Chapter 519 Selling for a Good Price

After Prince Yu left the imperial study, Xiao Jin assigned more people to look after the palace. Prince Yu was not allowed to leave Chu before the things were delivered by the Southern Kingdom.

The compensation for surrender from the Southern Kingdom was not delivered, and the people who came to negotiate peace ran away. This was a slap in the face of the Chu Kingdom. As the victorious country, Xiao Jin would never allow such a thing to happen.

…

Winter comes earlier in the capital than in Tiankui City.

Su Ying and her friends’ winter clothes had just been delivered when the temperature dropped that night.

During this period, Su Ying went to the academy several times to check on the situation there. The academy was well managed by Zhou Xiangrong. Every time she went back, the students were in class. Seeing how hard they worked, Su Ying left with satisfaction.

When winter comes, things from the south are also delivered to the capital.

When the things were carried into the palace, all the civil and military officials were there. They felt extremely relieved when they saw the envoys from the Southern Kingdom standing in the center of the hall.

Doesn’t the Southern Country think it’s very powerful? Now it has to honestly send its things over and ask for peace.

That night, Xiao Jin hosted a banquet to entertain all the Yu kings.

Prince Yu took the opportunity to say goodbye to Xiao Jin and test Xiao Jin.

This time, Xiao Jin did not stop him, but directly toasted him with a farewell glass of wine, which meant that he agreed to let him leave the capital.

Happiness came so quickly that Prince Yu almost couldn't come back to his senses. He almost thought he had heard it wrong.

After the banquet, Prince Yu immediately asked people to pack their luggage and leave early the next morning. He didn't want to stay here any longer.

However, before leaving, Prince Yu still asked Xiao Jin to let him go to the palace prison to say goodbye to Princess Pingling.

During this period, Princess Pingling had been imprisoned in the palace prison. Xiao Jin had her closely guarded and no one was allowed to visit her.

Although she was in prison, Xiao Jin did not let anyone treat her harshly. After all, she was going to marry Xiao Li.

"Brother, why did you come just now!" A few months had almost completely worn out Princess Pingling's will. With red eyes, she grasped Prince Yu's hand as if she was grasping the last straw.

Prince Yu saw how thin she was, her face looked hideous and ugly, but he couldn't protect himself, so he couldn't take her away.

"I will be leaving the capital tomorrow. Be careful when you marry into the Third Prince's mansion."

Princess Pingling got anxious when she heard that he was not here to save her, "You're going to leave me alone?"

Prince Yu said with a tense face, "I have also been trapped in the palace for several months. If I don't leave as soon as possible, I will die here, and no one will come to save you! After all, you are married to the third prince, and they dare not do anything to you openly. You should be smart and wait for your father to find a way to save you."

Princess Pingling was not a simple girl who would believe whatever he said. She knew that she had been abandoned and they would not care about her life or death anymore.

"You can't just leave like this, you have to leave something for me."

Prince Yu felt sorry for her when he saw how thin she looked, and he took out a lot of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into her hands.

Princess Pingling grabbed his hand and said in a low voice, "I want the spy's contact information, too."

Prince Yu frowned. The spy's contact point was very secret and could not be easily known to others.

Princess Pingling held Prince Yu's hand tightly, as if she would not let him leave unless he spoke.

Prince Yu thought that she was not stupid and might be of some use if he kept her, so he quietly told her how to contact her.

"You be careful. If you can keep your footing, some things are possible." Although the possibility of overthrowing Xiao Jin's regime and allowing the third prince to take the throne is very small, what if it happens!

Princess Pingling did not respond.

The next morning, Prince Yu left the city without even saying goodbye to Xiao Jin in person.

As soon as King Yu left, Su Ying followed him out of the city. So much time had passed, and she had studied those charred corpses thoroughly and extracted all the data that could be extracted. These corpses were no longer of much use.

After spending so much time, Su Ying thought she should find a place to bury it.

In order to avoid unclear explanations, she went out of the city to get the job done in person.

After burying the body, Su Ying wiped her hands, patted her butt, and went down the mountain.

Zhou Qing looked at the dirt on Su Ying's body curiously, not understanding what the queen was doing going up the mountain alone.

"It's almost noon, let's go back to the city first."

"Yes, Madam, do you want to go back to the palace directly?"

"Well, let's go back."

Su Ying got on the carriage and returned to the city. It was almost noon and she was a little hungry, so she decided to go to the restaurant in the city where she had been twice before to have lunch before returning.

Su Ying arrived at the door of the hotel, and when she got off the carriage, another carriage passed by her.

Su Ying seemed to hear someone calling her vaguely. She turned around and looked at the carriage, but didn't see anything unusual. Maybe she had heard it wrong.

In the carriage that was speeding past, the moon withdrew its gaze with a look of loss.

She just saw the sister from before, but the sister seemed not to hear her calling her.

The moon was immersed in her own thoughts and did not notice the change in the expression of the person sitting in the carriage.

After she saw the moon sitting quietly again, the clenched fists in her sleeves gradually loosened.

"Mr. Fu Yu, is the place we are going to far from here?"

The assistant teacher is an auxiliary teacher in students’ life. Students can ask the assistant teacher for help if they have any problems in life.

Mr. Fu Yu smiled softly, "It's not far, we'll be there soon."

Yueliang had no doubts. She had been in the academy for quite some time, had learned a lot of words, and had listened to many stories about saints, which made her feel that reading was a wonderful thing.

Today, the assistant teacher said that the Queen wanted to see their learning results during this period, so she asked them to go out one by one to test them carefully. Today it was her turn.

Yueliang was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her throat, fearing that she had not learned the subject well and the Queen would be disappointed.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally stopped.

Mr. Fu Yu got off the carriage first, "Come on, we're here."

Yueliang got out of the car with a nervous mood. She quickly glanced around. This should be a backyard, and she didn't know where the queen was.

Mr. Fu Yu led Yueliang into the building. As soon as she entered, she smelled a strong scent of rouge perfume.

Yueliang was a little confused. Looking at the colorful lanterns hanging in the hall, she always felt that something was not right, but she trusted Mr. Fu Yu and did not think too much about it.

Mr. Fang, the assistant, took Yueliang to the last room and called in two girls who looked like maids and were about her age.

Mr. Fang completely stopped smiling at this moment, and said coldly, "Clean it up so that we can sell it for a good price tonight."

The moon's expression changed.
