After the three returned to the capital, they were in a dilemma. They only knew that the head of the family rescued Aunt Li near the capital, but the capital was too large to use the death method to screen. The most important thing was that there were too many people with supernatural powers in the capital, which would easily attract attention.

They didn't intend to find out which house the head of the family had performed at that time, so as not to bring trouble to others, so they could only check Concubine De.

Defei is now confined to her home, as she is only concerned about the mission of assassinating the Crown Prince. She thinks that Wu Hualing cannot cause any big trouble, and has long forgotten about the matter of Wu Hualing.

But she completely forgot about the first word entering her dream.

If I could enter Concubine De's dream, all the secrets would be solved!

Xiaoqiao Liushui tried to use the name Chu Xiangsi to enter the dream. There are many people with the same name in the world, but they could not see Defei's memory. To be more precise, they had to enter the dream on the spot.

Defei knew their magical powers and would not let them get close to her. They could not sneak into the palace, so she thought of waiting for Xiangliu to come back and find a solution.

After hearing everything, Xiangliu nodded and signaled Qingfeng to tell Xu Ying and the others about their findings.

Qingfeng recounted the story in vivid detail.

The only common point in all the information is the word "Li".

Yunchuan wondered, "Could it be the same person?"

Xiangliu: "Are there any portraits of the two people?"

Wu Hualing took out the portrait of Aunt Li, and Qingfeng took out the letter, "This is all we have..."

The waiters gathered around to admire the woman in the painting. She was truly incredibly beautiful, gorgeous and stunning.

Xiang Liu and Ye Chenshang leaned against each other, thinking in their hearts. Now that the intelligence was combined, it was Dong Huang who conspired with his maid to murder Chu Xiangsi, and the two were in love. They secretly gave birth to Rao Yan and raised her in Dongguo, but her original purpose of marrying her to Nan Huang was unknown.

Qingfeng: "How about... we take this portrait and go to the East Country to investigate? See if this person is the biological mother of Prince Zhao?"

Xiang Liu shook her head. "Didn't you say that the official who recommended her to the palace was dead? It was less than a year from the time she entered the palace to the time she gave birth. There wouldn't be many clues left."

Wu Hualing reacted immediately, "Is there a date on the letter?!"

Xu Ying picked up the letter. "The date on the letter is the tenth year of the Hongnian period of the Southern calendar? Was it written in the South?"

Wu Hualing: "My family was the one that was destroyed that year."

The room was silent for a while, and everyone realized that it was very likely that Aunt Li was not dead, but had fled to the East Country and used some means to infiltrate the East Country's royal family to ensure her own safety. The most dangerous place is the safest.

Waiter: "Then...whose child is Prince Zhao?"

Yunchuan: "It must be Donghuang's. He has the power of the Dongguo royal family."

Waiter: “Oh, yes, yes!”

Ye Chenshang sighed slightly, "We have a lot of clues now, but no substantial evidence."

Qingfeng stood up from his chair immediately and said, "I'll go get that witch doctor to testify!"

Qingfeng hurried out, Xiao Le held him back, "Why are you so anxious? Listen to the master's orders!"

Qingfeng shrank back, "Oh..."

Everyone in the room was waiting for Xiangliu's orders, and they all obeyed her commands.

But Xiangliu only cares about force, and the best way to get it is... "It would be best to catch them all in one fell swoop."

Ye Chenshang reacts quickly and is smarter than Xiangliu. "Will Donghuang come to Raoyan's wedding?"

The two looked at each other, hit it off, and came up with an idea.

Xiang Liu: "Xiao Le, are you sure you can fight against Dong Huang?"

Xiao Le was a little puzzled, "In terms of divine power?"

Qingfeng confidently interrupted, "No problem!"

Xiao Le stared at him in confusion, "The Lord is asking me!"

Qingfeng: "Believe me, you are better than him."

Well...okay...

Xiao Le: "My Lord, I'm fine."

Xiang Liu: "Then give her parents a big gift at Rao Yan's wedding."

Ye Chenshang: "The confession of the person involved is more effective than any evidence."

On the second day, a banquet was held in the palace to welcome the Crown Prince. Most of the participants were members of the royal family. It was a welcome banquet for the Crown Prince, which also showed that the relationship between the Emperor of the South and the Crown Prince was back to normal and that the Crown Prince had returned in strength.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious since Concubine De did not come today. After the Southern Emperor gave the Crown Prince a name with a smile, the banquet began.

Xiang Liu and Ye Chenshang sat down below to join in the fun. They had to behave themselves at the Prince's welcoming banquet. After all, it was the first important occasion since their brother's return.

After the welcoming banquet, the Southern Emperor handed over most of the power to the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince became busy. Xiang Liu and Ye Chenshang often went to the palace to help the Crown Princess take care of Baoer. The Southern Emperor liked Baoer so much that he insisted on letting their family live in the palace so that he could visit them often.

Inevitably, there will be ministers in the court who say that the crown prince was able to return to the court only because of the crown prince's grandson, and that his power was won by the Southern Emperor's love for the crown prince. The crown prince does not care much about it, and what matters most is to do practical work and consolidate his power.

Ever since the Crown Prince returned, everything has been peaceful and calm in the palace, except for Concubine De's palace which is dead silent.

Concubine De had been sulking, and was very unhappy that Emperor Nan had ignored her because of the Crown Prince's return.

On the day the prince returned to the city, Concubine De was actually very nervous.

The prince's safe return proved that her plan had failed. If the prince found out that it was her doing, she would be finished.

But after several days, the Southern Emperor did not punish her. She was very glad that she had issued a death order, that if she failed, she would die. This was how she was not caught.

Mu Ling's indulgent and playful life is now also controlled by the prince. When the officials saw that the prince had returned, no one fawned on him anymore, no one coaxed him, and his father no longer doted on him. He went to his mother to tell her about his grievances, but was lectured by her again. He felt so aggrieved.

Seeing that the Crown Prince's power was almost secure, but Raoyan's wedding date had not yet been decided and the Southern Emperor did not come to see her, Concubine De had no choice but to swallow her pride and go to the Southern Emperor to discuss the wedding date.

Emperor Nan was quite surprised to see her coming, and only then did he realize that he had ignored her for a long time.

So the two of them happily discussed the date and set the wedding date.

"Your Majesty~" Concubine De held the Southern Emperor's hand. After the discussion, Concubine De wanted to be intimate with the Southern Emperor for a while.

The Southern Emperor pulled her hand away and said, "It's time for me to go and accompany Bao'er. Do you have anything else to present?"

"But... Your Majesty has not visited my palace for a long time..." Defei felt a little aggrieved.

The Southern Emperor perfunctorily replied, "I'll go tomorrow. Yes, tomorrow!"

After saying this, he walked past Concubine De and hurried out.

Concubine De stood there resentfully, watching him go away, feeling extremely angry.

After returning to her own palace, Concubine De sent a letter back to the East Kingdom, hoping that the Emperor of the East could attend Raoyan's wedding, and it would be best if he could come to put pressure on the Emperor of the South to help her regain favor.

She was very angry that the Southern Emperor abandoned her after gaining power!

In the East Kingdom Palace, the East Emperor's eyes were deep after receiving the letter. The East Emperor was already very unhappy about marrying Rao Yan to a minister, so he planned to set out to denounce the Southern Emperor.

"Pass on my order, gather the men, and prepare to set off to the Southland."

"Yes!"

Raoyan's wedding date is approaching, and the palace has begun to be decorated. Raoyan sits in the room with a shy face, watching the palace people decorate the new room, full of expectations for the future.
