After Emperor Wen returned from the Xianwang Mansion, he was so angry that he called all the secret guards and scolded them: "What were you doing in the Xianwang Mansion? Why did you let Blood Shadow enter the Xianwang Mansion?"

The leader of the secret guards knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty! We were...were ambushed by the secret guards of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince! All the secret guards were knocked unconscious!"

Emperor Wen was furious: "You mean they knocked you out and then got themselves into trouble? Are they that stupid?"

The leader of the secret guards asked his men to call two people over. He said to Emperor Wen: "Your Majesty, one of these two is the spy for the crown prince, and the other is the spy for the third prince!"

The spy at the crown prince's place reported back: "Your Majesty, in the Xianwang Mansion, the crown prince sent someone to injure Prince Xiao, hoping to frame the third prince. At the same time, he could also accuse the second prince of protecting the crown prince! He had someone disguise himself as Wen Fu and tricked Prince Xiao out! I don't know what happened afterwards!"

Emperor Wen looked gloomy. The prince's personality was most like his own. But all his strategies were still too immature!

He raised his hand to signal another person, and the spy from the Third Prince said: "The Third Prince wants to get into trouble with the Second Prince so that he can frame the Crown Prince! But before he could act, someone..."

Emperor Wen said angrily: "They want to do these things under my nose, and they are not afraid of me, their father! My secret guards all know that they knocked you out in order to blind my eyes so that I can't find out what they did!"

"Is there anything in this world that they dare not do? They will snatch my throne away sooner or later! Can they also take my life at any time? You bunch of rubbish! Go and ask Changchou of the Jinwu Guard to protect me!"

Emperor Wen sat down on the dragon throne in a depressed mood: "Go and check! Check it out for me, how did things turn out like this? That Li Jingshu is obviously lying! Find out what she is hiding!"

An imperial edict arrived at the home of the Minister of Justice Zhang Liu, and Emperor Wen ordered Zhang Ji to marry the Eighth Princess three days later!

Zhang Ji and his mother Zhuang were extremely happy. Zhang Ji was a notorious fool in the capital city. He was neither good at literature nor martial arts and was an extremely mediocre person.

He was over 25, and no lady from aristocratic family was willing to marry him. Zhang Liu thought that he could just find a girl from an ordinary family for him, but he didn't expect that he was obsessed with the eighth princess Chu Caiwei from the two beauties in Shangjing!

The two beauties of Shangjing are not praising Chu Caiwei and Luo Lingyue, this is a complete derogatory term! These two are both famous love-crazy girls in Shangjing, one is obsessed with Prince Xiao, and the other has wild thoughts about the prince!

Zhang Liu sighed on the side, and Zhuang said with a smile: "Master! Why are you unhappy? Ji'er is the consort of the emperor!"

Zhang Liu had a worried look on his face: "What is there to be happy about? We are the Third Prince's people, but now Ji'er wants to marry the Crown Prince's sister! Do you think the Third Prince will dare to use us in the future?"

Zhuang was stunned. She was so focused on having fun that she hadn't thought of this.

The third prince was born to Concubine De, who was Zhang Lijun, the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family and Zhang Liu's younger sister.

The Third Prince is now fighting the Crown Prince to the death! And the Third Prince's incident this time was most likely instigated by the Crown Prince to do this to Li Jingshu!

Now that Zhang Ji has become the prince's brother-in-law, who should he help in the future? Isn't this putting the Zhang family on the spot?

Dali Temple Minister Lu Zheng and Jingzhao Yin Lang Ming were so busy that they checked all the guests who were present that day. Except for the injured Luo Lingyue and Xiao Shizi, everyone else was suspected...

Luo Lingyue was eating peach blossom cakes and drinking fragrant tea in the clinic that she cherished as her life. She was so comfortable!

As early as when she was in Prince Xian's Palace, she had sent a message to Mu San, asking him to spread the news that the Crown Prince had snatched horse food in the stable and that the Third Prince was a homosexual!

The Crown Prince and the Third Prince must be extremely worried right now!

As for Li Jingshu's claim that Blood Shadow had come to the Xianwang Mansion that day? Luo Lingyue narrowed her eyes. Even she didn't see Blood Shadow. It was probably Li Jingshu's attempt to cover up her plot to harm the Third Prince.

