As soon as He Jingan returned to the capital, he contacted Ji Ziyan. When Ji Ziyan saw him, he immediately came over and said, "There is no news about Xiao Ci in the south of the city. Grandfather is also under house arrest now."

"The Master has also been grounded."

"Yes, I went to discuss countermeasures with Prince Xiao, but he was sent away. Now His Majesty is obviously leaving Xiao Ci isolated and helpless. Moreover, after the Queen was sent to the cold palace, we also lost contact with the Queen."

He Jingan looked at Ji Ziyan like an ant on a hot pot: "Let me think about it, Ye Feng, you go to the south of the city first."

"Okay." Ye Feng turned around immediately, and He Jingan called him: "Be careful."

"Don't worry." He Jing'an watched Ye Feng leave, then pulled Ji Ziyan directly into the palace to meet the emperor. When Xiao Cheng saw He Jing'an, he was obviously incredulous.

"Why are you back?"

"Your Majesty doesn't want me to come back. Chengnan is in such a state now. Financial resources and medicinal materials are urgently needed. If I'm not here, Chengnan will probably not survive. Or does Your Majesty just want Chengnan to fend for itself?"

"He Jing'an, is this the attitude you use when talking to me?" Xiao Cheng threw the memorial in his hand directly. Ji Ziyan looked at He Jing'an in disbelief. He didn't expect that He Jing'an would be so... in front of His Majesty.

"Then your majesty is going to treat me like the regent? It would be better to throw me into the south of the city."

"He Jing'an..." He Jing'an is the Marquis of Chengyang. When the old Marquis of Chengyang passed away, he brought out all the merits of the founding fathers and the imperial edict in order to protect his grandson.

"Your Majesty, I only want to ask you one question. Do you really want that girl Nan Mu to die?"

Xiao Cheng didn't expect him to be so direct. Did he want Nan Mu to die? At least until now, if possible, he also hoped that Nan Mu could walk out of the south city safely.

However, because of the affairs of the Jiangnan clan, he had no choice but to be deserted by his friends and relatives. Even though Su Lan's power was no longer a threat, he could only keep moving forward. They had no way to retreat.

Xiao Cheng remained silent for a long time, then he said, "Since you are back, you can buy everything Chengnan has learned."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He Jing'an pulled Ji Ziyan away. Ji Ziyan didn't expect that it would be like this. It seemed to be going quite smoothly.

Xiao Cheng called out to He Jingan: "Ayi, how are you now?"

"Your Majesty, don't you know?" Because he really couldn't bear it, so he asked everyone to keep all the news about Xiao Yi secret.

"he···"

"He is a very bad person. If Your Majesty meets him, you will definitely regret it." After saying this, He Jing'an took Ji Ziyan away.

"How dare you speak to His Majesty like that?" Ji Ziyan didn't know much about He Jingan before.

"So what? As a subject, you should speak your mind. Your Majesty may think he is not wrong, but from my point of view, your Majesty has gone too far. Of course, I have to say that if an emperor does not have someone who is willing to tell the truth, then he is really finished."

"Marquis Chengyang, I was narrow-minded before."

"Don't use your pedantic thinking. Tell me what happened these days." Ji Ziyan nodded.

"Is it poison? Do you know how to detoxify it?"

"I have turned the Ji Mansion upside down, and now everyone around my mother is gone. I really have no other choice."

"You go back and take good care of the tutor first. Leave the matters in the south of the city to me." He Jing'an now wanted to go and see what was going on over at Ye Feng's place.
