The emperor looked at him cautiously. The prince fell to his knees and spoke with some regret.
"I was just confused at first. I thought that if I did a good job in disaster relief, it would be a great achievement, but if I didn't do it well, it would be a big mistake. I am still young and I still have a lot to learn, so... I thought about handing this matter over to the prince. After all, the prince has traveled a lot over the years and has seen a lot of things in the world. He is more suitable than me. But the general's words woke me up."
"What did he say?"
"He said that as the crown prince, I should share your majesty's worries and be more compassionate to the people. Now that Jiangnan has suffered a disaster, I, as the crown prince, should set an example. However, I fled for many reasons at this time, which is somewhat unworthy of a crown prince. So he came here specially to speak for me. Regardless of whether I am right or wrong, I will bear all the consequences."
It’s not that the emperor hadn’t heard the rumors among the people.
I know more about Fu Hengyu's character.
It's obvious that these words were not spoken by him personally.
The prince has had many advisers around him over the years, and his actions, thoughts and concerns are no longer easily controlled by his father.
However, there was nothing wrong with the explanation given by the prince. Although he wanted to intercept it, in the end, it could only be left unresolved.
"Never mind, he is just a small general. Since he wants to do something for the court, it would be a bit inhumane for me to stop him. So let him go. But if anything happens, he will have to bear the consequences himself."
"I, your son, would like to thank your father for his kindness on behalf of the general."
The prince brought back the imperial edict for Fu Hengyu and gave him some instructions.
"When you go there this time, don't be too ambitious, and don't do anything you shouldn't do. Just do your job well and protect yourself. That's the best strategy."
"I understand."
The prince thought about it again and again, and whispered in his ear, "If possible, don't kill him. After all, there are many refugees in the disaster area. If we are not careful, the refugees will cause trouble and many people may die."
"yes."
The emperor also ate two thousand of his personal soldiers and went to the south of the Yangtze River with him.
Although the two groups set out at different times, Fu Hengyu rode faster on the pretext of being worried about the situation in the disaster area, shortening the journey by several days and collided with Chi Mu and his group.
When Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu saw him, they looked very alert, even when he was standing in front of her.
"Why is General Fu here?"
"I have received your Majesty's order and will go with the prince to comfort the victims and lend a helping hand."
"The king has not received the order from His Majesty?"
He looked at the man and spoke with some displeasure. The latter took out the imperial decree and said, "This decree with the imperial seal is not something that I can handle at will. Please verify it yourself, Your Majesty."
He had seen it many times, so when he saw it, he was sure that it was His Majesty's seal.
It seems that we must travel together on this journey.
"Your Highness, please take care of each other along the way."
Chi Mu didn't say anything, but turned around and pulled Shen Yuerong into the room of the inn.
Shen Yuerong looked at him helplessly.
"He came here for business, not for me. You hurriedly pulled me into the house, acting like you were hiding a beautiful girl in a golden house. Someone who didn't know would think I was some valuable item."
"I think the way he looks at you is not right. He must still have some plans for you, and this time he came here just to take you away from me. I will never allow this to happen."
Shen Yuerong looked at him, feeling somewhat helpless.
"I am also a living person. Even if he is interested in me, I am already ruthless to him. Even if he deliberately teases me, I will not react at all. You pull me into the house in front of everyone like this. Aren't you afraid of people talking behind my back?"
He shook his head stubbornly, "I already regard you as my wife now, I don't care what others say."
Shen Yuerong felt that she rarely saw him being so willful, so she smiled helplessly and hugged him in her arms.
"Don't worry, I'm yours, and he can never take me away. If he really wants to stay with us in the disaster area, we'll meet many times in the future, and I can't always avoid him."
We are all working for the disaster victims, so there is always the chance that we will miss each other.
Chi Mu was a little unhappy. "He is such a dog-skin plaster. Wherever others go, he goes too. Isn't it better for him to be a fifth-rank official in his scripture?"
"This happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to ask you. His Majesty only entrusted this matter to you. What about the Crown Prince?"
"What about what should the Crown Prince do? The Crown Prince shirked responsibility for this matter, saying that he was still young and didn't know how to handle it, so he entrusted it to me, and I had no choice but to step in on his behalf."
When he thought about how that kid was so smart and put all the blame on him, he felt very angry.
"It seems that the prince is not stupid. He knows that disaster relief work is not easy to do, so he pushed all the things onto you."
"Yes, but Fu Hengyu is his man, could it be..."
"The people are suffering. If I, as the crown prince, were to stand by and watch, I would be cursed. So I naturally dare not do that. I had no choice but to send him."
Everyone knows who belongs to whom.
What's more, Du Wan was announced to the public as a beauty sent by the prince.
"So you mean he was sent by the prince to spy on me?"
Shen Yuerong shook her head subconsciously, "Although I can't tell why he came now, it's still better to be careful."
Along the way, the two of them paid special attention to Fu Hengyu, fearing that they would be framed by him.
But he followed all the way, not only appearing to be extremely obedient, but also wanting to carry out Chi Mu's orders himself and do them to perfection, so much so that for a moment, Chi Mu could not figure out his purpose.
