He originally wanted to wait for his son to grow up and pass the imperial examination so that the Xiao family could return to its former glory.

But all this was ruined by Han Zhiyu.

His son passed the imperial examination in his previous life, entered the cabinet at a young age, and became the prime minister at a young age, a high position among officials. Such a smart and intelligent child died in Han Zhiyu's hands.

Chu Feiyan didn't want to listen to him anymore, so she stood up and was about to leave, but she stopped at the steps and said, "Xiao Changchuan! I don't want to talk about the past anymore, but if I find out that you have done something to let the Duke of Wei down, the Gu and Han families will be your fate."

These were the last words she said to him. Since he had told her everything about his past life, she would spare his life this time.

"Chu Feiyan." Xiao Changchuan called her again, "The assassin who broke into the Duke of Wei's mansion in the previous life is very likely related to the royal family. Although I don't have evidence, I can be sure that it is related to the emperor. You can look into this aspect."

Chu Feiyan said nothing more and walked out of the pavilion.

She naturally knew that the killers were related to the royal family, but she had never found any evidence, and the whereabouts of the Dragon Hidden Order was still unknown.

Now that the emperor is dying, the person behind the scenes will soon emerge.

Prince An, let's see how long you can keep pretending?!

"Chu Feiyan, I wish you all the best! I hope you will be happy in this life and have many children and grandchildren." Xiao Changchuan murmured as he looked at her back.

He could already see that Chu Feiyan was pregnant.

His son died, but she became pregnant. Is this retribution?

Chu Feiyan probed into the space with his mind, "Crow, help me investigate Prince An's Mansion tonight."

If Long Shihua is Situ Feng's pawn, then they must have exchanged secret letters.

"Okay." The crow responded.

Chu Feiyan walked back along the path and saw Gong Beixuan walking towards him from the other end of the road.

Her expression changed slightly. When did this person come? Did he hear what she said to Xiao Changchuan?

"Ayan!" Gong Beixuan called her first.

"How did you get here?" Chu Feiyan stretched out her hand towards him.

"The emperor has woken up, so I came to find you." Gong Beixuan walked up to her and gently held her hand.

Speaking of the emperor, Chu Feiyan remembered what Xiao Changchuan had just said, gritted his teeth and asked, "How long can he live?"

Gong Beixuan glanced at the small pavilion and saw that Xiao Changchuan's figure had disappeared in the plum forest.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and he turned around and walked back side by side with Chu Feiyan, "Ayan, the emperor has his destiny, we don't have to rush."

Chu Feiyan was stunned when he heard this. Could it be that he had predicted something strange again?

"I hope it won't delay Ji Song and Dongmei's wedding." Chu Feiyan was in a very bad mood.

"The day I have calculated will not be delayed. Ayan, don't worry too much about revenge. The truth will eventually come out." Gong Beixuan advised her.

"I know, let's leave the palace!" Chu Feiyan didn't want to stay in this palace anymore.

"it is good!"

The two left the Plum Garden, found Zhao'er, and left the palace together. They went directly to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, had New Year's Eve dinner with their grandfather, and then kept watch together.

At night, the crows returned.

"Little girl, no suspicious objects or secret letters were found in Prince An's Mansion, nor are there any secret rooms or dark rooms like in other mansions."

"There isn't one?" Chu Feiyan was surprised. Could it be that they made a wrong judgment?

So many things happened before, no matter from which perspective you judge, they all point to Long Shihua.

But so far, they have not obtained any evidence related to Prince An and the Chu family's massacre.

Could it be the emperor?

"I'll go to the palace again." The crow said and left again.

An hour later, the crow came back, but also found nothing.

After the New Year, Gong Beixuan was called into the palace every few days to treat the emperor.

The days passed like this until the twelfth day of the first lunar month.

It is the wedding day of Jisong and Dongmei.

Because Ji Song did not hold an official position, he and Dongmei both requested that the wedding not be too high-profile to avoid criticism of the princess's mansion.

Chu Feiyan respected their wishes and only invited some familiar friends to the wedding.

But Dongmei still married from the princess's mansion. Ji Song came to marry her on a tall horse. The people who carried the sedan chair and the dowry were all brothers in the mansion. The wedding procession was filled with music and drums, and they married her away in a lively manner.

A few days later it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Because the emperor was seriously ill, no palace banquet was held.

Gong Beixuan was still often invited to the palace to treat the emperor. By the end of the month, the emperor was already terminally ill, and it was Gong Beixuan's medicine that kept him alive.

On this day, the emperor suddenly issued an imperial decree, ordering the Imperial Guards to seal off the Prime Minister's Residence and all members of the Hong family to be thrown into jail, shocking the entire Jinxiu City.

After hearing the news Xia An brought back, Chu Feiyan always felt that something was wrong.

Without any warning, the emperor suddenly sealed off the prime minister's house. This was very strange.

"What mistake did Prime Minister Hong make?"

Prime Minister Hong is the Queen's brother and the Prince's backer. Confiscating the Hong family would be equivalent to cutting off the Prince's wings. Why did the Emperor suddenly seal off the Hong family?

"It is said that the Hong family was corrupt and committed abusive acts, causing human loss of life."

"Shall we go into the palace and take a look?" Chu Feiyan said to Gong Beixuan.

"Yeah." Gong Beixuan stood up with a sullen face, took a cloak and put it on her, then he put one on himself, and the two of them entered the palace together.

Let Li Mei and Li Feng go to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, and tell the people in the mansion to try not to go out unless it is urgent.

Then she and Gong Beixuan brought Xia An into the palace.

When the imperial teacher entered the palace, no one dared to stop him. After entering the palace, they went directly to the emperor's Jingren Palace.

As soon as I walked in, I heard Queen Hong's voice.

"Your Majesty! The crown prince is the most important person in a country. If you suddenly abolish Rui'er's position as the crown prince, it will shake the foundation of the country and cause unrest in the court!"

Abandoned prince!

Chu Feiyan and Gong Beixuan were both shocked. The emperor actually wanted to depose the crown prince!

The matter of deposing the crown prince was of great importance, and it concerned the fate of the court. How could the emperor depose him so easily? Even Gong Beixuan, the imperial teacher, was not informed?

Has the emperor been ill for too long and his mind has become confused?

"Prime Minister Hong is corrupt and commits abuse of power, cough cough...buying and selling official positions, and harming people cough cough...life. His crimes are unforgivable. A crown prince must not have such a great family cough cough..." The emperor's voice sounded weak, but one could tell he was very angry.

"Your Majesty! My brother has been wrongly accused. Please investigate this matter."

"The Imperial Master is here! Princess Min'an is here!"

Gong Beixuan and Chu Feiyan walked into Jingren Palace and saw Queen Hong, dressed in plain clothes without any jewelry, kneeling in front of the dragon bed to plead with the emperor. The prince was also kneeling beside her with his head lowered.

Hearing that they were coming, Queen Hong's face lit up, and she turned around and knelt before Gong Beixuan, "Master Imperial Master, my brother was really framed. I beg you to re-investigate the Hong family's case and save them."
