"Miss, Your Highness, please make a trip to the Crown Prince's Palace to discuss the case of the missing jade pendant." Qingyu came in to report.

Yan Ling nodded his head and said to Qingyu: "Li Yi is not feeling well today. You should accompany me out."

"Your servant obeys." Qingyu lowered her head and retreated two steps.

Li Yi looked at the two's figures from afar. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak.

Crown Prince's Palace.

After the crowd left, only Yan Ling and Liang He were left in the huge room. For a moment, he didn't know what to say in his heart.

"You … Why did you say those words in front of the Emperor today? " In the end, Yan Ling could not help but ask.

As if he had already expected that Yan Ling would ask such a question, Liang He took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Naturally, I know Imperial Father's temper. That's why I said that on purpose."

Hearing this, Yan Ling became even more confused.

Seeing the frown on Yan Ling's face, Liang He looked at her with a burning gaze. He said softly, "If it wasn't for that, Royal Father would blame you."

Yan Ling was shocked. She did not expect this to be the reason. For some reason, she suddenly thought of the strange expression on the carriage. So she had already understood it at that time.

He was truly a fan of the situation. He knew what was going on from the sidelines. He sighed.

"Why are you sighing? "Don't worry, we will definitely find the killer within a month." Liang He consoled.

"I'm not worried about that, it's just you …" When he thought of how Liang He was only like this sometimes because of him, he couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Ling'er, are you worried about me?" Liang He's eyes suddenly lit up. He turned around and teased with a look of anticipation.

"I …" He wanted to admit it, but...

After a long while, Yan Ling seemed to have come to a conclusion. Thinking about it, it was ultimately because of Yan Ling that Liang He had been implicated. Even if they were worried about him, it was only natural. Otherwise, wouldn't he be too heartless?

"I'm worried about you. If it wasn't for me, how could you have been implicated by this?" Yan Ling said slowly before he lowered his head unnaturally.

Even though Yan Ling had explained the reason why he was worried about him … But, why would Liang He care about this? The only thing he heard was that Yan Ling was worried about him.

Thinking of this, Liang He couldn't help but be in an excellent mood. Yan Ling was not the type of person to reveal his feelings. Now that he could hear this, Liang He was already very satisfied.

"Your method this time is very different from your usual ways. I believe that many people have already seen through your intentions. "If the emperor finds out, I'm afraid …" Yan Ling seemed to have thought of something as he raised his head and said.

"Definitely not. Perhaps others might be able to see something, but my mother and I have never been close. He doesn't understand how I handle things." Liang He said casually.

"As for royal father …" Liang He sighed.

"What happened to the emperor?" Just as he let out a sigh of relief, his heart was lifted again.

"Don't worry. Although royal father is still healthy, after all, he is already old. Recently, he has become more irritable and irritable, so he won't go too deep into this matter." Liang He said with some confusion.

Naturally, Yan Ling could also feel that something was wrong with Liang He's current mood. Thus, he did not say anything and only calmly looked at him.

Liang He was indeed a bit worried. The Emperor could not hold on for many years. Although the Third Prince appeared free and easy to deal with, he had always been able to win over the hearts of people behind his back.

In these years, Liang Yi's power was gradually expanding. If the emperor really did give up his life, then perhaps Liang Yi would be so easy to deal with.

On one hand, Liang He was determined to obtain the throne. On the other hand, he was also clear that the matters of the imperial family would not be so simple, and the battle for the throne was even more so.

If it was Liang He who ascended to the throne, even if it was for his reputation, he would still care about his brotherly feelings. But Liang Yi was different. If he really succeeded, Liang He would probably be the first target that Qin Lie would kill.

As for Yan Ling, Liang He frowned. Anyone could tell what Liang Yi was thinking about. It was a pity that no one knew the true emotions behind it.

According to Liang He's understanding of Liang Yi, the reason why he approached Yan Ling was definitely to win him over. Whether it was to win over Prime Minister Yan Ling or for some other reason, he wasn't that simple after all.

However, no matter what the reason was, Liang He wouldn't allow anyone to take advantage of him.

"My matter is not important, so it will not happen. Let's talk about the jade pendant first. Finding it now is the most important thing. " Liang He was silent for a moment before he finally spoke. A smile once again hung on his face.

"Everyone in my yard has already been called for questioning. There doesn't seem to be any valuable clues?" When he spoke of this matter, Yan Ling felt a little helpless.

"Ling'er, do you still remember what I said to father in the great hall today?" Liang He asked with a smile.

Liang He didn't seem to plan on waiting for Yan Ling to reply. While Yan Ling was deep in thought, he continued, "I said that the Prime Minister's Estate is heavily guarded, and that's true."

It didn't matter if it was for personal gain or power. In short, when Liang He arranged for the patrols, he had also arranged for many experts to be stationed at the Prime Minister's Estate.

If someone was plotting against him, it would not be easy for him to enter and exit the City Lord's Mansion. However, Liang He had no intention of letting Yan Ling know about this matter.

"I've sent people to ask before. A person who had been guarding nearby the Prime Minister's Estate yesterday. It was quite a coincidence that they were all experts last night. "Based on their abilities, if someone were to barge into the Prime Minister's estate and steal something, it would be impossible for them to not notice."

Liang He had long since come to the conclusion that the patrolling guards in the capital would indeed be changed periodically. There wasn't anything strange about his words, so Yan Ling naturally didn't think too much about it.

"Based on what you said …" Yan Ling couldn't help but frown.

"If I'm not wrong, the person who stole the jade pendant is from the mansion. And it's very possible that it's someone from your courtyard. " Liang He's eyes turned slightly cold.

If there really was such a scheming person by Yan Ling's side, then whether it was for the sake of the jade pendant or not, he should be found out.

For some reason, Liang He suddenly thought of that young man called Nan Yan.

Although Liang He had previously sent someone to find out Nanyan's true identity. However, before Qin Lie could be of some use and even touch Yan Ling, Liang He did not plan to attack him. Naturally, he did not tell Yan Ling about this either.

On the one hand, Liang He didn't want Yan Ling to know that he was investigating the people around him. On the other hand, he believed that there was no reason for him to interfere with his words and actions.

However, if this matter was really done by Nanyan, then Liang He wouldn't let him off, much less talk about danger.

"That youth called Nan Yan, have you asked?" Liang He thought about it, then asked.
