"That's impossible! The person must be at the Fourth Prince's residence!"

Taking advantage of the situation, Jun Qiyuan said, "Second Brother, the facts are already laid bare before us. How can you still try to slander me? Are you perhaps trying to evade responsibility?"

Emperor Yong also showed disappointment: "You have disappointed me greatly! Guards, seize the Second Prince!"

"etc……"

Jun Jingyan immediately stopped him, "Father, who can guarantee there aren't secret passages or hidden rooms here? If they've hidden someone in there, how will we be able to find them?"

Jun Qiyuan's heart skipped a beat. How could he have thought of that?

"Second Brother, you really will stop at nothing to get yourself out of trouble, even coming up with such an excuse?"

At this moment, Emperor Yong was also aroused with intense curiosity.

Since we're already here, we should at least get to a conclusion, right?

He was also curious to know what kind of woman could make the two brothers fight each other.

In addition, in his eyes, Jun Qiyuan has always been low-key, humble, and unambitious.

This is a good opportunity to search the Fourth Prince's residence and see if he has any ill intentions.

Jun Qiyuan never expected that his father would help the second prince target him, and immediately filed a complaint.

"Father, I have already been utterly wronged by being falsely accused, and now you are even encouraging their arrogance! I refuse to accept this!"

To demonstrate his impartiality towards himself, Emperor Yong then looked at Jun Jingyan.

"If the matter remains unresolved in the end, I will send you to your fiefdom as payment for slandering your brother. What do you say?"

Jun Qiyuan's heart suddenly pounded a few times.

If we can really take this opportunity to bring down the Second Prince, then we would be more than happy to do so!

I doubt he would dare to agree.

Unexpectedly, Jun Jingyan did not hesitate at all.

"Your subject is willing!"

Emperor Yong's tone held a deeper meaning: "Are you really sure?"

Once a prince is sent to his fiefdom, it means that he may never return to the capital except by summons.

This means that he will never have the chance to succeed to the throne, but he is willing to do so.

"Yes, I will repay your life-saving grace tenfold. Even if it costs me my life, I will not let her be in danger."

Emperor Yong's expression grew even more somber.

Unexpectedly, his sons are all romantics.

Previously, I thought the Fourth Prince was blinded by love and disregarded the dignity of the royal family, but now it seems that the Second Prince is even worse.

This made him even more curious: what kind of woman could make him willing to give up his kingdom and the throne?

"Summon the Imperial Guards to investigate all suspicious areas; no clue, however small, should be overlooked."

Jun Qiyuan was greatly alarmed.

What? The Imperial Guards have all arrived.

Surely the secret room in the study couldn't escape their notice.

Sure enough, not long after, the news came.

A secret room was discovered behind the study in the Prince's mansion, but no one was inside.

Jun Qiyuan finally relaxed his clenched fist, it seemed that Murong Xiao had taken care of things.

He immediately said, "The investigation has been completed; you should believe my innocence now, right?"

As for secret rooms, which mansion doesn't have a few?

As long as the person cannot be found, he cannot be convicted.

Emperor Yong's gaze finally fell on Jun Jingyan.

"What else do you have to say now?"

"Father, I swear on my life that Doctor Yun has been kidnapped by my fourth brother. If you can rescue her, I am willing to accept any punishment."

Jun Qiyuan scoffed, "Second Imperial Brother, the evidence is right before your eyes, yet you still dare to spread rumors and slander. Do you really think there are no laws in the Great Yong?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a cold laugh came from the doorway.

"The Fourth Prince has a good plan, but unfortunately he has met me. His scheme is doomed to fail."

Seeing that familiar figure, whose imposing presence was unmatched.

Jun Qiyuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his fists clenched instinctively.

Emperor Yong was also somewhat surprised.

"King Xuan? What brings you here?"

The man quickly explained his purpose.

It turns out that Doctor Yun was not only the Second Prince's "savior", but also a physician in the Xuan Prince's mansion, taking care of the Princess Consort during her pregnancy.

She went out to gather herbs today and disappeared without a trace. After investigation, it was discovered that the last mark she left behind was the Fourth Prince's residence.

They realized this was unusual, so they split into two groups.

One went directly to the prince's residence to demand the person's return, while the other secretly infiltrated the prince's residence to investigate.

Although it was unreasonable to do so, the Fourth Prince had kidnapped people first, so they couldn't be blamed for resorting to desperate measures.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yong was momentarily unsure whether to feel anger or shock.

Forget it, let's figure out the situation first before settling accounts!

"So, how did your investigation go?"

"If we hadn't come here in person, how would we have known that the Fourth Prince's residence was full of hidden talents? Behind the study, there was not only a secret room, but also a secret passage connecting it to the outside world. If we hadn't arrived in time, the person would probably have already been smuggled out through the secret passage, and the Second Prince would have had to bear the blame for this undeserved disaster."

Jun Qiyuan was terrified upon hearing this.

He was initially puzzled as to why only his second brother had appeared.

It turned out to be a coordinated attack from within and without!

Could it be that Father Emperor was also deliberately sent by them?

And Murong Xiao, has he already been exposed?

Jun Jingyan hurriedly asked, "Where is Doctor Yun? How is she?"

Soon, Yun Dai was helped inside.

She was clearly badly injured, with more than a dozen whip marks on her body, each one dripping with blood, and she was unconscious.

Seeing how badly she was injured, Jun Jingyan could no longer control himself and rushed over in one stride.

Emperor Yong frowned when he saw her covered in blood.

No matter what, the Great Yong Dynasty still has laws. How could the emperor sit idly by while people are kidnapped without cause and subjected to torture?

He immediately glared angrily at Jun Qiyuan: "Now that the person has been found, what else do you have to say?"

Jun Qiyuan never expected that things would be exposed so easily.

A cold sweat broke out on his back instantly, and he frantically racked his brains for a way to turn things around.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a figure walking in and instantly had an idea.

"You bitch, did you do this?"

Before Jiang Ruoyao could react, she received a hard slap across the face.

"What?"

"Wasn't it you who, upon learning that Second Prince was getting close to a female physician from the Xuan Prince's residence, sent people to capture her as revenge? Weren't the whip marks on her body inflicted by you?"

Jiang Ruoyao quickly realized that they wanted her to take the blame.

Although she was indeed the one who caused the injury, she can at most be considered an accomplice.

The real mastermind is clearly...

Just as she was about to speak, she received a suggestive look from Jun Qiyuan.

The only way to minimize the damage to ourselves is to make her admit all her crimes.

If something happens to the Fourth Prince's residence, she won't be able to escape unscathed; in the end, everyone will be ruined together!

But if she confesses alone, it's just a feud between women at most!

Even if they are to be punished, it won't be too severe, and with me pleading on their behalf, nothing bad will happen.
