The conversation was interrupted by Emperor Jingming. Yu Jin looked a little confused: "My son said that he had two things to do when he came to the palace today-"

"One of them is to visit Consort Xian in the palace?"

"Yes." Yu Jin looked at Emperor Jingming, revealing some confusion.

Emperor Jingming paused when he saw his son's innocent expression.

He had been thinking about it all night and had even thought of everything to curse, but then the Seventh Brother said he was here to visit Concubine Xian. How could he curse?

Although it is natural for a father to scold his son, as such a wise ruler, can he scold someone without any reason?

You must not!

Emperor Jingming picked up the teacup and took a sip, which relieved the suffocating feeling of punching cotton.

"What about the other thing?"

When mentioning another matter, Yu Jin's expression suddenly became serious, and in his seriousness, he also showed a sense of grievance: "Father, this time I went south to look for my uncle, and I found out that my uncle was ambushed when fighting the enemy, and the person who shot the arrow was one of our own soldiers!"

"What?" Emperor Jingming's face suddenly darkened.

Compared to those trivial matters, this is the big thing that should be taken seriously.

Both sides are fighting on the battlefield. What a disaster it would be if there was a traitor on one side!

Yu Jin knelt on one knee and clasped his hands together: "I beg you, father, to make the decision for Jiang Zhan!"

"Have you found any other clues?" Emperor Jingming asked.

"The man who shot the arrow was named Huang Qi."

Emperor Jingming was silent for a moment.

Have you even found out who the person who shot the sneak attack was?

"That yellow flag—"

"He is from Hedong. I can't find out more about him. But I have ordered someone to take him back to the capital. I hope your Majesty will make the decision."

Whether the person behind the scenes was targeting Jiang Zhan or coming for him, Yu Jin thought it was a good idea to report it to Emperor Jingming. If he investigated it himself, even if he found out the truth, it would depend on Emperor Jingming's opinion whether he would take revenge or not.

Emperor Jingming pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to Jinlin Guards to investigate."

"Thank you, Father."

Emperor Jingming looked at Yu Jin who was kneeling on the ground, and thought to himself that the Seventh Prince was quite sensible and knew to report the matter to him, unlike some scoundrels who loved to deceive their superiors and subordinates and act like they were smart.

Thinking of this, he felt more satisfied with his son and said gently, "Let's go to Yuquan Palace."

Yu Jin knelt there without moving.

Emperor Jingming frowned slightly.

Is there anything else you want to report?

"What else?"

Yu Jin raised his head and asked, "Father, if you find out why Huang Qi harmed Jiang Zhan, can you tell me?"

Emperor Jingming twitched his lips, and nodded helplessly under the other party's eager gaze: "Well, leave."

"Thank you, father." Yu Jin smiled brightly without disguising himself, and his footsteps were brisk as he left.

Emperor Jingming shook his head and sighed.

The brat reported the bad things to him and then left happily. What kind of thing is this?

When two sides are at war, if someone from one side shoots an arrow at one of their own people, the matter could be a big or small one, and Emperor Jingming could not help but take it seriously.

The leisure time for reading the storybook was naturally gone. Emperor Jingming glanced at Pan Hai standing in the corner and said expressionlessly, "Go and call Han Ran."

"Yes." Pan Hai bowed and responded, then walked out, feeling a little emotional.

The King of Yan looks bold and ambitious, but in fact he is a smart man.

Yu Jin left the Yangxin Palace and went directly to the Yuquan Palace.

Upon hearing that the Prince of Yan wanted to see her, Concubine Xian leaned back on the beauty couch and said lazily, "Let him in."

Soon Yu Jin came in and greeted Concubine Xian: "I heard that Your Majesty was not feeling well. I wonder if you are feeling better now?"

Concubine Xian raised her eyelids to look at him, and said indifferently: "Thanks to you, I am not dead yet."

Yu Jin did not show any displeasure at all, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, please do not say such unlucky words, so as not to worry those who care about you."

"Hmph, you care about me?" Seeing Yu Jin like this, Concubine Xian became even angrier.

Don't think she doesn't know the beast is pretending.

When the plum blossom viewing banquet was held for the two princes to choose concubines, this beast pretended to be respectful and well-behaved to her, which made her careless and easily let that bitch Jiang become the concubine of Prince Yan.

She had already seen through that this beast had no maternal love for her, so she would naturally not be deceived again.

Yu Jin smiled slightly, with a pure face: "Your Highness, don't be ridiculous. Of course I care about you."

Concubine Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "Care? If you care about me, why didn't you come to Yuquan Palace when you entered the palace yesterday? Instead of waiting for the emperor to tell you to come, you thought of it? I think you don't care about me at all, but you are afraid of making your father unhappy, right?"

Yu Jin was stunned: "What is your Majesty talking about? Father didn't say anything to me."

"No?" Concubine Xian sneered, "Didn't the emperor ask you to come here?"

Yu Jin was even more surprised: "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. Father didn't say anything to me. I came here because I was worried about you. I took care of the things on hand——"

"That's enough. Do you think I'm a fool?" Concubine Xian interrupted Yu Jin angrily.

Yu Jin lowered her eyes, her voice full of confusion and grievance: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me too deeply. Why did I come to pay my respects to you only after your father reminded me? It was because I had too many things to do yesterday that I was one day late. Of course, I was wrong. I should have come as soon as possible..."

Yu Jian was very humble, but Concubine Xian became even more annoyed. Suddenly, she heard a trusted nanny beside her cough lightly.

Concubine Xian glanced at her trusted nanny out of the corner of her eye and took back the words she was about to say.

The trusted nanny heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Perhaps it was because of the illness, the Empress had never been so impatient in the past. Even if she was upset, she would never lose her temper in public. But recently, she has become more and more unable to control her temper.

The Prince of Yan has such a good attitude. If the Queen refuses to give in in front of so many palace ladies, it will only make people think that the Queen is too harsh on the Prince of Yan, which will be disadvantageous to the Queen if it gets out.

After being reminded by her trusted nanny, Concubine Xian obviously also thought of this. She regained her composure and said calmly, "No matter what, I am relieved that you can come to see me, so as to avoid some ignorant jokes about our weak mother-son relationship."

The atmosphere finally eased, and the mother and son exchanged a few words. Yu Jin suddenly said seriously, "My queen, I encountered some problems during my trip south this time, and I want to tell you about them."

"Go ahead."

Yu Jin looked around in embarrassment.

"You all stand down."

The palace maids, who were already frightened by the tense atmosphere just now, could not wait to retreat.

"Can I talk now?"

Yu Jin looked at the only confidant nanny left.

Concubine Xian frowned.

"What I am about to say is too serious to be known to others."

Concubine Xian hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly to her trusted nanny.

It doesn't matter if there's no one to accompany her. No matter how unfilial the seventh brother is, he will never dare to hurt her.

The trusted nanny bent her knees slightly and stepped back.

"What is going on? It's so mysterious?"

Yu Jin smiled slightly, and the whole person seemed different from before. She said softly: "Your Majesty was wrong when you said that the mother-son relationship is weak. There is no mother-son relationship between us."
