Chapter 183 Rare Warmth

"Yes," the prince raised his head and met the eyes of the Great Chu Emperor, "Since Helian Hengxin was able to plant people in Doctor Yushi's house, I think Yuefeng Kingdom has planted a lot of spies in my Great Chu."

"If we catch this person right away, there will definitely be a second and a third one, and we will have to spend some time looking for them then."

"Why don't we keep this person here and use her to pass on some false news to Helian Hengxin, and of course, mix in some harmless true news from time to time."

"Then follow this line carefully and root it out."

The prince's tone was even more resolute when he said this: "If Yuefeng Country still doesn't know its limits, it's not impossible to uproot Yuefeng Country."

"The soldiers of the Great Chu now have this kind of strength."

It was the first time that the Great Chu Emperor saw such a domineering prince. He was even slightly stunned, but then he smiled and said, "Jin Yao is becoming more and more like a crown prince. I will leave this matter to you."

"As for Lord Rong..." The Emperor of Great Chu tapped the table lightly, as if he was thinking.

"I think that Lord Rong should be informed of this matter so that he can handle it properly."

The Emperor of Great Chu nodded, which was considered as tacit approval.

"How have you been these days? Are you feeling well?" In recent days, the Emperor of Great Chu has ordered half of the memorials to be delivered to Xingyang Palace. He wonders if the Crown Prince can handle it.

The prince bowed his hands respectfully and said, "It is my honor to share your worries."

"Compared to my father, this is nothing."

"Now that you have Jin Yu to help you, I feel relieved." The Great Chu Emperor paused for a moment, "But now Jin Rui is still studying with you, so you have to pay more attention to him."

"Jin Yu has indeed helped me a lot. Jin Rui is a smart child and studies hard. I don't have to worry too much about him."

The prince paused at this point and said, "But now Jinchen, father, please don't be angry. After some time, when he repents, he will still come out to participate in politics."

"Forget it, forget it." The Great Chu Emperor was extremely disappointed with the Third Prince, but he was still grateful for Jin Yao's kindness. "You are a good brother, but he may not be a good brother. Let's talk about his affairs later!"

When the Crown Prince saw the Emperor of Great Chu like this, he no longer mentioned the matter of the Third Prince.

The father and son chatted about some family matters, and there was a rare warmth in the study.

When the prince left the study, Lord Rong had been waiting outside the door as ordered. When he saw the prince coming out, he hurried forward and saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After saying that, he walked towards Yu's study.

But the prince stopped him and said, "Master Rong, you don't have to go in. I have something to tell you."

Lord Rong, however, looked hesitantly in the direction of Yu's study.

The prince chuckled: "It's OK, my father has already handed this matter over to me."

Lord Rong then followed the Crown Prince toward Xingyang Palace.

After hearing the Crown Prince's explanation of the whole story, Lord Rong almost jumped up: "Crown Prince, are you saying that Aunt Zeng... Zeng... she, she is a spy of Yuefeng Kingdom?"

The prince just nodded.

"Then I will go back now," Lord Rong stood up suddenly, "and take her to the Dali Temple."

"Don't panic, Lord Rong. I have already discussed this matter with my father and will leave this person in your house for now."

"I dare not." Lord Rong was really frightened when he heard this. How could he bear the charge of harboring a spy?

The prince did not stop him, but continued calmly: "Through her, pass some false information to Yuefeng Kingdom. Most importantly, through her, find out the person behind her and other spies, and completely cut off Yuefeng Kingdom's spies in Da Chu."

Upon hearing this, Lord Rong stood up and looked at the prince for a long time.

Then he bowed again and said, "I will obey your Highness the Crown Prince's orders."

The two talked for a long time, and when Lord Rong left the palace, he felt like his feet were floating.

I never thought that there was a spy from the enemy hidden in my house, and I never thought that my cousin whom I hadn't seen for many years had been replaced by someone else.

No wonder his cousin behaved like this. He said that his cousin was a very polite and sensible girl, so how could she do such a stupid thing as climbing into bed.

So that's how it is.

So what happened to the real cousin? Yes, the Crown Prince just said that he has sent someone to check it out, so you can rest assured.

When they arrived at the Rong Mansion, Lord Rong did not even bother to eat and went straight to the study.

Gather all the important documents around you and destroy them.

And this Aunt Zeng is no pushover either. A big drama is now taking place in the Rong Mansion.

Aunt Zeng knew very well that her act of climbing into bed must have angered Lord Rong and Madam Rong.

But Lord Rong is a timid person. As long as he can curry favor with Madam Rong, he will be able to survive in the Rong Mansion in the future.

So from that day on, Aunt Zeng came to Madam Rong's courtyard every day to greet her good morning, good afternoon, and good night. Even if Madam Rong refused to see her, she would kneel outside and kowtow before leaving.

He also personally copied scriptures for the eldest son and eldest daughter of the Rong family, and went to the Buddhist temple to recite them every day.

This actually made Mrs. Rong somewhat moved.

When saying good morning that day, Mrs. Rong invited the person in.

Finally, when she saw Madam Rong, Aunt Zeng knelt on the ground and refused to get up: "Madam, please forgive me for my foolish behavior that day."

As she spoke, she burst into tears: "My parents passed away, and I was bullied in my hometown. I was even... I was almost kidnapped and sold to a brothel."

"Then I remembered my cousin who was far away in the capital. I didn't expect that my cousin had risen to the position of a military officer and was getting along very well with his wife."

Aunt Zeng leaned forward again when she said this: "I was really bewildered. I thought that if I could stay with my cousin, he would be able to keep me safe."

"That's why I came up with this bad idea."

"If you are angry, feel free to punish me, but don't let yourself get upset."

"Or, or I have ruined my own face." As she said this, she was about to snatch the comb from the hand of the nanny beside Madam Rong, but the nanny pushed it away.

"You bastard, don't put on airs in front of Madam," the nanny said, not accustomed to Zeng's behavior. "Just stay in your own yard and Madam won't make things difficult for you."

Zeng kowtowed again: "Madam, as long as you are willing to let me stay in the mansion, I will never get close to you in the future."

The nanny wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Madam Rong: "Forget it, go back to the yard. You don't need to come here to pay your respects."

However, in the past half month, she really did not go near the main courtyard or the master's study at all.

When Mrs. Rong and Rong Wenmiao talked about this, they couldn't help but sigh: "He is just a poor man who wants to seek shelter."

Rong Wenmiao snorted coldly.
