Good! My stupid son finally rebelled!

kindness?

Chu Wan'er was very confused: "What are you talking about?"

"Tsk."

Ling Tian smiled confidently: "Wife, just trust your husband. He will not let you down."

"Pooh."

Chu Wan'er said, "Who told you to say something so corny?"

"I'm not being cheesy." Ling Tian said with a straight face: "I'm quite serious. Now as long as Concubine Xiao and Concubine Li work harder, we can leave Kyoto."

"Just around the corner."

Chu Wan'er's expression changed slightly after hearing this. Although she didn't say it directly, Ling Tian knew it: "Wife, don't worry, if my aunt and mother-in-law can't leave."

"I will also use other methods to allow them to protect themselves in the imperial capital."

“You make it sound like you’re a god.” Chu Wan’er rolled her eyes, then covered her mouth with her hands and giggled, not looking at Ling Tian anymore.

at the same time.

In the imperial city.

Under a pavilion, Emperor Wu was sipping tea and listening to Liu Jin's words: "Concubine Li can't hold it back any longer."

"His Majesty."

Liu Jin whispered, "Empress Li is a concubine in the harem, but she actually wants to threaten the Sixth Prince. Should I let this old servant..."

"Need not."

Emperor Wu waved his hand: "Concubine Li is not a threat. She just wants to protect the third brother in her own way."

The third prince?

Liu Jin heard this and whispered, "Your Majesty, according to previous investigations, Zhao Qingya must have been ordered by the Third Prince to do that in Huaitong."

"Zhao Qingya is dead, so don't talk about her anymore." Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes and said, "It's been a while since the assassination of Lao Liu in Huaitong. It's time for you, Liu Jin, to close the case."

Case closed?

Liu Jin was a little confused. Up to now, there had been no news at all. How could he close the case?

Could it be...

Liu Jin seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened for a moment, and he quickly bowed and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this old servant will definitely not embarrass Your Majesty."

Although there were not many clues after such a long investigation, Liu Jin could see that neither the Third Prince nor the Crown Prince had made any move against Ling Tian at all.

Forget about sending out assassins.

However, the key person is Ling Tian. If Ling Tian makes random corrections, Emperor Wu must conduct an in-depth investigation and will find out something even if there is nothing.

It would be better to choose the right time to close the case. Firstly, it can save the royal family's face, secondly, it can consolidate the emperor's position, and thirdly, it can make the court temporarily stable.

So as not to bring about the conflict between the third prince and the crown prince in advance.

This is the best strategy.

Liu Jin couldn't help but think in his heart: "Your Majesty is still Your Majesty after all. With such a simple method, he can cause such a commotion."

“It’s really admirable.”

"And doing so will also tell everyone that His Majesty is not ignoring the Sixth Prince. After all, he is the blood of the Emperor, and you must not mess around."

"Otherwise you'll just be shooting yourself in the foot."

Liu Jin suppressed his thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, Elena from Dayuan is waiting outside."

"Let her in." Emperor Wu put down the tea in his hand, and soon Elena came to the pavilion: "Greetings, His Majesty Daqian."

"Ah."

Emperor Wu glanced at Elena, his eyes sank slightly, and a hint of imperial aura permeated. Elena was nervous: "Your Majesty Daqian, you asked me to come here, is there something wrong?"

"Humph."

Emperor Wu whispered, "I heard that you are in charge of the trade route between Daqian and Dayuan, and that Sanshan Town is the starting point of Daqian."

"Why did you appear in Kyoto with Lao Liu this time?"

"Could it be that Lao Liu went to Sanshan Town?"

Geek!

Elena heard the temptation: "Your Majesty misunderstood, Elena has always wanted to go deeper, but there is no chance."

"This time, Elena also heard that Huaitong had changed, and wanted to go and feel it for herself."

"Who knew that we would encounter bandits just as we approached Huaitong? If it weren't for the help of your highness's elite troops, I wouldn't be able to stand here."

"But what I didn't expect was that His Highness would be assassinated just as he was discussing cooperation with me."

Elena said tenderly, "Your Majesty, you are not doubting that I was the one who assassinated His Highness?"

"I dream of having deep cooperation with Daqian."

"How can you attack His Highness?"

When Elena said this, she was almost about to kowtow. Emperor Wu frowned and said, "Have you ever seen a ghost?"

"This……"

Elena's eyes were dodging, and Emperor Wu clapped his hands with a bang: "Elena, do you still want to lie in front of me?"

"No no no."

Elena shook her head: "Your Majesty, I dare not lie. I did meet Guimian in the horse market."

Ghost face?

Emperor Wu narrowed his eyes: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true." Elena said, "I was able to know about Your Highness because of Ghost Face's help. Your Majesty also knows what happened later."

Elena was not nervous at all. This was an excuse she had already thought of, or perhaps it was Ling Tian's instruction to make Emperor Wu suspicious of Ghost Face. As for how to investigate it.

That wasn't something he was worried about.

Seeing Emperor Wu thinking, Elena said, "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I would never dare to deceive Your Majesty."

"okay."

Emperor Wu waved his hand and said: "Since you have come to the imperial capital, you should take a good look at my Daqian style. It is actually not bad to have you promote exchanges between the two countries."

Emperor Wu was very jealous of the Dayuan warhorse: "When you leave this time, I will also reward you with some good things."

"If you think it's okay, you can exchange it for a warhorse next time."

"I will personally stand up for you and promote trade between our two countries."

Old fox!

Elena cursed in her heart: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

"It's okay, go down first."

After hearing Emperor Wu's words, Elena turned around suspiciously. Just after taking two steps, Emperor Wu's words rang out again: "Elena, before we leave, I want to warn you of something."

"Daqian will always be Daqian."

“It won’t change because of anyone’s presence.”

"You can leave safely because I have given you a new life."

Gulu.

Elena swallowed hard: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wu did not stop her, but just watched Elena leave, with a barely perceptible smile on his face: "Ghost Face, you are really good at it, and you have already left Kyoto."

"You can also take away all the betrothal gifts from the Chu family."

"And at an extremely fast speed, they found the Gong family to cooperate and put the betrothal gift on the black market for auction."

"Are you planning something for Lao Liu?"

Emperor Wu suddenly felt a little excited.

Zhenbei Palace.

Ling Tian and Chu Wan'er's carriage had just arrived at the door when Li Yu'e and Li Yulan came out of the mansion. Although they tried their best to hide their joy, their expressions did not diminish, especially Li Yulan.

There was a hint of fatigue in the corners of his eyes.

Obviously too many things happened during this period of time, and Li Yulan was a little overwhelmed.

"mother."

Chu Wan'er's eyes suddenly turned red. Without any hesitation, she rushed out directly, tears streaming down her face. Li Yulan patted Chu Wan'er and said, "Okay, girl. You did a good job this time."

Li Yulan comforted Chu Wan'er, then looked at Ling Tian: "Sixth Prince, let's talk inside."
