The matter was settled, and everyone lost interest in continuing the dinner, so they dispersed.

In the tent, Chu Wan leaned in Concubine Chun's arms and hummed, feeling a little scared.

Mu Zhuo asked in confusion: "Wan'er, why did you insist on breaking into the prince's tent?"

Chu Wan avoided his gaze.

Of course she couldn't say it because it concerned Zhu Jin's reputation.

Fortunately, Zhu Jin was rescued in time by the Fifth Prince's men, otherwise the matter would have become a big deal. Even though the prince would have been punished, a woman's life would have been ruined.

"Grandfather, I have reasons why I have to go in, but I can't tell you."

Concubine Chun frowned: "You are still so willful, child. If your grandfather had not arrived in time tonight, you would have been stripped of your title and confined to your house."

Concubine Chun looked at her father with gratitude again: "Dad, today is all thanks to you. I thought you were just a money-grubber, but I didn't expect you had a talent for solving cases."

Mu Zhuo waved his hand, walked closer and lowered his voice, "This is not my credit at all."

Chu Wan sat up straight, and she and Concubine Chun both looked curious.

"When I got here, I was stopped by a masked woman in black. She taught me all those methods."

Concubine Chun was filled with shock.

"She can move around here as if she were alone, which shows that her martial arts skills are extremely high. She can also tell at a glance that there is something wrong with Chu Qing's injury, which shows that she understands medical skills and is extremely careful and smart. When did our family get to know such a person?"

Mu Zhuo thought for a long time but still had no clue.

"This girl has no ill will towards us. On the contrary, she has helped us so much. If we find her benefactor, we must thank her sincerely."

Concubine Chun nodded.

"This time, the Crown Prince and Chu Qing actually used such despicable means to frame Wan'er..."

Mu Zhuo's face suddenly turned cold: "He came here for my father. The Ministry of Works embezzled money and cut off the prince's money. It has only been a short time, and he wants to repeat the same trick. As the Minister of Revenue, in charge of Dongling's money, how can I fall twice in the same place? He wants to show me his power."

Chu Wan gloated: "But this time they shot themselves in the foot."

Mu Zhuo sighed worriedly.

It is really unfortunate for Dongling to have such a crown prince who is not upright, reckless, ignorant and narrow-minded.

But in the battle with Northern Qi more than ten years ago, some generals died, some were injured, and some are still missing. Only a few people from the Wei family are left who can take on the task.

There is no one else available in the court except the Wei family, and the emperor is in a difficult situation.

At this time, another person who felt disappointed with the prince and sad for Dongling was Master Zhu.

Looking at his daughter lying on the bed with a pale face, he wanted to rush to the royal tent, grab the prince and beat him up.

He has even punished the emperor with a ruler, so why would he be afraid of a prince?

But for the sake of his daughter's reputation and to avoid implicating the girl from the Cheng family, he gritted his teeth and endured it with red eyes.

"Dad, I'm sorry to have made you worry." Zhu Jin felt weak all over, with fear on his face.

"Tomorrow morning, Dad will have someone send you back first."

"Yeah. Fortunately, Sister Cheng is here this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. And Princess Yongle, she almost suffered injustice because of me."

Master Zhu nodded. The second daughter of the Cheng family had saved his daughter twice and was a great benefactor of the Zhu family.

Miss Cheng is truly a powerful person, as she was able to bring people out of the royal tent without anyone noticing.

As for the prince.

It is extremely despicable to force his daughter in this way again and again.

It is a great misfortune that Dongling has such a crown prince.

The first time, he wanted to make a death-defying remonstrance to the emperor and appoint another crown prince.

He missed the past very much.

At that time, the emperor and empress were in harmony, the former crown prince was benevolent, and there were many talented people in the court. There was no need to worry about the prosperity of Dongling.

Now, the Wei family is all-powerful, and only the Third Prince can compete with them in some aspects.

But in his opinion, the Third Prince might not be much better than the Crown Prince.

