Si walked forward with those torn pieces and handed them to Lan Ruojing through the window, "Young Master, here you are."

Lan Ruojing took them from the window, opened them, and looked at the letter carefully.

Although one piece had been eaten by Wang Jianshan and the writing of the letter was blurry, he still could understand the content of the letter.

After he finished, Lan Ruojing smiled.

Then he put away the letter carefully and said, "Let's go back to the city!"

"Young Master, how about the man?" Si glanced at the faint Wang Jianshan and asked Lan Ruojing.

Lan Ruojing said, "Leave him on the road. Don't care about him!"

"Yes!" Si replied and looked at Wei and Hu.

They nodded, lifted Wang Jianshan up, and put him on the roadside.

After everything was OK, Lan Ruojing added, "Go back to the mansion directly. I, together with Si, have something urgent to enter the imperial palace."

"Yes, Young Master!" They replied.

Lan Ruojing said to them again, "Go back to tell my dad to wait for my good news."

Wei and Hu replied and walked to Jing City.

Through the window of the carriage, Lan Ruojing looked at Wang Jianshan lying on the roadside and drew down the curtain, "Go!"

Then the carriage went back along the original way.

When Lan Ruojing arrived at the imperial palace, Emperor was attending the levee.

Chushi Youtian considered Prime Minister Lan's illness and asked him to recuperate at home.

Every time after the levee, Chushi Youtian always went to the Imperial Study to examine the memorial to the throne.

Lan Ruojing directly went to wait at the entrance of the Imperial Study.

After a long time, Lan Ruojing saw Chushi Youtian walking here.

Seeing this, Lan Ruojing hurried to walk to welcome him and said with his hands cupped, "Your Majesty."

"Mr. Lan?" After seeing Lan Ruojing, Chushi Youtian frowned and felt surprised at his appearance.

Lan Ruojing said, "I have something to inform you, Your Majesty!"

"OK. How about your dad?" Chushi Youtian replied and asked.

Lan Ruojing lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. My dad feels better."

"Since you have something to tell me, come in." Chushi Youtian nodded, said, and walked into the Imperial Study first.

Lan Ruojing replied, stood straight, and followed Chushi Youtian to walk in.

Chushi Youtian walked in front of the desk to sit down, looked at Lan Ruojing, and asked, "Say it."

"Your Majesty, it is a serious thing…" Lan Ruojing said and looked at Eunuch Li beside Chushi Youtian.

After hearing this, Chushi Youtian frowned and signaled Eunuch Li to go out.

Eunuch Li nodded, walked out, and closed the door of the Imperial Study.

After Eunuch Li walked out, Chushi Youtian looked at Lan Ruojing, "OK. Say it."

"Yes. I have been investigating one thing. I have found it before but didn't have evidence, so I didn't come to inform you, Your Majesty." Lan Ruojing said.

Hearing what Lan Ruojing said, Chushi Youtian moved forward slightly and asked, "What did you investigate, Mr. Lan?"

"Marquis Shuo wants to plot a rebellion!" Lan Ruojing looked at Chushi Youtian and said.

Hearing this, Chushi Youtian felt nervous, squinted, and asked, "What evidence do you have?"

"I saw Marquis Shuo go out of the city at night before and ran after him because of curiosity. I saw him talking with a person late at night. At that time, I felt suspicious but I didn't have reasonable evidence. Therefore, I investigated it on the sneak. After some investigation, I have found the place where they contact each other." Lan Ruojing said to Chushi Youtian.

Hearing this, Chushi Youtian couldn't help standing up, stared at Lan Ruojing, and asked, "What the hell did you say? You have found the place where they contact each other?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The man contacting Marquis Shuo was General Bai, Bai Zhanfei, who had resigned from office before. He is Old Marquis Shuo's trusted follower!" Lan Ruojing nodded and said.

Hearing what Lan Ruojing said, Chushi Youtian frowned and said, "Bai Zhanfei? No wonder there isn't any news about him these years!"

"Where did they contact each other?" Chushi Youtian asked Lan Ruojing again.

Lan Ruojing said, "In a valley ten miles away from Jing City."

Hearing what Lan Ruojing said, Chushi Youtian considered it.

He never thought his suspicion was right. If he just trusted what Lan Ruojing said and didn't go to have a check, he was afraid that he would act rashly and alert the enemy.

Thinking of this, Chushi Youtian frowned.

Seeing this, Lan Ruojing knew what Chushi Youtian worried about and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

"Why?" Hearing what Lan Ruojing said, Chushi Youtian asked with bewilderment.

