"How foolish!"

Xiao An's face was filled with grief and regret, and he directly convicted Xiao Ning without waiting for Xiao Ji to speak.

"But please rest assured, my brother. I stand by your side. Today at the morning court, I ask that you severely punish the Duke of Dingguo!"

"It's just that... Father seems to be still hesitant about how to deal with him. Although the evidence is irrefutable, Duke Dingguo is still a founding hero, and many people are pleading for his mercy."

Xiao An's tone was filled with regret, "But I really don't want to let the person who murdered the Empress's sister-in-law escape."

Xiao An was filled with righteous indignation, and looked as if he was standing up for Xie Yao and Xiao Ji.

He really hated the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

After all, he had extended an olive branch to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

However, he did not expect that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion would abandon him and choose a woman named Xiao Ning. To him, she was more than just an enemy.

Even more humiliating!

Xiao Ji understood about 80% of what Xiao An was thinking, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. "I know about this matter."

"Third brother, I'm going to the palace today. If you have nothing else to do..."

Xiao An immediately said, "Your Majesty, please do as you please. I have nothing to do."

Go on!

Since the Duke Dingguo Mansion is Xiao Ning's arm, destroying the Duke Dingguo Mansion would be a huge loss for Xiao Ning.

It can also let those who follow Xiao Ning see clearly what the consequences will be if they follow the wrong master.

Xiao Ji led Xiao An out of the Prince's Mansion, and the two parted ways.

When Xiao Ji entered the palace, the first thing he went to was the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After hearing the news, the third prince Xiao An happily returned to the Third Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness."

As soon as he entered the door, a steward came forward to greet him, "Master Xuan is here."

Xiao An's expression changed slightly, he answered yes, and then quickly walked in.

Taifu Xuan was a thin middle-aged man with a scholarly air, looking refined and elegant.

"Third Prince." Grand Tutor Xuan stood up and saluted, but Xiao An was one step faster and supported Grand Tutor Xuan's arm. "Grand Tutor, there is no need to be so polite. Please take a seat."

"Everything happened just as the Grand Tutor predicted. I only mentioned to the Crown Prince that the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion might be the murderer behind the Crown Princess's murder, and he immediately rushed into the palace."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Xiao An's tone.

It's understandable that Xiao Ji wanted to kick someone when they were down, but he was so impulsive just for a woman...

Ah!

"Congratulations, Your Highness." Grand Tutor Xuan also shook his head and said, "Our Crown Princess is truly resourceful."

The last time he went to the Prince's Mansion to meet the Prince, he proposed that the Prince take Xuan Yue into the Prince's Mansion as a concubine.

But was ruthlessly rejected.

Although he had already arranged a marriage between Xuan Yue and the Third Prince at that time, and he also knew that the Crown Prince had rejected the Emperor's order and Lin Panpan of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion for the sake of the Crown Princess, asking the Crown Prince was just a formality.

But the prince's refusal still surprised him!

Is it worth it just for a woman?

Although His Majesty has never paid much attention to the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince's status is here. If the Crown Prince is interested...

How could it be that he had not entered the court for so many years?

Grand Tutor Xuan shook his head and said, "Your Highness should take this as a warning. Those who achieve great things do not dwell on trivial matters."

"Don't let your children's personal affairs interfere with your work."

Taifu Xuan spoke righteously and sternly, even though the Third Prince's wife was his daughter, he would still say this!

The Third Prince immediately said, "Thank you for your teachings, Grand Master. An knows."

After a pause, the Third Prince continued, "Perhaps the Crown Prince knows that his time is running out and that he cannot win even if he fights."

Who can fight against time?

Xuan Taifu agreed, "It is indeed possible."

"The Crown Prince is nothing to be afraid of, and the Crown Prince is still young, so there's no need to worry too much."

"The Second Prince has been demoted to a commoner, the Fourth Prince has a bad temper, and the Fifth Prince is still young..." Taifu Xuan's face showed joy, "Your Highness is the one who takes on the responsibility!"

The third prince also wanted to laugh.

But I managed to restrain myself.

He coughed lightly and said, "And Xiao Ning."

"Xiao Ning has long harbored ambitions, even using Xiao Hong as a stepping stone. She has used shameless tactics to colluded with numerous officials over the years... We must be on guard."

Contempt flashed in Master Xuan's eyes, and he said contemptuously, "Your Highness is paranoid."

"No matter how much the princess plans, she is still just a woman. You don't need to take it to heart."

You are just a woman, what great future can you achieve?

A woman as unfaithful as the eldest princess...if she were the daughter of the Xuan family, she would have been drowned long ago!

Xiao An's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't refute it. He just smiled and said, "Taifu is right."

Grand Tutor Xuan nodded and continued, "Your Highness, what you should do now is to let His Majesty see your abilities."

……

The third prince only found out that the first thing Xiao Ji did after entering the palace was to go into the Yangxin Palace, but he didn't know that Xiao Ji only stayed in the Yangxin Palace for a while before leaving.

He has another purpose today.

After he entered the harem, he went to the Xinzheku.

After Xiao Ji and Xiao An left, Xie Yao went to the study in the Prince's Mansion to handle some matters.

in the afternoon.

Si Nan's voice rang out from outside the study, "Crown Princess, news has come from the Xie family that Xie Jing has appeared."

Xie Jing?

He dares to show up?

Xie Yao frowned immediately, "Come in and answer."

Si Nan entered the room, clasped his fists, and said, "Today, in public, Xie Jing appeared at the Xie family's door, crying and saying that he was being plotted against and was in danger."

"I finally managed to escape from the tiger's mouth and return home."

Xie Yao naturally understood what Xie Jing wanted to do.

Now there is no Zhang in the Xie family mansion, only Xie Zhan. Xie Jing is older than Xie Zhan, so he is the eldest.

If he came back at this time, he could become the eldest son of the Xie family and control the Xie family in his hands.

It’s a good time and a good plan.

Even Xie Yao had just been accused by Zhang and Xie Yujiao last time, so she couldn't take action against Xie Jing in the short term to avoid giving people a chance to talk.

"Where did he come from?" Xie Yao asked.

Her people have been looking for Xie Jing. There are only a few people in the capital who can hide Xie Jing so well or who dare to hide Xie Jing.

Si Nan shook his head, "I haven't found out yet. It's as if he suddenly appeared in the capital!"

Xie Yao stood up and walked out.

"My brother is safe and sound. This is a great joy."

"Go to Xie's house."
