"Is that really the case?" Mei Ya couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled when she heard that. "Then when Mr. Fu sees Mr. Chen again in the future, I'm afraid they'll be able to chat for three days and three nights!"
"Master!" A few people were chatting in the room when they saw Song Duan walk in with a serious look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Mingwei saw that he had a serious expression, and he knew that something serious might have happened, so his face darkened.
"Master, there were some Imperial Guards here just now," Song Duan bowed. When he said this, his face was filled with indignation. "The Imperial Guards were ordered by Prince Rong to come and pass on the imperial decree that Master colluded with the Western King to kill the Fourth Prince. When the Emperor learned the truth, he was furious, so Master fell ill and couldn't get up. Master knew that the matter was exposed, so he fled the capital in a hurry. Therefore, Prince Rong ordered the Imperial Guards to pass on the imperial decree to various places in the Great Zhou, and ordered the governors of various places to strictly investigate Master's whereabouts. Once discovered, they must be tied up and sent to the capital at full speed, and handed over to the Emperor to be punished personally. If anyone dares to hide Master, they will be punished for treason."
"Fortunately, we escaped from the capital overnight, otherwise we would have been identified as the murderer of the Fourth Prince and might even have been beheaded," Mei Ya looked at Zhong Mingwei with emotion, and sighed, "Your Third Brother is really good at confusing right and wrong. It was clearly him who planned to kill his own brother, but now he has put the blame on you, the Prince of Pingxi. I'm afraid it won't be long before everyone in the Great Zhou knows that you, the eldest prince, colluded with the Prince of Pingxi to murder the Fourth Prince. By then, you, the Prince of Pingxi, won't be able to explain yourself even if you have a lot of mouths. If you raise an army again, you will really become a thief."
"Madam, we can't let Prince Rong keep throwing dirty water on us!" Song Duan was anxious. "He was a traitor who forced the emperor to abdicate, but now he has become a perfect man who helps his father and avenges his brother! If this continues, my reputation with the Prince of Pingxi will be hard to restore. It's really like what Madam said. In the end, I will become a traitor that everyone wants to kill!"
Fu Zhongtian also said with a heavy face: "Master, we have to find a way to reverse the situation. If we let Prince Rong keep throwing dirty water on us without fighting back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to clear ourselves from the blame in the future."
"Yes, we can't just keep shrinking our necks and passively take the beating," Zhong Mingwei pursed his lips and said. He took a sip of tea and looked at Pang Yi again, "Pang Yi, go find Chen Qingxuan."
"Yes, I obey your command!" Pang Yi didn't understand what was going on, but he was still busy and bent down to look for Chen Qingxuan.
"Why did you call Mr. Chen over?" Meiya was very curious, "Can Mr. Chen help?"
"Don't underestimate Mr. Chen, he is a very good writer," Zhong Mingwei said with a smile, and looked at Fu Zhongtian, "Master Fu, find an excuse to let Jiayou and his family return to Zhili. He is now in the capital, and he is your son. I am afraid that he is being watched and it is inconvenient for him to leave Beijing. Think of a way to let his family return to Zhili safely."
"Yes, I obey your command," Fu Zhongtian nodded hurriedly, thinking for a while, and then said, "It's not difficult. The Ghost Festival is coming soon, Jiayou must bring his wife and children back to Zhili to pay homage to his ancestors. Besides, my father-in-law passed away at the beginning of the year, and my wife has been depressed. Letting Jiayou and his family return to Zhili a few days in advance will not arouse suspicion."
"Well, that's good, let's do it." Zhong Mingwei nodded.
"Yes, I will send someone to deliver the letter to the capital right away." Fu Zhongtian immediately got up and went back to the front yard.
"Master, why are you so anxious to find Master Fu back?" Song Duan looked curious.
"Chen Qingxuan is the top scorer in this year's imperial examination, Fang Kaiwen is the second place, and Fu Jiayou is the third place. These three people are the most sought-after talents in the Great Zhou today. They are the role models in the eyes of thousands of students in the Great Zhou and the objects of admiration in their hearts." Zhong Mingwei said slowly.
