Chi Mu stood there, watching the faces of those responsible persons change again and again. His uncle wanted to explain but it was a done deal. He didn't know how to exonerate himself.
"Do you remember what this gentleman said to me when I was greeting you all a few days ago? I remember it vaguely, but what happened today really surprised me."
"My Lord, please listen to my explanation. This is only temporary..."
"How long is a while? It has been like this since the beginning. Even though the imperial court has clearly sent disaster relief funds, you still do as you please, relying on the fact that no one is paying attention to this money, and you do whatever you want."
Several people didn't dare to speak, after all, Chi Mu was telling the truth.
"I will tell your majesty the truth about this matter. Your majesty will make the final decision."
After he finished speaking, he pulled Shen Yuerong away from this place.
The two returned to the room.
Shen Yuerong looked at him with a somewhat frustrated look, with a smile on her lips.
"You believed in that lord before, and thought that no matter what, he would not take advantage of these innocent people under his command just for his own pleasure."
"I think an official should love the people as if they were his own children."
"Don't forget, they are all members of the prince's party."
Shen Yuerong poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of him.
"These people are being mistreated, and the progress of rebuilding their homes and other things will be hindered accordingly, and he will also be blamed by His Majesty. Why should he do this?"
"Your Majesty will blame him for this?"
"After all, the prince was responsible for distributing the disaster relief funds, but the vulnerable people did not receive them in time or..."
"But if the prefectures and counties all say they have received the money, it's simply because the expenses are too high, and this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket."
"this…"
"Does the prince have any other livelihood outside?"
“I haven’t checked that.”
Even if the prince did something he shouldn't have done, he would never leave any clues.
Moreover, there will always be someone to plan for his livelihood outside, but it is impossible for him to rely on him alone.
"When we get back to the capital, let's investigate Fu Hengyu. No, investigate Du Wan."
"Why did you bring up those two unlucky couples for no reason? Could it be that you are now..."
"Is this how I am in your mind?"
Shen Yuerong sighed.
"I didn't know that Fu Hengyu had any dealings with the Crown Prince before, so I never paid attention to his actions. But after you left, Du Wan came to see me. She looked so arrogant, as if she had a lot of people backing her up, and she wasn't afraid of offending you or me at all."
Although Shen Yuerong's current identity is just a little girl from the Shen family.
But in the end he was benefited by the palace.
The entire capital city also knew about the relationship between Chen Yuerong and Chi Mu.
Everyone knows it tacitly, and will give some face no matter what they do.
If Du Wan had not been deeply favored by the prince, she would never dare to continue to provoke her at this time.
"Maybe it's just the woman's hatred. She didn't always dislike you. Maybe it's because of this dislike in her heart that she..."
Shen Yuerong shook her head.
If it were in the past, it would still be possible.
But ever since she knew that she was the prince's person, she felt that Du Wan was scheming in everything she did.
"Since you think something is wrong with her, don't get involved with her in the future, and don't get close to the General's Mansion anymore."
"What you said, do you mean you don't want me to get close to her, or you don't want me to get close to the General's Mansion, and you don't want me to get close to Fu Hengyu."
"You know exactly what I mean."
"I know. But I'd rather hear you tell me the truth."
Shen Yuerong wanted to tease him.
"I don't want... you and him..."
Shen Yuerong laughed out loud, "I didn't want to have any more dealings with the General's Mansion. It was just the people in the General's Mansion who deliberately pestered me before. I won't do that again in the future."
Shen Yuerong will not give the General's Mansion any more chances.
Chi Mu quickly wrote a letter, intending to tell the current emperor all the details of the situation here.
Just when Fang Mu was about to take the letter away, Shen Yuerong stopped it.
"etc."
Their eyes were focused on Shen Yuerong.
"What happened this afternoon, all the adults are now focused on you. They want to know whether you will spread the news to the capital. If you do, I'm afraid that not only will the news not reach the emperor, but even you and I will be in danger of our lives."
"What?"
Chi Mu didn't expect that this group of people would be so bold as to murder him.
"You are a prince, so I cannot let you die. But if I were to break your limbs and make you lose your voice and become a mute, that would be easy."
Especially for their meals, they still have to rely on the small kitchen.
"But if this news does not reach the capital, your majesty will never know what kind of collusion they are engaged in."
Shen Yuerong thought about it again and again calmly.
"How far is this place from Yucheng?"
"It's about a few dozen miles. If we rush, it will only take two or three days."
"Go and tell them."
Shen Yuerong poked Chi Mu, "You said you knew they had their reasons for doing this. The amount of relief grain sent by the court was indeed too little, and there was no fresh food to replenish it for a while. You also understood them, so you sent your confidant to Yucheng for help."
"The talismans provided by these cities should be exactly the same. If one city lacks them, the other city won't be much richer."
Of course Shen Yuerong knew.
"Although three years have passed, if I remember correctly, the garrison commander of Yucheng is still the Yuhou Jiang of that year."
"yes."
Shen Yuerong took off a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Fang Mu.
"This jade pendant was a promise between Yu Hou and me. When he saw it, he understood everything."
"Then I will go right away."
Shen Yuerong stopped him again, "Wait for your prince to finish speaking before you leave."
"Are you sure this is okay?"
Shen Yuerong nodded.
"Yu Hou saved my life. I asked him for help. He will definitely help me get it done."
"good."
Fang Mu rode at full speed and arrived at Yucheng before the night of the second day.
He didn't dare to delay at all and went to see Yu Hou immediately.
Yu Hou no longer had the ruthlessness he had in the past, but when he saw the jade pendant, his expression changed slightly.
"You are hers."
"Yes, the girl said that you will understand everything when you see this jade pendant."
"What does your girl want me to do for her?"
"I want to borrow some food and fodder. By the way... please find a way to pass this letter to your majesty."
He looked at the letter and indeed did not take it.
"I still have some food left in the city. You can take it for emergency use. As for this letter..."
