Chapter 198 Processing

What if the fourth brother cannot be rescued and the fifth brother is punished, and only the prince is left? The emperor has a premonition that once the Murong family's kingdom falls into the hands of the prince, it will be destroyed soon.

He himself was not a good emperor, but the Murong family's empire could not collapse, so he asked the prince to investigate it himself. It would be difficult for him to find out the truth as soon as possible with his ability.

It’s not too late to make a decision after the news from the fourth brother comes back.

The Minister of Justice took the memorial and was so frightened after seeing its contents that he almost threw it away.

He looked at the prince and thought that the prince was not too stupid and knew to report the matter directly. If he concealed the matter, the prince would definitely be brought down by it.

The beneficiary must be Prince Yi.

The Minister of Justice instantly understood the emperor's intention and immediately accepted the order.

A scheme that should have seriously injured the prince ended so lightly, which made Murong Yi feel a little regretful. He left the court with a gloomy face, and after making eye contact with the prince, he hurried back to the mansion.

After returning to Prince Yi's Mansion, Murong Yi smashed all the precious items on the ground to vent his frustration. He thought that the emperor would severely punish the prince. He didn't know what was wrong with the emperor. With his personality, the prince would definitely be sent to hell today. However, the emperor just downplayed it and let him investigate the matter thoroughly.

Fortunately, he handled this matter perfectly, and the Crown Prince could not find the cause no matter how hard he tried.

But what Murong Yi couldn't understand was that the emperor had changed his usual behavior. Something must have happened that he didn't know about, which made the emperor dare not punish him and the prince easily.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess who did it. The emperor just handled the matter lightly.

This is not in line with the emperor's usual style. The emperor is afraid that if he and the prince are punished, the Murong family will have no successor?

Murong Yi thought of something, and he immediately summoned the secret guards and asked them to find out the whole story. He wanted to know what happened and why. It couldn't be so unclear, otherwise how could he continue with the future.

After the prince had a false alarm, he went to the Ministry of Justice with the Minister of Justice and began a thorough investigation. However, after investigating for a while, they still could not find out who issued the notice in the name of the prince.

This matter was so obvious, but the person behind it could not be found. The prince had no choice but to take immediate remedial measures to eliminate the people's resentment towards him.

He sent people to withdraw the notice, released all the captured beasts back to the mountains, and provided compensation to the dead people, and only then did the situation calm down.

The common people received generous pensions, so naturally they would not cause trouble.

The prince spent a lot of money this time and gave a pension of one hundred taels of silver to each deceased citizen. One hundred taels of pension was a considerable fortune for ordinary people. Even if those people were alive, they could not create such great value.

So the people did not blame the prince for his cruelty and tyranny. Instead, they praised him and praised him for loving the people.

Later, they learned that the incident was not caused by the prince, and that he was also a victim. Everyone felt more sympathetic towards the prince and more angry at the mastermind behind the incident. They hoped that the prince would find the mastermind as soon as possible, cut him into pieces, and give justice to the dead people.

Murong Yi never thought that he had made a mess of things. Not only did he fail to overthrow the prince, but he earned himself a good reputation. This made him very angry, so he could only secretly think of another way to deal with the prince.

In fact, he didn't know that it was Jun Wushuang who came up with the idea for him to gain a good reputation. Since this love was for the prince's reputation, he would use the trick to gain back the prince's good reputation.

The lives of the common people are worthless. As long as you give them enough money, there is no need to worry about not being able to shut their mouths.

Sure enough, when the money arrived, the complaints from all over the place stopped abruptly. There was also an unexpected gain, which made Murong Yi disgusted. Jun Wushuang felt really relaxed both physically and mentally, and was even more favored by the prince.

Even the emperor looked up to the prince. He didn't expect that this somewhat stupid prince could come up with this trick to calm down the storm.

After all, the prince was his own son, which made him feel sympathetic. If the prince could improve himself and use his brain more when encountering problems, the consequences of the Murong family's rule would not be so bad if it was handed over to him in the future.

Thinking of this, the emperor called Jun Taifu to the imperial study and had a long talk with him, asking him to strongly support and teach the prince.

Naturally, Jun Taifu was willing to do so. He was originally the emperor's teacher, and now he was asked to teach the prince. Of course, he was happy to do so. When the prince succeeded to the throne, he would be the emperor's teacher of two dynasties. Such an honor was what everyone dreamed of.

Su Yue didn't know what happened next. She left the space after she had a good sleep in it. But when she came out, she found herself in a thick fog and couldn't see her hand in front of her.

When she released her mental power, it unexpectedly could not penetrate the thick fog.

Su Yue took a deep breath, took out a long sword from the space, held it, and headed towards the place where An Yi and the others were resting according to the direction she remembered.

However, after An Yi and his companions had rested enough, they woke up to find themselves shrouded in a fog so thick that they could not see their hands out. They were suddenly panicked.

Because Su Yue was not among them.

Fortunately, the place where they were resting was not far away. They used their internal strength to push back the fog so that they could find each other and then gather together.

"Hongying, do you know which direction the lady went?" An Yi asked Hongying anxiously. He was so anxious that he pulled his hair and his scalp was almost pulled off.

If Su Yue got lost or something happened to her, they didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Hongying shook her head in annoyance. The fog was so thick that everyone had lost their sense of direction. How could they remember which direction Su Yue was going?

Hongying was so anxious that she almost cried. Why didn't she follow Su Yue at that time? Now she was in a dilemma. How could she find someone?

As the leader, An Yi couldn't panic. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and comforted everyone, "Don't worry, Madam is not an ordinary woman. She shouldn't be in danger. Now let's stay together and search in different directions."

The thick fog here was very strange, and they were not familiar with the terrain here, so they could not search separately. Once they separated, they could not predict what accidents might happen, and it would be even more difficult to reunite.

If we find Su Yue, we can leave immediately, otherwise we will have to look for the scattered people.

Hongying nodded with red eyes. There was no better way now, so everyone mobilized their internal energy and headed in one direction.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they moved, they heard rustling sounds coming from the woods.

Although they couldn't see far, it didn't affect their hearing. They were martial artists and had hearing abilities superior to ordinary people, so they could hear the sound clearly.
