Everyone has privacy.

But for the things we desire, we will probably only speak them out fearlessly when we are ignorant children.

When I grow up, I learn to hide my privacy.

Prince Huai's answer should be just the words of a child, right?

But now that he is no longer a child emperor, can he dare to speak out his true answer without hesitation?

“I’ve been fooled!”

The emperor's face turned ashen as he gritted his teeth and spoke word by word.

"This is her real purpose, to make everyone in the city talk about Prince Huai."

He stood up angrily and kicked over the stool in front of him.

"She actually did this!"

"How could she do this!"

"Are all the officials in the court dead?"

"Why haven't you arrested her yet?"

Yuan Bao hurried forward and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ning's intention is that Your Majesty should return to the capital to refute this matter at the grand court meeting," he said.

Return to Beijing.

Are you going to be forced back by that woman like this?

The issue of appointing a crown prince must be discussed in front of all the officials at the grand court meeting!

Is this matter even worth discussing?

So what this means is that for all the civil and military officials, do they really think that Prince Huai can be made the crown prince?

The emperor's face turned livid.

And that Ning Yan, it turns out that people only like her for a quarter of an hour.

Sour and rotten!

At this time, Lu Yunqi should just step forward and beat her to death, just like when he first discussed the possibility of inheriting the throne. Let's see who dares to discuss it again!

"Lu Yunqi!" the emperor shouted.

Yuan Bao has stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, Master Ning said that the capital is still not stable now, and the Qingshan Army is watching us covetously." He said hurriedly, "We can't kill that woman."

The emperor threw his sleeves in anger.

"So we're just going to let her be so arrogant?" he said, "Do you really want me to make that bastard the crown prince?"

Of course you don't have to.

Yuan Bao blinked and looked at the emperor.

Didn’t Lord Ning say that we should just refute it with righteous words at the grand court meeting?

The emperor's face turned pale and blue.

Refute...

He seemed to see the oppressive officials before his eyes.

Many of these guys looked down on him, thinking that he was not worthy of being emperor and that he had gotten the title by chance.

Now that the little bastard has come out again, they must be thinking of driving him off the throne.

Then everyone will attack him in the court...

No.

He would never give them this opportunity.

The emperor stood there with a grim expression.

He never gave others a chance to attack him.

There are many ways to solve this problem.

Just like how he resolved the issue of his succession to the throne.

There is absolutely no need to engage in verbal disputes with the world; just resolve the key point of the matter.

The key to that matter is the existence of the prince.

Therefore, if the prince was eliminated, everything would be solved easily. He didn't need to worry about it anymore. Everything happened naturally.

Now the key to this matter is King Huai.

Just get rid of King Huai and that's it.

"But it's a bit inconvenient to take action against Prince Huai now. Everyone in the capital is watching Prince Huai's mansion." Yuan Bao whispered, "If they poisoned a patient, and Miss Jun is a miracle doctor..."

"So the key to all this is still because of Miss Jun." The emperor said coldly.

Yuan Bao nodded heavily.

"Yes, it's all because of her," he said.

She should have been eliminated when she first entered Prince Huai's palace to treat him.

No wonder I felt so uncomfortable with this woman at that time.

I originally thought that a young woman and a doctor could not cause much trouble, so I was careless for a moment.

I didn't expect her to cause so much trouble again.

When I think about it carefully, I don’t know how I got to this point today.

"Your Majesty, she can do this only because she is rich and powerful." Yuan Bao said, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. As long as you reduce her power and clip her wings, she won't be able to cause any big waves."

The emperor turned and looked at him.

"Then what are you waiting for?" he said coldly.

…

By the time the Qingshan Army reached the capital, news of the Jin army's retreat had already reached Yangcheng.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the alert became even stricter.

Because tens of thousands of Jin soldiers were not wiped out by the Qingshan Army in one fell swoop, but scattered in all directions along the Jingdong Road, no one dared to guarantee that they would not come to Shanxi.

The tightly closed gates of Yangcheng were opened, and the soldiers guarding the city looked at the troops in front of them nervously.

On the leading horse sat a young man wearing plain clothes. Although the clothes were white in color, they were not plain. They were woven with patterns of silver threads. The boots on his feet were adorned with a row of pearls. He did not wear a jade crown in his hair, but only a flower.

When the soldiers saw the young man, they only felt the spring scenery was dazzling and splendid, and then they vaguely realized that it was the season of spring with flowers blooming and the scenery was just right.

It’s all because of the Jin soldiers.

The soldiers looked at the young man in front of them with even more sighs.

"Master Fang, are you going to leave the city?" they asked with concern.

Fang Chengyu smiled slightly.

"Yes," he said, "I'm going to Zezhou."

The soldiers were startled.

"Zezhou?" they said, looking at the guards surrounding Fang Chengyu.

Each of these guards was strong and sturdy, carrying clubs, swords and spears. The sharp eyes of the soldiers could even see that there were bows and crossbows hidden under the bulging bags on their horses' backs.

But despite this, it is too dangerous to go out at this time and travel such a long distance. If you encounter Jin soldiers on the way, these guards may not be their opponents.

