Chapter 198
Soon Admiral Li was invited to the mansion, and he confirmed Duan Yan's identity.

The matter is already obvious here, and Duan Yan said that he has never seen these two girls in the Rouge Building.

Seeing that the flames were on her body, one of the girls immediately retorted: "That's right, we did not belong to Yanzhi Building before, but now Yanzhi Building has been bought by Manchun Yuan, it is normal for people to change."

"Manchunyuan?"

Shangguan Jun had heard of this name before, but he didn't understand it. After thinking about it, he said to Yu Wenhao: "General, according to this old man, I should look into this Manchun Courtyard."

Although Shangguan Jun was very unwilling to believe that Concubine Yun Gui was wronged, but now it seems that she is indeed innocent, and Shangguan Jun is not the kind of unreasonable person. It is obvious that someone used his hands to deal with Concubine Yun Gui.

Shangguan Jun didn't want to be used for nothing, he must find out this person.

Yu Wenhao nodded, "I will immediately ask the emperor to block the Rouge Building and Manchun Courtyard."

Afterwards, Shangguan Jun brought Duan Yan into the palace and asked Duan Yan to tell Murong Yanye the whole story.

The outcome of the matter was within Murong Yanye's expectations, but Duan Yan's appearance was something he never expected.

"Now that the matter has been clarified, does Lord Shangguan think that I can lift the imperial concubine's confinement?"

Shangguan Jun couldn't tell that Murong Yanye was mocking him, felt embarrassed, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty, "It's my servant who misunderstood your mother, and I ask the emperor to punish him."

Murong Yanye naturally wouldn't punish him, so he snorted coldly and said, "Get up, I hope Lord Shangguan will not judge things based on emotion in the future, so as not to wrong a good person."

At this time, what else could Shangguan Jun say besides saying yes, "Yes, I would like to follow the instructions of the emperor."

Soon Murong Yanye issued an order to lift the confinement of Mingxin Palace, but Concubine Yun Gui sent someone to say that she wanted to see Duan Yan.

Murong Yanye thought that she wanted to reward Duan Yan, so she agreed and let the people of Mingxin Palace take Duan Yan away.

Seeing Duan Yan's appearance, Xia Zijin quickly said gratefully to Concubine Yun: "Thank you, master, slave."

Concubine Yun waved her hand, "Okay, take him away, I will send someone to send him out of the palace later."

After Xia Zijin thanked him again, he took Duan Yan to his room, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Thank you for this matter."

"You don't need to thank me, I just want to know where Yun'er and my father-in-law and mother-in-law are?"

Hearing this, Xia Zijin's expression darkened, showing a look of embarrassment, she really didn't know how to tell Duan Yan this cruel fact.

Seeing Xia Zijin's abnormal expression, Duan Yan felt uneasy, and asked nervously, "What's wrong? Did something happen to them?"

Although Xia Zijin really wanted to make up a lie to Duan Yan, she couldn't do so. The lie would eventually be seen through one day, and Duan Yan couldn't be fooled by just a lie.

Seeing that Xia Zijin was silent, Duan Yan suddenly asked angrily: "Do you not know their whereabouts at all? You just lied to me so that I could identify the corpses, didn't you?"

Xia Zijin shook her head, and finally told the truth in a low voice, "Xia Yun and her parents—both passed away."

Boom, it sounded like a bolt from the blue in Duan Yan's head, his face changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice: "What did you say? Say it again!"
