Zhao Chenhan hesitated and said, "I am of low status, and the things I participate in are not important and have no value."

Zhou Shian said: "Then go and steal. Isn't Princess Yu your eldest sister? Go find her."

Zhao Chenhan whispered, "Prince Yu no longer allows me to enter Prince Yu's Mansion."

Zhou Shi'an pondered, "There's nothing we can do about Prince Yu. We can only focus on the Zhenbei Marquisate. Go and find out about Zhao Jingzhou's situation. There must be confidential matters in his study. Just pick one or two and tell the Crown Prince."

Zhao Chenhan was shocked and said, "My father's things are all military secrets. What if it affects him..."

Zhou Shian said coldly: "Father? Who is your father?"

"Zhao..."

Zhao Chenhan's voice suddenly stopped. He lowered his head and thought for a long time before he said in a hoarse voice, "You're right. He's not my father. If he were my father, he wouldn't let me be humiliated by Zhao Lin everywhere and remain indifferent. I'll go back tonight. It would be great if I could find the letter in which he and Prince Yu colluded."

Although it was a well-known fact that Zhao Jingzhou was a supporter of Prince Yu, he was, after all, a general leading troops outside the capital. Collusion between a prince and a general was something that no emperor could tolerate.

Once the letter is found, Emperor Chengping will be able to deal with Zhao Jingzhou.

Of course, whether or not it will be dealt with is another matter.

"There are no secrets in Shengjing Prefecture. Although the emperor has dealt with all the palace maids and eunuchs, the matter cannot be concealed. The fact that Prince Yu kicked you out is proof of this. When Han Yuehua asks you about it after you go back, how will you answer?" Zhou Shi'an asked.

Zhao Chenhan said: "Answer truthfully."

"Stupid!" Zhou Shi'an cursed, "How can you answer truthfully?"

Zhao Chenhan said: "Then how should I put it?"

Zhou Shian said, "Just say that Concubine Rong seduced you. As long as you obey her, she can open the palace gate to help you at the critical moment. She is preparing for the emperor's death, and you are also thinking about Prince Yu, but you want to make a big splash, so you didn't tell them. Do you understand?"

Zhao Chenhan suddenly realized and said happily, "Thank you for your advice, sir. I almost made a big mistake. But they may not believe it."

Zhou Shian said: "Whether they believe it or not, you can still be confident and just stick to it."

Zhao Chenhan went back happily.

Han Yuehua was sitting in the main hall. Just as Zhao Chenhan was about to go around, he heard Han Yuehua call him, "Come here."

Zhao Chenhan went over obediently: "Mom!"

Han Yuehua was furious: "What a good thing you did! How dare you?"

Zhao Chenhan knew that the matter was exposed, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Han Yuehua became even angrier: "Everyone, get out."

All the maids and servants go down.

Han Yuehua lowered her voice and gritted her teeth as she asked, "Tell me, why are you having an affair with Concubine Rong? If you want a woman, don't you have any maids in your courtyard?"

To put it bluntly, the maids in these young masters' courtyards are the women prepared for them by their elders.

When they reach a certain age, they will let these maids serve them in bed, so that these young men can have a taste of women and avoid being easily deceived by women outside.

Zhao Chenhan is seventeen years old. Logically, he should have been able to sleep with a woman, but he never took any action. Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion thought that he was upright and not tempted by women.

Who knew that his action would cause such a shocking incident that he actually hooked up with the emperor's woman.

Almost killed the entire marquis's mansion!

Han Yuehua doted on Zhao Chenhan so much, but she was angry at this moment.

"Mom, I know I was wrong." Zhao Chenhan said weakly.

Han Yuehua said angrily: "What's the point of knowing you're wrong now? She's the emperor's woman, why did you have an affair with her?"

Zhao Chenhan whispered, "There's no affair. I just want to help the mansion."

"What?" Han Yuehua was stunned.

Zhao Chenhan said: "She said that if I protect her in the future, she can open the palace gate to meet her at a critical moment. We were discussing business, not having an affair, what a pity..."

Zhao Chenhan didn't say anything else.

Han Yuehua frowned and asked, "Is that really the case?"

Zhao Chenhan sighed and said, "Mom, I'm not stupid. How could I not know the seriousness of the situation? But once Prince Yu launches a mutiny, if someone cooperates to open the palace gate, we can buy a lot of time. Maybe victory or defeat depends on that one gate."

Han Yuehua's expression softened: "You are thoughtful."

Zhao Chenhan said ashamedly, "Father, mother, and sisters are all working hard for the future of the Marquisate. How can I just sit there and do nothing? It's just that I'm incompetent. Not only did I fail, but I also brought trouble to the Marquisate. I don't know how the emperor will deal with my father."

"Humph, your father is the northern barrier. As long as he still wants this kingdom, he won't dare to do anything to your father."

Han Yuehua snorted coldly at first, then said in a gentle voice: "Mother misunderstood you. I didn't expect you to sacrifice so much for the Marquis' Mansion."

Zhao Chenhan said quickly, "I originally thought that hiding it for a year or two would be enough, but who knew it would be discovered so quickly? All my efforts were wasted."

"It was originally a plan. If it didn't work out, it wouldn't work out. But you've suffered." Han Yuehua's tone became more and more gentle.

Zhao Chenhan felt contempt in his heart.

How stupid! It's so easy to believe it.

Zhao Chenhan had a regretful expression on his face. "The Emperor probably feared my father, so he didn't kill me, but he did send me to be under my eldest brother's command. I, I suspect..."

"I know what you want to say. There's no doubt about it. It was definitely Zhao Lin who reported it. Otherwise, how could he be the governor of the river?" Han Yuehua said angrily, "This rebellious son is trying to kill our entire mansion. Your eldest sister still wants him to come back? If such a person comes back, all of us in the mansion, including the nine clans, will be killed. Ahem..."
