"Young Master!" The servant who came to deliver the food specially brought a basket of loquats and gave it to Chu Shilin.

"I heard that Madam has been coughing a lot lately. Boil the loquats in water and drink them together with the fruit to cure the cough."

Although Chu Shilin didn't say anything, he couldn't hide the anxiety in his eyes.

"Replying to the master, they have stopped it...the imperial guards are dispatched."

Chu Shilin's eyes lit up, "Really?"

The servant nodded heavily, "It's absolutely true! They stopped him on the street and said they wanted to search for the betrothal gifts."

"The people of Kyoto are talking about it, saying that his favor has come to an end."

"There might be some unexpected changes in his marriage!"

"His residence has been surrounded by the Imperial Guards! The search has already begun, but the results are still unknown."

Chu Shilin burst into laughter when he heard this, "Okay, that's great!"

Although my father was imprisoned and trapped in the clan house.

But how could it be that all my father's years of preparation were of no use at all?

Now that Fourth Uncle has encountered a big accident, the Emperor’s grandfather will surely remember the kindness of the Emperor.

While Grandfather is dealing with Prince Jing, Daddy can come back.

Chu Shilin was extremely happy. He immediately peeled a loquat and put it into his mouth. "Mm, so sweet! You have grown loquats well. You can come to my house and be a gardener in the future."

The servant was delighted and thanked him profusely.

Doing farm work on the farm is dirty and tiring, and you have to always look at the mood of the person in charge of the farm.

If I can work in the mansion, even though I'm just a gardener, I'll have more opportunities to show myself in front of the master and get promoted!

The servant left the loquats and left with many thanks.

When leaving the house, he met the manager of their farm.

He raised his chin high and even snorted coldly.

It seemed as if he didn't take the person in charge seriously at all.

"What's wrong with this kid? Are his eyes on his forehead?"

The manager was surprised.

Someone nearby whispered to the steward, "The loquats his wife grows are especially sweet. He didn't tell you today and went to deliver the loquats to the young master on his own!"

The manager nodded and let out a long "oh".

"A few loquats..."

It's not enough to make him so proud, there must be something else.

When they came out of the Third Prince's Mansion, they heard the people on the street talking excitedly about what they had seen that day.

"You don't know how funny it is if you haven't seen it with your own eyes!"

"Just a moment ago, that General Sun was so arrogant that he didn't even give face to King Rui!"

"The next moment, he put on a smile and apologized politely to the generals under Prince Jing!"

"I heard from them that the specifications of the betrothal gifts for Princess Jing are far higher than those for other princesses!"

"The Emperor gave her another 10,000 taels of silver!"

"This isn't about not spoiling me! This is probably not spoiling me enough!"

The servant who delivered the loquats was shocked when he heard this.

His legs suddenly trembled and his face turned pale.

"No, isn't it?"

Did he send in the wrong information? Did he make the young master happy for nothing?

If the young master finds out about this, will he let him go?

"Li Er, what's wrong?" The housekeeper's smiling voice came from behind.

The servant froze… He was thinking too far ahead. Before the young master came to cause trouble for him, the steward might not let him go.

Really, it's too early to get carried away.

"I, I remembered some taboos about eating loquats, and I forgot to tell the young master. I will go back and tell him now."

Li Er turned around and wanted to run back.

But he was grabbed by the steward and pulled back.

"There is a doctor in the mansion. Doesn't he know more than you? Is there any need for you to interfere?"

The manager looked at him coldly and said, "Come back with me quickly, there are still many things to do in the farm!"

Li Er was unwilling and struggled in the manager's hands.

However, the imperial guards guarding the gates outside the palace gave them a cold look.

Li Er became obedient instantly.

"I hope the young master doesn't know..."

"Or maybe the young master had already forgotten me by the time he knew about it!"

However, Li Er has not yet returned to the farm.

Chu Shilin had already heard about the exciting events that had spread throughout Kyoto today from the imperial guards who were changing shifts.

"Not only did they not search, they also added 10,000 taels of silver!"

"That's the emperor's private treasury. If he wants to add to Prince Jing's treasury, who can say no?"

"I thought Prince Jing had done something terrible this time! I'm afraid it's all over."

"Who would have thought that in less than an hour, things would turn around!"

At first, Chu Shilin didn't know whether he really didn't understand or refused to accept it.

In short, he simply refused to believe what the imperial guards were talking about.

"Daddy won't be wrong. He won't fail again!"

"If Prince Jing is not punished, then father would be..."

When Chu Shilin thought of this, he couldn't help but feel cold all over.

Dad failed again?

Is there no hope of a comeback this time? Will Dad's handiwork be discovered?

"Damn it, that boy only delivered half of the message!"

Chu Shilin said angrily, "I was so happy for nothing!"

"Someone, tell the kitchen manager that there is something wrong with the loquats delivered today. My stomach aches after eating them!"

"Tell the steward of the manor to discipline the boy who delivered the loquats!"

He was angry and resentful, but had no place to vent it, so he had to vent his anger on the weak and humble people.

After venting his anger, Chu Shilin became afraid again.

"Dad... will he be okay?"

The third prince was very happy at this time.

Pei Yuqing was too unreliable. Not only did he die, but he also sent him to the clan house.

Fortunately, although there was no freedom in the clan house, there were people watching over me.

But the emperor would not kill all of them brothers, he would always show some mercy to them.

This also means that his people outside can still contact him.

"Good! That's great!" The third prince looked at the note sent in from outside.

The note said that the emperor had ordered a search of Prince Jing's mansion. The betrothal gifts were intercepted on the street, and Prince Jing was detained in the palace.

"Although Pei Yuqing is not smart, she is right about one thing..."

"Once the seed of doubt is planted, the facts no longer matter. Father's trust in the Fourth Brother no longer exists!"

The third prince was just feeling happy when he suddenly heard a faint sigh from behind him.

He turned around immediately, "Who?"

There was no one behind me, but the sigh just now was very clear.

Moreover, it sounded strangely familiar, like... like my own father's voice?

The third prince was about to get up and open the door.

The door was opened from the outside.

He Hongxi stood at the door, pushing it with a respectful look.

The familiar old man in the dark dragon-patterned robe was standing at the door, looking at him with disappointment.

The third prince froze all over, but he reacted immediately, took two steps back, blocked the table, and hid the note on the table into his sleeve.

"You can go back home." The emperor said quietly.

"Hmm?" The Third Prince was stunned again, "Father, have you pardoned me?"

"I kept you in the clan house because I wanted you to calm down and think alone." The emperor sneered calmly, "But now it seems that when people are restless, they can't calm down anywhere."

The third prince's eyelids were twitching wildly. What, what did that mean?

"He Hongxi, ask someone to pack his things and send him back home." the emperor ordered.

"Yes!" He Hongxi responded, called someone in, and packed up the third prince's things.

"Let's withdraw the imperial guards outside the Third Master's mansion as well." the emperor continued.
