No way?!

Are they seeing things?

Is the person who got off the carriage really the prince?

Concubine Tong opened her mouth in astonishment, her jaw almost dropping to the ground: "Chen, Chen'er? Is it really you?"

"uncle?"

Ling Qianyi was also shocked. "Didn't you go to war? Aren't you in the Northern Frontier? What's going on? Even if you have wings, you can't fly back so quickly, right?"

Yun Ying’s clever mind worked.

Over the past few days, the princess went to bed early and ate well. Everyone thought she was in a state of shock, which was why she was acting so abnormal. It turned out that...

"Your Majesty, it turns out that you have been in the imperial capital all along!"

She pointed it out in one word.

Zong Zhengchen hugged Qin Ye's waist and raised his thin lips:

"King Jue will go to war on my behalf."

He stayed in the imperial capital and never left. He worked together with Qin Ye to bring King Li out.

"Wozhi!"

Ling Qianyi was very surprised. He punched the man on the shoulder and said,

"You are such a bad person! We were worried that my aunt would miss you too much and become ill, so we tried every way to comfort her and ease her mind, but you two teamed up to deceive us!"

Last night, they were hiding at the door and listening to Qin Ye crying secretly.

How could Qin Ye be crying?

I'm afraid he's hiding under the quilt, secretly laughing at them for being stupid.

"Son, you are wrong in this matter. You even dare to lie to your elders. Aren't you afraid of being struck by thunder?" Concubine Tong had a sour face and an angry mouth.

Although she was cursing, she was actually very happy that King Chen had returned.

"Then chop it up, there is nothing taboo for this king."

Zong Zhengchen hummed lazily, put his arm around Qin Ye's small waist, and walked into the palace.

Now that Prince Li has been arrested, he no longer has to hide in the dark.

The prince is back!

Everyone in the palace was very happy and celebrated with great enthusiasm...

.

In the capital, there were rumors:

"Have you heard? Prince Chen didn't go to the war. He's still in Prince Chen's mansion. He has deceived everyone!"

"Really? I went to see him off that day. If he didn't go, wouldn't that be cheating on me?"

"What's going on?"

"He pretended to go to war, won everyone's praise, and then let others take his place. He did nothing himself, and yet he got a great achievement for nothing? How can such a good thing happen in the world?"

"That's right. He is getting something for nothing. I don't know how many people he will corrupt."

"You say, were all the achievements he made in the past also attributed to others? In fact, he did nothing, yet he still has so many achievements..."

“That makes sense…”

No one knew where the rumor came from, but people were discussing it heatedly. People gathered in groups of three or five, discussing it enthusiastically.

A horse-drawn carriage was parked in an inconspicuous place at the end of the street.

A man who looked like a servant reported in a low voice:

"Sir, the news has been released."

Sitting in the carriage was a middle-aged man with shifty eyes. He was Lord Li, a sixth-rank official, but he was Prince Li's man.

In just one day, the rumor spread throughout the entire imperial capital.

Most of the people were dissatisfied, thinking that Prince Chen was deceiving the emperor and getting something for nothing.

Some people thought that Princess Chen was about to give birth and the situation was special, so she couldn't be away.

But these words caused greater dissatisfaction among the people:

It's understandable that the princess is about to give birth, but then you shouldn't go to the war. You pretended to go to the war and then secretly came back, what kind of thing is this?

Can't you let someone else take the credit?

He wanted to protect his wife and children, and at the same time he wanted to make a contribution. Now that he's been exposed, he hasn't even given anyone an explanation.

Isn't this just making a fool of everyone?
