The Eighth Prince looked at the young man in silence.

This was his son who was deliberately exchanged, and also the brat who took away his daughter.

The Eighth Prince's mood became extremely complicated and difficult to describe.

His silence was misunderstood by Lady Mingqing, who quickly knelt down and said, "Father, he has something important to ask you. I can help you."

The Eighth Prince pulled his face back and said nothing.

However, the Minister of Justice, who was extremely perceptive about the case, looked over and seemed to be thinking about something.

Yuan Ruan: [Tong'er, the Yun family has fallen into poverty and become common people. Is there anything they can do to help the Eighth Prince?]

System: [He is down and out, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Especially someone with a complicated identity like the Yun family is most likely to be targeted by people with ulterior motives like the Queen Mother and King Qin Xin.]

Yuan Ruan: [Hiss. Is he related to King Qin Xin and the others? ]

System: [A little bit.]

Everyone:! ! !

What?! This guy is also involved with the rebels.

The Eighth Prince's mouth twitched slightly: ...

Good man, I almost hanged him when we first met, and now I heard that he has connections with the rebels.

Is this my son? He must have found a living father.

Yuan Ruan couldn't help but lean on the prince's shoulder and try to look out: [Then what can he do to help the Eighth Prince. Wait, Tong'er, are you sure he has really given up his revenge plan? ]

System: [It should be... yes. Why do you ask that? 】

Yuan Ruan blinked: [I just suddenly thought of a sentence "The counselor has great righteousness and has already entered the game." If he uses the power of Qin Xinwang and others to help the Eighth Prince, and then reports this to my brother, wouldn't the Eighth Prince be afraid of your brother and have his property confiscated? Wouldn't he be taking revenge? ]

Everyone staggered in unison, thinking, this analysis does make sense.

——Look, I seduced the daughter of my worldly enemy, and I was related to the traitor. Then His Majesty found out about this, and look, a huge worldly enemy was taken away by me in one go.

The Eighth Prince's face darkened.

He looked at the young man with a complicated expression: "Just say what you want to say."

Yun Jiazi glanced at the people around him and hesitated.

The Eighth Prince's face turned even colder. He said, "I have lived an honest life, and there is nothing shameful about it. If you don't want to tell me, then never tell me."

Princess Mingqing was anxious, and quickly pulled the Yun family member: "Ayun, you say, these are all important officials of the emperor's uncle, they don't think highly of this small achievement."

The important officials raised their eyes slightly: This little girl had set a trap for them in advance.

Yun Jiazi was silent for a while, then he clasped his hands and said, "Someone came to me the other day in the name of the 'Qin Wang Army' and asked me to help raise military funds. I don't want to have anything to do with them. I also heard that the Eighth Prince was detained because of the Queen Mother's matter, so I wanted to use this channel of information as a credit to get the Eighth Prince out early."

Everyone:! ! !

Eighth Prince:!!!

Yuanruan: [Is this true? Tonger, take a look.]

Everyone looked serious and pricked up their ears.

System: [It’s true. The Queen Mother was executed, and Qin Fu lost a way to make money. They are casting a wide net, hoping to find another sucker to pay.]

Yuanruan: [So urgent? It’s only been more than ten days. ]

System: [It's normal! Raising assassins, raising military horses, and raising tenants all require money. A lot of money is spent every day. Otherwise, why do you think the officials of the Ministry of Revenue have developed the habit of calculating at all times? Why are they so stingy? It's all because of the money that slipped away. ]

The Minister of Revenue's eyes were filled with tears: The system understands me.

Yuanruan: [But they will look for the Yun family, is it possible that the Yun family is very rich? ]

System: [No. But the Yun family is very good at making money. When he took over the Yun family, the Yun family only had two shops. After a few years, there are now more than 20 shops. Qin Fu saw this point.]

The Minister of Revenue's eyes lit up instantly. He looked up and down at Yun Jiazi, and became more and more satisfied.

The system continued: [The Yun family member is also smart. He thought of sending the message to the Eighth Prince. This would not only please the person he likes, but also solve the problem.]

The Eighth Prince's expression softened a little.

He immediately asked Yun Jiazi for some details.

The Yun family members who knew the questions answered them one by one, and those who were not clear just said they were not clear.

Yuan Ruan listened for a while and felt a little embarrassed: [My previous guess was based on my own judgment. Fortunately, no one else heard it. ]

The system immediately refuted: [No. Even if someone heard it, they would only praise it. Ah Ruan is smart and cautious and not easily deceived. By the way, Ah Ruan, do you want to tell the Eighth Prince about his biological son? ]

Everyone looked over.

Yuan Ruan touched his cheek: [Go ahead. It's too sad for biological father and son to be enemies. Tell the Eighth Prince in private. It's up to him whether he believes it or not. But I think if I bring up the story of Princess Mingqing, the Eighth Prince will believe it once he goes to the Eighth Princess to verify it.]

System: [Hmm, Ah Ruan is very thoughtful, but how do you explain the source of the information...]

Yuanruan waved her hand and said, "Fortune-telling! Have you forgotten my identity? My tortoise shell fortune-telling skills are 100% accurate. Absolutely."

Everyone nodded.

The Eighth Prince looked at Yuan Ruan with hidden gratitude. Having the final say from the Imperial Master could really save him a lot of trouble.

Afterwards, the Eighth Prince went to the Third Prince and told him about the news about the traitor, and that he had to go out and deal with the related matters first.

The Third Prince waved his hand and arranged for the Eighth Prince to leave the palace.

The Eighth Prince then left with Yun Jiazi and Princess Mingqing.

Yuan Ruan leaned on the prince's shoulder and looked at the three people's backs in surprise: [Ah? The Eighth Prince just left like that? This detention is so casual. ]

System: [Eighth Prince and Ninth Prince, the two who did not go to their fiefdoms to be vassal kings, are very trusted by your brother. Although I didn't eat melons, I suspect that the Eighth Prince is staying in the Zongzheng Mansion honestly, and he may be stinging for law enforcement. ]

Yuanruan nodded in approval.

After eating this bloody melon, Yuanruan thought that the next few days would be ordinary.

So she didn't go to the Zongzheng Mansion again.

On the one hand, she arranged for someone to deliver the "son exchange" hexagram to the Eighth Prince's mansion, and successfully received a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry in return.

On the other hand, Yuan Ruan accompanied the Seventh Princess to Shanglin Garden for hunting and training.

Just a few days passed, and the Third Prince and Qi Kuan suddenly came to the door on their own initiative.

The Third Prince lowered his eyebrows and said in a flattering tone, "Little Imperial Master, when will you come to the Zongzheng Mansion to play?"

Yuanruan tilted his head in confusion.

The Third Prince added, in a tone of coaxing a child to eat a lollipop, "The Zongzheng Mansion is very fun."

Yuanruan got goosebumps all over his body: [Tong'er, the Third Prince of Salted Fish took the initiative to invite me to work? Tong'er, I feel like there's something fishy going on! ]

The Third Prince’s expression froze.

Qi Kuan smiled but didn't smile.

System: [Let me see. Pfft... turns out he was beaten.]

Yuanruan: [Hmm? What's going on? ]
