When Jiang Gaoyuan mentioned that evil creature Ting Sangge, his expression darkened, filled with deep disgust and hatred.

I originally thought that it was just a chess piece that I picked up at random, and that I could use it for my own purposes after a little training. I didn't expect that it would be of no use at the critical moment, and it even became a biting dog!

Jiang Gaoyuan gnashed his teeth in hatred, but did not dare to attack Jiang Wansang easily.

Not only because she has Master Pei behind her, but also because Jiang Zihan is now tied to the Seventh Prince, he must have another daughter to leave himself a way out.

Meng Lianshu, who was sitting next to him, had been carefully observing his reaction. Seeing the hatred on his face, she felt a surge of joy in her heart, but then she heard him suddenly say, "This has nothing to do with Wansang. You told Han'er to shut up. Don't you think the Prime Minister's Mansion hasn't lost face enough recently?"

Meng Lianshu's face was stiff.

Although I already knew what kind of person Jiang Gaoyuan was and had prepared myself mentally before coming here, when I heard him say that, I still felt like something was blocking my heart.

Han'er is their biological daughter. Although he has not raised her by his side these years, he still finds opportunities to secretly see her every year. How can he be so cruel!

Meng Lianshu clenched his hands tightly together, not caring even if it hurt him.

She wanted to scold and question him on the spot, but in the end she didn't dare to say anything.

She was taught to "obey her father at home and her husband after marriage" since she was a child. Over the years, she has become accustomed to doing things according to Jiang Gaoyuan's wishes. Even if she disagrees with his approach in her heart, she can only complain in her heart.

Meng Lianshu suppressed her emotions, lowered her head and put away the bowl of soup that Jiang Gaoyuan had finished drinking, then walked out of the study respectfully.

After coming out, she no longer had the angry look of not daring to speak, and looked towards Tingsang Pavilion with resentment.

She didn't dare to disobey the master's wishes, but Jiang Wansang was her daughter in name only, and she didn't believe that if she, as a mother, wanted to teach her a lesson, Master Pei would be able to stop her!

Many people are destined to be unable to sleep this night.

The next day.

In the court, many officials reported the incident at the West City Inn yesterday, speaking frankly of the absurd behavior of the Seventh Prince and even dragging the Prime Minister's residence into the matter.

Most of these officials were the Crown Prince and the Third Prince's men, as well as some censors who liked to speak their minds.

Faced with these memorials, the emperor was not angry. He calmly asked in the court: "Seventh Brother, what do you want to say?"

Su Huanyu lifted his skirt and knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, I sneaked out of the house yesterday to drink a little wine. I secretly asked two girls from the brothel to accompany me. I didn't expect to be encountered by Miss Jiang Er by chance."

"She was concerned about my reputation and wanted to take me away directly. However, I didn't recognize her after I got drunk and even yelled loudly. Miss Jiang didn't want anyone to know that I had sneaked out during the confinement period, so she took me into a random room and hid there."

"Miss Jiang Er meant well, but I've done so many foolish things in the past, and I was so drunk that I almost made a terrible mistake."

"Luckily, Miss Jiang is already my fiancée. She's also a skilled doctor, and she cured me of my hangover at the critical moment. But before I could say anything more, someone barged in..."

"This is all my fault. Please punish me, Father!"

Su Huanyu "explained" yesterday's events in a clear and organized manner, calmly and unhurriedly.

After hearing what he said, the emperor angrily slammed the throne and said, "I have confined you to your residence, yet you dared to escape without permission. Your temper is even more mischievous than a child!"

Su Huanyu lowered his head even lower, but his voice was resounding and powerful: "I know I'm wrong!"

The Emperor shook his sleeves and said, "Since you admit your mistake, and considering that you haven't committed a serious offense, I will punish you with house arrest for another month. As for your marriage to Miss Jiang, since it was decided when you were young, let's have the Imperial Observatory find an auspicious date for the ceremony after the New Year!"

Since the emperor had spoken, the officials who submitted the memorials naturally had nothing more to say.

But everyone could see that the emperor was intentionally favoring the seventh prince, and deliberately turned such a serious incident into the result of a naughty child because of his few flawed explanations.

In the past, everyone said that the Seventh Prince was not favored by the Emperor. If it were not for his mother's heroic act of sacrificing her own relatives for the sake of justice, he would have been expelled from the palace and even stripped of his status as a prince.

But now it seems that the emperor's attitude towards the seventh prince is not that simple.

When Lin Tong was ordered to deliver the news, he also described how stiff and ugly the expressions of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince were when they heard the Emperor's decision.

Jiang Wansang was also somewhat surprised by this news. "What did Su Huanyu talk about with the Emperor last night when he entered the palace? Can we find out?"

Lin Tong shook his head. "The Emperor dismissed everyone, not even the eunuch who served him personally. No one knows what they talked about."

"However, when the Seventh Prince entered the palace, he met the maidservant beside Consort Wan. The two of them only exchanged a few words, and our informants don't know what they said."

Wan Zhaoyi is Su Huanyu's biological mother and the only person who was pardoned when the entire general's family was executed.

But after the incident that year, she was demoted from a concubine to a Zhaoyi, and she built a small Buddhist temple behind closed doors, not seeing anyone and showing no concern for her own son Su Huanyu.

Jiang Wansang remembered that when the book mentioned Late Zhaoyi, it was during the later period when Su Huanyu ascended the throne. She finally came out of the small Buddhist temple and directly took the position of empress dowager.

Because she was dissatisfied with Jiang Zihan's background in the underworld, Wan Zhaoyi used many means both overtly and covertly, but it was just a hurdle in the relationship between the hero and heroine.

The final outcome was that she was sent back to the small Buddhist temple by Su Huanyu. Although she still retained the dignity of the empress dowager, she became an imprisoned madman.

How could a mother and son who had no connection with each other suddenly get in touch, especially at this time?

Jiang Wansang frowned deeply, feeling that perhaps something had happened that was not mentioned in the book.

She looked at Lin Tong and said, "Ask your master to help investigate Wan Zhaoyi. It would be best if someone could keep an eye on her every move."

Her current power is not enough to infiltrate the palace, nor can she spare enough energy to do this, so she can only rely on Pei Zhanzhou.

Her more important task now is to gradually weaken the protagonist halo of Su Huanyu and Jiang Zihan.

Lin Tong, who received the order, bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

He said nothing, turned around and left in a hurry, looking as if he had returned to his original quiet and indifferent self.

But in fact, it was not that he wanted to go back to his old state, but that he was afraid that he would say something wrong again and be punished by his master.

Last time, he was the first person in history to be punished for "almost ruining his master's life-long event". Although he was only beaten with more than twenty sticks, he had become a laughing stock among all the secret guards.

Now, all the forces under the master know the name of Lin Tong...

Just thinking about being stared at by those people every time he went back, Lin Tong felt so embarrassed that he wanted to die on the spot!

Jiang Wansang had no idea of ​​Lin Tong's little thoughts. After sending him away, she asked Zhe Liu to go to the kitchen to get some onions.

The wonderful show had just begun yesterday, so of course she couldn't let Su Huanyu leave so soon!
