Now not only Qin Qianqian was dumbfounded, but the two people in the tree were also dumbfounded.

Fourth brother finally got it?

The fourth prince has come to his senses?

"I knew you liked me."

Qin Qianqian came back to her senses and slapped the tree happily. As a result, the Third Prince and Mu Xue, who were concentrating on eavesdropping, were caught off guard by the slap. They lost their balance and fell directly from the tree.

Fortunately, the third prince managed to steady himself in time and did not fall to the ground with Mu Xue.

"You..." Qin Qianqian pointed at the two of them in disbelief.

How can I take a picture of a tree so that people appear in it?

"Third brother, why are you eavesdropping in the tree? Didn't you go to Changshan?"

He was so scared that he thought someone was trying to assassinate him.

He just expressed his feelings to Qin Qianqian. Would the Third Prince be laughing secretly in the tree?

"What do you mean by eavesdropping?" The Third Prince let go of Mu Xue and raised his hand to straighten his clothes. "The princess and I were here first. When we heard your voices, we kindly made room for you."

If he saw him and the princess, would this foolish fourth brother still express his feelings to Qin Qianqian?

"Thank you, Third Prince and Sister Xue."

Since she was heard, Qin Qianqian didn't act shy. She felt happy thinking that she was one step closer to becoming the little princess's sister-in-law.

"Fourth brother, I heard everything just now. Don't try to cheat and say you won't keep your word. A real man must be responsible."

After hearing what the third prince said, the fourth prince was furious.

"What are you talking about? I just love Qin Qianqian. Besides, am I that kind of person?"

He can cheat on other things, but if he cheats on this matter, Qin Qianqian will probably never pay attention to him again.

"Miss Qin, did you hear that?"

The Third Prince looked at the Fourth Prince who was still being hit by the tree and said meaningfully, "You guys continue. This Princess and I will go back first."

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, the Fourth Prince finally realized that the Third Prince was deliberately provoking him?

Damn it, he still fell for it.

No, he was the one who wanted to assist the third brother and the princess. Why is it the other way around now?

Besides, the third prince did not answer why he suddenly returned to Beijing.

"I was worried about Sister Xue, but now that the Third Prince is here, it's definitely not my turn to worry."

…

Everything was peaceful and tranquil for the few of them, but King Yueqing was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Yao Kang agreed to his proposal, but before he could be happy for too long, something happened in Changshan County again.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" the subordinate asked cautiously.

He even wanted to persuade Prince Yueqing to worship Buddha, which was simply against the capital.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Prince Yueqing rubbed his temple. "Didn't I tell these idiots to retreat? Why were they captured by the Third Prince? They're more trouble than help."

Who is the person hiding in the dark who is plotting against him and wants him to suffer in silence?

"Why not let Yao Kang act faster?" the subordinate asked softly.

"Anyway, once Yao Kang storms into the capital, the city will be in chaos, and the emperor won't have the energy to care about other things. It just so happens that General Jin has also been sent to Changshan County. This is a good opportunity."

Prince Yueqing glanced at his subordinates and asked, "Does it take time to deliver food and grass to Yao Kang?"

If it were that easy, he wouldn't be having such a headache.

"I've been inconsiderate," the subordinate said, lowering his head. "I'm worried that Yao Kang will regret receiving the food."

Yao Kang agreed so easily, and I felt that the prince was going to fall again.

But he only dared to think about it in his heart.

"Go back on your word?" Prince Yueqing sneered, "You really don't understand Yao Kang at all."

What Yao Kang values ​​most are his family and the soldiers who follow them in the northern border.

For these people, even if he knew there was a cliff ahead, he would jump down without hesitation.

It was precisely because of this that he had complete faith in Yao Kang.

"By the way," Prince Yueqing thought of Madam Yao and asked his subordinates, "Is Madam Yao still unconscious?"

What a useless guy, he got scared so easily.

…

What Prince Yueqing didn't know was that Madam Yao was grinding ink for Yao Xuan at this moment.

Yao Xuan wanted to take advantage of the fact that she was still conscious and write down everything that Prince Yueqing had done to her.

She held the pen with great difficulty and wrote carefully on the paper.

Yao Xuan had just finished writing when the emperor and Yu Yiluo came in.

"Your Highness."

Madam Yao bowed and handed what Yao Xuan had written to the emperor.

The emperor already knew the reason through Yu Yiluo's thoughts, so he just took a quick look.

"Madam Yao, please get up," the emperor walked to the chair and sat down, asking Eunuch Cao to hand the intercepted secret letter to Madam Yao.

After opening the secret letter and reading it, Mrs. Yao knelt on the ground in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, Kang'er wouldn't do such a thing. This must be a misunderstanding."

The son is very filial and was personally cultivated by the master, so how could he possibly rebel?

Yao Xuan also shook her head, wondering if her brother was threatened by King Yueqing.

What a tyrant! He sent us to the Northern Frontier for so many years and forbade us from returning. Yao Kang is a man of loyalty and righteousness, and he couldn't bear to see the soldiers suffer, so he agreed to the King of Yueqing's request.

He probably didn't know that the Prince of Yueqing had tortured his sister to this extent, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to the Prince of Yueqing's request.

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Madam Yao to stand up.

He knew that General Yao was loyal, so he sent General Yao to garrison the northern border.

But he didn't expect that this would make Yao Kang dissatisfied. The northern border was indeed difficult, but there had to be someone stationed there to protect the safety of the people.

"I also believe in the children taught by General Yao."

The emperor sighed inwardly, thinking that it was indeed his inconsideration that the soldiers from the northern border had not been reunited with them for many years.

Yao Xuan looks like she won't live long now. If General Yao loses another son, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear the blow.

Now he just hopes Yao Kang can stop before it’s too late.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Madam Yao stood up and wiped away her tears.

The daughter has been tortured like this. If the son really rebels, wouldn’t that be the end of their lives?

…

In the next few days, Prince Yueqing focused all his attention on Yao Kang.

He didn't even have time to take care of Mrs. Yao.

As soon as the Third Prince returned to Changshan County, he took people to search the cave.

Luo'er said that these people might move to another place and he had to hurry.

"Third Prince, what are we doing here?"

Cai Ze followed the Third Prince and General Jin and asked in confusion.

They searched the area several times but found nothing.

The third prince stopped and looked at the mountain in front of him, trying to find a cave entrance or something.

"Have you ever thought about why they moved so much silver without arousing suspicion?"

General Jin frowned, "The Third Prince means that the person behind this is still in Changshan."

After the Third Prince returned to Beijing, he and Cai Ze investigated for several days and indeed did not find any suspicious persons appearing in Changshan.

Changshan is now full of old, weak and sick people. If young people really appear, it will definitely attract attention.

"That's right."

The Third Prince looked at the soldiers behind him and said, "Look carefully to see if there is any cave entrance nearby."
