When Shuo Ling was about to take off his clothes and rest, he heard that Mo Li was calling him. Then he opened the door and walked out.

"What's the matter?" After coming out, Shuo Ling looked at Mo Li and asked.

Mo Li said at this moment, "Luo Jin is here."

After hearing this, Shuo Ling frowned slightly and then followed Mo Li into his room.

"My Lord," When Luo Jin saw Shuo Ling coming in, he stood up and saluted Shuo Ling.

Then, Luo Jin talked about the recent events that happened in Jing City.

Hearing this, Shuo Ling frowned tightly.

Why now? And then, Shuo Ling asked again, "Where is General Bai now?"

Shuo Ling knew that Bai Zhanfei was an impulsive person. He was afraid that Bai Zhanfei would put himself in danger to save Bai Shuangshuang.

He must go back soon for this matter. However, Zijin was pregnant now, and she couldn't walk too fast.

So, Shuo Ling decided to let Mo Li stay, and he and Luo Jin would return to Jing City first.

Yang Zijin had fallen asleep. Shuo Ling couldn't bear to disturb her, so he asked Mo Li to take care of Yang Zijin. And then, he rode fast to Dongling with Luo Jin.

Early the next morning, Yang Zijin found that Shuo Ling was not in bed, and she frowned slightly. Where did he go so early?

Then, Yang Zijin put on her clothes and walked outside.

Jiang Wei and Mo Li had already got up and guarded the door at this time.

"Where is Marquis?" Yang Zijin saw Mo Li and then asked him about Shuo Ling.

Mo Li then told Yang Zijin about the thing that Marquis Shuo had already backed to Dongling.

Hearing this, Yang Zijin couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that something happened in Dongling, or how could Shuo Ling be so rushed?

Thinking of this, Yang Zijin raised her head and asked Mo Li, "What happened?"

"Madam, don't worry." Seeing Yang Zijin ask him, Mo Li said at this moment.

The more Mo Li said so, the more worried Yang Zijin was.

Then, Yang Zijin let them come in to talk.

Yang Zijin said, "Tell me what happened."

"Madam, this..." After hearing this, Mo Li couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

However, he still told Yang Zijin what happened in Dongling.

After Yang Zijin heard this, she frowned slightly, "It means that His Majesty has already known that Shuo Ling was about to rebel, right?"

Wouldn't it be...

Thinking of this, Yang Zijin couldn't help but panic, and then she said, "Hurry up and get ready. We'll set off now!"

"Madam... Yes!" Seeing Yang Zijin's eyes looking at him, Mo Li couldn't help but respond.

When Mo Li was ready to leave, Yang Zijin asked Jiang Wei, "Where are Uncle Liu and Big Brother?"

"They already get up and are eating breakfast." Jiang Wei said.

Yang Zijin nodded, "Well, go and get ready. Let's go out."

At this time, in Dongling,

An Ran, who had received the letter from An Qin before, had already arrived at Jing City.

Soon, he arrived at the mansion of Marquis Shuo. An Qin saw An Ran and couldn't help but run over and hug him. Then, An Qin said, "Dad, you are here."

With that, a tear ran out of An Qin's eyes.

Seeing this, An Ran couldn't help frowning tightly, "What's the matter? What have you been wronged by?"

"I'm too happy to see you, Dad." An Qin smiled at this time, then wiped away the tears with a handkerchief, and said.

An Ran patted An Qin and then walked into the room.

"I heard what happened in Jing City. Where is Marquis Shuo? Why didn't I see him?" An Ran asked An Qin at this time.

Sicha, who was on the side, pouted and said, "Marquis is always not in the mansion. After Her Highness married him, we only saw him several times..."

"Sicha, just keep your mouth shut!" An Qin interrupted Sicha before she could finish.

After hearing this, An Ran looked at An Qin and asked, "What does this mean?"

"Dad, don't listen to Sicha. She is talking nonsense. Now that Daddy is here, let's quickly discuss how to talk to His Majesty." An Qin said and then changed the topic.

After hearing this, An Ran sighed, "Since His Majesty didn't take the initiative to trouble us after learning the news, there must be two reasons. One is that the person didn't tell His Majesty, but I think it may be unlikely. And the other reason is that His Majesty is waiting for me."

"What should we do now?" An Qin asked immediately.

An Ran sighed at this moment, "Take things as they come!"

At this moment, the guard from the mansion of Marquis Shuo came to the door. They knocked on the door and asked, "Is Concubine An there?"

An Qin motioned to Sicha to open the door at this time.

Sicha walked over and opened the door. And she asked, "What's the matter?"

"There was news from the palace just now. His Majesty will hold a feast and wants to invite An Ran to participate." The guard from the mansion of Marquis Shuo said at this time.

An Qin frowned slightly at this time and then said, "I see. Step out."

It seemed that her father was right. He just arrived at Jing City, and the guard came to invite him now.

Then, An Qin looked at An Ran and said, "Dad, you see..."

"I have to go." An Ran said at this time.

An Qin couldn't help worrying, "But Dad, I'm afraid that the banquet is a trap!"

"What done is done. We can only be very cautious in our action." An Ran sighed and said at this time.

Shuo Ling was not in Jing City now, and the Emperor knew that Shuo Ling had a rebellious intention. If he didn't show or take his stand, it would be difficult for him to get out of Jing City alive.

