Wu Xiaoen hadn't expected the Third Prince to cane him directly, so he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, spare my life! I've always spoken like this. Don't you always think I'm right?"
Qin Jinlin suppressed the urge to curse and waved his hand in disdain, "Why don't you shut up?"
The servants didn't dare to do anything at first. After all, Eunuch Wu was a man highly regarded by His Highness. When they heard the Third Prince say this, they quickly covered his mouth and dragged him out.
Qin Jinlin then turned his gaze to Chu Zhou who was kneeling in the study.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll beat you too?"
"Your Highness won't. Although he's young, he's always very calm. He usually asks us to take good care of small animals that stray into our palace." Chu Zhou lowered his head and didn't hear Qin Jinlin speak, so he continued, "Secondly, Eunuch Wu really shouldn't have made up stories about the Emperor and the Concubine Chen. The Concubine Chen couldn't bear to see Your Highness sad, so she often made red bean paste for him."
"It was the servants who took them."
"Those red bean pastes were actually made by my mother." Qin Jinlin heard about the red bean paste and looked at the bowl spilled on the ground. "Damn Wu Xiaoen, he deserved to die."
"Your Highness, please calm down." Chu Zhou fell to the ground, not daring to move.
"Forget it. From now on, you will take care of me personally." Qin Jinlin pretended to be casual and continued to ask, "Do you have any other relatives at home?"
"I dare not deceive Your Highness. I have an older brother who is a city patrol captain. We just met two days ago." Chu Zhou was a little nervous, but still told the truth.
"Captain of the City, I happen to have something that I need your brother to do. Are you willing?" Qin Jinlin said as he observed Chu Zhou's expression. Seeing that the other party was just a little surprised, he felt relieved.
"But as Your Highness ordered, if it wasn't for the Empress Chen Fei saving me, I would have died in the Imperial Garden." Chu Zhou kowtowed to Qin Jinlin calmly.
Qin Jinlin then realized that his mother had been silently protecting him.
"Come closer and listen."

On the third day, everything turned out just as Qin Zhenzhen had expected.
The refugees became even more agitated, and the leader was about to chop down a peddler with an axe.
Chu Tianlei had been secretly looking for the person who was leading the trouble. Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward and kicked the man away, saving the peddler.
Then he arrested the leader and took him away quietly while no one was reacting.
At the corner, there was another man in white. After seeing the man being caught, he quickly stepped forward to meet Chu Tianlei.
"Brother Bai, you have to come to judge this person."
If Qin Zhenzhen were here, she would definitely applaud.
Chu Tianlei is really reliable and he knows that this person cannot be sent to the government.

Let’s talk about Qin Zhenzhen.
In recent days, the emperor father has not come to see her, so she has been eating and drinking her fill every day.
Today, after a long sleep, she woke up and heard Zhou Mian's voice.
"Your Majesty, His Majesty sent me to take the little princess to the Yangxin Palace, saying that he was in a better mood after seeing the little princess." The more Zhou Mian spoke, the more he lowered his head. He felt helpless about the excuse of His Majesty.
Zhou Mian knew that Concubine Chen held a special position in His Majesty's heart, so he acted more thoughtfully.
After hearing this, Concubine Chen's heart trembled.
His Majesty may have encountered a difficult problem and wants to find some clues from the little princess's thoughts.
"Thank you, Eunuch Zhou. I hope you can take good care of the little princess."
Immediately, Concubine Chen ordered people to prepare Qin Zhenzhen's diapers and padded clothes.
"Your Majesty, I will take good care of the little princess. His Majesty has ordered two cows to be brought to the Yangxin Palace." Zhou Mian carefully took the little princess.
Qin Zhenzhen found a comfortable position in Zhou Mian's arms.
What kind of family would raise cattle in the Yangxin Palace? What does my father, the emperor, think?
[Woo woo, I just want to stay here and cuddle with my mother.]

Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Your Majesty, the little princess is here." As Zhou Mian walked into the hall, a hand suddenly reached out and snatched the swaddling clothes from his arms.
Zhou Mian was not surprised at all. The only one who could snatch someone from him was His Majesty.
But, didn’t Your Majesty just recover?
You are so agile in your movements, you are worthy of being His Majesty.
"My Zhenzhen is here. I'm fine now. Don't worry about you falling." Qin Yuanhao stretched out his hand and teased Qin Zhenzhen, but Qin Zhenzhen pushed his hand away in disgust.
Emperor Dad, do you know how cold it is now?
"You'd better have something new to say to me if you brought me here to work overtime."
"Zhou Mian, add two more stoves to the stove so that the little princess won't get cold." After Qin Yuanhao gave the instructions, he lowered his head to tease Qin Zhenzhen. Zhou Mian waved the whisk in his hand, brought all the palace maids and eunuchs out, and closed the door.
[As expected of Eunuch Zhou, he's like a worm in the Emperor's stomach!]
The corner of Qin Yuanhao's eye twitched. What kind of insect was this roundworm? But he didn't think much about it and quickly shouted, "An Yi, come out and answer!"
In a moment of distraction, he saw a man in black tights standing in front of Qin Yuanhao.
[Wow, this is what they call Qinggong. This guy is the leader of the secret guards. He looks quite reliable.]
An Yi saw that His Majesty had specially brought the princess with him. He was puzzled, but he did not show any sign on his face. He just calmly talked about his recent investigation: "Your Majesty, I sent people to the east, south and west of the capital. They rode for about 500 miles. In the east, we can vaguely see a large number of refugees heading towards the capital, about 10,000 people. In the west, the Marquis of Zhenbei is leading his soldiers back to the capital."
"Is it necessary to inform the Marquis of Zhenbei in advance so that he can suppress the rebellion?" Seeing that His Majesty remained silent, An Yi could only ask tentatively.
"No."
[No! Please don't.]
Qin Zhenzhen was so excited that she waved her hands.
As the ancients said, "It's better to disperse than to block." Suppressing these refugees represents the lives of millions more refugees. Everyone is watching!
[In my previous life in heaven, I saw too many things like this. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Only the people are the foundation of a country.]
After hearing what Qin Zhenzhen said, Qin Yuanhao's body trembled.
His first reaction was that she was indeed a fairy from heaven, her words made so much sense.
What a saying: He who wins the hearts of the people will win the world.
The little fairy was reincarnated as his daughter to save their Qin State. He believed that the Qin State would never perish.
[With three months left until the nation's demise, the treatment of these refugees will have a significant impact.]
Qin Yuanhao was stunned. How could there only be three months?
Since the little princess said that the issue of refugees is related to the destruction of the country, he will definitely handle it well.
"So many refugees must have gathered here because they are desperate. They want their emperor to protect them. How can I suppress them?"
[Father, your thoughts are quite clear! You can even think of this.]
That’s right, I have been learning how to govern a country since I was a child with the late emperor.
Now I get some advice from the little fairy.
The only question is what these refugees should do to be properly arranged.
If it were just to distribute food and silver...
Qin Yuanhao fell into deep thought.
The next second, Qin Zhenzhen's inner voice appeared.
[By the way, let me see what "Post-Disaster Reconstruction and Plague Prevention" says.]
