I just want to rob you of your luck

Zhou Yichen looked at Zhou Yixuan coldly: "Brother, there is no need to bother with this. I am now the Prince of Liang appointed by my father, and I will be the Crown Prince in the future.

I will do whatever you cannot do for you. Mother will definitely be pleased when she knows this.

Today, I specially sent your princess to reunite with you. This is my brother's token of love for you. You two should spend the rest of your lives together here."

"No, I don't want to stay here. Send me back. I am the Seventh Prince's Consort, the one His Majesty has arranged to marry. You can't do this to me!"

Hu Yunshao cried out first. She had been raised under the protection of others since she was a child, and was surrounded by servants wherever she went. How could she endure such a life?

Lin Jiuer burst out laughing.

"Shouldn't the Seventh Prince's Consort stay with the Seventh Prince? You keep saying that you love the Seventh Prince.

You've been dreaming about finding the real Seventh Prince, and now we've helped you fulfill your wish, why are you still unwilling?"

Hu Yunshao was so angry that he wanted to tear Lin Jiuer's pretty face to pieces, but unfortunately she was tied up like a dumpling and couldn't move.

She knew that she was now at the mercy of others and that a head-on confrontation would not work, so she had to settle for the next best option.

"Lin Jiuer, since the Seventh Prince is here, I can stay here, but I want to contact my family. You won't refuse this request, right?

Don't worry, I won't reveal the true identity of His Royal Highness Prince Liang, I just want your family to send some silver and daily necessities."

Lin Jiuer sighed: "Look at my memory, I forgot to inform you of such a big thing. Not long ago, your elder brother helped Prince An train his private soldiers to rebel.

All the male members of your general's family have been beheaded, including your father Hu Lie. The women in the general's family have been made slaves, so I'm afraid they can't help you."

"Ah~! No! You're lying! How could my elder brother be planning a rebellion! My father is a first-rank general! His Majesty won't kill him! You're lying!"

Hu Yunshao was now completely broken down. She kept crying and shouting. She really couldn't imagine that Hu Lie was helping her investigate the affairs of the Seventh Prince half a month ago.

He even went to see the emperor with her, so how come the General's Mansion was convicted in just a dozen days?

Zhou Yichen snorted coldly: "How could you be unaware of whether your elder brother was plotting a rebellion? I saved your life, you should be content. If you don't want to die, just stay here obediently!"

Zhou Yixuan also despaired after hearing these things. He knew that everything was over. Even the General’s Mansion had collapsed. Who could he count on to save him?

Lin Jiuer took out two more pills and stuffed them into Hu Yunshao and Zhou Yixuan's mouths.

This medicine will make people weak and dumb so that they will not say things that they should not say.

"Your Highness, let's go."

Zhou Yichen nodded, took Lin Jiuer's hand and walked out of the house.

Several people went to the next house, which was where Tao Bo lived.

The house was spacious and bright. Although the furnishings inside were simple, they were carefully decorated and were much better than the place I had lived in before in the village.

After everyone sat down, Tao Bo made a pot of tea and Lin Jiuer quickly took the teapot.

"Tao Bo, let me come, you can chat with His Highness."

Lin Jiuer personally poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them.

Zhou Yichen looked at Tao Bo and said, "Now that I have established a firm foothold in the court, do you want to come back with me? I will build a yard for you in the Liang Wang Mansion. You don't need to work. You can live there in your old age, right?"

Tao Bo thought about it and shook his head. He was afraid that his appearance would cause trouble for Zhou Yichen. After all, he was a person from the palace.

Plus, he is used to living here and can help His Highness look after Zhou Yixuan and Hu Yunshao.

"I'd better stay here. The environment here is nice and I'm used to living here. I can also help Your Highness keep an eye on those two."

Lin Jiuer saw what Tao Bo meant, thought for a moment and said, "Then let Tao Bo live here temporarily. When we have accomplished our great cause in the future, we can take him out."

Tao Bo looked at Lin Jiuer with admiration. Only such an intelligent woman could be worthy of His Highness.

Zhou Yichen didn't force it anymore and told Tao Bo what happened after he went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion.

Tao Bo listened very carefully. He knew that Zhou Yichen and Lin Jiuer were also walking on thin ice in the beginning, and Lin Jiuer played an indispensable role in their current situation.

There was more gratitude in the look he gave Lin Jiuer.

At noon, the chef on the farm prepared the meal. The three of them had lunch together, and then Zhou Yichen and Lin Jiuer left.

Before leaving, Zhou Yichen left a silver note worth one thousand taels for Tao Bo and asked the village head to take good care of Tao Bo.

Lin Jiuer was leaning on Zhou Yichen in the car and pretending to take a nap, but she actually opened the system task panel.

She saw that the system task had reached 70%, which was a little less than she expected. She was still worried about her grandmother's condition and felt a little anxious.

The days that followed were peaceful and fulfilling.

Lin Jiuer was busy making money, and occasionally she would make some cakes and go to the palace to visit the Queen Mother and pay homage to the Queen.

Help Zhou Yichen maintain his relationship with the upper echelons.

Zhou Yichen sent his confidant to investigate the affairs of King Qi.

They soon found the manor where the King of Qi imprisoned the boys and girls.

He ordered his men to kidnap a boy from a relative's family in the Duke's Mansion, knock him unconscious and send him to the vicinity of the farm.

Sure enough, he was discovered by the people inside and taken in.

He found a way to leak the news about the child to the Duke's Mansion, and then arranged for people from the Dali Temple to investigate the case nearby.

So the guards from the Duke's Mansion found the manor, but the people inside were unwilling to open the door, so the guards broke in and had a fierce confrontation with the guards inside.

He was discovered by officials from the Dali Temple who were investigating a case nearby. After entering, the officials found something wrong.

He helped the Duke's Mansion to subdue the guards inside, and rescued dozens of boys and girls by following the clues.

Naturally, the Duke reported this matter to His Majesty, who was furious.

He personally interrogated the captured guards and only then did he find out that this Zhuangzi belonged to the King of Qi.

Your Majesty has personally seen these boys and girls, and found that most of them have been tortured to the point of losing their childish spirituality.

He was painfully aware that his favorite princes were actually doing shady things behind his back.

Especially what the King of Qi did was simply against the will of heaven and could not be tolerated by heaven.

In a rage, he wanted to sentence the King of Qi to death directly, but Concubine Shu received the news and came to plead for mercy.

In the end, Emperor Nanmo softened his heart and demoted the Prince of Qi to a commoner and confined him to the clan house.

And Shufei was also demoted to a noble lady and was no longer favored.

After dealing with these matters, the royal family posted notices asking families of lost children to come and claim them.

Most of the boys' parents were there, but there were still a dozen girls aged between 8 and 12 who were not wanted.

When Lin Jiuer heard the news, she sighed in her heart. In this era, if a woman lost her virginity before marriage, it would be a great shame to her family.

They have lost their usefulness, not to mention that these girls have been violated by countless beasts.

Once those parents know the truth, they will naturally not want these children anymore.

If this continues, these girls will soon wither and die like flowers, and there are only two paths waiting for them.

Maybe I will continue to degenerate into prostitution, or maybe I will die.

Lin Jiuer decided to help them.
