Xie Tingyu was stunned. Could it be that this eunuch took the wrong medicine and actually spoke for him?

But at this moment, he could not care less and agreed repeatedly: "Yes, Father, I am indeed busy with official business, which delayed the morning court!"

"Oh?" The Emperor of Beiyue raised his eyebrows and became interested.

Fu Jiuli's expression remained unchanged. "Prince Jing has been busy raising silver to alleviate the flood crisis in Liangzhou. I heard that he has already raised 50,000 taels of silver."

"This is a blessing for the people of Liangzhou!"

As he spoke, he turned slightly and looked at Prince Jing, whose expression suddenly changed. "Your Highness, after the morning court session is over, I will arrange for someone to go to Prince Jing's mansion to get the silver."

"I would like to thank His Royal Highness Prince Jing on behalf of the people of Liangzhou."

Xie Tingyu opened his mouth, wanting to say that he did not raise money for the flood relief in Liangzhou.

But the officials reacted faster than him.

"Your Majesty, it is a blessing for North Vietnam that Prince Jing has such a heart!"

"Prince Jing cares deeply about the country and its people. He would rather sell off the assets of Prince Jing's Mansion to raise money for the victims of the Liangzhou disaster. This is a great virtue!"

"Prince Jing has the world in his heart at such a young age. He is indeed a descendant of the Xie royal family!"

"..."

Even Censor Liu, who had previously impeached him, spoke out: "Prince Jing's move is indeed a blessing for the people of Liangzhou and Beiyue!"

Jiuqian Sui also rarely echoed: "Your Highness Prince Jing is so righteous!"

When the Emperor of Beiyue heard his ministers say this, his previous depression dissipated a little, and he nodded with relief: "Prince Jing, please stand up! You have done a great job on this matter."

Xie Tingyu is now in a difficult situation. In this situation, the words of denial are on the tip of his tongue, but he can't say them anymore and can only put on a smile.

But that smile was uglier than crying: "Thank you, father, for the compliment!"

In my heart, I was praying madly, hoping that the steward had not spent the 50,000 taels of silver...

As for Shen Nanxing's dowry, he had already fallen out with her yesterday. Judging from her expression, she would definitely not give him any money.

Thinking of the red marks on her body, he suddenly felt depressed.

I wanted to sue her, saying she had an affair with that eunuch, but...

Firstly, Shen Nanxing still had her uterine blood, which could prove her innocence. Secondly, the eunuch would definitely not admit it, and he had no evidence...

Moreover, if this matter were to become known to the world, Shen Nanxing would be guilty of a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of his entire clan.

Ke Yi'er is also among her nine clans...

How could he tolerate Yi'er being hurt?

But how could he be willing to let the adulterous couple go?

His thoughts turned over and over, but he didn't say anything in the end, just kept the matter in his heart.

At this time, the young eunuch came back with a bronze mirror and handed it directly to Xie Tingyu who had just stood up.

Xie Tingyu took it casually, raised the small bronze mirror to his eyes, and saw at a glance——

His neck was covered with ambiguous red marks.

His eyes widened, and he immediately realized the reason for the court officials' reaction. He felt dizzy and almost fainted.

What a shame!

Xie Tingyu quickly lowered his head to hide the red marks on his neck. "Father, I remember I have important matters to attend to in the palace. I will take my leave now!"

The Emperor of Beiyue waved his hand and wanted him to leave.

But Censor Liu spoke again: "Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness Prince Jing did a good job in raising money to relieve the flood in Liangzhou, it is also true that he broke into a private house and killed a decent woman."

"Your Majesty, I implore you to be fair in rewarding and punishing!"

The Emperor of Beiyue frowned, obviously remembering this incident. "Prince Jing, tell me, is what Censor Liu said true?"

Xie Tingyu's face turned pale again.

That woman... is dead?

He hurriedly opened the memorial that he was still holding in his hand, and read the next two lines of words. The more he read, the paler his face became.

That woman actually committed suicide just because he looked at her while she was bathing?

No matter how many women came to him and begged him to take them, he didn't care.

The woman in the Tianzhai area actually committed suicide just because he accidentally glanced at her? Was she crazy? She was in the water, and he didn't really see anything!!!
