The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

After Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyu received the order and left the imperial study, the emperor sat alone on the dragon throne, lost in deep thought. He had a vague feeling that the incident at Wanhua Tower might indicate that someone else was coveting his throne.

While he was thinking, the voice of Eunuch Hong standing beside him interrupted his thoughts, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."

Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao hurried into the imperial study and said loudly, "Father." It turned out that he had taken his two children to the Crown Princess's house to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning. It was Chu Chenjing who sent someone to tell him about Wanhua Tower.

"Xiao'er, do you know now?" the emperor asked the prince who came in hurriedly.

"Father, it was my third brother who sent someone to inform me. I didn't expect such a big thing to happen now. Could it be that Wanhua Tower is a spy from Danyan Country?" Prince Chu Chenxiao said with a serious face.

"Hearing Jing'er, this matter doesn't seem to be done by spies from the Danyan Kingdom. Instead, it seems like someone is coveting your position as the crown prince again." The emperor said quietly.

"In that case, father, you don't have to worry. Now my third brother and I have grown up, and no one can deal with us easily." Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao comforted the emperor.

"Well, I have asked Jing'er to be responsible for a thorough investigation of this matter. The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice will fully assist him." The emperor rubbed his forehead and said.

"Father, my third brother is too tired. He and I have to go to the border town in a few days. Why not let my fourth and fifth brothers go and help him?" suggested Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao.

"I have already given the order." The emperor sighed deeply again and then asked, "Xiao'er, how is your health recovering now?"

"Father, I have already said that my body has recovered. My skills have also recovered a little, thanks to the elixir given by my third brother's wife." Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao said gratefully.

The emperor also said with emotion: "Xiao'er, you are right. Our royal family has benefited from Yao'er. When you sit in this position in the future, you must treat them better."

"Of course, I know. My life was saved by my third brother and his wife. Mother was also saved by my third brother and his wife after they risked their lives to search for polar Ganoderma lucidum in the swamp."

He wanted to give up his position as crown prince and the throne to his third brother, but he knew that his third brother was not willing to give up.

Then he added, "Father, this snowstorm is also thanks to my third brother and his wife."

If Ouyang Yunyao were here and heard what the emperor and the prince said, she would definitely sigh that it is so rare to see such a weird royal family in history.

The emperor nodded and said with satisfaction: "I am so grateful to Ouyang Xiao for giving birth to such a good daughter. This is a blessing for our Western Chu Kingdom!"

The emperor and the prince, father and son, couldn't help but sigh.

The emperor suddenly remembered something and asked, "Xiao'er, Xuan'er should leave tomorrow morning, right?"

"Yes, Father. The disaster relief supplies are all ready, and my sixth brother will set out early tomorrow morning."

……

On this side, Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyu had just left the palace when they ran into Dali Temple Minister Shao Wanbo and Ministry of Justice Minister Yin Zhengming, who were about to rush into the palace to meet the emperor.

Seeing Chu Chenjing, Shao Wanbo and Yin Zhengming hurried forward and saluted: "Prince Jing, General Ouyang."

Chu Chenjing raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the two hurried people, and asked doubtfully: "Master Shao, Master Yin, why are you so anxious to find the emperor? Is it about Wanhua Tower?"

Shao Wanbo hurriedly said, "Prince Jing, that's right. I just heard about the incident at Wanhua Tower and was about to go to the palace to ask for instructions."

Chu Chenjing nodded and said in a deep voice, "I was just about to come to you about this matter. The Emperor has issued an order for you to assist me in thoroughly investigating this matter."

"Your Majesty!" The two accepted the order and followed Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyu out of the palace.

At the gate of the palace, Chu Chenjing's guards and Ouyang Yunyu's guards were already waiting with their horses.

Ouyang Yunyu turned around and bowed to everyone: "Prince Jing, Lord Shao, Lord Yin, I have to return to the Kyoto garrison camp."

Chu Chenjing nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, young general!"

So, Ouyang Yunyu mounted his horse and rode away with his guards.

Chu Chenjing took Shao Wanbo and Yin Zhengming and headed straight to Jingzhao Prefecture.

……

Today, the entire capital is buzzing with discussion about the news that Princess Ronghui was kidnapped last night but miraculously rescued.

However, in a very exquisite house in the Duke of Chen's Mansion in the east city of Kyoto, there were bursts of noisy sounds of smashing things.

Only a woman's voice was heard, filled with resentment and anger: "How could this happen? How could this happen? Why did you let her escape? Why doesn't she just die?"

In the room, two maids lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

The woman pointed at one of the maids and shouted angrily, "Tell me, how come this princess is so lucky?"

"Miss, the princess...she is the daughter of Prince Xin. Prince Xin has sent people all over the city to look for her."

"And... Prince Han found Prince Jing and sent people to search the whole city and rescue her." The maid answered tremblingly.

Hearing this, the woman's face turned ashen in an instant. She suddenly raised her hand and slapped the maid hard with a "pa" sound.

The maid covered her face and retreated to the wall in fear, not daring to make another sound.

"Hmph! How could she win the favor of the prince with her rude appearance?" the woman gnashed her teeth in jealousy.

This woman was none other than Chen Lanyi, the legitimate daughter of Duke Chen. Spoiled and beautiful since childhood, she had never imagined that the man she loved would ignore her and instead show such devotion to Princess Ronghui.

When she was a child, she had played behind Han Fengli. At that time, her cunning grandfather was afraid that she would be involved in the royal struggle in Kyoto, so when she was ten years old, he sent her to her maternal grandfather's home in Jiangnan.

Now that the situation in Kyoto has stabilized, she was brought back before the New Year.

After returning to Kyoto, Chen Lanyi discovered that everything had changed. Her former playmate, Han Fengli, had become more and more handsome and elegant, and he was also the nephew of the Empress.

Now that the Queen Mother's lineage had fallen, and the Empress's family was the sole ruler, she suddenly made up her mind to marry him.

When she learned that Han Fengli had not yet married the Crown Prince's wife, she was even more delighted, thinking that Han Fengli was waiting for her return.

So, she deliberately appeared in Han Fengli's sight several times, but Han Fengli seemed not to know her. He just nodded lightly without any enthusiasm.

However, she saw Prince Han and Princess Ronghui together twice in a row, and she was immediately filled with jealousy.

Last night when she went to see the lanterns, she saw men in black kidnapping Princess Ronghui, and she was secretly delighted.

She thought that even if Princess Ronghui survived, her reputation would be ruined. Prince Han would definitely not marry her. This was her chance.

But now, Princess Ronghui not only returned safely with her reputation intact, but also discovered a corpse in Wanhua Tower because of this incident. How could she not be furious?

"Miss, it's because you haven't been in Kyoto all the time, and Prince Han hasn't seen how good you are." The maid said tremblingly to comfort her.

"Hmph, I will never let the prince marry her!" Chen Lanyi said sinisterly, her eyes full of cruelty.
