Jiang Ningwan remained calm, "It's easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. Just present whatever evidence you have!"

Lu Lingsong said coldly: "The evidence will come naturally! Or your cousin will deliver it personally!"

"Then let's see what you have to say!"

Jiang Ningwan was secretly shocked. What did this have to do with Jiang Zhouye?

It seems that this time Huainan's investigation into Rumengzui was also planned by Lu Lingsong in advance.

In theory, this should be Qin Chengqian's plan.

After Qin Chengqian forced the palace to seize the throne, he could use this as an excuse to execute her.

But Qin Chengqian failed, so Lu Lingsong continued with the plan and did this.

After figuring it out, Jiang Ningwan felt even more that there was something wrong with Qin Beihuang.

It has been so long since Qin Beihuang was killed. If he is still alive, why did he show up now?

Still with Lu Lingsong.

Because of Lu Qingheng's death, they had already turned against each other.

After a while, the King of Chu was also summoned into the palace, and Jiang Ningwan was taken away alone by Hai Dehong.

"Are you afraid that we will collude with each other? There are so many people watching us in the imperial study." Jiang Ningwan was a little dissatisfied.

Hai Dehong looked around and saw that no one was around before he spoke: "General, don't misunderstand me. The emperor trusts you, but gossip can melt metal. If we want to put this matter to rest, we can't let anyone take advantage of this and get something against us."

"General Jiang, please go to the side hall and have some tea."

Jiang Ningwan said nothing more and followed him into the side hall and sat down, waiting anxiously, not knowing what was happening in the imperial study.

Qin Shuangchi must have also been questioned about the dragon robe.

After a long time, Qin Shuangchi also came to the side hall. Jiang Ningwan walked up quickly and asked, "How is it?"

Qin Shuangchi shook his head, "It's okay."

"We can leave the palace now. Let's go back and talk later."

"it is good."

The two of them left hand in hand and returned to the Prince of Chu's Palace.

Qin Shuangchi told her what had just happened in the imperial study. It was similar to what she had guessed. Lu Lingsong targeted Qin Shuangchi by grabbing the dragon robe.

In addition, Yunshan Yao's private soldiers were brought up, and Qin Shuangchi was accused of forming a clique for personal gain and having an entanglement with the eldest daughter of the Song family.

"The Song family's affairs have nothing to do with them, yet they are using it against you." Jiang Ningwan took a sip of tea in annoyance.

"I wonder what evidence Jiang Zhouye will bring back tomorrow." Jiang Ningwan was a little worried. It was obvious that Jiang Zhouye was also involved this time.

Qin Shuangchi spoke slowly: "If the person Jiang Zhouye brought back died, then Jiang Zhouye cannot escape responsibility."

"If he's not dead, the evidence he presents might be used against us."

Jiang Ningwan thought for a moment, "No matter what, Jiang Zhouye must not be involved. I think the breakthrough point in this matter lies in Qin Beihuang."

"It's better to keep an eye on him first."

Qin Shuangchi nodded, and then immediately sent someone to keep an eye on Qin Beihuang.

After Qin Beihuang left the palace, he was sent back to Prince Yi's Mansion by Lu Lingsong.

Arriving at the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion, Qin Beihuang looked up at the plaque and walked in.

Everyone in the palace was shocked when they saw Qin Beihuang, "The prince is back?"

Suddenly, the whole palace started shouting: "The prince is back! Prince Yi is back!"

Qin gradually learned the news and stumbled to the front yard. Seeing the familiar figure, he rushed over and hugged him excitedly, "Brother, you are finally back! Why did you disappear for so long!"

Qin Beihuang patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for letting you endure it alone for so long. Now that I'm back, everything will be fine!"

Qin Jian nodded with red eyes, "Brother, where have you been all this time? What happened?"

She wanted to know the truth.

But Qin Beihuang avoided the issue. "I'm a little tired after traveling. I'm going to rest for a while. I'll tell you in detail when I have time, okay?"

Qin Jianjian nodded, "Then I'll go ask someone to prepare some food."

After saying that, Qin Jianjian took his people to the kitchen.

At that moment, Qin Beihuang looked around, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He walked towards the inner courtyard.

But just as he was about to enter the yard, Qin Jianjian suddenly looked back and shouted, "Brother, what are you doing in the ancestral hall?"

Qin Beihuang's foot suddenly stopped, and he quickly retracted it, explaining, "Look at my parents."

"Okay." Qin Yanyan didn't think much about it and immediately went to the kitchen happily.

Qin Beihuang hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

After walking around the mansion for a long time, he entered a room and saw several guns placed in the corner of the room. He then went to sleep in the room with peace of mind.

After that, apart from eating, I never went out and didn't see anyone again.

Late at night, Prince Chu's Mansion.

The spy sent out to keep watch came back on duty and reported all of Qin Beihuang's movements today, and found nothing unusual.

Jiang Ningwan ordered: "Keep watching, watch closely."

"Yes!"

Qin Shuangchi spoke slowly: "Do you think this Qin Beihuang is fake?"

Jiang Ningwan nodded. "I was the one who stabbed Qin Beihuang in the vitals myself. After much thought, I realized that even though his body was different from others, it would be difficult for him to survive in that environment."

“Even if my master was in that situation, he might not be able to save Qin Beihuang’s life.”

"Besides that, there is another reason."

"If you were Qin Beihuang and you were lucky enough to survive, and you wanted revenge, why didn't you expose me when the late emperor was still alive? The one sitting on the throne now is my cousin. How could he think the emperor would believe him?"

"Even if they fabricate evidence thoroughly, their chances of winning are no more than 50%."

Jiang Ningwan was not worried about this matter.

Qin Shuangchi narrowed his eyes slightly and said faintly: "What you said, I have thought about it too."

"If Lu Lingsong and Qin Beihuang really had such a plan, they should have considered their own survival after the new emperor ascended the throne, instead of openly coming back to oppose us."

"Unless they come back to do this, they have other purposes, bigger plots and interests behind them."

"What could possibly make them willing to take this risk and do something with less than a 50% chance of success..."

Jiang Ningwan shook her head, still having no clue for the moment.

Qin Shuangchi stopped thinking about it, held her hand and said, "Let's wait and see."

"it is good."

……

Noon the next day.

Jiang Zhouye led the Longwu Guards to Kyoto City and brought back three Dahan Shadow Guards.

As soon as he arrived in Kyoto, he hurried to find Jiang Ningwan.

But the palace immediately summoned them in.

On the way into the palace, several people met.

Jiang Zhouye only dared to speak in a low voice: "I only found out about Lu Lingsong and Qin Beihuang on the way back. I've never seen them in Huainan!"

Jiang Ningwan asked in a low voice, "How's your investigation into Rumengzui going?"

Jiang Zhouye lowered his voice, "It's just as the intelligence said. We found a large number of Ru Meng Zui. I tried it, and it's much stronger than before! We went to great lengths to capture a group of merchants. They're all Dahan's shadow guards."

"According to their confession, they colluded with an official in our court to sell a batch of Ru Meng Zui here."

"But no matter how I interrogated them, they said they didn't know the official's identity, so I had no choice but to bring him back."

"I heard on the road today that Lu Lingsong had accused you. Could it be you, the official who colluded with those shadow guards?"
