”Watch her carefully for me. Her mother's identity was a mystery to me, I have to be on my guard against her.”

”Yes, that Fifth Prince over there...”

Emperor An was deep in thought for a moment.

Su Li had appeared among the Case of Heart Stealing, and the fifth brother wanted to investigate the past eight years ago, but he didn't care about her life or death in the slightest. Presumably, it was either because Su Li didn't enter his eyes, or his obsession with that matter was already a lot weaker.

No matter what, Ol 'Five did not protect Su Li, and that was within his expectations.

”Leave Ol 'Five to Shadow to watch.”

”Yes.”

The Emperor An's decree arrived at the General's Mansion that very night, and ordered for Su Lincheng to bring Su Li to the palace for an audience every other day.

People from the General's Mansion had gone to the Yi Village that very night in order to take Su Li back to the residence.

Su Lincheng was smart enough to send Su Qianyan as a lobbyist.

When Su Li saw Su Qianyan, he was using pork meat as an example to teach Song Lai how to dissect it.

”Fourth sister!” Su Qianyan's eyes reddened, her voice choked, ”That day when you were being punished, I was locked in my room by mother and could not help you, I truly let you down.”

Su Li purposely wiped his hands on the pig meat a few times, then went over to welcome her and directly threw himself into her embrace, wiping his greasy hands on her body again and again.

”I knew Second Sister would not abandon me.”

A hint of disgust flashed past Su Qianyan's eyes, then continued, ”You helped Fifth Prince to break the Case of Heart Stealing, so the emperor definitely wants to forgive you for having your innocence destroyed.”

”Is this true?” I won't be bathed in a pig cage? ”

”Of course it's true. The reason I'm taking you back to the manor is because tomorrow, my father is going to bring you to the palace as a saint.”

”Then will I be able to marry the Crown Prince again?”

The corner of Su Qianyan's mouth twitched, ”Yes yes yes, of course you can still marry the Crown Prince you like. If you keep this matter under wraps and you have the marriage engagement with you, the emperor will definitely grant your wish.”

Su Li sneered from the bottom of his heart.

She did not need to be immersed in the pig cage, and if she did not let go of the engagement, she would not know what was good for her and would seek her own death.

Su Qianyan wanted to trick her into seeking death with just a few words.

She seemed to happily agree, but in her heart, she had already made up her mind.

Su Li walked closer to Song Lai, ”I'll return to my General's Mansion first, I keep my room for me. I like it here.”

Song Lai nodded, and looked at her worriedly, ”The wounds on Fourth Miss's back have not healed yet, and they want to recover their General's Mansion, do you need me to invite Fifth Prince over?”

”No need.”

”Yes.”

After bidding farewell to Song Lai, Su Li changed into a new set of clothes and followed Su Qianyan back into the carriage to return to the General's Mansion.

”Fourth sister, on the day of your punishment, third sister and the crown prince became intimate in public. Father reported this matter to the royal family. When we enter the palace tomorrow, the third sister will go as well.

”What?” Su Li took on the attitude of an original owner, and slapped the chair, ”If Third Sister gets the Emperor's gift to marry, if she is the one who is bestowed the throne and I am Shu, then wouldn't I have to give the position of Crown Prince's Wife to her?”

Su Qianyan's gaze turned cold as he clenched his fists tightly, ”Fourth sister, don't be afraid. Third sister caused your innocence to be destroyed.

”But I have no evidence other than that.”

”I have already convinced Hexin, she is willing to testify for you.”

”Great.” Su Li smiled, and asked in a harmless manner: ”Then tomorrow, will Hexin also go to the palace with Third Sister?”

”Yes.”

Once the carriage entered the General's Mansion, no one came out to welcome them.

Su Qianyan sent Su Li back to the western courtyard and then took the chance to leave.

Before Su Li even entered the courtyard door, two thin and weak servant girls ran out while trembling in fear.
