After leaving Baizhen Building, King Jin went straight back to his palace.

Wen Songtao, who stayed where he was, pondered for a long time, and couldn't grasp the things that flashed through his mind just now.

I can only go back to the house in a carriage.

Along the way, he went over everything that happened in the recent period in his mind.

Since the emperor wanted to attack Lord Zhen Guo, then it was reported that Lord Zhen Guo was buried in a sea of ​​flames, and he remembered the face that was half burned by the fire.

At that time, he thought it was very strange, but now it seems that it is indeed very strange.

Reminiscent of the fact that King Jin suddenly asked him what he thought of Prince Li's Mansion just now, it seems that this has a lot to do with Prince Li's Mansion.

Thinking about it, Duke Zhen was put under house arrest in Duke Zhen's mansion after he was brought back from the north by King Jin. It should be very difficult to communicate with the outside world.

Since King Jin said that Lord Zhen is still alive, then the body whose face was half destroyed back then must not be Lord Zhen.

Obviously this is premeditated, so who will help Zhen Guogong?
Prince Li's Mansion?

But why did Prince Li's Mansion do this?
He still knows a lot about Prince Li's Mansion. After being silent for so many years, although his thoughts are a little inexplicable, why did he suddenly move?

The confidence that Lord Zhen Guo gave them?
But the current Zhen Guogong is not what he used to be, and what kind of person is Zhen Guogong?
Back then, someone who was so powerful that even the emperor dared to suppress him, if he cooperated with such a person, if he didn't get it right, big trouble would happen.

Prince Li's Mansion has been able to keep a low profile and silence for so many years, it must not be someone without brains.

"What is the reason that makes Prince Li's mansion like this?"

Wen Songtao frowned and began to think, until he reached the mansion, he didn't think about it.

He walked to the living room with a wooden face and sat down. After a while, Wen Xuan came back and saw his father sitting in the living room frowning blankly.

"Eldest son, the master has been out of his mind since he came back at noon. It has been more than two hours."

Hearing this, Wen Xuan was very shocked, and also very puzzled in his heart, what happened to make his father so distraught.

"Father."

"Father?"

After shouting several times in a row, Wen Songtao came back to his senses, his eyes were still a little dull, and when he saw Wen Xuan, his eyes regained some focus.

"Why did you come back so early? Is the Yamen okay?"

"Father, it's almost evening now."

Wen Songtao was taken aback, and turned his head to look outside, the sky was indeed getting dark.

"Father, are you in any trouble?"

Hearing this, Wen Songtao shook his head firmly and said, "It's nothing, I'm just wondering why the emperor didn't deal with Prince Li's son today."

"Maybe it's because of King Jin."

Wenxuan directly expressed his thoughts.

"After all, the founding marquis would definitely not get involved in the original selection, so only King Ning and King Zhao are left. They have no chance at all if they want to compete with King Jin."

Many people have noticed the problem in the matter of the court today, and Wenxuan is not the only one who thinks this way in this analysis.

Didn't Wen Songtao think the same way at first?
Regarding his words, Wen Songtao didn't say anything, but he still remembered what King Jin had said to him, there were some things that he couldn't tell others, even his own son.

"It's fine to talk about these things at home, but you can't go outside and talk nonsense."

"Son, save it."

Wenxuan naturally knew that these words should not be said outside.

"Hey, speaking of it, I'm still a little worried about Princess Wanfu."

Hearing his words, Wen Songtao was silent for a moment, and said, "Yaoyao is a capable girl, and she has a very high reputation now. Even if the emperor has the heart, he doesn't dare to be too blatant."

"That's right, Princess Wanfu is indeed very capable. Now that she has been staying outside the city, she seems to have noticed it a long time ago, right?"

"Grandfather, what does the emperor mean by doing this today?"

In Prince Li's mansion, Xiao Wen, the eldest son of Prince Li's son, frowned and asked.

Although they didn't go to the morning court, there were people from them in the court hall, so they were very clear about what happened in the morning court today.

But after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a reason.

Now that those impeachment memorials were released in the court, it was clear that he wanted to spread this matter out and deal with it.

But then came a big reversal, raised it high and put it down gently, not only did it not deal with it, it was not even punished?
It's not normal, it's so abnormal.

Although Prince Li has a high seniority in the royal family, he has lived in seclusion for so many years. To be honest, he is not very close to the emperor. Naturally, there will not be much affection and face.

"I did think of something, could it be because of guarding against this King Jin?"

"Grandfather, you are wrong."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a beautiful figure walking in from outside.

The person who walked in at this moment was Prince Li's direct granddaughter—Xiao Lanyue, Princess Yongning.

"Xiao Yueer is here, come and sit quickly."

Seeing that it was his granddaughter, Prince Li immediately showed a loving smile on his face and waved to her.

Xiao Lanyue walked up to him and sat down. Only then did Prince Li ask: "Xiao Yue'er, you just said that grandfather was wrong, where is the mistake?"

"The emperor's actions today are not to guard against King Jin."

"No, to be precise, it's not entirely to guard against King Jin."

Hearing this, both Prince Li and Xiao Wen frowned. What do you mean they were not entirely in defense of King Jin?
"Although the emperor is on guard against King Jin, there is one more thing about today's matter."

"Oh? Xiaoyue, tell me about it."

Prince Li attaches great importance to this granddaughter. Why does he love this granddaughter so much? Firstly, she is the only daughter among his grandchildren, and secondly, this daughter is very smart.

It is even said that Xiao Lanyue's intelligence is higher than that of her elder brother and father.

At this time, when she heard that there was another point, Prince Li also became serious.

"Grandfather, have you ever thought that the emperor knows that Duke Zhen is not dead?"

As soon as these words came out, Prince Li frowned, shook his head and said, "Isn't that likely? Considering the emperor's temper and hatred for Duke Zhen, if he knew that Duke Zhen was not dead, wouldn't he be dead?" Will you let it go?"

"At the beginning, he didn't pursue it too much, and he held a funeral for Lord Zhen?"

"Grandfather may be right about this, but it doesn't rule out that he's just playing tricks."

"Just count?"

Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes, then widened his mouth and said, "Could it be that he deliberately let Duke Zhen go and make him Ru Beidi?"

"No, isn't he afraid that this is letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Prince Li seemed to have come to his senses at this time, and said in a deep voice; "If it wasn't for our family's involvement, it would indeed be considered letting the tiger go back to the mountain, but the current leader of the Northland is your father. Control of the land will never be easy."

"As for union"

"It's clear to him now that we can't possibly unite."
