After listening to Song Jin's words, the old emperor looked at him in a daze. After a long time, he spoke, but he did not issue an imperial decree to blame him. Instead, he asked him to go down and continue the investigation.

Cao Ci stood behind the old emperor, not daring to breathe. When the emperor was young, he hated such talk of ghosts and gods the most. Why did he not ask anything today and just let Song Jin go?

Not long after, he heard the emperor say, "Cao Ci, do you know what I asked on the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Ci suddenly got goose bumps all over his body, "Your Majesty, I don't know."

"I'm asking whether it was right or wrong to bring Concubine Li back to the palace." Concubine Li is the crazy woman in Jinghua Temple.

The old emperor laughed softly, "But I got it wrong three times. Cao Ci, do you think I was really wrong?"

"Now even Huachao County has seen this kind of thing... Do you think God is warning me?"

Cao Ci gritted his teeth and replied, "Your Majesty is the common ruler of the world, and we have to listen to you in everything. Besides, didn't Master Yuanyin say that whether it is allowed or not is in his heart?"

The old emperor fell silent and stood by the window for a long time. The confused aura on his body disappeared, and he once again became an emperor with a majestic aura without even getting angry.

After a long while, he said, "Let's go back to the palace."

...

Wen Yan left at dawn, still dressed as a man.

Wang Jiu rested here for two days, but had very little time to meet Wen Yan, which was a bit regrettable.

I was picking and choosing on the street yesterday and finally found a rose that looked nice. I planned to give it to Wen Yan... But by the time I had the chance to give it to her, it had already wilted.

He asked Chihu to help them clean up, while he looked at Wen Yan with a pale face and a smile.

Yue Xueshun saw this scene and couldn't help muttering, "Watch it every day, watch it every day, and laugh like an idiot..."

Wang Jiu naturally heard it, but he didn't take it to heart. When they were almost done, he handed over a small wooden box: "Madam Wen, this is for you."

Wen Yan opened the box and found a dagger inlaid with a gem. The blade flashed with a sharp cold light. "Dagger?"

"Yes," Wang Jiu nodded slightly, "When I'm not around, I hope he can protect you on my behalf."

When Wan Xiaqing heard there was a knife, she hurried over to take a look. Her eyes lit up and her slender fingertips ran across the blade: "Mom, this is a good thing!"

When she heard that it was a valuable item, Wen Yan quickly closed the box and said, "I can't take it."

But Wang Jiu didn't give her a chance to come back. He stepped back and waved his hand: "Let's go. Don't delay."

Yue Xueshun subconsciously touched the jade hairpin in his arms. He also had something to give to Sister Wen... He would talk about it after he got back.

Because of the loss of food, everyone must be checked from beginning to end before leaving the city.

The Wen family only had two carriages, and there was almost nothing inside except people, so they were easily allowed to pass.

Standing guard at the door were not only the people from Huachao County, but also the prince's men.

Jiang Suo looked at Wen Yan who was sitting in front of him and suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

The carriage was stopped.

He looked at Wen Yan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "What's your name?"

Wen Yan looked at him in confusion, "Sir, why are you asking my name?"

Wan Dongling in the carriage lifted the curtain and called out, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Jiang Suo looked at Wan Dongling's face, which was exactly the same as Wen Yan's, and thought that he must have made a mistake. That person had already been burned to death. Although they looked similar, they were definitely not the same person, and it was impossible for them to have such a big daughter...

"Nothing," Jiang Suo made way, "You guys go."

Watching the two carriages gradually going away, Jiang Suo still felt that this person was very similar to Miss Yun who was by the prince's side.

They, the subordinates, all saw how much effort Miss Yun put in when she was with the Crown Prince. If she hadn't been the Crown Princess... Miss Yun would never have died so miserably.

Jiang Suo sighed and continued to check the people coming and going.

But somehow, this matter still reached the ears of the prince.

When the prince summoned him, the prince was drawing in the study. Because His Majesty attached great importance to the case of the granary theft, he left the prince here to investigate the case.

"What does she look like?" asked the prince.

Jiang Suo realized belatedly that the prince wanted to ask what the person he met today looked like. "Your Highness, she looks about 70% similar to Miss Yun."

The prince stopped writing and waved for him to come over. "Look, does it look like it?"

On the table was a painting of a woman, who looked very vivid.

The painting was of Miss Yun. "Your Highness, I have questioned that lady. Although she looks similar, she is not Miss Yun. She has a teenage child."

"I know." Yuan Hesong said softly. He knew that the love of his life had died in the flames, but he was unwilling to believe it.

The Crown Princess who came outside to deliver soup heard this conversation and looked at the room in front of her with a distorted expression, her long nails digging deeply into the tray.

It’s Miss Yun again. From the beginning to the end, she was the one who stayed by his side. Why has the person in His Highness’ heart always been Miss Yun!

But she quickly adjusted her smile and stepped into the room.

No matter how beautiful Miss Yun was, she can only live in memories. Now the person who truly accompanies the prince is her.

One day, the prince will forget about that bitch and return to her.

Mo Yulian looked into the room with a smile, as if she had not heard their conversation at all. "Your Highness, the kitchen has cooked a nourishing soup, and I brought it to you. And this flower is the king of flowers for this Flower Festival. I bought it specially for Your Highness."

Yuan Hesong glanced at the gorgeous peony and nodded slightly, "I see, you go down first."

Mo Yulian clenched her fists and almost couldn't keep the smile on her face. In the end, she respectfully took her leave.

After leaving, Mo Yulian called her personal maid and said, "Go and find out who the Crown Prince is looking for and what his background is."

"Yes."
