Chapter 291 Strict Investigation
After Duke Ding went down, Xiao Chenghan stood up and walked to the window, looking at the moonlight outside and sighing.

He has long seen that the fourth child cares too much about An Lehou, which is not a good thing for a future king of a country.

He also wanted his son to have a close companion, but as an emperor, he could not be influenced by love between men and women, and he had to stay awake at all times. This was the blessing of the country.

His future throne will be passed on to the fourth child, so the fourth child cannot have only one woman in the future, even if it is for the sake of the royal heirs, the harem must be included, so that it can flourish.

When he bestowed a marriage on his son, he had already thought of several candidates for his son's side concubine.He wanted more women to distract his son from An Lehou.An Lehou was too strong, he couldn't let An Lehou hold his son.

Fortunately, there is no big family behind An Lehou, and there is no risk of foreign relatives interfering in politics.

He knows his son, and he will definitely not take the initiative to accept other women, so he will be the villain.

Besides, the family behind the woman he chose for his son must be able to support his son and consolidate his son's imperial power in the future.Anlehou lost this advantage.

Xiao Chenghan thought that besides Dingguo's daughter, Xu Shangshu's daughter was also quite talented, gentle and virtuous, and it would be good to be a side concubine for his son in the future.There are also several daughters of the right age who are within his consideration.

This night was a sleepless night for many people in the capital.The family members went to the palace for a banquet but couldn't come back, and were controlled by the Imperial Forest Army. Who would not be afraid of such a thing?
People in the palace were even more panicked.Concubine Yan Shu of Yongning Palace was even more frightened.

She didn't expect that she would cause such a big commotion just by sending someone to give Lao Si and Shao Yichen an aphrodisiac.She still underestimated the status of the fourth child in the heart of the Holy Spirit.

This night was also a sleepless night for Xiao Yilin and Jing Yi. When it was almost dawn, Jing Yi couldn't hold back and fell asleep, and Xiao Yilin fell asleep afterward.

It was already afternoon when the two woke up.

Xiao Yilin first woke up and saw his fiancée next to him, then recalled yesterday's scene.He knew that the little girl was trying to save him, but under the circumstances that they were husband and wife, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He should have given her the best, but let her suffer like this.

He remembered Lu Zhilan's behavior yesterday and his eyes turned cold, no matter what Lu Zhilan's reason was, he would never let her go.

Xiao Yilin looked down at the little girl who was still sleeping in his arms, and felt even more guilty when he saw the bruises on her body that he had made.He was dominated by the effects of the medicine yesterday, so it was inevitable that he went too far.

Xiao Yilin found out that this was the place where he lived in the palace before, and now it's winter, and there is no brazier or other things for heating in this room, so the room is still very cold.

Jing Yi, who was still in a coma, unconsciously leaned towards Xiao Yilin, the heat source beside her, because of the cold.

Xiao Yilin was afraid of freezing the two of them tightly with a quilt, and then hugged the two of them in his arms.

Xiao Yilin thought that since they were already husband and wife, it would be better to hold the wedding as soon as possible.

Xiao Yilin thought again about who could poison him and Shao Yichen at the palace banquet yesterday.This person who can make a move in the palace banquet undoubtedly has a very strong influence in the palace, and the emperor must be very angry when he finds out.I don't know if my father can find out who is behind the scenes.

Xiao Chenghan was indeed very angry, this is in the palace, someone could poison him unconsciously, if he was poisoned, wouldn't he be in danger of dying at any time?
If one day the black hand behind the scenes wants to take his place, then he is really hard to guard against.

So Xiao Chenghan really played a ruthless hand this time, and Han Li lived up to his expectations, and found out the person behind it, Concubine Yan Shu, through interrogation.

When Xiao Chenghan learned of the results of Han Li's investigation, he was furious, and immediately ordered people to arrest everyone in Yongning Palace.

After interrogating the maids, nuns and other palace people around Concubine Yan Shu, many things were interrogated, including many nasty things that Concubine Yan Shu had done before.

Xiao Chenghan didn't expect that Concubine Yan Shu, who usually looks gentle and virtuous, would have such vicious thoughts and do so many evil things behind her back.Even Ningyuan Hou's Mansion was involved in many things.

Xiao Chenghan didn't show any mercy, and immediately ordered people to arrest the people in Ningyuanhou's mansion, and sealed up Ningyuanhou's mansion.All the people in Ningyuan Hou's Mansion were imprisoned overnight, causing panic among the families in the capital.

Jing Yi felt that there was a big stove beside her, which made people want to get closer.She was sore and weak, exhausted and wanted to sleep but her stomach was growling with hunger.

That's right, Jing Yi woke up from hunger, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Yilin's magnified face.

Xiao Yilin noticed Jing Yi's movement as soon as there was any movement, and looked down at the little girl's misty eyes.

Xiao Yilin's eyes were full of tenderness and doting, and he said with a hoarse voice, "Are you awake?"

Jing Yi also remembered what happened yesterday, and the current situation of the two people made her cheeks blush, "What time is it now, it's not good for us to stay in the palace for a long time, we should go home early."

Xiao Yilin stroked Jing Yi's hair, "Okay, I'll ask Han Qi to bring in the clothes, and we'll go home early. The room here has been empty for a long time, and it's a bit cold. It's better to go back to our own home."

Xiao Yilin pulled a rope at the bedside, and soon Han Qi opened the door and came in. He lowered his head and put a tray on the chair beside the bed and said, "My lord, you and my concubine's clothes are here. The little one is waiting outside, you have something to call the little one. In addition, His Majesty ordered that after you and the princess get up, you can go back to the mansion directly to rest, and come back to the palace after you have rested."

Xiao Yilin opened the curtain of the bed and said, "Well, you stay on guard outside first, and when we get up, we will leave the palace and return home."

Xiao Yilin brought the clothes of the two of them, but Jing Yi's was a palace attire.

Xiao Yilin showed his naked and strong upper body, Jing Yi blushed and quickly pulled up the quilt to cover her face.

Xiao Yilin laughed softly seeing the little girl's shy behavior, and then quickly got dressed.

Xiao Yilin put on his clothes and said: "Jing Yan, I'm done. I'll put your clothes by the bed, so you can get up and wear them too. I'll turn my back and you wear them slowly."

Saying that, Xiao Yilin also lowered the bed curtain, leaving only a gap.

Even if they like each other before, they have always behaved well, but after last night, they are already the closest people.It's just that I'm not used to this sudden change.

Jing Yi lifted the quilt and turned her head with a blushing face to see that her clothes turned out to be a set of women's clothes.But now everyone knows that she is a daughter, and it doesn't matter if she wears women's clothing.
