During the conversation, both parties were actually not at peace. After Dr. Mo left with a look of disappointment, Song Xile looked at her husband who had been silent the whole time.

She wanted to say something to comfort him, but in the end she didn't. She just sat quietly beside her husband.

How can one not feel sad when one has not even met one's loved ones and they have already passed away?

He needs time to digest the bad news.

After a long while, Chen Yunyou finally spoke, "Xile, I want to go to the capital! I have to avenge my father!"

Without any extra words, Song Xile said bluntly: "Okay, I'll go with you!"

After dinner, the guard next door came over and said, "My master has woken up, and I want to invite you two over for a chat!"

The couple did not hesitate and followed the guard to the next room.

Li Xin had woken up at this time. He was leaning against the head of the bed, looking at the door with burning eyes.

Seeing the person coming, Li Xin quickly stood up and was about to shake Chen Yunyou's hand.

But his injuries had not healed yet, and any movement would affect the wound.

Doctor Mo hurried forward to help him lie down, and advised gently: "The crown prince is still injured, don't get excited."

Li Xin waved his hand, indicating that he was fine. His eyes wandered over Chen Yunyou's face, and he said with emotion: "Sure enough, he is of the same lineage as Lord Xie. I seem to see the Lord when he was young."

"Doctor Mo has just told me about your life story. It was the Prince's Mansion that implicated you!"

Chen Yunyou's thoughts were in turmoil, and he didn't want to talk about the past.

He lowered his eyelids gently and said in a gentle voice: "Grandson, you are too kind. As a minister, it is my duty to stabilize the government. Even if it happens again, I believe that I will do the same."

Seeing his humble attitude, Li Xin thought of his own difficult situation and how he really needed capable help.

He thought for a moment and asked the people in the room to leave first.

When there were only three people left in the room, he glanced at Song Xile and saw that the other party was indifferent.

Just as he was about to ask him to leave, Chen Yunyou stopped him, "Grandson, just say whatever you want to say. My wife can make the decision for me!"

The Crown Prince looked at the two of them in surprise, but finally did not insist on this issue.

He coughed lightly and said, "Before leaving Beijing, my father told me a secret privately - my grandfather has secretly issued an order, ordering your uncle to lead an elite force to enter Beijing quietly."

Having said that, he paused, his eyes moving between the two of them, as if observing their reactions.

Seeing the two people's serious expressions, he continued, "As for me, this investigation in Nanyun County is to expose the evidence of the Fourth Uncle's collusion with foreign races, privately raising soldiers and horses, and his evil intentions."

"Each piece of this evidence is enough to shock the government and the people, and shake the foundation of the country. I must take them back to the capital and report to my grandfather."

"But now my whereabouts have been exposed, and there are too many people outside who want to kill me. If you two help me! Once I punish the treacherous villains, the Prince's Mansion will reward me handsomely!"

After saying so much, Li Xin just wanted to tell them that now the emperor is on their side, and your uncle is also on our side. As long as you succeed in overthrowing the Fourth Prince, you will be credited with following the dragon.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you stand on the right side, it is only a matter of time before your wife and children are honored with titles in the future.

Chen Yunyou was somewhat moved except for hearing that his uncle had secretly come to Beijing, but his expression remained calm afterwards.

Just when Li Xin was thinking about whether to add more weight.

Chen Yunyou said, "We can escort you to Beijing, but I have a request, I want to ask the Crown Prince for help!"

"But it doesn't matter!"

"I would like to ask the prince to help me investigate who ambushed my parents back then? As a son, I swear to find out the truth and bring the murderer to justice!"

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. "Don't worry, my Prince's Mansion will never let this thief go. We will definitely track him down to the end and will not show any leniency."

There is no need for the other party to beg for this matter. They in the Prince's Mansion will do their best to investigate. This is not only to give an explanation to the Xie family, but also to make the attitude clear to all the old subordinates who followed the Prince's Mansion.

It’s not good to disappoint people!

Seeing that the other party agreed, Chen Yunyou proposed some arrangements for the journey, such as disguising themselves as an escort agency and a caravan, as well as disposing of all the horses and purchasing mules, donkeys and other livestock.

There was nothing that could be done about it. How could they afford horses as they were playing the role of a small caravan?

In this era, horses were a strategic material, and half of the merchant families could not afford them.

What's more, there are five or six of them at a time.

Song Xile thought that the reason why their whereabouts were exposed was most likely because of the mounts they were riding.

Since Li Xin chose to trust the two men, there was no need for him to hesitate. He directly took out three hundred taels of silver notes and handed over all matters to the two men.
