After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

"Brother, this lie was just made up on impulse, right?"

Song Mingli, who had remained silent until now, finally lost his patience when he heard that King Cheng had bitten Jingyou.

Neither the emperor nor the prince interrupted her questioning.

King Cheng sighed, but he didn't panic. He said dejectedly, "Fourth brother and Jingyou are liked by father and His Highness. Even if I tell them, they won't believe me and will accuse me of instigating them."

"Fourth brother is already an expert in martial arts, and he has led troops to fight since he was young. He has great prestige among the generals, and he can command the support of hundreds of people!"

Before King Cheng finished speaking, there was a sound of people gasping for air all around him.

It is said that Chu Yanchen has prestige among the military generals, and that he can command the support of hundreds of people... This in itself makes those in higher positions wary.

Chu Yanchen's face didn't look good either.

King Cheng continued, "Although my fourth brother is in the capital now, he can still command the Jinwu Guard. If he knew that I already knew Jingyou's fate, I'm afraid it would be impossible to change it..."

The Jinwu Guards were responsible for patrolling and controlling the imperial city.

When the emperor asked Chu Yanchen to lead the Jinwu Guard, he refused.

However, the emperor said that this was a trust in his ability and loyalty, so Chu Yanchen accepted it.

King Cheng burst into tears, "That's why I dare to eradicate the disaster even if I have to bear the blame!"

"I originally planned to inform my father and the Crown Prince after I succeeded. By then, even if they wanted to kill me, I would die with no regrets."

"If I hadn't been arrested tonight, I might never have had the chance to speak again if I hadn't said it. I still won't say it now."

King Cheng's words were sincere and he turned a traitor into a loyal and righteous man who would rather bear the infamy and die loyal to the emperor.

His lies and distortion of right and wrong make people so angry that they want to laugh.

But neither Song Mingli nor Chu Yanchen could laugh.

Because the emperor didn't laugh, and the prince didn't laugh either.

The cold night wind blew through the camp, and the stagnant atmosphere made people shiver uncontrollably.

"How ridiculous," Chu Yanchen sneered, "Jingyou is just a child. He hasn't even inherited my throne yet, and my second brother is putting such a big accusation on him?"

"Why don't you apply your fate to me? Your lie is so lame. Did you come up with this idea after I caught you?"

"I also heard that Taoist Qingshan predicted that you, my second brother, will become a treacherous minister who will overthrow the world! Father should have strangled you to death the moment you were born."

Upon hearing this, the prince finally curled his lips and said, "That's right, there are so many lies like this."

"If anyone just randomly predicts someone's fate and then kills him, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

Chu Yanchen then said, "I think it is Second Brother who wants to control the lives of all of us? Whoever you say should die, that person shall die."

"You..." King Cheng suddenly looked up and glared at Chu Yanchen.

In the past, I only knew that he was good at kung fu, but I didn’t know that he was also good at talking.

King Cheng caught a glimpse of the cold and chilling looks his father and the crown prince gave him.

He couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Every word I said is true! I was confused... I should have quietly informed Father..."

"But father, if you knew, would you believe me?"

Song Mingli immediately replied in a cold voice, "Father, you must believe what I said. Can't you make your own judgment?"

"Or do you want to control even our father's decision?"

"It is the duty of a minister to report to the higher authorities. You ignore your duty and want to seize the power of life and death. Doesn't this just show your evil ambitions?"

King Cheng was startled when he heard this and immediately kowtowed and confessed his guilt.

"My son is confused, my son is confused...but my son is really thinking about his father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

But Chu Yanchen and Song Mingli's words had already caused boos from the surroundings.

Everyone looked at King Cheng with disdain and even a hint of mockery.

People hate being controlled by others, and emperors are even more so.

Song Mingli's words just now reminded him immediately.

Regardless of whether Master Huijue had predicted the fate or not, King Cheng, as a minister and a son, should have first informed him of the news.

As for whether to believe it or not, and how to decide, that is his right as emperor.

Instead of him becoming king and bypassing the emperor, the decision was made by him!

"Come here, take King Cheng to the imperial prison!" the emperor ordered in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

"Father, everything I said is true!"

"Father, if you don't believe me, you can summon Master Huijue to see you!"

"It is not a pity for my son to die, but the government must not be disrupted! Chu Yanchen's achievements are greater than mine, so we must be on guard!"

Song Yanzhou quickly covered his mouth and dragged him away.

Everyone went back to their tents.

Jingyou's tent was next to the tent of Prince Jing and his wife.

It was late at night, and Chu Yanchen asked Jingyou to go to bed.

He and Song Mingli sat under the lamp.

"When I return to the capital, I will resign from my father and go to my fiefdom."

In the light, Song Mingli's pretty face was half hidden in the darkness. She nodded, "Okay, it would be best if we can go to the fiefdom."

She swallowed the second half of the sentence, fearing that the superiors would not allow them to go to the fiefdom.

It is safest to keep people under your own supervision.

The two of them didn't say anything more. They each had their own thoughts, washed up and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, Song Mingli suddenly felt that there was no one around him.

She was a light sleeper and woke immediately.

Not long after, Chu Yanchen came back from outside. Seeing that she had her eyes open, he paused slightly.

"Wake you up?"

"What's going on?" Song Mingli asked.

Chu Yanchen sneered, took off his coat, lay down, gently put his arms around Song Mingli's slender waist, and buried his face in his shoulder.

His actions made Song Mingli think of the injured little animal.

Injuried?

Song Mingli's body tensed up, "Are you hurt?"

Chu Yanchen was stunned for a moment.

"Were you injured when you went to capture King Cheng?" Song Mingli asked again.

"No." Chu Yanchen's voice was a little muffled, but he didn't sound like he was trying to be brave. He just sounded a little tired.

Song Mingli thought he was sleepy, so he stopped disturbing him.

Unexpectedly, he said in a deep voice, "The prince ordered people to go to Xiangguo Temple. Huijue is now in Fayuan Temple."

King Cheng's nonsense, he actually took it seriously? Song Mingli thought secretly.

No wonder he was in a low mood. He has been wholeheartedly assisting the prince recently.

Even today, his beloved son was willing to take the risk to divert the assassin for the sake of the prince's son.

Does the prince “trust” them father and son so much?

"King Cheng mentioned Master Huijue in front of everyone tonight. Even if the Crown Prince doesn't believe it, he must invite Huijue back to clear Jingyou's name."

"Otherwise, with such a reputation, Jingyou's future will be difficult."

Song Mingli whispered to comfort Chu Yanchen, telling him not to make random guesses before finding out the truth.

I just don’t know what Master Huijue will say?

Was there such a person in the previous life?

Song Mingli couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, before dawn, she was awakened by the noise outside the tent.
