After the decree to enthrone Prince Ping's Mansion came down, the entire Prince Ping's Mansion was surprisingly quiet. Unlike what everyone had expected, no one came to congratulate. Instead, it was as quiet as it could be.

For many days, the entire capital was calm and peaceful, and everyone was doing their job as planned.

until--

June 14th.

Xie Yunqi came to the morning court, looking radiant and with unconcealable joy in his eyes.

Xie Xu waved his hand, and the Imperial Eunuch immediately understood. He stepped forward and said loudly, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please dismiss the court!"

Xie Yunqi immediately stood up and said with a cupped hand, "Your son has something important to report."

"explain."

Xie Yunqi took a deep breath. He had already rehearsed these words in his mind countless times. "Your son wants to report Prince Chen for colluding with the enemy country! Father, please order the confiscation of Prince Chen's mansion immediately!"

These words shocked the government and the public.

Xie Xu frowned immediately and asked sternly, "Do you have any evidence?"

"This is the letter from Prince Chen, expressing his treason for the enemy." Xie Yunqi was obviously well prepared. He took out the letter from his arms. The chief eunuch immediately stepped forward and presented the letter to Xie Xu.

Xie Xu opened the letter and saw that he recognized Shi Yu's handwriting. The handwriting on it was exactly the same as Shi Yu's. "How can you prove it with just a letter?!"

At this time, Xie Yunqi's party members stood up one after another.

"Your Majesty, please order an immediate search of Prince Chen's Mansion!"

"Your Majesty, even if there is no evidence now, this letter is probably not groundless. Please be cautious to avoid making a big mistake!"

But in this court there were not only Xie Yunqi's people, but also Xie Sui's people.

"That's pure nonsense! His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen is frail and ill, bedridden all year round. How could he do such a heinous act?"

Xie Yunqi's party was unhappy when they heard this and immediately retorted, "If His Royal Highness Prince Chen can't do it, he can just send someone else to do it. Some things don't need to be done personally."

"Your Highness and His Majesty are brothers and sisters. Your Highness would never do such a thing."

"That's ridiculous! How many cases of brothers turning against each other have there been since ancient times?"

……

For a while, the entire court was in an uproar.

*

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. These days, Yu Guiwan has been craving for coolness and has to eat something cold every day.

Ever since the last time they spoke, Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui spoke very little during meals, sometimes not even a few words at all.

Xie Sui and Yu Guiwan sat together, neither of them saying a word.

"Your Highness, Princess, Prince Ping has led his men to surround Prince Chen's mansion." Bei Chu walked into the house to report.

Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui looked at each other, and they understood each other tacitly.

This day has finally come.

As she thought about it, her eyes grew darker.

"Fuqiu, bring me my sword." Yu Guiwan ordered and nodded to Xie Sui.

At the gate of Prince Chen’s Mansion.

"Open the door quickly! Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!" Xie Yunqi stood at the door of Prince Chen's Mansion and shouted fearlessly.

Xie Yunqi and his men surrounded the entire Prince Chen's Mansion, and passers-by stayed away from this place for fear of being accidentally implicated.

Xie Yunqi waited for a few minutes but no one opened the door, and a look of impatience appeared on his face.

"Just break in for me!" Xie Yunqi didn't wait any longer and gave the order directly.

Sudden.

The door is open.

Xie Sui and Yu Guiwan walked towards this side together.

Xie Sui's eyes were shrouded in darkness as he stared at Xie Yunqi with a sense of oppression. "My nephew is so bold now that he even dared to surround my Prince Chen's Palace?"

Xie Yunqi curled the corners of his mouth and bowed, saying, "The emperor's uncle is suspected of colluding with the enemy country, and I have come here on the emperor's orders." There was no respect in his eyes. At this point, Xie Yunqi was even too lazy to pretend anymore.

"What a joke! Prince Chen's Mansion has always been aboveboard! Let's see who dares to set foot in Prince Chen's Mansion today!"

Yu Guiwan shouted angrily, drew his sword and pointed it at Xie Yunqi.

A trace of scarlet welled up in her eyes, and the scene at this moment seemed to have returned to that day, when she pointed at the sword and questioned Xie Yunqi why he treated her and the Yu family in this way.

"It seems that Princess Chen can't wait to confirm the charge of treason." Xie Yunqi lightly flicked the sword blade with his fingertips and raised his eyebrows.

"Someone come! Search for me!"

Xie Yunqi gave the order with a cold face.

Then, he walked straight around the two of them and led his men into Prince Chen's Mansion.

A large group of soldiers poured into Prince Chen's mansion. Xie Sui protected Yu Guiwan aside, and Xu Che followed closely behind him, leading his men into the mansion. When passing by Yu Guiwan, he whispered a reminder, "You'd better leave the capital as soon as possible."

After everyone went in, a faint smile appeared on Yu Guiwan and Xie Sui's faces.

"Your Highness, please go in and have some tea while waiting." Yu Guiwan said with a smile, looking calm.

"Walk."

In Prince Chen's Mansion.

"Search every place thoroughly! Don't let any place go!" Xu Che shouted loudly, but turned around and saw Xie Sui and Yu Guiwan sitting in the yard drinking tea.

Xu Che frowned. Didn’t Yu Guiwan hear what he said?

At this time, she still has the mind to drink tea!

Xie Yunqi also saw this scene, and gnashed his teeth and said, "You really don't know how to live or die."

Even when death is imminent, he is still pretending to be noble.

……

Yang Nian naturally also learned the news. When she heard the news, her legs almost went weak and she fell to the ground. Now that the backbone of the family was gone, she wanted to send people to inquire about the news of Prince Chen's Mansion, but she would find out nothing.

I don’t know what happened to Awan and His Royal Highness Prince Chen.

Yang Nian paced back and forth anxiously, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Madam, don't worry. We have sent people to inquire about the news in Prince Chen's Mansion." The nanny beside Yang Nian had no choice but to comfort her. It was really sad that such a thing happened now.

How could Yang Nian not be anxious? He wanted to go to Prince Chen's Mansion immediately to take Yu Guiwan away. If such a thing was confirmed, would he still be alive?

"Madam, someone is coming outside. They say they are from Prince Chen's Mansion." The servant came running in to report the news.

After a while, Xie Sui's secret guard walked in and said, "Please rest assured, madam. There is nothing wrong with Prince Chen's Mansion and the princess is fine too." After saying that, he disappeared quietly in Yu Mansion.

With these words, Yang Nian finally felt relieved.

Meanwhile, at Prince Chen's Mansion, an hour had passed and the people Xie Yunqi brought with him had gained nothing.

"How is that possible!" Xie Yunqi's face was full of disbelief.

"Keep searching for me, especially in the corners of the garden. Don't miss a single one!"

At this time, Xie Yunqi became anxious. Yun Miao clearly said that she had placed it under the flower bed, but he had been searching for it for so long and found nothing.

Yu Guiwan, who was not far away, took a sip of tea and looked at Xie Yunqi, "Your Highness Prince Ping, we've been searching for so long but haven't found anything—"

"Isn't this the thief crying thief?"
