When Xinyang Princess Mansion, Xinyang heard that Xiao Qian had entered the palace to meet the saint, and then Minister Lin was demoted and Prince Jing was punished to think about his mistakes in the door, so he was stunned for a moment.

She thought the matter was exposed, after all, the person fell into Xiao Qian's hands.

She had already prepared a scapegoat, and she said that her popularity was only because Qingrou was bullied and wanted to vent her anger.

As a result, King Jing and Minister Lin became scapegoats.

"Your Highness, could it be that Hong Rui and Bai Shuang pushed the matter to Minister Lin and Prince Jing?" Madam Miao said in surprise.

Princess Xinyang shook her head slightly: "No, Xiao Qian is smart. If the evidence is not conclusive, just relying on the testimony of Hongrui and Bai Shuang would not deceive him. I looked for it. I was afraid that King Jing had fallen in love with Lin Yanyan. Minister Lin set up a bureau to please Prince Jing, but it ended up colliding with our plan."

She had heard before that Concubine Zhu expressed her intention to make Lin Yanyan the concubine in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, but was rejected by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

"It's a coincidence. I hope that the Tenth Highness thinks the case has been settled and will not interrogate Hong Rui and Bai Shuang again."

Princess Xinyang frowned and sighed, "I'm afraid things will not be settled so easily. What a good opportunity. The only thing is that Xiao Qian came too timely. If you miss this opportunity, if you want to attack Lin Yanyan, you will have to assassinate one way."

She also regretted that if she had known that things would be exposed, she would let Hongrui and Baishuang kill the person directly. She asked them to bring Lin Yanyan to her and enjoy the feeling of prey crawling at her feet and begging, and even failed.

"Your Highness, why don't I go and take Hongrui and Bai Shuang..." Madam Miao made a silence gesture.

To prevent the two of them from being unable to stand the torture and cause trouble.

Princess Xinyang said: "You can try it, but now Shuntian Mansion is a solid piece, so it is not so easy to start. Be cautious and stop if you don't."

Before the red stamen and white frost were attacked, they took the initiative to expose themselves.

King Zhao, who received the news, was also shocked. What did the tenth brother tell his father? He asked the third brother to think about it behind closed doors.

"Brother, why don't I go to Lao Shi to drink and stumble on the slightest thing? By the way, I will win over Lao Shi." Lao Jiu said.

King Zhao pondered: "Old Twelve offended the third brother completely this time. We will take the opportunity to win over you, but even if we cannot win over you, we must be in good terms. Now the tenth brother is different now. Just one word can make the third brother think about it behind closed doors for a month. It's not simple!"

Lao Jiushen agreed: "No? We tried our best to get the third brother so severely punished in the past."

King Zhao glanced at him, do you mean I am useless?

Lao Jiu knew that he had said the wrong thing and said embarrassedly: "I didn't mean that, I was just curious about what the hell was going to catch the third one."

So Lao Jiu brought a jar of good wine to Xiao Qian's mansion. When he learned that Xiao Qian was busy with official business, he stayed in the government office, so he rode his horse to the government office again.

Xiao Qian was in prison and interrogating Mrs. Qiao. When he heard that Lao Jiu was coming, he asked Lu Zhaonan to continue the trial and went to meet Lao Jiu himself.

"Brother Jiu, why are you free to come to me today?"

"I'll be happy today! I've brought Huadiao for twenty years and have two drinks together."

Xiao Qian thoughtfully said: Lao Jiu is really gloating without any concealment. It is estimated that Lao Jiu is here to inquire about why Prince Jing was punished.

This is related to the royal decency and Yan Yan's reputation, and he will not say it.

So he said with a bitter face: "I still have a lot of official duties and can't drink it, otherwise I'll drink tea!"

"What's the point of drinking tea? Just drink less." Lao Jiu took the teacup and poured it on Xiao Qian without saying anything.

"Lao Shi, I heard that the third brother was confined by his father, and I also heard that you sued the third brother for a lawsuit. Let me tell me! What's going on? Let me have fun." Lao Jiu said with a smile.

Xiao Qian was surprised: "Who said I sued my third brother? I just went to report on the epidemic. The third brother's confinement had nothing to do with me."

Xiao Qian left a clean sheet.

"Old Shi, can you be more happy? I'm not here to settle the score with you. I'm here to thank you. Third brother is used to being arrogant and deserves to be today."

"Brother Jiu, I really don't know. I'm very unfair. I just accidentally entered the palace today, so it really has nothing to do with me."

Seeing Xiao Qian's sincerity, Lao Jiu couldn't help but waver: "It really has nothing to do with you?"

Xiao Qianzheng pointed: "Really."

Lao Jiu was puzzled: "This is strange. What did the third brother do to make his father so angry? Moreover, Minister Lin was demoted. These two decrees were issued at the same time. Could it be that the third brother's punishment was related to Minister Lin?"

"Brother Ninth, since my father doesn't know the order, he just doesn't want people to know the reason. We should not guess or ask." Xiao Qian advised.

Lao Jiu said embarrassedly: "It's just curious. I'll tell you that the third brother was confined. The imperial concubine was panicked and ran to the father's place to cry. The father didn't see her. At this moment, the imperial concubine was still kneeling outside the Zichen Hall. Lao Ba was even more anxious like an ant on a hot pan, and he was in a state of silence..."

Xiao Qian said: "Brother Jiu, this matter reveals a message."

Lao Jiu's eyes were Cheng Liang, and he looked at Xiao Qian with bright eyes: "What information?"

"You think the third brother is the most loved by my father. Even if my third brother did something wrong, it will be thundering and raining every time. Just like the last riot in the quarantine, it was obvious that my third brother was dereliction of duty. Did the father say anything? There was no serious statement, right! There was never such a heavy punishment."

“Yes, right…”

"So, I think my father is in a very bad mood recently. My third brother unfortunately hit the gun. So, we have to be more careful. If we make a mistake, it is not as simple as being confined to reflect for a month. Of course, this is also an opportunity for us to perform. As long as we do it seriously, the father will see it and compare it in his heart."

Lao Jiu nodded and agreed: "You are right. I remember that there is something that hasn't been done yet. I'll hurry up and let's have two more drinks next day."

Finally, Lao Jiu was sent away, and the fourth brother came again.

Xiao Qing entered the room and saw the wine jar and said, "Is Lao Jiu coming to see you for a drink?"

"Brother Ninth is here to inquire about the third brother. Could it be that the fourth brother is also here for the third brother's affairs?"

Xiao Qing smiled lightly and said, "I am not interested in the third brother's affairs. I heard that you went to visit your mother, and the mother scolded you again."

Xiao Qian disagreed: "I'm used to it."

"Sick people always have a bad temper. Don't take it seriously. During the days when my mother was sick, you went to Chenhua Palace to guard every day. My mother knew in her heart that one day she told me that Lao Shi was actually quite filial, but later you were busy with official business and went to less, so my mother was unhappy again. Today I took the opportunity to have an attack."

"Tenth brother, don't blame the fourth brother for being naughty. Mother, you still have to have some snacks. We are princes staring at each other. No matter how many things we have done or how much contribution we have made, an unfilial piety can make all your efforts go to nothing." Xiao Qing said earnestly.

Xiao Qian followed the wholeheartedly and said, "What the Fourth Brother said is that the epidemic is about to end, and I will visit my mother more in the future."

Xiao Qing smiled and said, "Don't work too hard, pay attention to your health. You have lost a lot in the past few months. Another day, I will come to the Fourth Brother's Mansion and ask your sister-in-law to arrange some delicious food for you."