Luo Lingyue curled her lips. Although Emperor Wen had entrusted the matter to the Dali Temple and Jingzhao Yin to investigate, given his suspicious nature, he would definitely ask the secret guards to investigate at the same time.

Luo Lingyue put down the peach blossom pastry in her hand, put on a red dress, changed her appearance, and sneaked out of the pharmacy.

Lu Zheng interrogated the man who was in the third prince's room that day. The ugly man was called Niu Erbao, a scoundrel from Shangjing City. After a beating, he told the whole story.

His face was covered with tears and snot: "Sir! Someone gave me one thousand taels of silver to go to the Xianwang Mansion..."

Lu Zheng said sternly: "You know that the person you killed is a prince! It's enough to kill all your clans!"

Niu Erbao was horrified: "My Lord! Lord Qingtian! I don't know what happened. They asked me to harm Luo Lingyue! I was knocked unconscious as soon as I entered the house! I don't know anything after that!"

Lu Zheng was confused for a moment. Why would he go to harm Luo Lingyue? He looked further and found nothing.

Lu Zheng found Lang Ming and asked, "Lord Lang! What do you think about this?"

Lang Ming glanced at him and said, "What truth do you think His Majesty wants? Now the people in the capital all know that the crown prince stole horse food! The third prince has a unique taste! The eighth princess and others... Alas! This royal family is losing face! How can you investigate?"

Lu Zheng clasped his fists and said, "Brother Lang! This? I still don't understand. Since Li Jingshu wants to harm Luo Lingyue, arrest Li Jingshu and interrogate her!"

Lang Ming's face was twisted with anger: "You idiot! You dare to touch the Prime Minister's daughter! If I weren't tied to you, I wouldn't want to bother with you, a wooden fish head! I can't mess with the emperor's son, I can't mess with the Prime Minister's daughter, don't you know that you are pushing it to Xueying!"

Lu Zheng said with a straight face: "This...cannot wrongly accuse a good person!"

Minglang: “…” What a fool!

After the truth was finally uncovered, the two case files placed before Emperor Wen both stated that the situation was caused by the two princes' mutual infighting.

Emperor Wen took a look and threw the file into the fire!

Luo Lingyue held two files in her hand, one from the Dali Temple and one from Emperor Wen's secret guards. Both files tacitly attributed what happened that day to Blood Shadow.

This current situation is what Emperor Wen is most satisfied with. The Crown Prince and the Third Prince have become a joke in the court and in the hearts of the people!

I guess I won’t be able to jump up for a long time!

The eighth princess lay on the table in the queen's bedroom and cried: "Mother! Please! I don't want to marry that idiot! I like Brother Han! Wuwu..."

The queen's face was gloomy: "Shut up! Get out of here!"

The Crown Prince and the Eighth Princess made her lose face in the harem! Emperor Wen confined the empress for not disciplining her properly and took away her power over the harem.

Now Concubine An is in charge of the harem on behalf of the Queen!

As the legitimate princess, the Eighth Princess did not have a grand wedding because of the scandal.

The crying Eighth Princess was stuffed into the wedding sedan and sent to Zhang's Mansion.

Xiao Jinghan, who had been recuperating in Prince Xian's mansion for three days, finally woke up.

In the secret room of the palace, Consort Xian knelt down in front of Xiao Jinghan excitedly: "I, Xu Lian, finally get to see the prince!"

Xiao Jinghan said with a pale face: "Princess Xian! You are not my slave!"

Xu Lian's eyes were filled with tears: "My prince, my father is a servant of the Wu'an Palace! He is Xu Zheng, the follower of the Wu'an Prince! Before my father passed away, he wrote a letter to my mother, saying that the Wu'an Prince was poisoned by the Blue Sky Poison! And your grandfather was also poisoned by the Blue Sky Poison!"

Xiao Jinghan's pale face turned ashen. Few people in Dazhao Kingdom knew about the Blue Sky Poison because the Blue Sky Poison belonged to the royal family of Youli Kingdom.

Could it be that the deaths of my grandfather and father are related to my mother’s hometown?
