Shen Yuerong showed helplessness on her face, and thought of something.
"Before I entered the palace, the Fu family came to see me. The old lady kept asking me to return their son. Since it was the prince who captured him, he didn't even ask them to report his safety to his family. I find it a little strange."
"What's the big deal?"
He changed his sitting position, holding Shen Yuerong’s hand with one hand.
"The reason why the prince took the risk to kidnap the two of them was that he didn't want this incident to break out in the world. If the people in the general's mansion knew that the two of them were safe and sound, wouldn't they no longer have any means to control the general's mansion?"
"As far as I know, those foolish people in the General's Mansion will never be able to compete with the Crown Prince. I'm even afraid that apart from asking me for help, they may not even be able to ask the Crown Prince for help at this moment."
"That's the prince's business."
Chi Mu was also a little curious about how the prince would solve this problem.
East Palace.
The prince looked at the two men who were kneeling at his feet and had been beaten beyond recognition, but he still felt hatred in his heart.
"You are really a couple who are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. What did I tell you at the beginning? Now, the man is alive and well, and he has evidence of the border incidents in his hands. Are you afraid that he will not pull me down from the position of crown prince?"
"Your Highness, I am not to blame for this. My plan was flawless. It was all that woman's fault. If she hadn't taken advantage of my absence and tampered with it, my plan would have been successful by now."
"What's the plan? Relying on Chen Yuerong to threaten Chi Mu? Aren't you afraid that he will get angry and leave all of you in Jiangnan?"
Even though their methods were carried out thousands of miles away, they were still noticed by the prince.
"I asked you to kill people, not to talk about love."
The prince sat in a chair, looking thoughtful.
"Do you still remember what you promised me when you left the capital? Now, the ability to rescue the disaster and serve the people is all due to Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu. On the contrary, you are the culprit who intended to destroy all this."
"It's my subordinates' incompetence."
"I am too lazy to argue with you now. What I want is the result. You should think of a way to solve this matter!"
The prince handed the matter over to Fu Hengyu, and he thought of something else, "The general's mansion...does it have a pair of children besides you? I remember that your sister wanted to marry into the prince's mansion some time ago."
"yes."
"If you succeed in this matter, I will reward you with a favor and let your sister enter the East Palace as a concubine. How about that?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince...are you really going to marry my sister?"
His eyes were full of gains and losses, and at that moment he did not have the disappointment of a brother who knew that his sister would be taken as a concubine by someone else.
"Of course, if you can help me get rid of the disaster I'm facing, even if it's me in the past who's in danger, I won't treat you badly."
"good."
After the prince left, he sat on the ground and looked at the woman who was now lying on the ground, breathing out more than she was breathing in.
"I will push all the charges onto you, and let you shoulder the blame for me and the prince. I will ensure that your Du family will live a prosperous life."
"You want me to die?"
Du Wan opened her eyes with some difficulty. She never expected that he could be so heartless.
"I don't want to either, but now the prince must give me an explanation. If you don't take all the responsibilities and die, then the prince and I will be the ones who will be suspected by His Majesty and will never have peace. You like me so much, you should be willing to make such a sacrifice for me!"
"You farted."
She shook off the hand of the person in front of her, her tone somewhat cold, "You don't give me anything, and you want me to bear the blame? You wish for it."
He coughed and said, "Even if you are not thinking about the other members of the Du family, you should at least think about your two children. I promise you that as long as you are willing to sacrifice for me, they will always be the legitimate sons and daughters of my general's mansion."
This is what she has always wanted.
"You've said this countless times. You said that you would fulfill my wish once you and her divorced. But...it's been so long, and I still haven't fulfilled my wish."
Time passed, and it was already half a year ago that I returned to the capital.
But everything that was promised has not yet been realized.
"I didn't tell a lie this time."
"If I take on all the sins, at best I will die alone, at worst my entire clan will be wiped out. Why should I trust you?"
"You can only trust me, and if you don't want to, don't blame me for being merciless. After all, it was you who did it. The prince and I can just push you out and let people know that all this is just your soft-heartedness. You did all this because you remembered Shen Yuerong!"
"you……"
That hypocritical face became more and more real, making people feel a little disgusted.
"good."
…
Maybe the prince benefited from it, or maybe someone couldn't stand Chi Mu.
He finally recovered from his illness and appeared in the court, but someone brought a memorial, and everything on it was directed at Chi Mu.
"Your Majesty, we all know that the prince went there for the greater good, but as far as I know, the prince never did anything practical during this journey. Instead, he only inspected the river dams a few times. All disaster relief work was done by the local leaders and the people. Wherever his army went, they extorted the people in various ways, trying to make them slaves."
As soon as he said this, Chi Mu looked at them in surprise.
The local people were well aware of everything he had done along the way, but they just turned a blind eye and threw such dirty water on themselves.
"Master Ning, you should speak with evidence. You said that I did nothing for the local people during my trip south. Then why did I go south? Was it because I was bored and wanted to walk around?"
He was intimidating without being angry, and his eyes swept across the officials, but in an instant many of them did not dare to speak.
"The prince said that he had done something real, but... I have never heard of the prince being mentioned in the local government newspaper?"
This group of people really protect each other.
Obviously, he did a lot of things himself, but because of the prince's protection, everything became his fault in the end.
"His Majesty."
Shen Yuerong's voice came from outside the door. She held a letter in her hand and walked into the hall step by step.
Chi Mu and the prince were both a little surprised by her appearance.
"Your Majesty, your servant."
The emperor waved his hand and asked her to stand up and answer.
"Women are not allowed to interfere in politics, Shen's girl, don't think that just because His Majesty has appointed you as a third-rank official, you can stir up trouble in the court."
These officials didn't take Shen Yuerong, a first-class woman, seriously at all.
"I have come here this time only to seek an audience with the emperor and to express my grievances on behalf of the people affected by the disaster."
