"Qingfeng rushed back when he heard that the Crown Princess was in Xianchang."
After answering, he looked behind him with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to kill someone, and his eyes were filled with strong hostility.
Qiu Tianmi gnashed her teeth and looked at him sharply, "You're just a dog, how dare you bark in front of this princess!"
She roared angrily and looked at the palace maid beside her: "This princess has been despised."
The palace servant immediately understood and rushed forward again.
Outside the palace, Jing Yuchen returned, and the servants reported anxiously: "Prince, it's bad. Princess Tianmi took people to look for Concubine Ni, but I heard that a fight broke out!"
Jing Yuchen frowned and quickened his pace towards the courtyard where Ni Yueshan was.
Qingfeng mercilessly knocked down the palace guards who were about to attack Ni Yueshan. With a hint of sarcasm in his expression, he said, "Get up! I haven't even drawn my sword yet."
Qiu Tianmi's once-beautiful face gradually lost its color. She bit her lip and roared, "Rebellion, rebellion! This princess came here to marry a foreign princess! If you attack me today, I will definitely report this to your emperor and have him punish you!"
Just as she finished her roar, she saw someone rushing towards her out of the corner of her eye. She immediately screamed "Ouch" and fell to the ground.
The person was lying on the ground, with a look of pain on his face, looking at Ni Yueshan in surprise: "You, you are just a concubine, how dare you let your servants tease me and hurt me..."
However, as he spoke, his eyes turned red in an instant, and his face was filled with shame and anger.
Jing Yuchen, who had just walked over, happened to see this scene. He walked over quickly, squatted beside Qiu Tianmi, and helped her up. Qiu Tianmi pretended to fall into Jing Yuchen's arms: "Prince, your concubine is so fierce. She, I, I was just strolling around the Prince's Mansion and passed by here, and she attacked me..."
As she spoke, she covered her cheeks. To outsiders, they would think she had been hit in the face.
Jing Yuchen glanced at her coldly. Ni Yueshan didn't panic, but said calmly, "This princess's acting is really good, but how do you maintain your face? I hit you, but there's no slap mark left? Please, when you frame someone, can you be willing to spend a little more money?"
"You are so righteous after beating someone up?" Jing Yuchen seemed angry and looked at Ni Yueshan sharply.
Ni Yueshan finally shut up. Qingfeng, standing in front of Ni Yueshan, couldn't help but say, "Prince, Qingfeng saw clearly that it was this princess who started the trouble first. Concubine Ni did nothing!"
Jing Yuchen held Qiu Tianmi in his arms, his eyes sweeping across the crowd before he said coldly, "Concubine Ni, you've become arrogant due to your favor. Considering that you bore this prince a child, I will not punish you severely for now. However, any mistakes you've made will be borne by me!"
He looked at Qiu Tianmi in his arms and asked with concern: "Princess, what do you want to do with them?"
Qiu Tianmi fell into Jing Yuchen's arms, with a look of grievance and depression on her face. Her black and white eyes were filled with mist, making her look like a wronged little deer, so pitiful.
She shook her head: "How dare I casually dismiss the people in the Prince's Mansion? Prince, I want to go back and rest!"
Her voice was timid, without any arrogance at all. How could she sound like someone who was here to cause trouble?
Jing Yuchen's gaze gradually grew sharper as he turned to Ni Yueshan: "I'll punish you by making you copy the women's training every day until you give birth to a child!"
Then he looked at Qiu Tianmi's palace servants and warned them, "Slap them in the face, thirty each!"
After he finished speaking, he walked out with Qiu Tianmi in his arms. He took good care of her. From the perspective of outsiders, it seemed that Ni Yueshan had fallen out of favor.
Qingfeng and Qingluan stood beside Ni Yueshan, looking troubled: "Master, why don't you explain? I believe the prince will believe you!"
After Qiu Tianmi followed Jing Yuchen away, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Prince, do you believe me?"
Jing Yuchen's devilish face gradually turned serious. "I saw you fall to the ground with my own eyes. How could this be false? Don't worry, I will punish her severely after she gives birth to the child."
Qiu Tianmi's eyes flickered, half believing and half doubting.

On the streets of the capital, many people were complaining, and a rumor spread that someone had seen the long-dead Zou Yangyao on the street...
"This person just looks similar. When Zou Yangyao died of poisoning, the incident caused a huge uproar. How could he not be really dead? He must be someone similar!"
In the following days, the rumors became more and more outrageous. Some people even said that Zou Yangyao had met Mr. Xu, who gave him a magic pill that brought him back to life!
Originally everyone thought that the man was not Zou Yangyao, but just looked similar. However, since the news was related to Mr. Xu, people had to believe it a little.
In the southern study, Jing Yuchen was summoned by the emperor. The emperor looked at Jing Yuchen with some excitement: "When Elder Xu examined your leg, you took his medicine and it was only then that you got better. Do you think Elder Xu is really an immortal? Does he have a pill that can bring the dead back to life?"
"Father, these are just rumors. How could you believe them?"
The emperor snorted, "You've seen the magic of Old Xu before. First it was the gold mine, then your leg, and now it's Zou Yangyao!"
The emperor seemed to have thought of something and immediately urged, "Go, in Xianchang Territory, no matter what method you use, find Zou Yangyao for me. I want to ask him personally if he is related to Old Xu!"
"If it's really related to Old Xu, why would I worry about the tribute? Go find it!"
Jing Yuchen took the order and retreated to look for someone.
On the street, soldiers dispersed, holding up portraits and asking people one by one: "Have you seen the person in this painting?"
Inside the Crown Prince's Mansion, Qingfeng informed Ni Yueshan of all the news he had learned. Ni Yueshan was surprisingly not surprised at all. Qingfeng asked curiously, "Master, wasn't it Qingdie who personally coated Zou Yangyao's arrow with poison? It was definitely highly toxic!"
When talking about Qingdie, Ni Yueshan fell silent, and Qingfeng also fell silent belatedly.
Finally, Qingfeng knelt on the ground and said, "Qingfeng is guilty of mentioning Qingdie and making you sad!"
Ni Yueshan shook his head: "I'm fine. Qingdie died at the hands of General Wan. This vengeance will be avenged sooner or later!"
Seeing Ni Yueshan's determined expression, Qingfeng naturally believed that Ni Yueshan would avenge Qingdie.
"Then what does the master think about the matter of Zou Yangyao?"
Ni Yueshan's lips curled up slightly: "The emperor is eager to find Zou Yangyao, this is a good thing! You and I don't have to do anything!"
Qingfeng was a little confused: "Master, aren't you afraid that Zou Yangyao will be reused by the emperor and will seek revenge?"
Ni Yueshan responded with great confidence: "I'm not afraid."
After searching for about ten days, Jing Yuchen finally locked onto a target and took his men to chase after him.
