Princess Consort Chu

She, the prime minister’s daughter, was timid and cowardly. Because her engagement fell through, and her reputation was ruined, she was pressured to spill her own blood in the palace hall! Once again ...

Chapter 199 (1)

"Really? Were the injuries to the madam and Ying'er really caused by General Hu Wei and the guards?" Yun Qianmeng asked back coldly!

Seeing Yun Qianmeng's determination and confidence, Prime Minister Wan's expression froze, then he sneered, "Does your princess have any doubts?"

Seeing that Prime Minister Wan's questioning expression was a little nervous, Yun Qianmeng smiled. The elegant and unworldly smile immediately diluted the tense atmosphere in the room, making everyone's eyes and attention focused on this smile. Suddenly, they forgot that there were more important things at the moment, and their consciousness was gradually drawn to Yun Qianmeng!

"Madam and Ying'er, please come here!" Yun Qianmeng did not get angry because of Prime Minister Wan's questioning. She remained absolutely calm the whole time. However, the sharp eyes hidden in her faint smile instantly swept over the madam and Ying'er beside her, and called on them to come forward!

Nan Yijun, who was standing aside, took in everyone's expressions. Prime Minister Wan's nervousness, Lu Xin's arrogance, Chu Feiyang's calmness, and Yun Qianmeng's confidence made him choose to remain silent at this time!

As long as Chu Feiyang doesn't interrupt, he naturally won't say much!

It would indeed be easier to resolve this matter if the Princess of Chu came forward than if the King of Chu did. Otherwise, it would involve negotiations between the two countries, which would not be a good thing for Nanxun! Especially at this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Princess of Chu looked confident, while Prime Minister Wan was already at a disadvantage!

Since he is a minister in this peace talk, it is naturally inconvenient for him to show up. It is better for him to watch from the sidelines like the King of Chu, and leave a way out for Nanxun!

After this analysis, although Nan Yijun felt a little angry in his heart, he finally held it back and did not explode on the spot. However, the teacup and the bowl lid in his hand touched each other crisply, as if all the emotions that could not be vented were intertwined in the touch of porcelain!

Chu Feiyang also noticed Nan Yijun's actions and sighed in his heart. After all, there are still smart people in Nanxun! But Nan Yijun is surrounded by people who are holding him back. I'm afraid Nan Yijun is tired now!

The cold and icy black eyes suddenly turned to Prime Minister Wan who was staring at the madam and Ying'er. Chu Feiyang snorted in his heart. He thought that such a crude trick could be hidden from Meng'er's eyes. No wonder Prime Minister Wan could not defeat Nan Yijun even after joining forces with Nan Lan and Nan Hongye for so many years!

"Princess!" When Yun Qianmeng called her name, the madam and Ying'er walked forward slowly and timidly, and stopped when they were ten feet away from Yun Qianmeng!

Yun Qianmeng saw them stop, but she did not force them to come any closer. After all, the smell of makeup on the two of them was really strong, and it was unpleasant to smell!

"I have asked Yingqiu to check on both of you just now! The madam was injured in the neck, and Ying'er had bruises on her wrist! The inspection was done in front of the Regent and Prime Minister Wan, so I believe there are no omissions!" Her sharp eyes glanced at the two people in front of her, then turned to Nan Yijun and Prime Minister Wan who were sitting beside her, as if asking for their opinions!

Hearing this, Nan Yijun's gaze on the teacup darkened, while Prime Minister Wan carefully examined Yun Qianmeng's expression. He felt that the Princess of Chu had already arranged everything beforehand, and was only waiting for him and Nan Yijun to nod before launching a pursuit and counterattack!

However, the injuries of the madam and Ying'er were real. Even if the Princess of Chu was extremely smart, I'm afraid she couldn't confuse right and wrong and arbitrarily overturn the ironclad evidence on the two of them!

