Cypress Boat Floating

"What's going on?" The prince slammed the table in anger, stood in front of the desk, supported his hands on the table, and stared at Peng Qi with wide eyes, as if the anger in his eyes was about to burst out.

The prince was so angry that he swept all the books on the table to the ground, and the papers and books were scattered all over the floor, making it a mess. Peng Qi quickly bent down to pick up the books, carefully observing the prince's expression while picking them up, for fear of angering him.

As a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue, Yan Zhen plays an important role in the Ministry of Revenue, has many students under him, and usually works hard for the prince. However, now Yan Zhen is in prison and his mansion is sealed, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the prince's power, making him angry and helpless.

"What is the identity of that woman? Why did she dare to beat the drum to complain?" the prince asked with gritted teeth, his heart filled with resentment and indignation.

"The woman's name is Lin Ruoyun, the daughter of a merchant in the capital. I heard that her father sent her sister to the Yan family without telling her. When she went to ask for her sister back, she was driven out by Lord Yan. So she went to beat the drum to complain and demand her sister back." Peng Qi answered truthfully, not daring to hide anything.

The prince frowned and his tone became increasingly stern: "What a Yan Zhen! He is so confused that he can't even control a woman and can be caught by others." He became more and more angry as he spoke, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

Seeing the prince getting angry, Peng Qi hurriedly advised, "Your Highness, calm down. This matter may not be hopeless."

The prince sneered and said sarcastically, "Turn around? How? The Yan Mansion has been sealed off, what else can I do?" His eyes flashed with disappointment and anger, as if he felt powerless about this result. "My father personally ordered Old Eight to handle it. Can't you see what he meant? He probably wants to use this opportunity to intimidate those powerful people in the capital and make them restrain themselves."

Peng Qi put the things he had packed on the table, looked up and observed the prince's expression. Seeing that he had calmed down a little, he slowly said, "This incident happened suddenly. How did Lin Ruoyun, a woman, know to beat the drum? How dare she beat the drum? We can start with her and investigate whether she was instructed by someone and who was behind her."

The prince remained silent, his face uncertain. The impact of Yan Zhen's incident on him was not small, but thinking about Peng Qi's words, the prince had to suspect Lu Zhixing. The person who benefited the most from the whole incident was Lu Zhixing. If it was really Lu Zhixing who did it, then he would not be able to sit and wait for death. Since the last incident with Li Boming, his father had been quite impatient with him. Now in addition to Lu Zhixing, there was also Lu Ci Qiu in the court, and his threats were increasing.

Peng Qi spoke again, "After what happened to Master Li last time, the Emperor's trust in you has become increasingly thin. If the Eighth Prince really wants to bite Yan Zhen, then we can only abandon the car to save the king. I believe that Master Yan will also understand your good intentions."

The Crown Prince was relieved of his resentment by Peng Qi's words, and his expression calmed down a bit. "Then you go and investigate whether the Second Brother is behind this. The Second Brother and the Eighth Brother are now targeting me everywhere in the court. It seems that I have to think of a way. Otherwise, they will only find all kinds of excuses and reasons to target me in the future."

The prince's instructions hit Peng Qi's heart, and he quickly agreed.
