Afterwards, Shao Lecheng told Jing Yuchen everything and asked Jing Yuchen to make a decision quickly.
"Let's go back and get some soldiers. Let's suppress the rumors. You've been trying to find someone here, but to no avail!"
Although Jing Yuchen was very resistant in his heart, he finally nodded.
The team rushed back to the capital without slowing down. Jing Yuchen chose to ride a horse. After three days and three nights, Jing Yuchen returned to the capital.
But before entering the palace, a eunuch came to ask for an audience.
"Prince, I am the Queen's servant. The Queen has sent me here to warn you that the Crown Princess's reputation will be ruined and she will be divorced. For the sake of the royal family's dignity, you must not stand up to the Emperor!"
Jing Yuchen's eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes were cold, making the eunuch's scalp numb. The eunuch finally said helplessly, "Prince, think about it yourself. This old servant has already conveyed the message to you!"
Afterwards, Jing Yuchen went to the palace, but what was unexpected was that there was a woman following him.
The woman was wearing an ice-blue long dress, her hair was simply tied up, and her face was covered by a veil of the same color, making it difficult to see her appearance clearly. But was that figure Ni Yueshan?
Afterwards, the two men knelt down in front of the emperor. The emperor looked at the two kneeling men majestically. This time there was no calmness, only storms and rain.
He smashed the inkstone on the table and shouted angrily, "Jing Yuchen, what do you think of the country? Where do you place the position of the crown prince?"
The emperor was furious, and the palace servants knelt on the ground in panic, not daring to make any sound.
Finally, the emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman: "Yueshan?"
The woman being questioned raised her head, looked at the emperor, and then spoke: "I am useless. I was captured by Tufan's people and forced to tell them about the gold mine. But how can I find the location of another gold mine? I have brought shame to the royal family!"
She kowtowed to the emperor, who looked at her strangely and asked, "Why are you wearing a veil?"
"When forcing a confession, you scratched my face. Now, my face is hideous..."
There was only suspicion in the emperor's eyes. He stared at her closely, wanting to see more clearly, but the woman kept her head down.
"Have you had the imperial physician examine it?"
"Replying to Father, the medicine has been applied now, and we just need to wait for the wound to heal!"
"Was it really done by the Tufan people?"
The emperor's voice was majestic, and he obviously did not easily choose to believe the woman in front of him. The woman responded honestly: "Yes!"
Outside the palace, a palace servant came over and said, "Your Majesty, the prince outside the palace requests to see you!"
The emperor looked displeased, but he finally compromised and said, "Let someone in!"
Soon, Shao Lecheng came from outside the hall and knelt down: "Your son greets your father!"
The emperor looked at him with a cold look in his eyes: "What's the matter?"
"Father, I beg you to send troops to attack Tufan. It's one thing for the Tufan people to have kidnapped the Crown Princess, but they even went after my own princess. The Tufan are too arrogant and have gone crazy over the gold mines!"
"But there is only one gold mine. Can I and others create a new one?"
The emperor didn't expect the result to be like this?
How come Ni Yueshan and Duan Gouqiong were arrested together, and Ni Yueshan's face was disfigured?
Although he was surprised, the emperor soon felt relieved. This was a good thing as it would not have any impact on the royal reputation. Even if this person was a fake Ni Yueshan, he still successfully helped the royal family and solved the reputation problem.
As for Jing Yuchen, apart from caring about Ni Yueshan too much, there is no problem with anything else. This matter was handled properly!
The emperor was a little tired. "I can't send troops to attack Tufan on my own. I need to discuss this with my ministers. You all, go back and have a good rest!"
After Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng left together, they looked at each other and had to say, it was a close call!
Shao Lecheng glanced at Xiao Chuer and asked curiously, "Is this a clever move of yours?"
"It was the prince's idea."
Her answer was indifferent, as if she didn't care much.
Jing Yuchen looked at her and finally said, "Thank you for your hard work. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me!"
When Shao Lecheng heard this, his eyes lit up instantly: "I helped too? I acted! Why don't you reward me?"
Jing Yuchen looked at him with displeasure in his eyes: "Then look at her face!"
Afterwards, Jing Yuchen walked away quickly, leaving Shao Lecheng looking at his disappearing figure in surprise.
He looked at Xiao Chu'er: "What does the prince mean? What's wrong with your face?"
Xiao Chu'er lowered her head and said nothing. Out of curiosity, Shao Lecheng took off her veil, but he was surprised when he saw her.
Xiao Chuer then explained: "It was to prevent the emperor from asking me to uncover my face and see my true appearance, so I scratched my face in advance..."
Shao Lecheng swallowed his saliva and asked, "Is this the prince's idea?"
"Well, although it's a bit cruel, this method does work, and I'm willing to do it. The prince has already promised to take care of those villagers for the rest of their lives! I don't feel dissatisfied at all!"
She put her veil back on and walked out of the palace.
Shao Lecheng watched Xiao Chu'er leaving with his eyes slightly narrowed. It must be said that Xiao Chu'er and Ni Yueshan both had a cool and aloof temperament, and their eyes were both so beautiful. They looked really alike even with veils on!
He sighed. Such a beautiful woman was gone. Jing Yuchen really didn't know how to be gentle with women?
After leaving the palace, Xiao Chuer naturally lived in the Prince's Mansion as Ni Yueshan, but the Prince's Mansion was too quiet, so she was called to the living room by the servants.
