"With the Jingzhao Yin intervening and interrogating several people, our Rong Guogong will have to go through the same experience of being cheated on by his son again. He will definitely not be happy."
"Hurry up and take the Duke in. Leave the rest to me."
Lord Pan noticed that Duke Rong was unhappy, but he just thought that he was unhappy because he was late.
So after saying this, he didn't give Duke Rong any chance to speak, and ordered his men to take the troublemakers away, intending to behave himself.
In this way, even if Duke Rong wanted to file a complaint against him in front of the emperor, he would not be able to do so.
Duke Rong looked at the people being taken away by Lord Pan, his chest heaving with anger.
But the person had already been taken away, and he couldn't go and get him back.
"My Lord, it's a good thing the Jingzhao Yin arrived just in time. These people are truly daring."
Duke Rong glared at the person who had spoken. "You're just in time, huh?"
The servant looked at Duke Rong cautiously.
I thought to myself that he was not wrong, so why was the Duke still unhappy?
Returning to the main hall, Duke Rong sat on the chair, picked up the tea and was about to bring it to his mouth, but he paused.
Just now he just wanted to get rid of these people and let the scandal pass quickly, but now that he has calmed down, he finds that this matter is indeed a bit strange.
It has been almost a month since he was cheated on by his unfilial son. Why are these people doing this today?
And it is true that these people were frightened when they saw the Jingzhao Yin just now.
So is it really just as simple as the other party doing this just to get the money?
"Everything has been handed over to Lord Pan, so why is the Duke still frowning?"
The Duke's wife walked in from outside and sat next to Duke Rong.
"I've heard that Lord Pan was sloppy in his work, but he came quickly today."
"Yeah, it's just in time."
Duke Rong snorted coldly, "It seems that today's incident was caused by that rebellious son."
"Yuan Can?"
The Duke's wife was filled with surprise. "Could it be that he felt the Duke wasn't embarrassed enough that day, so he's doing this to embarrass you further now?"
Duke Rong: “…”
"It won't be that simple. We'll soon know what this rebellious son wants to do."
…
At this time, Yuan Can was afraid of being discovered by others, so he walked quickly towards a cloth shop with the brim of his hat pressed down.
"Boss, is the cloth you left for me still there?"
Yuan Can walked into the cloth shop and asked loudly.
The man who was calculating paused and raised his head. "Of course I have it. I'm a man of integrity. I won't break my promise to leave it to you."
He walked out from the counter, told others to entertain the customers in the store, and took Yuan Can upstairs.
The two went upstairs. The man opened the door and let Yuan Can in, then he followed in and closed the door.
"What brings Master Yuan here today?"
The man sat down casually and motioned Yuan Can to sit down as well.
Yuan Canluo sat down opposite him and raised his hand to take off the straw hat on his head.
"Does what you said before still count?"
The man poured him a cup of tea, his fleshy face showing a strong displeasure.
"I told you that Master Yuan is always welcome to join us. Did Master Yuan think I was joking?"
He knew that this person would come to find him sooner or later.
"No, I just want to confirm again, is there really someone from Tianqi around the princess?"
Yuan Can took the tea, but did not drink it immediately.
A few days after he was kicked out, the man found him and confessed his identity.
This man promised him that as long as he could reveal useful information about Tianqi to the princess and help her achieve great things, he would give him the official title he wanted.
Of course, he would not be stupid enough to believe these promises, but in order to be more convincing, the man showed him a portrait and said that the person was also from Tianqi.
At just one glance, he recognized that the man was the Prince Duan whom Tianqi had been trying so hard to find.
I'm afraid the emperor would never have dreamed that Prince Duan was hiding in Li Kingdom.
"Didn't I show you the portrait last time? What are you still doubting?"
The man stood up and took the portrait. "This man is very popular with the concubine. If you want to imitate him and win the concubine's favor, you can, although you will never be able to sit on the position of the legal husband."
Yuan Can: “…”
He doesn't want the damn position of legal husband.
So what if she is a princess?
"Hey, look."
After confirming that the person in the portrait was indeed Prince Duan, Yuan Can handed the portrait to the man and said firmly, "I can help the princess, but I can't stay in Tianqi."
He had refused before because he didn't want to take any risks, thinking that his father would take him back when his anger subsided. But so much time has passed, and his father has never even come to see him, let alone pick him up.
Since the other party has already done this much, he doesn't need to consider feelings anymore.
He couldn't stay in Tianqi any longer, and he was not interested in what the person in front of him promised.
Anyway, it has been confirmed that the person in the painting is Prince Duan. He just needs to help Prince Duan and wait for Prince Duan to come back. By then, he will be a great hero. Who would dare to mention treason?
Prince Duan was determined to go to the Kingdom of Li at the risk of his life. It is impossible that he did it just to become the princess's male favorite, so he must be sleeping on straw and eating bitter food.
The man put away the painting and glanced at Yuan Can.
"It's not enough for Mr. Yuan to just say he'll help me. I've shown my sincerity, so Mr. Yuan should also show some sincerity."
Yuan Can frowned slightly, "What is sincerity?"
"Of course, you have to convince the princess that you really intend to help him. If she doesn't believe you, Master Yuan, you won't be able to go to Li Country."
"You were the one who did what the Duke of Rong did today, right? What would your father do if he guessed it was you?"
Yuan Can knew in his heart that he had no bargaining chips, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Aren't you worried that I would tell the emperor that you are a secret agent of the Li Kingdom?"
"Worried?" The man looked at Yuan Can as if he were a fool. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent people to check on me, and the fact that I'm still here is proof that my identity is fine. So if you say I'm a secret agent, you need evidence."
To be honest, he really has to thank Feng Hongyu. He was worried before, but now that the prince has investigated, his heart is finally at ease.
"I just wanted to try if it's safe here," Yuan Can said, taking a sip of tea. "It seems like it's really safe. I feel relieved."
"Reassured, what about sincerity?"
The man didn't want to listen to his nonsense and continued asking.
"Tianqi has recently developed a magical puppet for training soldiers. If I could obtain this and present it to the princess, would that be considered a gesture of sincerity?"
Yuan Can thought about what he had heard and asked with a smile.
This thing had only been out for one day, but it had already spread throughout the streets and alleys, and it was said to be miraculous. He didn't believe that this thing couldn't make the people in front of him believe him.
"Well," the man picked up the tea and clinked it with Yuan Can. "Mr. Yuan is very brave. This thing is in the military camp. I'm waiting for good news from Mr. Yuan."
Yuan Can picked up the straw hat and put it on his head, "I will definitely not let the princess down."
He walked to the door and the man called him and handed him a folded note.
"This is for Master Yuan. Whether Duke Rong can escape this disaster depends on whether Master Yuan will show mercy."
