When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

On the one hand, it is the emperor's attitude, and on the other hand, the prestige of the general's mansion still exists.

But this letter!

Haha, isn’t it bad enough that the entire Chen family was harmed by Chen Jiangkuan?

She even had to plead with the emperor for the third brother herself?

Why didn't she care about her elder brother's life or death? Why didn't she care about the difficulties of being a concubine?

Ha ha!

The eldest brother was not mentioned at all in the entire letter, but every word wanted her to take good care of the third brother.

A cold light flashed in Chen Fei's eyes.

In that case, she has to do something.

First, she went to see the emperor.

Although the emperor was dissatisfied with the Chen family, he still met her, but asked her to wait outside the door for half an hour before letting her in.

Concubine Chen knelt on the ground and handed the letter that her mother had finally sent to the emperor.

Even if it is possible that the emperor already knew about the letter.

Just imagine, how could the letter from the General's Mansion be hidden from the Emperor's eyes and ears at this time? How could it be possible?

The emperor held the letter in his hand without opening it. He asked:

"Do you have something to say to me?" the emperor asked unfriendlyly.

"Yes." Chen Fei answered neither humbly nor arrogantly.

She said: "Your Majesty, please severely punish the guards who are guarding the General's Mansion and punish them for the crime of dereliction of duty."

This was beyond the emperor's expectations.

Does he think that the Chen family is confused, or is Concubine Chen trying to find another way?

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say about the Chen family's affairs. I don't understand men's affairs, and I dare not interfere blindly, but I know that the decision your majesty made must be correct."

She wiped her tears and said:

"Although I feel sorry for my family, I am already a royal wife, and my thoughts and ideas are all about my husband. I supported my family when they were rich and powerful, but if they did something that harmed the country, I couldn't ignore the interests of my husband's family and blindly follow my own interests.

It's a pity for my eldest brother, he was influenced by my mother to form his current personality. If my father were still alive, he would have lived a few more years. "

She couldn't help sobbing a few times, then continued:

"The children my mother raised were bastards like the third child. My uncle once warned her not to interfere with the raising of children. When my father was alive, she could still be cautious, but after my father passed away, she...

The disaster that has happened to the family now is a necessary calamity, and whatever punishment the emperor wants is justified.

I just beg the emperor not to give up on my elder brother. He left his mother when he was young, so he misses her very much. Therefore, he listens to her words. It’s not that he is not good enough, but that his family members are holding him back.

Your Majesty, please give my brother a chance to study again and make up for the education his father missed. He will surely grow up to be the best general.

Really, Your Majesty, my father once said that my elder brother needs to be tempered before he can become a talent."

Concubine Chen looked at the emperor hopefully.

"Your Majesty, the success of a general is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of men! Talented generals are hard to come by, and you need to hone them constantly to become outstanding."

She lowered her head and said weakly:

"As for the Chen family, I can only say that they deserved it. I dare not plead for mercy."

Although Concubine Chen was pleading for General Chen in disguise, it was not difficult for the Emperor to accept it.

He put down the letter in his hand and said softly:

"Get up, I know what you're thinking, go back."

Neither agreed nor refused.

Concubine Chen took a few steps back respectfully before turning around and leaving. Her goal had been achieved. Her mother wanted to exchange the entire general's mansion for the third son's life.

She couldn't agree to that!

Why?

The glory of the General's Mansion was earned by her father with his life, but her mother couldn't do whatever she wanted. Why did she bring that waste back in exchange?

Come and bring trouble to the family again?

She is not the mother and has no good impression of the playboy.

He is not like his father at all, but rather like his mother - selfish, vain, ambitious, and completely incompetent.

Such a person is of no benefit to the family. He only takes advantage of the family and constantly causes trouble for the family.

After Chen Fei returned, she thought of her uncle. Since she had done it, she had to do it thoroughly.

She picked up her pen and wrote a letter to her uncle, telling him the contents of her mother's letter and also vaguely telling him some inside information.

His uncle is a clear-headed man, and she knows that her grandparents will definitely cooperate with her.

Sure enough, after the court meeting the next day, Chen Fei's uncle, Jiang Wen, the right vice minister of the Ministry of Rites, asked to see the emperor and talked with him for half an hour.

Then General Chen was transferred out of prison and confined in a small courtyard with a private entrance to recuperate.

No one is allowed to visit.

With the help of Prince Dongshan, Chen Jin, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, obtained evidence of collusion between the Ninth Prince and the Fourth Prince. Combined with the investigation results of General Xiao from the border town, he figured out the general outline of the case.

However, there are several important missing links and some inconsistencies.

For example, it seemed that these things were done by the Ninth Prince on behalf of the Fourth Prince, but after investigation, it was found that it was more like the Ninth Prince did it under the name of the Fourth Prince.

So why did the Ninth Prince do this?

Also, whether it was the Dongshan King robbery and murder case or the Lu Zhiang ambush and murder case, who revealed their routes of action?

Part of the gold mined from these mines was kept in the Fourth Prince’s mansion, but the other large part could not be accounted for, leaving a huge gap. Where did the gold go?

And where is the iron produced from iron ore transported?

If we have gold and iron, does that mean someone will raise an army?

Who raises the troops? Where can they be raised? Where do the troops come from?

The Secret Guard also handed him the results of investigations into some officials related to the case.

He knew that these were either instructed by the emperor or by Prince Dongshan.

However, putting these clues together, they all seem to be unrelated fragments. Chen Jin feels that ever since he became the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, his hair is about to be pulled out.

King Dongshan was also thinking about this question: Who could Laojiu help do these things?

My head is buzzing from thinking about it.

He pinched his brows and decided to let himself go and go out for a walk.

But there wasn’t even a decent garden in the palace. It’s not that there wasn’t a garden, because there was a garden, but there weren’t many flowers in it.

The fourth brother’s garden is full of precious exotic flowers and plants, while his own garden is full of weeds!

Ha ha!

Why is there such a big difference in being a prince!

Even though they were all weeds, he didn't dislike them and walked around here anyway. Xie Qi followed him closely.

King Dongshan said helplessly:

"You don't have to follow so closely. Relax a little in your own house."

Xie Qi had an icy face and said calmly:

"It is my duty to protect the prince."

King Dongshan glanced at him:

"I am just like the weeds in this garden. I am not some noble prince. I am the least valuable among all the princes."

He patted Xie Qi on the shoulder.

"So, you can rest assured."

Xie Qi: Do you have any misunderstandings about yourself?

However, as a good subordinate, he would not refute the words of his own prince.

But I still followed him as I pleased.

We must stick to our responsibilities.
