"Your majesty!" Hai Yang looked at Long Yusheng in disappointment. He wasn't afraid of losing his official position, but he didn't expect the emperor to not believe that the old general was innocent. He even suspected that Long Yucheng was a traitor!

Long Yusheng didn't even spare a glance at Nanhai as he walked out of the hall through a side door.

Some of the civil and military officials sympathized with Nanhai, some helped him, some ridiculed him, and some disdained him. For a time, all sorts of complicated gazes turned towards Nanhai, but Nanhai did not care about the complicated eyes of others at all.

Nanhai raised his head and puffed out his chest as he bravely walked out under the complicated gazes of the crowd. Behind him were a few palace guards.

Seeing that Southern Sea had lost his official title, Chen Jiaxi immediately understood. However, he still looked at the Southern Sea with a smile as usual.

After leaving the palace, Nanhai leapt onto the carriage and ordered the Chen family guards who were driving the carriage, "Return to the Southern Prefecture."

"Yes, milord." The Chen family guards brandished their horsewhips and pulled their horses' reins as they drove the carriage rapidly towards the Southern Prefecture.

Behind the luxurious and noble carriage of the Southern Prefecture were four to five palace guards riding on horses.

Southern Ocean lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced at the palace guards who were following behind them. He gently lowered the curtain and saw that these people had been following behind him since the beginning of the battle. He had to get rid of these guards, otherwise, how could he turn the tables on the old general? He had already used all available methods. Although he did not find any evidence in favor of the old general, he firmly believed that as long as he persisted, he would definitely find evidence in favor of the old general!

"Constable Chen, quick."

"Yes, milord." Chen Jia Wei half turned his head to look at the Southern Ocean.

The carriage continued on as before. A few palace guards followed closely behind the carriage. From the looks of it, it seemed like the guards were protecting the people inside the carriage.

In the distance, she saw a few palace guards riding their horses behind the Southern Mansion's carriage. She frowned slightly, and anyone who saw her would be able to tell that those guards were monitoring the Southern Sea.

The carriage quickly arrived at the entrance of the Southern Prefecture. Chen Jiaxi, dressed in the Southern Ocean Palace's uniform, strode into the front gate of the Southern Prefecture. As he passed by Zhining, he gave her a deep look.

Meanwhile, Nanhai sat on the carriage, pulling the reins of the horse, and drove the carriage past Zhining towards the comforting back door.

A few palace guards jumped off their horses and rushed to the entrance of the Southern Prefecture, chasing after the man dressed in the official clothing who had just entered the entrance of the Southern Prefecture.

ZhiNing instantly understood. Southern Sea was swapping clothes with Chen Jiaxia, while Chen Jiaxia was helping Southern Sea to escape. She was also keenly aware that Chen had no official title just now. That was to say, the Southern Seas had already been stripped of their official position and had been watched by others.

However, the Southern Ocean didn't retreat. Instead, it used the Chen family guards to search for evidence that the old general was innocent.

Her heart was deeply shocked by Southern Sea. She really hadn't thought that even after losing her position, Southern Sea would still insist on turning the case over for the old general.

ZhiNing silently asked herself, "Is she being too selfish?" Should she turn over the case for the old general, abandoning everything in the past?

Just as Zhining's thoughts were wandering about, a few guards carried the armoured Southern Ocean past her.

The other guards brought the Chen family guards out of the main gate of the Southern Prefecture.

"Wait." When Nanhai saw that the palace guards were carrying the Chen family guards, a trace of anger immediately emerged on his face.

The guards stopped and looked at the Southern Sea. Although the Southern Sea had lost its official position, the former lord Nan was upright and honest, a good official worthy of everyone's respect. Thus, when Nanhai ordered them to wait, they all stopped.

"Constable Chen must have been forced by me to return the favor. Let him go, he has done nothing wrong." Nanhai said to the guards.

"Lord?" Chen Jia Wei looked at the Southern Ocean helplessly.

Hai Yang smiled faintly at Chen Jiaxi. "Constable Chen, I've implicated you. I'm sorry."

The guards glanced at each other before releasing Chen Jiaxue. At the same time, they also released the Southern Ocean. One of the guards extended his hand and gestured, "Sir Nan, please enter."

Nanhai let out a deep breath, his face was full of sadness and unwillingness. He was unwilling to be imprisoned before he found evidence that the old general was innocent.

Watching Nanhai leave with the palace guards, ZhiNing felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart.

She had been standing where she was the entire time, looking at the back of Nanhai's departing figure. She was so resolute and without any hesitation. Even though the path in front of him was a path of death, he still walked forward and turned the case against the old general. He firmly believed that the old general was innocent, even though he lost his official position and was sent to the prison, he still did not regret his actions.

The Chen family guard withdrew his gaze from the Southern Ocean and looked towards Zhining, "Zhining, help Sir Nan." The slightly aged voice was filled with a pleading tone.

Zhining turned her head to look at Chen Jiawei. This was the first time Chen Jiaxi had ever called her by her real name, Zhining. Just her name alone caused small ripples to form in ZhiNing's heart.

Chen Jiaxuan looked pleadingly at Zhining, "Just treat it as dad begging you, help Sir Nan!" "Sir Nan, he is truly too lonely, too pitiful. If you don't help him, then no one can help him. Could it be that you can really watch Sir Nan be locked up in the prison and not care about it?"

Zhining took a deep breath, then looked towards Chen Jiaxuan, "Dad, don't worry. Zhining will definitely help Sir Nan."

Chen Jiaxue sighed in relief, "Good, good, good, as long as you are willing to help Sir Nan." I believe that Miss Liang will be examining the old general's corpse again. You will definitely be able to find evidence from the old general's corpse to prove that the old general was killed by someone and wrongly accused. "

"I won't let Sihan and Bing'er get involved. I will do my best to trouble the old general, but I definitely won't let Sihan and Bing'er get involved in this." The case of the old general was a grave offense against the enemy for selling out the country. If the old general was truly wronged, then the person who framed the old general would be much more sinister than the manor. There were also a lot of dangers. She wouldn't let Sihan and Bing'er encounter danger again.

"If Liang Sihan hadn't examined the old general's corpse, how would you have reversed the old general's case?" The two Chen family guards angrily looked at ZhiNing as they asked.

"I said that I would do my best to reverse the case for the old general." Zhining replied to Chen Jiawei with slight anger.

"If you don't have a coroner to examine the corpse of the old general, then you have no way to do so. Liang Sihan, please examine the corpse of the old general." Chen Jiaxuan looked at Zhining with an ice-cold expression, his voice even colder.

Zhining gave a cold laugh, looking at Chen Jiaxue almost mockingly, she said slowly, "I'm sorry, Constable Chen, but please tell Sir Nan that Chen Zhi's greatest limit is to investigate the case of the old general himself. Let him give up on that thought, Sihan will never examine the corpse of the old general." Finished speaking, Zhining walked towards the Southern Mansion's main entrance. Only Chen Jiaxi was left standing on the spot with a furious expression.

After walking a few steps, Zhining stopped and turned back to Chen Jiaxi, "Also, please tell Sir Nan that I beg him to act next time, and to be more realistic and not be seen through by me." One of them got her sympathy, the other begged and gave orders. With such an obvious cooperation, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were acting. The reason why she didn't expose the Chen Family guards just now was to give them face, but she didn't expect them to actually scowl at her. Since it was like this, why did she leave any face for the Chen Family guards?