"What do you mean, Princess? What do you mean by no omissions? If the people of Western Chu were injured, would you remain so indifferent?" His cunning eyes glanced at the madam and Ying'er, who immediately touched their wounds with painful expressions. Prime Minister Wan spoke with a hint of anger, "Or is it that a great country like Western Chu doesn't even have the courage to admit its mistakes? A general as fearsome as General Huwei doesn't even dare to admit what he did? It's truly unbelievable and makes people laugh and cry!"

'Pah!' Before Prime Minister Wan could finish his words, Lu Xin slammed the table in anger, pointed his right finger at Prime Minister Wan and shouted angrily, "This is too much! I didn't do it! It's true that the procuress's skirt was indeed cut by the blade of my sword, but I didn't hurt her at all. What right do you have to throw dirty water on me? As for Ying'er, I also asked my own guards, and they didn't hurt her either! I didn't expect the people of Nanxun to be so insidious and cunning, and then fabricated some false evidence to make me confess! Your Majesty, Princess, although I, Lu Xin, am vulgar, I am not a person who can't distinguish right from wrong. How could I do something that would embarrass the emperor at this time? Please, Your Majesty, Princess, please help Lu Xin!"

As he spoke, Lu Xin suddenly took a big step back, pretending to kneel down towards Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng...

Xi Lin flashed to Lu Xin's side in the blink of an eye, holding Lu Xin's arm with one hand, and forcefully supported his body as he was about to kneel. Chu Feiyang's voice slowly rang out amid the arguing, "General Hu Wei, what are you doing? Even if you've been wronged, you shouldn't be disrespectful in front of others! If the king and the princess hadn't had any doubts, why would you appear in the Changchun Tower? Why are you so excited? You're going to make a fool of yourself!"

A simple sentence made Prime Minister Wan's face change instantly. His previous arrogance gradually subsided, and his eyes could not help but wander around Chu Feiyang and Lu Xin. He didn't understand why these two people who usually didn't get along with each other would help one of them when the other got into trouble!

But Chu Feiyang's words contained a heavy warning to Lu Xin!

Even if Lu Xin was wrongly accused today, since Yun Qianmeng and I had appeared at Changchunlou, we would naturally find a way to clear his name! And his actions just now were clearly an attempt to coerce Yun Qianmeng and me! Relying on his status as a close confidant of Emperor Yugan to pressure Nan Yijun and the others was truly foolish! Even acting had to be done in moderation; overdoing it would only disgust people!

These words, coupled with Xi Lin's skills that even surprised Lu Xin himself, made Lu Xin's heart tremble. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back for no reason. He no longer dared to compete with Xi Lin secretly. He immediately stood up straight and whispered back, "Yes!"

Looking at Lu Xin like this, Yun Qianmeng's eyes flashed with sarcasm. Hearing the word "throwing dirty water" from Lu Xin's mouth really made her want to burst out laughing!

Lu Xin probably forgot that he had thrown a lot of dirty water on himself and Chu Feiyang along the way, and some of the dirty water even reached Kyoto and the hands of Emperor Yugan! If the two of them hadn't been careful and cautious to prevent it from happening, I'm afraid they would have been ruined by him long ago!

"Regent, since Prime Minister Wan has doubts in his heart, why not ask the coroner to examine these two again!" Yun Qianmeng retracted her gaze, hiding the sarcasm in her eyes, and spoke indifferently to Nan Yijun!

Compared to Prime Minister Wan who was always excited and nervous, Nan Yijun was too quiet today. It seemed that he had made up his mind to stay out of it. He just watched the farce and did not participate in the argument at all!

I'm afraid this is also where Prime Minister Wan loses to Nan Yijun. He disdains to commit fraud and disdains to participate in such a scandal! But for the benefit of the country, he has no choice but to appear here, because there is also a Chu Feiyang sitting here. In Nanxun Kingdom, apart from Emperor Feng Jing, he is the only one with the same status as Chu Feiyang!

Nan Yijun sneered, slowly placing the teacup on the table before speaking, "Since Miss Yingqiu has already examined the body, and the conclusions reached by her and the coroner's autopsy are the same, I naturally believe Miss Yingqiu's conclusion! Please continue, Princess!"

