On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

Forty years ago...

Princess Yun...

A flash of inspiration flashed through Su Sui'an's mind, and she suddenly remembered something from the past...

To be precise, it was an old case that she had uncovered in her previous life.

Princess Yun’s mother’s family was the He family from Liyang in the northern border of the Yuan Dynasty.

Before the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, all the war horses in the world came from the He family in Liyang in the northern border.

After the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, because the head of the He family had a close relationship with the Yuan Dynasty's Emperor Taizu, Liyang in the northern border was later incorporated into the Yuan Dynasty.

Emperor Taizu was grateful for the righteousness of the head of the He family and gave Liyang independent power.

In order to show their loyalty to Emperor Taizu, the He family of Liyang promised Emperor Taizu that from now on, Liyang war horses would only be provided to the Yuan Dynasty.

From then on, the Yuan Dynasty went through three generations of emperors, and each generation of monarchs lived in harmony with the He family.

Until the late emperor ascended the throne fifty years ago.

Unlike the previous emperors, the late emperor seemed to be particularly wary of the He family of Liyang.

The first thing he did after ascending the throne was to have the heir of the He family in Liyang come to Beijing, and the second thing he did was to grant a marriage to the He family in Liyang.

The person of the arranged marriage was not someone else but the helpless and helpless Prince Yun.

The lineage of Prince Yun is also a very special existence in the royal family.

The first Prince Yun was named Zhu Gou, usually called Er Gouzi by others. He was a sworn brother of Emperor Taizu and had been following Emperor Taizu all the way since Emperor Taizu was still a commoner.

When Emperor Taizu rose up in rebellion, he had been with Emperor Taizu through thick and thin for many years. In the end, Emperor Taizu became successful and famous, but he did not forget this sworn brother who had been loyal to him from the beginning. He gave him the title of "Yun" and left an imperial edict, stating that the lineage of Prince Yun would be hereditary.

It represents Emperor Taizu's tolerance and favor towards him.

For a time, Prince Yun’s Mansion was the most popular.

However, the good times did not last long.

The lineage of Prince Yun originally rose from the peasants.

Although the first generation of Prince Yun was a man of courage, he had followed Taizu in battles outside for many years and neglected to discipline his own children. Starting from the second Prince Yun, the Prince Yun's Mansion began to decline visibly.

The popularity back then was like a flash in the pan.

It was not until the current Prince Yun, Zhu Chongjin, inherited the title that the Prince Yun's Palace gradually gained the dignity that a prince's palace should have.

However, this only refers to the young Prince Yun.

Ever since the affair with his mistress, Prince Yun's temperament has changed drastically, and concubines have been brought in one after another...

"...If the Empress Dowager hadn't intervened personally, I'm afraid that Princess Yun would have divorced Prince Yun long ago. The concubine who came later was said to have been driven away from Luojing, but there was also news that she was kept by Prince Yun. In short, there was no news about her."

After Uncle Fu finished speaking, Su Sui'an also roughly understood what happened between the He Mansion, the Murong Imperial Family and Prince Yun in the previous life.

The King's Concubine...

Forty years ago...

son...

Princess Yun died mysteriously after the divorce, and the He family in Liyang was exterminated for treason...

These things seem to be unrelated, but Su Sui'an always feels that things are not that simple.

Looking up, he saw Shopkeeper Fu looking at him anxiously. Su Sui'an calmed his restless heart and smiled at Shopkeeper Fu.

"I understand. Thank you, Uncle Fu, for bringing back the news about Ali. Don't worry. It's not easy for me to offend the Marquis of Changping and Prince Yun's Mansion right now. I will keep the secret in my heart and stay away from these dignitaries."

Shopkeeper Fu breathed a sigh of relief. "It would be best if the young lady could figure it out. The master is rich, and he doesn't have too much hope for the young lady, the young lady, and the young master. He just hopes that the young lady and the young lady can be safe and sound."

Thinking of the old man who was as happy as a naughty boy whenever he saw her, Su Sui'an couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Thank you, Uncle Fu. Please give my grandfather a message later and tell him that I will visit him when I am free."

If she counted carefully, she hadn't seen her grandfather for more than ten years from her last life to now.

Su Sui'an secretly decided that after this busy period, he would take some time to go back to the south to see his grandfather.

Turning around and seeing Manager Fu preparing to leave, Su Sui'an's heart moved and he called out "Liu'er".

Liu'er was well prepared. She took out a small stack of silver bills with a face value of 100 taels that Su Sui'an had asked her to prepare in advance and presented it to Manager Fu.

Before Manager Fu could speak, Su Sui'an smiled and said, "Uncle Fu must have spent a lot of manpower, material resources and money to get this information. Here is a little gift. Uncle Fu, take it to treat the brothers to tea and comfort the families of the brothers who lost their lives because of the investigation. Others work for us, we can't let them down."

This was not the first time that Su Sui'an gave him banknotes to distribute to his brothers, but every time he saw Su Sui'an being generous, Shopkeeper Fu couldn't help but sigh inwardly that Su Sui'an was very tactful.

Knowing that it was impossible for Su Sui'an to take the banknote back, Manager Fu accepted the banknote, thanked him, and left.

After Shopkeeper Fu left, Liu'er looked at Su Sui'an curiously.

"Miss, what news did Uncle Fu bring back to you that made you so happy?"

Su Sui'an raised his lips slightly, "It's a secret. Let your people keep a close eye on the movements at Changping Marquis' Mansion."

"Don't worry, young lady. I know."

Seeing Su Sui'an was about to go out again, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss, where are you going?"

Su Sui'an walked without stopping, "I'm going to meet someone, you don't have to follow me."
