Prince Jin left the Eastern Palace. The Crown Princess looked outside and slowly asked, "Does Your Highness believe what he said?"

The prince sneered: "You believe what a fool says?"

Jian Songyue curled her lips: "Your Highness, there is no need to bury me in such words. Prince Jin is your Majesty's son. If Prince Jin is a fool, then what is Your Highness?"

The prince choked and asked angrily, "Will the person you mentioned come or not?"

"Your Highness, why are you so anxious? Back then, Your Highness waited an entire night for the Prince of Yan to help you. Are you unable to bear it now?"

The prince narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Jian Songyue, don't think I can't hear it. The Prince of Yan is my brother. No matter what, it's better than being a traitor."

Jian Songyue knew what the prince wanted to say, but she would not be angry at this point. Her good days were about to come.

"Your Highness, Prince Jin is right. You are the Master of the Eastern Palace, but isn't His Majesty's meaning obvious? If Your Highness continues like this, the position of Crown Prince will be in jeopardy."

The prince gritted his teeth and looked at Jian Songyue fiercely.

Jian Songyue sneered: "Your Highness, why are you looking at me like this? I didn't cause your current situation."

The prince didn't say anything, but he knew that since Jian Songyue had someone else behind her, the Jian family had a new backer and naturally didn't need a useless person like him.

However, the Jian family miscalculated.

Jian Songyue kept looking outside. The palace servant beside her came in and whispered something in her ear. Jian Songyue finally smiled: "Your Highness, someone is coming."

When Xiao Yinnan came in, the prince was surprised for a moment. The person behind Jian Songyue was actually Xiao Yinnan?

Is this the wild man of Jian Songyue?

Xiao Yinan stepped into the store and bowed respectfully to the prince, "Greetings, Your Highness."

A smile suddenly appeared in the Crown Prince's cold eyes. "General Xiao, you are too polite. You are now a favorite of His Majesty. I dare not ask you to salute."

Hearing this, Xiao Yinnan straightened up and sat down opposite the prince.

"Your Highness, we don't need to be so formal. Your Highness probably knows the reason for my visit today. Your Majesty loves the Prince of Yan and intends to have him replace Your Highness. Aren't you anxious?"

The prince remained calm and said, "I was given this position by His Majesty. If you can give it, you can take it back. Why am I so anxious?"

The prince was more patient than Xiao Yinnan had imagined, but... what kind of trouble could a useless person cause?

"Your Highness has been refusing to hand over the affairs under his command these days. Isn't it because he doesn't want to hand over what he has to the Prince of Yan?"

Those trivial government affairs are secondary; the most important thing is the military token.

With that military token, no one would dare to act rashly even if he only had the title of crown prince.

"Your Highness cannot keep the things in your hands, but if the King of Yan takes them away, there will be no possibility of getting them back."

Prince Yan is not a fool like Prince Jin, and he will not be caught by others. Prince Jin is now in a desperate situation, and Your Majesty must deal with the Chen family. Now their common enemy is Prince Yan.

"Your Highness doesn't want to lose his position in the Eastern Palace, and I only want Prince Yan's life. If we join forces, wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?"

The prince looked at Xiao Yinnan in front of him and started to make plans in his mind. Xiao Yinnan was now a favorite of His Majesty. If he could make friends with him, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. However, such a person could not be trusted. Once the matter was over, he must be eliminated immediately.

"General Xiao, do you have any ideas?"

"Of course there is a way. Your Highness can just wait for my news. This will be my stepping stone to join your service."

Prince Yan sent Jiang Nian away, which was exactly what Xiao Yinnan wanted. He didn't want Jiang Nian to see him killing someone.

"Okay, in that case, I will wait for your good news."

After saying this, he pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "General Xiao has no grudge against King Yan, why is it like this... Oh, I forgot that when it comes to snatching women, General Xiao is not as good as King Yan."

He had also heard about the drama in the East Palace where three men competed for one woman.

Looking at Jian Songyue, the prince deliberately said: "Last time on the Queen's birthday, I met General Xiao's sweetheart."

Xiao Yinnan's brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes, which had never been able to smile, were now filled with frost.

Jian Songyue was stunned and looked at Xiao Yinnan in surprise.

"Why, the Crown Princess doesn't know? Our General Xiao originally wanted to marry the Prince of Yan's concubine, but unfortunately he couldn't win over the Prince of Yan and lost the beauty."

The prince glanced between the two of them as if he was enjoying a good show, smiled, called the people around him, and pushed his wheelchair away.

Jian Songyue still doesn't know what Xiao Yinnan is thinking, and still delusionally hopes that Xiao Yinnan can take her out of the East Palace. It's really a pipe dream.

"Alright, General Xiao, please discuss the rest with the Crown Princess. I'm so lonely."

As soon as the prince left, Jian Songyue looked at Xiao Yinnan with a sullen face.

"General Xiao, shouldn't you explain?"

Xiao Yinnan suppressed the gloom in his words, stroked Jian Songyue's face, and his face was full of tenderness.

"You know, both the Prince of Jin and the Prince of Yan want to marry her. There must be some benefit. Naturally, I have to find out."

"It's not that I want to marry her, but I want to see what those two people want from her."

Jian Songyue was skeptical: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Didn't I promise you that once I accomplish my great task, you and your Jian family will be heroes and it will be the greatest honor."

"So, don't think too much. I am sincere to you. I won't like anyone else except you." As he said that, he took Jian Songyue into his arms.

The tenderness in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

Restraining his disgust, Xiao Yinan sneered in his heart. Compared with Jiang Nian? He's not even worthy of carrying her shoes.

But the Jian family is a noble family, and as long as he has Jian Songyue, the Jian family can be used by him.

Once his plan is accomplished, the Jian family and Jian Songyue will naturally be of no use to him.

……

His Majesty was determined to deal with the Chen family. Xiao Yinnan presented the evidence he had prepared in advance, and Emperor Jianning became furious.

The Chen family was immediately arrested and imprisoned. Concubine Chen was stripped of her title of concubine, demoted to a concubine, and detained in the palace and not allowed to leave.

The Prince of Jin pleaded for the Chen family in the palace, but His Majesty ordered him to be dragged out and beaten half to death. It was said that he was almost dead when he was dragged away.

When the ministers in the court saw that even Prince Jin could not change the emperor's will, no one dared to plead for mercy.

Xiao Yinnan raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced at King Yan who was in the front.

After this incident, subsequent ministers presented the Chen family's crimes one after another. His Majesty ordered that all of the Chen family's property be confiscated and put into the national treasury.

After the court session, Emperor Jianning summoned Xiao Yinnan and Prince Yan to the Council Hall, instructed Prince Yan on some matters, and then sent them away.

As soon as the Prince of Yan left, Emperor Jianning said, "You did a great job this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

*

The news from the court soon reached Jiang Nian's ears, and along with this news, there was also news that a new person had entered the Prince of Yan's Mansion.