At this moment, Nan Yijun was rather curious about what other tricks the Princess of Chu had up her sleeve! After all, he had seen the sword wound on the madam's neck and Ying'er's bruised wrists clearly, and this was truly undeniable!

Seeing that Nan Yijun was fine, Yun Qianmeng nodded slightly. Then, without Lv Xin noticing, she quickly grabbed the sword he had placed on the table. With great momentum, she drew out the sword, carefully examining the blade and edge. Then, she asked calmly, "Madam, was your injury caused by this sword?"

It was unknown what the Princess of Chu's purpose was, but since things had come to this, the madam could only nod in agreement with Yun Qianmeng's words and said, "Princess, this old man's injury was indeed caused by General Hu Wei's sword! If you don't believe me, you can ask my eunuch. He was by my side the whole time, so he definitely wouldn't be wrong!"

However, the sentence she added at the end made Nan Yijun's expression suddenly cold, and Prime Minister Wan frowned tightly, secretly cursing this old man for being so confused! The Princess of Chu had clearly dug a trap for her to fall into, and yet she was still talking so much nonsense, not knowing that with the Princess of Chu's intelligence, even a single word could be interpreted in many other ways! Therefore, in front of the Princess of Chu, unless it was absolutely necessary, it was best to keep silent, lest she take advantage of him!

Yun Qianmeng saw that the madam was so sure, so he smiled and nodded, then handed the sword to Yingqiu and asked her to take it and walk towards the madam!

The madam had never seen such a scene before, not to mention that the Regent and Prime Minister Wan were present at the scene. If the Princess of Chu ordered the girl to kill her for General Hu Wei, the Regent would probably not say a word. Seeing Yingqiu getting closer and closer, the madam retreated step by step, her face became paler and paler, and her hands were tightly protecting her neck to prevent Yingqiu from taking advantage of her!

Little did she know, Yingqiu was only standing on the side where her neck was injured. She raised one hand and gently opened her clothes. She looked at the scar on her neck again, and her eyes fell on the sword in her hand again. After comparing them several times, she said with certainty, "Princess, the sword wound on the old procuress's neck was not caused by General Hu Wei's sword!"

"You are talking nonsense! So many people saw this sword against my neck, how could it not be the sword that hurt me? Girl, you can't humiliate the people of Nanxun just because you are from Western Chu!" When the madam saw Yingqiu come to such a conclusion, her heart suddenly jumped up, but she tried to refute it. Seeing that the regent was also sitting here, she couldn't help but get a little bolder, and she couldn't help but show the power that she usually used to deal with the girls in the singing house, and glared at Yingqiu with a vicious face!

Ying Qiu was not afraid of her ferocious expression. Her eyes were calm and composed, and she spoke to Yun Qianmeng again calmly, "Princess, I will never make a mistake! This old procuress's injuries were definitely not caused by this sword! According to my observation, her wounds are relatively small. They are not scars left by such a long and wide sword. They look more like injuries from a dagger!"

After she finished speaking, Yingqiu walked back to Yun Qianmeng's side, carefully turned the sword over, and handed it to Yun Qianmeng by the hilt. Then she stood behind Yun Qianmeng and stopped talking!

However, Yun Qianmeng did not immediately return the sword to Lu Xin. Instead, she held it in her hand and carefully examined the blade. Her slender fingers slowly slid along the blade. After a while, she raised her head and instantly shot a sharp gaze at the madam. She said coldly, "The sword worn by General Hu Wei was issued by the Western Chu Military Department! Such a sword, except for the generals of Western Chu, no one from the other three countries would ever possess it! Moreover, the words "Western Chu" are also engraved on this sword. Even if other countries wanted to imitate it, it would be impossible to be exactly the same! Just now, the madam herself said that it was indeed the sword that injured her, and there are also testimonies from the eunuchs! But this conclusion is completely opposite to this concubine's! Both sides have their reasons and evidence to argue with each other! In this case, Xi Lin, go to the kitchen of Changchunlou and find a piece of raw meat. Let's do an experiment. Wouldn't it be clear if we compare them?"

