Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

In the main hall, the inspection commander made Han Jiang kneel on the ground respectfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood in front of the couch, standing with his hands behind his hands, showing dignity.

"Han Jiang! Do you know your guilt?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Han Jiang and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I am so stupid that I don't know what crime I have committed."

Han Jiang knelt on the ground respectfully and said hesitantly.

"I don't know?!"

"Okay, then let me ask you, where is Colonel Mao Xiang now?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and asked in a deep voice.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Han Jiang was obviously stunned for a moment, and his expression couldn't help but change.

"Your Majesty, do you know everything?"

Han Jiang hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly.

"So, you admit it?!"

"It's such a big deal that the school inspector is missing, why didn't you report it?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Han Jiang and shouted sharply.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are still many doubts about this matter. I have not yet thoroughly investigated it, so I did not inform Your Majesty immediately. I did not deliberately conceal it. I originally planned to investigate it thoroughly before reporting it to Your Majesty."

Han Jiang did not dare to hesitate and answered hurriedly.

"How else to investigate?! Hu Fei has arrested everyone, and you haven't found out yet?! How dare you say you don't know about Hu Fei's arrest of Mao Xiang?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly with a majestic look on his face.

"Reporting to your majesty, there is another secret behind this matter. I hope your majesty will allow Wei Chen to explain it."

Han Jiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly.

"Tell me, what's going on?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Han Jiang and said coldly.

"yes!"

"Your Majesty, after Mao Xiang disappeared, the minister accidentally found out that someone in the palace was secretly colluding with Mao Xiang, intending to murder Prime Minister Hu, and then found out that Mao Xiang's disappearance may be related to Jiu'an Hou!"

"But there is no evidence as to whether Marquis Jiu'an really captured Mao Xiang, and because of Marquis Jiu'an's special status, I have kept silent. I plan to investigate the matter thoroughly before reporting it to Your Majesty for His Majesty's decision!"

"I didn't expect that Your Majesty would know about it so quickly. Please forgive Wei Chen for making presumptuous opinions. But Wei Chen did this just because he didn't want to make the matter bigger before the matter was investigated clearly."

"Otherwise, once the matter is revealed, the whole city will be in trouble and the government will be disrupted!"

Han Jiang lowered his head deeply and said earnestly.

After hearing Han Jiang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang froze on the spot, his face full of surprise.

"You just said that Mao Xiang secretly colluded with others to murder Prime Minister Hu?! Is this really true?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a solemn expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true that the minister has arrested Mao Xiang's cronies, and both of them have confessed."

Han Jiang nodded and said loudly.

"Who is colluding with Mao Xiang?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask with a sullen face.

"The internal envoy of Xihua Sect, Yun Qi!"

"But this person has also disappeared..."

Han Jiang swallowed and frowned.

"What?! What's going on?!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked angry again and asked sternly.

"Reporting to your majesty, according to the confession of Mao Xiang's confidants, Mao Xiang knew about the sudden appearance of the Liquan wonder in the Hu family's old house, and also knew that Prime Minister Hu wanted to invite your majesty to the Hu family's old house to watch it on the Lantern Festival."

"So Mao Xiang secretly bribed Yun Qi and planned to intercept His Majesty at Xihua Gate when he left the palace, and warned His Majesty that Prime Minister Hu had hidden an ambush in the old house with the intention of killing the king and usurping the throne, in order to anger His Majesty.

, eradicate the Hu family!"

Han Jiang lowered his head and said calmly.

"Presumptuous! He is so brave!"

After hearing what Han Jiang said, Zhu Yuanzhang became furious and shouted sharply, his face turned red with anger.

Han Jiang was lying on the ground, trembling slightly, not even daring to raise his head.

"Pang Yuhai, where is Hu Fei?!"

"Why haven't you entered the palace yet?!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Pang Yuhai, and asked loudly, with a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Back to Your Majesty, we should be here soon."

Pang Yuhai was startled and hurriedly bowed and replied.

"Han Jiang, where are the two Mao Xiang cronies you mentioned now?"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Han Jiang and asked loudly.

"Report to Your Majesty, he will be locked up in the school's health center. We have sent someone to guard him!"

Han Jiang replied hurriedly.

"Pang Yuhai, immediately order people to go to the school health center, bring those two people into the palace, and ask what is going on!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said sharply.

"yes!"

Pang Yuhai agreed and immediately exited the hall quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang had a sullen face, glared at Han Jiang who was kneeling on the ground, and walked up, his face gloomy.

...

Kunning Palace.

In the main hall.

"Queen Mother! Queen Mother! It's not good!"

As a panicked sound came, Princess Anqing rushed into the hall in a hurry, looking panicked.

"Chang Shu, what's wrong?"

Queen Ma looked at her daughter who rushed into the hall in a panic, and was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise.

"Mother, Brother Fei has been arrested by people sent by Emperor Father. Please save Brother Fei quickly! If you are late, it will be too late!"

Princess Anqing quickly came to the queen mother and said anxiously.

Looking at her anxious daughter, Queen Ma was confused.

"What are you talking about? It's too late. What happened?"

Empress Ma pulled her daughter closer, comforting her, and asked doubtfully.

Therefore, Princess Anqing told Queen Ma everything about her father's personal guards sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion to take Hu Fei away.

But in fact, these things were told to her by Chundie, because she was in the wing at the time and didn't know what was happening outside.

After listening to her daughter's story, Queen Ma couldn't help but frown, with a solemn look on her face.

"Mother, you must save him. Think of a solution quickly. I don't know why he angered my father and even sent out his personal guards!"

Princess Anqing anxiously held the queen's hand and said in a panic, her eyes were red and she was about to cry in anxiety.

"Changshu, don't be impatient. Let me figure out what's going on first."

"Eunuch Feng, immediately send someone to Yangxin Hall to find out what's going on. If you have any news, report it immediately!"

While Empress Ma was comforting her daughter, she turned to look at the eunuch Feng Shao and said loudly.

"yes!"

Feng Shao agreed and immediately sent people to the Yangxin Hall.

Empress Ma, on the other hand, comforted her daughter while waiting for the news to come back, with a serious look on her face.
