They returned to the capital city with a lot of fun and laughter along the way.

Outside the carriage, the secret guard at the corner of the wall, who had been listening for ten days, looked sad, not knowing whether he should remind the prince that they had arrived.

I can't just go to another place and not consider the feelings of these lonely people.

"Ahem..." After waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of the carriage coming down. The secret guard said with a stiff upper lip, "Your Majesty, Princess, we're here."

"Ah..." Chen Jingxi's face turned red and she quickly pushed Chu Jinghuai away.

She didn't even notice that the carriage had stopped. How embarrassing!

Chen Jingxi blushed, pinched Chu Jinghuai, and said coquettishly, "It's all your fault."

Chu Jinghuai smiled, gently rubbed Chen Jingxi's hair, and said softly: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. It was me who made the princess so intoxicated."

After saying that, he got off the carriage first, turned around and glared at the secret guard, "Get out!"

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die." The secret guards were so scared that they quickly scattered and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Then he turned around and extended his hand to Chen Jingxi, "Okay, come down, everyone has left."

Chen Jingxi bit her lip and walked out. "If you call everyone away, won't it be easier for them to think the wrong thing?"

"What do they dare to think?" Chu Jinghuai answered confidently.

Chen Jingxi was so angry that he had an urge to bite someone.

He pushed Chu Jinghuai away and walked ahead on his own.

Chu Jinghuai followed, the corners of his lips rising uncontrollably, his smile very charming.

When everyone in the palace saw the prince and princess return, they all bowed and greeted them.

Chen Jingxi responded to everyone's greetings with a smile, feeling extremely happy in her heart. It felt so good to be back alive.

As soon as they arrived, the emperor's edict came.

"I'll accompany you into the palace." Chen Jingxi said, holding his hand.

Chu Jinghuai shook his head and said softly, "No need. You wait here. I'll be back soon. I have my own plans for dealing with the situation in the palace."

After saying this, he withdrew his hand and said with a cold face: "Help the princess go back and serve her well." Then he left.

Chen Jingxi stood there and watched Chu Jinghuaiyuan walk away without moving. In this situation, the emperor didn't know how to deal with him?

Chunmei stepped forward and asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine, let's go."

After walking for a while, he returned to his own courtyard. Looking at the familiar courtyard, Chen Jingxi sighed inaudibly.

After returning to the capital, she became the Princess Su. She had to cheer up and deal with the many people and things in the capital.

Han Yu knelt before her and pleaded guilty, "Princess, I failed in my duty. Please punish me."

Chen Jingxi helped her up and said, "This is not your fault. They came prepared. Your presence will only cause more casualties."

"Thank you, Princess."

Chen Jingxi nodded, sat on the swing in the yard, and asked, "Is there anything fun happening in Beijing recently?"

Chunmei stepped forward. Although Chen Jingxi's question was general, she knew what Chen Jingxi wanted to hear.

"Princess, a lot has happened in the capital this month. Besides the prince's suppression of bandits, there's also something quite sensational."

Chen Jingxi asked with great interest, "What's the matter? Tell me about it."

"A few days ago, Prince Rong and his two princesses went to the temple to burn incense. On the way, they encountered an assassin. In the melee, Princess Tuoba blocked the knife for Prince Rong and nearly lost her life."

"Fortunately, Princess Tuoba was blessed with good fortune, and she escaped unharmed. When the Queen learned of this, she was furious and ordered the Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly. However, despite their repeated investigations, they were unable to uncover any clues."

Chen Jingxi frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously not believing that Tuoba Yan would sacrifice himself to save Chu Jingshuo.

"Where's Princess Rong?"

"Princess Rong was just a little frightened. I heard that the assassin was going for Prince Rong, and Princess Tuoba happened to be by his side, so she blocked the knife for him."

Chen Jingxi nodded. It was more likely that Chu Jingshuo used Tuoba Yan to block the knife.

In any case, Tuoba Yan had made great contributions in front of the Queen, but Lu Ruoyao was not an easy character to deal with either. It was just right for them to fight so that they wouldn't have to turn their attention to Prince Su's Mansion.

"Is there any news from Prince Jin?"

"Prince Jin?" Chunmei thought for a moment and said, "Prince Jin seems to have been ill for a long time."

Han Yu then took over and said, "Princess, there have been rumors these days that Prince Jin has gone out to seek medical treatment."

Chen Jingxi nodded. It seemed that Chu Jinghuai had done something.

In the palace.

The ministers present all had complicated expressions.

Chu Jinghuai didn't say much, he immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty, "I am guilty and I am willing to accept the punishment."

As soon as he knelt, many people followed suit.

One of them spoke up, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Su has made great contributions in suppressing bandits and providing disaster relief, and he has also found the culprit. I believe that His Royal Highness's merits outweigh his faults. If you punish His Royal Highness, it will inevitably dishearten the soldiers."

Those who were standing there couldn't help but sneer in their hearts when they heard him say that. What was he talking about being chilled or not? He was just using Chu Jinghuai's prestige in the hearts of the soldiers to put pressure on the emperor.

The emperor remained silent. Everyone knew that he would not order Chu Jinghuai's execution because of this incident, but since he had finally caught him wrong, he would not let him go so easily.

Lu Songwu looked at her for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Prince Su also loves his wife dearly, and I think you can forgive him."

Chu Jinghuai rescued his son, and he had to repay this favor. In the end, the emperor wanted to deal with him in this way, and it had nothing to do with him.

The emperor's eyes were deep and complex, as if filled with endless calculations and weighings. He slowly glanced at the kneeling crowd below, and finally fixed his gaze on Chu Jinghuai.
