The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

Upon learning that Chu Heng personally escorted Chu Wan and Cheng Jiuyuan back to Beijing, Chu Ze showed a hint of pride.

"Your Majesty, now that the Prince of Chen has returned to the capital, we must be prepared for danger." Shangguan Huai reminded.

"What is there to guard against? With the Black Armor Army escorting them personally, how could anything go wrong?" said another minister.

Chu Ze said softly: "Since he has returned to the capital, he should stay in the capital forever."

Several ministers were startled and looked at each other.

"Your Majesty means..."

Shangguan Huai pondered and said, "It has been less than three years since the death of the late emperor, and the prince has already hooked up with the prime minister's daughter. This is unfilial."

"Sheltering Princess Yongle, destroying the diplomatic relations between the two countries, putting the emperor in a dilemma, and almost sparking a war is disloyalty and injustice."

"It is not too much to behead such a disloyal, unfilial and unrighteous person."

The other ministers did not dare to say much.

Chu Ze curled his lips and said, "I have a kind heart. Even if he has committed a serious mistake, I cannot bear to take his life. I will just confine him to the capital."

Shangguan Huai understood immediately.

If you are imprisoned, you can do whatever you want. Just like the former crown prince, who was burned to death, no one investigated.

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

"Your Majesty is merciful." Several ministers immediately followed suit.

Chu Ze did not want to burn Chu Heng to death, but wanted to tear the tendons of his hands and feet, so that he would lie on the ground like a dog and struggle to survive.

Looking at Chu Heng like this, would Cheng Jiuyuan still want him?

Thinking of this, he chuckled.

The laughter frightened several ministers.

There are indeed not many normal people in this palace.

On the day Chu Heng and his party left, many people came to the city gate to see them off.

In order to prevent the news from leaking out and being discovered by people in the capital, Jiang Xiubai still left some soldiers to guard the gate of Liping City. The people were still not allowed to enter or leave Liping for the time being.

"Take care, Your Highness!"

"Miss Cheng, please come back with His Highness as soon as possible."

"Princess, you must be well!"

"Your Highness, come back soon!"

Chu Heng and others stuck their heads out of the car windows, waving their hands around until they were almost broken.

After leaving Liping, Chu Wan looked at the city gate getting farther and farther away, and said with tears in her eyes: "These people are so kind. I don't know if they can come back in the future."

She didn't know that the Black Armor Army belonged to Chu Heng, and she kept rolling her eyes at Jiang Xiubai.

This time when they returned to Beijing, the two elders of the Pei family and Yan Yu's family did not go back, thinking that they would come to pick them up after everything was settled.

After traveling for several days, I heard many people talking about this matter along the way.

Everyone is saying that Prince Chen was defeated again.

"Can an arm be twisted over a thigh? He is the emperor after all."

"I thought he was so amazing, but he hasn't even lasted half a year."

"You are wrong. If it weren't for the people of Liping, the King of Chen might not have been so."

"It's really hard to choose. On one side are the common people, and on the other side are my younger sister and future wife."

"If I lose, I lose. I still have to personally hand over my sister and my wife..."

Chu Heng, who was eating, silently put down his chopsticks. Cheng Jiuyuan reached out and held his hand, shaking his head at him.

The main force was outside the city, and they came into the city to buy some things and have a meal.

Although they are in disguise, if they make a big fuss, it will cause some unnecessary trouble.

A group of fat and bloated men at another table were still talking nonsense.

"You tell me, the emperor forced the princess to return to the capital, why did he also force the prime minister's daughter to return?"

"Didn't the Prime Minister write a letter to denounce the Prince of Chen, saying that he seduced a good woman?"

"This is just to fool you guys. She is engaged. The Prime Minister's family lost their daughter. Why is the Emperor so enthusiastic?"

"I heard that the Prime Minister's daughter is as beautiful as a fairy. I'm afraid the Emperor is thinking about her..."

"You don't want to live anymore? How dare you say that!"

The man was obviously drunk. "Hey, the emperor has all the women he wants, why is he obsessed with a broken flower? She has been running away with other men for more than a year, how can she still be a virgin? Such a slut... uh..."

