Xie Qiheng couldn't help but feel a little distracted. He didn't want to let go at all, so he really didn't let go immediately.

Instead, he secretly stroked Chu Jing's wrist with his fingertips.

"Don't go, I'm telling you, isn't that enough?"

Chu Jing bumped into Xie Qiheng's chest. She was stunned for a moment, and then she felt Xie Qiheng's small movements.

She was almost laughing out of anger. This guy evolved so fast!

She broke free from Xie Qiheng's hand, and Xie Qiheng didn't dare to use force and let go immediately.

He glanced away guiltily and hid his hand, which had just done the evil, behind his back.

Immediately change the subject, "Xiao Jing, don't you want to know the specific circumstances of the prince's injury? I'll tell you right away."

"..."

At that time, Xie Qiheng met the prince in the forest. They happened to see a deer in the forest. The prince took the initiative to challenge Xie Qiheng, saying that whoever hunted the deer first would win, and both of them put up a prize.

Of course Xie Qiheng agreed.

Then the two sides began to chase each other in the forest.

The deer was extremely fast and escaped into a dense forest, where it disappeared without a trace.

The prince and Xie Qiheng split up and went after them.

"Before I could even find the deer, I heard a commotion in the distance. I looked over and saw that the prince's horse had frightened and rolled down the hillside..."

Xie Qiheng said a lot more details than she heard.

But no matter how you listen to it, it's a surprise. After all, it was the prince who first mentioned this competition.

Moreover, the prince was with his own men when the incident happened, and there was no mention of any mistakes made by his men.

"So that's how it is." Chu Jing nodded after hearing this, "It seems like it was just an accident after all."

Xie Qiheng: "What else do you think it is?"

Chu Jing said jokingly, "I thought someone had tampered with the prince's horse."

Since there is no emergency, it can only be a problem with the horse.

Chu Jing said goodbye to Xie Qiheng and was hit on the head as soon as he saw Xia Bin.

Xia Bin: "I heard you met that scoundrel again? And even spoke to him alone? Little sister, can you please have a little more basic vigilance?"

Chu Jing didn't bother to pay attention to what Xia Bin said. She said directly: "Is it wrong that there are three parties involved this time?"

Since Xia Bin said it was interesting, it is likely that the Xia family is not the most important party.

Xie Qiheng is definitely involved, but since it was only Xie Qiheng who took action, Xia Bin would definitely not sit there and watch with gloating interest.

So besides the Xia family and Xie Qiheng, someone else also played a role in the prince's misfortune.

This person should be a prince who is eyeing the throne.

Xia Bin immediately realized what Chu Jing was talking about. Hearing Chu Jing say that, he smiled with some relief, but also with a hint of pride, "More than that! It's even more interesting than this!"

On the last day of the Spring Search, the matter of the Crown Prince being injured came to light.

A groom who was feeding the horses was pushed out, and the one who ordered him was an unpopular but ambitious prince.

The prince did not plead guilty at first, but with the evidence before him, he had no choice but to admit it.

The emperor was furious and ordered his men to chop the groom and kill the horse that the prince was riding when he was injured. He was about to punish the culprit, the prince, severely when the prince stepped forward to stop him.

He said that it was the prince who caused him to fall from his horse and injure his leg, but after all, they were brothers and he was willing to forgive him this time, as long as he gave him a slight punishment so as not to damage their brotherhood.

Besides, his leg can be healed. If it really cannot be cured, it will not be too late to punish him severely.

Upon hearing this, the emperor sighed and said that the prince was still too kind, but he also followed the prince's wishes and reduced the punishment for that prince.

Chu Jing was not present at the time, but when she heard the news, she naturally understood that the prince was just a scapegoat pushed forward by the real mastermind behind the scenes.

The spring collection has come to an end.

Chu Jing returned home again.

After a long time, I heard that King Cheng was about to return to the capital.

The prince's legs in the palace have mostly healed, and he can walk, but he doesn't want to walk in front of people. He doesn't want others to see his limp.

How can you let people see this ugly state?

He will rule the world in the future!

Upon receiving the news that King Cheng would arrive in the capital in three days, the prince finally could not sit still and went to find the emperor.

"I wonder if Father has heard the rumor that Prince Cheng intends to marry Princess Anyang?"

The emperor nodded calmly, "I've heard a little bit about it."

Seeing that the emperor was not at all interested in this matter, Xie Tingxuan quickly spoke up, "Father, if Prince Cheng returns to the capital now and wishes to ask for Princess Anyang to marry his son, what do you think?"

The emperor thought for two seconds, "So what if he wants to marry me?"

Xie Tingxuan: "Father! This is absolutely unacceptable! If Prince Cheng marries into the Xia family, wouldn't he be even more powerful than a tiger with wings if he gets the Xia family's help? What if Prince Cheng establishes his own fiefdom, commands his own army, and uses the Xia family to build his kingdom?"

The emperor dropped the memorial in his hand and laughed heartily. "Prince Cheng has no ambition and no foresight. How could he possibly plot against my kingdom? The Xia family has been a family of loyal ministers and capable generals for generations. How could they rebel over a mere marriage?"

Xie Tingxuan: "...Father, the Xia family is powerful, so it's inevitable that they will have ulterior motives. We must be on guard!"

The emperor shook his head, completely disbelieving what the prince said. "I know you intend to marry Anyang as your princess. If Anyang is willing to marry you, I will grant you the marriage. But if Anyang doesn't want to marry you and chooses someone else, it's not a big deal. She's just a woman!"

Xie Qiheng liked Anyang, and the emperor was happy to oblige him.

After all, using a woman can destroy his ambition and make him behave himself, so why not do it?

Just because King Cheng went to such lengths for a woman back then, he really didn't want to break up the couple.

If you are not careful, you might end up making things worse and driving the madman even mad.

Seeing that the emperor was so determined, the prince had no choice but to return in defeat.

The emperor wanted to stabilize Prince Cheng and Prince Cheng's position and was willing to exchange a woman for the stability and peace of the country. However, for the prince, the strength of the Xia family was a guarantee that he could ascend the throne stably.

On this issue, the two people's interests were not unified, so they had a disagreement.

The prince did not want to give up, but now he was unable to walk, and his previous attempts to use the Sixth Princess to create opportunities had not brought any changes, so he was now even more helpless.

Three days later, King Cheng arrived in Beijing as scheduled.

The emperor immediately received King Cheng, and the two brothers drank and talked happily all night long.

After a hearty reunion with the brothers, Prince Cheng finally told the emperor one of the purposes of his visit to Beijing.

"I will tell you the truth, my Royal Brother, I came to the capital for two reasons: one is to visit you, the other is to arrange the marriage of that rebellious son."
