"Your Majesty, the county master and the King of Xiliang have returned to their mansion." Eunuch Yi reported the news he had just received to Emperor Jia Ning.

"With the two of them by their side, Yinyin should have a good time!" Emperor Jia Ning put down the book in his hand and asked, a trace of regret flickered in his eyes.

"The county owner didn't go to play either. There were ordinary people from all over the country. When she bought local specialties, she inquired about people's livelihood. Especially when she learned that the golden potatoes she brought back from Luzon were widely planted, she was very happy. ." Eunuch Yi couldn't open his eyes when he smiled.

Eunuch Yi couldn't help but sigh: "This year's drought is severe, and the people have no crops. It is this golden potato that helped them survive the crisis!"

"She is like this. She puts everyone in her heart and pays attention all the time." Emperor Jia Ning sighed.

If his son could have one-tenth of the sound, why would he be so worried about state affairs?

"Your Majesty, the county master is also a child you brought out. You held her in your arms to handle the state affairs. When she sees His Majesty's hard work, she will try her best to share His Majesty's worries!" Eunuch Yi comforted in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, you have done your best to raise the county master and the grandfather of the country. The county owner and the grandfather of the country also take you in their hearts and treat each other with love. Your Majesty should be content." Eunuch Yi persuaded in a low voice.

When Emperor Jia Ning heard the advice, he whispered, "Yes! I should be satisfied."

Xue Yaoan stood in front of the palace gate and whispered, "Your Majesty, General Sui is back, and he brought back a large box. General Sui wanted to open it for inspection, but General Sui refused, and General Sui had to come to ask for instructions."

"Let him in." When Emperor Jia Ning heard Sui Zhongyi's name, he immediately dropped the brush in his hand.

"Your Majesty, that wooden box is so huge that it has not been inspected yet, how can it enter the palace?" Xue Yaoan's eyes were reddened, and after receiving the order, he still insisted on persuading.

Eunuch Yi pushed open the door of the hall and ordered: "Your Majesty said: General Sui enters the hall, and the rest of the people retreat, and do not approach Xuan'an Hall."

"According to the order." Xue Yaoan and the other guards clasped their fists and turned to leave.

Xue Yaoan retreated, and Sui Zhongyi carried the box into the Xuan'an Hall.

"Your Majesty, we brought back the person you asked us to bring back." Sui Zhongyi closed the door and knelt at Emperor Jia Ning's feet.

Emperor Jia Ning looked at the heavy wooden box, and Sui Zhongyi immediately took out the key and opened the wooden box.

The man inside had a yellow face and thin muscles, his clothes were torn, and a long black cloth was stuck in his mouth. Looking at Emperor Jia Ning, tears streaming down his face, he hesitantly called out: "Father, father."
Emperor Jia Ning glanced down at the fourth prince, and Eunuch Yi immediately took the black cloth from the mouth of the fourth prince: "His Royal Highness."

The fourth prince was tied with his hands and feet, unable to move, so he could only cry and remorse: "Father, my son knows it's wrong, please forgive my son!"

Emperor Jia Ning replied coldly: "You have been demoted to a commoner, and you are no longer a prince. You must be cautious in your words and deeds."

Eunuch Yi stood beside Li Nanjue and reminded in a low voice, "Young Master, don't provoke Your Majesty."

He didn't know why His Majesty brought Li Nanjue, who had been exiled thousands of miles away, back to the palace.But he understands that Li Nanjue has been demoted, and he has no military exploits to atone for his sins. He will never be recalled to restore his identity. It should be an important matter to ask Li Nanjue for verification.

Li Nanjue looked at Emperor Jia Ning in disbelief: "Father, don't you think about the love between father and son?"

Emperor Jia Ning sneered, "Father-son relationship?"

"If you think about the relationship between father and son, you will never want me to die." Emperor Jia Ning returned to his seat and whispered: "The old six tried to kill me by vain."

"You buy a servant in the palace and put medicine in the spice. The boss has been pretending to be good, but secretly murdering Yinyin."

Saying that, Emperor Jia Ning looked at Li Nanjue and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, how many secrets do you know about the third child?"

What these people did secretly, he checked it out, and now the only thing he didn't find was Li Nanchen, the son he valued the most and disappointed him the most.

In the past, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that at least one person would be innocent, but now that so many things have happened, he has long given up.

Li Nanjue was exiled to hide people's eyes and ears, but now he is brought back to inquire about Li Nanchen. He wants to know what Li Nanchen has done behind his back?
"If you can tell Li Nanchen's secret, I will give you a sum of money, a sum of money that will allow you to live the rest of your life in peace." When the words fell, Emperor Jia Ning looked at Li Nanjue and gave him one last chance.

Li Nanjue nestled in the box and raised her eyes to look at Emperor Jia Ning who was aloof, and asked, "Imperial Father, this son has never murdered you."

Emperor Jia Ning lowered his eyes and snorted coldly: "Li Nanjue, Yinyin and Jingmo have been in and out of the palace in recent years, and every time they enter the palace, they will carefully check my food and utensils, those that are poisonous and those that are not poisonous, they look at me. can distinguish."

"You are always blaming me for favoring Jingmo and Yinyin. Faced with a group of wolves like you, why can't I favor Yinyin and Jingmo, who are the center of everything?" Emperor Jia Ning glanced at Li Nanjue and mocked. Said: "You are really a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water."

"I not only have a father, but also the emperor of Dongyuan. Do you think that I will be reluctant to attack you because of the love of flesh and blood?" Emperor Jia Ning waved.

Sui Zhongyi immediately took out the short dagger from his waist and handed it to Emperor Jia Ning.

Emperor Jia Ning held the dagger, got up again, and came to Li Nanjue: "You must be like everyone else, doubting why I dote on Yinyin so much and trust the King of Xiliang so much. Today I will tell you the answer."

"I have not been favored since I was a child. I was abandoned by the late emperor in the courtyard very early. It was Yinyin's mother who always took me with me, taught me to read and hyphenate words, and taught me martial arts, riding and shooting."

"Later, King Xiliang fell in love with the eldest princess at first sight, and gave up writing to martial arts. Since then, I have had an older brother by my side. I grew up with them in the military camp. I have seen torture in the military camp since I was a child. Do you want to try it? Try it?" Emperor Jia Ning grabbed Li Nanjue's neck, and the dagger quietly pressed against his heart: "Want to try it?"

Li Nanjue was born as a prince, and he had no worries about food and clothing. He had never been touched by someone with a knife in his heart, even though he had never seen blood. The icy tip of the knife was only a stone’s throw away from him, and he was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled: “Father. Your Majesty, are you going to torture me?"

Emperor Jia Ning smiled and said, "Guess what."

After the words fell, the dagger had pierced into Li Nanjue's flesh and blood.

Li Nanjue's last trace of doubt and hesitation disappeared, and he said, "The man behind the Caoyun case is the Third Emperor, and he has always been him."

"Brother Sanhuang also has contact with an aristocratic family in Xu country. He has quite a few Chinese people under him. He relies most on a pair of sisters. Brother Sanhuang is also very good." Li Nanjue panicked and told what he knew. Everything was told to Emperor Jia Ning.

"Why is he related to the Xu country clan?" Emperor Jia Ning stopped the dagger in his hand.
