Chapter 256: Visit (Update 1)
The news that the second prince was urgently summoned to the palace was soon delivered to Shen Yanchuan's desk.
Yun Cheng bowed his head and said, "I heard that Eunuch Li went to the Prince of Qi's mansion and asked him to leave soon. Now two hours have passed and the Prince of Qi has not returned yet. In addition, the Prime Minister also entered the palace today."
Chen Yanchuan leaned back in his chair without raising his eyes.
"Master Jiang is always well-informed."
After His Majesty sees the case file, he will definitely hold Xiao Chengxuan accountable. When the emperor is angry, the force will be like thunder and lightning, and even Xiao Chengxuan, who has always been favored, may not be able to withstand it.
Of course Jiang Zhaoyuan went to the palace to plead for mercy without stopping.
Yun Cheng smiled: "I'm afraid that the King of Qi is still angry at Han Tong for betraying him. Deceiving the king is a capital crime. If he can't clear himself, he will be in trouble."
Whether Huo Yucheng was wronged or not is not the most important thing. What the emperor cares about most is that someone dared to play tricks under his nose.
Regardless of whether Xiao Chengxuan can defend himself today, he has already lost the trust of the emperor. If he wants to make up for it in the future, he will have to spend several times more effort.
Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows.
"He took the initiative to hand it over to me, so there's no reason for us to use it."
That day he sent Ye Chutang back home and ordered his men to secretly detain Han Tong and his son. He also deliberately left some clues for Xiao Chengxuan so that his men could find the place smoothly.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Xiao Chengxuan did not dare to commit the crime. He only asked his men to use threats and inducements on Han Tong. However, he did not know that the person trapped there had already been replaced by Su Mu, who was the best at disguise.
The thing he cared about most was Huo Yucheng's case.
Chen Yanchuan already had some guesses in his mind, and after this he was even more certain, so he directly added this to Han Tong's interrogation testimony.
As expected, His Majesty was furious.
The first person to bear the brunt of the incident was Xiao Chengxuan, who was in charge of the case that year.
When Yun Cheng thought of the mess in Prince Qi's mansion today, he asked again, "Master, do you want to send more people to investigate?"
Maybe we can take this opportunity to find something useful from the Prince Qi's Mansion.
Chen Yanchuan shook his head: "No need. Just let them watch in secret."
Now that Your Majesty has taken action, it is not the turn of others to act on their own. Listening and seeing too much will only lead to trouble.
Yun Cheng suddenly realized: "Follow the master's instructions."
Shen Yanchuan raised his hand, indicating that he could leave, but as soon as Yun Cheng turned around, he saw Lian Zhou striding towards him.
"Master, Miss Ye Er is visiting!"
Chen Yanchuan paused and looked up.
Yun Cheng was also secretly surprised. At this time, countless eyes in the capital were looking at the Ye family. The second Miss Ye should be recuperating at home, so why did she come here suddenly?
While he was thinking, Chen Yanchuan had already stood up.
"Please ask someone to go to the front hall."
…
Led by the butler, Ye Chutang walked around the corridor and went all the way to the front hall.
Xiaowu was traveling with her.
This was her first time to visit the Dingbei Marquis Mansion. The pavilions, towers, green lake and rockery exuded elegance everywhere.
However, she did not look around curiously like an ordinary child. Instead, she just held her sister's hand and followed her obediently.
Although he is young, he is quite calm.
The butler was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted - this guest was a frequent visitor to the Princess's Mansion, and had seen all kinds of scenes. He was no worse than those carefully educated daughters of the royal family in the capital.
Not to mention, her elder sister Miss Ye Er who was traveling with her -
Looking at the beautiful and gentle face of the girl, the butler once again said to himself that he must be extremely respectful to her in the future!
"Miss Ye Er, the prince is waiting in the hall, please——"
