Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Xiao Zuochen stood aside without saying anything, and looked carefully at the five cases recorded on the paper roll. These cases had always been handled by the Dali Temple, and Xiao Zuochen didn't pay much attention to them at first. But the cases lasted for almost a month and there was still no clue, so Xiao Zuochen felt that he had to take action.

I looked carefully at these cases, including the sixth case today.

"From a time perspective, the time intervals between these cases are getting longer and longer."

"Yes, the Dali Temple also discovered this, but did not find any connection."

"My dear Zhen, please make a copy of this case file and send it to the King of Chu later."

"Yes."

Xiao Zuochen smiled slightly, agreeing to his father's request. The emperor wanted him to participate in this case.

"Father, why don't you make another copy and send it to my brother?"

"Hmm? Third brother?"

The emperor was a little confused. Why did the sixth son actually speak up for the third son, who was such a rebellious son?

"No, it's Big Brother."

"Prince Qing? Isn't Prince Qing busy with pension issues recently? Besides, he hasn't handled any cases at the Dali Temple, so there's no need to give him any."

The emperor did not expect that the sixth brother wanted the eldest brother to participate in this matter. The third brother was originally a stumbling block for the sixth brother, so he did not want another eldest brother to appear at this time.

Xiao Zuochen naturally didn't know what his father was thinking, but it was obvious that he didn't want the eldest prince to get involved in this matter. But it didn't matter.

"Yes."

"Well, since we can't see anything right away, let's all leave. Come to my study to discuss this matter after the morning court tomorrow."

"Yes~"

Everyone bowed and left.

Before leaving, General Wang pulled Xiao Zuochen's clothes.

"Your Highness Prince Yun, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"

"it is good."

After they left the room, Zhen Yingqing saw that they still had something to say, so he left first. General Wang and Xiao Zuochen walked aside.

"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Yun, for telling my wife how to deal with this. Otherwise, the Third Prince would not have been punished."

"General Wang, what you said is not true. General Wang is a pillar of the country. Father will definitely give you a satisfactory arrangement."

"Don't comfort me, Your Highness Prince Yun. I have been with my father since I was born. I have experienced not only the blind swords and guns on the battlefield, but also the emperor's mind. I have also seen a lot of things my father has experienced. It is said that the emperor does not favor the third prince, but no matter what, the third prince is his son. No matter what the third prince does, the emperor will protect him.

This time, His Highness gave my wife some hints, which made the Emperor willing to put aside some of his pride and compensate me."

Xiao Zuochen smiled helplessly after hearing this. Indeed, even if General Wang died at the hands of the Third Prince because of this misunderstanding, his father would not do anything to the Third Prince, but would only give him some mild punishment. General Wang also understood the emperor's intention.

"General, you misunderstood. I didn't say anything. It's true that the general was injured too badly and couldn't stand the carriage, so he was delayed for a few days. I think the general's injury has not healed yet. The sun is very hot today, and the general is weak. He should go back and have a good rest. After all, my third brother is still waiting to apply medicine to the general~"

Xiao Zuochen said this with a smile, telling General Wang that there was only one explanation for the matter, and also reminding General Wang that no matter whether his injury had healed or not, he had to continue pretending to be sick and curb his third brother's arrogance.

"Ouch~"

General Wang also understood what was going on. He immediately covered his head with his hand, supported himself against the wall with his other hand, and leaned his whole body to one side.

Xiao Zuochen also reached out his hand and supported him with a somewhat panicked look.

"General Wang, are you okay?"

Xiao Zuochen's voice was deliberately louder. The Third Prince, who was standing far away and didn't dare to come over, also heard Xiao Zuochen's voice. He was stunned for a moment, and then his attendant Li Lei reminded him that it seemed that General Wang was about to faint, so he had to rush over.

"General Wang, are you okay?"

The third prince rushed over and stretched out his hand as if to help General Wang, but General Wang dodged when he saw his hand.

"I cannot bear the support of the Third Prince."

As a result, the Third Prince had nothing in his hands. He, who had always been treated well in the palace, had an expression on his face that said, "Who cares about helping you?" This expression was just seen by the Emperor who came in after hearing the noise.

"Rebellious son! Are you mad at General Wang again? Why don't you apologize!?"

"I!?"

The third prince was also startled when he saw the emperor suddenly come out of the house. Before he could salute, he was scolded by the emperor again. However, Wang Zhongming and Xiao Zuochen on the side did not explain for him.

"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. My Highness came to help General Wang because he saw him fainting."

Li Lei, who was behind the Third Prince, spoke.

"Do you have a say in this?"

The emperor even disliked the third prince's entourage.

Li Lei quickly shut up and lowered his head.

"Is what he said true?"

The emperor turned to Xiao Zuochen and asked, the sixth brother would not frame the third brother.

"Indeed, Third Brother is thoughtful."

Xiao Zuochen also told the truth. If his father had not asked, he would not have taken the initiative to defend his third brother. But since his father asked, there was no need to frame the third prince for such a small matter.

"Well, that's what he should do!"

No matter what the third prince does, the angry emperor will not give him a good look.

The third prince also felt wronged, but he didn't dare to refute or say much, so he could only stand there stupidly.

"Oh, Your Majesty, I feel very dizzy and want to go back home immediately."

General Wang started to play the victim again at the right time.

"Okay, okay! Don't worry, my dear. I will let this rebellious son take you back home right away!"

The emperor coaxed him with the word "General Wang" and then looked up and glared at the third prince.

"Why don't you send General Wang back home?!"

"My son, I obey."

The third prince immediately stepped forward again and was about to reach out to support Wang Zhongming, but when he thought about how he had just dodged, he didn't know whether to help or not.

"What are you thinking about? Why don't you support General Wang!?"

The emperor urged from the side, asking how could this rebellious son be so stupid?

The Third Prince was frightened by the Emperor and quickly supported General Wang. This time General Wang did not avoid him, but said something weakly.

"I'll have to trouble you, Third Prince~"

What? Just now he said with full strength that he couldn't bear to be supported by me, why is he pretending to be weak this time?

So the Third Prince helped General Wang out of the palace in confusion and got on the carriage back to the General's Mansion.

"The minister also resigned."

After seeing the Third Prince and General Wang go ahead, Xiao Zuochen also bowed to the emperor.

"Well, go ahead~ Go back home and have a good rest."

"Yes~"

But after Xiao Zuochen left the palace, he did not go directly back to Prince Yun's Mansion or Yun Mansion, but went to Yuxian Tower first.

At this time, Chu Yao also left the Yun Mansion and came to a private room in a restaurant in the city, leaning against the window to drink tea.

“Haha~ It still feels good to spend money!”

Chu Yao stretched lazily and played with the jade cup in his hand.

"Little Lord!"

At this time, a man in black dressed in a tight suit suddenly flashed in, knelt on one knee, and was very respectful. Chu Yao glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth that were originally raised suddenly cracked, and his voice was also full of anger.

"You are late!"
