After Zhan Wenlin and the others left, Zhan Wenxuan rode his horse directly back to Prince Xian's Mansion. After taking the clues he had sorted out, he hurried to the palace again.
Fortunately, he is just an idle prince. If he were a general with military power, if his actions today were seen by the people, it would not cause people to panic, wondering if there was a war at the border?
The entrance to the palace was held by the imperial guards, and it was as quiet as ever. Only Zhan Wenxuan knew in his heart that this was just a superficial situation, and behind those palace walls, there would never be a peaceful life.
"Uu——"
Zhan Wenxuan stopped his horse and turned over. From a distance, he saw Wan Cheng holding a fly whisk and trotting towards the palace gate. Seeing the anxious look on his face, Zhan Wenxuan knew that he was still a step too slow.
.
I'm afraid their little Lin'er has already gone to see Emperor Xiaoxian and told him about meeting Su Wan today...
Sure enough, when Wan Cheng saw Zhan Wenxuan entering the palace, the first thing he said was: "His Royal Highness, King Xian, you have entered the palace. Princess Lin and the Eighth Highness Princess De are both in the imperial study, requesting the emperor to issue an edict.
, execute Su Wan."
Zhan Wenxuan's expression was serious, his thin lips pursed tightly. When he re-investigated, he had already guessed that if they were to find out, this would definitely be the result.
But this day came so quickly, it almost caught him off guard!
"Thank you so much, Eunuch Wan, for coming to report the message. I will remember this favor." After Zhan Wenxuan finished speaking, he stopped talking. He couldn't wait to walk to the imperial study step by step. Zhan Wenxuan cheered up and said he was lucky.
He did some Qinggong and flew over.
Wan Cheng looked at Zhan Wenxuan's disappearing figure and couldn't help but "tsk, tsk" twice, and whispered in a low voice: "Looking at His Highness Xian Wang's anxious look, I'm afraid he is investigating something hidden -"
…
In the imperial study, Emperor Xiaoxian had a sullen face, bowed his head and drank tea without saying a word. Zhan Wenlin had been crying here for a long time, which made Emperor Xiaoxian have a headache.
However, he already knew about this matter. When Zhan Wenlin asked him to order Su Wan to be executed, he did not agree.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, he is Zhaoyue's Xiaoxian Emperor, who holds the power of life and death in the world. But only he knows that he, the Xiaoxian Emperor, is not so happy as he deserves.
The political affairs in the court every day, as well as the table full of greeting notes, are all for the common people to see. In fact, under this calm "water surface", there are already undercurrents and turbulent waves.
Once it breaks out, there will definitely be a tendency that "the building will collapse." By that time, it is still open to question whether he can still be the emperor safely.
Moreover, the secret guard came to report that Su Wan had been living in Jiangnan before returning to Beijing. After leaving two children, it only took more than a few years to complete the "Su family" industry from scratch.
.
Not only that, Ye Zhichen, the young master of the Ye family, has a close relationship with Su Wan. Ye Zhichen and Su Wan also have a place in various chambers of commerce throughout Jiangnan.
It can be said that as long as the two of them reach an agreement, other ancient sects in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce will obey their orders...
After Concubine De and Zhan Wenyu persuaded Zhan Wenlin, they wanted to test Emperor Xiaoxian's tone and wanted to know whether he would kill Su Wan. But Emperor Xiaoxian just sat and drank tea without saying a word.
explain.
"Father, my son Zhan Wenxuan would like to see you——"
The imperial study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Several people were thinking about how to speak. When the silence was broken, Zhan Wenxuan just arrived here.
"Since you're here, let's come in and talk." Emperor Xiaoxian put down the cup in his hand and said in a loud voice to the door.
