Although the Crown Princess followed the advice of her staff and closed the Crown Prince's Mansion, not allowing anyone to enter or leave, she was worried in her heart, fearing that the Emperor would suspect that they were planning a rebellion.

But most of the day passed and no one from the Dali Temple came again, and no news came from the palace.

Her heart, which had risen to her throat, relaxed a little.

However, this is not a long-term solution.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much for now. As long as His Highness is still sick, His Majesty will never really let that old man Ji Yan carry His Highness out of the palace."

In the study, an old man in a blue-gray gown spoke.

The others all nodded, following the old man's lead.

The Crown Princess sat in the main seat, her face heavy, "That being said, but... Ji Yan was able to find the account books for things that happened so many years ago. Your Majesty is just temporarily worried about Your Highness. What if... what should we do?"

The evidence has been placed before His Majesty. It is impossible to destroy it.

But if they want to win, they either have to prove that the evidence Ji Yan sent to the palace is false, or they can only let Ji Yan turn against them himself.

Either way, it's almost impossible.

Seeing that the Crown Princess did not understand what he meant, the old man stood up and knelt down, "I have been working for Your Highness for more than twenty years, and have watched Your Highness come this far step by step. If it were not for the special emergency, it would not have come to this point..."

The Crown Princess suddenly felt something was wrong and stared at the kneeling old man: "Mr. Su, what are you doing..."

Su Xun did not respond to the Crown Princess' words, and continued, "Your Highness's time is coming, and there is nothing you can do to save the situation. But what happened back then is set in stone, and there is no possibility of recovery. Therefore, if you want to save the Crown Prince's Mansion, you have to wait."

When the other counselors saw the Crown Princess's expression change after hearing Su Xun's words, they all stood up and knelt.

"As long as His Highness is gone, you can shirk responsibility, quibble, deny everything, and even turn against Ji Yan. His Majesty loves His Highness, otherwise he would not have ignored you and acquiesced to your actions. By then, there will be no evidence, and Ji Yan's further fuss will be in vain."

The emperor does not want his son to be humiliated after he is born, so he will naturally find a way to shut Ji Yan's mouth and the mouths of all the officials.

Anyway, His Majesty has done this kind of thing many times.

At most... a few more people will die!

Although what Su Xun said was true, the Crown Princess was still stunned when she thought about her husband being about to abandon them and their children, and she didn't know how to respond.

"My queen, for the sake of the Crown Prince... this is the best way."

After an unknown amount of time, the Crown Princess asked, "How do we deal with Ji Yan's granddaughter?"

Ji Yan’s granddaughter?

Su Xun then realized that it was Princess Jiahe who was invited to the Prince's Mansion to give acupuncture to His Highness.

"Since the queen is willing to believe me, I think that behind Princess Jiahe is not only Ji Yan, but also the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, and she is the adopted daughter of Her Royal Highness the Princess... So, you can ask her to leave."

Jiang Hao’s acupuncture skills…are no longer suitable for treating Your Highness.

"Leave behind an imperial physician, and Judge Qiu and the others can leave the palace."

……

Jiang Hao stood outside the Prince's Mansion, turned around, looked up at the plaque above the magnificent gate, and curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"County Lady, is there a carriage coming to pick you up?"

Qiu Zhizhong felt relieved when he came out. Seeing that Jiang Hao was still not leaving, he went to ask with a flattering face.

Hearing this, Jiang Hao turned his head to look at Qiu Zhizhong, and replied with a fake smile: "Mr. Qiu, it's late at night, let alone a carriage. It's curfew. If the three of us continue to stand here like this, what if we get caught..."

Qiu Zhizhong and the other man shuddered when they heard this, and turned around and ran into the alley...
