"Why? If you had said so earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer. " Chu Moran said indifferently.

"Where are your letters?" Su Jinxuan asked.

"Leave it in the general's manor!" Jiang Wen answered truthfully.

"Where in the General's Estate?" When the time comes, I will send people to find out. If we are successful in exposing the Imperial Consort Lan, I might spare your life! " Su Jinxuan wholeheartedly wanted to get rid of this Imperial Consort Lan who committed many evil deeds. This way, he would be able to live a few comfortable days in the future.

"In the study room, there is a book hidden in it. You can send someone to look for it in the general's mansion in the middle of the night." When Jiang Wen heard that Su Jinxuan might spare his life, his answers became more positive.

"Are you sure that person is Imperial Consort Lan? Do you want to know the consequences of you framing the Imperial Consort Lan? " Su Jinxuan confirmed again.

"It really is the Imperial Consort Lan. How can I not know her? including the few times you were hunted down by others, all of these have something to do with the Imperial Consort Lan! " Jiang Wen said with a face full of certainty.

Hearing Jiang Wen's words, it was indeed as Su Jinxuan had expected. It turned out that the previous few times really had something to do with the Imperial Consort Lan.

"Alright, I understand. I'll believe you this once!" After Su Jinxuan finished speaking, he left with Chu Moran.

Outside the cell, Su Jinxuan stopped and said softly: "Tonight, go to the General's Residence and search in Jiang Wen's study. Remember to be careful and not be discovered."

"Yes, Master!" Chu Moran replied respectfully.

Deep into the night, Chu Moran changed into a new set of clothes, with a cloth over his face, he quietly snuck into the general's residence.

Chu Moran's martial arts were very high, so ordinary people would not be able to discover him, even if he was in the General's Estate.

Chu Moran searched through the study room for a long time before finally finding the letters inside.

After finding it, they would definitely be in a hurry to take it and leave. Fortunately, it was already midnight, and everyone in the general's residence had already gone to sleep. At this time, no one noticed Chu Moran going in to look for something.

After getting it, it was already midnight, so it was naturally not good for Chu Moran to disturb Su Jinxuan's rest time. He could only bring the things over for Su Jinxuan to see the next morning.

The next morning, Chu Moran showed the letters to Su Jinxuan.

Su Jinxuan took a look at the handwriting, and felt that it was probably written by a woman, and it was very likely that it was written by the Imperial Consort Lan.

Su Jinxuan took the letter and immediately went to the dungeon, where he found Jiang Wen lying on the ground sleeping.

"Wake him up!" Su Jinxuan said to a soldier beside him.

"Yes sir!" The officer immediately went over and opened the door, kicking Jiang Wen a few times.

Jiang Wen's body was originally injured, but this kick caused him to grimace in pain.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Wen shouted angrily at the soldier.

"The crown prince's palace is coming down! "Hurry and get up." the officer shouted.

Once Jiang Wen heard that it was Su Jinxuan, he did not dare sleep anymore and immediately sat up.

"I found the letters, didn't I?" Su Jinxuan shook the letter in his hand.

"Yes, these are the letters." Jiang Wen nodded and replied.

"Okay, that's good." After confirming that, Su Jinxuan prepared to leave.

Jiang Wen suddenly thought that he had already betrayed the Imperial Consort Lan, and was afraid that if she found out, he would secretly send people to kill him, so he quickly stopped Su Jinxuan.

"Your Highness, please wait. Can I trouble you to promise me one thing?" Jiang Wen was anxious.

"What is it?" Su Jinxuan stopped and asked.

"It's the matter of me betraying the Imperial Consort Lan. Can you not tell her that I've been captured?" Jiang Wen was very afraid that the Imperial Consort Lan would find out she had betrayed her.

"Sure." In fact, if the people from the General's Residence knew about it, it meant that the Imperial Consort Lan knew about it. Su Jinxuan didn't need to say that the Imperial Consort Lan also knew about it, but he would definitely send people to protect Jiang Wen, as he was a great witness, without Jiang Wen, it would be difficult to expose the Imperial Consort Lan.

Right now, the Imperial Consort Lan only thought about meeting with Xu Heng everyday, and did not know that Jiang Wen had already been captured. The people from the general's household did not dare to send anyone to deliver a letter to the Imperial Consort Lan, so the Imperial Consort Lan did not know about this matter.

Actually, Su Jinxuan had been sending people to watch over the Imperial Consort Lan. If there were any signs of trouble, Su Jinxuan would know.

knew that Imperial Consort Lan had been seeing Xu Heng frequently recently, and this was not a small matter. If the emperor found out, then the Imperial Consort Lan would definitely not be able to handle it.

It was noon today and the Imperial Consort Lan prepared to leave the palace. For so many years, the Imperial Consort Lan had always been the emperor's favorite concubine, and since the Imperial Consort Lan's home was in the capital, her big brother was the general. Thus, whenever the Imperial Consort Lan left the palace, the emperor would not say anything, nor would he ask too much.

Every time the Imperial Consort Lan left the palace, the Emperor would know about it. He thought that the Imperial Consort Lan was going home, but he didn't expect that recently, the Imperial Consort Lan would often leave the palace to meet her childhood sweetheart.

When the Imperial Consort Lan left the palace, Su Jinxuan's hidden guards started to observe from the shadows. Although Xu Heng's martial arts were not bad, all of the hidden guards' martial arts were top-notch and hid themselves very well, so Xu Heng did not notice anyone following them.

The two of them went back into the small courtyard. Imperial Consort Lan even bought some vegetables and prepared to cook a meal personally for Xu Heng.

Ever since they had entered the palace, the Imperial Consort Lan had rarely cooked. Even when she cooked herself, it was to curry the favor of the Emperor.

In the past, when they still hadn't entered the palace, Imperial Consort Lan would often cook or make some pastries for Xu Heng to eat. It had already been many years since he had cooked for Xu Heng.

"Xu Heng, just wait outside. I'll cook dinner for you today." Imperial Consort Lan said gently.

"Then shall I start a fire for you?" Xu Heng didn't want to make the Imperial Consort Lan too tired.

"It's fine, I can do it myself. Go and sit outside for a while." Imperial Consort Lan didn't want Xu Heng to help, because she wanted to give Xu Heng a pleasant surprise.

"Do you really not need my help?" Xu Heng asked again.

"There's really no need for that. Alright, hurry up and leave." The Imperial Consort Lan said with a smile.

"Alright, I'll be in the courtyard. If there's anything you need help with, just shout at the kitchen door." After Xu Heng finished speaking, he left.

Today, Imperial Consort Lan made Xu Heng his favorite food. Even after so many years, Imperial Consort Lan still had not forgotten what Xu Heng liked to eat, and what he did not like to eat.

Sometimes, Imperial Consort Lan would think in her heart, if I hadn't entered the palace then, wouldn't I be living a blissful life with Xu Heng outside?

Because of a decision she had made that year, she had changed a lot. She had gone from a scheming girl to a very shrewd person.
