"I thought you three royal brothers would be very busy right now." King Yue raised the wine cup in his hand and took a sip, seeming to have some meaning to his words.

Su Wenyuan should have arrived at the Jin King Manor already...

"I'm just a casual person, what's there to be busy about? It's Fourth Brother, I heard that he saved Mu Yunyao's mother at the Treasure Hua Temple."

"It was nothing."

Prince Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, as if a light had flashed across them, "I thought that fourth brother's personality was cold, but to think that it turned out to be so cordial. However, Fourth Brother's identity is that of a prince, which is countless times more precious than that of Lady Mu's mother.

There was no expression on King Yue's face, but his gaze turned colder: "What are you thinking, Third Emperor?"

"Is Fourth Brother being warm-hearted or is it to prevent the beauty from feeling sad?" King Jin looked at King Yue with a smile, but his eyes were filled with a sharp glint, but he had concealed it well, to the point where it was hard to see through.

Yue Yang turned the wine cup in his hand, and the aura around him became as cold as frost: "Third Imperial Brother, you are overthinking it."

Prince Jin suddenly broke out into a smile, "Look at what I'm saying, it's enough to make Fourth Brother lose the mood to drink. Come, let me toast to Fourth Brother."

"I am truly sorry. My back is injured, and the imperial physician has warned me not to drink alcohol. He will treat you to a drink some other time to apologize."

Prince Jin's actions faltered slightly, but there was no embarrassment on his face. He said naturally: "I was careless. If someone offers tea, you and I will exchange tea for wine."

The discussion outside continued, and the topic of conversation was still about the Su Clan.

"Guess who was the one who secretly incited Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu to do something to the Su Family's Miss Biao?"

"How could I guess correctly? But at least it's the master of the Su Clan."

"That's not difficult. Didn't you guys see it before?" "I paid a hundred silver taels to Old Lady Wang's son, but he is a maidservant serving beside the Old Mistress. Tell me, can there be any connection between the two of them?"

"He is truly malicious. Even if the Su Clan wants to rob Miss Mu's property, they must remain calm. Why would he make a move the moment he enters the Su Clan?" You don't understand, this is the same principle as a thief shouting to catch a thief. Lady Mu treated the Su Clan as her own kin and came to the capital in high spirits. She was only happy and unprepared. This way, she would naturally be able to succeed and not cause anyone to doubt her, wouldn't it? After all, at that time …

"The conflict was started by the direct daughter of the Meng family, and it could have been her fault."

"That makes sense..."

"Isn't the young lady from the Meng family the scapegoat?"

"That's because of her overbearing and domineering attitude. If she was safe and sound, how would she have given others such an opportunity?"

After the news reached the Imperial Palace, the Emperor directly granted Shen Bingshu's request and made him responsible for investigating this matter.

"Imperial Sis, do you think the Su Clan really can't explain this clearly?" After seeing Shen Bingshu, the Emperor went straight to the Jade Flower Hall to see Grand Princess Yi. As the two of them played chess, they talked about this matter.

Grand Princess Yi De gently dropped a son. "In the capital, there are great events occurring every day. On the other hand, it's the Su Clan. This is the first time something like this has happened, even though everything has gone smoothly for so many years." "His performance was too good, but it actually seemed a bit fake." In the past, Su Wenyuan had been very meticulous in his work. In these past two years, he had gradually leaned towards Old Third, and no longer paid much attention to proper business. The emperor harrumphed coldly in his heart. The officials below him always thought that they were unaware of their petty tricks. However, they did not think that the officials in the court only had a total of …

How could anyone not understand what was going on?

Grand Princess Yi De smiled, but didn't say anything. It was as if his entire attention was focused on the chess board. "If Royal Brother doesn't focus, he will lose."

The emperor quickly looked at the chessboard. The black piece in his hand had already been cut apart by Bai Zi. "Looks like I'm really not good at chess. Back then, when my royal sister taught me how to play chess, she said that my talent was limited."

"You still remember all those years?"

"Of course I remember it clearly. My ability to play chess was taught to me personally by my royal sister."

"Then why don't you remember that I praised you for your courage and foresight?" Grand Princess Yi De said with a smile as she slowly packed up the chess pieces.

The emperor helped to pick up a few pieces and his face gradually turned serious. "Sister, does Fourth Elder plan to not return to western Guangdong this time around?"

Grand Princess Yi De's movements paused, and then she raised her eyes, sighing softly, "That's right, the west of Guangdong Province is very cold. It's hard for Jun Yu to stay outside for eight years, so we should stay in the capital and enjoy ourselves."

"Royal sister, other people might not know, but you know how bitter my heart is. Every time I look at Fourth Bro, I think of Rou-Er …" In the end, I was the one who let her down … "

Princess Yi De took the emperor's hand and said, "From a husband's point of view, you have indeed let her down, but you are not only her husband, but also the ruler of the imperial court! Therefore, if your decision was not wrong, she can understand it as well! "

The emperor's eyes couldn't help but glow. Twenty years had passed, but when he thought of his queen, the pain still pierced through his heart.

All these years, not only did the guilt in his heart not disappear with the passage of time, instead, it accumulated deeper and deeper, to the point that he was unable to face Jun Yue's every time he saw that child.

"Royal brother, you have already avenged Rou-Er. Her spirit is in heaven, so she should rest in peace. But that kid, Jun Yue, is really pitiful. He was arranged by you to be in Western Guangdong for 8 years. It can be said that he has suffered a lot. From today onwards …" "Royal Sis, I understand what you mean, but every time I see Jun Yue, I think of Rou Er, and my heart seems to be on fire. It makes me feel restless and in pain, and my internal organs seem to be on the verge of burning. So, it was still …

I need to ask royal sister to take care of him a lot for me … "

Princess Yi De's eyes reddened slightly. "What are you doing here? Alright, don't think about the past anymore. We are already old, and we don't know how long we'll be able to hold on for. My royal sister just hopes that you won't regret anything."

"After so many years, there are some things that I can only tell you, royal sister. Fortunately, royal sister is here, otherwise, my heart would have exploded with depression long ago."

Grand Princess Yi De passed a silk handkerchief over. "You speak so nicely of the Su Clan, yet it makes you think of such a sorrowful matter. You're already an old man, quickly wipe away your tears to prevent others from laughing."

The Grand Princess Yi De slightly lowered her eyes, and the corner of her lips curved up into a gentle smile. "Do you want another round?" "Alright, what does royal sister want my third son to do this time …"
