The two of them boarded the boat and went down the river. It would not take long before they arrived at Yan City. Calculating the time it would take for them to go back and forth, this was more than enough. Therefore, the two of them did not rush too much.

Mu Yunyao passed the teacup to King Yue and lowered her head to look at the charcoal flame in the teacup. Her eyes revealed an indescribable emotion, "Fourth Master, tell me, how's the situation in the capital right now?"

She had chosen to return at this time to pay her respects to her father. Although this was a plan in advance, she also wanted to avoid the disturbance in the capital. Since she and King Fu had decided not to participate in the capital, she might as well hide completely to avoid people misunderstanding.

Yue Yang smiled: "Don't worry, second brother will be able to handle it. Also, there's royal father and aunt, there won't be any chaos in the capital."

"Yes."

At this moment, the capital was in a state of turmoil. King Yue did not have much influence within the imperial court, so his departure did not attract much attention. However, King Jin was different. Previously, when he was fighting against the King, he was able to evenly match, and even had the upper hand. He thought that since his body was crippled and the Emperor had restricted him, he should have no chance of turning the situation around again, but who would have thought that in such a short period of time, he would allow the Emperor to lift his ban and restore his title. What was even more unexpected was the news that the Plum Blossom had blossomed early in the Jin King Manor and the Lotus had bloomed in the winter.

It was only when he felt pity for the heavens that he was able to give a warning to everyone.

After the King heard of this news, he immediately arranged for people to spread the rumors, causing the Emperor to be unhappy. After all, the Emperor only dared to say that he was the Son of the True Dragon, and yet a prince like him said that he was a True Dragon that had descended to the mortal world.

As soon as Wang Lin finished his arrangements, Prince Jin had his men bring him to the palace to beg for forgiveness. He said that the rumors were spread out and that it was exaggerated to the point that it had already been spread.

The emperor had already heard of the news, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he was very satisfied with Prince Jin's cautious words and actions. He comforted him with a few words and even left some food before arranging for someone to send him out of the palace.

After the King found out, he felt that it was not right and hurriedly transferred back the people who went to spread the rumors. He did not expect that when the people came back, the matter became even more serious, and the news that the Jin Emperor was the true son of the dragon and the Emperor was even more outrageous, saying that the Emperor should abdicate and give the throne to the Third Prince …

When such rumors came out, the commoners only listened to it as it was very lively. After all, no one would be able to make the emperor's decision. They only needed to eat their fill, but it was enough for the court to explode.

The Emperor was furious and immediately ordered a thorough investigation. Finally, the investigation reached the Emperor's head. The king came to the palace to apologize, and he sent out several of his subordinates to take the blame, saying that they had done everything in private and that he had no idea what was going on.

The emperor dealt with a few stewards and personal guards, and then punished the king for three months of his monthly salary. He ordered him to return to the palace and properly discipline the servants.

This matter had already unveiled the conflict between the three princes. The Crown Prince relied on the Lee family to act unscrupulously, and the people who supported him were the most in the imperial court.

King Yu had the support of the Duke of Wei, and he held a lot of prestige in the army.

Right now, Prince Jin's influence was the weakest, but his reputation was the best. In order to protect the imperial family's prestige, the Emperor did not reveal the truth about the case. As a result, his reputation did not suffer much damage.

Xu Yanhan accompanied Grand Princess Yi De to Yu Hua Palace. Recently, she had been practicing her chess skills and had made quite some progress. "Mother, will Yao`er and Jun Yue Yang be able to make it back in time for the new year?"

"Yao'er said that she will be back for the new year. She has always kept her word, so you can rest assured." Grand Princess Yi De drank the tea that Mu Yunyao had given her, and faintly sighed. "I started to miss her after this child left for just a short while."

Xu Yanhan nodded in agreement, "Yeah, Yao'er used to be around, so I didn't think much of it. But now that she's suddenly left, it feels like it's been a long time, like time has slowed down."

In any case, Qin Fang Yuan is only a few steps away from the Grand Princess's residence. The Duke of Yue's residence is really too far away. "

Xu Yanhan thought about the distance between Qin Fang Yuan and the manor and nodded in agreement. "That's right, it would take us nearly half an hour to get there by carriage. It's indeed far."

"Then I'll go speak with the emperor later and separate Qin Fang Garden with Yao'er."

Senior Servant Qu laughed to herself on the side. "All these years, the eldest princess has never done anything against the rules. I didn't expect that the first case would be because of Miss." The people in the court were extremely respectful to me on the surface, but they secretly plotted to pull me into the court. I broke this rule and gave those people a warning, letting them know that all I wanted now was to safely and stably scheme for my children.

"I don't want to care."

Xu Yanhan was silent for a moment before suddenly raising her head, "Mother, Yao'er said before that she wanted to completely suppress Imperial Concubine Li. Do you think it's still necessary now?"

"What do you think?" The Grand Princess looked back with a smile. Xu Yanhan pursed her lips, "Daughter doesn't know if her words are accurate or not, but when it comes to hitting the snake, although seven inches is the most lethal, if the snake is too big, it can't be pinched accurately. It would take its life to hit a dozen other places first."

But it can still kill people. "

"That's not bad, but it's a good metaphor. Yan Han, have you thought of what to do?"

"Mother, I don't know what kind of profound scheme you have, I only know that the cycle of karmic effects is a form of retribution. I remember that Imperial Concubine Li was the one who plotted this affair between Honorable Zhou and the imperial guards, and many of the imperial concubines in the palace miscarried out their misdeeds without reason. What do you think?" Princess Yi De nodded her head, "Yan Han, your plan is correct, but you overlooked the matters that Imperial Concubine Li had done. The Emperor might know that as long as the Lee family does not fall, Imperial Concubine Li will at most receive some punishment. As long as the First Prince is strong enough, she will be able to endure through it.

"It doesn't matter. Once she gains power again, she will definitely take revenge on you. At that time, there will be no end to her troubles."

Xu Yanhan nodded. "But mother, there's no way to completely eradicate the Lee family right now. What should we do?"

"Right now, we're not the only ones who want to take action against the Lee family. Let's join forces and work together to achieve a miraculous victory."

"Mother, how about I visit Imperial Concubine Qi tomorrow. Since her birthday is coming up, I'll give her a gift as a token of my appreciation." "Alright."
