The room fell into silence. Unexplained thoughts were swirling in Li Lan's eyes, but he still remained calm and stood quietly.

"Lanyi, do you think I will attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven?" Emperor Jin Ming suddenly asked.

"Yes, of course I will." Li Lan said in a sincere tone, "Your Majesty is the chosen one and will surely ascend."

"Yeah." After hearing what he said, Emperor Jin Ming seemed to be in a good mood and his tone was quite pleasant.

"Your Majesty, that thief of disaster relief money..."

"It's okay, go out, don't delay my practice."

"Yes." Li Lan stepped back and left.

Prince Qi's Mansion.

The originally ordinary front hall was filled with boxes after boxes, placed on both sides of the road. These boxes contained either gold, fine silks, or fine porcelain from Porcelain Island...

In order to prevent it from being lost, there were several guards standing around to guard it.

"Oh my god, how many rewards has the Holy One given you?" Cheng Muqing sighed, looking at Lin Heng beside him, "Are you quite popular with your father?"

"No."

"What's the matter?" Cheng Muqing tilted his head, "Doesn't this mean you don't like it?" So many good things! She bet that only Dong Palace received this kind of treatment.

"I have never met him several times," Lin Heng said, "and even less talked about."

"Oh?" The relationship between father and son seems to be very tense? Cheng Muqing raised his eyebrows, turned his attention to the gold and silver jewelry again, walked forward, picked up the hairpin and painted on his head.

"This." Lin Heng also moved forward, picked up a lotus-shaped hairpin set with sapphire, and put it on her head. He moved very gently and cautiously.

"Does it look good?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"Yeah." Lin Heng nodded, "You look good in whatever you wear."

"Ha~" Cheng Muqing smiled, "You have such a sweet mouth. Did you eat candied fruit?"

"No!" Lin Heng shook his head in denial, standing obediently like a rabbit, "I only had porridge and eggs for breakfast."

Seeing his reaction, Cheng Muqing smiled even more happily, "Why do you eat so blandly? Didn't I ask Bai Lu to make meat porridge for you?"

The sun fell on the tips of her hair, making her pure black hair shine brighter and the hairpin more beautiful.

"You're not here...I can't eat anymore." Lin Heng turned his face away and held the clothes tightly with his hands hanging by his sides.

"Then I'll eat with you next time." Cheng Muqing smiled.

Lin Heng lowered his head again and made a muffled "hmm" sound.

At this moment, sonorous and powerful footsteps suddenly came from the corridor.

Cheng Muqing followed the voice and couldn't help being surprised, "Father? Why are you..."

Mr. Cheng, dressed in a purple shirt, came in stride.

"Cheng Muqing, come with me." Mr. Cheng first glanced at Lin Heng, and then called Cheng Muqing aside.

"What's wrong? Father?" Cheng Muqing didn't know what was going on and followed him staggeringly to the end of the corridor.

"What's going on with these rewards?" Lord Cheng asked.

"It's Lin Heng who solves the case and is being rewarded." Cheng Muqing blinked, "Is there any problem with this?"

"Which prince would reward so much..." Lord Cheng sighed and asked, "I just need to confirm one thing - Prince Qi, have you ever thought about the location of the East Palace?"

Where is the East Palace?

"No! Impossible!" Cheng Muqing quickly denied, "Based on my understanding of Lin Heng, he definitely has no intention!"

"I also know... but..." Mr. Cheng looked at her with a complicated face, "I heard from Golden Eagle Guard, and I think that his solving of the case this time... is a bit abnormal. Also, there is no need to know the people behind the scenes.

How to deal with it. Zhao Shangshu is a princeling, so on his end, the prince lacks a right-hand man."

"But before we investigated the case, we didn't know that the person behind the scenes would be Zhao Liangxu, let alone that Zhao Shangshu was a princeling." Cheng Muqing naturally wanted to protect her husband. She puffed up her chest and said, "It is Lin Heng's fault.

If we find out the murderer behind the scenes, we might as well blame Zhao Liangxu for not being able to resist temptation!"

"I don't blame King Qi." Mr. Cheng retorted quickly, "I'm just afraid that you and King Qi will fall into the whirlpool of power. Now that Li Lanyi is so blatantly giving you so many rewards, maybe there will be rumors about it.

There is a rumor that King Qi has entered the East Palace. You and the prince grew up together, and King Qi is his brother. Once this rumor comes out, it will not be good for any of you."

"I understand." Cheng Muqing nodded, "Don't worry, the prince and I have absolutely no such thoughts!"

"That's good." Lord Cheng sighed, "I just hope... the outside world won't think too much about it."

"We can't control other people's mouths." Cheng Muqing shrugged, "As long as we don't break the rules."

"Yeah." Mr. Cheng nodded.

"Father, you came all the way just because of this?" Cheng Muqing raised his eyebrows, "Are you in such a hurry?"

"I heard that His Majesty was giving you a reward, so I rushed over as fast as I could." Mr. Cheng stood with his hands on his back, "This reward...is not a certain amount."

"Okay, you have been in the officialdom for a long time and you don't see anything normal." Cheng Muqing said, "You don't even look at Lin Heng. He likes to be alone and paint. He has no interest in power or money at all. This way
