Captain Zhu treated his wounds at the Princess's residence, changed his clothes, and packed up. He came to say goodbye to Su Fengyi:

"I have truly made a fool of myself today, Your Highness."

Su Fengyi smiled and said:

"What are you talking about, Captain Zhu? He is one of us, and we just have one set of clothes."

Now that he was here, Captain Zhu was no longer hesitant, but he mustered up his courage and couldn't help asking:

"Today, the streets are full of rumors about the Northern Barbarians. I guess Liu An must have revived and spread these rumors..."

Su Fengyi had been waiting for Captain Zhu to come today, and had been waiting for Captain Zhu to ask this question.

If Captain Zhu had not come, he would have felt that he had been taken a disadvantage and would have had some resentment in his heart. The short-lived cooperation between the two would have ended here, and they would have gone their separate ways from now on. She would have found another suitable candidate.

If he came without asking, it must be that he was still reluctant to give up the benefits of cooperating with the princess. Today, she would still let Wutong send him out politely to maintain the cooperative relationship with him which was thinner than paper.

But he asked anyway. He dared to come and asked, which means that the time has come.

Su Fengyi didn't wait for Captain Zhu to finish his roundabout words and said directly:

"No, it's not Liu An, it's me. It's not a rumor, it's the truth.

What, do you think this news shouldn't be spread?"

Captain Zhu was really not used to the princess' sudden direct speech.

Before Zhu Qi could reply, Su Fengyi suddenly stopped smiling and said seriously:

"Zhu Qi, you disappoint me so much!

This important news is given to you alone by the palace. You are given one night to make achievements, and I am also giving him one night to show his merits. One night is enough to pass on the news to the emperor a thousand eight hundred times.

When the country is in crisis, he hides the truth and does not want to relieve the emperor's worries. Instead, he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits. Do I have to indulge him?

And you, Zhu Qi, cannot distinguish right from wrong and help the tyrant to commit atrocities. Is this your duty as a subject? ?

I want to ask you, are you a slave of Qiao Gui, or a minister of the Great Mu Dynasty? "

The princess scolded him so harshly, and each sentence was so heartbreaking that Zhu Qianhu was completely unprepared. He was stunned and fell to his knees:

"I am guilty, Your Highness, please calm down, Your Highness, please calm down, Your Highness, please punish me."

Su Fengyi sneered:

"A man's knees are made of gold. I think your bones are probably made of dough, they are so soft.

Put away your behavior, get out of here, go back to the East Factory, wag your tail to your master and beg him to give you another half bowl of rice."

When Qiao Gui scolded him to get out, Captain Zhu was a veteran and was used to it, so he was numb inside.

But when the eldest princess mocked him and told him to get out, he felt furious.

That fire was called shame, something he thought he no longer had.

When he knelt down and begged Qiao Gui to calm down, he actually didn't care whether the factory manager really calmed down.

But at this moment, when he knelt down in front of the princess and begged her to calm down, he was really worried that the princess would dislike him from then on and would never give him another chance.

Captain Zhu wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and closed it again. He hesitated and considered, and finally leaned forward and bowed deeply, begging:

"I have made mistakes and I have no excuse. Please give me another chance, Your Highness.

Although I am stupid, I am not useless. If Your Highness needs me in the future, I will do my best to help you.”

Su Fengyi let him kneel and just asked him:

"Zhu Qi, why can I trust you? Give me a reason!"

Captain Zhu raised his head. He still had a medicine bag on his head, which made him look a little funny. However, his eyes were more determined and clear than ever before. He replied to Su Fengyi loudly:

"I have a five-year-old daughter. At home, I am her hero. I just don't want my daughter to see me as a coward instead of a hero one day."

Su Fengyi looked at Captain Zhu without saying a word. Her eyes were like sharp knives, making Captain Zhu break out in a cold sweat. He was worried that the reasons he gave were too frivolous and had angered the princess.

But that was what he wanted in his heart, he had not lied, and since he had made up his mind, how could he back down? So Zhu Qi straightened his back and allowed the princess to examine him.

After a long while, the princess finally stood up with a smile, personally helped Captain Zhu up and said:

"I was inspired today and spoke more directly, please don't blame me.

Captain Zhu loves his daughter dearly, and he is sure that his daughter will be very smart and likable.

Qianhu must remember what he said today. Such a likable girl must not be disappointed.

The future of a girl in the boudoir has always depended on her father and brothers.

Since ancient times, has Qian Hu ever seen a eunuch party have a good ending? If the Qian Hu is counted as a member of the eunuch party in the future, how will Qian Hu's daughter deal with it? Where is her future?

I wish your daughter a bright future. When she chooses a husband, I will personally prepare her dowry and congratulate her on her bright future."

Captain Zhu left crying yesterday, but today he stopped kneeling and crying. After paying proper respects to Su Fengyi, he held his head high and walked out of the gate of the Princess's Mansion with dignity.

Even Wutong, who sent him back, couldn't help but sigh:

"It seems like he has become a different person."

Su Fengyi was just instructing Dangui to find some toys that she played with as a child and send them to Captain Zhu's daughter. Since she had accepted Captain Zhu's letter of allegiance, she naturally had to show her appreciation.

Dangui found a bow and arrow for little girls and asked:

"Your Highness, how about this? Everyone knows that Your Highness loves bows and arrows. Giving this is not too expensive, but it can also show your closeness.

I have seen the women of the Zhu family at the previous temple fair. They were not wearing bright clothes, so I’m afraid they were not well off.

It would be too straightforward to just give him silver as a reward. It would be better to add a few more pieces of good material for girls and female relatives. The Zhu family can sell or use them. This way, they will be complete."

Dangui usually manages the interpersonal relationships in the Princess's Mansion. There are rules and regulations for what to give and what to reply for weddings and funerals in different families, and she never makes mistakes.

She also knew the temperaments, personalities, and relationships of the women in various mansions in the capital like the back of her hand, so it was natural for her to handle these matters.

Su Fengyi had no objection and praised:

"Yes, this gift couldn't be chosen better. Let's do it."

Dangui felt that the princess loved to praise people these days, so she was naturally happy to be praised. So she happily went to find Baiguo to open the warehouse and choose fabrics.

Su Fengyi instructed Wutong:

"Follow Captain Zhu's lead and report to me every day. If you find anything wrong, report it immediately."

Qiao Gui is a man full of tricks and schemes. Su Fengyi is worried that he is still determined to do something evil and will cause trouble again.

Dongchang is Qiao Gui's territory. If he could have someone of his own in Dongchang, they could share what they have and some things could be prevented early.

If such a secret agent were to be trained from scratch, it would take a lot of effort. It was fate that Captain Zhu took the initiative to find him.

Captain Zhu did not disappoint Su Fengyi. The next day, he sent someone to secretly inform Wutong that Qiao Gui was instigating the emperor to lead the army in person.
