I married the wrong man, and I sent him and his whole family to be executed.

Upon hearing Sima Ru's name, Chu Yuheng looked at Li Xingtang in disbelief, and Yu Wangfei was even more surprised.

She had been with Li Xingtang for so long, but she didn't notice that he was wearing a human skin mask. How could this be?

"Your humble servant greets the Ninth Prince and the Princess." County Lieutenant Sima bowed respectfully to Chu Yuheng.

"Are you Li Xingtang or Sima Ru?" Yu Wangfei asked puzzledly.

"I am Sima Ru, the county lieutenant of Jiangnan City. Li Xingtang is now in the mountain stronghold." County Lieutenant Sima reported truthfully.

The last time he was assassinated by Mo Ruyi and his men, it was the second in command of the stronghold who saved him and took him to the stronghold to recuperate. He has been hiding in the stronghold for some time, until he heard that the Ninth Prince was captured, he realized that he had to come forward.

However, if he rashly appeared in Jiangnan City, he would definitely be hunted down by Mo Ruyi. In desperation, he told the second in command about his concerns, and the second in command directly gave him a human skin mask of Li Xingtang and asked him to go down the mountain with Yu Wangfei.

At this time, Wan Pingshen and Yunhua hurried over to report: "The riot in the city has been brought under control, and the innocent people detained in the county government have been released."

"Okay." Chu Yuheng looked down at everyone and waved his sleeves domineeringly.

After everything was settled, it was time to start investigating the Chunwei case, so Chu Yuheng chose to hold the trial in the county government office and let the people of Jiangnan City come to watch. Lu Xiaoting also took this opportunity to hide among the secret guards, thinking of finding a chance to explain things to Chu Yuheng.

However, if Mo Ruyi and Yu Wangfei didn't mention it, she wouldn't take the initiative to bring up those things.

When the court session began, County Lieutenant Sima took the initiative to report: "Your Majesty, these are the evidences I have collected about the Spring Examination case."

After seeing the evidence, Chu Yuheng confirmed his guess.

In this spring examination, all the students elected in Jiangnan City had extraordinary backgrounds and now held important positions in the court. Even half of them joined Chu Aotian's team.

It can be said that now in the court, Chu Fei and Chu Aotian are on the same team, and because of the participation of these students, Chu Aotian's team has surpassed Chu Fei's team.

Therefore, Chu Yuheng guessed early on that it was Chu Aotian's doing, but when he came to Jiangnan City to collect evidence, he found that all the evidence had been destroyed or there was no trace of it.

Later, it was discovered that it was Sima County Wei who collected all the evidence and wanted to go to Beijing to seek justice for the failed students, so Chu Yuheng ordered an investigation into Sima Ru's whereabouts.

"Okay, when I return to the capital, I will hand over all the evidence to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty make the decision." Chu Yuheng was intimidating without being angry. "I will definitely beg Your Majesty to give these students justice."

"Thank you, Ninth Prince." County Lieutenant Sima bowed respectfully. He knew Chu Yuheng's character, so he naturally felt at ease handing over the evidence.

The Chunwei case has been handled, and the next thing to do is to deal with Mo Ruyi.

"How dare you, Mo Ruyi, kidnap the Ninth Prince! You deserve to die!" Sima Ru pointed at Mo Ruyi and cursed, "Why don't you confess the truth about who is behind you!"

"I accept the consequences of falling into your hands. If you have the guts, kill me. I will never betray my master." Mo Ruyi looked at them with disdain.

Originally he thought there was still hope for survival, but he didn't expect it to be a dead end. Anyway, he would die whether he spoke or not, so he definitely didn't want Chu Yuheng to get his wish.

"If you don't tell me, I won't know it, right?" Chu Yuheng smiled contemptuously, walked down slowly, leaned over and whispered in Mo Ruyi's ear, "The person behind you must be the eldest prince Chu Aotian, right?"

Hearing this, Mo Ruyi's pupils tightened, and he immediately replied tremblingly: "No, it's not."

Seeing him like this, Chu Yuheng knew that he had guessed right, so he said calmly: "I already know the truth, someone take him away and execute him on a chosen day!"

“No, no…” Mo Ruyi was taken away like this.

It goes without saying that this was all Chu Aotian's conspiracy. He didn't want Chu Yuheng to return to the capital safely, so he planned a wave of assassinations on the road, and then asked Mo Ruyi to assassinate him in Jiangnan.

It seems that their return journey is also full of dangers.

"County Magistrate Lin, the next step is up to you." Chu Yuheng looked at County Magistrate Lin and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After explaining the rest of the things, Chu Yuheng took the initiative to hold Yu Wangfei's hand, ready to accompany her to stroll around the Jiangnan city.

They had been here for a long time, but the two of them had never really walked around, so Chu Yuheng felt particularly indebted to Yu Wangfei.

The two walked side by side in the alleys of Jiangnan. Yu Wangfei couldn't help but ask, "Aren't all the guards who followed us dead? Who are those secret guards?"

If Chu Yuheng had told him earlier that he had other arrangements, Yu Wangfei would not have worried about it for so long.

"Secret guards must hide in the dark, otherwise the enemy will not take the bait." Chu Yuheng curled his lips and chuckled, "But what I didn't expect was that Feifei could actually call on the people of Jiangnan City to surround the county government office."

Chu Yuheng's original plan was to wait for Sima Ru to appear before letting the secret guards take action, because he was not sure whether Sima Ru had defeated Chu Aotian.

But his own secret guard suddenly came wearing a mask and said that Mo Ruyi wanted to transfer them to detention. He then guessed that Yu Wangfei was behind this.

"I said I could save you." Yu Wangfei raised his head proudly.

After she came out of the rockery, she successfully entered Miss Lin's room, and thus left Jiangnan City and went to the village.

After returning to the village, Yu Wangfei informed Wan Pingshen of everything that happened in Jiangnan City. Their original plan was to have spies in the village spread Chu Yuheng's identity in the city and instigate the people to surround the county government office, so that Mo Ruyi would have no time to take care of the Lin Mansion and the flower boat, and would go to the county government office to appease the people.

Wan Pingshen took advantage of this opportunity to lead everyone in the stronghold into the city and rescue Chu Yuheng. She and County Magistrate Lin quietly left through the secret passage of the Lin Mansion.

However, what Chu Yuheng didn't expect was that after hearing the news that the people were besieging the county government office, he instantly understood Yu Wangfei's intention and followed her plan.

"Thank you, ma'am." Chu Yuheng bowed.

As they were talking, the two came to a stall. The stall owner recognized Chu Yuheng at a glance and warmly invited them to sit down.

"The prince is here." The vendor smiled and brought two bowls of dumpling noodles, introducing them enthusiastically, "This is a specialty of our Jiangnan City. Your Highness and Princess, please have a try."

"Go ahead." Chu Yuheng invited Yu Wangfei to take a seat, then took out chopsticks and handed them to Yu Wangfei.

Yu Wangfei took the chopsticks and took a bite of the dumpling noodles. She said in surprise, "It tastes good. I didn't expect that dumplings and noodles can be eaten together."

"A local specialty," the vendor said with a smile, "my wife loved eating this when she was alive."

Hearing this, Yu Wangfei put down her chopsticks awkwardly, and Chu Yuheng gave her a comforting look.