After she finished speaking, Yun Qianmeng no longer looked at the madam's increasingly pale face, but Xi Lin had already quickly slipped out of the room, not even giving Prime Minister Wan a chance to stop him!

In less than half a cup of tea, Shi Xilin came into the room carrying a piece of raw pork and placed it on the table. Yun Qianmeng personally took the long sword in his hand and left a mark on the flesh. The flesh was lightly scratched by the sword, and a very thick scar was immediately revealed. However, the scar on the madam's neck was extremely delicate, and it did not look like it was caused by the sword at all!

"Who do the Regent and Prime Minister Wan think is lying between the two?" After handing the heavy sword to Lu Xin, Yun Qianmeng wiped his hands with silk and asked calmly!

When Yun Qianmeng sent Xi Lin to find the meat, Nan Yijun knew that the Princess of Chu must be very sure of it. However, now that the truth was revealed, his face turned extremely ugly. This Changchunlou was already a filthy place, and now such a despicable thing had been done. Nan Yijun's anger intensified. He pursed his lips tightly, but under Yun Qianmeng's questioning, he slowly said, "The Princess is so meticulous that she can actually find the difference between the two!"

"My princess is indeed very meticulous! But doesn't the Regent think that the madam's tricks are too childish? Even if she wants to slander someone, she should at least do it more realistically! Otherwise, the injury on her neck would have been in vain." Chu Feiyang took over Nan Yijun's words and spoke with a faint smile, but in his heart he was sighing at Yun Qianmeng's delicate thoughts!

Her previous words silenced Nan Yijun. This sword was indeed unique to Western Chu, and the four kingdoms were all very particular about their own weapons, each with its own unique characteristics! And for a general on the battlefield, a thin, thin sword was impractical. Only a broad, thick sword could withstand all attacks!

According to the madam, the wound on her neck was caused by the sword in General Hu Wei's hand, but the fact proved that the wound was far from the width of the sword blade. It was obvious at a glance that the madam was lying!

At this moment, after watching Yun Qianmeng's experiment, Lu Xin stared at her back in surprise and was speechless for a long time!

Although he knew that the Princess of Chu always had the ability to turn the tide, this time he encountered something that he couldn't explain even if he shouted at the top of his lungs. She actually explained everything with just a small experiment, which made Lu Xin feel a little respect for the Princess of Chu for the first time. The domineering aura in his body gradually subsided, and he didn't dare to show it in front of the King of Chu and his wife!

"Something must have been done to this meat!" The madam saw that her lie was exposed, but she had no choice but to continue lying in order to save her life. Her finger, painted with bright red nail polish, pointed directly at the raw meat on the table, trying her best to make everyone listen to her!

"This meat was taken from the kitchen of Changchunlou. Does the madam think that after something like this happens, the people of Nanxun will help us and deal with our own people?" Yun Qianmeng retorted mercilessly!

"This is a bold and unruly woman who deceives the prince and princess with lies. Come, take her away, lock her up, and torture her severely to find out her conspiracy!" Prime Minister Wan said angrily at this time. He waved his hand, and the guards who were standing outside the room immediately walked in. Without waiting for the madam to appeal, they dragged the person away!

Seeing that Prime Minister Wan wanted to settle the matter peacefully, Lu Xin frowned suddenly, but he saw that neither the King of Chu nor the Princess of Chu spoke. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not act rashly and could only wait for what would happen next!

Nan Yijun's face also turned a little cold. Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng didn't ask about it at this time, probably because of what would happen later!

The one who was most worried and frightened at this moment was Ying'er, who was standing alone in the middle of the room!

How could she have imagined that even someone as cunning as the madam could not defeat the Princess of Chu, and that Prime Minister Wan ruthlessly wiped out the entire clan after the failure of the plot. If she was also exposed, would she end up with the same fate as the madam?

Thinking of this, Ying'er couldn't help but tremble. She didn't dare to look directly into the clear eyes of the Princess of Chu. She lowered her head tightly and subconsciously hid her hands in her sleeves, not wanting people to see her injured wrist!

