After achieving his goal, Ruan Nanzhu did not interfere any further and led the imperial guards back to the palace to report.

His Majesty did not see anyone except Ruan Nanzhu. He was also stunned after hearing what Commander Ruan said. He raised his eyes and asked, "You said that the Crown Princess was kicked out by the Crown Prince?"

When Ji Yan and Xiao Hengshan rushed in with their men, the prince was the only one in the room, and they didn't find anyone else. So who else could it be besides the prince?

"Yes!"

Ruan Nanzhu thought for a moment, then said, "It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does look very ill."

Even he, an amateur, could tell from his face that the prince would not live long.

However, he just made a comment from an objective perspective, but it immediately made the emperor displeased.

Upon hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly, and a cold light flashed in his majestic eyes.

Ruan Nanzhu quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the emperor.

The emperor lowered his eyes and stared at Ruan Nanzhu, analyzing his words over and over again, recalling the prince's description of his haggard and sick appearance.

If he could frame his brother and deceive the emperor for the throne, then pretending to be seriously ill in order to survive would not be a difficult thing.

"Someone is coming."

Eunuch Qu hurried in from outside and stood carefully beside Ruan Nanzhu, waiting for the emperor's instructions.

However, I didn't hear the emperor speak for a long time.

Eunuch Qu began to feel anxious and worried when his superior finally spoke again: "Call Qiu Zhizhong."

"Yes."

Eunuch Qu retreated immediately as if he had been pardoned.

The emperor did not order Ruan Nanzhu to leave. After a while, he said, "After curfew, go to the abandoned prince's mansion."

……

In the evening, Jiang Hao received a message from Eunuch De in the palace that the emperor would go to the deposed prince's mansion tonight.

Jiang Hao knew that Eunuch De was trying to please her. No matter whether the deposed prince would have a chance to become the crown prince in the future, as long as the prince fell and the emperor cleared the deposed prince, the Ji Mansion would be in a completely different situation.

What's more, Jiang Hao is the future mistress of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, and the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion is the family of Concubine Shu...

No matter from which perspective, there is absolutely no harm in Eunuch De showing goodwill to Jiang Hao.

Ji Yan hasn't come back yet. I guess the Dali Temple prison tonight will be busier than ever before.

Although the prince and his family members cannot be punished, the counselors who are loyal to the prince are not so honored.

Apart from Ji Yan, Jiang Hao's reputation and status in the mansion have far surpassed that of Ji Zixuan, who is studying hard, so much so that he knows nothing about so many big things happening outside.

Not knowing has its advantages. Now, he really should study hard, and it won't be helpful for him to get involved in these things.

"The exam is approaching, so you should keep a close eye on the eldest master."

Jiang Hao was worried that Ji Ziyou would escape Ji Yan's control and take the opportunity to do something bad to Ji Zixuan, so he specifically told Yueying: "If you find Ji Ziyou plotting something bad, just kill him."

"Yes, I obey."

Xiangling and Xiangcao, who were standing by, felt a pang in their hearts when they heard this, and both felt thankful in secret.

Jiang Hao gently pushed away the two tigers that were already more than one meter long and begged for caress. After taking one more look at them, he stood up and said, "I'm going out tonight. You guys guard the gate and don't open it to anyone. Just say I don't see guests."

Today, there is no need for Vanilla to disguise herself as her.

Jiang Hao entered the city gate before the curfew and stayed at Yuelai Inn.

When the shopkeeper saw her face, he was completely numb...
