The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Prince Yu's Mansion, study room.

Xiao Jin entered the room, and there were already several people standing in the room.

When they saw Xiao Jin, they all bowed respectfully.

"I see His Highness Prince Yu."

Xiao Jin sat down, her expression no longer as gentle as usual and became sinister.

"What do you think about the Yangzhou matter?"

The people standing downstairs were all officials in the court.

Although they were not wearing court uniforms, it was not difficult to tell from the respectful gestures of several people that these people were all Xiao Jin's people.

Several people looked at each other, but no one could stand up and say a word.

It wasn't until Xiao Jin's expression became more and more impatient that someone slowly walked out.

This person is none other than Chen Cheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"Back to Your Highness, I believe that the Yangzhou magistrate's actions have gone too far, which will lead to investigation. I will definitely warn my subordinates not to do this."

"Ah."

Xiao Jin snorted lightly, and several people in the hall couldn't help but shrink back, with a bit of fear.

"I think there is something hidden in this."

Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized it and tensed his nerves subconsciously.

"My lord, you mean...someone leaked the secret?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other people fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty is aware of this, but I will definitely not dare!"

"My lords, please get up quickly. I know what kind of people you are, but Yangzhou is far away from the capital. It is difficult for me to control what will happen."

As Xiao Jin said this, his eyes lowered and fell on a few people.

Those few people didn't dare to get up. They just lowered their heads and listened to Xiao Jin's instructions.

"There is no intention to pursue the matter in Yangzhou any longer, but the tail that needs to be cleaned up should be cleaned up by all the adults."

"I understand."

There is no need to think carefully about Xiao Jin's words. The Yangzhou magistrate will be forced back to the capital soon, and he may not live long.

The adults looked at each other and fell silent.

"Master Chen, please stay for a moment."

"yes."

Chen Cheng stopped, turned around to look at Xiao Jin, and quickly lowered his head.

After the others left, Xiao Jin got down from his position and walked to Chen Cheng.

"Master Chen, there is one matter that I, after thinking about it for a long time, would like to leave it to you to handle."

"Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty."

Chen Cheng returned without any hesitation.

Xiao Jin nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Chen."

——

Prince An's Mansion.

King An was lying in the gentle countryside, lingering in his thoughts.

Suddenly, the door was broken open and the Forbidden Army rushed in.

"What are you doing?"

King An's concubines fled in all directions, while King An looked at the imperial guards who rushed in with a cruel look.

Feng Hu, the leader of the Forbidden Army, stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "His Royal Highness, Prince An, Your Majesty has a decree and orders us to take you into the palace."

"Father?"

King An's expression changed, and he saw that everyone in the imperial army had indifferent expressions, and his heart became even tighter.

What happened?

Feng Hu stared at Prince An, "Your Highness, let's go."

"I will change my clothes first!"

King An knew that he could not run away, so he turned around and put on his clothes before leaving with the imperial army.

Many people in the capital had heard about such a huge battle.

In the palace.

King An was taken to the Jinluan Palace.

As soon as he entered, King An saw several ministers kneeling on the ground.

His legs weakened, and he collapsed to the ground before anyone could step forward.

Emperor Jianwen raised his head coldly and looked at King An.

"Lao Liu, why don't you come forward?"

King An felt that his legs were so weak that he couldn't move.

Although he didn't know what happened, King An understood that Emperor Jianwen's reaction was definitely not a good thing.

not to mention……

King An's eyes passed over several ministers. These people were all working for him secretly!

"Master Feng."

Emperor Jianwen spoke calmly.

Emperor Jianwen didn't need to say anything, Feng Hu understood. He lifted Prince An with one hand, as easily as he was carrying a piece of clothing, and brought Prince An to the front.

King An tried his best to control himself and sat up on his knees.

"My son... my son... I have met my father."

"Do you know why I came to you?"

Emperor Jianwen didn't care about King An's inappropriate etiquette. He just lowered his body slightly and asked every word.

Sweat was already pouring from Prince An's forehead, and several adults nearby had already prostrate themselves on the ground, unable to say a single word.

"Son... I don't know."

"Eunuch Wan, go and give my sixth son a good talk."

Emperor Jianwen withdrew his gaze and gave instructions.

After receiving the order, Wan Gonggong bowed and walked down to King An.

Several dull sounds sounded, and several account books and a piece of iron ore appeared in front of King An.

King An felt a chill all over his body. He kowtowed violently and said, "Father, please calm down. Father, please calm down. My son... I also want to give my father a surprise!"

At this time, King An's voice became sharper and he stopped stuttering.

Emperor Jianwen watched with interest, but did not speak.

Eunuch Wan lowered his head slightly. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Emperor Jianwen did not make any move, so he said: "Your Highness, Prince An, please take a good look at this account book."

King An didn't dare to move, his hands kept shaking, and he finally managed to hold an account book.

"Old Liu, what is the surprise you said you wanted to give me?"

Suddenly, Emperor Jianwen spoke.

This sound startled King An, and the account book fell to the ground again.

Without bothering to look through it, King An lowered his head to the ground, "Father, my son also discovered a mine not long ago. He originally wanted to mine it, but let me tell you, father, that my son has absolutely no intention of taking it for himself!"

"What about the mine?"

Emperor Jianwen's voice became colder and colder.

Even Eunuch Wan's heart tightened. It had been many years since he had seen the emperor so angry.

"Mines?" King An was stunned, "Those mines are all in the mines."

He thought Emperor Jianwen was angry that he didn't report the mine and formed a party for personal gain, but that didn't seem to be the case?

Although those ministers worked for him, King An knew that his mother-in-law died young and her mother-in-law could not give him any help, so he knew very well how far he could go.

Therefore, he established a good relationship with several royal brothers early on, so that no matter who ascended the throne, he would be safer.

Emperor Jianwen sneered when he heard what King An said.

He slammed the table suddenly, "In the mine! Old Six, you are really good at telling lies! I haven't seen a single mine in this mine!"

"impossible!"

King An exclaimed.

But soon, he realized that what he said now was clearly a slap in his father's face.

His father must have sent someone to check whether there was any ore in the mine. King An was sweating more on his back, and his inner clothes seemed to be getting soaked.

"My father is aware that my son really did not embezzle those iron mines!"

King An was trembling, but he couldn't produce any evidence.

Emperor Jianwen was a little bored and waved his hand, "Lock up Prince An first."

"yes."

Feng Hu picked up King An again and took him down together with several other officials.