"Ying'er, was the wound on your wrist really caused by the guards?" Yun Qianmeng took a leisurely sip of hot tea before asking Ying'er, who was already showing fear. Her tone was a little gentler than when she faced the madam, but the sharpness mixed in it made it impossible to ignore!

"Yes!" A low voice came out from Ying'er's mouth. The extremely unconfident expression immediately made people suspicious!

"In that case, then show us your wrist and let everyone see what's going on!" Putting down the teacup, Yun Qianmeng spoke lightly, but her eyes were fixed on Ying'er's wrist that had been hidden with her sleeve!

"Princess, Ying'er hasn't even married yet, how can you show your wrists in front of everyone?" Perhaps because she was afraid, Ying'er actually said such a mocking thing! With a pair of delicate hands that have been pillowed by thousands of people, what else could she be afraid of?

For a moment, most of the men in the room laughed sarcastically!

Yun Qianmeng didn't force it. Even if she was a prostitute, there was nothing shameful about earning money through her own labor! This was much better than those dandy boys who lived off their wealth and relied on their ancestors' blessings!

"Yingqiu has just checked for you, but the five finger marks left on your wrist show that the person's palm is not big! I just want to compare the guard's hand with the handprint to see if what you said is true!" Yun Qianmeng did not force her to show her wrist, but just stated the fact softly!

Upon hearing Yun Qianmeng's words, Lu Xin immediately glanced at his guard. He immediately stepped forward and held out his hands to the crowd. His palms were broad and thickly calloused, revealing the strength of someone who wields swords year after year! Everyone had also seen that Xi Chu's sword was extremely large and heavy, and someone with smaller hands wouldn't be able to grasp it at all!

When he looked at the guard's hands, he remembered what Princess Chu had just said, and became very curious about the scar on Ying'er's wrist!

Ying'er instantly felt that everyone's eyes were focused on her. A thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. She covered her hands tightly in her sleeves and refused to show them to anyone. Such behavior undoubtedly showed that she was guilty and proved the innocence of the guard!

"Prime Minister Wan, this Ying'er is slandering our Western Chu soldiers just like the brothel owner. Shouldn't she also be locked up?" Yun Qianmeng suddenly spoke up, looking at Prime Minister Wan with a hint of contempt in her casualness, and a solemn look gradually gathered on her calm face!

How could Prime Minister Wan have expected that even with all his preparations, he would be able to be defeated one by one by the Princess of Chu? He was so upset that he waved his hand at the guards and asked them to drag the man away!

However, even if Lu Xin and the guards didn't harm the madam and Ying'er, the death of Lord Lu was caused by these two. Looking at the red-eyed Lu family, Prime Minister Wan couldn't help but say, "The person who died this time was an official appointed by Nanxun. Shouldn't the princess and the prince also give Nanxun an explanation? Even if what happened just now proves that General Hu Wei and others are innocent, Lord Lu's death was indeed caused by this guard! When human life is at stake, the murderer must not be allowed to go unpunished!"

Seeing Prime Minister Wan's expression of not wanting to let the murderer off lightly, the guard suddenly interrupted, "Your Highness, Your Highness, when I saw Lord Lu blocking the road, I just wanted to push him away, but he tumbled down the stairs instead. This unintentional mistake cost him his life. This incident has nothing to do with the General! When I went to fetch Miss Ying'er, the General reminded me not to kill anyone! How could I do such a thing when I knew it was impossible? Please understand, Your Highness, Your Highness!"

The guard was extremely impressed by the way Yun Qianmeng dealt with the madam and Ying'er just now, but Lord Lu was dead after all, and his death was much more serious than those skin injuries. The guard tried his best to distance himself from Lu Xin, and at the same time, he tried his best to gain a powerful situation for himself, hoping that the resourceful Princess Chu could save his life!

