At night, after returning home, Zhao Shun went straight to Jialan Residence.

Shen Qinglan had just finished taking a bath, and when she saw the blood stains on his body, she quickly asked, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, it's not my blood. I just went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice today, and it happened that the Ministry of Criminal Justice was executing prisoners, so I accidentally got it on my body." Zhao Shun said.

"Yan'er Fu'er, prepare a pot of bathing soup for the prince."

After Shen Qinglan gave the order, she got up and wanted to help him take off his blood-stained robe.

Zhao Shun took half a step back, "I'd better do it myself, lest you get dirty."

"My lord, did you do something today?" Shen Qinglan asked.

Zhao Shun chuckled, took off his outer robe, and handed it to Yan'er, "Nothing can be hidden from you, my princess is indeed extremely intelligent."

"Where is my intelligence, it is the prince's reason is too far-fetched, if you meet the criminal department to execute the prisoner, how can you get it from the sidelines." Shen Qinglan said.

"Hmm... Butler Liu and Nanny Du were interrogated today. I didn't want to go to see them, but I went because I heard that they refused to confess." Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan pulled him to sit down, and asked: "What method did the prince use?"

"It's not a good way. They refused to confess, just because they were worried that they would harm their family members. I ordered their children and grandchildren to be arrested and brought to the Ministry of Punishment." Zhao Shun said.

"Ah?" Shen Qinglan was shocked, "My lord, that's the Ministry of Punishment, not our mansion. Isn't your method tantamount to coercion and lure?"

Zhao Shun chuckled, and took the teacup from Yan'er, "I don't care."

All he wanted to do now was to find out who was going to kill Shen Qinglan, and who was going to kill his mother and concubine back then.

Shen Qinglan sighed softly, Zhao Shun put down the teacup, his expression was gloomy.

"Sisi...I..."

Zhao Shun's hand trembled slightly, Shen Qinglan held his hand, and comforted him: "It seems that the lord has already made a decision, but in fact the lord has already expected it, why bother to be sad for this kind of person?"

"I just hate, I hate me for being a fool for so many years, I didn't find out the true face of the villain early in the morning, and avenge my mother." Zhao Shun said.

"I know that the lord has never doubted the people around the former concubine, but even so, the lord can't do it rashly. This matter always reveals something weird." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun took a deep breath, thought about what had happened recently, and sneered.

"These people are really omnipotent." Zhao Shun sighed, and after a moment of silence, he spoke again, "There were turmoil in the previous dynasty, and the waves were treacherous. Now the throne is vacant, and I, the regent, are in power. In order to get rid of Me, I was accused of disloyalty and unfilial piety, they did not hesitate to dissect all the truth of the year, and put it in front of me with their own hands."

"If the prince is really against the people of Prince Heng's mansion because of the old grievances in the past, and hurts the father-son relationship with Prince Heng, then the prince will really be the enemy." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun chuckled, "Is there anything else I care about now? Ever since Jin became my father's concubine, she has made things difficult for me everywhere, sowing discord in front of my father and grandmother. If it wasn't for her, the empress dowager It's my own grandmother, how could she hate me so much. What's more, she bribed Madam Du and Steward Liu to poison my mother and concubine's soup. My mother and concubine fell ill back then, and even the imperial physician didn't think of it. She will never get sick, it turns out that they deliberately murdered her..."

"My lord, if you can't bear it a little, you will make a big mess, so it's better to bear it for a while." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun shook his head, "I can't bear it anymore, I want to take the lives of the Jing family and the Jin family within a month."

"My lord..."

"Sisi, take good care of our Linyuan and Shenfu. I will leave a hundred guards for you. I will handle the outside affairs."

A killing intent flashed in Zhao Shun's eyes, and Shen Qinglan suddenly panicked.

"My lord, why are you doing this... I, I can help you."

"Sisi, don't be afraid, your prince will not lose."
-
At night, Zhao Shun hugged Shen Qinglan quietly, and the two of them could not sleep peacefully for a long time.

"Why don't you sleep?" Zhao Shun asked.

"Can't sleep, isn't the prince the same?" Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun chuckled, "Recently, you like to call me prince, but now you are on the bed, so don't call me that."

Shen Qinglan sniffed, "Zhao Shun, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhao Shun said, holding her tighter.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight them, I'm afraid you'll get hurt, I'm afraid you'll leave me, I'm afraid we will never come back to our current stable life." Shen Qinglan said, shedding tears silently.

Zhao Shun looked down at her, and wiped away the tears on her face, "Sisi, I won't lose, trust me."

"You keep telling me to trust you, but when did you ever trust me?" Shen Qinglan said.

"I……"

"The inner house is without me, so it will definitely be able to bear it. Zhao Shun, you might as well leave it to me to handle the affairs of Princess Heng." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun hesitated for a moment, then said: "Okay."

He looked down at Shen Qinglan, and kissed her lightly on the forehead, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Do you not believe me at all?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"No, I just don't want you to work too hard. After all, such things will inevitably hurt your heart and mind." Zhao Shun said.

"What's so sad about this? It's just a trivial matter. Don't worry, when you get rid of Jing's, I will be able to get rid of Jin's after a month."

Zhao Shun smiled, "Has my Sisi already made up her mind?"

"That's natural, things in the inner house, maybe your princess is better at it than you."

"Thank you for your hard work, so why don't you hand over the gift tonight for your husband?"

Shen Qinglan frowned, and Zhao Shun pressed her forward.

"You bastard, you actually repay your kindness with revenge!"

"Then be gentler to your husband, isn't it considered revenge?"

"You, um..."
-
In the early morning of the second day, when Shen Qinglan woke up, Zhao Shun had already left.

After breakfast, she ordered someone to call Murong Bo.

"My subordinate Murong Bo, I have seen the princess."

"Brother Murong, has the prince greeted you?"

"Returning to the princess, the prince has already said that he ordered me to listen to you during this period of time."

Shen Qinglan gave Yan'er a wink, and Yan'er immediately brought over tea, moved a chair, and invited Murong Bo to sit down.

"Brother Murong, I would like you to help me find out the preferences of the Empress Dowager, and some past events that happened in Prince Heng's Mansion. Although it is a long time ago, many old people in Prince Heng's Mansion are still there, so there should be some clues to follow." Shen Qinglan road.

"Well, please don't worry, Wangfei, the two brothers under him have served the prince since they were young, so they are considered familiar with these people." Murong Duan said.

"Well, at the Shen residence, Ji Fan and Miao Ke, they all obey your order, try not to use people from the palace and court." Shen Qinglan said.

"My subordinate understands."
