Within the Imperial Palace, layers of palaces and gardens could be seen with the majestic red walls of the Imperial Family.

The Emperor, who had been silent for a long time in the center of the palace, finally raised his head and stared at the Shi Jinchen that stood upright in front of him. He seemed to be pondering whether his son was trustworthy or not. Can we entrust this task to you? Would he do something so outrageous?

"Jin Chen, why did I call you here today?" The Emperor finally opened his mouth and spoke with a tone that belonged only to those who had been kings for a long time.

Shi Jinchen lifted his head and stared at his royal father who was sitting on the dragon throne, his mind thinking about what he had done recently. Recently, he had been together with Xiao Sui. The only thing that he had done wrong to Royal Father was to faked his Zhao Minmin and bring it out. Nothing else.

Shi Jinchen were expressionless: "I do not know about royal father."

The emperor stared into Shi Jinchen's eyes, wanting to see clearly if Shi Jinchen was lying. He really didn't know what the Crown Prince had done.

However, under the anxious gaze of the emperor, his expression did not change, nor did he feel fear in the face of danger.

The emperor started to think that he might have become a little too arrogant, and that he shouldn't suspect his other sons because of Shi Jinhan. Furthermore, based on his understanding of Shi Jinchen, he was also a person who dared to take responsibility for his actions and not hurt others behind their backs.

"Jin Chen, come forward." "The Emperor waved his hand, signaling Shi Jinchen to walk in front of him." Look at this. " The Emperor handed over to Shi Jinchen the superstition that he held tightly in his hands.

Shi Jinchen respectfully received the superstition with both hands, opening it and reading it from the beginning to the end without saying a word. The further he looked, the more green his Shi Jinchen expression became and his brows tightly knitted together.

After reading it, he closed the book and placed it on the table.

Seeing that the Emperor did not say anything, he became increasingly satisfied with the Shi Jinchen. He then took the initiative to ask, "Jinchen, what do you think about this matter?"

Shi Jinchen pursed his lips, thought for a few seconds, and said: "royal father, the letter said that Big Brother would wantonly rope in local officials, and cultivate his own strength. I don't think it's my brother's style of doing things. My brother wouldn't do something so rebellious. However, I would rather believe it to be true than not. This son feels that I should first send someone to investigate in secret and make a decision after the investigation is completed. "

After the emperor finished listening, he smiled in satisfaction, "Jinchen, you didn't disappoint royal father alright. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Since that's the case, I'll send you to investigate. However, this matter is extremely important, and must not be discovered by others.

"If there is anything that your son is required to do for royal father, your son should go all out to do it." Shi Jinchen cupped his fists and loudly expressed his loyalty to the Emperor.

"Good!" Good! He is truly worthy of being my good son. "I will definitely reward you greatly after this matter is concluded." The Emperor patted on Shi Jinchen's shoulder in satisfaction.

That day, after Shi Jinchen left the imperial palace, it aroused the suspicions of everyone in the imperial court.

The Emperor issued an imperial edict, "The fourth son of the Emperor possesses great treason in his Shi Jinchen. He has been sent to Jinling and cannot be summoned back without being able to call for help."

Everyone was puzzled, especially the helpers from the Shi Jinhan.

"Crown Prince, this is truly a heavenly good thing. In the future, who in the capital can compete with Crown Prince? Congratulations Crown Prince, one of the obstacles was cleared away. "

"That's right!" We had originally wanted to discuss ways to deal with the Fourth Prince, but now that we are seeking death and have been exiled to Jinling, we will no longer have the strength to go against our Crown Prince. "

The aides congratulated him again and again on his Shi Jinhan.

However, there was no lack of people who had not lost their minds because of this victory.

"Crown Prince, I think there are a lot of things that cannot be explained out? What did the Fourth Prince sit on? and he was sent to Jinling without any warning at all, and the imperial edict didn't state clearly what the Fourth Prince had done? " The one who spoke was the one whom Shi Jinhan trusted the most, Pei Yan.

"I believe that what Mister Pei said is reasonable, so we can't be happy too early. Other than the emperor and Fourth Elder, no one else knew about this matter. The eunuch from the Hall of Caring said that Fourth Bro had stayed in the great hall alone for six hours, and during that time, no one had entered. Even the great eunuch Huang Qing, whom royal father trusted the most, did not know. There must be a secret behind this, so let's just let it change. With his hands behind his back, Shi Jinhan stood facing the window, staring at the bamboo forest.

In the Fourth Prince's Mansion, when Shi Jinchen returned to the mansion, everyone in the mansion was flustered.

When the guard at the door saw Shi Jinchen returning to the manor, he loudly shouted, "Your Highness has returned to the manor."

The butler hurried forward and anxiously looked at Shi Jinchen, wanting to say something but stopped himself.

Shi Jinchen patted the butler's shoulders, and said: "Clean up the manor and sell whatever is up to sale. If it is up to you to return home, then go back. "It's entirely up to you. You can pick a few capable ones to follow me to Jinling the day after tomorrow."

When the steward heard it, he knew it was true. He couldn't believe that the king would do such a thing.

However, he still forced himself to keep his spirits up and gave the order. This time, the calm and tranquil mansion became completely chaotic.

When the news reached the rattan garden, before the Shi Jinchen had even arrived, the Jing Yi that had heard the news wasn't as frightened as when they first saw the emperor. Ke Yuehua was also surprised by this girl's reaction.

"Jing Yi, what are your thoughts on this trip to Jinling?" Ke Yuehua asked the little girl with a light smile.

Jing Yi did not stop wiping the table when he heard this, and instead asked in a strange manner, "Miss, Jing Yi doesn't have any thoughts. Wherever Miss is, Jing Yi is. No matter if it is the capital or Jinling, one has to serve the young miss for generations to come. " Jing Yi said in all seriousness.

"Well said, Jing Yi!" Just as Jing Yi finished speaking, the sound of Shi Jinchen clapping could be heard.

Ke Yuehua turned around and saw Shi Jinchen enter the bedroom. His face did not show any dejection or unwillingness, but instead was clear and bright.

"A maidservant should be like a Jing Yi, following master wherever he goes." Shi Jinchen continued to praise Jing Yi.

Jing Yi smiled embarrassedly, saluted and left the bedroom, while leaving, he even considerately closed the door. He sent Little Si and the maidservant, who were standing by the door, away.

Shi Jinchen said to Ke Yuehua: "This girl Jing Yi, is still very loyal to you."

Ke Yuehua pulled Shi Jinchen to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea, saying: "Right, very cute and also very loyal." Furthermore, late autumn, how could my Ke Yuehua have the good fortune to meet two people who treat me with such sincerity?

"Xiao Sui, we are going to Jinling, are you afraid?" Shi Jinchen pulled up Ke Yuehua's hand, and placed it in front of his chest.

It was rare for Ke Yuehua to not break free from his Shi Jinchen's hands, but instead, they became tighter.

"Not afraid, not even afraid of Jing Yi, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, I believe you. You must have your reasons for doing this. I haven't been to Jinling yet! We can take a good stroll around Jiangnan. " Ke Yuehua leaned his face against Shi Jinchen's shoulder, and softly consoled Shi Jinchen with his consoling words.
