Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing walked into the room.

"I am going to look for General Ouyang. I wonder what Prince Jing, Princess Jing want from me so late at night." Xiao Qingcheng asked in confusion.

"What do you want from my father? That's why we're here to see you."

"Prince Jing, Princess Jing, do you know what happened?"

"What do you say?"

"Prince Jing, Princess Jing, please take a seat."

The three of them sat down. At this time, Xiao Qingcheng took out some letters from his sleeves and handed them to Chu Chenjing, saying, "Prince Jing, Princess Jing, this letter was sent by my grandfather last night. These letters were delivered by someone in the mansion today."

"And this letter was just delivered by my father through someone in the mansion." Xiao Qingcheng took out another letter and handed it to Chu Chenjing.

"Oh, do you know who is coming?" Ouyang Yunyao asked.

"This person calls himself Zhang Er. He is not very tall, has dark skin, and speaks with a Border Town accent. He said he lives in Yuelai Inn, Room 3. I feel like this person has changed his appearance, but I am sure he is from Border Town."

Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao were looking through the letter.

Chu Chenjing said: "Your grandfather asked you to obey him in everything, what do you say?"

"Haha, he is really a good grandfather!" Xiao Qingcheng said with a bitter smile with hatred in his eyes.

"Prince Jing, Princess Jing, you may not know how my good grandfather treated my father, mother, me, and my sister."

"My grandfather was never kind to my father. My grandmother died of complications during childbirth. My father, a bastard, was beaten and scolded by his family. My father has come to this day on his own. Not only has he never been kind to my father, he has never even looked at me. He almost forced my sister to death, and now... now he is even thinking of using my parents' lives to threaten me to do his bidding and do such things..."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"They came up with this vicious plan to frame the general, and I will never do it under any circumstances."

"So you're not going to take care of your parents?"

"Look, this is the letter my parents gave me. They repeatedly told me not to do anything to let the general down. I know that without the general, I wouldn't be where I am today. Even if my parents didn't tell me, I wouldn't have done it. I was just about to report this to the general."

Ouyang Yunyao saw that some of the letters were imitations of his father's handwriting, and said to Chu Chenjing, "The handwriting is quite similar. He is a master of imitation."

"What exactly do they ask you to do?" Chu Chenjing asked.

"They may have thought of me because the general's mansion was heavily guarded and no one could enter, especially the general's study, where even a bird could hardly fly in. They thought of me because I was a person General Ouyang trusted, and I was often by his side and could enter his study at any time. They asked me to secretly stamp these letters that imitated General Ouyang's handwriting with General Ouyang's private seal and hand them over. They also hid the letters stamped with the private seal of the King of Qi of Beiyue in General Ouyang's study. As soon as I handed them the letters stamped with the general's private seal, they would..."

Xiao Qingcheng continued, "They will contact Beiyue's army and send troops to attack our border town. When the two sides are fighting, they will let me secretly give them our army's battle plan. Once our Western Chu State is defeated, they will expose General Ouyang's collusion with the enemy. At that time, they will search the general's mansion for evidence of General Ouyang's rebellion... They also promised me that they would let me become a general..."

Hearing this, Chu Chenjing slammed the table in anger and said, "The general is at the front to defend the country, but these people are joining forces with the enemy for their own selfish desires. They are really crazy!"

"This old witch, her scheme is so vicious." Ouyang Yunyao was so angry that she wanted to curse.

"Okay, Deputy General Xiao, don't touch these things yet, keep them. Don't go anywhere now, lest someone monitors you and alerts the enemy. The princess and I will go back and discuss this with the general first."

"Okay, Prince Jing, Princess Jing."

……

Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing rushed back to the general's mansion, went to Ouyang Xiao's study overnight, and told Ouyang Xiao everything.

Several people were very cautious and did not fully trust Xiao Qingcheng. Ouyang Xiao immediately sent two secret guards to secretly protect Xiao Qingcheng, or to monitor him.

Ouyang Xiao also sent a scout team to Beiyue Kingdom to investigate based on the information provided.

They discussed for a long time before going to rest.

Ouyang Yunyao and Chu Chenjing came to Yaoguang Pavilion to rest. As soon as they entered Yaoguang Pavilion, Chu Chenjing said to Ouyang Yunyao, "Yao'er, you have a good rest. I'll be out for a while."

"Is something wrong?"

"I have some people here, go and make some arrangements."

"Ok."

……

It was already three o'clock in the morning. Chu Chenjing came to a high-end restaurant on the street. It was also called Zuixianlou like the one in Kyoto. It was a branch of Kyoto. Zuixianlou was closed. Chu Chenjing flew to the third floor. Soon, a candle was lit in a room on the third floor, and a figure appeared beside Chu Chenjing.

"Your Highness, why are you here now? Is there something urgent?" This person is Chu Liang, another capable general of Chu Chenjing and also a senior executive of Lengsha Pavilion.

"Go check the recent situation in Beiyue Country, and send two more people to keep an eye on Xiao Qingcheng. Notify Kyoto to have someone check the situation of the Xiao family, and send someone to take Xiao Qingcheng's family out of Kyoto and settle them down."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Tell Manager Yang of Yuelai Inn to check who has stayed here in the past two days and if there are any suspicious people."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Send a message to Chu Feng and ask him to go to Nanjun Prefecture to obey the orders of Prince Han."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

……

Nanjun Prefecture is not peaceful now. At night, Han Fengli led the grain team and quietly transported the grain to the capital of Nanjun Prefecture.

At this moment, the candlelight was bright in the provincial government. The fourth prince Chu Chenyan, assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works Chai Junneng and Hu Chenghu, the governor of Nanjun Prefecture Zhu Caixiang, and the legal advisor Cao Fengsui were still discussing how to solve the flood problem.

The fourth prince Chu Chenyan has been in Nanjun Prefecture for several days. He has taken people to check several nearby counties. The current water situation is still quite serious. The flood has not completely receded, and many farmlands and houses have been flooded. Moreover, the governor of Nanjun Prefecture did not cooperate with him at all. When he asked the prefecture government to provide porridge to the victims, he always pushed it back and forth, saying that there was no food. Finally, he reluctantly set up a porridge shed, but the porridge given to the victims was as thin as water.

"Fourth Prince, the grain team has arrived, the grain team has arrived!" A happy voice came from outside the door. Chu Chenyan, who was having a headache about the grain, ran to the door excitedly and asked, "Has the grain arrived?"

Han Fengli came out of the carriage and said, "Fourth Master, on the orders of Prince Jing, the food has been delivered to you."

"Prince Han, you came too hastily! You and my third brother have helped me a lot. Do you know that there is no food left here now?"

Chai Jun was so excited that tears came down when he saw the grain and touched the grain bags. However, Hu Chenghu, Zhu Caixiang, and Cao Fengsui were stunned when they saw so much grain being delivered. It was not that...

Chu Chenyan ordered that porridge should be distributed starting tomorrow, and some food should be given to each household based on the previously counted number of disaster victims.

"Fourth Master, Prince Jing asked me to stay and help you."

"I knew that Third Brother wouldn't abandon me." After so many days, Chu Chenyan finally smiled.
