Originally, Tang Yi had come to confront Shangguan Xiong, but his main purpose in coming here today was to say that he had seen the Imperial Jade Seal in the Mansion.

But now that things had progressed to this stage, Tang Yi suddenly changed his mind. It was true that he wanted to stay in the upper official palaces, but he also didn't want the people from the palaces to think that his heart wasn't in the palaces.

"Milord, I am the cousin of Meng Lianxuan, and the cousin of the current Crown Prince. "Before, I had been staying in the Prince's Mansion. Now, in order to protect my life, I am temporarily staying in the Shangguan Palace." Tang Yi immediately knelt down and didn't even exchange a glance with the people above.

Shangguan Xiong was also very proud, probably because he felt that everything was within his control, so he very naturally asked Tang Yi why he wanted to protect his own life.

"Are you safe in the Prince's Mansion?" Before Shangguan Xiong could ask anything, the Emperor had already questioned him.

He had never seen this person before, and it was likely that this person had a bad relationship with Meng Ling Xuan. Since he was his cousin, there had to be an explanation.

"Reporting to the emperor, this commoner deserves to die, because the huge gambling debts they incurred were paid back by my sister-in-law. "She once said that as long as she had money, she would return it to her sister-in-law. However, since it was useless, she had been unable to return it."

As he spoke, Tang Yi's face was full of remorse, indicating that he already knew his mistake.

"Go on, why does this have to do with you leaving the manor?" The emperor seemed to have sensed that there was a story behind this person as well, and his interest was piqued.

Song Xiangsi did not panic at all. He had not done anything and was still fifty thousand silver taels away. No matter what, it was not his problem.

"Although I borrowed 100,000 taels from my sister-in-law, she also said that I would use this money first and not be in a hurry to return it." But then I looked at my sister-in-law with a strange look. Sure enough, I went through an assassination attempt, and then I decided to leave the palace. "

From the looks of it, this story had nothing to do with Meng Ling Xuan's Imperial Jade Seal.

Hearing this, Shangguan Xiong could only secretly feel anxious. He was still looking forward to hearing it from Tang Yi, but unfortunately, Tang Yi didn't say anything in the end.

"It's gone just like that?" The Emperor also expressed his curiosity. The assassination didn't mean anything, and it had nothing to do with the case.

"Yes, I met Sir Shangguan. He treated me very well and then left me here to help out. "But doesn't the emperor know that a hundred thousand silver is no small sum? Why would my sister-in-law have one?"

That was all Tang Yi could do to help. He couldn't go against the Duke's Mansion so blatantly.

Based on what he was thinking, this time, Meng Huaxuan would definitely be able to escape danger. For the sake of his future life in the prince's estate, he couldn't take the risk to help others deal with it.

Tang Yi had always known that this cousin of his was very talented. Of course, he wouldn't be framed like that. He was also well aware that this Imperial Jade Seal couldn't possibly belong to the King's Manor.

"Mm, I also feel that there's something wrong with what you said." The emperor pondered whether he could also borrow money from Song Xiangsi. After all, he was not in a hurry to pay it back. It was best if the treasury ran out recently.

"Don't you have anything else to add?" Shangguan Xiong was angry, this was different from what they had said previously, they hadn't thought that they would be toyed with by this little brat Tang Yi.

He had even given him fifty thousand taels for free. That was no small sum even for an official of the imperial government.

"Sir Shangguan, these are not enough to prove me. That Imperial Jade Seal, I also said it wasn't mine." Meng Ling Xuan wasn't worried at all. He had originally thought that this would involve a major case, but he didn't expect nothing at all.

"Your majesty, there must be other clues in this case. Please give me a little more time." Shangguan Xiong had no other choice, at the moment, all the evidence could not be pointed at Meng Ling Xuan.

"Do you think my words are child's play? How can you go back on your words when you have already said the time? " It could be seen that the Emperor was truly angry, and actually allowed him some time.

From the very beginning, the emperor had disapproved of Meng Huanghun entering the prison. It had already been a week, and that was the time limit he could tolerate.

"Since Sir Shangguan is incapable, then what have you investigated this week?" Speak up. If you can't solve this case, the two of you should wait for punishment. "

Hearing the emperor's tone, it did not sound like he was joking. Song Xiangsi was probably the only one who felt wronged.

She was just a supervisor, and in addition, she had not moved in the past two days. Since Shangguan Xiong did not move, she naturally did not make any moves.

In her eyes, she met Meng Ling Xuan's gaze once again. Song Xiangsi had gained Meng Ling Xuan's support.

But what's the use? Was he not the one to be dealt with?

Meng Huaxuan and the Emperor were brothers. He wasn't the same person, after all. However, she was willing to speak up for Meng Ling Xuan.

"I haven't found anything in the past two days, but based on the current evidence, it's enough!" Song Xiangsi's words were very absolute. She did not think that Tang Yi could pose any threat to her.

Besides, he owed him money anyway. This was a fact that could not be changed.

"So, you are willing to be punished?" The emperor's eyes narrowed. According to his understanding of Song Xiangsi, this matter would not end so easily.

"Of course … No. However, from the looks of it, the Imperial Jade Seal was discovered in the King's Manor. However, our mansion is usually open to the public. It doesn't mean that our security isn't strict. That's why it doesn't mean that it belongs to the Prince's Mansion. Besides, if it really was my husband who made it, how could it be placed under his bed? Isn't it hard to sleep? "

It had to be said that Song Xiangsi really admired the brain of that person who hid things. If it was placed under the blanket, wouldn't it be easily found?

"But from what I see, this Imperial Jade Seal is pretty good. Even if my husband found someone to carve it, it should still be given to the Emperor." After all, the materials for this Imperial Jade Seal are so rare. " Song Xiangsi's words were clear and logical. Although she did not know what kind of stone the raw material for the Imperial Jade Seal was, there was absolutely no such material in the palace.

As he spoke, everyone turned their attention to the Imperial Jade Seal. These days, the Imperial Jade Seal had been kept in the study room of the Imperial Palace. Whether it was its color or composition, it was a top-grade piece of jade.

"Eunuch Guo, bring me the Imperial Jade Seal. I want to take a look at it again." This undoubtedly aroused the Emperor's suspicions. Could it be that Meng Fanxuan had seen this long ago?

"Also, my younger cousin, Tang Yi, can be said to have nothing to do with this case. Of course, if he's going to the prosecutor, I don't mind taking another trip. But I can prove that it doesn't matter if he's been involved in some so-called murder or not, it has nothing to do with me. "

The domineering attitude that Song Xiangsi spoke of, aside from the Emperor and Meng Ling Xuan, everyone else present had their own little schemes in their hearts.