"Hmph! The dead cannot be resurrected, and at that time, only you and General Huwei were in the room. How could others hear what you two said? As for what you just said about General Huwei's advice, I don't know whether he actually said it! What's more, you are General Huwei's bodyguard. Isn't your fault General Huwei's fault? If he hadn't been lax in military discipline in the past, how could today's tragedy have happened? Can you erase the charge of killing Lord Lu just by saying it was an "unintentional mistake"? Or do I need to summon the madam and Ying'er to appear in court to testify?" Prime Minister Wan was aggressive, but the series of rhetorical questions were also a headache! If it wasn't just an injury, it would be fine, but a murder happened. It's really annoying!

"After the perjury just now, Prime Minister Wan, do you think the confessions of the madam and Ying'er are still credible?" Unexpectedly, Chu Feiyang, who had not spoken for a long time, slowly spoke at this moment! His face was calm, not showing any signs of headache at Prime Minister Wan's question, nor did he show any anxiety at the accidental murder of the Western Chu guard. His calm and elegant demeanor made him appear extremely calm, but it gradually threw his opponent off balance!

Prime Minister Wan was speechless for a moment, and then he understood. No wonder the Princess of Chu solved the issue of the madam and Ying'er's injuries first. It turned out that she had long expected that the death of Lord Lu would be very unfavorable to Lu Xin, so she brought down the two witnesses from the beginning, hoping to gradually reduce the matter of the death!

"Madam Lu, you have already put on mourning clothes in such a short time. I believe you are very clear about Lord Lu's condition! That's why you have already prepared all the funeral items in case of any emergency, right?" Yun Qianmeng ignored Prime Minister Wan's question and asked Madam Lu beside her!

Asked by the Princess of Chu, and because Yingqiu and the coroner had previously testified that her master was suffering from a serious heart palpitation, Madam Lu could only bite the bullet and nod her head, whispering "Yes!"

"In this Changchunlou, only General Huwei and his guards are from Western Chu! And it is not difficult to see that the frame-up by the madam and Ying'er just now was a conspiracy designed by others, with the purpose of framing General Huwei! The reason why they chose Lord Lu is probably because he has a hidden illness and is extremely likely to die, making it even easier to frame General Huwei! Otherwise, how could Prime Minister Wan and the Regent rush to the post station to question him in such a short time? Even if the madam and Ying'er were not there to testify, the people who witnessed this scene were all the people of Nanxun. Such a one-sided situation... How can I and the prince believe the testimony of General Hu Wei? And how can we truly prove that it was General Hu Wei's men who killed Lord Lu? I would like to ask Prime Minister Wan for advice. Since you have asked the prince and I to give Nan Xun an explanation, but the evidence of this matter does not exclude the testimony of the third-party witness from Nan Xun and Xi Chu, it is really hard to be convincing. If you make such a judgment, isn't Prime Minister Wan afraid of wrongfully accusing General Hu Wei? "Little did I know that Yun Qianmeng would say such a sentence. The intention of defending was obvious. The words of turning defense into offense left Prime Minister Wan speechless!

How could he have expected that Yun Qianmengran would take the initiative and even mention something like "third-country witnesses and testimony"?

For a moment, Prime Minister Wan showed a puzzled look on his face. He didn't know where the Princess of Chu heard such a new word from, which made him confused for a moment!

However, Chu Feiyang was drinking the tea in his hand with a leisurely expression. He knew without thinking that Meng'er must have adapted her words from that time and space to deal with Prime Minister Wan!

However, this is the only feasible method at this time!

After all, no matter whether Lord Lu really had a hidden illness or how serious his illness was, he was a healthy person who was pushed downstairs and died after encountering Lu Xin's guards. This is an unchangeable fact and a mistake that the guards cannot shirk!

But Meng'er used this trick in a very pleasing way!

At that time, there were indeed only two Western Chu people in Changchunlou: Lu Xin and the guard! Now that Nanxun was facing a life-or-death situation, some people naturally did not want Nanxun to become a vassal state of Western Chu, nor did they want to see a war between Nanxun and Western Chu. So they came up with this method to make Western Chu feel guilty and abandon their previous plan!

However, they overlooked the fact that there was a female police officer in the team coming to Nanxun this time. Even if the methods here didn't work, Meng'er would naturally use the case-handling methods of that time and space!

