After rebirth, the prince fell into the hands of the princess again

"I want the position of Crown Prince, and I also want my father to issue an edict of apology, announcing to the world that the Nanman Gu tribe played a great role in the battle of Zhuyin many years ago. As for what my father did, I am willing to plead with the princess, and I will make it public after my father passes away, which can also be regarded as preserving his reputation during his lifetime."

"In addition, the emperor still owes the Ji family a letter of vindication. General Ji has been loyal to the emperor and the country all his life. I beg the emperor to posthumously confer the title of general on General Ji and the title of princess on Ji Chu, so that she can enjoy the royal family's food and salary. In addition, all the side branches of the Ji family are no longer guilty and can be recalled back to the country so that they can enjoy their old age in peace from now on."

"As long as Father agrees to this, the account books and documents will be handed over to Father for disposal. As for how Father wants to deal with Fourth Brother, I will not ask."

After Rong Yan finished speaking, he looked up at Emperor An and saw murderous intent in his eyes. It was clear that he wanted to kill him immediately.

After a long while, Emperor An said in a cold voice: "I am the Son of Heaven. Life and death are all granted by God. I can order the execution of Tang Mumu and Ji Chu right now."

"If your Majesty insists on doing this, I will not care about my royal status. Mu Mu is the one I love most in my life. If your Majesty really attacks her, even if I sacrifice my life, I will definitely drag your Majesty down with me."

After saying this, Rong Yan curled the corners of his mouth, and Emperor An couldn't help but shudder.

"For the sake of a woman, you are willing to become my enemy and the entire court? You even ignore the people of this world?"

"So, father, do you still want to force me?"

There was deathly silence again, until neither of them knew how long it had been, and then Emperor Andy finally spoke to break the silence.

"I can grant you the position of Crown Prince, and I can also announce to the world the great achievements of the Nanman Gu Tribe in the battle of Zhuyin. As for the edict of repentance and the letter of exoneration, I cannot give them to you."

"You just enlightened me. I have many princes. Even if the fourth prince is gone, there are still others who can be used."

Hearing this, Rong Yan chuckled. It seemed that he had guessed right again. Fourth brother was indeed important in the emperor's heart, but not that important. From the beginning to the end, the emperor's favorite was always him, and he could give up all the others.

"Fourth brother colluded with the ghost market, framed his brothers, and murdered loyal people. Father still owes Fan Yan a clear name."

"I have drafted an edict to promote him to the sixth rank of guard."

After a long while, Rong Yan's deep voice rang out in the hall: "Thank you, Father, for your permission."

Emperor An stood up and suddenly said, "This matter still depends on your princess. I really want to see to what extent your princess can do for you."

Hearing this, Rong Yan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Since Your Majesty has already agreed to my request, why are you making things difficult for me? Your Majesty knows that the turn of events was just a result of your words, and Princess Rong has nothing to do with this matter. Your Majesty promised me that he would not touch her."

Seeing how frightened he was, Emperor An finally showed his first satisfied smile of the night. He just wanted to see how deep the feelings between these two were.

As long as people have a weak spot, they become easy to deal with.

"Father is helping you. After all, you and Tang Mumu are separated by a blood feud. Don't you want to see how far she can go for you? This is a good opportunity to test her. I also want to see if she is qualified to become the Crown Princess of the Li Dynasty."

After saying that, Emperor An flicked his sleeves and left. Looking at his receding back, Rong Yan felt that the wounds on his body were affecting all the meridians in his body, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't speak.

Snow had been falling since night, and it was freezing cold when Tang Mumu woke up in the morning. She pushed open the doors and windows, and everything she saw was silver-white. Thick snow covered the bricks and tiles. Someone had swept the path in the yard, but now a thick layer of snow had accumulated on it.

The cold wind blew snowflakes straight at her face. Jinse came into the room and saw this, and hurried over to close the window while saying, "Princess, why don't you dress properly again? It's so cold, you'll get sick if you don't dress properly."

Tang Mumu let Jinse scold her, and when she saw that she had left a crack in the window, she smiled and said, "It was only a short while, it's not easy to get sick. Why are you nagging like an old lady at such a young age?"

Afraid that it would waste a lot of time to continue talking about this topic, Tang Mumu quickly changed the subject and said, "Where is the clothes you brought back from the clothing store that day? I want to wear them today."

When Jinse heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "I have kept it well for the princess. I will go get it and help her change clothes."

Jinse came back soon, with the winter clothes she had picked up from the clothing store that day on a tray in her hand. Jinse took the clothes and carefully helped Tang Mumu change into them.

"Your Highness has a very good eye. This dress is just right for the princess. It looks even better when the princess wears it."

Tang Mumu touched the clothes and smiled, "I think it looks good too, and it's warm to wear." She looked out the window, where the snow was falling even harder than before. She murmured, "It's snowing nicely, as if it knew I was going to enter the palace, so I wore thick clothes. I don't know how painful it would be if I was hit by a cane."

Hearing this, Jinse's hand holding the silver fox fur trembled, and the fur in her hand almost dropped to the ground, "Princess, you want to enter the palace? What kind of cane?"

Jinse thought that the princess wanted to wear this dress just because she missed the prince, but she didn't expect that she had other plans. When she heard that she wanted to enter the palace, she became anxious. How could they enter the palace in their current condition?

The snow was getting heavier. Tang Mumu didn't want to explain too much to Jinse, thinking that it was almost time. She just said, "My second brother will come soon and take me to the palace. Don't go anywhere. All problems can be solved after today. If I haven't returned home tomorrow, please go back to the general's mansion to see my mother, and then listen to the housekeeper."

Jinse's eyes immediately turned red. She pulled Tang Mumu's sleeve and cried softly, "I know that the princess has always had her own opinions. I also know that the princess did this for the prince and the palace, but I don't want the princess to get hurt."

Tang Mumu's smile was a little forced, and he patted the back of Jinse's hand: "I promise that no one will be in trouble, just stay at home and wait for me to come back."

Jinse nodded heavily, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, "Don't worry, Princess. I have taken note of your words. Madam, don't worry. I will return to the General's Mansion as soon as I have the chance."

Tang Mumu touched Jinse's head and said with satisfaction: "That's good."

Not daring to delay any longer, Tang Mumu went to the backyard.

Perhaps he had already made arrangements, so it was easy to enter the palace this time.

"I'll send it here. Second brother, please hurry to the court. I'm also going to beat the drum to report the incident."

Rong Lou had been very worried along the way, and his brows were even more furrowed at this moment.

"Have you thought it through? Once the drum for submitting petitions is struck, there will be no escape route. Even if you can reach the imperial court after kneeling three times and bowing nine times, the thirty beatings with sticks may really cost you your life."

"Brother, Fanfan, Song Jinyu and Achu, aren't you all risking your lives to help me? I have made up my mind. The drum must be struck and His Highness's grievances must be cleared."

"Okay, we are all waiting for you in the court, be careful."

"Thank you, second brother."

The snow was falling more and more heavily. All you could see was a vast expanse of white. Walking between heaven and earth, it only took a moment for her hair to be covered in silver. Tang Mumu walked towards the platform step by step, and the Dengwen drum was right in front of her.

Jinse had been in Nongyue Hall. When she heard the news that the people from Prince Chen's Mansion were quarreling with the guards outside the door, she became even more panicked. When she walked outside the courtyard, she did not see any guards on duty. She did not dare to hesitate and quickly ran out with her skirt lifted up.