Thinking of this, An Ran took a deep breath and walked outside.

In the study, "An Ran, hope that you are well!" Chushi Youtian put down the book in his hand and said to An Ran who came in.

An Ran hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty."

"What brings you to Jing City?" Chushi Youtian asked deliberately at this time.

When An Ran heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback. The Emperor wanted him to confess himself. Then, An Ran smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you know that I only have one daughter. Now she married to Jing City for some time. And I haven't met her for some time, so I missed her so much..."

"An Ran, you're really good at playing the fool!" Chushi Youtian sneered and then said.

When An Ran heard this, he couldn't help but kneel quickly, "I didn't!"

"Do you still remember the handwriting on this letter?" As he said, Chushi Youtian threw the envelope in front of An Ran.

Upon seeing this, An Ran picked up the envelope and read it immediately. It seemed that it was the letter snatched from An Qin.

After reading it, An Ran said nervously, "Your Majesty, my daughter is ignorant. She has already secretly fallen in love with Marquis Shuo. When she found out the letter, she was afraid that Your Majesty would harm Marquis Shuo, so she wrote a letter to ask me to find a solution."

"Do you want to find a solution or choose to join him?" Chushi Youtian walked up to An Ran at this time and then stared at him.

Hearing what Chushi Youtian said, An Ran couldn't help but dodge his eyes slightly. Then, he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm loyal to you. And I never have the intention of rebellion!"

"If it is true, would you show your sincerity?" Chushi Youtian asked.

An Ran knew that Chushi Youtian was putting him off, but at this point, it was better to respond first.

"Yes, I am!" An Ran said at this time.

After hearing this, Chushi Youtian turned around and walked to the table. He patted the table, "Okay, how about you wishing me to get rid of the rebellious person when he arrives?"

Then, An Ran responded.

Crown Prince was arranged to live in a house outside the palace after he was deposed.

More than three days had passed since Crown Prince was deposed.

Crown Prince was unexpected that Chushi Youtian would leave the palace and come to visit him.

"Father, why are you here?" Seeing Chushi Youtian's figure, Chushi Lanfu couldn't help being a little surprised.

Chushi Youtian sat aside and then said, "Do you resent me for deposing your position as a crown prince?"

"Father, I'm ashamed of you in this matter. I have nothing to say when you handle it this way. And I'm not blaming you." Chushi Lanfu said at this time.

After hearing this, Chushi Youtian smiled and said, "I know that someone has framed you in this matter, but there is nothing I can do about it."

"I know. I won't resent you, Father." Chushi Lanfu said immediately.

Hearing what Chushi Lanfu said, Chushi Youtian couldn't help but sigh. And then, he asked, "Are you getting used to living here?"

"Father, here I read and write every day. Without the tedium of the palace, life is comfortable." Chushi Lanfu said with a smile on his face.

Then Chushi Youtian greeted a few words, and he went back to the palace.

After Chushi Youtian left, the smile on Chushi Lanfu's face gradually froze. It turned out that his father knew that he was framed and still made such a decision. He was still hesitating to send troops to Jing City. Now it seemed that there was no need!

At this time, Imperial Concubine Xiao still didn't stop the move and secretly deployed the secret guards that had been trained for many years.

She was waiting for Chushi Lanfu to rebel with the Lan family!

Shuo Ling and Luo Jin finally returned to Dongling by forced marches day and night.

However, Shuo Ling didn't rush back to the city but followed Luo Jin to the place where their people were transferred.

Then, Shuo Ling asked someone to inform Zhou Ji to come here. And he wanted to know the recent situation in Jing City.

Late at night, Zhou Ji, who had received the news, then avoided the Emperor's eyes and headed outside the city.

"My Lord." Seeing Shuo Ling, Zhou Ji saluted him at this time.

Shuo Ling then turned around, "Is there anything else happening in Jing City recently?"

"The Crown Prince was deposed, and the children of the Third Prince died. Besides, An Ran came to Jing City." Zhou Ji said.

Hearing Zhou Ji's words, Shuo Ling sneered, "It seems that a lot of things have happened during my absence. What have you found?"

"Since Miss Shuangshuang was arrested, His Majesty sent more people to invigilate us outside the mansion. So, our news was not timely." Zhou Ji continued.

Shuo Ling nodded at this moment and then asked, "Tell me what you know."

"We found that the Crown Prince has signs of plotting rebellion, and Imperial Concubine Xiao also secretly deployed troops." Zhou Ji said at this time.

After hearing this, Shuo Ling couldn't help showing a wicked smile, "It seems that everyone can't hold back anymore."

"My Lord, what will we do next?" Zhou Ji looked at the smile on Shuo Ling's face and couldn't help but shiver all over. It seemed that someone was going to be unlucky, not careful to mess with the Marquis.

After hearing this, Shuo Ling hesitated for a moment and then said a word, "Wait."

"Wait?" Zhou Ji couldn't help but look confused. However, he knew that Marquis's far-sightedness was not something he could compare to, so he decided to believe the Marquis and then nodded.

Then, Shuo Ling said again, "Find a way to contact General Bai and let him come back. Don't cause trouble. Now as long as I don't show up, Bai Shuangshuang will be safe!"
