The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Compared to the intense meeting between the emperor and Jing Muyang, Chu Jianke had already fallen asleep in the Buddhist temple. Although it was very cold, it did not prevent her from sleeping at all.

When Jing Muyang opened the door and entered, he saw her pulling the tablecloth on the altar to cover herself, and sleeping in the center of the circle of eternal lamps. The candlelight reflected her sleeping face, as if all the evil in the world had nothing to do with her.

The maids who entered the Buddhist temple with him opened their mouths wide, unable to breathe.

This princess is so fierce. No wonder she dares to talk back to the emperor. She doesn’t even take Buddha seriously!

The offerings have been almost eaten, and the ground is littered with fruit shells and cores, as if someone had played with them on purpose. It's such a sin, an offense to the gods. What should I do?

Jing Muyang turned around and motioned for them to go out. He tiptoed forward and moved all the eternal lamps away. Ha, it was amazing that she could think of this. She wasn't afraid that if she turned over, she would knock over the oil lamps and get burned.

He lay down gently and took her into his arms. The fox fur coat on his body was large and warm. Chu Jian fit perfectly in his arms, serving as both a cushion and a cover.

Feeling the warmth, Chu Jian sniffed. It was such a familiar smell and such a warm embrace in his dream.

"Mu Yang..." She leaned into his arms, found a comfortable position to rest her head on, put her arms around him, and continued to sleep as usual.

Even though it was freezing cold outside, Jing Muyang felt at ease at the moment. His princess was in his arms, calling his name even in her sleep.

With such happiness, what else could one ask for?

*

She had a very good sleep when she first met Jing Muyang, so much so that when she opened her eyes and saw Jing Muyang, she forgot where she was for a moment.

"Mu Yang?" She rubbed her eyes again, "Mu Yang!"

Chu Jian hugged him and was extremely happy, "Mu Yang, when did you come back?"

"Last night." Jing Muyang scratched her nose, "You slept so soundly last night that you wouldn't wake up even if someone carried you away."

"How could that be?" Chu Jian acted coquettishly and buried her head in the crook of his neck again.

"Mu Yang, why are you back?"

"I came back naturally after patrolling the military camp."

"Mu Yang, I seem to have gotten into trouble again. Nanny said that my father locked me up here and asked me to reflect on myself, but I don't know what I did wrong, and no one told me."

Chu Jian twisted her hair in her hands. She thought about it for a long time last night but couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Don't be afraid, nothing will happen to you as long as you haven't done anything wrong." Jing Muyang was too late and too anxious last night, and didn't get any information.

Outside Yonghe Palace, Qingshan and Qingmu entered the palace early in the morning. When Concubine Yun heard their names, she became furious. It seemed that Jing Muyang had entered the palace early in the morning.

Concubine Yun came out dressed neatly. "Tell me, in the Yangxin Palace or in the Imperial Study?"

"Your Highness, the prince is in Baohua Palace."

"Baohua Palace? Ridiculous! We first met in Baohua Palace, and the emperor hasn't even left the court yet. Prince Zhan came to the palace early in the morning and barged into Baohua Palace? Did he want to kidnap people?"

"My Lady, the prince entered the palace last night. The emperor punished him to go to Baohua Palace."

"It's even more ridiculous! It's just a small matter. Is he so anxious when they first met?" Concubine Yun stood up in anger.

"My Lady Concubine, please don't be angry. You should think of a way to save the prince. He returned to the city too late last night and used the military order to enter the palace. The emperor was furious. This is a serious crime! My Lady Concubine, please think of a way quickly!"

Qingshan knelt on the ground and didn't dare to look up. Last night, neither he nor Qingmu could stop his prince.

"Military Order? Why is Mu Yang so impulsive? Can the Military Order be used casually?"

"But the prince received news that the princess was trapped in the palace, and the imperial concubine did not save her. He thought the emperor wanted to kill her, so the prince rushed into the palace to rescue her. Your Majesty, please find a way quickly. This matter cannot be concealed. It will definitely cause a lot of turmoil in the front court. It is hard to guarantee that the emperor will not be controlled by the ministers. If it is publicly punished, there will be no way back!"

Compared to just now, Concubine Yun was almost unable to stand at this moment. Even if she had the military order, she must have important military intelligence to enter the palace directly to meet the emperor. She could imagine the emperor's anxious look in the middle of the night, but it turned out that Jing Muyang lied about the military intelligence, which was a capital crime!

"Let's go to Baohua Palace."

Concubine Yun was supported by two maids and barely made it to the Baohua Palace. The Buddhist hall in the Baohua Palace was in a mess, as if it had been looted. Jing Muyang and Chu Jian had already been summoned to the Yangxin Palace.

The emperor was also uncomfortable in the Golden Palace. He wanted to suppress the matter, but the news still leaked out. An imperial censor in the court reported King Zhan, saying that King Zhan had neglected his duties, lied about military intelligence, disrupted the court, shaken the morale of the army, and harmed the foundation of the country. In short, his words were quite serious.

The emperor was in a bad mood the whole time. He didn't know where the censor got the information from. He was just exaggerating. But he had no choice. The Censorate was set up to supervise and correct mistakes. He couldn't dismiss the case just because the impeachment was against the prince. Now he could only follow the court law. Xiaojiu didn't deserve the death penalty, after all, he didn't cause any accidents, but he would definitely be severely punished.

Alas, the emperor was in a headache because of the power given to the prince. The two brothers had never done anything together, but it was ruined like this.

All the princes and officials above the first rank were standing in the Yangxin Palace. As this was the first meeting, all the concubines from the harem upwards were summoned, even the Crown Princess and the Crown Princess' concubines were summoned, but at this time, not everyone was there.

Concubine Yun met the palace maid who was summoned on the way. She was the first concubine to arrive at the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"Your Majesty..." As soon as Concubine Yun entered the palace, she was frightened by the power. Even the Minister of Censorship came. She couldn't say any words to plead for mercy. If she had known that Chu Jian loved Mu Yang so much, she would have pleaded for Chu Jian yesterday. But it was too late now. It was obvious that she was going to punish Mu Yang.

Concubine Yun's legs went limp.

"Help the imperial concubine sit down." The emperor felt bad looking at the nervous and flustered imperial concubine Yun. He never expected that such a small matter of copying for others could lead to such a big event.

In the side hall of the Yangxin Palace, Chu Jian didn't know what was going on. She was still thinking that she would ask the emperor what she had done wrong and why she was locked up all day and all night for no reason. Not only was she freezing to death, but she was also not given any food or even water.

"Mu Yang, are you still going to the capital camp today?"

"No need. I have already finished my inspection yesterday and explained the precautions. I have arranged for people in the camp to make arrangements. It's okay." Jing Muyang held her hand and comforted her. "Just answer your father truthfully when he asks you something. Nothing will happen."

"Ah."
