"Are you teaching me what to do?" The emperor was sitting far away. Jing Yuchen and a group of ministers were kneeling on the ground at this time. The emperor's expression could not be seen clearly, but the majesty emanating from his body was enough to make Jing Yuchen feel scared.
"I dare not. I just think that doing so will benefit everyone!"
"You're so nice to everyone, but you're only thinking about finding the eldest daughter of the Ni family!"
He roared angrily and threw the things on the table to the ground, scaring the ministers so much that they crouched even lower and dared not make any sound!
"You should know that she's been eaten by wild beasts after being missing for half a month. Stupid!"
After he finished yelling, he stood up and looked at Jing Yuchen angrily.
"It's fine if you don't want to, then go back to your Prince's Palace and continue your confinement!"
In the end, all the ministers were implicated and driven away, and Jing Yuchen also walked out. One person stopped and stood in place, looking at Jing Yuchen, who had a calm but indifferent expression.
He said, "Second Prince, I am very grateful and touched by your deep feelings for Yue Shan. However, she may really be gone. You must be able to let go!"
He patted Jing Yuchen's shoulder and looked at him as if he were a child he loved.
Jing Yuchen frowned and suppressed the expression in his eyes: "The Prime Minister is right, perhaps the person is already dead."
After leaving the palace, Jing Yuchen did not go back to the prince's mansion to be confined, but went to the general's mansion.
Zou Yangyao's injuries were too severe and he was still lying on the bed unable to move. When he saw that the person coming towards him was Jing Yuchen, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Why is it you?"
Jing Yuchen looked down at him and asked, "Did you see Chu Ningyang at the scene that day?"
Zou Yangyao's lips were pale, and he sat up weakly, "Only Yang Wanqing."
"But your wife said that Chu Ningyang was there that day."
Zou Yangyao covered his wound, his face turning slightly paler. He leaned against the bed and said helplessly, "Perhaps Yang Wanqing really did ask her to help him murder someone, but she pretended not to agree. In fact, she still rushed to the scene. She hid there and saw things that we didn't see..."
Jing Yuchen walked out with his fists clenched. Zou Yangyao pressed on, "Is there still no news about Yueshan?"
Jing Yuchen paused, without even turning his head, and responded, "No."
Then he left without looking back.
In the prince's mansion, all the festive red silk and wedding decorations were removed, as if it was not a wedding day half a month ago.
Five days later.
The people in the city were standing on both sides of the road curiously, wanting to see what this princess from another country looked like. Was she as beautiful as the rumors said, stunningly beautiful, and peerless?
As neat iron armor and the sound of horse hooves approached, a luxurious and majestic carriage slowly came into everyone's sight. The carriage was surrounded by veils and pearl chains, blocking people's sight, but the looming figure inside became more and more imaginative.
At the head of the group was an old man wearing the court robes of a foreign country, with a calm and indifferent expression, and he never smiled.
He rode his horse in front, and when he raised his hand, the team of thousands of people stopped. He looked straight ahead, where stood several elderly ministers and a young man.
The old man dismounted from his horse and stepped forward. Jing Chengzhi was the first to speak: "Junior Jing Chengzhi, the fourth prince of Xianchang, has come to greet the princess of Canglie Kingdom on the orders of his father."
He bowed slightly, looking handsome and extraordinary, with outstanding bearing, very gentle, humble and polite.
"The princess is in the carriage. Thank you, Fourth Prince, for receiving her."
A banquet was held in the palace to entertain the envoys from Cang Lie. It should have been a joyous occasion, but the princess of Cang Lie suffered from acclimatization problems, developed a rash on her face, and was vomiting, leaving her bedridden...
Jing Chengzhi was somewhat disappointed and went to the palace banquet to report. However, the old envoy, with hidden anger, followed the princess into the room.
Inside the room, the woman pretended to vomit, preparing to throw up into a spittoon. The envoy, with a look of disdain, said, "If you want to pretend to vomit, why don't you take off your veil first?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, and did not dare to answer.
The envoy stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, pulled her up, and stared at her: "You are really getting bolder and bolder. You dare to pretend to be a princess in such an important occasion? Where is the princess?"
The woman in front of him shrank in fear. "Slave, slave, I don't know either. The princess ordered me to impersonate her. I'm also very scared."
She knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The envoy looked at her with a face full of anger: "If anything happens to the princess, you will be beheaded!"
After saying that, he snorted and left.
On an ordinary street in the capital, a woman dressed in men's clothing was surveying the streets and the passersby. She marveled, "I never thought ordinary people would dress so respectably."
"Let me go, let me go." A woman's loud shout caught her attention. She looked up and saw a bearded man grabbing a woman's wrist and pulling her forward hard, as if he wanted to lift her onto a horse.
The woman struggled, looking a little frightened and angry. Beside her was a person dressed as a maid, who said anxiously, "You can't take our princess away! Our princess doesn't want to go!"
But Jing Yuchen seemed not to hear, with a stern face, he grabbed Chu Ningyang's wrist and said coldly: "Get on the horse!"
Chu Ningyang shook his head vigorously: "No, I won't go to the cliff, I haven't done anything!"
Jing Yuchen didn't believe her at all and continued to move forward.
