Shen Xuhuai avoided all eyes and ears, and returned to the capital first. He didn't even get news of Wen Sheng, and he was still looking for his whereabouts in Tongzhou at this time.

He didn't go back to Dingguohou's mansion, but took the greeting card and went directly to the palace.

After Cai Qi got the news, he was so angry that he smashed a teacup on the spot: "You really underestimated him! You deliberately let the people from the yamen search on the mountain to confuse their eyes, but you sneaked back to the capital by yourself! It seems that Song Yinian bet the treasure on him. On the body, it is the right bet."

The subordinate tremblingly knelt down in the hall and said: "Master, this subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish him!"

Cai Qi rubbed the center of his brows irritably: "What's the use of punishing you now? Shen Xuhuai has already entered the palace to face the saint. If His Majesty sends someone over, even if we can get rid of the relationship, everything I did before will be in vain!"

The Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion never liked to get mixed up in these right and wrong, this time Shen Xuhuai would ask for an order to go to Tongzhou, which was surprising, he did not expect that he would actually find out there.

In this way, it will be even more difficult to completely get rid of Fu Mingjue.

After calming down, Cai Qi walked to Songhe Hall.

Cai Yuan acted calmly about this matter, took a sip of tea, and said: "I have already had someone remove the contents inside, even if he finds out, it's okay. He wants to save the Ling family, but Shen Chong will not just watch He dragged the entire Dingguohou Mansion into the water."

"But father—" Cai Qi wanted to say something, but was interrupted.

"Now that Changchun Palace is happy, he has also left the capital, and the matter with Tongzhou should be over." Cai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his tensed brows gradually relaxed.

Speaking of the palace, Cai Qi hesitated a little: "Your Majesty knows your purpose of sending Aya into the palace, will he let Aya give birth to a prince?"

"Heh, he has to agree if he doesn't agree. This child must be safe." After a moment of pause, he continued, "At least nothing will happen to Changchun Palace until the first snow falls in the capital."

Hearing this, Cai Qi's heart was shocked, but the excitement could not be concealed in his eyes.

He knows that this silent war that has been stalemate for many years is finally coming to an end
Shen Xuhuai was cautious all the way, deliberately bypassing the government, and only managed to return to the capital after three consecutive days.

He thought everything would turn around when he returned to Beijing to see His Majesty, but His Majesty's attitude made him suspicious.

Fu Xiuyun sat on the dragon chair and said: "Song Yinian has been in contact with the capital all these years, and now he is dead, and there is only one book left in that stone room, and what Liu Shu found when he inspected the northern border. The secret about the iron mine. This can indeed prove that Song Yinian is guilty, but it cannot prove that King Jing is innocent."

Liu Shu was indeed killed by Song Yinian, but how to explain the death of "Jiangzhou"?
Song Yinian colluded with Zhao Guanglin, concealed the Guiyagu Iron Mine, and killed the court official.All of them committed capital crimes, but they were already dead, so who knew if Fu Mingjue was among them?

Shen Xuhuai heard the meaning of his words, and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Shu did not die at the hands of King Jing, can you re-investigate this case?"

Fu Xiuyun frowned, and his face was a little ugly: "I have made my own decision on this matter. You have been working hard all night, so come here first today. You can also go back and rest."

Shen Xuhuai did not stay any longer, saluted and exited the Yizheng Hall.

When Fang left the palace, he saw a gray carriage parked around the corner, and immediately walked over there.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, the curtain of the car was pulled open, accompanied by a voice of resentment: "Shen Chao, you have deceived me so hard!"

".What did I lie to you?"

When Shen Xuhuai got into the carriage, seeing Ling Qingyan pulling his face, he almost didn't laugh out loud.

"Are you still embarrassed to laugh?" Ling Qingyan was furious, "Do you know that I was so frightened when I heard the news of your assassination and disappearance?! You are lucky! You went back to the capital without telling everyone, thanks to me Worrying about you every day!"

Shen Xuhuai smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I have no other choice."

The Cai family never gave up on finding his whereabouts. If they rejoined Wen Sheng before returning to Beijing, it would give them a chance to breathe, so he made such a bad move.

But as far as today is concerned, he returned to Beijing in a hurry, and it seemed that he was still a step late.

"I handed over the criminal evidence of Song Yinian and Zhao Guanglin, His Majesty didn't react too much, but what happened in Beijing recently?"

"You guessed it right," Ling Qingyan raised her eyes, "Concubine Yu is pregnant, the Cai family has really become the sun in the sky this time, and it may be difficult to make it fall."

Shen Xuhuai was surprised: "Everyone knows the purpose of Cai's eldest daughter, how could His Majesty let her give birth to a prince?"

"It would be true that His Majesty would not have done so before, but everything is different now."

Shen Xuhuai stared into deep thought, and it took almost a moment for him to understand the deep meaning of his words: "Has your Majesty's health not improved yet?"

Ling Qingyan did not deny it: "After you left, Your Majesty's headaches became more and more serious. The Imperial Hospital developed a medicine called Jinsui Wan, which is said to be able to cure headaches. At first, Your Majesty took it every three days, but recently it has been taken every three days. Take it three times a day. A few days ago in the morning court, His Majesty fell ill, so he insisted on not taking the medicine, and finally fainted in court. Although the imperial doctor said that there is no serious problem, I think His Majesty’s body may not be able to bear it anymore.”

Shen Xuhuai's complexion gradually darkened when he thought of Fu Xiuyun's strange appearance just now.

The dragon's body was sick, but the Tai Hospital concealed it and did not report it. Its heart is clear.

"Do you know who made the Jin Sui Wan?" Shen Xuhuai asked.

"Yao Xingzheng, the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital." Ling Qingyan checked this person, and he came from a humble background with mediocre qualifications. He had been in the Taiyuan Hospital for ten years before he was appointed as the envoy.

But it is precisely because of this that it makes people feel strange.

"His background is very clean, so clean that no one can find any flaws. Before that, he had never shown his talents. Until Sun Zhongxing left, he became an envoy of the imperial hospital after Sun Zhongxing left. It is really unbelievable. .”

Shen Xuhuai: "No matter what his purpose is, His Majesty cannot be allowed to continue taking Jin Sui Wan."

Ling Qingyan showed a look of embarrassment: "Sun Fuzhi hasn't returned to Beijing yet, and His Majesty doesn't trust anyone in the Imperial Hospital except Yao Xingzheng."

"Don't worry about it, he will be back in two days."

"How did you know?"

"On the way back, I met them in Guiya Valley." Shen Xuhuai didn't elaborate, straightened his robe and prepared to go down.

Ling Qingyan was taken aback: "Where are you going? Aren't you going back to Dingguohou's Mansion?"

"There are still some things to deal with, you go back first." After finishing speaking, the man got out of the car.

Ling Qingyan stared suspiciously at his leaving back, and muttered to himself, "Strange, it's so strange."

Mo Shu nodded in agreement: "Shizi Shen is indeed very strange. In the past, you would have sent him back to his residence, young master, but today he left first."

"That's right," Ling Qingyan agreed, and then jumped off the carriage, "I'll follow and have a look, you go back first."
