Prince Jing nodded slightly, indicating his agreement. His eyes were full of tenderness and doting, and he looked at Zhu Yu and said, "Ayu, in fact, I have already told the people below that you are the master of this palace, and everyone must obey your orders, including myself, of course. So there is no such thing as making decisions on your own. Everything my Ayu does is just right and completely in line with my wishes."

A mechanical voice of the system sounded in Zhu Yu's mind: Congratulations to the host, the blackening value has been reduced by 20. The current blackening value is 42%, only 30% away from 12%. Come on, host.

Hearing this, Zhu Yu smiled brightly. She walked briskly to Prince Jing and sat down again. Although there was worry in her eyes, she was more determined and courageous: "These assassins are very skilled and determined. If the assassination fails this time, they will definitely not give up and will definitely look for other opportunities. Therefore, we must be extra vigilant." Then, she told Prince Jing that the news of the incident had been passed to the palace, which aroused the emperor's anger and sent several more secret guards to protect Prince Jing. At the same time, she also revealed the situation to her father, hoping that the whole family would be more vigilant.

Prince Jing slowly stretched out his hand from under the quilt and held Zhu Yu's hand tightly, as if he was afraid of losing her. He gently squeezed Zhu Yu's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Yu, this is just a minor injury, you can recover as long as you rest for a while. But you'd better stay in the palace during this period, after all, my sister-in-law in the Prime Minister's Mansion is pregnant, and my brother may not be able to take care of himself."

Zhu Yu hesitated for a moment and then nodded gently. She knew what Prince Jing was thinking. He was indeed worried about her safety, but he also wanted to keep her by his side every day. "You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days, Yu. Before we get married, I will definitely root out these people." Prince Jing's eyes flashed with determination.

Prince Jing was working on the final arrangements, waiting for everything to be ready so that all the evidence of the Crown Prince's party could be announced to the court. However, that evening, news came that Prince Cheng had committed suicide in the study room of his own mansion. Also in the study room were evidence of his embezzlement and a suicide note, in which he tearfully described the process and reasons for his embezzlement. After Prince Jing's people and the Ministry of Justice checked, they felt that the evidence could apparently settle the matter, but Prince Jing disagreed.

Prince Jing was wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with silver thread, and delicate cloud patterns on the sleeves and collar, which made him look tall and noble. He sat on a chair, his face as gloomy as the sky before a storm, with a hint of coldness, but a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.

"You want to use King Cheng's death to settle this matter, but you don't even think about whether I can agree to it." King Jing's voice was low and cold, as if it carried a chill that made people shudder.

His fingers tapped the tabletop slowly and regularly, as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, he raised his head, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Go, spread the news. When the Ministry of Justice was investigating the matter of King Cheng, they found that Liu Hong's youngest son seemed to have some useful information in his hands."

Isn't it true that a gecko must cut off its tail to survive? Let's see where he cuts it this time. The corners of Prince Jing's mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of a cold smile. The prince's party is really useless.

"If you send someone to find out the whereabouts of King Cheng's family after his death, then you are willing to take the blame. Then none of his family members can be left behind and they must accompany him on the journey."
