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

"You have me, and I hope you can rely on me no matter what happens." Chu Yuheng gently kissed Yu Wangfei on the forehead.

"No." Yu Wangfei shook her head. "I'm not the canary you raised. I won't rely on you for everything."

Chu Yuheng certainly knew this. He touched Yu Wangfei's cheek with heartache and pushed her onto the bed.

"But I promise you, if any danger occurs, I will live for myself first." Yu Wangfei looked at him and kissed him actively.

The next morning, Chu Yuheng packed his bags and prepared to return to Beijing.

There is no county magistrate in Ping County now. In order to ensure the normal life of the people in Ping County, Chu Yuheng ordered Wan Pingshen to take charge again and leave after the next county magistrate of Ping County takes office.

On the day Wan Pingshen took office, he cleared out all the brothels, released all the captured women, and put the rich kids in jail.

Because they were in a hurry to return to the capital, Chu Yuheng did not ask anyone to prepare a carriage. Instead, he and Yu Wangfei rode on one horse, while Lu Xiaoting rode alone, and they hurried towards the capital.

The three of them walked for several days and finally arrived in the capital. During their break, Yu Wangfei suddenly saw Yun Hua's earrings.

"Your Highness!" Yu Wangfei was shocked and hurriedly handed the earrings to Chu Yuheng to see.

Why were Yunhua's earrings found on this road? Could it be that they were in danger?

"No way! We're about to enter Beijing, and there are still assassins who want to kill us." Lu Xiaoting shook her head and then clicked her tongue.

At this moment, two people suddenly ran out of the jungle. Chu Yuheng immediately protected Yu Wangfei behind him, drew his sword and rushed forward. Lu Xiaoting also became alert.

After seeing who was coming, Chu Yuheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yunhua and Gu Baili hurried over and saluted Chu Yuheng: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Why are you here?" Yu Wangfei asked.

Previously, in order to let His Majesty know the truth about the Spring Examination Case, Chu Yuheng specifically ordered the two of them to return to the capital first and submit the evidence. Logically, they should have been in the capital by now, so why are they here?

"It's a long story." Gu Baili sighed, "When Yunhua and I walked here, we encountered an assassination attempt, and the evidence of the Spring Examination case was also taken away."

"What!" Lu Xiaoting was furious. "That's how you do things!"

She had suffered too much injustice along the way, and now she wanted to return to Beijing to kill Chu Aotian, but this crucial evidence was lost by them!

"Shut up!" Yu Wangfei glared at her, "Yunhua is mine, it's not your turn to say anything!"

Before Lu Xiaoting could refute, a large number of armored soldiers suddenly emerged from the woods on the other side.

"The princess is right. Your people, what did Miss Lu say?" Chu Aotian rode out slowly on his horse. "I didn't expect that with so many of me going to stop you, you could still come back safely. In this case, don't blame me for being rude. You can't go back to Beijing today no matter what."

He absolutely could not let Chu Yuheng return to the capital, otherwise he would surely die.

Today, even if he has to risk his life, he will kill Chu Yuheng.

"I knew you would come back." Chu Yuheng put away his sword and looked at him calmly.

"Then you should prepare to die. Only if you die, what I did won't be discovered." Chu Aotian laughed loudly, then pointed at Lu Xiaoting, "Miss Lu, if you come over now, I won't kill you."

"If you don't kill me, I'm going to kill you!"

Chu Yuheng ignored the conversation between Lu Xiaoting and Chu Aotian, and said, "Even if I die here today, His Majesty will know about the dirty things you did."

"Are you referring to the evidence of the Chunwei case? It is in my hands." Chu Aotian said with a smile, looking proud.

"Who said I only sent Gu Baili to deliver the evidence?" Chu Yuheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

He had thought early in the morning that letting Yunhua and Gu Baili transport the evidence back to Beijing might be ambushed by Chu Aotian, so he deliberately arranged for the two of them to go in front of everyone, so that he could secretly let the secret guards take another route and send the evidence back.

"You!" Chu Aotian suddenly thought of something and glared at him angrily, "Come here, kill him!"

Yu Wangfei immediately took out the acupuncture bag and looked at everyone vigilantly. If she could get out alive today, she would definitely teach Chu Aotian a lesson. If she died here today, she would have no regrets.

Now that Chu Yuheng has no secret guards around him and Yun Hua is injured, they are definitely no match for this group of soldiers alone.

On the contrary, Lu Xiaoting stood aside and remained unmoved, as if this battle had nothing to do with her.

Just when the soldiers were about to attack Chu Yuheng, Chu Fei suddenly rode over on horseback. He took out the tiger talisman given by the emperor and shouted to everyone, "Here is the tiger talisman. Who dares to act rashly?"

When Chu Yuheng set out from Ping County, he sent a carrier pigeon to Chu Fei, asking him to come and help at the critical moment, but he did not expect that Chu Fei would come directly with the tiger talisman.

The soldiers looked at each other, put down their weapons and dared not move forward.

"Are you all crazy? You are from the eldest prince's mansion. Hurry up and kill Chu Yuheng!" Chu Aotian roared.

He couldn't figure out how Chu Fei got the tiger talisman. Did he have no chance at all? No, he was unwilling to accept that!

"The eldest prince Chu Aotian is committing treason and he must be arrested!" Chu Fei ordered while holding up the tiger talisman.

The soldiers followed the tiger talisman's order and subdued Chu Aotian on the spot.

Chu Fei turned over and dismounted: "Uncle, let's go back to the palace. Father is still waiting for you in the palace."

"Let's go." Chu Yuheng smiled relaxedly, took Yu Wangfei's hand and turned to walk towards the capital.

At this moment in the imperial study, the emperor looked at the evidence handed over by Chu Yuheng with a frown, wishing he could execute Chu Aotian, his troublesome son, in the next second.

He actually dared to arrange his own people in the court. He is not even dead yet, but he is so eager to change the dynasty!

"Your Majesty." The chief eunuch came over holding a letter.

The emperor picked up the envelope, opened it, and sighed heavily after reading it.

About two hours later, Chu Yuheng and Chu Fei entered the palace. They wanted to tell Chu Aotian about his crimes to his face, but the emperor refused to meet them on the grounds of poor health.

As for Chu Aotian, the emperor confined him to the Grand Prince's Mansion and forbade him to go out without reason.

Such a light punishment made Chu Fei so angry that he wanted to rush to the imperial study to argue with the emperor, but fortunately he was stopped by Chu Yuheng.

The mind of the emperor is unpredictable, so as his subjects they should just obey him and not interfere in other matters.

While Chu Yuheng was in the palace, Yu Wangfei secretly drugged Lu Xiaoting, making her drowsy and sleepy all day long, so that she could lock herself up in the general's mansion and be unable to come out to displease her.
