But what no one knows is that after the servant in the Liu Mansion left, Deputy General Liu and the guard in the house became quiet.

"Okay, everyone is gone. Why are you pretending?"

The guard stood up and kicked 'Vice General Liu' in the leg, and 'Vice General Liu', who was leaning on the cushion unable to stand, jumped up.

"How dare you kick me, General! I think you're looking for a fight!"

The guard sneered, "I pretended to hide you."

As he said that, he raised his hand and struck towards the face of 'Vice General Liu', but don't catch it before your fist touches 'Vice General Liu'.

'Vice General Liu' showed a smile and pushed the guard's fist away.

He raised his hand to lift the mask off his face, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I said, when you made this thing, didn't you know to make it thinner? It's so uncomfortable when it sticks to your face."

The guard snorted and retracted his hand.

"What do you know? If this thing is thin, it won't stick to your face at all."

"I advise you to bring it with you. If you mess up the general's affairs, be careful with military law."

Thinking of Vice General Liu's instructions before leaving, the person leaning on the bed felt a shiver in his heart and once again brought the thing in his hand to his face.

Sima Lian was right to suspect that Vice General Liu had indeed made a scene with the emperor.

What Sima Lian didn't know was that Vice General Liu had already left Beijing when he was recovering from his illness.

In the palace, the emperor couldn't help but chuckled when he heard the secret guard's report.

"Being able to place people into Vice General Liu's home, it seems that my son is not mediocre."

Liao Cheng on the side lowered his head and did not dare to speak. What the emperor disliked the most was the fight between princes.

Now the Eighth Prince actually placed someone in Vice General Liu's house, and was noticed by the secret guards in the palace. He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

Liao Cheng has been increasingly unable to see through the emperor recently, and he does not dare to speak rashly at this time.

Early the next morning, Princess Chaoyang's subordinates approached Sima Lian.

"What? Did the princess and the prince detect anything abnormal?"

The visitor noticed that Sima Lian seemed a little anxious and did not dare to hide it.

"Back to Prime Minister, Your Majesty sent someone to inquire last night. Vice General Liu is injured and can't do anything now. Please don't worry, Prime Minister."

Sima Lian frowned when he heard this.

He always felt that something was wrong, but everyone in the Eighth Prince's residence said that Vice General Liu was recuperating at home. Even if he had more suspicions, he might not have any evidence.

"The princess also said that the prime minister should be more careful during these times and not go out and do anything he shouldn't do, so as not to be suspected."

Sima Lian was stunned and realized that this was Princess Chaoyang who was reminding him.

He sighed and finally nodded.

Seeing Princess Chaoyang's subordinates leave, Sima Lian couldn't help but frown.

The rebellion was the purpose of Princess Chaoyang and the Eighth Prince, not Sima Lian.

He is only doing it for his son, and for this reason, he must never let any danger appear.

Thinking of this, Sima Lian also darkened his face and wrote on the desk for a moment before stuffing the letter into the envelope.

"Come here, deliver the letter to Princess Chaoyang at night. Don't let anyone discover you."

"Yes."

When Princess Chaoyang got up at midnight, she couldn't help but feel a little angry when she looked at the letter in her hand.

"Why is Prime Minister Sima so suspicious? Your Majesty has already sent someone to investigate. What else can he be suspicious of?"

The Eighth Prince also saw the worry of Sima Lian, the letter boss, and knew that Princess Chaoyang was grieving for him, so he couldn't help but hug the person in his arms a little tighter.

"Prime Minister Sima is very concerned about his son, and it is reasonable to be more worried."

Princess Chaoyang snorted lightly and buried her head in the Eighth Prince's arms.

"But he can't be so suspicious of you. The people in Vice General Liu's house are people you have placed in place for many years. He risked his life to find out information for him. He is just ungrateful, but he still doubts you."

The Eighth Prince kissed Princess Chaoyang on her forehead, "It doesn't matter, Prime Minister Sima is a rare talent, otherwise my father would not have insisted on keeping him."

"If I really take that position in the future, Prime Minister Sima's help will be indispensable."

Princess Chaoyang then responded with dissatisfaction: "In that case, I will go on behalf of the prince to make Prime Minister Sima feel at ease."

The Eighth Prince personally put on Princess Chaoyang's clothes and hugged her before leaving.

"Then I'll trouble Rong'er."

Chaoyang Princess Ni glanced at the Eighth Prince, "It is Rong'er's honor to work for the Prince."

Seeing Princess Chaoyang leaving with her maid, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but sigh.

"This king can get such help from Princess Chaoyang, and I will be satisfied in this life."

The attendants on the side also sighed with emotion: "Princess Chaoyang is a hero among women, and only someone like the prince can win Princess Chaoyang's heart."

Hearing this, the Eighth Prince couldn't help but chuckle, his eyes filled with pride that could not be concealed.

The Eighth Prince was naturally happy that Princess Chaoyang could choose to marry him.

This person who used to be the concern of countless nobles in the capital has now entered his residence. How could he be unhappy?

"When daybreak, someone will go to the princess and tell her that Princess Chaoyang has been troubled these days, so there is no need to say hello."

"Yes."

Seeing the Eighth Prince go back to rest, the attendant became more determined to be more respectful to the concubine in the future.

Princess Chaoyang's title is the concubine, but now it looks like she is going to overtake the princess.

In Sima Mansion, Prime Minister Sima was waiting anxiously in the study.It wasn't until the guard's call came from outside the door that he strode forward.

"Please quickly invite Princess Chaoyang to come in."

As soon as Princess Chaoyang entered the door, she saw the anxious look on Sima Lian's face and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Why is Prime Minister Sima so anxious? Didn't you send someone to tell the Prime Minister today? The prince's people have already gone to inquire about it, and there is nothing unusual in the Liu Mansion."

After Sima Lian asked Princess Chaoyang to sit down, he sighed helplessly.

"To be fair to the princess, I am worried about my son, so I have to worry too much."

Sima Lian's honesty made Princess Chaoyang somewhat satisfied.

Remembering that the Eighth Prince had said that Sima Lian was a useful talent, he didn't complain about him anymore.

"Can Prime Minister Sima recognize this thing?"

Seeing what Princess Chaoyang took out, Sima Lian was a little confused for a while.

But when he took the round jade pendant in his hand and saw the patterns on it, his eyes widened in shock.

"Princess Princess, this...this is..."

Princess Chaoyang looked at Sima Lian and recognized him, then she took a sip of tea with a tea cup.

"As you can see, Prime Minister Sima, this is a token of Prince Fanbangluye."

Hearing Princess Chaoyang's admission with his own ears, Sima Lian's breathing quickened a bit.