"what!!!"

A scream was heard, followed by chaos in the restaurant.

The man suddenly started bleeding from all seven orifices and fell headfirst onto the table.

Cheng Jiuyuan and the others ate their meal calmly.

Soon, government officials came with a coroner. They sealed the door of the restaurant, and the soldiers were questioning the people who were sitting with the man.

The coroner came over and said, "Sir, it was due to excessive drinking."

Not long after, the restaurant was unsealed, and Cheng Jiuyuan and his companions finished their meal and left the restaurant.

In such a remote town, one can hear bad rumors about Cheng Jiuyuan, let alone in the capital.

Chu Wan comforted her, "Sister Cheng, don't take it to heart. These people don't know the inside story. You married my brother in a dignified manner under the witness of my father and my family. When the truth comes out, these rumors will be broken."

Cheng Jiuyuan shook his head: "I don't take it to heart."

She had expected this when she went to Liping.

But as Chu Wan said, she is now Chu Heng's legally married princess.

Out of consideration for Emperor Zhaolie and Grand Tutor Zhu, they walked very slowly.

After half a month, we finally arrived in the capital.

It was already midnight when we arrived in the capital.

Cheng Jiuyuan did not return to the Prime Minister's Residence, but moved into Prince Chen's Mansion with other people.

With the Black Armor Army around, Chu Ze felt very relieved and only sent one eunuch.

The reason for choosing to enter the city late at night was also for the safety of Emperor Zhaolie and others.

Emperor Zhaolie, who mixed in with the Black Armor Army and entered Prince Chen's Palace together, did not arouse the slightest suspicion from the eunuchs.

After all, who would doubt that a person who had been dead for more than a year could be resurrected?

The eunuchs' attention was all on Chu Heng, Cheng Jiuyuan and Chu Wan.

"Now that the Prince of Chen has arrived, remember to go to the palace early tomorrow morning."

Chu Heng nodded.

"Then we will return to the palace to report."

He turned around and looked at Jiang Xiubai, commandingly saying, "Watch carefully. If there is any problem, you will be held responsible."

Jiang Xiubai cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Master."

The eunuch then twisted his fat buttocks and got on the carriage outside the mansion.

Jiang Xiubai said "Pooh" at the eunuch's carriage.

"Who is this eunuch? He looks like he has considerable power." Cheng Jiuyuan asked curiously.

Chu Wan said with disgust: "It's all because of the power of Eunuch Quan's adopted son."

Chu Heng said: "Go in first."

The night is half over.

In the second half of the night, no one wanted to sleep.

The palace's housekeeper and the servants who came back with him quickly lit the lights in the palace and cleaned the study and kitchen first.

In the study, the lights are brightly lit.

Emperor Zhaolie sat at the top wearing a cloak, and Chu Heng pointed at the defense map of the imperial palace and began to lay out the plan.

"What I just said was the defense of the imperial palace. Mengzhou will take care of it."

"Tomorrow morning, I will bring Yongle into the palace. Father, the Grand Tutor, and Minister Mu will still disguise themselves as Black Armor Soldiers and enter the palace among them."

"As long as the emperor shows up, Chu Ze's wolfish ambitions will be exposed. I'm afraid he will do something desperate."

"Yuan'er, you are good at martial arts, so you can also disguise yourself as a black armor soldier and follow father. You must protect yourself and father."

"do not worry!"

"Wan'er, no matter what happens tomorrow, follow me."

"My mother..."

"Don't worry about Concubine Chun. Mengzhou will take good care of her."

"I have already discussed this with Luan An and Meng Zhou. They will take care of the guards of the imperial palace. As for the rest of the capital, Marquis Zhaoxin and his son will be able to keep things stable..."

Chu Heng took out a list and placed it on the table: "These are all ministers who are loyal to Chu Ze, so there is no need to be lenient. As for the others, deal with them as appropriate and minimize the casualties..."

Everyone listened and discussed attentively.

The moon was setting in the west, but the light in the study was still on.

The east gradually brightened.

Light will eventually defeat darkness.
