Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Princess Wan'er's heart knot was untied, and the emperor felt unprecedented relief and relief.

When Murong Chen heard Xue Yao calling him by his name, his eyebrows raised slightly and he was stunned for a long time.

He had never imagined that this seemingly gentle woman would address him by name so directly. This address seemed to bring them closer together, and a sense of inexplicable grief welled up in his heart.

He had never expected that Xueyao would know his real name. Looking at Xueyao's half-smile, he finally realized that Xueyao already knew his identity and that her offer to help him pick up his family was just a test or a tease.

Teasing him?

Murong Chen coughed lightly, trying to cover up his loss of composure. He raised his head and looked into Xue Yao's clear eyes, his heart moved. This woman always managed to touch the softest part of his heart without him noticing.

"Miss Xueyao, you..." Murong Chen hesitated to speak. He didn't know what to say, but he felt that the atmosphere at the moment was a little subtle.

Xue Yao didn't seem to notice Murong Chen's abnormality. She continued to speak to herself, "Sixth Prince, please organize this evidence as soon as possible and let me know when you are done."

Seeing Murong Chen looking at her in surprise, she told him roughly what had happened in the capital recently.

Murong Chen is the Emperor's sixth son, born to the Empress. The Empress has two sons, and the eldest prince had fallen seriously ill a few years ago, causing his mental abilities to plummet.

Thus, Murong Chen became the Empress' only hope and one of the Emperor's most cherished princes. Humble and unassuming, he enjoyed poetry and song, but never considered becoming embroiled in the political drama of the court. However, fate forced him to face it all.

Murong Chen took a deep breath and put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. He nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Miss Xueyao, I will do it as soon as possible."

He had seen Xue Yao destroy a den of thieves, take down those evil thieves, rescue thousands of innocent people, and even save him. She even brought them back to the capital without anyone noticing. So, he believed her.

Xue Yao smiled slightly, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes. Although Murong Chen appeared gentle and refined, he was actually a man of unyielding spirit, with his own principles and bottom line. Such a man was a true gentleman.

The next day, Xueyao and Murong Chen went to see the emperor. The emperor lived in the main courtyard of the Li residence. Xueyao arranged various matters while taking care of his health.

At this time, his body had mostly recovered and his spirits were much better.

"Your Majesty, you look in good spirits today!" Xue Yao didn't understand the rules of the palace, and she was too lazy to go through all that trouble.

However, the emperor was very optimistic about her free and unrestrained character.

Furthermore, she had saved Princess Wan'er and had even helped her recognize him, so he naturally looked at her with a different eye. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Miss Xueyao, I do feel refreshed today, all thanks to your careful care."

Xue Yao smiled slightly. She didn't take this matter to heart. She was more concerned about what would happen next.

Changing the subject, she said, "Your Majesty, I have a surprise for you. Do you want to know?"

The emperor smiled, "Miss Xueyao, please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me the truth."

Xueyao just smiled without saying anything, raised her hand and clapped three times. Then she turned her body to the side, revealing the person behind her.

"Father, I pay my respects to you!" Murong Chen was a little excited. Xue Yao had said she would arrange a meeting with the Emperor, but she hadn't mentioned that it would be him. He hadn't expected that the Emperor also lived in the Li Residence. He walked up to the Emperor and bowed down.

At this moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions. Although he already knew the current situation in the capital from Xueyao's narration, he had never imagined it to be so bad.

At this moment, he made up his mind to do his best for his father and the future of Daheng Kingdom.

The emperor looked at Murong Chen kneeling before him, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he said excitedly: "Chen'er, you are back, I am very happy."

He stood up and tried to help Murong Chen up, but Murong Chen didn't get up immediately. Instead, he raised a thick stack of files above his head and said resolutely, "I have found some things these days. Please take a look, Father."

The emperor took the file and said to Murong Chen in a comforting tone, "Get up!"

Murong Chen stood up, stepped aside, and glanced at Xue Yao secretly. Xue Yao gave him a reassuring look.

The emperor carefully read the files. The evidence was so detailed that it could reveal all of Prince Jing's crimes. His brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed, as if he was thinking about something.

Xueyao and Murong Chen waited quietly and watched silently.

"Bang!" When the emperor had read almost half of the file, he suddenly slammed his palm on the table. The teacup trembled a few times on the spot, and then lost its balance and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

"Bastard! How dare Prince Jing be so bold and presumptuous, colluding with foreign enemies and intending to rebel!" The emperor's voice was full of anger and disbelief. His face was ashen and his hands were clenched into fists. He was obviously shocked to the extreme by Prince Jing's crimes.

Upon seeing this, Murong Chen immediately knelt on the ground and said with his head bowed, "Father, please calm down. I am willing to do my best to relieve your worries."

Xue Yao also quickly agreed, "Your Majesty, don't worry too much about this matter. There will be a way."

The emperor took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, then looked at Murong Chen and said slowly: "Chen'er, you have done very well. This evidence is enough to bring Prince Jing to justice. However, this matter cannot be rushed."

Looking at his son, who usually kept a low profile, he felt like he was looking at a sword that had finally revealed its edge.

Murong Chen nodded. "Your Majesty, your father is absolutely right. Prince Jing has considerable influence in the court. We need a thorough plan to take him down in one fell swoop."

The emperor pondered for a moment, then looked at Xueyao again, "Miss Xueyao, what is the solution you proposed?"

"Your Majesty, please finish reading the file first. I will talk to you later." Xue Yao bowed and said.

"Okay!" The emperor hesitated for a moment, nodded, and continued to flip through the heart-wrenching files in his hand.

After a long while, the emperor finally finished reading the file in his hand, his face livid. He took a sip of tea, as if to calm his mind.

Then, he looked up at Xueyao, his eyes filled with anticipation. Over the past two days, he had witnessed Xueyao's wisdom and courage.

She was able to rescue herself, Wan'er and Chen'er to this point, but she couldn't have done it without some skills.

Even if he only held on to a glimmer of hope, he wanted to hear Xueyao's solution.

Xue Yao didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, Prince Jing has been captured."

"Oh? Did you really get him?" The emperor was a little excited and couldn't wait to interrupt Xue Yao.

Xue Yao nodded. "Yes, when I rescued you, I not only arranged for people to rescue Princess Wan'er and find the Sixth Prince, but also arranged for people to arrest Prince Jing, rescue Princess Wan'er's adoptive father, Mr. Qin Ming, and rescue Commander Li's family."

"That's great! Miss Xueyao, thank you for your hard work." I didn't even realize you had such an arrangement. This girl is really a hidden talent. The emperor sighed, and was once again impressed by Xueyao's wisdom and courage.

Xue Yao smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind! It's just an urgent matter, and I happen to be able to help. Your Majesty will decide how to deal with Prince Jing."

She then told the emperor and the sixth prince some things about Prince Jing and his men, then bowed and left.

Three days later, news came from the capital that Prince Jing died of suffocation due to drunkenness.
