No matter how in love he was, everything was just a joke in the end.
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Qian Jiyun smiled at the mention of An Jiuyue.
“That lady is my savior. I wouldn’t be able to return if she didn’t save me during the flood caused by Prince Lei Ting,” he said.
The Emperor’s expression darkened again.
Prince Lei Ting, that idiot! If not for this flood, I wouldn’t need to be so merciless with him!
Did he not know how to be careful or hide his actions? How useless of him to let Qian Jiyun find evidence for his crimes!
He chatted with Qian Jiyun for a while longer about Prince Lei Ting before allowing him to leave.
“Sigh.”
He threw the book of evidence down on the table, and his expression quickly turned cold.
“Where’s Prince Lei Ting?”
A eunuch walked forward, bowed slightly, and replied softly, “Your Majesty, Prince Lei Ting has been sent to prison and can be punished at any time.”
The old Emperor gritted his teeth and instructed ruthlessly, “Get someone to take care of him!”
I offered that fool such favorable terms. He would’ve been on par with Qian Jiyun at the border if he had been more cautious.
I wasn’t expecting that fool to be discontent and try to eat more than he could chew. He wasn’t satisfied with my support and tried to get involved with the 18 Stockaded Villages, whom I don’t even dare target!
If I keep someone like that around, then it’s time for someone else to take over the throne!
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I’ve already made arrangements. Prince Lei Ting will enjoy the rest of his life,” the eunuch replied with a smile.
“Find out who that An Jiuyue is,” the old Emperor instructed.
Would Qian Jiyun bring her back to the capital just because she saved his life? And she even moved into his residence with Qian Yiyun?
“Your Majesty, someone just came to report that Princess Yun is secretly referring to her as her sister-in-law. I wonder if Prince Zhan Yun has really… found her?”
Prince Zhan Yun had been looking for his wife, the Princess Consort, whom Xue Yingyue had chased out of the residence. Everyone in the capital knew about this.
Now that he had suddenly brought a woman back and arranged for her to stay in the Prince Zhan Yun Residence, everyone was suspicious.
Of course, it was also possible that Qian Jiyun did it on purpose to confuse the people and capture everyone with malice against him at once.
It was not impossible for Prince Zhan Yun, who had survived at the border for so many years to obtain a high official’s salary, to plan this.
Especially since there was an old lady in his residence who wanted him dead—Xue Yingyue!
The old Emperor frowned.
He had to be concerned about Qian Jiyun’s woman. His woman must not be a random savior he brought back with him, because he would not care too much about her even if he kept her by his side.
He wanted Qian Jiyun to have a woman whom he cared about most—a woman who could become his weakness!
He glanced at the eunuch and said calmly, “Investigate her.”
He did not want speculation. He wanted concrete facts!
