the northern barbarians.

He won't tell anyone about his daughter Tao Yuwei following him.

After listening, Xiao Lichen nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, General, I will personally investigate the matter of Prince Junshan. Once I have the evidence, I will personally present it to Your Majesty."

After receiving the answer, Tao Zhihong left satisfied.

Xiao Lichen sped up his work. After reading the files and writing the memorials, he did not plan to go back home to rest, but decided to work all night.

"Master, there's news from Hei Yan. He said he saw the Fourth Prince in the suburbs of Beijing. He escaped from the farmhouse where those people lived in the middle of the night and his whereabouts are unknown."

After hearing this, Xiao Lichen said indifferently, "Fourth Prince, don't worry about him for now. Tell Hei Yan to keep an eye on King Junshan."

Qingzhu bowed and replied to the message.

Xiao Lichen sat alone in a wheelchair, quietly thinking about the various information he had received, summarizing and sorting it out, and then making his own judgment.

In a farmhouse in the suburbs of Beijing.

King Junshan couldn't fall asleep because he thought about the message sent to him by the Left Prime Minister Wang Lingchang.

Whenever he thought of the treasure map, his excited mood could not calm down.

He had read about the treasure of the previous dynasty in a book in the royal library when he was a child.

At that time, he was still young, his father was seriously ill, and the late emperor of the Great Zhou, his eldest brother, was the regent.

He had nothing to do all day, so he would go to the library in the palace to read. Sometimes, he would read for the whole day.

Once, when he was looking for a travelogue recording mountains, rivers and streams, he accidentally found the records of the historians of the previous dynasty.

This record describes the daily life of the last emperor of the previous dynasty and what he did.

He saw something unusual in this record.

One page said that His Majesty was deeply disturbed by the unrest in the north of the Great Zhou, so he ordered some things to be taken away from the palace.

When he saw this, he immediately tore up the record.

At that time, the young Wang Lingchang was only responsible for teaching the young princes and princesses, and had not entered the cabinet.

It was also at that time that he became close to his teacher Wang Lingchang, and he told Wang Lingchang this secret.

Until later, when the previous emperor ascended the throne, ten years later, the Left Prime Minister entered the cabinet with his secret support and commanded the civil officials at the age of more than 30.

Wang Lingchang used the power in his hands to secretly investigate the treasures of the previous dynasty for many years.

According to the information handed over by the other party, the exact location of the treasure has been found.

The reason why he was willing to take the risk and go to Beijing this time was because he felt that the time was almost right and Wang Lingchang should have made some progress in his search for the treasure.

The person sent by Wang Lingchang has already met with him.

However, Wang Lingchang is now the left prime minister and cannot meet people casually, otherwise the news may leak out easily.

They agreed to meet in a secret place tomorrow night.

This was also the first time they met after he left Beijing for his fiefdom in Lingzhou many years ago.

He is looking forward to this meeting.

"Master, the Fourth Prince escaped at some point. He tied the person who delivered the food to the bed, which delayed my discovery."

Guard Fei Qiong came in the middle of the night to report the news.

This is not good news for King Junshan.

"Send out all the people you brought this time to search for him. Make sure to bring him back. If you've already alerted the enemy, don't leave him alive."

King Junshan was extremely upset when he thought about how the Fourth Prince Xiao Xiaocheng was raised into a waste by Concubine Huo.

Hearing his master's cold and ruthless words, Fei Qiong responded and left.

the next day.

Tao Yuwei lay in bed and refused to get up.

Even when her mother came to call her to go out and help her aunt prepare for the wedding of her eldest cousin and the third princess Xiao Daifu, she did not get up.
