The Prince Huan's Mansion, located at the northernmost part of the capital, has fallen into disrepair and no trace of its former prosperity can be seen.
Shi Yan, dressed in casual clothes, pushed open the door.
"Is anyone there?"
He called out several times, but no one answered, so he thought of going in to check.
An old man limped down the corridor.
He looked like a servant of the Prince Huan's Mansion?
"Are you the housekeeper?"
The old man looked at Shi Yan, but did not answer, and went to close the door.
He was sitting on the steps putting dog food for a big yellow dog next to him.
Shi Yan sat down, pretending to be out of breath and said, "I'm tired from walking, and I wanted to come in to ask for a drink of water. Sorry to bother you."
The old man pointed to the teapot on the steps next to him, and Shi Yan went over and poured a bowl of water.
"I heard that Prince Huan's Mansion used to be the most elegant and wealthy mansion in the capital, but now it doesn't look like that at all."
After talking a lot, the old man finally stopped rejecting it.
"A family of three died tragically, all died overnight."
Shi Yan asked hurriedly, "Even the young master died?"
The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "That night, the palace received an imperial decree saying that the prince had been sentenced to death for rebellion. The princess couldn't bear it and fainted."
"It was hard to accept. The young master was less than one year old at that time, right?"
"Who says it's not true?"
Shi Yan tried, "If someone came to persuade the princess, maybe she wouldn't be so upset. Didn't any brothers and sisters come to see her that night?"
He wanted to confirm whether someone took the young master out of the mansion that night.
"Prime Minister Pei came to persuade her for a long time, and the Empress in the palace also sent people to persuade her, but the princess still resolutely followed the prince. The fire broke out that night and burned all night long."
"Didn't Prime Minister Pei take the child out? He is the young master's uncle, how could he come out alone?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I didn't see the Prime Minister holding the child when he left the palace."
Shi Yan wondered, how did the child get out?
"Did anyone else leave the palace that night?"
"That night there was chaos. The people in the palace were afraid that the prince would be convicted and His Majesty would search the palace, so the servants all ran away."
Shi Yan wanted to fight back and asked, "The young prince must be very cute. Does he have any birthmark?"
"The young prince is very handsome. The princess also said that he looks very similar to the current crown prince. As for the birthmark... it seems that the young prince has a birthmark on his neck."
Shi Yan clenched his fist. The one in the palace must be the son of King Huan.
The next day, at noon, the sunlight was so bright that it was difficult to open one's eyes.
Shi Yan got the news that the fake prince had gone to the parade ground.
He was moved and went there in person.
Shi Jun was engaging in a fierce wrestling training with several guards. His posture was strong and his movements were sharp, showing his great strength.
Shi Yan walked forward without hesitation and joined the fight.
Seeing this, the other guards retreated one after another, leaving the two to confront each other alone.
The two of them went back and forth, neither of them giving in, and a thrilling contest unfolded.
Shi Yan deliberately went behind Shi Jun and reached out to grab the collar at the back of his neck.
However, he was surprised to find that the blue mark on the back of the fake prince's neck had disappeared!
Roar! How could the birthmark suddenly disappear?
Just as he was distracted, Shi Jun took the opportunity to pick him up and threw him heavily to the ground.
This fall seemed to have released all the suppressed emotions in Shi Jun. He was panting, with sparks of anger in his eyes.
Shi Yan was lying on the ground, groaning in pain, his heart full of frustration and helplessness.
The two continued to fight for a while, exhausting each other, and finally sat aside to rest.
Shi Yan couldn't help but look behind Shi Jun's neck again to confirm that there was indeed no blue mark there. There was
a moment of despair in his heart, as if the whole world had collapsed.
He thought he had found an important clue to prove his identity, but now it disappeared.
Shi Yan felt like he was struck by lightning and wanted to cry but had no tears.
Shi Jun ordered in a low voice: "Ahfu, tomorrow you go to favor Concubine Pei Yao for me, you must do it for real."
"For real?" Shi Yan was terrified, "Your Highness, how dare I? She is your concubine. If I really do that, I will be committing a capital crime."
Shi Jun said in a low voice: "The uterine guard sand on Pei Yao's arm is still there. You must make it disappear. This is an order."
"Yes, I obey the order."
That night, in Prince Fu's bedroom, he heard it and laughed out loud.
"Your Highness, she is your concubine anyway, so it doesn't matter if we do it for real."
Shi Yan poured a glass of wine, held it up, and said seriously, "My body and heart are only for Mian Mian, how could I sleep with that woman?" "
Then how do I report to the fake prince?"
Shi Yan actually had a plan, and said with a smile: "There will be a good show in the East Palace tomorrow night." The
next night, when Pei Yao entered the Yu Nuan Pavilion, Shi Yan had not come yet. He sat at the table and poured a cup of tea to drink, and deliberately pulled his collar down to show the deep ravine on his chest.
In the duty room of the Left Guard of the East Palace, a guard came in and shouted: "Captain of the Guard, the Highness asked you to go to the Yu Nuan Pavilion."
Wei Xin was on duty tonight, wondering what the prince had asked him to do since he had asked Concubine Yao to sleep with him tonight?
He went straight to Yu Nuan Pavilion, where the light was dim and quiet.
Wei Xin pushed open the door, "Your Highness?"
He walked in and smelled the strong fragrance. The woman hiding behind the door hugged his neck, "Your Highness, why did you come just now?"
Wei Xin pushed her away, "I am not..."
A long tube stretched in through the window was emitting aphrodisiac fragrance. Wei Xin felt dizzy and his bones were weak. He was pulled to the bed by Pei Yu.
In the darkness, there was a loud voice, and Wei Xin and Pei Yu fell on the bed.
Shi Yan slowly took back the long tube outside the window, put it in his arms, and said with a wicked smile: "Hehe, let you do it for a while, and then scare you half to death, this is exciting."
He did not leave Yu Nuan Pavilion, and knew that Shi Jun was in the palace next to Yu Nuan Pavilion to make the show more interesting.
He only waited for two hours, let Wei Xin get rid of Pei Yao's palace guard sand, and then called Shi Jun to catch the adultery.
In Penglai Palace, Xu Mian learned that Shi Yan summoned Pei Yao to sleep with him again tonight, and for some reason he was very angry.
This dog prince said sweet words one moment, and threatened her that she was not allowed to laugh with others the next moment, but he ended up sleeping with Pei Yao several times.
She remembered that day when Shi Jun whispered to her that it was not him who slept with Pei Yao, but Ah Fu, the guard who was sent to take the blame.
Ah Fu? This guy killed the Persian cat, I must take revenge.
Xu Mian wanted to go to Yu Nuan Pavilion to secretly watch how Shi Yan pretended to be Shi Jun to favor Pei Yao.
Without even taking the ceremonial guard, she took Xue Lian to Yu Nuan Pavilion secretly.
"Crown Princess, why do you want to go and see? I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable to see His Highness and Concubine Yao so affectionate. Let's go back?"
Xu Mian pulled her, "Hush! Let's go and see."
She wanted to catch the two of them on the spot. Damn Ah Fu, I don't care if His Highness asked you to do it or not, anyway, if you dare to sleep with the concubine, you will die.
Besides, if Pei Yao knew that someone else had slept with him, he would be so embarrassed. It was exciting just to think about it.
Xu Mian quickened his pace.
