In the capital, the atmosphere of today's morning court was particularly solemn. The reason was that early in the morning, all the major families had received news that refugees had broken into the farms on the outskirts of the capital last night and killed many people.

These are not the main points. The main point is that the person living on that farm is the granddaughter of the Prime Minister and the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites. And there is not only her, but also Yan Mingjue's wife, the eldest daughter of Lord Su, Su Qingwan.

Any of these two people comes from a prominent family background, not to mention that they almost got into trouble together.

The eldest prince immediately stood up and said:

"Father, this matter is of great importance and must be investigated thoroughly."

"Those refugees are too bold and must be severely punished."

Emperor Xuanwu frowned and glanced at his eldest son, his eyes full of disappointment.

As the eldest son, he is brave but not smart enough.

It was such an obvious thing, but they actually thought it was done by refugees.

That farm was so far away from the refugees, and the Lan and Yan families brought so many guards. How could ordinary refugees possibly provoke such a family?

As soon as the eldest prince finished speaking, the second prince also stood up:

"Father, what elder brother said is absolutely right."

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated."

"Governor Yan is still investigating corruption in Jingzhou, but his wife almost got into trouble. If Governor Yan knew about this, I'm afraid he would be upset."

Emperor Xuanwu was more pleasing to the ears of these words. He nodded and his expression softened a little.

At this time, Lan Xiang stood up:

"Your Majesty, fortunately, General Xiongyong led his men to hunt there yesterday, and the situation did not become irreversible."

"General Xiongyong has left many prisoners alive. They were interrogated all night last night. Your Majesty, please review this."

After saying this, Minister Lan presented the things that were recorded during the overnight interrogation.

Emperor Xuanwu became furious after reading it.

"What a courage!"

The other court officials lowered their heads and dared not speak, but they were all very curious about what Lan had done.

However, Emperor Xuanwu did not speak again, but announced the adjournment of the court.

After the court session ended, the ministers walked together in groups of three or four, while Su Yucheng walked next to Prime Minister Lan.

"Sir, who was responsible for what happened last night?"

This matter involved Su Qingwan, and Su Yucheng felt that he should stand up.

At least, judging from the current situation, the emperor is on their side.

Now that Yan Mingjue is not here, he can only stand up. In this way, the emperor will have a better impression of him.

Minister Lan knew Su Yucheng's character, but this matter did involve Su Qingwan. He hesitated for a moment and said:

"According to last night's interrogation, the target is that person."

Minister Lan pointed in the direction of the princess's mansion.

Su Yucheng understood what he said. In this way, the matter made sense.

Everyone in the capital knew that the eldest princess and her daughter did not get along.

But he didn't expect that the eldest princess was so bold that she actually dared to attack Su Qingwan.

Knowing the cause of the incident, he immediately confessed his crime to Lan.

"Miss Lan was implicated in this matter."

"Don't blame me, Minister Lan."

Lan Xiang shook his head.

Last night, his granddaughter came back and told him everything. Although he felt sorry for his granddaughter being frightened, he didn't feel implicated.

What he didn't expect was that Yan Mingjue actually came back just for Su Qingwan.

In this way, he felt more at ease about Yan Mingjue.

He had been observing Yan Mingjue for a long time and felt that he was a lone wolf and no one could restrain him. Such a person was actually very dangerous.

However, now, he felt a little more relieved. With Su Qingwan restraining him, Yan Ming would never go crazy.

Thinking of this, he looked at Su Yucheng and said:

"Lord Su, you gave birth to a good daughter."

As he said this, he patted Su Yucheng on the shoulder and then left.

Su Yucheng stood there for a long time thinking about what Lan Xiang meant by that. His heart skipped a beat and he felt a little regretful that his relationship with his eldest daughter had become so strained.
