"Third brother, your coachman is still involved in this. Why don't you come with us into the palace to take a look?" King Cheng suddenly reminded the third prince.

The third prince glanced at him and felt that this guy had bad intentions.

But it is better to go into the palace with him to see my father than to be left outside in the dark.

"Yes! I am also willing to go with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The third prince stood up quickly and said.

King Cheng stood up and said, "We are all here, why don't we go to the palace together and report this matter."

The third prince secretly gave him a look.

He said he wanted to go too, so he pushed himself out first and then stood up. It's so annoying!

"No need for that," the prince decisively rejected the two of them, "Fourth Brother, come with me into the palace. I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly."

"If you need anything, please ask your two brothers for help."

The two of them quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness is very polite."

In the post house.

When Feng Hao saw that the imperial guards had surrounded the posthouse and the envoys were unable to enter or leave, he knew that his conspiracy had been exposed.

"Princess Yuqing, I'm afraid you didn't succeed."

Feng Hao let out a soft sigh.

For some reason, he felt inexplicably relieved.

Although he knew that what was coming next would not be easy at all.

The Xili Kingdom currently does not have the strength to go to war with the Beili Kingdom.

Their monarch did not want to go to war.

Their monarchs wanted to develop trade on the border between the two countries and establish a large free trade market.

"If Princess Yuqing succeeds, even if Bei Li knows that she was the one who schemed against Prince Jing..."

"But she is a woman after all, and we are the ones who suffer. We can sit down and talk about this."

Feng Hao narrowed his eyes and sighed.

Now, he was not summoned into the palace, but was surrounded by the imperial guards.

This is passive, Princess Yuqing's "plan" has been exposed, and she has not succeeded.

Feng Hao thought about it carefully and asked someone to prepare pen and ink. He ground the ink and wrote a letter, asking the imperial guards outside to present it to Emperor Beili.

At this time, the emperor had finished listening to the statements of the prince and Chu Yanchen.

His face was gloomy and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

The prince felt a little nervous.

He is responsible for this matter. It depends on whether the emperor wants to pursue it.

When he looked up and glanced at his father's face, he saw that his father was staring at Chu Yanchen with a meaningful look.

The prince's heart skipped a beat.

What does the look in my father's eyes mean?

Do you think Chu Yanchen has been wronged? Do you want to compensate the fourth brother?

The prince was a little anxious. It was better for him to compensate his fourth brother than for his father to compensate the fourth brother!

The prince was about to speak when the emperor spoke quietly, "Fourth Brother, tell me the truth, how did the coachman get into the side hall?"

Ok?

The prince was slightly stunned and secretly thanked God that he spoke too slowly.

It turns out that the emperor wanted to attack the fourth child first?

That coachman must be related to him!

The prince felt somewhat relieved... It seemed that although his father favored the fourth son, he was not as unprincipled as the outside world rumored.

Chu Yanchen didn't even raise his eyes, "Father, I don't know."

Prince:......

Do you believe it yourself?

The young eunuch said that he sent Prince Jing into the room and closed the door.

Since Chu Yanchen had been in there, he must have seen Pei Yuqing inside.

He was able to escape unscathed from the spiced fragrance in the room and the temptation of the beautiful Pei Yuqing, which showed his extraordinary ability.

But if he said that he was not the one who sent the coachman in, that would be outrageous.

Can the driver find his way in by himself?

"The driver might have sneaked in on his own." Chu Yanchen didn't even raise his eyelids. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already ordered someone to interrogate him. Father can wait for the results of the interrogation."

The emperor frowned and looked at the fourth brother with seeming confusion.

"You hate her?"

The prince was stunned.

It took Chu Yanchen a moment to react before he realized that the "she" the emperor was talking about should be Pei Yuqing.

"I can't say I hate you. We just met by chance and are strangers."

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "Stranger? She just met you and she expressed her feelings for you in the hall."

"Such a beautiful woman, showing her love in public, and you actually said that she was a stranger?"

Chu Yanchen remained calm, "There are many people who admire me. Should I care about all of them? I'm busy enough."

"What about my own feelings?"

There was silence in the hall.

The emperor and the prince looked at him with different expressions.

The prince thought that the fourth prince was very straightforward. He not only spoke directly to himself, but also to his father.

The emperor frowned...

Is there really something wrong with his youngest son?

If an ordinary woman admired him, it would be of no consequence.

But is Princess Yuqing an ordinary woman?

He had three thousand beauties in his harem, but when he first saw Princess Yuqing's beauty, he still felt bewildered.

Although there is a charming lady like Shen Tao in front, there is no shortage of dignified and elegant ladies from aristocratic families in the harem.

But Pei Yuqing is like an exceptionally delicate and bright flower, with a strange and alluring fragrance.

Unlike all the other beauties in his harem, the Fourth Brother really didn't feel anything at all when being cared for by a woman like this?

Well... let's send another imperial physician to check on the fourth brother later.

Did you really hurt the roots last time?

The emperor frowned tightly.

Just when he was frowning, Feng Hao's letter was delivered to the emperor by the imperial guards.

At the same time, the chief eunuch He Hongxi also came in from outside and whispered a few words to the emperor.

The emperor nodded and ordered He Hongxi to open the letter.

Feng Hao apologized and showed weakness, with an extremely humble and sincere attitude.

He said that Princess Yuqing was spoiled by the emperor and his brothers in Xili Kingdom and behaved outrageously. He also asked the emperor to grant her a marriage, so that she would mature more.

He also attached Princess Yuqing's "dowry list" to the letter.

Looking at this list, I can see that the things at the front were all written earlier.

But there are a few highlights at the end that have just been added, and the handwriting is all new.

Among them, the "five hundred fine stallions" made the emperor's eyes light up.

The fine BMW horses of Xili Country are truly unique!

In cavalry combat, good horses are the key to victory.

They have bred for several generations, and the fittest survive, but today's horses are still far behind the horses of the Xili Kingdom in terms of performance.

If we can get 500 excellent stallions at once and breed them well, within five years, the combat effectiveness of Beili's cavalry will surely be greatly improved.

The emperor looked at Chu Yanchen with burning eyes.

Princess Yuqing was in love with him, so instead of marrying her to someone else, she decided to give her to him.

She was the one who made the mistake first, so now neither she nor the Xili Kingdom could say anything about being asked to be a concubine.

What's more, He Hongxi just whispered in his ear...

Princess Yuqing is still innocent.

She said that the driver who broke into her side hall did not succeed. In order to prove her innocence, she even endured the humiliation and asked the palace maid to examine her.

It was really humiliating for a princess to have her body examined like this by a nanny.

Since she is still innocent, if she talks to the Fourth Brother properly, he will surely understand her painstaking efforts as a father and a king, right?

His father’s burning gaze made Chu Yanchen feel inexplicably uneasy.

Although it was just an intuition, this intuition had saved his life more than once in moments of crisis.

So, Chu Yanchen spoke without hesitation.
