An Lingge would never have thought that the matter of him hoarding medicinal ingredients would actually be discovered by An Lingyi.

When Seventh Prince brought his men aggressively to the Prince An's Palace, An Lingyi and the rest had already gone to the study hall. was the only one left in the study room handling government affairs.

"Seventh Prince is here to welcome you. This old subject has missed you, have missed you!"

When the Prince An heard that the servant had come to report, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to greet the Seventh Prince.

He had a polite smile on his face, but Seventh Prince did not appreciate it. His face was full of indifference, "Prince An, this prince has not come here today to talk about old times with you."

He had never been so cold before, and the smile on An Yingcheng's face slowly faded as he probingly asked, "Then why did Seventh Prince come here?"

"This prince has received news that someone in your house is hoarding goods for the sake of Qingyue Kingdom. This is a great crime of betraying your country. Prince An, you should be aware of this, right?"

An Yingcheng's forehead was dripping with cold sweat as he dryly laughed, "Seventh Prince, was something wrong? My Prince An's Palace has always been loyal and devoted to the Emperor, so how could there be someone who would betray the nation?"

"Do you not believe this prince's words?" Zhao Lanyu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly suppressed the corner of his mouth, his expression sharp, "You actually dare to doubt this prince, are you trying to shield that spy!"

"This old official dares not."

When An Yingcheng saw that the Seventh Prince did not listen to his advice, he knew that he was determined to investigate this matter and could not help but take a step back, "This old official only felt that the news about the Seventh Prince was strange, and did not question your intentions."

"That's good." Zhao Lanyu's expression eased up a bit, and then he said in a softer tone, "Prince An, no matter what, you are still this prince's relative, how can I intentionally harm you? "Don't worry. This prince has already sent people to verify this news. I definitely am not here to cause you any trouble."

Since you did not come on purpose to cause trouble, An Yingcheng was relieved, "Seventh Prince is too courteous, you are an open and upright person, why would you come to frame this old one? I was also slightly shocked for a moment before I said those words. Since Seventh Prince already has definite information, this old subject will naturally cooperate with the investigation. "

"Haha, this prince thanks the Prince An for his righteousness."

Zhao Lanyu laughed and his expression finally became clear, "I ask Prince An to give the order to have the people of the house search the young miss' courtyard."

Search Little Ge's courtyard?

An Yingcheng was shocked, "Are there thieves hiding in Little Ge's courtyard?"

"No."

As Zhao Lanyu's words fell, An Yingcheng calmed down a little. Before he could even breathe, he heard Zhao Lanyu say, "I'm afraid Prince An doesn't know that your eldest daughter is hoarding medicinal ingredients in the manor and wants to secretly send them to Qingyue Kingdom. Fortunately, someone found out and informed this prince in time."

"Little Ge would never do such a thing!" An Yingcheng's eyes were wide opened, his face was filled with disbelief.

Zhao Lanyu's expression turned even colder, his eyes shining with a threatening light. "Prince An just said that he believed this prince's words, why did you change your excuse so quickly? Could it be that because the spy was the daughter of the Prince An, the Prince could not harden his heart to destroy righteousness? "

He said that An Lingge was a spy who colluded with the enemies and betrayed the nation, as if she had really seen An Lingge deliver the medicinal ingredients into the hands of the people from the Qingyue Kingdom.

An Yingcheng frowned, the expression on his square and imposing face was unstable.

But in the end, he had muddled his way through the imperial court for so many years, so his reaction was naturally very fast. "Little Ge has always been sensible and sensible. Furthermore, she is just a girl from a pavilion, how can she come into contact with people from the Qingyue Kingdom? "

"There are too many suspicious points in this matter. I'm afraid someone had deceived the Seventh Prince and wanted to sow discord between us, which was why he created such a rumor."

He did not say that Seventh Prince was wrong, nor did he admit that An Lingge was guilty. He only said that someone had deceived him, and had already hinted Seventh Prince not to pursue this matter.

However, the Seventh Prince had already received the Eastsea Night Pearl, how could he feel at ease if he did not make this matter beautiful?

"Prince An, you don't believe the words of this prince, and neither do you. Why don't you have someone search the courtyard of the eldest miss for a bit, and we will know the truth."

He looked at An Yingcheng with a smile, confident that An Yingcheng would agree to his suggestion.

Sure enough, An Yingcheng was silent for a moment, as if he was deep in thought, then said: "This old official will send people to search my daughter's courtyard right now, I hope Seventh Prince can restore her innocence."

Innocent or not, you'll know when you check.

Zhao Lanyu declined to comment, but the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes carrying a trace of pride.

After the time it took for an incense to burn, An Yingcheng sent some people over.

"What's the situation?"

The first one to ask was not Zhao Lanyu, who was even more anxious than him.

That servant was somewhat hesitant. Facing their gazes, he could only bite the bullet and stutter, "Reporting to Your Highness, I have indeed found a large amount of medicinal herbs in Eldest Miss's courtyard."

How could this be?

The smile on his face carried a bit of arrogance, "How about it, this is the person that you sent to search the young miss' courtyard in Prince An. This prince hasn't done anything, now you should at least believe in this prince's words, right?"

An Yingcheng shut his eyes tightly, he only felt that Seventh Prince gave him a loud and clear slap, causing his old face to turn dry.

"Go and call the young miss over. I want to ask her what happened!"

He was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, and his expression turned ugly.

The servants knew that he was in a bad mood and did not dare to breathe too loudly, so they hurriedly left.

An Lingge was in the middle of teaching Brightheart and Jade Pearl some simple ways of settling debts. Who would have thought that an attendant would suddenly come in and tell her that he was here on An Chengying's orders. He didn't care, but soon enough he heard a servant say that Prince An had asked her to come with him.

The servant looked at her with a peculiar gaze. An Lingge frowned, a look of doubt flashing past his eyes, but it was quickly blocked out by the long eyelashes, causing others to not be able to see the look in her eyes.

Soon enough, they arrived at the front hall. Seeing Seventh Prince, An Lingge had a bad premonition.

An Yingcheng had already questioned him, "Little Ge, why are you hoarding medicinal ingredients in your own courtyard?"

The matter of hoarding medicinal herbs had been discovered!

An Lingge was surprised, but she did not reveal it on her face, and instantly thought of an excuse, "My daughter thought that the medicinal ingredients were rather mystical, so she asked the servant to buy more. Initially, she wanted to learn more or less about medicine, but who knew that my daughter was so foolish that she still had not learnt much."
