Jiang Jingyu was stunned for a moment and spoke in confusion.

"Empress, what did you just say?"

Shen Fengyi didn't say anything. She couldn't say anything. Only shrill screams came out of her throat.

Woo!

At this time, Jiang Jingyu finally realized that something was wrong and immediately asked.

"Queen, are you okay?"

Shen Fengyi had just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment her nerves were tense again.

Because she felt it clearly.

Is this variable?!

The severe pain almost suffocated her and made her faint.

"It's okay. I just have a fever."

Shen Fengyi shook her head desperately. She was really crying, and three lines of tears flowed down.

"What did the prince just say, what happened?"

Shen Fengyi had to force herself to retain a bit of rationality. She couldn't let the prince become suspicious.

What’s even more terrifying is that although her brain said no, her body was very honest and her peachy butt was always catering to Li Lingge.

Jiang Jingyu felt a little weak, and he held on to the palace gate and told everyone what had just happened.

"Empress, father is not going to kill me, is he?"

Shen Fengyi, who already knew the whole story, could only offer comfort.

"If His Majesty wants to kill you, do you think you can still walk out of Daicui Pavilion?"

When it comes to this, she gets really angry.

"I told you a long time ago not to go to Dai Cui Pavilion again and to end all ties with that bitch, but you just wouldn't listen!"

The palace door creaked, and Shen Fengyi's voice sounded a little strange, and Jiang Jingyu felt a little doubtful again.

"Why does this door always ring?"

Shen Fengyi covered her mouth and squeezed out a sentence from between her fingers.

"I'm doing some exercise. I'll sweat and the fever will go away."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingyu once again dispelled his doubts. It was really because his mind was in a mess and he subconsciously only thought about things related to himself.

"Then what should I do now?"

"Go back home and reflect on your mistakes. Don't go out again until your father calms down."

At this time, Shen Fengyi had gradually gotten used to it. She straightened up, turned her head and leaned close to Li Lingge's lips.

"You are so bad, I like it so much!"

Woo!

When their lips touched, Li Lingge suddenly missed the former queen.

Now Shen Fengyi is just a fairy, a very annoying fairy.

Jiang Jingyu left in a daze, and when he turned around, Shen Fengyi's ten fingers directly pierced the oil window paper on the door coffin.

Soon, Shen Fengyi's shouting was heard from the bedroom.

"My whole body has become your ball of lint."

Unfortunately, everyone in Ganquan Palace had already been driven out by the prince.

Therefore, only Li Lingge could hear these words.

By the way, Lingxi, who was shouting and pushing hard, also heard it.

……

The next day.

"What?!" The Second Prince Jiang Yin stood up suddenly, "The Imperial Guards have sealed off the East Palace?"

Butler Song nodded.

"The news I received this morning is that the Imperial Guards sealed off the East Palace last night. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

Jiang Yin rubbed his thumb and index finger gently, lost in thought.

"What does the decree say?"

"There is no decree. Ling Zuo announced to the public that there was only an oral order."

"For such a big matter, you only have oral instructions?"

"The Eastern Palace's Grand Tutor, Grand Master, Junior Master, and officials from the Crown Prince's party all surrounded Ling Zuo and demanded an explanation, but he insisted that it was only a verbal order and that no one was allowed to see the Crown Prince."

Hearing this, Jiang Yin's brows furrowed more and more.

"I will personally go to Ling Zuo to ask for clarification."

However, as soon as he took a step, he was stopped by Butler Song.

"Your Highness, Ling Zuo didn't say anything even when he was questioned to such an extent. There must be an imperial decree not to let him say anything. I'm afraid you won't be able to get anything out of him if you go find him."

After a slight pause, he continued.

"Besides, it's not appropriate for us to go look for Ling Zuo at this time."

Jiang Yin paused.

"You are right, but we can't just sit there and wait. This is such a big thing, I must get to the bottom of it."

Butler Song took a slight step forward.

"Your Highness, there is someone who may know the inside story."

"Who?"

"Qiu Yuebai."

"The Overwatch Council is only loyal to His Majesty, and I have no friendship with her. Even if I ask, I'm afraid she won't tell me."

