The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

Xiao Wanyue felt that this must be a big deal, but the situation should be manageable. She also thought that she was just a stranger and there were some things she couldn't tell him. What if it was a secret?

The first rule of survival in ancient times was that the more you knew, the faster you died.

She should not be so curious. According to the plot, the hero would have defeated the enemy at the border and eliminated the spies in the army. He could then fake his death and escape, returning to the court as the prince.

The former crown prince Zhao Chengyi was talented and was named crown prince at birth. Unfortunately, he was framed and ended up being abandoned after his death.

Most people in the court support him, and it can be said that he is deeply loved by the people. Moreover, the current emperor is levying heavy taxes and levying heavy fines, which has caused widespread complaints and public outrage. The border is also unstable and foreign enemies are invading. If the former prince were still alive, he would definitely have many people supporting him.

This is also an important plot in this book. The heroine left at this time, and the hero had no time to take care of his beloved woman. He could only let some secret guards find her and protect her well.

The heroine was also very smart. She went straight to the countryside, disguised herself as a man, and was accompanied by Chu Lingyun. The two of them lived a fairy-like life here.

When they were found by the secret guards, they were about to get married. Coincidentally, the hero had also returned to the capital. He was so furious that he forcibly took the heroine and made her his concubine. He was trapped in a deep mansion and imprisoned.

Xiao Wanyue: "I am sorry for being so presumptuous. You should take good care of your injuries."

Xie Yu: "No, it's like this. Prince Rong was about to raise an army. I overheard their conversation and was chased here."

Xiao Wanyue: Prince Rong has taken action?? The entire text never mentioned that the Rong Hui would raise an army. This book is really a mess. The hero doesn't look like a hero, the heroine doesn't look like a heroine, and the villain doesn't look like a villain.

"Prince Rong is rebelling, that's impossible, right?"

Xie Yu: "I heard this with my own ears."

Xiao Wanyue: "Prince Rong said he wanted to rebel?"

Xie Yu: "No, I only saw a few ministers and generals with Prince Rong, and their words expressed dissatisfaction with that person."

Xiao Wanyue: "Does He Jingming know?"

Xie Yu: "I have already written a letter to inform him."

At this time, it was in the study of Prince Rong’s Mansion.

Prince Rong stood with his hands behind his back in front of the desk, with his staff following him.

Prince Rong was dressed in black and looked at the counselor who was speaking with sharp eyes.

A man in student clothes said respectfully to Prince Rong: "Your Highness, this opportunity is fleeting. Once lost, it will never come back. There is a war at the border. Invade the imperial city and seize the throne."

This person is Zhang Yanyan's brother Zhang Cong. He is an excellent student at Lishan Academy, but he does not use his knowledge in the right way. He always wants to get rich overnight. He is also a fanatical fan of his sister. Zhang Yanyan likes Prince Rong, so he joins Prince Rong to help his sister. After the success, Zhang Yanyan becomes Prince Rong's queen.

Prince Rong has not yet married a princess. Prince Rong is very handsome and has a good reputation in the capital. However, Prince Rong's status is low. Although he has been crowned as a prince, his mother was a palace maid who died a few years after giving birth to him. His life in the palace was ordinary.

He was not favored since childhood, and no one paid attention to him. Only the late queen took good care of him, and the prince also took good care of him. However, these were unknown to the public, and even the current emperor Zhao Hong did not know.

Later, when that incident happened in the palace, he could only lie dormant in this suffocating imperial city like a wild beast, waiting for the opportunity.

When the current emperor ascended the throne, he named him Prince Rong, named him Zhao Yue, and gave him a mansion.

Zhao Yue has always been gentle and polite, but this is just his disguise. Only those close to him know what kind of person he is. Many people are deceived by his appearance.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent, so he couldn't be called a good person.

Other staff members also persuaded Prince Rong to launch a mutiny.

Prince Rong looked at the people below with dark eyes, as if he was looking at these people as if they were dead objects.

Everyone was still unaware of what was happening, thinking that their words had hit the mark of the prince's feelings, and they all vied to show off.

Prince Rong: "Enough, what do you mean? When did I ever say I wanted to seek a high position?" His tone was full of murderous intent.

Several adults were trembling with fear, not knowing what the prince meant. They didn't dare to speak for a moment, and the scene fell into silence.

Prince Rong: "There is no need to say more about this matter. I am just an idle prince. Stop thinking like this, otherwise get out."

"My lord, forgive me."

It seems that Prince Rong is unhappy and does not accept their opinions.

Seeing that some people were retreating, several ministers did not dare to step forward and make suggestions.

A few of the people in the middle were frightened and left.

Only Prince Rong and Zhang Cong were left in the room.

Zhang Cong watched the few people leave and didn't know what the prince meant. Weren't they discussing starting a rebellion? Why did they quit now? Was he still waiting to bring honor to his family?

And my sister also likes Prince Rong very much.

Zhang Cong: "Your Majesty, are we going to start a rebellion? Didn't you say you wanted that position?"

Prince Rong looked at Zhang Cong, who was like a jumping clown, with an expressionless face, and felt disgusted in his heart. He was just a child of a noble family, but he came to question him. He dared to act so presumptuously in front of him. If it were not for him, he would never tolerate this man with such an ugly face acting so presumptuously in front of him.

Brother, are you okay?

Prince Rong: "I have never said that I want to start a rebellion. But you are so concerned about this matter. Are you planning to rebel?" He looked at Zhang Cong with a half-smile.

Zhang Cong was frightened to the point of breaking out in cold sweats. He had always known that Prince Rong was an easy prince to manipulate, and he would never refute anything others said. But why did he feel a chill today, as if he were being entangled by a hungry wolf?

He swallowed and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I never had such an idea." Cold sweat was about to fall on his forehead.

Prince Rong: "Leave, I need to rest too."

Zhang Cong: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he quickly left the room. People who didn't know him would think there was a dog chasing him.

Prince Rong looked at the disappearing figure, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Thinking back to the news he received, his brother was still alive...

After everyone left, a man in black jumped down from the roof, knelt on the ground, and asked King Rong for his opinion.

Prince Rong: "How is Xie Yu?"

The man in black said, "Your Highness, Master Xie has been rescued and is now safe, but..."

Prince Rong: "But what?"

The man in black said: "He seems to have heard your conversation with the adults. It must be a misunderstanding."

Prince Rong: "Nothing, go down and proceed as planned."

The man in black: "Yes." Then he disappeared on the spot.

Prince Rong looked at the letter on the desk in silence.

The situation in the capital was becoming increasingly severe. People were in a panic and felt threatened, fearing that any disturbance would lead to the destruction of their families.

A few days ago, several important officials had their properties confiscated.

Xiao Wanyue also knew that news of He Jingming's death in battle would soon arrive at the border, and the country was in the midst of internal and external troubles.

At least that's the case on the surface. Then He Jingming returned as the crown prince. He had already made arrangements both at the border and in the court.

The chaos is superficial, and the consolidation of power is internal and external. There is no need to worry about the safety of the country. He Jingming will not ignore his country.
