Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

In Dali, the highest power is held by only a few people. The only power that can rival the Third Prince's imperial authority is that of another person.

This person can't be the eldest prince, so it can only be the emperor!

……

night.

Songxian Building.

"How is Lord Zhao's investigation progressing?"

Li Lan took the initiative to ask a question.

Zhao Tanyue sighed softly and said, "Thank you for your guidance, young master. We have indeed found further clues."

"The owner of Moxianfang has confessed, but his rank is too low. He only knows that Bei Hu's conspiracy is indeed related to the Qingtian Grand Ceremony, and the key seems to be in the prison."

"I have already reported this matter to His Majesty and the Empress, requesting that His Majesty need not grant a general amnesty during the Qingtian Ceremony. However, His Majesty's will is absolute and cannot be changed."

"At that time, many prisoners in the prisons will be taken to the Seeking the Way Mountain, but even now, I still don't know how many spies the Northern Hu have planted among the prisoners."

"The Celebration Ceremony is extremely dangerous!"

Upon hearing this, Li Lan felt a slight sense of unease. Zhao Tanyue was a trusted confidante of the royal family. She had already explained the pros and cons, yet she still couldn't change Emperor Xianxian's mind.

Could there really be immortals in this world? Did Emperor Xianxian truly receive a response from an immortal, as the rumors suggest?

Is that why they are so stubbornly persistent?

After thinking for a moment, Li Lan finally made up his mind and said, "Perhaps I can go into the prison and find out what's going on."

Zhao Tanyue was taken aback and asked, "Young Master Li, what makes you say that?"

Li Lan said, "The key to the enemy's vicious scheme should be in the prison. Only by going into the prison can we find some clues."

Li Lan didn't know exactly how much Bei Hu had prepared in prison, but he understood that if Bei Hu's plan succeeded, the Third Prince would definitely be the biggest beneficiary.

It's not impossible that if the assassins kill Emperor Xianxian and the eldest prince, the third prince could directly ascend the throne and become emperor.

Li Lan even speculated that this was why the Third Prince dared to be so arrogant, not even putting General Lin Zheng, the protector of the country, in his eyes!

In any case... this is something that neither the Lin family nor Li Lan can accept.

At this moment, helping Zhao Tanyue is, in a sense, helping yourself!

Even Zhao Tanyue's usually icy and aloof face showed a slight change in expression as she asked, "Young Master Li, why are you like this?"

Li Lan's imprisonment was a life-or-death situation. He had not received the same great favor from the royal family as I had, so why should I be so loyal?

Li Lan smiled slightly and said, "General Lin is resented by all the civil and military officials. Only in this way can His Majesty know the loyalty of the Lin family."

Zhao Tanyue nodded: "General Lin did not choose the wrong son-in-law."

"Alright, I'll think of a way. If you're going to go to jail, you have to do it secretly and smoothly. Otherwise, it will be in vain if you attract the enemy's attention."

She frowned slightly. Li Lan's identity was special, and he was also resented by the person who orchestrated this. It would be too difficult to let him in without being guarded against...

"My lord, there is no need to worry. If Li Lan is not mistaken, it will not be long before someone else sends me to prison."

Li Lan smiled and said, "At that time, Lord Zhao only needs to take advantage of the situation and give it a push..."

He went into great detail.

The attacks from scholars in the capital, the books sent to the Lin family... all revealed the smell of conspiracy, and Li Lan had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tanyue couldn't help but feel a little surprised and doubtful. Li Lan spoke so confidently, could it be that he had really foreseen something in advance? Discovered something? ... But she chose to believe him and nodded, saying, "It seems that Young Master Li is far-sighted and has already made plans."

Her brow relaxed slightly. She had been exhausted from investigating the case for days and felt powerless to face this massive conspiracy alone. Now, with Li Lan's help, she inexplicably gained more confidence.

"In addition, Li Lan has also come up with a poem these past few days, and I would like to trouble you, sir."

Li Lan took out the folded document and handed it to Zhao Tanyue.

Zhao Tanyue did not open it, but accepted it directly, and solemnly said, "I will definitely pass it on to the Empress and the Emperor!"
