Zhang was dragged away, and Emperor Jian'an turned to look at Meng Kai again, frowning slightly.
"Minister Meng, we need to continue investigating after we get the list. I'll have to inconvenience you for a few more days. Please do not leak the list tonight, so as not to alert the enemy."
"Yes, thank you very much, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
Meng Kai pulled his daughter to kneel on the ground and kowtowed three times to Emperor Jian'an.
"It's late at night, let's say goodbye."
Holding Su Lili in his arms, Emperor Jian'an strode away.
Behind her, Meng Yiyi glanced at her father and found that he was lowering his head with his shoulders trembling slightly.
Thinking that he might still have feelings for Zhang, she comforted him softly, "Dad, don't be sad anymore. Although Zhang was divorced, it was his own fault, and he almost implicated more people."
"Daddy, you deserve a better woman. Your daughter will definitely look for a reliable stepmother and recommend her to you!"
I pushed Meng Kai, but saw that his shoulders twitched even more violently, and made a gurgling sound.
...
...
Under Meng Yiyi's distressed gaze, Meng Kai suddenly laughed out loud, and his laughter echoed in the sky.
“Haha, hahahahahahahaha, I’ve finally gotten rid of the tigress, I’m finally free!”
"No more getting beaten, no more being threatened, and at night I can go to the roadside to drink and eat skewers to my heart's content, haha, hahahahaha!"
Seeing him laughing crazily, Meng Yiyi lowered her eyes and sighed helplessly.
Alas, Daddy was stimulated and his brain suddenly stopped working properly. What should I do?
It seems that Daddy really loves Zhang so deeply that he is crazy about love... It's touching, so touching!
If this continues, it's really not a solution. I have to see a doctor after dawn. If I'm sick, I have to get treatment.

After returning to the palace, with the list in hand, Emperor Jian'an began to send people to conduct a thorough investigation, including checking everyone on the list.
After all, it is impossible to convict someone with just a piece of paper. We need to follow the clues and find evidence of their crime before arresting them.
In Weirui Palace, the chief eunuch Wang Yun suddenly paid a visit, and palace maids holding trays came in one after another and lined up in a row.
"My Lady, what a great event! What a great event!"
"What's the good news? Tell me about it!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Concubine Xian immediately came out holding Su Lili. In front of Su Lili, Wang Yun lifted the red cloth on the tray, revealing many golden jewelry.
There are ones for adults as well as children, inlaid with various precious gems and the workmanship is extremely exquisite.
Seeing Concubine Xian's confused face, Wang Yun patiently explained, "Your Majesty said that the little princess has made great contributions. These are gifts for you and the little princess. If you don't like them, you can send more."
"The little princess is so young, yet she can actually help His Majesty. She is really a smart child, and her future is invaluable!"
He couldn't help but feel jealous when looking at so many treasures, and the status of the little princess in his heart was raised again.
Your Majesty really loves the little princess. These treasures were also selected by Your Majesty himself in the warehouse, and he asked him to send them to Weirui Palace as soon as possible.
[Wow, gold, so much gold! ]
[I like it, I like it so much, my father is really generous and the best father in the world! ]
Su Lili held the jewelry in her hands, unwilling to put it down. There was a gleam in her eyes, sparkling and extremely cute.
The virtuous concubine chuckled, put a pair of gold bracelets on her fingers, hung a golden necklace on her, combed her hair into a bun, and pinned it with a small golden hairpin.
Looking at herself in the mirror after getting dressed up, Su Lili was very satisfied and kept laughing happily.
[Sucks, it looks so good! ]
Twisting her hips conceitedly and adjusting the tassels at her ears, Su Lili made a pose that she thought was very domineering, which made Concubine Xian and the palace maids laugh in good faith.
Here, Li Yun began to investigate the case, while Sun He's injuries recovered and he immediately went to the palace to see the emperor.
Emperor Jian'an sat leisurely beside the large wooden table with one leg crossed.
Suddenly, Wang Yun came hurriedly, bowed, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Sun He insisted on entering the palace to meet you after his injury healed, saying that his merits would atone for his crime and he would continue to help investigate the case."
Sunhe? Emperor Jian'an was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted.
"Xuan, let him come in."
Sun He entered the hall and immediately prostrated himself on the ground.
"I am guilty and have failed your majesty's trust. I am willing to atone for my crime and relieve your majesty's worries."
Seeing him coming, Emperor Jian'an sat up straighter, took a sip of tea, and sighed leisurely.
After taking a quick look at the memorials, I actually saw a major case, but I have no idea about the candidate yet.
"Okay, I can give you this opportunity. Take a look at this memorial."
He gave Wang Yun a look and nodded at the memorial.
Wang Yun understood what he meant, picked up the memorial, walked down the stairs, and presented it to Sun He with both hands.
"I would like to ask Lord Sun to review this case. If you handle it well, I will not only forgive you, but also give you more rewards."
After taking the memorial, Sun He read it from beginning to end, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Facing the amused look of Emperor Jian'an, he immediately straightened his back and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will investigate this case thoroughly!"
"Very good. Just tell me if you need any help. With this token, you can freely enter and exit the Dali Temple's archives. Be sure to keep it safe."
Wang Yun brought a token with a dragon pattern carved on it, which was obviously an imperial item.
Giving him this thing also showed how much he was valued, and Sun He was so excited that he cried.
"Okay, step back now. I'll give you half a month to get to the bottom of this matter."
Walking out of the hall and taking another look at the memorial in his hand, Sun He was filled with worries.
The case is that the second prince Su Yu suddenly died in prison last night.
The coroner came and found a golden key in his stomach and confirmed that he died of poisoning.
His mission is to thoroughly investigate the secrets hidden in the key, and to find out whether there is any conspiracy behind it, as well as the identity and purpose of the poisoner.
As for how to get the key, perhaps he would have to rely on His Majesty's token. His Majesty still trusted him so much, and he could not let His Majesty down again.
Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, three or five days had passed. In the afternoon, Sun He led his troops to surround Su Han's room.
"Check, check carefully for any secret compartments or doors, or locked boxes or cabinets!"
"I obey your command!"
The soldiers swarmed in and searched the room. Sun He sat down to rest his feet and took the time to look through the relevant files.
A moment later, a soldier came forward, saluted, and said, "Your Excellency, we found a large locked iron door behind the bookshelf. What should we do next?"
Iron gate? Sun He was overjoyed and immediately went to insert the key into the lock.
After turning around a few times, the iron door opened with a rumble, revealing a dark room.