Accusing the guards of murder when all the witnesses were from Nanxun was naturally biased and unfair, making the incident strange and bizarre, and appearing to be a deliberate frame-up by someone with ulterior motives!

"Your Highness is absolutely right! However, the guard just now also admitted that he accidentally pushed Lord Lu into the stairs! This guard is General Hu Wei's man. He has already pleaded guilty, so there must not be any big problem!" At this time, Nan Yijun suddenly spoke up, pointing out what the guard had just said to suppress Yun Qianmeng's question!

"But the Regent cannot deny the feasibility of what I just said, right?" Unafraid of Nan Yijun's powerful counterattack, Yun Qianmeng remained calm and responded calmly, while behind her sat the steady Chu Feiyang, demonstrating her strong support!

"How does the princess wish to resolve this?" At this point, Prime Minister Wan had no room to speak. Everyone in the room was watching the confrontation between Nan Yijun and Yun Qianmeng, and the two seemed unwilling to waste too much energy and time on such a matter. The quick and decisive conversation made Prime Minister Wan frown, and also made Lu Xin purse his lips!

Yun Qianmeng turned her head slightly to look at Chu Feiyang. The two of them exchanged calm glances, but they already understood each other's thoughts. Yun Qianmeng sat down again and smiled lightly, "I'm sure the Regent knows who is the mastermind behind this incident! And this guard did indeed accidentally cause Lord Lu's death! Since both parties are at fault, this concubine and the prince naturally hope to settle the matter peacefully and make a big deal out of a small matter. I wonder what the Regent thinks?"

"Your Highness, this is a matter of life and death!" Before Nan Yijun could speak, Prime Minister Wan nervously reminded him! If Nan Yijun agreed to the Princess of Chu this time, wouldn't everything he had done before be in vain?

Nan Yijun glanced at Prime Minister Wan coldly and ignored him for the first time. His attention was always on the King of Chu and his wife!

Since there is the guarantee from Princess Chu, and Chu Feiyang has not spoken out in opposition, then this matter may be resolved peacefully. Looking at Chu Feiyang's calm but serious expression, Nan Yijun could not help but nodded, "In that case, let's do as the princess says!"

Nan Yijun stood up, glanced at the Lu family standing beside him, then looked at Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng again, and said with a faint smile, "I didn't expect to trouble the prince and princess with this matter today. It's really our fault for delaying your rest time!"

"No way! If this guard wasn't ignorant, why would he bother the Regent? In that case, I will return to the inn!" At this time, Chu Feiyang helped Yun Qianmeng stand up and said goodbye to Nan Yijun with a relaxed expression. He also glanced at the silent Lu Xin and said lightly, "General Hu Wei, let's leave as well! Let's avoid any more mistakes!"

But this time, Lu Xin nodded silently, then led his guards and followed Chu Feiyang out of the room!

As soon as they stepped out of the wing room, everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Xin. However, the aura of the King of Chu was too intimidating, and the people of Nanxun who originally wanted to use their large numbers to embarrass them also shut up!

In addition, with Nan Yijun's guards leading the way, the few of them left the fragrant Changchunlou without any hindrance!

"Are you tired?" Looking at the starry sky outside, and seeing that although the rain had stopped, the humidity was extremely heavy, Chu Feiyang couldn't help but hug Yun Qianmeng instead, and slowly walked with her to where the carriage was parked!

However, Yun Qianmeng was in a very good mood as she followed Chu Feiyang's deliberately slowed pace as they walked out, away from the Changchun Tower. The air at this time was becoming more and more fresh. After being washed by the rain, it even had a hint of grass scent, which made people feel relaxed. With a faint smile, Yun Qianmeng slowly shook her head, then looked up at the sky after being washed by the rain. She felt that the night sky was clearer and the stars were more dazzling, which made people feel brighter!

"Your humble servant thanks His Majesty and Princess!"

"I thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life!"

At this time, Lu Xin and the guard who were following behind spoke at the same time. They bowed towards the backs of Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng, appearing to be particularly sincere!