Butler Song shook his head.

"Although she has no friendship with His Highness, her senior brother has some friendship with His Highness."

"Li Lingge!" Jiang Yin's eyes lit up. "I heard that he went to Western Zhou and later appeared in the southern border. Is he back?"

"Yesterday, someone saw him appear in the Confucian Temple Square."

"Prepare the sedan chair and go to Prince Wei's Palace!"

Prince Wei's Palace.

When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on a man, it will first test his mind and will, make his muscles and bones weary, starve his body, and deprive him of all poverty.

Li Lingge felt as if his entire body had been hollowed out, without a single drop of energy left.

If it weren't for the secret art of the wheel and the rubber body, he would have almost been defeated in Ganquan Palace last night.

The Empress who had studied in Hongxiu Tower was simply a human weapon.

Everything was done with the help of the little maid. Before they even had time to eat breakfast, they saw Liu Quan running over.

"Your Majesty, the second prince is here."

Li Lingge put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"Take him to the drawing-room; I will follow."

He roughly understood what the Second Prince was doing, but he didn't understand why he came to him.

No matter how you look at it, this matter seems to have nothing to do with him.

living room.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Your Highness."

Li Lingge walked into the reception room and glanced at Jiang Yin. The two had not seen each other for more than three years.

Although he had been silent for three years about the gauze business they had previously collaborated on, his sister-in-law had always split the profits 50-50 with Jiang Yin in accordance with their previous agreement.

There is a price to pay for swallowing up so much silver from Prince Wei's Mansion.

Jiang Yin went straight to the point and asked immediately.

"The Eastern Palace was sealed off by the Imperial Guards this morning. Did Lingge also know about this?"

Li Lingge's eyes flashed, and then his face was filled with surprise.

"Is this happening?"

Although he was the first person to know about this matter, he could not tell anyone about it.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain how he knew that.

Jiang Yin was not surprised by this.

"I just found out about it, but Ling Zuo only told the public that there was only an oral order, but he didn't tell them the reason. His Majesty also claimed to be ill and didn't see anyone."

He sighed, then spoke.

"So I can only come to Lingge to discuss it."

Li Lingge picked up the teacup, not yet understanding Jiang Yin's purpose, so he could only speak tentatively.

"The prince must have offended the emperor, which is why His Majesty is so cruel."

"It's possible, but the most urgent thing is to find out the whole story." After hesitating for a while, Jiang Yin simply got straight to the point, "Lingge's second apprentice sister is in the Supervisory Council. I wonder if she has heard any news."

Hey!

After going around in circles, Li Lingge finally understood what Jiang Yin was planning.

"Liu Quan, go invite Second Junior Sister over and tell her I'm treating her to grapes."

"Yes."

Liu Quan responded and then quickly walked out of the reception room.

After a stick of incense.

Invited by the eldest senior brother, Qiu Yuebai appeared at Prince Wei's Mansion as quickly as possible.

But as soon as she entered the reception room and saw a stranger there, she couldn't help but frown.

"I have met His Highness the Second Highness."

Jiang Yin nodded as a greeting.

He picked up a grape from the table and put it into his mouth, his eyebrows raised unconsciously.

The grapes in Prince Wei's mansion were even sweeter than those he ate in the palace.

Li Lingge glanced at Jiang Yin out of the corner of his eye, and then asked as if he knew the answer.

"I heard that the Eastern Palace was sealed off by the Imperial Guards. Junior Sister, do you know why?"

Qiu Yuebai blinked his eyes. Is there any need to ask this?

When she saw Li Lingge's gaze, she immediately understood.

"I heard that your Majesty went to Concubine Xi's Dai Cui Pavilion last night, and the prince's personal eunuch died at the gate of Dai Cui Pavilion."

"what!"

Jiang Yin's eyes widened, his thoughts racing. This was too much information.

"The prince was in Daicui Pavilion last night?"

Qiuyuebai shook his head slightly.

"That's not quite clear."

She only needs to give Jiang Yin some key information, and Jiang Yin can figure out everything by himself.

Moreover, this is more believable than if she said it directly.
