Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

When Chu Junze walked out of the mansion gate, his face had changed completely.

He showed no anger at the rioting crowd outside.

He said with a sanctimonious air, "I am aware of everyone's demands."

Although their crimes are unforgivable, we will spare them because so many of you have pleaded for them.

"I can spare their lives and let them continue their journey of exile."

The people outside the gate began to discuss the matter with suspicion after hearing Chu Junze's words.

"An unforgivable sin? What does that mean?"

"Could it be... Prince Duan?"

They seemed to have guessed something, but dared not say it aloud.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Chu Junze sighed and said with a disappointed look.

"Just as you all thought, Prince Duan's night raid on me last night failed."

That's why I detained him.

However, since so many people have pleaded for his life, I will spare his life and instead exile him!

Seeing that the prince had finished speaking, Jian Shu immediately shouted to the people outside, "Alright, you've all heard what our prince said."

Let's not block the road here anymore!

After saying that, he closed the gates of the mansion again.

Many people were left outside the gate, discussing the matter animatedly!

"What's going on? It's so easy."

"Since the Third Prince is so reasonable, let's not cause trouble here."

"But the Third Prince said that Prince Duan launched a night attack last night? I don't think that's something Prince Duan would do."

An old man sighed deeply: "Alas, the political situation is in turmoil now, and what remains is beyond the control of us ordinary people."

Even if there are doubts about Prince Duan's night raid, they are too embarrassed to continue causing trouble here.

Chu Junze has already stepped forward and readily agreed to their request.

They were also informed of the reason for detaining Prince Duan, and they had no reason to stay there any longer.

Shadow One and his group mingled in the crowd and did not continue to incite others.

They have completed the task assigned by their master.

If we act rashly, we might end up making things worse.

In the cell.

The men Chu Junze sent said that when they left...

Mu Shilan couldn't help but say excitedly, "I knew Brother Junze wouldn't abandon me!"

The constables said nothing in the face of her narcissism.

"We can finally get out of here. Does that mean we won't die?"

"Could it really be that little girl who played the role?"

Lin Xiaoxiao walked beside Song Wenjing and couldn't help but ask, "Tell me quickly, what method did you use to force Chu Junze to release us?"

"What he cares about most right now is the will of the people, so I've had Shadow One create momentum outside."

Chu Junze certainly wouldn't risk incurring public wrath for our sake at this time.

Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but observe Song Wenjing beside her.

The boy has shed his previous immaturity, and his facial features have become more defined.

In addition to his innate nobility, he now possessed a sinister charm, and his dark eyes gleamed with a cunning and triumphant light.

Perhaps Lin Xiaoxiao was looking too intently, because Song Wenjing noticed and suddenly moved closer to her.

"What, are you stunned by my scheme!"

Lin Xiaoxiao did not back down at all when he approached; instead, she reached out and pinched his earlobe.

"You simply know your opponent all too well."

After Lin Xiaoxiao left, Song Wenjing unconsciously swallowed.

He touched his earlobe, which Lin Xiaoxiao had touched, and his breathing became heavier.

After leaving the cell, everyone's eyes were stung by the long-absent sunlight, and they instinctively reached out to shield their eyes.

Mu Shilan saw Chu Junze not far away and couldn't help but want to walk over to him.

However, they were stopped by the yamen runners.

Mu Shilan frowned: "What are you doing? Get out of the way!"

Then she looked at Chu Junze and cried out anxiously, "Brother Junze, please make them move aside!"

Chu Junze didn't speak, but raised his hand to his nose, his eyes full of disdain.

Jian Shu immediately stood beside him and shouted loudly, "Prince Duan led his troops to break into Your Highness's residence at night with the intention of committing treason. He may be spared the death penalty, but he will not escape punishment."

Then he followed Lu Hu and the other exiles he was escorting to Yedu!

Mu Qiyang was not surprised by the result, and did not even look at Chu Junze again!

Mu Qingwan had long been used to it by following Lin Xiaoxiao and the others, so she didn't feel overwhelmed.

The others were relieved that their lives had been saved.

Only Mu Shilan stared blankly, looking up at Chu Junze not far away in disbelief.

Chu Junze stood there indifferently, as if he hadn't seen her at all.

Jian Shu looked at them impatiently: "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and thank the emperor!"

Even though he was unwilling, Mu Qiyang still knelt down on one knee and turned his head to express his gratitude when he thought of his family.

Chu Junze didn't argue with him, waved his hand, and prepared to leave!

He seized Yuheng City and exiled Prince Duan.

We must protect the treasures of Prince Duan's mansion this time.

Chu Junze took one last look at Lin Xiaoxiao and the others.

Wanwan, now is definitely not the best time to take action.

You'll understand me, won't you?

"No, you can't leave! You haven't kept your promise to me yet!"

Seeing that Chu Junze was about to leave, Mu Shilan could no longer hold back.

Brother Junze stopped calling out and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Chu Junze glanced at her briefly before leaving without looking back.

Mu Shilan completely broke down.

He promised to marry her, so how did things turn out like this?

Gu Xingzhi didn't understand why she had such a big reaction, and she also didn't know what Chu Junze had promised her.

But seeing Mu Shilan so devastated, he still knelt down and comforted her with heartache.

After howling for a while, Mu Shilan noticed her aunt beside her.

It seemed like she had remembered something?

She glanced at Mu Qiyang furtively, remembering how she had secretly handed the military tally to Chu Junze.

We absolutely must not let them know.

The situation is beyond repair now; the only thing to do is to keep it hidden.

Lu Hu never expected that he would almost be sentenced to death. Having survived the ordeal, all he wanted was to leave this place as soon as possible.

After retrieving his belongings, Lu Hu ordered his men to leave immediately.

Mu Qiyang stared at Lin Xiaoxiao and the others' carriage, momentarily stunned.

This is hardly exile!

Seeing that the constables leading the group seemed unfazed, Mu Qiyang looked at Song Huai'an with even greater respect.

To everyone's surprise, when they went to talk, Song Huai'an told him that all of this was arranged by Lin Xiaoxiao.

Mu Qiyang thought to himself that he had gained even more respect for Lin Xiaoxiao.

At this moment, Gu Xingzhi understood why the Song family was so protective of Lin Xiaoxiao.

However, what she saw was only one side of the story. What she didn't know was that the moment Lin Xiaoxiao entered the Song family's door...

It had already been accepted by the Song family.
