The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Lian Dongshu naturally would not enter the palace to meet the emperor without preparation.

If it weren't for the fact that the "evidence" Xie Lang handed him was so shocking, it would be his habit to re-investigate the matter first to make sure it was true before presenting it to His Majesty for review.

This thing was given by Xie Lang. Although he was anxious to enter the palace, he would not forget to investigate the cause and effect.

He also learned about what happened in the streets.

Lian Dongshu told Xu Yingying about the private grudge between her and Xue Mingyue, and then told the whole story of Xu's father's imprisonment. Then he said, "Thank you, young marquis, for all the people you arrested have told me what they did. There is no private grudge in this matter."

If there is to be, then there is.

For example, in the matter of visiting cards, so many people submitted their invitations to the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, but Xie Lang only singled out the Fourth Prince's concubine and the Xu family as the chicken to be killed to scare the monkeys.

Xie Lang must have selfish motives here.

But the things that were investigated from their home were all true and not falsified, so Lian Dongshu also felt that he did nothing wrong.

Xu Yingying said those words in public, not only to ruin Xue Mingyue's reputation, but also Xie Lang's. She tried to attribute the incident to personal grudges, and Xie Lang became a person who deceived his superiors and subordinates, disobeyed the law, and acted only according to his own will.

If these words were to reach His Majesty's ears, they would definitely have an impact.

Compared to the Xu family and the third prince, Lian Dongshu definitely has a better relationship with Xie Lang, but it is not appropriate to say too much in front of His Majesty, so as not to have a counterproductive effect, so he just said enough and stopped.

Emperor Jingping had a sullen face and picked out the piece of paper that recorded what Xu Yingying had done from the papers on the table.

The one next to it said that the Third Prince bribed the eunuch around the Sixth Prince.

The one next to it said that the Third Prince bribed the palace maids to facilitate the Fourth Prince and Princess Yelu sneaking out of the banquet for a secret meeting.

As for the one placed in the middle, it was written that the Third Prince had privately made friends with court officials and secretly colluded with the deposed Second Prince, and that all the things he had done before were advised by the Third Prince.

……

All these things show that his third prince has done quite a lot over the years.

Emperor Jingping's chest heaved violently and his face looked extremely ugly. He bent his fingers and tapped on the table several times, making a dull sound.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should be shocked that Xiao Chang had done so much behind his back; or whether he should be shocked that such a short time had passed since Xie Lang took control of the imperial guards, yet he was able to investigate these things so quickly.

There is more involved than what is written on paper.

Does Xie Lang really not have any other power in his hands?

The affairs in the inner court of the imperial palace could also be investigated. It turned out that Xie Lang's hands extended so far. In such a short period of time, he grew so dramatically that Emperor Jingping felt vaguely uneasy and dissatisfied.

First they forced him to abolish his second son, and now they are targeting his third son.

So is the next step to force him to appoint a crown prince?

Thinking that Xie Lang still held the military power of the Dingyuan Army that he had not taken back, if he really wanted to stand on the side of any prince, even if he was afraid of his military power, Emperor Jingping might really be forced to compromise.

Even if he doesn't have this intention now, who can guarantee that he won't do so in the future?

...Just like Xie Nandai, who was close to the prince back then. He had been busy managing the border for so long, and he repeatedly disobeyed the imperial edicts. Otherwise, how could he send the prince over, and how could what happened later happen!

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingping's face suddenly turned gloomy.

He exerted force on his hand, and the already brittle paper turned into waste paper in the blink of an eye. He threw it away casually: "Lian Dongshu, do you admit your guilt?"

The paper ball hit the ground, making a crisp sound.

The palace maids in the hall immediately knelt down in fear.

Lian Dongshu's heart sank when he saw this, and he quickly knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, calm down."

"Calm down? How can I calm down?"

Emperor Jingping was furious. He raised his hand and threw all the memorials on the table to the ground, scolding: "The Third Prince did such a deceitful thing, and you, as the General of the Imperial Guard, did nothing about it. What crime do you think you should be punished for?!"

"Cough-cough-"

Suddenly, Emperor Jingping started coughing violently.

The sound of coughing, which was becoming increasingly violent, echoed in the silent hall.

Liu Shen was startled and quickly picked up the teacup on the table and handed it over: "Your Majesty!"

Lian Dongshu suddenly raised his head, and accidentally caught a glimpse of red in his peripheral vision. His heart suddenly jumped, and he quickly lowered his head again: "I know I was wrong, it is my fault, I hope Your Majesty will take care of your health."

Emperor Jingping's blood boiled, his vision went dark for a moment, and his body shook twice.

"Lian Dongshu, I'll leave this matter entirely to you..." He tightly grasped the corner of the table and coughed forcefully several times, "Pass on my order to detain the third prince and all the related people. The interrogation will also be left to you."

Lian Dongshu was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.

...Does this mean that Xie Lang is not allowed to intervene? His face became extremely solemn, and he cupped his hands and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will accept your order."

The imperial physician was summoned soon.

When leaving the hall, Lian Dongshu looked at the sky outside which was getting dark again, and his heart sank slightly.

The weather in the capital is about to change again.

·

The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is ablaze with lights.

Xue Mingyue was still a little confused, not understanding how things had turned out like this. She glanced at Xie Lang who was sitting next to her... and watched him smoothly pick up the dishes and put them into the pot.

If a person is good-looking, he will look good no matter what he does.

She pinched her fingers helplessly and said speechlessly: "You don't have to be so attentive. No matter how attentive you are, you can't change my mind. Understand?"

I told her to give her time to think about it, so she should think about it.

No matter how much he courted her, she would still have to think about it for a while. It's not a good deal if you rush to get her!

So, he just goes to do what he needs to do and there is no need to stay at all.

Xie Lang rolled up his sleeves and put the boiled meat into her bowl. He curled up the corners of his lips and smiled, "I know, but I just want to be with you right now. I'm very happy."

His eyes were as bright as stars at this moment, sparkling.

Xue Mingyue: "..."

No matter how happy you are, you can't laugh for just one hour!

Xue Mingyue took a deep breath and helplessly looked at his worthless appearance. The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, but she quickly suppressed them. She cleared her throat and asked, "Then you won't handle the matter of the Imperial Guards?"

Xie Lang shook his head: "No more."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly paused, looked at her and added: "It's not that I won't do it, but His Majesty won't let me interfere in this matter again. He must have begun to be afraid of me."

He shrugged nonchalantly.

A mocking arc appeared at the corner of Xie Lang's lips.

...Just like they were afraid of his parents, they were afraid of his existence.
