No one knows why His Majesty imprisoned him here, because His Majesty suspects that this place has also been infiltrated. As one of the most important institutions, if it has also been infiltrated, it is unimaginable how powerful the other party is.
However, based on their investigation at this stage, it's almost certain that this place has indeed been infiltrated. The good news is that they've made progress, and there's also good news elsewhere.
Don't ask him how he knew. Since he and His Majesty are doing this together, there must be some signal between them.
…
"By the way, daughter, His Highness the Crown Prince just said that you saved him. What happened?"
“I am currently living in the house left by my mother. On my way home, I met His Highness who was injured, so I took him back and gave him the life-saving pill that you gave me, Father.”
General Jian was somewhat surprised. When he gave the Life-Sustaining Pill to his daughter, he told her how precious it was. His daughter should not have any memory of His Highness, but she was still willing to give up such a precious thing for a stranger.
General Jian didn't know if he had protected his daughter too well or if he should worry about her being so naive, but he said, "If it can be given to Your Highness, then it is an honor for the Life-Sustaining Pill."
…
Wan Ge couldn't stay here for long, so she gave her father a few more instructions.
General Jian also told his daughter to protect herself, and at the same time, he pleaded with Xuan Yi to protect his daughter as well.
"Miss Jian is my savior, and I will protect her. General Jian, please rest assured."
"In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness." General Jian wanted to perform a grand salute to him, but before he could kneel down, Xuan Yi quickly helped him up.
"General, there's no need for that. This is what I should be doing anyway."
Upon hearing this, General Jian glanced at his daughter. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that there was something more between his daughter and His Highness.
But isn't my daughter engaged to the Third Prince? Perhaps it's just my imagination.
Wan Ge doesn't want to affect their plans right now, so she doesn't intend to tell General Jian about breaking off the engagement with the Third Prince.
Xuan Yi was aware of this matter and also did not intend to tell General Jian, lest he worry. Everything would be decided after the other party came out.
Xuan Yi believed that General Jian was innocent, and he guessed that his father believed so as well, but he did not know why his father had imprisoned him here.
Upon arriving here, he discovered that some of his father's men were among them, and that they were there to protect General Jian. So, what exactly did his father want to do?
Even though Xuan Yi had his suspicions, he still wanted to see how things went before he was sure. However, he was relieved to know that General Jian was alright, as he didn't want to see Wan Ge upset.
…
After leaving the prison, Xuan Yi spoke to Wan Ge in a deep, gentle voice: "Don't worry, I believe General Jian will be alright."
Wan Ge nodded, but the worry in her eyes remained.
After looking at General Jian, Xuan Yi gently kissed the person in front of him again: "I heard that the Imperial Concubine left the Cold Palace without permission yesterday. Shall I take you to see her?"
It's not easy to spot a potential criminal, but it's relatively simple to spot a concubine who's been sent to the cold palace. Xuan Yi doesn't even need to report to his father, the emperor.
Wan Ge recalled that in the original story, the original owner's aunt also met a tragic end, so she nodded in agreement.
