He still had some money on him, but he couldn't spend it carelessly. He could only pray to the owner of the tea stall on the street to give him a hidden place as a place to rest temporarily.
Opportunities come quickly.
Princess Yong'an went out with Minister Yue, and they happened to have tea at this tea stall.
"I don't know how my brother and Rongrong are doing. It's been nearly a month since they left, and there has been no news. I don't know what's going on with them now!"
"You have been depressed recently because you are worried about this matter. The prince and Miss Shen are both wealthy and powerful people. Naturally, they are blessed by heaven and will definitely not make mistakes."
"You don't understand."
Princess Yong'an interrupted Minister Yue.
"My brother seems to be a cold-hearted person on weekdays, but he really cares about the people. Otherwise, he wouldn't go to Jiangnan again and again. And the prince...he wants to take advantage of the flood in Jiangnan to make tens of thousands of dollars. My brother will never let the prince go, and of course the prince will never let my brother go either."
"Doesn't that mean Jiangnan is very dangerous now?"
Princess Yong'an nodded, "That's why I said I was worried about him."
"Then I'll have someone go and investigate privately to see what's going on in Jiangnan."
"Don't alert the enemy."
The two of them discussed the matter in low voices, and no one around could hear them. After finishing the last bit of tea in the cup, Princess Yong'an paid the bill and prepared to leave.
But Brother Li grabbed his clothes.
The dirty hands contrasted with his clean and rich dress.
Princess Yong'an frowned, looking at the man in front of her who hadn't washed or dressed for several days, her tone still contained some disdain.
Minister Yue quickly pulled his hand away, "Where did this beggar come from? Do you think you can touch Princess Yong'an's group? Are you going to die?"
Brother Li has been spending the past few days just drinking tea. Now that my stomach is empty, my voice is even hoarser.
"The two you just mentioned... are in Jiangnan, Miss Shen and Chi..."
Before he could finish his words, he fainted.
Princess Yong'an subconsciously felt that the man in front of her knew something. While no one could hear what he said, he quickly gave orders to his men.
"The beggar has messed up my dress and ruined my mood. He deserves to die. Take him to the jail in the mansion and I will teach him a lesson."
"yes."
The tea shop owner felt a little distressed and was about to speak up when he heard Princess Yong'an say.
"Anyone who wants to plead for him will be thrown into the private prison of the princess's mansion for the same crime as him."
Naturally, no one was so scared that they dared to plead for this stranger. They could only watch Princess Yong'an take the man away.
Princess Yong'an placed the person in the Shangshu Mansion and specially asked someone to help with the treatment.
When the prince heard about this matter, he didn't think it was a big deal.
"My sister has always been spoiled by the Grand Empress Dowager. She has been raised by her side since she was a child. She always thinks she is nobler than others, but in the end, she still married a Shangshu. After not seeing her for many years, she is still so rampant."
"But will the beggar..."
"Are there not many beggars in the capital? It's just that they don't usually appear in that area."
The prince didn't take this matter to heart at all.
"My sister has always put a lot of effort into her clothes and jewelry. As the saying goes, beauty pleases oneself. Today is the day she and her husband are going out together, but that man ruined her dress. I'm afraid she won't survive."
He hardly took it to heart.
The man has now regained consciousness under the treatment of the doctor invited by Princess Yong'an.
He immediately knelt down in front of Princess Yong'an and handed over the simple letter on his chest.
“Please ask Princess Yong’an to take charge and save Yu Hou, save the innocent people of Jiangnan, and save Miss Shen and the prince.”
"Are you from Yu Hou's side?"
Although she had seen the mark on his body, Princess Yong'an was still a little worried.
After all, Yu Hou is in Jiangnan, so his subordinates will naturally not appear in the capital.
"I and my brothers came here from Yucheng to present these to Your Majesty, but we have been hunted all the way. In order to protect me and this secret letter, my brothers have all been killed. I hope Princess Yong'an can make a decision for us."
Faced with such a big thing, Princess Yong'an felt a little overwhelmed. She immediately asked someone to call the minister back and told him about the matter.
The Shangshu also looked a little worried.
"What do you think I should do about this matter? Should I care? Yue Lang, but so many people have sacrificed their lives for this thing, and it took a lot of effort for their lives to be passed into my hands. And if I don't care, my brother and Rongrong might suffer..."
"I just want to ask you one thing, regardless of any external reasons, do you want to take care of this matter?"
Princess Yong'an was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"After all, this involves the lives of so many people in Jiangnan, and my brother is involved in it. I can't just stand by and watch. I want to take care of this matter."
After being welcomed by Princess Yong'an, the Shangshu simply hugged his beloved woman in his arms. "Give it to me, and I will give it to His Majesty when I go to court tomorrow."
"You want to hand it over to His Majesty in public?"
The Shangshu nodded.
"After all, this matter concerns the Crown Prince. If you hand it over to His Majesty in private, His Majesty will naturally be biased towards the Crown Prince and make this matter less of a big deal. If you want the Crown Prince to learn a lesson, you can only hand all the evidence over to His Majesty in public. Even if His Majesty wants to protect the Crown Prince, it can't be too obvious. Even if he doesn't punish him severely, he will have to blame him."
No matter how properly the prince handled his actions, there would always be clues.
But the current Majesty has never made things difficult for the Crown Prince. He just warned him with words. Ultimately, he just wanted the Crown Prince to sit more firmly in the position of the East Palace.
Even if this matter was brought up in private, the emperor would only reprimand the prince and ask him to stop, but nothing else would be done.
"Then I'll trouble you."
The next morning court session.
There was nothing important at all, and just when the emperor stood up and was about to leave, he was stopped by the minister.
"I have something important to report to your majesty."
The emperor was somewhat curious and started over again, "What's so important about the above?"
"I want to report that the Crown Prince used the relief funds from Jiangnan to enrich himself. The funds raised went into the Crown Prince's pocket, but now Jiangnan is full of prostitutes and corpses can be seen everywhere. Now he has asked his men to capture the Prince and Miss Shen, so that they can't leave for a long time."
