Lord Du took Shen Yu back to the Dali Temple and reported to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Shen Yu has been taken back to the Dali Temple. Does he need to be brought to trial?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "Keep him locked up for now."

He now knew everything that happened in Yueqing Palace, and it didn't matter whether Shen Yu tried him or not.

The tricky thing now is the shackles on Yao Xuan's feet in the secret room. Without the key, Yao Xuan has no way to leave the secret room.

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

I never thought there was someone around the tyrant who understood the mechanism. It's hilarious. Prince Yueqing suspects Shen Yu will definitely go check on Yao Xuan. When he finds out the mechanism can't be opened, his expression must be very interesting.

[It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes. ]

[However, even though the tyrant tampered with the mechanism, he still couldn't rescue Yao Xuan. The key to her shackles was always carried close to the Prince of Yueqing, so getting it was far from easy.]

The emperor was troubled by this matter. Prince Yueqing was really useless. One of his shackles was made of black iron and could not be cut at all.

How could he forget about Yang Xin? Doesn't that bastard King Yueqing want to tease Yang Xin? He can let Yang Xin see if he can get the key.

[But this will definitely put Yang Xin in a difficult position.]

emperor:"……"

Is Luo'er trying to use the beauty trap?

Yao Xuan is not bad looking but she was tortured like this by the King of Yueqing. Yang Xin is not even as good looking as Yao Xuan. Can this beauty trap work?

While he was thinking, Eunuch Cao walked in.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince and General Jin arrived safely in Changshan County the day before yesterday. This is the letter they delivered."

[Oh, yes, I almost forgot about my third brother and uncle.]

The emperor took the letter, opened it, and frowned after reading its contents.

It really was embezzled by someone. How courageous of them.

Luo'er said that this was the work of an acquaintance. Could it be the Prince of Yueqing?

[I didn't expect my Third Brother and Uncle to be so efficient. They found out where the money went so quickly.]

[However, these people are all dead, and the person who actually took the silver is still hiding.]

The Prince of Yueqing thought that his men had taken the silver, but he didn't know that he, too, was being kept in the dark by his men.

…

The King of Yueqing, who was kept in the dark, also received the news that General Jin and the Third Prince had arrived in Changshan.

He tightly grasped the letter in his hand and gave instructions to his subordinates.

"Let our people withdraw and don't become scapegoats."

The subordinate asked quietly, "Then how does the prince plan to deal with them?"

Prince Yueqing rubbed his temples and said, "We'll talk about it later."

These people are so bold as to deceive him.

He wanted these people to stay in Changshan County because he wanted them to prevent Changshan County from getting better, which would quickly arouse public anger. Then he would find a way to bring these people under his command.

As a result, Changshan did become poor, but it had nothing to do with him.

So who took the silver?

The more he thought about the King of Yueqing, the angrier he became. This feeling of not even knowing who his opponent was made him feel very angry.

The agency's problems have not been resolved, and now such a bad thing has happened here, which really doesn't give him a moment's rest.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

The subordinate opened the door and saw Yang Xin dressed as a servant at the door. He was stunned for a moment and let him in.

Prince Yueqing looked at Yang Xin who came in with some surprise.

"Why is Miss Yang here?"

Yang Xin walked to the side of Prince Yueqing and sat down. "I heard from my father that Shen Yu was taken to the Dali Temple. Did something happen to the prince?"

Prince Yueqing asked his subordinates to leave and poured a cup of tea for Yang Xin. "Nothing happened."

He didn't want to tell Yang Xin about Yao Xuan's affairs. His subordinates had followed him for so long and didn't know about it, so Yang Xin didn't need to know.

"Really?" Yang Xin stared at Prince Yueqing. "Looking at His Majesty's expression, I thought something had happened to him. Since His Majesty doesn't want to talk about it, I'll just assume it's my imagination."

Next, Yang Xin just drank tea quietly without saying a word.

"Does the Dali Temple intend to try Shen Yu?"

Prince Yueqing was silent for a while, then spoke to break the quiet atmosphere.

"I asked my father to postpone the trial, but I don't know how long it will last."

While speaking, Yang Xin looked at the accessories on Prince Yueqing's body inconspicuously. After looking around, he did not see anything like keys.

"By the way," Yang Xin put down his teacup, "I heard that the Third Prince and General Jin have already arrived in Changshan. If the prince reaches out to that place, we should withdraw first."

Seeing Yang Xin about to get up and leave, Prince Yueqing said, "Miss Yang, why don't you have a drink with me?"

Yang Xin did not stop because of his words, but stood up and shook his head.

"Your Highness wants to drown his sorrows in wine, but I don't have time to accompany you."

If she hadn't wanted to find out the whereabouts of the key, she wouldn't have wanted to come here.

Prince Yueqing curled his lips and smiled, "Who said I wanted to drown my sorrows in wine? I just wanted to drink with Miss Yang, so that all the troubles would go away."

Yang Xin sneered in his heart, stopped and turned around.

"Then Your Majesty, please come with me to the lake."

It was the first time that Prince Yueqing met someone like Yang Xin. He was not fooled by his sweet words, which made him feel that he was quite interesting.

"Okay," Prince Yueqing stood up, "Miss Yang, are you going out wearing this?"

Yang Xin glanced at the clothes she was wearing, "Is there any problem?"

When the subordinates saw their prince, who was extremely angry just now, and Yang Xin coming out with a smile, they almost thought they had seen it wrong.

Could it be that the prince likes to be indifferent to me?

…

The two of them left the house and went to the place where they were going to boat on the lake.

Qingfeng, who was following Yang Xin, glanced at Qingrong.

"Sister Rongrong, why did Miss Yang go boating again? Wasn't it to check for the key?"

If I didn't know, I would have thought they were having a tryst.

"I guess it's because we didn't see it on Prince Yueqing. We'll act according to the situation and create some opportunities for Miss Yang."

Yang Xin did have other plans. She didn't see the key on Prince Yueqing. Could it be that he had hidden it on his body?

"What is Miss Yang thinking about?" Prince Yueqing looked at the scenery outside and felt much better.

"Nothing," Yang Xin withdrew her thoughts and suddenly felt her boat hit hard by other boats. She leaned forward uncontrollably.

Prince Yueqing subconsciously reached out to support her, "Are you okay?"

Yang Xin stood up straight and said, "It's okay, Your Highness, go and see what's going on."

Could it be that the secret guards following him knew his plan?

Yang Xin couldn't help but feel a little admiration in her heart. In this case, she had to make good use of this opportunity.

She followed Prince Yueqing out, and the boat was hit hard again.

"Your Highness, be careful," Yang Xin took the opportunity to push Prince Yueqing into the water while leaning forward.

Hearing the "plop" sound, Qingfeng knew he had succeeded.

Prince Yueqing fell into the water unexpectedly and felt a little annoyed.

Who hit his boat? If he had known, he would not have helped Yang Xin.

"Your Highness, wait for me to come down and rescue you." Seeing Prince Yueqing swimming upstream, Yang Xin jumped into the water with a "splash" and knocked Prince Yueqing, who was about to swim up, down again.
