Prince Luyang glanced at him and asked, "Do I need you to tell me?"

Before Prince Jing could open his mouth, hurried footsteps were heard outside. The palace steward hurried in and said, "Your Highness, please go and take a look! The young lady is about to jump into the well!"

Prince Luyang's expression suddenly changed: "Shu'er?"

He ran out quickly, even faster than Prince Jing.

Prince Jing was very confused. His father really cared about Shu'er.

When the father and son arrived at the backyard, they saw Jing Shu'er, who was in a state of disgrace, crying and shouting, "Get out of here, let me die! I've returned from the capital in disgrace. How can I still have the dignity to live in this world?"

Prince Luyang strode over and hugged her in his arms: "Shu'er, don't do anything stupid. Grandfather is here and will never let you suffer this injustice for nothing!"

Jing Shu'er looked at him tearfully, "Grandfather, what else can I do? I can't even leave the palace gate now. Those people laugh at me and curse me with awful words, saying I'm a wicked woman who is despised by others!"

Prince Luyang's eyes widened in anger: "Whoever dares to say that, Grandfather will kill her!"

Jing Shuer choked up:

"Grandfather, you can kill one, but you can't kill seven or eight. It's useless. It won't stop the gossips!"

Prince Luyang advised, "It's better to open it up than to block it. Trust your grandfather. He will definitely have Zhan Mu from the Zhan Yi Marquis's mansion come and ask for your hand in marriage. He will be here soon. Then, won't you be able to hold your head high and claim your position of power?"

"Really? Grandfather?" Jing Shu'er's eyes were filled with tears.

Prince Luyang reached out and touched her head. "It's true. Think about it carefully. From childhood to adulthood, has your grandfather ever lied to you once?"

Jing Shuer thought about it carefully and realized that there really wasn't one.

Her grandfather doted on her to the point of being crazy. No matter what request she made, he would fulfill it without hesitation.

Even if it takes a lot of effort, he will do it.

Once upon a time during the Chinese New Year, she fell in love with a rotating lantern.

It was a pity that she was a step too late, and the lantern was bought by a customer from the capital.

She was very sad at the time and cried almost all night.

However, in the early morning, she saw an even more dazzling rotating lantern.

Even her portrait was used in it, which is absolutely beautiful.

It was not until that moment that she realized that it was actually made by her grandfather, who had been working on it for almost the entire night.

Just to make her happy!

Jing Shuer threw herself into his arms: "Grandfather, thank you!"

Prince Luyang reached out and patted her shoulder: "Go wash your face, look at your eyes, they are all swollen from crying. Grandfather will be distressed!"

Jing Shu'er rubbed her eyes embarrassedly, stood up and followed the nanny back to her own yard.

When her figure disappeared, the kind smile on King Luyang's face disappeared completely in an instant.

He hurried back to his study, frowned, and called his staff in, asking, "Has there been any news from the capital?"

The staff member nodded hurriedly: "I just received a letter from the owner of the porcelain shop, and I haven't had time to open it yet!"

Prince Luyang held out his hand: "Give it to me!"

He unfolded the secret letter and saw a line of words written on it: "All porcelain workshops in the capital have changed their supply channels and are using the new fish and algae pattern porcelain produced in Suzhou City!"

Prince Luyang was furious: "How dare they!"

The staff member said solemnly, "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance. Our Luyang City relies on orders from the capital for money. If this route is blocked, will the people of the official kiln be left with nothing?"

There was a flash of intense struggle in Prince Luyang's eyes. He didn't expect things to become so serious. He originally wanted to force Marquis Zhan Yi to come to Prince Luyang's Mansion to apologize.

However, they simply changed the supply channels.

It's really cruel!

After a moment's silence, he finally spoke: "Luyang City is the official kiln. This is a favor bestowed upon me by the late emperor. Even the emperor has no right to change it. Why did the Zhan Yihou Mansion choose Suzhou City?"

The staff asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, are you going to the capital?"

A fierce look flashed in the eyes of Prince Luyang: "No need to go to the capital. Send people to block the pipeline in Suzhou City and make sure to destroy all the porcelain entering the capital. They will never get past me!"

The staff quickly advised: "Your Highness, this is absolutely impossible. The commander of Suzhou City is Fang Qingshan, a renowned general of our Sheng Dynasty. If we try to intercept his caravan, we'll probably suffer casualties!"

Prince Luyang's eyes immediately turned red with anger. He angrily demanded, "What's the matter? Are you going to let me suffer this loss?"

The staff member lowered his voice and said, "There is a way to do it without bloodshed. I will immediately send someone to Suzhou City to bribe Fang Qingshan's manager. That way, the porcelain with fish and algae patterns can be delivered to our Luyang City. Then, won't the Zhan Yi Marquis' Mansion have to ask the prince for help?"

Prince Luyang immediately calmed down his anger, as he thought this was a good idea.

He urged his staff: "Go quickly. No matter what means you use, you must capture Fang Qingshan's men. Only success is allowed, failure is not allowed!"

"Yes!" The staff responded and left in a hurry.

Prince Luyang sneered, "Zhan Yan, you're trying to be clever and bypass the Prince Luyang's Palace, but I won't let you succeed!"

His staff are smart and capable and will definitely get this done.

He just had to wait for Zhan Yan and his wife to come with their son to apologize!

After waiting for three consecutive days, King Luyang still did not see his staff return.

Until the next night, he received a black box.

He opened it with his own hands, and the head of his staff rolled out.

He was so frightened that he shuddered all over and quickly took several steps back.

He screamed, "Quick, go and catch the person who delivered the box!"

The guard replied, "Your Highness, we didn't find anyone who delivered the box. It was already on the doorstep when we opened the gate this morning!"

King Luyang was so angry that his teeth were bared and his eyes were glaring. He clenched his fists and roared, "Zhan Yan, Fang Qingshan, you are going too far!"

Prince Jing had also heard the news that the heads of his staff had been sent back. He hurried over and said, "Father, will our porcelain from Luyang City no longer be able to be sent to the capital?"

Prince Luyang glared at him angrily: "Nonsense, who told you that?"

Prince Jing muttered in fear, "This is spreading everywhere, causing panic among the people. My son is afraid something might happen!"

King Luyang scolded him, "Coward! With me here, nothing can happen. Go back and take care of Awen. Don't worry about the rest!"

Prince Jing did not dare to refute and left with a dejected look on his face.

Prince Luyang's face turned pale as he cursed, "What a waste!"

He reached out and took a cup of cold tea and poured it down his throat, forcing himself to calm down.

He made a quick decision that the porcelain from Suzhou City must not be sent to the capital, otherwise there would be great unrest in Luyang City.

The people are used to a good life and cannot bear any hardship!

He called his confidant and urged him to quickly gather the Luyang City defense troops.

He personally led the troops and rushed to the official road of Suzhou City to block it.
