After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

The night deepened and the moon was hanging high in the sky. After receiving Jiang Zhen's secret letter, Cui Rong changed into night clothes and went to Luoxian Tower quietly.

Jiang Zhen and Mu Fan had been waiting in the room for a long time, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn.

Cui Rong first looked at Mu Fan, with a hint of tentativeness in her voice: "Mr. Mu, have you thought it through?"

Mu Fan nodded solemnly, his eyes flashing with determination: "As long as the safety of my family can be ensured, I am willing to pay this price. I just hope Miss Cui can keep her promise."

"We will have more cooperation in the future. I have no reason to lie to you." Cui Rongrong said firmly, "Where are the things you brought?"

After receiving a positive answer, Mu Fan quickly and carefully handed her the method of making a Gu, and at the same time reminded her: "Miss Cui, please remember this information and destroy it immediately. Do not let any third person know about it. This is a secret between us."

After saying that, he glanced meaningfully at Jiang Zhen beside him.

Jiang Zhen raised his eyebrows, but did not express any opinion. He just observed everything quietly.

Cui Rongrong browsed through the contents on the paper at an astonishing speed, then tightly grasped the paper, used her internal force to shatter it into pieces, and with a slight flick, the pieces carrying the secrets fell into the brazier and turned into a wisp of green smoke.

"I will arrange to rescue your family as soon as possible. During this period, you just need to live your life as usual. If there is any help you need, I will take the initiative to find you." Cui Rongrong made a promise.

Mu Fan nodded gratefully and said, "Then I won't interrupt Miss Cui and Building Master Jiang's conversation."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and nimbly climbed out of the window, disappearing into the night.

Cui Rongrong and Jiang Zhen were the only ones left in the room. Jiang Zhen spoke up with a hint of amusement in his tone: "Ms. Shen actually came to the palace to ask to see the prince today. She is quite courageous. She even dared to threaten the prince to save her father."

"Although the prince agreed on the surface, he was said to be furious after leaving the palace. It seems that even if Lord Zhao is rescued, their relationship will hardly return to the way it was before." Jiang Zhen continued.

Cui Rongrong didn't care about this. She said lightly: "The fate of a family is linked. If Lord Zhao is imprisoned for a long time, not only will he suffer physically, but it will also be a great damage to the family's honor. It is understandable that she can make such a decisive choice. Even if the prince takes action afterwards, it is the result she must bear."

Jiang Zhen looked at her with a smile: "Miss Cui seems to have anticipated this? Is this also part of your careful planning?"

Cui Rongrong did not answer directly, but said lightly: "I just provided some ideas to Miss Zhao. As for how to act, it is entirely up to her."

The Zhao family has always been the prince's strongest backing. At Song Yanyi's command, everyone in the Zhao family would go through fire and water to fulfill his promise.

Now, she has caused the emperor to have a grudge against the Zhao family, and secretly instigated Zhao Xian'er to threaten Song Yanyi, which has undoubtedly planted a thorn in Song Yanyi's heart.

Although Lord Zhao finally walked out of the gloomy and terrifying prison safely, a corner of the Zhao family's sky seemed to have collapsed.

To regain the momentum and restore the past glory is as difficult as climbing to heaven.

Two days later, Cui Rongrong learned from Cui Min that Lord Zhao had been released from the Ministry of Justice prison.

Cui Min sighed: "Although Lord Zhao has been released, his overall condition is not as good as before. You can imagine how difficult his life in prison was. Moreover, his official position has plummeted. Now he is only a left assistant. His former glory is gone."

"Master Zhao's days ahead will probably be difficult..."

As she spoke, Cui Rong's brows slightly frowned, and although her tone was calm, she could not hide her worry.

She gently waved her folding fan, her eyes looking into the distance.

"The Emperor only punished Lord Zhao by exiling him for his misbehavior in the court. This is a special favor based on his past contributions."

There was a hint of sigh in Cui Rong's voice. In the court, one wrong step could lead to eternal damnation. It was really a stroke of luck that Lord Zhao was able to escape unscathed this time.

"No matter how high or low your official position is, Lord Zhao should be content to continue to share the emperor's worries."

Cui Min's deep eyes flashed with a hint of approval. He nodded gently and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Some time ago, I received an urgent military intelligence report from Deputy General Xu, saying that the border frequently sent troops to the border to roam around, harassing them from time to time, teasing our soldiers and then quickly retreating, causing low morale in the army and making them miserable."

"This behavior is clearly intended to disrupt our military morale and make the soldiers afraid before the battle even begins! It's really hateful!" Cui Rong's tone was firm, and her eyes were flashing with indignation.

"Since father has seen through their intentions, he will naturally not let them control him." Cui Rongrong's words were gentle but powerful. She believed in her father's wisdom and decision-making.

"Right now, Lieutenant General Xu's primary task is to stabilize the morale of the troops and prevent the enemy's conspiracy from succeeding. Then, look for opportunities to counterattack and win in one fell swoop." Her words were full of expectations, as if she had already seen the dawn of victory.

Cui Min smiled happily, and that smile contained approval for his daughter's opinion. "Xunrong's idea is the same as mine. I have already written back to him. Deputy General Xu is a man of character. He will definitely defeat the enemy."

His faith is as firm as a rock.

After the father and daughter discussed border affairs in detail in the study, Cui Rongrong left the study with light steps.

Back in the courtyard, a breeze blew past, causing her clothes to flutter. She began to think in her mind that the Wanqi Pavilion was making weapons at a very fast speed. Now that several days have passed, the project must be nearing completion.

She imagined that once Zhang Wen got these weapons, he would be able to catch the enemy off guard on the battlefield, and she couldn't help but feel excited.

However, her thoughts flashed by and she thought of Zhao Xianer from the Zhao Mansion again.

Today, Zhao Xianer's father returns home, so the Zhao Mansion must be bustling with activity. However, behind this bustle lies the Zhao Family's precarious situation.

Outside the Zhao residence, Zhao Xian'er and Madam Zhao were waiting anxiously. Their figures lengthened in the setting sun, making them look particularly lonely.

Seeing Zhao's father's carriage slowly approaching, their eyes couldn't help but well up.

They hurried forward to greet him, and when they saw the haggard appearance of Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao could no longer hold back her tears and they flowed down.

"As long as you come back safely! If you have anything to say, let's talk when we get home!" She choked with sobs, full of heartache and relief.

The whole Zhao residence became busy because of the return of Zhao's father. The servants walked in a hurry but could not hide the joy on their faces.

Zhao Xian'er looked at her tired father with mixed feelings. She knew very well that her father needed rest, so after a few simple greetings, she quietly returned to her yard.
