Chapter 21 The Little Princess Has a Martial Arts Dream 6

During these four years, every time Chu Yuan got news from Xiaodao that Li Ming'an's men were committing crimes, he would beg his two brothers to take him out to play, and then he would run into them.

This meant that whenever the brothers Chu Yu and Chu Yu took their younger sister out, they would encounter the prince's people doing evil, which also made them have a bad impression of the prince.

However, Li Ming'an is a very good pretender. He has never been involved in these things himself, so Chu Yuan has no way to let his father be disappointed in him for the time being.

Things took a turn for the better one afternoon when Chu Yuan took Chunfeng and Qiuyu to Xingfangzhai to buy new cakes and happened to run into Crown Princess Liu Wu there.

Chu Yuan originally wanted to avoid her, but just as he took a step back, he met Liu Wu's eyes. Now he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

"Isn't this Sister Chu Yuan? Are you here to buy some cakes too?"

Nonsense, if you come to a pastry shop and don't buy pastries, can you buy jewelry? Although he thought so in his heart, he saluted her very decently.

"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Crown Princess. I recently heard that Xingfangzhai has launched a new type of lotus crisps, so I came here to buy some."

"Sister, there's no need to be so polite. Just call me sister. We will have many opportunities to spend time together in the future."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan was shocked. He responded casually with a few words, bought some lotus cakes and hurried back home.

She went straight to Liuliyuan and asked someone to call Chu Ting over as well.

Shi Yunshu saw her daughter coming in in a hurry and hurried forward. "Yuanyuan, what's wrong? You look so unhappy."

"Mother, something happened today. I am a little uneasy. I have sent someone to invite father over. Let's talk about it when he arrives."

After a while, Chu Ting came in. Seeing that both mother and daughter looked unhappy, he asked loudly, "What's wrong? Who bullied our Yuanyuan?"

"Hello, father. Today, I went out to buy cakes at Xingfangzhai and ran into the Crown Princess."

"Oh? But did the Crown Princess give you a hard time?"

"That's the weird part. Not only did the Crown Princess not embarrass me, but she asked me to call her sister very affectionately. She also said that we would have many opportunities to spend time together in the future. My daughter is worried..."

"What? Li Ming'an wants my daughter to marry him as a concubine?"

Chu Yuan showed despair and knelt down in front of Chu Ting resolutely, "Daddy, I don't want to marry into the royal family. I beg you to make plans for me."

Shi Yunshu also said: "Yes, my husband, how can Yuanyuan be someone's concubine?"

Chu Ting quickly helped Chu Yuan up, "Yuanyuan, don't worry, Daddy will never agree to this marriage. Now that the Crown Princess can say such words, it must be that the Emperor has revealed this intention to the Crown Prince."

"How about this, Dad, go back and think about it and come back later." After saying this, Chu Ting left in a hurry. I guess he went to discuss countermeasures with his advisers.

Chu Yuan also returned to his own courtyard, "Xiao Dao, do you have any evidence that can bring down the prince in one fell swoop?"

"Host, yes, there is one, but it costs 200 points."

“Spend it, spend it.”

In the original book, the imperial decree was issued to make the original owner the prince's concubine when she reached the age of 15. Chu Yuan also planned to first make Chu Ting disappointed in the prince, and then slowly collect evidence of the prince's crimes.

I didn't expect it to come so early this time, catching Chu Yuan off guard.

Come to think of it, after leaving Qingyu Courtyard, Chu Yuan recovered completely and was able to practice sword every day. The original owner still looked sick at this time.

After the points were deducted, a pile of account books appeared on the table in front of Chu Yuan.

After opening it, it was discovered that this was evidence of the prince's involvement in buying and selling official positions.

"Xiaodao, why is this not included in the memory I received?"

"Host, that's because these account books were the evidence that Li Ming'an kept to control those officials. After he ascended the throne, these account books were destroyed. And those officials who participated in the sale of official positions also became the backbone of the new dynasty. The emperor and the ministers worked together to conceal this matter, so of course it was airtight."

"Hahaha, Xiaodao you are so awesome! I wonder how he can turn things around this time."

Chu Yuan asked Xiaodao to put the evidence in Chu Ting's study while he was away.

After Chu Ting finished discussing things, he returned to the study and found a pile of books on the table. After opening them and reading them, he hurriedly sent someone to invite back several counselors who had just left.

The fact that these evidences appeared in his study at this time shows that the person behind the scenes knew his thoughts very well.

Since it was inconvenient for them to come forward, they wanted to use him to stir up this matter. It seemed that this was the work of a certain prince.

Chu Ting knew that he was being used, but he had no choice but to take the bait. The method they had discussed before had certain risks, and he couldn't risk his daughter's life.

Several counselors returned to the general's mansion and were shocked when they saw the account books. This prince was so bold to be involved in buying and selling officials.

They all agreed that Chu Ting could not be involved in this matter. How could he, a military general, know about such a thing and find evidence?

So Chu Ting went to the Duke Shen's mansion overnight, asked his in-laws for help, and brought up the matter at the morning court tomorrow.

Before marrying into the Duke of Shen's Mansion, Chu Ting had someone investigate the character of the Duke of Shen. Chu Yu was the future heir to the General's Mansion, so his in-laws had to be people of good character and a clean family background.

Chu Ting believed in the character of Duke Shen Guo, and would not betray him even if he was unwilling to help.

When Chu Ting arrived, Duke Shen had already gone to bed. When he heard that it was General Chu who came to visit, he thought something had happened to Lin Qing and hurried to the front hall.

Hearing that Lin Qing was fine and that Chu Ting wanted to discuss something with him, he breathed a sigh of relief and took Chu Ting to the study.

"General Chu, why did you come here so late at night?"

"To be honest with you, Lord Shen, I have something I would like to ask for your help."

"Oh? What is it that General Chu can't do?"

Chu Ting took out an account book and said, "Duke Shen, please take a look."

Duke Shen flipped through a few pages and asked in shock, "Where did you get it?"

"Someone put it in the study while I was away. There are four more account books like this. Duke Shen should know the seriousness of this matter."

"Why put it in your study? As far as I know, General Chu has never been involved in the affairs of the court."

"It's my daughter Chu Yuan. The emperor intends to make her the prince's concubine. I don't want my daughter to be involved in the royal family's disputes, so I am worried about this matter."

Duke Shen Guo saw that he didn't seem to be lying, "How could this be possible? The daughter of a great general who defends the country is married to a concubine. Our emperor really has a good plan."

"You came to me so that I can bring up this case in court?"

"Yes, my identity is inconvenient. After much consideration, I think that you, Duke Shen, are the most suitable. So I dare to come to your house and ask you to present the evidence in the morning court tomorrow."

"I agreed to this, but not for you, but for all the students in the world."

"The Duke is very understanding. Although it is not for me, it can still help me out of my urgent need. Chu Ting will definitely thank you with a generous gift."

"Well, I don't lack those material things. Treating Qing'er well is the best thank you gift."

"Don't worry, Duke. My wife Yunshu loves Qing'er very much and will never let her suffer any injustice."

"You go back now. I'll have someone secretly deliver the other four books to me. I need to study them carefully."

"Okay, I'll take my leave now."
