After running around for a day, it was not until dark that Xiahou Xuan returned home with heavy steps.

After riding a horse for a day, he couldn't even close his legs and could only be supported by Xiong Meng and another guard.

Before he entered the main hall, Xiahou Xuan heard the cheerful singing. He accelerated his pace, rushed to the door, held the wall and looked in, and was immediately amazed and crying.

Cao Miao was dancing, but his dancing posture was a bit weird, like a wooden man, his feet were stiff and he was slow to move, and he could not tell any beauty, but he couldn't say anything weird. However, after watching it for a long time, he developed an inexplicable temptation, which made people unable to suppress their desire to twist and sway with him.

Xiahou Yan was like this. He clapped his hands and shook his body. The crisp laughter was filled with joy, making people want to laugh, and the fatigue of the day seemed to have dissipated a lot.

"Brother, brother, come and dance." Xiahou Yan rushed over when he saw Xiahou Xuan, and said breathlessly. His smooth forehead was covered with shiny beads of sweat, and his round face was red, making people unable to help but want to take a bite.

Xiahou Xuan reached out and pinched his sister's little face. "I'm almost married, but I'm still so crazy."

"No." Xiahou Yan lowered his head shyly, a little shy. "My cousin said, I should get married after I was eighteen, so that I won't have difficulty giving birth, and the child is strong, and the possibility of premature death will be much lower."

"He still understands this? Don't listen to him talking nonsense." Xiahou Xuan couldn't laugh or cry. "Didn't he come to visit his family last time? After the Chinese New Year, you will be married when you turn thirteen."

Xiahou Yan responded softly, and his mood became much lower.

"Taichu is back?" Cao Miao also stopped, looked at Cao Miao, and let out a "pop". "What's going on with you? You're too big and you're pulling your eggs?"

Xiahou Xuan was in a bad mood, and he felt unhappy when he heard Cao Miao speak crudely. "Yunliang, come with me, I have something to say to you."

Cao Miao blinked. "Have you caught Sima Shi?"

Hearing Sima Shi's name, Princess Deyang and Xiahou Yan became nervous and looked at Xiahou Xuan at the same time. Xiahou Xuan said angrily: "That's your speculation, this matter has nothing to do with him."

Princess Deyang, Xiahou Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Miao stared at Xiahou Xuan and looked at him without saying anything. She walked aside with him. Xiahou Xuan also felt that his tone was not very good just now, so he adjusted his mood, said the general story, and finally took out a golden waist card.

"This is the school affairs waist card given to me by Your Majesty. If you hold this waist card, you can adjust the nearby school affairs cooperation."

Cao Miao glanced at it. "So, Your Majesty asked you to investigate this case."

Xiahou Xuan nodded, hesitated for a while before saying, "The war in Yangzhou is tense, Your Majesty has no time to distract you, so I can only be responsible for this matter temporarily. Before you capture Wang Ji, you should stay here temporarily and try not to go out to avoid accidents."

"How do you plan to check?"

Xiahou Xuan turned around, looked at Cao Miao, and his eyebrows frowned. He was silent for a moment. "I have my own way."

Cao Miao laughed silently. "You have a big solution." Before Xiahou Xuan could retort, he said again: "You just don't want to check, right?"

Xiahou Xuan closed his mouth tightly and said nothing, and sighed after a long time. "Yunliang, this matter is more complicated than you think. The possibility of finding evidence that can prove that Wang Ji is involved is slim. If you can't find evidence, what can you do if you find Wang Ji? No matter which prison he is sent to, you cannot condemn him, otherwise you will be using personal power."

"Since that's the case, it's better not to catch it and drag it down." Cao Miao sneered: "Why do you mean that?"

Xiahou Xuan nodded, felt that he was not confident enough, and added. "Wang Ji was Wang Chang's subordinate brother, and Wang Chang was the old minister of the Eastern Palace of the late emperor. If there was no conclusive evidence, it would inevitably make people think that Your Majesty was interested in targeting the old minister of the late emperor. At that time, Wang Chang would not be the only one who was disloyal from the court, and the Great Wei might collapse at any time."

Cao Miao sneered: "So, Your Majesty gives you this school affairs card and asks you to be responsible for this matter, just let you drag it out?"

Xiahou Xuan was silent. He did think so. The matter involved in the royal family, and the emperor could not ignore it, nor could he really investigate it. Giving this mission to him is to let him bear this responsibility. When the royal family asked, he was a relative after all, so it would not be too ugly.

"The leader of the Four Cong, haha." Cao Miao sneered, turned around and left. "Since that's the case, I won't bother you. I'll check it myself."

Xiahou Xuan was shocked and before he could react, Princess Deyang in the hall said, "Yunliang, where are you going? You can't go anywhere."

Cao Miao stopped and bowed to Princess Deyang. "Thank you for your concern. It's just that I have been a prisoner for ten years and don't want to continue like this. No matter how good the princess's mansion is, it's just a cell for me. Instead of doing so, it's better to compete with them and die happily."

After saying that, Cao Miao turned around and left. Xiahou Xuan hurriedly chased after him and grabbed Cao Miao's arm.

"You cannot leave, this is the will of your Majesty."

"Your Majesty's will?" Cao Miao turned his head and looked at Xiahou Xuan, showing a desolate smile. "It's like nonsense to the aristocratic families, but it's an iron rule that cannot be touched by the royal family. Don't you think such a will is very sad?" He slowly broke away from Xiahou Xuan's arm. "Don't worry, I won't implicate you. At worst, I will wander around the world and be my family in the future. Wouldn't it be okay if I don't become this prince?"

After Cao Miao finished speaking, he laughed loudly and left.

Xiahou Xuan was stunned and stood there in a daze, his mind suddenly exploded, and he felt like he had some clues, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

Princess Deyang rushed up and glared at Xiahou Xuan hatefully. "You can't even handle this matter, so why are you the leader of the Four Congs? If your sister encounters trouble in the future, can you still count on you?" After that, she took a step and chased Cao Miao.

Xiahou Yan looked at Xiahou Xuan, but he wanted to speak but stopped, so he also chased Cao Miao.

Xiahou Xuan's spiritual light flashed and he instantly understood the emperor's meaning.

Wang Ji wanted to kill Cao Miao, but the court was humiliating the emperor. The emperor gave him a badge not only to make him a shield and to endure the anger of the royal family, but also hoped that he could find out the truth. As long as he could find out the truth, even if he could not bring Wang Ji to justice in the end, he could put pressure on the ministers and save some face. It was not completely meaningless.

On the contrary, if there was no evidence, the emperor had no reason to fight with the ministers at all, so he had to put the blame on him.

Xiahou Xuan stomped his feet, crossed his legs, and staggered after him. "Yunliang, stay!" His legs and hips were so painful that he couldn't run fast. Fortunately, Xiong Meng outside the door heard his screams and stopped Cao Miao. Princess Deyang and Xiahou Yan also rushed over, pulling Cao Miao's sleeves, and preventing him from leaving.

Xiahou Xuan walked to Cao Miao, grinning in pain and sweating in cold sweat. "Yunliang, don't leave, I'll check it."

"How do you check?" Cao Miao asked back with a sneer.

"I..." Xiahou Xuan was speechless for a moment. He was indeed clueless. The first time he did such a thing, he had no experience at all, and he didn't even have the right goal to ask anyone for advice. He thought about it and took a deep breath. "Yunliang, how do you think about it?"

"Go to Zhijinwu Temple."
