The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

The guards looked seriously and stared at Situ Danqi.

"This is the palace, and you are not a place where you can come and go at will. If you don't have the palace card, why don't you leave quickly!"

"This capital has so many demands."

Situ Danqi muttered, grabbed his little cloth bag tightly, turned around and left.

Before he could go far, a dark shadow fell in front of him.

Situ Danqi caught a glimpse of the shoes exposed underneath, paused in his steps, and turned back very simply.

"Miss, please don't embarrass me. The prince is already angry when he knows you sneaked out."

"We are all coming to the capital anyway. I just came a step early. What does it matter?"

Situ Danqi snorted lightly, but did not stop the other party from following him.

"The prince is also worried about the safety of the young lady."

Wei Xi skillfully took the small cloth bag from Situ Danqi's hand. He noticed the strange weight and couldn't help but weigh it.

Situ Danqi glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, my luggage was stolen on the way to the capital. These were given to me by kindhearted people."

"My subordinate failed to protect the young lady."

"What does this have to do with you? By the way, do you have any money with you? Just in time, I'll pay back the money to the kindhearted person."

Wei Xi took out his purse, which contained two ingots of gold and a very small amount of broken silver.

Situ Danqi took a few glances and put the purse into his arms.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Emperor Jianwen closed the memorial, raised his hand and pinched the root of his nose, looking tired.

"Your Majesty, please have a sip of tea and rest for a while."

Eunuch Wan poured the tea and handed it over.

Emperor Jianwen took the tea cup, opened the lid and took a few sips, "My son is quite good, and he has the same demeanor as I did in the past."

"With the Emperor in front of you, His Highness, Prince Jin, is naturally not far behind."

Emperor Jianwen put down his teacup and glanced at Eunuch Wan, "You've become more and more good at saying nice things recently."

"Isn't this my slave enlightened?"

Eunuch Wan joked to himself calmly.

A young eunuch came in from the door and whispered in Eunuch Wan's ear.

Eunuch Wan's face changed slightly, and Emperor Jianwen saw it.

"What's up?"

"Your Majesty, Sir Wang Xiuyi and Sir Lu Hong are outside the palace."

"Just let them in."

After Emperor Jianwen finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued to review the memorial.

Seeing this, Wan Eunuch bowed his head and exited the imperial study.

Not far away, Wang Xiuyi and Lu Hong were standing together.

"Two adults, please greet me."

Eunuch Wan stepped forward to greet him, and Wang Xiuyi and Lu Hong naturally responded respectfully.

Even Lu Hong, who was in the limelight, did not dare to neglect the famous person in front of the emperor.

"Eunuch Wan, your Majesty is still busy in the imperial study at this moment. Is there something difficult to deal with?"

Wang Xiuyi asked tactfully, but Eunuch Wan couldn't hear it.

He lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "The good news came from the northwest. Yu Hualin Khan personally led the troops to go on an expedition, but was easily cracked by His Majesty the King of Jin. His Majesty is naturally very happy."

"That's good."

Wang Xiuyi said good things, but his face showed a bit of bitterness.

Co-author, it is not a good time for him to come at this time. It will make the emperor angry in vain.

But now that you have come, it is impossible not to go in.

Wang Xiuyi and Lu Hong followed Eunuch Wan into the imperial study.

Before the two of them could salute, Emperor Jianwen waved his hand, "Okay, there is no need for you two to be polite. What's the important thing for you two to come at the same time?"

"Your Majesty, there are some things here that your Majesty needs to see personally."

Wang Xiuyi handed over the evidence, and Eunuch Wan took it and sent it to Emperor Jianwen.

Emperor Jianwen turned it over casually, his face darkening.

"A descendant of the Wen family?"

Beside him, Eunuch Wan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly came to his senses.

Then the Wen family, are you not talking about the Wen family whose house was confiscated by His Majesty twenty years ago?

"Master Lu, what exactly is going on?"

Emperor Jianwen looked at Lu Hong, his tone no longer as gentle as before.

Eunuch Wan asked, why is this matter related to Lu Hong?

The Wen family's misappropriation of disaster relief funds was not a trivial matter. It was because the disaster relief funds were not received that the victims rioted.

When the news reached the palace, Emperor Jianwen was furious and investigated the matter thoroughly, which led to the Wen family being found.

All the young and middle-aged people were sentenced to death, while the remaining old, weak, women and children were exiled and were not allowed to return to Beijing for life.

This incident is still fresh in Eunuch Wan's memory.

Lu Hong knelt down and said in a heavy voice, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen dare not lie to her, but Wen Yiyue is indeed Wei Chen's distant cousin. If not, Wei Chen would never dare to take them in."

"Your distant cousin?"

Emperor Jianwen stared at Lu Hong for a long time. Seeing his calm expression, the suspicion in his heart became less.

Then he looked at Wang Xiuyi and said, "Master Wang, have you found out the identity of Wen Yiyue?"

"Weichen has sent people to investigate, it just takes some time."

Wang Xiuyi hurried back.

Emperor Jianwen pursed his lips and continued to look down.

The contents recorded on the remaining pieces of paper are roughly the same, and they are all about abuse of power for profit.

"Eunuch Wan, send the order and let Su Hou enter the palace to see me."

"This slave obeys your orders."

Eunuch Wan frowned and left the imperial study. He didn't see what was written on it. What happened to Su Hou? It also affected Dali Temple.

The guards rushed to convey the decree to the Su Mansion.

Su Changqing had just returned to his residence. As soon as he heard the order, he had to go to the palace immediately.

Mrs. Su was very nervous and couldn't sit still at home, so she had to arrange a carriage to talk to some people with whom she had friendship.

On the other side, knowing that the emperor had sent an order for Su Changqing to enter the palace, Sun Shao did not hesitate and rode into the palace.

These actions will not cause any disturbance to the people in the capital.

But the aristocratic families who had inquired about the news became nervous, fearing that it would affect them.

It was rare that there was a bit of excitement in the imperial study room.

Eunuch Wan led Sun Shao in and said, "Your Majesty, General Sun is here."

Su Changqing was kneeling on the ground. When he heard these words, his expression became even stiffer.

"Why are Mr. Sun here?"

Facing Sun Shao, Emperor Jianwen's expression softened a bit, but his tone was still harsh.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Sun Shao knelt down.

"Mr. Sun, what are you doing? Eunuch Wan, help him up quickly."

Emperor Jianwen frowned.

"Your Majesty, I am here this time to ask for forgiveness!"

Sun Shao's sonorous and powerful words stunned everyone in the imperial study room.

Emperor Jianwen was surprised and said: "What does General Sun mean by this?"

"It's because the old minister doesn't know people well and mistakenly mistook dross for good jade." Sun Shao said and glanced at Su Changqing. It was obvious that he was talking about Su Changqing. "The old minister's son-in-law, Su Hou Su Changqing, relied on his position as marquis and In order to rely on the Sun family, they have secretly done many things that have harmed the country, the country, and the country. I am ashamed of myself!"

In fact, what Sun Shao said was a bit exaggerated. Su Changqing was really not that courageous. However, if the things he did in private were to be investigated, he would not be able to escape the fate of being demoted to a commoner.
