Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

"And the man in black who was chasing Sang Mo just now, I'm sure it's Sun Liang, a guard by my father's side."

When Xiao Lanzhi finished speaking, his brows furrowed deeply.

Su Yu was also stunned. He didn't expect Xiao Lanzhi to tell her all this so quickly.

Mo Wu then said, "Your Highness, after Consort Hui entered the palace, besides the court officials, Prince Jinxi also happened to return to the capital..."

Xiao Lanzhi clenched his fist on the table: "I'll go look for other evidence."

“You…” Su Yu wanted to speak, but didn’t know how to comfort him. If Prince Jinxi was really the person behind it all, then he was Xiao Lanzhi’s father…

Xiao Lanzhi said, "The court is relatively stable now, and I don't want my father to go down the wrong path. I'm helping him."

After Xiao Lanzhi finished speaking, he got up and left.

He returned home three days ago, but Mo Shisan found nothing.

Just as Prince Jinxi left the mansion, Xiao Lanzhi arrived right afterward.

He knew his father's study had a hidden room, so he went straight in.

But what he didn't expect was that there were other secret rooms inside the secret room.

In that dark room he had never entered before, the four walls were covered with portraits of Consort Hui. The woman in the portraits had a bright smile and her eyes sparkled like stars.

On the table are numerous pieces of evidence, both large and small, related to the late Empress Dowager's crimes over the years.

It turns out that my father also played a part in this.

His fingertips landed on the evidence, and his breathing became rapid and uncontrollable.

He never imagined that his father, who was always kind and friendly and whom he only knew as a playboy, had done so much behind the scenes.

It was hard for him to accept for a while.

"Zixi, I did all this for you." King Jinxi's voice suddenly came from behind.

Xiao Lanzhi forced back her tears and looked back at her father, who had always been kind to her.

"Father, what is it all for? I don't want anything, I just want you and Mother to be well. Isn't that enough?"

Prince Jinxi's originally kind eyes dimmed. Xiao Lanzhi continued, "Your son doesn't know about your affair with Consort Hui, but Prince Rui is Consort Hui's son. How could you lay a hand on him?!"

"Why not?!" Prince Jinxi suddenly seemed like a different person: "If it weren't for Prince Rui, she wouldn't have died, she wouldn't have died!"

"Father!" Xiao Lanzhi raised his voice, "But she is also Consort Hui, she is Consort Hui!!"

Prince Jinxi turned his back to him and said in an unquestionable tone, "This is my decision. You just need to be a good prince."

"Father, I can pretend I don't know about other things, but I absolutely will not agree to this!"

Just as Xiao Lanzhi was about to leave, Sun Liang blocked the doorway.

"Get out of my way!" Xiao Lanzhi roared and attacked Sun Liang.

Sun Liang dared not use his full strength, for fear of hurting him.

Xiao Lanzhi ripped Sun Liang's sleeve, revealing the wound on his arm.

"Hehe..." Xiao Lanzhi chuckled softly.

King Jinxi immediately ordered: "Send the Crown Prince back to his residence. Without my order, he shall not leave the residence even a step!"

Mo Shisan, who had been waiting at the entrance of the Prince's residence, saw that Xiao Lanzhi was being escorted back, with a small amount of blood still on the corner of his mouth.

"Master, how did you get injured?!"

Mo Shisan hurriedly came over, but before he could even touch Xiao Lanzhi, he was seized by the other guards.

Those guards dared not lay a hand on Xiao Lanzhi, but they were ruthless towards Mo Shisan.

He was beaten so badly that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

If Xiao Lanzhi hadn't stopped them in time, Mo Shisan would probably have been beaten to death.

The master and servant were locked inside the house.

Lin Ran was just about to bring the tea when she saw it. She was so frightened that she trembled. She left two guards at the door and tried to go over, but the guards stopped her.

She could only cling to the guard's arm and shout into the room, "Zixi, what happened? Are you alright?"

Xiao Lanzhi placed Mo Shisan on the bed before replying, "Aran, I'm fine. You should go back to the Lin residence for the next couple of days, and I'll pick you up in a few days."

Although Lin Ran didn't know what had happened, she did know that the two guards were from the Jinxi Prince's Mansion.

She knew something must have happened.

She should have listened to Xiao Lanzhi and returned to the Lin residence, but she didn't.

She sensed something was off about Ziwei from that day on, but he didn't say anything.

She said she was going back to the Lin residence, and fortunately the guards of the Jinxi Prince's Mansion did not make things difficult for her.

After getting into the carriage, she changed her clothes and went to the Prince of Qin's residence.

But what she didn't know was that her intentions had already been discovered.

When she got off the carriage at the Qin King's mansion, she was struck in the back by an arrow that pierced through her entire body.

Yan'er, who was about to leave the mansion, happened to see this scene and took the person back with her.

After closing the doors and windows, Su Yu examined Lin Ran's wounds. They had almost damaged her heart; if she hadn't received timely treatment, she would have certainly died.

Su Yu knew something must have happened at the Prince's residence, so she quickly sent Mo Wu to investigate.

Lin Ran's condition was serious. After her wounds were treated, even Su Yu took a deep breath, as she should have been unconscious for a long time.

Perhaps Lin Ran was thinking of Xiao Lanzhi, because she woke up quickly: "Zixi... Zixi..."

Su Yu quickly took her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, I've already sent someone to check on the Prince's residence. You're badly injured and need to rest."

As soon as Su Yu finished speaking, Lin Ran could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.

Mo Wu returned quickly, only to find out that Xiao Lanzhi was under house arrest; he knew nothing else.

Su Yu could easily guess that Xiao Lanzhi must have been frank with Prince Jinxi, which was why things had developed this way.

Even tigers don't eat their cubs, but Lin Ran is not one of them, which is why Prince Jinxi dared to do such a cruel thing.

Su Yu suddenly stood up and said to Yan'er, "The situation is urgent. There may be danger on the way to Prince Rui's place. Yan'er, you need to go there now."

Yan'er nodded without hesitation. Su Yu gave her the small explosives from his space, told her how to use them, and finally instructed her with concern, "Make sure you return safely."

With a shortage of manpower, Su Yu was worried that something might happen at the Su residence, so she sent someone to deliver a message as soon as possible.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

Baili Jiyan rode up to find Su Yu on horseback. Before Su Yu could react, Baili Jiyan grabbed her and pulled her outside, saying as they walked, "Grandfather has been assassinated. His condition is very serious. Ayu, please save Grandfather!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yu didn't delay any longer, mounted her horse, and the two of them rode off on horseback, their silhouettes disappearing into the distance as they sped down the street.

Upon seeing Baili Jiyan return with Su Yu, Sang Mo, who was clinging to the pillar, suddenly went limp.

She watched Baili Jiyan's hurried figure and murmured softly, "It wasn't me, I didn't..."

As soon as Su Yu entered the room, she smelled a strong stench of blood, and there was also a knife still stuck in Lord Baili's chest.

Su Yu recognized the knife; it belonged to Sang Mo.

Su Yu first checked his breathing; it was very weak. She said, "I'll try my best. You go out and wait."

As soon as Baili Jiyan stepped out, he collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted.

Sang Mo walked over cautiously and asked in a very low voice, "Bai Li Ji Yan... are you alright?"