It's just that one is openly vicious, and the other likes to play dirty. It really seems like God wants to destroy Dongling!

The old tutor, who had been honest, loyal and patriotic all his life, suddenly felt a little sad.

……

It was supposed to be a winter hunting dinner, but it ended up being so thrilling.

After Cheng Jiuyuan finished washing up, she asked the Mu Jin sisters to go downstairs and rest.

She leaned against the head of the bed and read for a while. When she felt sleepy, she put down the book.

She was about to undress when she thought of something. She raised her hand and the lights in the tent were turned off, leaving only one outside. She then went to sleep with her clothes on.

A crescent moon hung in the deep sky, and its cold light enveloped the tent.

Low-hanging clouds swept across the night sky, and the cold wind blew the shadows of the trees and the tents, making a "humming" sound.

When the crescent moon disappeared into the clouds, the earth became dark.

A ghostly black shadow quickly shuttled between the tents.

The bamboo tube was inserted into the tent, sending smoke into the tent.

After waiting for a while, a black shadow flashed into the tent and quickly rushed towards the person on the bed.

He rolled the man up and carried him on his shoulders and quickly walked out of the tent. After a few leaps, he reached the woods.

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips, this was quite thoughtful, it was quite warm wrapped in the quilt.

"Coming?" A familiar hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded.

The man threw the person on his shoulders to the ground.

"Hang her up."

"I am a royal secret guard. Who are you? Do you dare to order me around? Now that the person is here, it's none of my business."

After saying that, the secret guard stood aside holding the sword.

"Hurry up, I have to take you away after I'm done with it."

The man wrapped in a black cloak slowly stepped forward and pulled out a dagger from his waist.

An unpleasant and creepy laugh came out of his mouth: "Ho ho ho... cough cough cough..."

He laughed and then started coughing violently again.

The secret guard frowned and gave the useless guy a cold look.

"Cheng Jiuyuan, you have come to this day!"

Cheng Jiuyuan felt him approaching and squatted down.

His dagger moved on her face: "Sister, don't blame me for being cruel, blame the Pei family for causing me to be like this."

"Don't they treasure you? If you died miserably, with your body gnawed by wild beasts, do you think they would be very sad?"

"Tsk, just kill him if you want to, why are you talking so much nonsense!" The secret guard couldn't stand it anymore and urged him with a frown.

"What do you know? Do you know the pain I've been going through for the past seven or eight years?"

The secret guard rolled his eyes. What the hell, why should he want to understand the pain of a loser?

The black-robed man continued to lower his head, whispering like a devil.

"Cheng Jiuyuan, how about you scratch your face first, then chop off your limbs, and finally cut off your tongue?"

"Okay." The unconscious person suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him with a smile.

The man in black robe was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

"Fuck!" The secret guard was also frightened and came over and raised his hand to knock her out.

Cheng Jiuyuan jumped up, took out the sword from his waist and rushed forward.

"He's a martial artist!" the secret guard was shocked.

The man in black robe was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

She, she actually knows martial arts!

But with the Royal Guards here, no matter how skilled she is...

Before he could finish his thought, the Royal Guard fell from the air.

"You cheated!" the secret guard gritted his teeth.

"All's fair in war. Besides, you kidnapped me and you expect me to treat you with courtesy?" Cheng Jiuyuan stepped forward and tapped the royal secret guard a few times, and the guard became speechless and unable to move.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black robe immediately ran away.

Biluo flew out of Cheng Jiuyuan's sleeve and instantly trapped him like a cicada cocoon.

"Brother, you just said you would scratch my face and break my limbs, why are you running now?" Cheng Jiuyuan walked forward with a smile and waved his hand. The cloak of the man in black fell off, revealing an ugly head.

The burns had already scabbed over, leaving scarlet, twisted scars on his face and head, which was particularly horrific.

But Cheng Jiuyuan's expression did not change at all, and she still walked forward with a smile on her face.
