He looked at the people in front of him and shouted sternly, "Stop!"
But the other party quickly climbed onto the roof and climbed over the walls.
In the end, because the other party was too familiar with the roads in the alley, he left everyone behind and disappeared without a trace.
Jing Yuchen was depressed because of his failure in capturing the criminal. As soon as he returned to the Prince's Mansion, the servants told him that someone from the palace had come and brought a message saying that from now on, General Wan would come to find Zou Yangyao and he was no longer needed.
In addition, the emperor will select an auspicious date for Qiu Tianmi and Jing Yuchen to get married, and Xian Chang will form an alliance with Tufan.
There was no joy on Jing Yuchen's face. He just nodded calmly and indifferently, and then ordered the servants in the mansion to cooperate with the people in the palace to arrange the Prince's Mansion.
After General Wan took over the matter of Zou Yangyao, he captured Zou Yangyao in just a few days.
When Zou Yangyao was escorted before the emperor, the emperor said anxiously to General Wan, "Untie him quickly! I came to find him because I want to continue to use him, not to let you treat him like a prisoner!"
The emperor's eyes flashed when they fell on Zou Yangyao: "Let me take a good look, this look is exactly like your beloved Zou!"
The emperor continued excitedly: "Tell me, you are Zou Yangyao!"
Zou Yangyao's resolute and three-dimensional facial features wrinkled together in a tangled frown, and then he sighed helplessly: "Your Majesty, I have already died once, and my reputation was notorious before. I don't want to go back to my previous identity."
"Furthermore, I have offended the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. My tendons in my hands and feet have been severed, making it impossible for me to lift anything heavy! I am unable to serve Your Majesty again. Please, Your Majesty, release me!"
As he said this, he kowtowed heavily, looking extremely sincere, asking to be let go.
The emperor, upon hearing him admit his identity, naturally grew even more excited. He personally helped Zou Yangyao up and said, "I've been searching for you so hard because I value you. You don't have to worry about the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess will soon be Tufan's princess, not Ni Yueshan. As for you, I can re-proclaim you a third-rank general!"
Zou Yangyao stared at the emperor blankly, "Your Majesty, my ability is limited. I am afraid that if I enter the court, I will disappoint you again..."
But the emperor looked at Zou Yangyao with incomparable sincerity: "I am actually curious, how did you manage to come back to life? I heard people say that you met Elder Xu who saved you?"
The emperor pulled Zou Yangyao to sit down, looking very attentive, and General Wan was completely ignored...
When Zou Yangyao walked out of the Southern Study, the imperial edict conferring the title on him was also issued. In addition, he was granted a mansion outside the palace, which was much more magnificent than the general's mansion before.
After the news came out, Jing Yuchen immediately requested to meet the emperor, and the emperor summoned Jing Yuchen.
"Father, Zou Yangyao repeatedly harbored ill intentions towards my son's Concubine Ni. Father, you cannot reuse him!"
"Hmph, I gave you so much time, but you still haven't found the man for me. As expected, after General Wan replaced him, he was found. Prince, shouldn't you explain to me why you couldn't catch him?"
"I am terrified. I have been searching for him with all my heart, but by sheer luck he escaped!"
Jing Yuchen lowered his head with an extremely sincere expression, but the emperor snorted in disdain.
"Alright, I believe you. You are my prince. If not you, who else can I believe? Now that Zou Yangyao has been found, you must help me get some information out of him. I want the life-saving medicine he once took!"
After receiving the order, Jing Yuchen retreated.
In the Prince's Mansion, when Jing Yuchen returned, he found that the servants were very efficient and had already arranged everything in an orderly manner.
There are lights and decorations everywhere, and the whole place is filled with joy.
In Ni Yueshan's courtyard, a man in green clothes was drinking wine one sip after another, as if he would never get tired of drinking or get drunk.
Ni Yueshan walked out of the room, sat down at the stone table, smelled the fragrance, took a deep breath, but still couldn't drink it.
"You're drinking in broad daylight, and you don't even need to swallow your food. What's wrong? Are you worried about something?"
Shao Lecheng's feminine, slightly tipsy face was filled with helplessness: "Yueshan, I have followed your instructions and caused many people in the city to complain about the tribute and tax increase. You have done enough for Jing Yuchen. They are about to get married..."
"Do you really want to witness their wedding with your own eyes? How about... I take you to Canglie. There won't be so many troubles in Canglie!"
Ni Yueshan just smiled lightly and didn't care much.
Seeing Ni Yueshan still able to laugh, Shao Lecheng's red cheeks flashed with surprise, and then he laughed too: "You are quite optimistic! However, I am very curious, what is in the treasure bag you gave to Zou Yangyao?"
"How come he showed up perfectly well, was captured, and was reinstated as a general? Were you simply trying to make amends with him? To let him be his old self again?"
As he spoke, he began to struggle: "But now that he has lost all that stuff, how can he live in peace with you? Aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against you?"
Although Shao Lecheng had drunk some wine and his tongue was a little tied, he still had a lot of worries for her. Ni Yueshan held her chin, looked at him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, you see you have aged a lot recently!"
Shao Lecheng's expression changed instantly, and he quickly touched his face. Ni Yueshan sighed helplessly: "Just wait, you will understand!"
After Zou Yangyao was reused by the emperor, he went to court like other ministers. However, Zou Yangyao's resurrection was full of legends, and everyone looked at him with strange eyes.
After the court was dismissed, Zou Yangyao was left alone. The emperor looked at him with a smile: "But now that I think about it, how did you come back to life? What kind of magic medicine did Elder Xu give you?"
Zou Yangyao stood in the palace, his expression looking very conflicted. The emperor then asked, "Do you have any concerns? Feel free to speak freely. This is my palace. Say whatever you want to say!"
Zou Yangyao sighed deeply before speaking, "Your Majesty, it is truly a great favor from Your Majesty that I am able to return to the court. However, there is a knot in my heart that I cannot untie!"
The emperor immediately asked, "What's the knot? Tell me, and I'll help you solve it!"
Zou Yangyao then slowly continued, "If I tell you, the emperor might be furious, but if I don't, I will never feel at ease!"
Zou Yangyao then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to hand Concubine Ni over to me for disposal. Otherwise, I will not be able to let it go!"
The emperor fully understood Zou Yangyao's thoughts when he was castrated and suffered the pain of poisoning!
