Zheng xinghuai and the others ran out of the room and happened to see Duke Cao in his military uniform. He swung his scabbard and slapped Zhao Jin’s face hard, breaking half of his teeth.

The night watchman, Yin Gong from the Yamen, ran out of the room with a few copper gongs and shouted, ‘”‘Stop!”

He ordered the gongs to hold down the Furious Zhao Jin. The silver Gong glared at him and warned, ‘”‘These are the Imperial Army soldiers of the palace.”

Zhao Jin’s expression froze.

Yin Luo took a deep breath, cupped his hands, and said, “”High Duke Cao, you are …”

High Duke Cao looked at Zheng xinghuai, who was running out of the room, and said with a cold smile, “By His Majesty’s decree, we are to capture Zheng xinghuai and bring him back to the court of judicial review for questioning.

Anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy.”

“What?”

The expressions of the night watchman, Zhao Jin, and the others changed.

Zheng xinghuai was fearless and had a clear conscience as he said, “What crime have I committed?”

High Duke Cao was stunned. His smile turned playful and mocking, “It seems that Lord Zheng did not go out today. Hmm, the commander of the Chu Prefecture city, the protector of the state, que Yongxiu, has returned to the capital. He has reported to His Majesty that you colluded with the demon barbarians and killed the North vanquishing Prince and 380000 people of the

Chu Prefecture city.”

Zheng xinghuai’s body staggered, and his face was pale.

Huaiqing Manor.

The head guard knocked on the door of Princess huaiqing’s study and strode in.

He handed over the note in his hand and said,

“Your Highness, all the information you want is here. Lord Zheng has already been imprisoned. In addition, there are many people in the capital who are spreading rumors that “Sir Zheng is the one colluding with the demon barbarians,” and that it is Duke Cao’s men who are behind this …” As huaiqing listened, he unfolded the note and read it silently.

“I knew that Imperial father had a backup plan. Que Yongxiu had returned to the capital long ago and was hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.

Imperial father ignored the rumors in the capital just to wait for this moment.

Impressive.”

She waved her hand.

The guard took his leave.

After the door of the study was closed, Huai Qing, who was wearing a plain white dress, walked to the window and quietly looked at the spring scenery outside.

A soft sigh echoed in the study.

The eastern Palace.

Lin an lifted the hem of her dress and ran, like a cluster of gorgeous flames. The skirt, waist Jade, and silk ribbons fluttered.

The six Palace maids chased after her and shouted, “Your Highness, please slow down. Your Highness, please slow down.

“Brother Crown Prince, brother Crown Prince …

A melodious voice like silver Bells echoed from outside and drifted into the hall.

The Crown Prince was currently enjoying himself with a pretty Palace maid in his sleeping Palace. When he heard his sister’s shout, his expression changed greatly. She climbed out of bed in a panic, picked up the clothes on the ground, and quickly put them on.

Fortunately, the eunuchs in the East Palace were sensible and knew that their master was working hard to spread the branches of the royal family. They forcefully stopped Lin ‘an from entering the palace and invited her to the living room.

The Crown Prince tidied up his clothes as he entered the living room. When he saw his sister, his expression softened and he said gently, “”What’s the rush?”

Lin ‘an furrowed her delicate brows, her charming peach blossom eyes flashing with panic and worry. She said repeatedly, “Brother Crown Prince, I heard that Governor Zheng has been captured by father.

“I know,” the Crown Prince nodded after a brief silence.

He had been the Crown Prince for so many years, so he naturally had a solid foundation. He knew everything that happened in the Imperial court.

“Imperial father, he, he wants to mess with Lord Zheng, right?” Lin an said sneakily.

The Crown Prince dismissed the eunuchs and Palace maids. When only the brother and sister were left in the hall, he nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

Lin an’s lively peach blossom eyes dimmed and he said in a low voice, “”King Huai massacred the city and killed 380000 innocent people. Why did father cover for him and frame Sir Zheng for this?”

This was. matter of the royal family’s face, so there was no way they would back down … The Crown Prince wanted to say this, but seeing his sister’s low mood, he sighed and patted her shoulder.

“You’re a girl. Don’t care about this. Isn’t it good to learn from huaiqing? you shouldn’t have returned to the palace.”

Lin ‘an lowered his head, like a frustrated little girl.

The crown prince’s heart still ached for his sister. He pressed on her shoulder and said in a deep voice, ‘”‘Father likes you because you have a sweet mouth and because you never ask about the matters of the court. Why have you changed now?”

“Because Xu Qi ‘an’s position is getting higher and higher …” Lin’ an said weakly.

The crown prince’s expression changed and he revealed a look of anger. “Was he the one who incited you to enter the palace?

“No…” Lin ‘an pouted and said aggrievedly, ‘”‘1, I don’t dare to see him. I don’t have the face to see him.”

King Huai was her uncle by blood. How could she not be involved when he committed such atrocities in Chuzhou as a member of the royal family?

The guilt she felt for the 300000 vengeful souls made her feel ashamed to see Xu Qi ‘an.

She even gave up on herself and thought that she would never see him again.

“So, you came to me today to ask me to plead for mercy from my father?” The Crown Prince led her to sit down again. Seeing his sister Peck her head, he shook his head and laughed.

“Imperial father doesn’t even want to see you, how can he see me? In Lin ‘an, there was no right or wrong in the officialdom, only gains and losses. I’m the Crown Prince, and I must stand with the imperial family and the nobles.

“You’re just a girl, no one cares what you do. If you were a Prince, you would no longer have the chance to sit on the throne with your actions a few days ago.”

Lin ‘an said with a sad face,”but, after killing so many people, there must be a price to pay.” Otherwise, who would believe in the laws we follow? I heard from huaiqing that the Duke protector was the one who killed for King Huai. “He killed so many people, but father still wants to protect him. I’m very unhappy.”

Silly sister, there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood under father’s Dragon Throne.

Such things happened a lot in the past, and there were a lot of them now, and they would continue in the future. No one could change that..
