Chapter 71 I Won't Let Her Go

Fortunately, I thought this girl was a good person and someone who understood the big picture.

For a merchant to marry his son, even if it is not done openly, it is the blessing she earned in her previous life. She should know that she is marrying above her station. Not only does she not humble herself, but she is also so domineering.

This time.

We must teach her a lesson!

"Father."

The prince's cold voice came from the palace door. The six ministers hurriedly saluted. The prince, with a slender figure and a fierce look, slowly came to everyone.

With his brows slightly furrowed, he bowed to the emperor.

"Father, do you want to go to the tower and take a look?"

"I won't go." The emperor glared at the prince. "They're just a bunch of people making trouble. If we arrest a few of them and chop them up, they'll naturally disperse. Do you really want me to deal with such a small matter?"

The Crown Prince lowered his eyes slightly, but did not refute the Emperor's words. His father's path to the throne was not smooth, but the opportunity was excellent.

The Great Dynasty is neither strong nor weak at the moment, it can only be considered average. The emperor in front of him is neither strong nor ambitious, he is a typical hedonist.

But this is far from enough for the prince who is eager to expand his territory and create a peaceful and prosperous era.

He looked at Lord Yuan and Lord Wu.

"The people heard that Minister Yuan and Minister Wu were fair and honest, and had kind hearts, so they came to the two houses to seek help."

"What?"

His Highness's words sounded nice, but in fact they understood that the people must have come to their house to cause trouble. The two adults were so shocked that their faces changed drastically. They hurriedly saluted the emperor and retreated, then rushed out of the palace like an arrow.

The first negotiation collapsed with just a few words from the prince.

When the prince returned to Fengqi Palace, Chu Jiuning had just finished drinking the medicine. Although she had woken up, her face was frighteningly pale and her whole body was weak. She frowned in pain as if her bones were broken. Amber and Nanny Hong sat on the bed and gently massaged her body.

Sitting next to her, the prince looked at her like this.

"Is your body still in so much pain?"

"yes."

Chu Jiu huddled into the cushion dejectedly, not wanting to talk or move, but his consciousness was frighteningly clear.

"Perhaps the Emperor doesn't want to let me go?"

Such a superior does not fail to understand the hardships and needs of the people, but simply no longer cares. In his eyes, these are nothing but ants.

The prince was full of arrogance, and his eyes were gloomy.

"I won't let anything happen to you!"

He looked at Shen Liuguang, and Shen Liuguang stepped forward.

"The common people only smashed the gates of Minister Wu and Minister Yuan's houses. They behaved very well when they entered, and didn't harm anything. They just knelt inside the house and begged for food."

Chu Jiuning's eyes flashed slightly.

She thought that the people who smashed the gate must be arranged by the Prince's Mansion. No matter how brave the common people were, they would not be brave enough to smash the door of the Shangshu's mansion.

and.

They knelt down obediently, just begging for a mouthful of food, a piece of clothing, and a doctor. If the people are in trouble and don't ask the officials for help, then what are the officials doing?

Just saying.

It's quite intriguing that he didn't smash other people's doors, but chose to smash Lord Wu and Lord Gong's!

Urgent and urgent.

As the two ministers approached the door of their house, they were stopped by servants who rushed over and then quietly entered through the side door.

There were people kneeling in the front yard, inside and outside the gate in three layers, and the scene was so shocking that it almost made Lord Wu's head explode.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wu acted decisively.

He immediately set up a porridge stall and ordered people to bring flour, meat and other things. He cooked porridge on one side and set up a steamer on the other side to start making buns and steamed buns. Then he asked people to take out all the clothes stored in the mansion and distribute them to people in need, and asked the doctors in the mansion to treat everyone.

Looking at the smashed door, Lord Wu was so angry that his fists were clattering, and he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back.

When Mrs. Wu saw him come back, her legs became so weak that she could not stand at all. Fortunately, Minister Wu was quick to support her.

The elderly and young children were escorted into the inner courtyard, and their sons and daughters-in-law followed them out to take care of the matter.

Mrs. Wu's eyes were red and she spoke softly with trembling lips.

"Master, it's a good thing they only broke the door. If they had attacked people or stolen things, we might not have been able to see you again."

"Father, I've watched carefully. There were only a few dozen people at the beginning, but now, in just half an hour, there are already hundreds of people. These people cannot be beaten or scolded. They can only be fed and served. But father, this is not a long-term solution."

The eldest son, Wu Xiuzhu, stepped forward to speak, his face also pale.

"All of this was instigated by Chu Jiuning, and there are people in the palace who are cooperating with her. Father, you have to think it through."

These words were like a sharp arrow, which made Minister Wu's mind suddenly clear up.

Who is cooperating with Chu Jiuning?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Minister Wu said coldly while gritting his teeth.

"Lord Li is still in the palace. Has anyone from Shuntian Prefecture come to handle this matter? Have all the people from the Inspection Office and the Police Station come out? Have they gone to the Beijing Guard Station to ask for them? In short, we must find a way to protect our family and not let them escalate this. Also, as long as they don't hurt anyone else, we must not harm them."

"Father, you know that even if it costs your own life, your son will protect the people in the mansion."

Minister Wu patted his eldest son on the back, with a hint of relief in his eyes.

He finally understood that Chu Jiuning blamed him for not handling the affairs of the Song Mansion properly, and now she was targeting him and wanted to deal with him first.

otherwise.

What does this matter have to do with his Ministry of Justice?

"That's all."

Minister Wu looked at the overcast sky. It was about to rain heavily. If these people didn't leave, there would definitely be chaos.

"I will go to the palace and ask her in person."

Said.

Minister Wu turned around and spoke to the people.

"Everyone, please be patient. We will help you solve the food problem. It's about to rain heavily. Get your food and supplies and go back first. I will go and ask the emperor to bring Miss Chu out."

"Master Wu is a good official."

Some people shouted loudly, and then they all knelt down in front of Minister Wu and bowed down. Minister Wu looked at this scene and felt very uncomfortable.

So he rushed out of Wu Shangshu's residence as if his feet were greased, then rushed into the palace and headed straight for the East Palace.

The prince listened to him while drinking tea, and then asked someone to invite Chu Jiuning.

No surprise.

Chu Jiuning didn't want to see him at all.

Minister Wu was extremely anxious and worried. Then he saw Minister Yuan, who was also in trouble at home, running in breathlessly, followed by Lord Li who also looked anxious.

Immediately following.

Other ministers also came after hearing the news.

All six Shangshu gathered in the East Palace.

Minister Yuan wiped his sweat and said anxiously.

"Your Highness, Miss Chu can no longer stay in the palace. These common people not only need food and drink in my house, but also need shelter. Where can I find a place for them to stay?"

Minister Wu also said hurriedly.

"Your Highness, Miss Chu can also tell us what she wants. We will try our best to meet them, but we can't close the shop. The people are so anxious that they are about to jump."