"Thank you, but it's okay." Fang Chengyu thanked them for their concern and urged his horse forward.

The soldiers could only watch him being escorted out of the city by the guards.

"I heard that the Fang family's bank had problems." A soldier whispered, "They lost a lot of money."

Yangcheng is such a big place that any little disturbance will be known to everyone, and everyone has heard about this incident.

"Is it because of the division of the family property?" a soldier asked. "That's why they say that a harmonious family is the foundation of everything. If the business is divided, it will hurt the vitality."

The soldier from before nodded and shook his head.

"It doesn't seem to be entirely because of this." He said, "It seems to be due to business dealings. I don't understand it either. Anyway, Master Fang is short of money now. If the money is not in place, the whole bank will collapse."

So serious!

Several soldiers stared at him.

"It seems that Young Master Fang is going to the provincial capital to discuss business." The soldier from before looked as if he understood.

The others nodded with sympathy and helplessness.

"It's dangerous to go out, but it's also dangerous not to go out. There's nothing we can do about it," they sighed.

…

"Grandma, those words when the family was divided were just angry words, said to outsiders. If we really need money, will we really not take it?"

Fang Yunxiu said anxiously.

"It's very dangerous for me to go out at this time."

Old Mrs. Fang sat on the chair with a blank expression.

“Is it safe if you don’t go out?” she said. “It’s not necessarily unsafe if you go out.”

This is equivalent to saying nothing.

Mrs. Fang closed her eyes and quickly turned the Buddhist beads in her hands.

Fang Yunxiu became even more anxious, and Fang Yuxiu shook her head at her.

"Since you know that there is no safety anywhere in this world, you must have taken precautions long ago," she said, "Just wait for my little brother to return safely as he wishes."

…

A burst of joyful laughter rang out from Deshengchang Bank in Zezhou City.

Then a group of people came out of the house.

"Master Fang, have you packed it?"

A man dressed like a wealthy businessman asked with a smile.

Fang Chengyu smiled and nodded.

"I still trust Mr. Zhong as a person," he said.

The shopkeeper Gao bowed with a smile.

"I have already counted it. Mr. Zhong is very wealthy and generous, so not a penny is missing." He said respectfully and sincerely, "Thank you Mr. Zhong for trusting our Deshengchang."

The man who was called Mr. Zhong laughed out loud, looking as if he didn't care.

"As for money, it doesn't matter who you put it in. Although everyone says that Deshengchang is having problems now, I still trust you. I'm going to put all my belongings with you." He said, "Let's get rich together."

Fang Chengyu nodded with a smile.

"Let's get rich together," he said.

Mr. Zhong looked at the sky.

"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave," he said.

"I'll take Mr. Zhong out of the city." Fang Chengyu said.

Hearing Fang Chengyu say this, Gao, the shopkeeper at the side, became a little nervous and winked at the guards standing around.

But Mr. Zhong waved his hand to stop him.

"No, no," he said, "I have to visit a relative here, so I won't leave today. Master Fang doesn't need to see me off."

He laughed again as he spoke.

"If Master Fang wants to show his sincerity, why not come and see me off tomorrow?"

Fang Chengyu replied with a smile, and Manager Gao also breathed a sigh of relief. He and Fang Chengyu saw Mr. Zhong off to the door, and then turned around to watch him leave in the car.

"We've checked. Mr. Zhong does have relatives in the capital city." Shopkeeper Gao said in a low voice.

Fang Chengyu nodded.

"Then you should ask him clearly when he will leave tomorrow," he said.

The cabinet manager Gao replied yes.

"It would be much better if the young master went to deliver it tomorrow." He said with some joy, "We can arrange for exploration in advance, just in case."

Fang Chengyu smiled.

"It's always better to be cautious." He said, "Fortunately, this time Mr. Zhong came directly to our bank with the money, otherwise we would have to go through a lot of trouble in a strange place."

Manager Gao nodded in response and breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. With this money, we can make up for our deficit." He said, "It's worth it for the young master to come here for this trip."

Fang Chengyu smiled.

"Yeah, if I didn't come, I wouldn't be able to get the money," he said.

This may sound wrong, but it also seems to be true.

"Go ahead and be on guard. Even though you have the money, you must not let your guard down," Fang Chengyu said.

The cabinet manager Gao straightened his expression and replied yes.

"Master, you've worked hard, go and have a rest," he said, pointing ahead, "They've packed up everything."

Fang Chengyu nodded and walked over slowly.

Shopkeeper Gao watched Fang Chengyu stand at the door, push it open and take a step before turning around.

"You guys follow me..." He waved to the guards beside him and just as he said that, he heard a loud bang behind him.

He turned around in shock and saw thick smoke rising from the room Fang Chengyu had walked into, followed by flames.

On fire...

On Fire!

"Young Master!" Shopkeeper Gao's face was distorted and he screamed in a distorted voice, rushing towards the house that was instantly swallowed by the fire dragon.

The whole Deshengchang was in chaos.

The thick smoke and fire immediately caused chaos among the people on the street.

When they got on the carriage at the street, Mr. Zhong lifted the curtain and looked back with a sarcastic sneer.
