The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

"Your Majesty, please don't let your imagination run wild. It's important to take care of your health."

However, Dean He's comfort was of no use at all.

"How long do you think I can take care of myself? The Queen and the Crown Prince have already fallen out. If it weren't for the incident at the Liu Mansion that disrupted her position, the Queen's faction alone would have been able to depose the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is now unpopular among the people, and Xiao Jiu is unwilling to clarify the matter, let alone assist the Crown Prince.

Xiao San is always keeping an eye on the prince, wanting to step on him. If Xiao Jiu hadn't revealed that he had embezzled a huge amount of money from the Ministry of Revenue and was in danger himself, the prince would have been attacked repeatedly and it would have been difficult for him to keep his position!

And there is Xiao Si, who is usually so honest. After the Fourth Princess died, he refused the concubine I chose for him, and he was actually entangled with the Liu family behind their backs.

The Ministry of Personnel has also been thrown into disarray. I don’t have anyone under my command now. I am truly alone!”

"Your Majesty, this is wrong. Doesn't Your Majesty still have His Royal Highness the War King?"

"Xiaojiu? If it weren't for him, would the court become like this? It's all his fault!" The emperor coughed excitedly.

"Your Majesty, please don't be angry." Dean He helped him sit up and patted his back to ease his anger.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. These were not caused by His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhan. If the princes had not done these things, would His Royal Highness have fabricated so many incidents to pin the blame on them? Especially the Third Prince embezzled so much money from the Ministry of Revenue. We have already obtained some evidence. If it turns out to be true, then, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what he did with all that money?"

How could the emperor not have thought of this? What he did not expect was that Xiao San and Xiao Wu were so bold. They had been supervising politics in the Ministry of Revenue in the past two years, and they had infiltrated the Ministry thoroughly in just two years. The emperor had always thought that Xiao Wu was a lazy guy, but it turned out that he had done a lot of bad things behind the scenes.

"Your Majesty, this country is afraid of corruption. Even if His Royal Highness Prince Zhan makes things bigger this time, it will help the court clean up the bureaucracy and get back to the right track. This is a great blessing for Lingyin Country, and the people are applauding!"

"Headmaster He, when did you stand on Xiaojiu's side? You just keep speaking for him!"

The emperor came to his senses and looked at the old man who had been with him for decades. He believed in the head of the academy, but he seemed to feel that he really had no vision and no ability to do anything. For so many years, he only knew that the princes were acting in their own camps, and he did not realize that there were so many problems hidden deep inside.

They hid it so well.

"Your Majesty, I, an old minister, have said too much." Dean He knelt down and kowtowed. He was just an imperial physician and had indeed said too much.

"You really think Xiaojiu did a good job, right?" the emperor asked with a sigh.

Dean He looked up at the emperor with an expression that seemed to want him to continue.

"Your Majesty, from the perspective of the monarch and the people, this is a good thing for the future development of the country. But for a minister of Prince Zhan, he has offended most of the officialdom and all the princes. His life is in danger. How can it be considered a good thing?"

"He doesn't use his brain, just like Chu Jian! He made enemies everywhere, and look at what happened to Chu Jian now. Even I don't believe what Xiao Wu said..." The emperor quickly shut up. He did not believe the fifth prince, but he could not express his opinion clearly.

Compared with a dead daughter-in-law, a son is more important, even if he is a bastard.

Dean He said nothing, pretending not to hear.

"Stand up now. You are old and don't need to kneel all the time. This is just a casual chat between you and me. Don't take it seriously."

"Yes." Dean He stood up and continued, "Your Majesty, you should take good care of yourself. You will be able to return to the court in less than ten days."

The emperor himself had had this feeling a long time ago. The pills specially developed for him by Chu Jian were really effective. They relieved the symptoms after taking them. There were both treatment and special conditioning pills. She also told all the prescriptions to Dean He, so that the Imperial Hospital could prepare the medicine directly according to the prescriptions.