Lan Ruojing said what he heard yesterday, "When I went into the valley secretly, I heard the talk between General Bai's daughter and her servant girl. She said she would come to Jing City in three days. At that time, you can catch her to threaten General Bai, Your Majesty."

"Really?" Hearing what Lan Ruojing said, Chushi Youtian looked at him and asked.

Lan Ruojing nodded, "I heard it yesterday night. It's true."

"OK. I'll leave it to you. You take charge of it!" Chushi Youtian frowned and said.

After Chushi Youtian finished, Lan Ruojing said with his hands cupped, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will not live up to your expectation!"

"OK. Then I will send people to help you catch General Bai's daughter." Chushi Youtian said.

Lan Ruojing said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lan Ruojing said with hesitation, "Your Majesty, I have one thing and don't know whether I should say it."

"What? Say it." Hearing what Lan Ruojing said, Chushi Youtian asked.

Lan Ruojing said, "Look at this, Your Majesty."

Meanwhile, he took out the letter snatched from Wang Jianshan and handed it to Chushi Youtian.

Chushi Youtian glanced at the crumpled letter and asked, "What's this?"

"Your Majesty, this is the letter that Infanta An Qin wants to send to King An Ran!" Lan Ruojing replied.

Hearing what Lan Ruojing said, Chushi Youtian took the fragmentary letter from him.

He put it on the desk and looked at it carefully.

After he read it, Chushi Youtian's face dropped.

He was angry at what An Ran did. From the letter, Infanta An Qin had investigated that Shuo Ling ganged up with General Bai!

However, Infanta An Qin didn't tell him. Obviously, King An Ran wanted to rebel!

Thinking of this, Chushi Youtian sneered, "How dare my official rebel me!"

"Calm down, Your Majesty. I just found that Infanta An Qin investigated the same thing when I investigated it. Then I noticed how she reacted and found her conceal the truth." Lan Ruojing said to Chushi Youtian.

No doubt he wanted to fan up the flames of trouble!

Chushi Youtian held the letter tightly and wanted to know what King An Ran wanted to do.

Lan Ruojing asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, how about the following plan?"

"Wait. Since so, I will wait for them to come here in person." Chushi Youtian said.

Lan Ruojing replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Mr. Lan, thank you for investigating this." Chushi Youtian looked at Lan Ruojing and said.

Hearing what Chushi Youtian said, Lan Ruojing replied quickly, "This is what I should do."

"Good. Have Prime Minister Lan recovered from the illness?" Chushi Youtian said and turned to ask Lan Ruojing.

Seeing Chushi Youtian mention his father, Lan Ruojing knew His Majesty planned to return power to his father and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty. My father feels better."

"Since so, go back to tell Prime Minister Lan to recover as soon as possible and return to his post. I am busy with dealing with government affairs these two days!" Chushi Youtian said.

Hearing this, Lan Ruojing smiled, but his smile disappeared immediately. Then he replied with his hands cupped, "Yes!"

"Leave first if you have nothing to inform!" Chushi Youtian said.

Lan Ruojing made reverence to Chushi Youtian and left the Imperial Study!

After Lan Ruojing left, Chushi Youtian's face dropped.

He never thought Bai Zhanfei acted like this after he resigned from his office.

So Shuo Ling must know what happened before.

Thinking of this, Chushi Youtian felt afraid.

Shuo Ling was too horrible. Chushi Youtian never thought that he followed what Shuo Ling required and handled so many tricky things.

Chushi Youtian couldn't help feeling frightened after thinking about it carefully!

Fortunately, Shuo Ling wasn't in Jing City. He had gone to Beiling.

He shouldn't worry too much!

After some calculation, General Bai was over sixty years old and Old Marquis Shuo's trusted followers resigning from office before must all have gone to the valley!

However, Chushi Youtian didn't worry about it. When he heard Lan Ruojing mention that Bai Zhanfei's daughter would enter Jing City in three days, he planned to catch them once!

He planned to use Bai Zhanfei's daughter to threaten Bai Zhanfei and then sent the army to kill these traitors!

Even if Shuo Ling knew it, he was in Beiling and could do nothing. When Shuo Ling returned to Dongling, he could be directly caught.

He thought of how to deal with King An Ran.

King An Ran betrayed him first. He failed to investigate Shuo Ling successfully, so he had thought that Infanta An Qin could be his eye to monitor the mansion of Marquis Shuo. Chushi Youtian never thought King An Ran was so sophisticated as to betray him!

However, King An Ran never thought he could know it so early.

After two days, An Ran would come to Jing City personally to explain it to him again after he received the news.

Thinking of this, Chushi Youtian couldn't help wearing a long face…
