In Yanjing late at night, it was drizzling.

The raindrops fell on the bluestone slabs on the ground, making a rustling sound.

“It’s raining.”

Lin Fan was sitting in the study room at home, looking at the rain outside the window, turning around and picking up the books in his hand and continuing to read.

At this moment, a sudden sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the door, bang bang bang bang.

Then, the door was pushed open, Lin Fan frowned and looked over.

Su Qianjue looked a little ugly and said, "Lin Fan, something happened."

"What happened?" Lin Fan immediately stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The crown princess suddenly found the token of Qin Yi and Qi at her home in Qinglong Mansion, and the evidence was conclusive. After Qin Yi was discovered, she wanted to kill someone to silence her, stabbing the third prince, and her life was hanging on the line."

When Lin Fan heard this, he immediately understood that this matter was not simple.

"Let's go to the Prince's Mansion." Lin Fan said in a deep voice.

He and Su Qianjue went out and rode to the prince's mansion in the rain.

The two strode into the Prince's Mansion. In the hall, they were lit with candles. Wang Gouzi walked back and forth in the hall, and his eyes were also gloomy.

"My benefactor, you are here." Wang Gouzi hurriedly said when he saw Lin Fan coming, "Have you told you about the matter?"

"Yeah." Lin Fan nodded, and he asked in a low voice: "Where is the Crown Princess, what do you say?"

"I asked her, and she promised that her father would not be a spy in Qi State." Wang Gouzi hurriedly said: "But the evidence is conclusive, and when my father-in-law found out, he stabbed the third prince Xiao Yuanming."

Su Qianjue said from the side: "The incident happened suddenly. Now Qin Yi has been taken to Yanjing. The third prince is seriously injured. He has been sent back to Yanjing by the monk in advance and is healing in the Yan Palace."

"I understand." Lin Fan frowned. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen suddenly. He said, "How could this third prince suddenly go to Qinglong Mansion?"

"I don't know." Wang Gouzi shook his head repeatedly.

"Crown Prince, don't worry." Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't forget to investigate the case, let alone the major case of spies in Qi State, which must be handed over to our Jinyiwei. Even if Qin Yi is detained into Beijing, it is still in our own hands."

"It's not difficult to find out the truth."

When Wang Gouzi heard this, his nervous expression calmed down a little.

Yes, now he is the crown prince, not the prince who had just entered the capital and had no foundation.

"I'll ask someone to investigate this matter immediately." After Lin Fan said that, he turned around and went out, riding a horse and heading directly to the home where Jiang Zhiming lived.

...

In a bedroom in Yanhuang Palace, Xiao Yuanming was lying on the bed. The genius doctor Hua Chen next to him took out the dagger from Xiao Yuanming's chest and treated the wound.

Emperor Yan nervously crossed the steps back and forth in the outer hall.

Not long after, Hua Chen walked out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the third prince's injury is not serious. Although it seems horrible, it cannot hurt the heart and lungs. After recuperation for a while, you will be cured."

When Emperor Yan heard this, the stone in his heart finally fell.

He had already gone to bed before. When he learned about this, he could not feel sleepy. He had not had much time to go.

When Prince Xiao Yuanshen died, he was extremely uncomfortable, and now this happened to the third prince again.

How could he be better?

It’s not good to give a white-haired person a black-haired person.

Huang Zishi next to him said respectfully: "Your Majesty, since the third prince is safe, you should take a break early, your body..."

"No problem, I'll go in and see tomorrow." Emperor Yan waved his hand and strode into the dormitory.

Xiao Yuanming's face was pale. He lost a lot of blood this time.

"Father," Xiao Yuanming turned his head and looked at Emperor Yan and said, "My son passed by Qinglong Mansion. He wanted to visit the Crown Princess's father, but unexpectedly, I accidentally discovered the superstition of contact between him and Qi. The Crown Princess' father turned out to be a spy from Qi."

"I know, everyone knows." Emperor Yan nodded with a serious expression. He frowned and said, "But this matter was intentional..."

Xiao Yuanming smiled bitterly: "Does the father think that his son is framed Qin Yi this time?"

Emperor Yan shook his head and said, "I don't mean that, just take a good rest."

After saying that, Emperor Yan turned around and walked out of the dormitory.

His face was heavy. As soon as Xiao Yuanlong became the crown prince, the secret letter of contact with Qi was found in the house of the crown prince.

Is there such a coincidence?

Emperor Yan came outside the house with his hands behind his back. Huang Zishi followed him. He had been following Emperor Yan for many years and could detect Emperor Yan's emotions. He whispered: "Your Majesty, this may be..."

"Nothing is possible." Emperor Yan said lightly: "Although I am old, I have seen too many things in the court."

"Let Wei Zheng come and find out the matter."

When Huang Zishi heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, you have promised to revoke all rights of the West Factory, if so..."

"Is that right?" Emperor Yan pondered for a while, sighed, and said, "I have not had much time to do so, just give Yuanlong the experience. If he can't even protect his wife, I won't blame me."

The next morning, Qin Yi was detained in Yanjing.

Morning morning court.

Emperor Yan smiled and chatted with the ministers about court affairs, as if nothing had happened.

Just as these court affairs were finished talking, a civil servant stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty! I have something to report."

"explain."

"I heard that he had found out the superstition of colluding with Qi at the home of the Crown Princess. Qin Yi was afraid that he was a spy from Qi. The Crown Princess had bad intentions when he came into contact with the Crown Prince. I beg Your Majesty to investigate the matter thoroughly!"

Emperor Yan has not replied yet.

There were more than 30 civil servants in the court, all shouting: "I will discuss it!"

Emperor Yan narrowed his eyes. He could already guess who the mastermind behind this matter was.

Only the three major factions of Yan State can control the civil officials in the court to stand up and speak.

Among them, the Wushuang Sword Sect has the deepest power in the court.

Many officials have some interest in the Wushuang Sword Sect behind their backs.

Wang Gouzi stood below and said, "Father, my son and I have heard of this and have asked the Jinyiwei to find out the matter."

At this time, the Minister of Justice Mulun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty Yan Emperor, Lin Fan, commander of the Jinyiwei, has an indescribable relationship with the prince. The Jinyiwei needs to avoid suspicion. According to my opinion, you might as well detain someone in my Ministry of Justice, and our Ministry of Justice will try this case."

When Wang Gouzi heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Mr. Mu, is this inappropriate? Could it be that I can still be a spy in Qi State?"

Mulun said lightly: "It is better for Your Highness to avoid suspicion in this matter. If the Crown Princess and Qin Yi are innocent, it will be better."