Concubine Yun also had special pills made for her body. Even though such a big thing happened this time, Concubine Yun did not panic. It was all thanks to their first meeting.

When I think of Chu Jian, that girl has her troublesome aspects, but she also has her lovable aspects. As for Xiao Liu's saying that she has connections with the Nanbang people, the emperor doesn't believe it. Chu Jian's little thoughts are all written on her face, and her little IQ can't lay such a big net.

It was just that Jing Muyang was so affected by Chu Jian, which he really didn't like. It would be better if he died, so that Xiao Jiu wouldn't participate in the power grab. However, did Xiao Jiu's current actions mean that he wanted to seize power? If so, then...

The emperor felt a chill on his back. Half of the military power of Lingying Kingdom was in Xiaojiu's hands. Although most of them were stationed in the border areas and although the imperial guards' order had been taken back by the emperor, the token to mobilize the 100,000 troops in the capital camp was still in his hands.

The emperor rubbed his temple and sighed again, it would be better if Chu Jian died.

*

The first sight that gave the emperor a headache, the first sight that made Jing Muyang crazy, did he really die and turn into a floating corpse?

No, she is blessed by heaven and it won’t be that easy for her to die.

Take the time when Chu Jian jumped off the cliff. Although she entered the water feet first, the height difference still caused her to suffer severe internal injuries.

After entering the water, she took off her cotton coat with great pain. The surging river water kept pulling her to the bottom of the river. This was not the kind of water environment she had experienced in a swimming pool or a safe enclosed sea area. She had to exert a lot of effort to barely float to the surface and keep breathing.

However, no matter how hard she tried to hold on, the icy snow water soon froze her to the point of losing consciousness, and her thin body was quickly carried away by the river.

Fortunately, she was rescued by a large ship ten miles away. At that time, Jing Muyang had just come down the mountain and had not yet found a place so far away.

The big boat carrying her quickly sailed away along the rushing river, and when Jing Muyang came to look for her, she was gone.

Chu Jian was in a coma for four days at first. When she woke up, she found herself rescued. She was very surprised and immediately expressed her request to be sent to the capital. However, the maid who took care of her on the ship said that it was very far away from the capital, and they were a cargo ship and had to deliver the goods on time. They didn’t have much time to send her, and it was already good enough that they were willing to save her.

Sailors have a taboo and are unwilling to salvage water ghosts. If the ship owner hadn't kindly asked someone to confirm whether the ghost was still alive, these crew members would never check on a water ghost with its belly turned upside down.

There was nothing she could do when she first saw him. She could hardly get out of bed. Fortunately, another person on the ship who took care of her, Aunt Ruan, was very nice to her.

"Girl, don't be anxious. Wait until your injury is better."

"It's urgent, Auntie. Can you help me find out some news in the capital? My husband must be worried sick. I must go back as soon as possible." Chu Jian tried to get up while enduring the pain.

"We just passed the last port, and the next port will be three days later. And by then we will be in Nanbang. This news is not easy to get." Aunt Ruan held her down, "You have internal injuries, don't move."

"Nampang?" Chu Jian's heart was in her throat. Fortunately, she did not tell the people on the boat that she was Princess Zhan, otherwise she would be easily taken to the government when she arrived in Nanbang, and she would be finished.

"Yes, we are all from Nanbang, sailing to Lingyin Country. Miss, my master is very kind. Although you are from Lingyin Country, he has also told us not to neglect you. But we really can't go back so soon. Otherwise, please write a letter and send it to you when the ship docks, so that your family can rest assured."

"I... uh... okay." Chu Jian could only agree. There were a lot of people from Nanbang on the boat, so she had to be careful not to reveal her identity.

The letter needs to be written, but to whom should it be written? Where should the address be written?

You definitely can’t write about Prince Zhan’s Palace.

You can’t even write Jing Muyang’s name directly.