Upon hearing this, Chu Feiyang and Yun Qianmeng slowly turned around. Seeing that the two were still bowing, Chu Feiyang spoke calmly, "Since you are soldiers of Western Chu, you should understand that this is Nanxun, full of traps, and you should be more careful about your behavior! But this time, you almost got caught. Whether it was intentional or not, you almost made a big mistake! The king and the princess saved you only because you are generals of Western Chu. We don't want Western Chu to bear the reputation of being scolded because of what you did! This action is not intended to make you feel grateful! I just hope that you will remember this lesson and don't be so reckless in the future!"

After he finished speaking, Chu Feiyang hugged Yun Qianmeng and got into the carriage!

Yun Qianmeng saw it clearly, and Lu Xin's thanks this time were sincere!

However, people with different ideals cannot work together. Lu Xin has always been loyal to Emperor Yugan. If Emperor Yugan had not suppressed Chu Feiyang repeatedly, there would be no conflicts between the two!

However, Emperor Yugan was extremely suspicious, and even doubted Chu Nanshan and Chu Feiyang. It was no wonder that the two of them were drifting further and further apart!

Even if Lu Xin was touched by their life-saving grace this time, if they stood on their respective political positions in the future, he would still be hostile to Chu Feiyang!

It is better to treat it calmly so as not to add to each other's sadness in the future!

In the Changchun Tower, everyone looked at each other as they watched Chu Feiyang and the others leave. They didn't know what had happened and why the Regent and Prime Minister Wan let General Huwei of Western Chu go so easily. For a moment, whispers were heard!

Nan Yijun waved his hand and had the guards take the Lu family away. He then ordered the door of the wing room to be closed. He glanced at Prime Minister Wan with a cold look and said sarcastically, "I can't believe that Prime Minister Wan has lived for so many years and at such an age, he would actually do such a childish trick! He really brings shame to Nan Xun!"

Prime Minister Wan, however, was not in the least bit afraid of Nan Yijun. Now that they were the only two left in the room, he no longer needed to pretend. He dropped his calm expression, replacing it with a gloomy one. He turned his malicious gaze towards Nan Yijun and sneered, "I'm actually helping the Regent! The Regent isn't grateful, yet he's blaming me! If the Regent hadn't been unable to capture the King of Chu in one fell swoop, how could Nan Xun have been put in such a dilemma?"

"It's your Wan family who's put Nan Xun in such a dilemma!" Unexpectedly, Nan Yijun calmed down at this moment and sat back down at the table. He picked up the teacup he had just used and took a sip slowly as Prime Minister Wan's face changed suddenly. Then he spoke again, "Don't think that I don't know what you and Nan Lan and Nan Hongye have done! I just didn't expect you to go even further and do such a shameful thing. How will the people view our royal family? How can the people trust the court? Even if you want to frame me, your methods are too despicable. Don't you think about who the Princess Chu is? Haven't these several confrontations taught you to be smart? I'm so tired of following behind to clean up your mess. If Lord Lu hadn't really died, Lu Xin would have massacred Nancheng today!"

These words made Prime Minister Wan's expression even uglier. The sinister look in his eyes could no longer be concealed, and he shot it at Nan Yijun without reservation. "So, how does the Regent intend to deal with me? And what evidence do you have to prove that I was responsible for this?"

"Hmph!" Nan Yijun put down the teacup heavily, half-closed his eyes, and spoke slowly, "I'm afraid the madam and Ying'er have been silenced. You acted so decisively, and completely eliminated all the hidden dangers! However, don't forget that I am the regent of Nanxun, and you didn't enter the official career through the imperial examination. You only ascended to the position of prime minister because your eldest sister became the queen. You have made no contribution to the country over the years. Naturally, I have the right to strip you of your position as prime minister!"

"Nan Yijun, how dare you!" Seeing Nan Yijun's extremely cold and serious demeanor, Prime Minister Wan became anxious and immediately stood up from his seat, glaring at the man in front of him who was still fiddling with the teacup.
