It was impossible for Zou Yangyao to castrate himself. Jing Yuchen knew what was going on best, but he did not spread the news that he asked a butcher to castrate Zou Yangyao.
Therefore, no one else knew the fact that Zou Yangyao became an incomplete man.
Of course, Jing Yuchen didn't expect that Zou Yangyao would use this matter as a bargaining chip to get out of prison!
Jing Yuchen frowned, and all the civil and military officials were extremely surprised. Castration!
If a minister loses his fertility, it means he will have no descendants and no sons to inherit his title in the future. So no matter how glorious his title becomes, there will be no one to inherit it!
Such a person should absolutely not have any sinister ambitions!
The generals who supported Zou Yangyao knelt down at this moment and said, "Your Majesty, please release General Zou!"
When Jing Yuchen returned to the Prince's Mansion, Ni Yueshan saw that he looked unhappy and asked curiously, "Did something happen? Did someone report you?"
"Zou Yangyao claimed he castrated himself in exchange for sympathy and requested his release, hoping to redeem himself for meritorious service. He should have been killed directly in the first place!"
Only in this way can we eliminate future troubles!
Ni Yueshan was also surprised: "He was thrown into the Heavenly Prison, and now you are the Crown Prince, and there are still people who dare to stand up for him!"
"The Dali Temple official said that Zou Yangyao castrated himself, which shocked him deeply, so he reported it..."
Ni Yueshan thought of the skinny old man and smiled: "He... took the money, right?"
Jing Yuchen was stunned: "That makes sense."
In a restaurant in the capital, Duan Gouqiong was busy looking for a doctor for Jing Chengzhi, getting medicine, asking the kitchen to boil medicine for Jing Chengzhi, and then giving the medicine to Jing Chengzhi to drink. He was busy running around and was sweating all over.
"Hey, you're a prince, what's wrong with you? If you're injured, just go back to the prince's mansion. Why do you want me to take care of you?"
Jing Chengzhi looked at Duan Gouqiong with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Didn't you marry my second brother? Why are you here?"
Duan Gouqiong was stunned, then smiled awkwardly. "That's a long story. I was the one who asked you the question first, so how did you become the one asking me? You haven't told me yet, but why did you save me? Who was trying to kill me? All of my twenty-plus guards are dead."
Duan Gouqiong had many doubts, which he said out one after another, making Jing Chengzhi frown. He sat up on the bed with a weak expression.
"I was about to be exiled to the frontier, but I saw a fight on the way, so I took people to help. However, the soldiers who supervised my exile were killed, and all your people died too!"
"If you hadn't returned and saved me, I would have bled to death by now!"
"So who exactly wants to kill this princess?"
"I don't know either. Princess, why don't you tell your father and ask him to check it out!"
Duan Gouqiong hesitated, and finally asked, "Why were you exiled?"
"... mistakenly killed Minister Tian's eldest son!"
Duan Gouqiong didn't know the eldest son of the Tian family, so she didn't feel anything after hearing this. She just said "Oh" lightly: "Then why don't you go back to the prince's mansion and send someone to the palace to report this princess's current situation, and then let the emperor conduct a thorough investigation. This princess still wants to have a good time."
"Okay, I can't send anyone to deliver the message. I'm weak and need to recuperate!"
"...So I still have to run away and serve you?"
“Trouble!”
Duan Gouqiong: “…”
Duan Gouqiong was originally going to slowly leave Xianchang and head for the Prince's Mansion. Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen were a little surprised to learn that Duan Gouqiong had turned back.
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen were having dinner at this time. Seeing her, they asked in confusion, "Why are you back again? What happened?"
Duan Gouqiong had been busy all day and was very hungry. She walked to the table, sat down, and directly reached out to take the fried meatballs to eat. When she was half full, she told everything she had experienced.
Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen looked at each other. It was not difficult to understand why Jing Chengzhi saved Duan Gouqiong, but should Jing Chengzhi's route of exile be the same as Duan Gouqiong's?
"I changed my route to save an old man, but I didn't realize that he had evil intentions in his heart."
"I know you have a grudge against the Fourth Prince, but he helped me. I can't just ignore him, right? Please help me pass a message to the Emperor. He's injured now. How can he be exiled?"
Duan Gouqiong spoke up for him and pleaded for him. Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen did not raise any objections. Although they were skeptical about Jing Chengzhi, they could not insist that he was really cheating.
Jing Yuchen said: "I will take you into the palace!"
Duan Gouqiong did not object: "Okay!"
The two entered the palace, and Ni Yueshan took people to the restaurant to meet Jing Chengzhi!
Jing Chengzhi saw Ni Yueshan coming, and surprise flashed in his eyes: "Why is it you!"
Ni Yueshan was wearing a simple and refreshing dress and had her hair combed into a bun, exuding a cool and noble temperament. She stood in front of him and looked at him.
"I heard you were injured, so I brought someone to check your injury!"
Ni Yueshan glanced at the doctor behind him. The doctor walked forward and Jing Chengzhi knew he had no right to refuse.
He asked coldly: "Do you doubt me?"
Ni Yueshan simply curled her lips slightly, looking at him with a hint of vigilance: "I have no doubts about you, so do I have to trust you unconditionally?"
"Gou Qiong is a simple girl. I don't like her being tricked by others!"
Ni Yueshan's expression was indifferent, but her eyes were very cold, as if she could see through whatever Jing Chengzhi did with just one glance.
