The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

In the upper study, A Jing bowed his head and knelt before the emperor: "Your servant A Jing pays respect to your majesty."

"You are working in the Fourth Master's mansion. Have you taken my instructions to heart?" the emperor asked expressionlessly.

"In reply to your Majesty, I have been with the Fourth Prince for more than ten years and have always kept my mission in mind. I have never let the Fourth Prince doubt me. However, the Fourth Prince is cautious by nature and he usually tells the eunuch in charge, Eunuch Jin, about all secret matters. If I want to get information, I can only use other means."

"Jin Fulai?" The emperor frowned. "That's because he and Concubine Rou served together. No wonder."

Concubine Rou was the mother of the fourth prince Wu Tianqi. She was originally a maid in the palace. After she was favored by the emperor and gave birth to the fourth prince, she was promoted to a noble lady... Unfortunately, she died before Wu Tianqi moved to the palace. Concubine Rou was her posthumous title. Jin Fulai was the eunuch who worked with her when she was a maid in the palace.

The emperor had an impression of this person.

Jin Fulai was the person left behind by Concubine Rou, so naturally he was more trusted by Wu Tianqi.

Seeing that the emperor acknowledged the matter, Ah Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since the news of the Qixi banquet came back, he had been preparing for the emperor's summons at this moment. As the emperor's spy in the fourth prince's mansion, he actually knew nothing about this matter. It was really difficult to justify himself, so he could only find an excuse from Eunuch Jin to deal with the emperor's questioning.

Fortunately, the emperor did not dwell on this matter, but continued to ask: "Since you said you got the news from other channels, then tell me what you learned."

The emperor leaned back in his chair, waiting leisurely for Ajing's reply.

"Regarding the restoration of the Fourth Imperial Concubine's appearance, this servant has some clues."

"When she entered the palace, wasn't her appearance already intact?" The emperor frowned.

Ah Jing said hurriedly, "Your Majesty is right. But in the month before the Fourth Imperial Concubine entered the palace, the Fourth Prince often went out, and he only brought Eunuch Jin and a few guards. Although Jin Fulai kept his mouth shut, the Fourth Prince always had me help him change his clothes after returning home. I once smelled a scent of powder on him... I smelled this scent again after the Fourth Imperial Concubine entered the palace."

After Ah Jing finished speaking, Eunuch Yao added, "Your Majesty, the Fourth Imperial Concubine's face was completely restored within a month before the wedding."

The emperor nodded, looked at Ah Jing and continued to ask: "Where does the fourth brother meet Lin Jiaoyue every time? Do you know?"

"His Highness the Fourth Prince has never mentioned this to me, but I have seen the tea cards brought out from the Jade Tower from His Highness's attendants and guards."

"Jade Tower..." the emperor sneered, turning his head to look at Eunuch Yao, "I remember that the fourth son had a long private room there... It turns out that he was using it to meet with a beautiful lady."

"Your Majesty is right." Eunuch Yao responded quickly.

"Have Chu He lead people to search the Jade Building. Make sure to search every corner thoroughly, especially the long private room reserved by the fourth brother. Search it for me!"

"Yes, I will make arrangements now."

Eunuch Yao went out, and the emperor looked at A Jing: "In your opinion, did the fourth son really surrender to the queen?"

Ah Jing lowered his head. "After the Crown Prince was deposed, the Fourth Prince was indeed particularly concerned about the affairs of the Queen's palace... After finding out that the Queen had trouble sleeping, he even specially found the 'Panshan Yunhai' clepsydra from the extra chapter to help the Queen sleep."

The emperor smiled and nodded: "I have also seen that object, it is indeed extremely exquisite."

"Old Four... is thoughtful."
