He is intelligent and resourceful, but unfortunately, he is a womanizer. However, he was born into royalty; once he ascends to the throne, all the women of the Dragon Yuan Kingdom will be his…
Ning Bao and Su Jingshu came out of the palace and had only gone halfway when they encountered Zhou Chengxing, who was hurriedly riding a horse to greet them.
Zhou Chengxing jumped directly onto the carriage, anxiously looking at Ning Bao and Su Jingshu.
"I heard something happened in the palace. How are you? Are you injured?"
Su Jingshu shook her head.
"No, we managed to escape today. It's all thanks to our daughter's cleverness and ability, otherwise we don't know what kind of mess those people would have made of us."
Zhou Chengxing's eyes turned cold.
"Wife, do you mean they really intend to scheme against our Ningbao today?"
"That's right! This palace banquet today was prepared for us." Su Jingshu angrily recounted to Zhou Chengxing everything that had happened in the palace that day.
"What a Liu family!"
What a remarkable Consort Liu!
Hearing Su Jingshu's words, Zhou Chengxing clenched his fists so tightly that the veins bulged.
"In the past, I disdained taking sides, and I didn't want to participate in the struggle for the throne. I also disdained to argue with these civil officials. Now it seems that my forbearance has made them think that I, Zhou Chengxing, am easy to bully."
It seems I need to do something, otherwise they'll still think I, Zhou Chengxing, am a toothless tiger who's easy to bully.
After sending Ning Bao and Su Jingshu back to the mansion, Zhou Chengxing hurriedly went to his study.
Before long, several secret letters were sent out from Zhou Chengxing's study, and several advisors also entered the study at the same time.
Zhou Chengxing didn't come out of his study until late at night.
The next day, several important officials from Consort Liu's faction were dismissed.
One of them was even Madam Liu's elder brother from her maternal family, which made Madam Liu very angry.
Her daughter had just gotten into trouble, and now her family's home had been ransacked.
She had no time to comfort Liu Xiulan and hurriedly took the money to help her family make arrangements.
Fortunately, Consort Liu still had some consideration for her family, and the imperial decree for the marriage between Liu Xiulan and the Third Prince was delivered to the Liu residence as scheduled.
Upon receiving the imperial decree for the marriage, Lady Liu had no time to grieve for her family and immediately began preparing for Liu Xiulan's wedding.
She was afraid that things might change if the delay went on too long, and she was also worried that Liu Xiulan might get pregnant.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, it's best to get married sooner rather than later.
When Ning Bao heard about the imperial decree for Liu Jingshu and the Third Prince's marriage, she couldn't help but scoff.
"Ha! They're actually quite a good match!"
Mules and dogs are a perfect match!
This will prevent them from going and causing trouble for others.

Izumo Village.
Shen Junshan had already received a letter from Zhou Chengxing in the capital, delivered by a flying eagle. After reading the letter, he sat on the back mountain for a long time.
He didn't head home until his wife, Liu Qingru, called him for dinner. He had mixed feelings about it.
Liu Qingru noticed that her husband had been acting strangely ever since he received the letter from the capital.
She was also a little worried.
"Husband, has something happened to Ningbao?"
You seem a bit preoccupied today. If you're worried about Ningbao, go to the capital to check on her. To be honest, I'm a little worried myself.
Shen Junshan pondered for a moment,
“It’s not Ningbao who’s in trouble, it’s us, it’s our family who’s in trouble.”
