Chapter 348 The Prince Was So Annoyed That He Laughed
This time, Yang Chengchen really didn't know that his father was not far away. He was catching up with Zhao Houyang! He was also thinking to himself, for some reason, it seemed that the management had been much stricter recently. He wondered if it was just his illusion.
The prince and Zhao Lingmeng were also not far away, diligently assembling weapons and chatting idly. Occasionally, he'd glance up at the children across the street. By the time they'd finished assembling all the parts they'd been assigned, it was getting late. They sent their men off to hand in their tasks, and Zhao Lingmeng prepared to return to the courtyard for bed.
"Imperial sister, please go back! I'm going to see General Sun."
When Zhao Lingmeng heard the prince say this, he nodded without hesitation, "Royal brother, remember to take care of the people and don't go anywhere alone."
"Don't worry, I know!"
Zhao Ling dreamed that the prince had agreed. She bowed to him and left with her men. She had no intention of wandering around. Master Fan must have been busy these past two days! He probably didn't have time to be her bodyguard, so she decided not to cause him any trouble.
The prince actually took people to the dungeon to see General Sun. Although he believed what Funing said, as a prince, he couldn't just listen to one side of the story and had to listen to what the other person said.
Ever since General Sun was imprisoned in the dungeon, he hated Princess Funing to the core. He had always hated the powerful, but now he hated them even more, cursing them every day in the dungeon.
The people around him who followed him listened to Lord Sun's scolding and tacitly distanced themselves from him. They all had families and children, and it was fine if they couldn't make a living, but they couldn't be implicated in such a thing. This led to a polarized situation in the dungeon.
When Lord Sun saw them like this, he became even angrier and cursed them even more harshly.
This was the scene that Crown Prince Yang Jingchen saw when he brought his men in: a middle-aged man was yelling and cursing at the top of his lungs, while another dozen or so people were trembling and hiding on the other side of the dungeon.
"Wow! So Lord Sun has even shown off his power in the dungeon!"
Seeing such a court official, Yang Jingchen really couldn't control his mouth. If it weren't for his rationality reminding him, he would have wanted to turn around and leave.
"Who do you think you are? You cowards have no right to interfere in the affairs of this general..."
General Sun thought that it was General Liu's men who had arrived, so he scolded them mercilessly.
Before he finished cursing, he felt that everyone around him was staring at him in silence. He turned around casually and saw that it was Crown Prince Yang Jingchen and his men standing outside the cell. He was so scared that sweat immediately fell on his face. He knelt on the ground with a thud, "Your Highness, I...I didn't know it was you!"
"Oh, I have finally witnessed the power of Lord Sun. He is indeed worthy of your rank."
The prince was thinking at this moment, regardless of whether this incident was General Sun's fault or not. He didn't know if his father would dare to use him to lead the army in the future. In any case, he didn't dare. He really didn't trust this kind of character and looked down on him.
General Sun also saw the prince's expression at this time, and knew that his words had offended the prince. He immediately kowtowed and apologized, "I dare not, I am guilty!"
Although General Sun claimed to be guilty, he was not particularly afraid. He was narcissistic and believed that the emperor had received the news of his imprisonment and sent the prince to rescue him.
The prince did not feel happy when he saw General Sun's changed attitude towards him. In fact, compared with his previous harsh attitude towards his subordinates, he felt quite frightened.
He waved his hand and asked the person who had been called to open the prison door to retreat.
There were still some close friends around the prince. Seeing that the prince was about to talk outside the door, they immediately moved a chair over and asked the prince to sit down outside the dungeon door.
The Crown Prince didn't dislike the environment here. Instead, he sat down slowly and said, "Tell me! Father asked you to assist Princess Funing with her work. How did you end up in this dungeon? Tell me clearly, or you won't say I didn't give you a chance."
"Your Highness, you can see clearly that the Princess has gone too far, otherwise I wouldn't be so angry and speak without thinking."
"Oh?" The prince smiled meaningfully. He didn't say whether he believed it or not.
When General Sun saw the prince's smile, he thought he had a chance, so he became a lot bolder.
"Your Highness, you don't know. I just wanted to try the people around the Princess, but the Princess flatly refused. Isn't it said that those who break the law are subject to the same punishment as the common people? The Princess isn't even willing to put in the effort..."
"Do you have any evidence? The eldest princess holds a super-class title. The people around her are not ordinary slaves, and not everyone can be interrogated."
Seeing that the Crown Prince had already said this, General Sun suddenly blurted out, "Your Highness, I have evidence!"
This actually piqued the prince's interest. "Oh? What evidence? Show it to me!"
"Your Highness, if you ask me to interrogate the people around the Princess, I will definitely produce evidence. And yesterday, only Princess Funing left the Arsenal, not anyone else. And Lord Zhao is outrageous. He relied on his past military achievements to allow his daughter to come to a place like the Arsenal. It's simply disgraceful."
General Sun still had some rationality at this time and did not dare to directly say that it was Princess Funing who took it. He thought that if he pointed at the people around her, there should be no problem.
I can only say that it is somewhat rational, but not much.
Crown Prince Yang Jingchen was thankful that he had already heard the story from Funing today, which had saved him from a rage. He also wanted to ask Funing the same question he had asked him: could it be that these were all the remaining tricks in the Jing Kingdom's court?
"Almost all the people around Princess Funing are sent by the Emperor. Do you still agree with your point of view?"
When General Sun heard what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, he was stunned. Even if he was as stubborn as a stickler, he would not dare to say that there was something wrong with the Emperor's people.
"There must be someone who is not the emperor!" General Sun felt that he had only one way to go now, or he would have to admit that he was a fool. What future would he have?
The prince smiled silently upon hearing this. He kept reminding himself not to argue with a fool. He felt that when he returned to Yuanjing, he would have his father thoroughly investigate whether this man's military achievements were genuine. With that kind of brain, he really couldn't believe he could have won so many battles.
In fact, General Sun's rise to his current position was truly due to his military achievements. When he was weaker, he would definitely do whatever the generals above him told him to do. He was also promoted along the way by noble people who thought he was a brave warrior and a good candidate. As for his temper, there are really few people in the army who have good tempers.
