Wan Ge was somewhat surprised. Xuan Yi only knew? Did the emperor tell him, or did he guess on his own?
"Does Brother Xuan Yi really think my father is innocent?" Wan Ge asked softly again.
Xuan Yi nodded: "General Jian grew up with my father since childhood, and later followed the old general to the battlefield, protecting us for decades. Naturally, I trust him."
However, the charge of treason is too serious, so it must be thoroughly investigated. Isn't that why General Jian hasn't been tried yet?
I believe that even if something went wrong, it would never be because General Jian betrayed the country. At most, Father Emperor would blame him for lax discipline, which allowed a spy to infiltrate.
Of course, if the spy was deliberately planted, then Father Emperor certainly wouldn't blame him.
Wan Ge nodded: "Thank you, Your Highness."
"You don't need to worry so much, just wait patiently." Presumably, after Father King has dealt with everything, he will not only not blame you, but will also reward General Jian handsomely, and of course, the person he likes.

The day before the scouts from the frontier returned, Xuan Yi went to court as usual, and when he came down from court, he met Xuan Yu.
Xuan Yu stood in front of Xuan Yi and slowly said, "The spies will send back news tomorrow. I advise you to stay away from that woman. Whoever gets close to her will be unlucky."
Xuan Yi snorted coldly and slowly replied, "She saved my life. How much more unlucky could I be if I stood with her? On the contrary, she finally got rid of a heartless scum like you."
How can you say that about me?
Xuan Yi laughed and looked at him, asking, "Why can't I? What are you? You were born to a lowly servant. Just like your despicable mother, you'll stop at nothing to achieve your goals. Not only do you kill your own siblings, but you also turn a blind eye to the imperial concubine who raised you."
"What nonsense is Your Majesty spouting!" Xuan Yu instantly felt a cold sweat pour down his back.
Xuan Yi glanced at him indifferently: "Don't you know very well what I'm talking about? You're afraid of others finding out what you've done. What do you think Father Emperor would do if he found out?"
"You have no evidence!" He did it so cleanly, how could anyone possibly know?
Xuan Yi spoke with a mocking look in his eyes: "So you think I'm just making baseless guesses? Then guess why I'm so sure it's you."
As the Crown Prince, Xuan Yi had done many things and made many enemies, so it's not surprising that he was assassinated. But why was Xuan Yu suspected so precisely? There was no prior conflict between them, and apart from the fact that both were considered outstanding among the princes, it was hard to imagine that it would be him. There must have been evidence to lead to the suspicion.
Xuan Yu's mind was a little confused, but he was ultimately a man destined for great things, and he quickly calmed down: "If you have any evidence, just hand it over to Father."
"Alright, then I will hand it over to Father tomorrow." After saying this, Xuan Yi prepared to leave.
At this moment, Xuan Yu called out to him again: "Wait a minute."
Xuan Yi turned and glanced at him: "Third brother, is there anything else you would like to instruct me on?"
"What do you want?" Xuan Yu ultimately dared not gamble, dared not gamble that he had really left himself vulnerable. In recent years, he had finally caught his father's eye. If his father knew that he had harmed his own siblings, he would be worse off than before, let alone now.
However, he also believed that if the Crown Prince really had something on him but hadn't handed it over to his father, it must mean he wanted to do something with him.
