You throw him to the Censorate, how can you interrogate him next?
Old Kong, Old Kong, how is your work becoming less reliable?
Seeing the prince’s gloomy little face, Kong Xingzhuo broke out in a cold sweat and muttered, “Your… Your Highness, the censors will interrogate Huang Fulin on your behalf. As soon as there is a result, they, they will tell you immediately!~”
Xiao Jinheng: “……”
Although the atmosphere in the court is better than before, who can guarantee that among those old men in the Censorate, there aren’t any who are colluding with Huang Fulin?
Since ancient times, officials in the court have protected each other, looking out for their own survival, otherwise, they would be swept away by the currents of officialdom, never to rise again…
“Forget it, I’ll handle this matter myself!~” Xiao Jinheng let out a long sigh and fell into deep thought.
Seeing his melancholic expression, Xiao Xitian said, “Since Huang Fulin’s superior sent a nun to contact him, why not investigate the nunneries in the capital or the surrounding temples?”
Tracing back to the source, as long as any matter is investigated from its roots, clues will definitely be found…
Xiao Jinheng’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, “Little village child speaks wisely. It seems I have to personally return to the capital!~”
Xiao Xitian: “???”
Is it necessary to return to the capital and personally handle the matter of Huang Fulin’s corruption, making such a fuss…
What Xiao Xitian didn’t understand was that Huang Fulin’s corruption was related to the lifeline of the Jiangnan canal transportation, and it even directly affected the safety of the imperial court.
Huang Fulin’s master behind him was the mastermind controlling everything.
If this person is not brought to justice, it is believed that before long, the tragedy of Consort Xian’s palace coup and rebellion will be repeated…
“Little village child, come back to the capital with me!~” Xiao Jinheng said sternly.
Xiao Xitian: “……”
This baby wants to stay in the village, not go anywhere.
Besides, Uncle Guan said her soul was damaged and she shouldn’t run around randomly. What if something goes wrong…
As if sensing Xiao Xitian’s concern, Xiao Jinheng smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, we’ll bring Doctor Guan along when we return to the capital!~”
Xiao Xitian looked helpless, can I refuse?
“I need to tell my family…~” Xiao Xitian said crisply.
Since she was going to the capital, she wouldn’t trouble Brother Jiang Tun with opening the wine shop anymore.
And she could also visit her aunts at the General’s mansion along the way.
“Okay, I’ll go tell them!~” Xiao Jinheng smiled sweetly.
At the same time, a harsh scolding sound came from Xiao Xinling’s guest room…
Xiao Xinling grabbed Yun Siman’s hair, her face flushed with anger, “You good-for-nothing Yun Laosi, you haven’t returned for several months, and you didn’t bring me a gift when you came back. I miss and think about you every day, you, are you even human?”
Yun Siman: “……”
Who said I didn’t bring you a gift? I bought two hair ties, but you didn’t like them.
“Xinling, let go first!~”
Yun Siman countered by gripping Xiao Xinling’s wrist, then quickly extended his arm and embraced her slender waist, “Next time I’ll buy you roast chicken, roast duck, and roast goose, and I promise to feed you until you’re full, okay?”
It was also his fault that he returned to the village in such a hurry this time, only focusing on buying things for his family and not considering Xinling’s emotions…
“Humph, you think you can tempt me with food? This princess doesn’t fall for that!~” Xiao Xinling glared with her beautiful eyes and rolled her eyes.
Although she was dismissive on the surface, her heart was warmed.
If Yun Laosi didn’t return soon, Xiao Xinling would have gone to Northern Xinjiang to find him herself…
Yun Siman chuckled slyly after hearing this and leaned closer to Xiao Xinling, “Then what do I need to do for my darling to forgive me?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xinling’s pretty face instantly turned red, her eyes darted around, and her heart began to pound, “You, you, you… get away, I can’t breathe!~”
This scoundrel only knows how to annoy her.
In fact, Xiao Xinling was very satisfied with Yun Siman in all aspects. If her father emperor bestowed marriage immediately, she would gladly agree…
If not for anything else, she stayed at the old Yun family all day, watching the couples show off their affection, she felt too heartbroken.
Especially Xiao Jinfeng and Jin Huaihua, they were always hugging and kissing.
Being pregnant is one thing, but they announced it to the world as if they were afraid others wouldn’t know it was Xiao Jinfeng’s child…
Seeing Xiao Xinling’s shy appearance, Yun Siman burst into laughter, “Xinling, I met the Emperor this time and vaguely guessed his thoughts. After the war in Northern Xinjiang completely subsides, the Emperor might bestow marriage upon us!~”
“Really? That’s great!” Xiao Xinling leaned against Yun Siman’s chest, pouting and asking, “Then… how long can you stay this time when you come back?”
It would be great if he could accompany her every day.
Ever since Han Chijiao left, Xiao Xinling had been bored to death every day…
“Uncle only gave me twenty days of leave, and it took ten days for the journey back and forth, so I can’t stay home for long!~” Yun Siman said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xinling let out a “Tsk” and was very displeased, “You are a deputy general in the army, why do you only do errands? I’ll have to tell my father emperor later and ask him to find you a leisurely job!”
Yun Siman: “……”
Once he became idle, it would mean he had no value, which was what Yun Siman least wanted to see.
“We’ll talk about this later. Come, I’ll take you fishing!” Yun Siman took Xiao Xinling’s hand and walked out with a smile.
In the back garden.
Little Jie Kong, like a little adult, stood proudly in front of Xiao Jinheng and Xiao Xitian, his chest puffed out straight, “That bad guy named Bu Yi, I threw him into the cesspool, hmph, let’s see if he dares to bully Sister Xitian again…”
Xiao Xitian’s eyes widened, and she twitched her mouth, “Jie, Jie Kong, did you really throw him into the cesspool?”
This is a dialogue with a strong smell…
“Of course!~” Little Jie Kong raised the corner of his mouth and glanced at Xiao Jinheng, “Unlike someone, who sticks to Sister Xitian every day but does nothing for her, truly shameless!”
Xiao Jinheng: “……”
At such a young age, you’re already speaking with barbs?
Who taught you to be like this?
“Fists can’t solve problems!” Xiao Jinheng sneered, his gaze deep, “It will only exacerbate contradictions!~”
“That’s a coward’s understanding!” Little Jie Kong shrugged his shoulders, boldly took Xiao Xitian’s hand, and pulled her closer to him, “Sister Xitian, don’t pay attention to him anymore, okay? I will protect you well!”
Xiao Xitian: “……”
