There was silence in the private room for a while, and Yu Yuan glared at Jiang Shu and said, "He has become so crazy, don't you try to persuade him?"
Hearing this, Jiang Shu's apricot eyes flashed, and he turned to look at Yu Zheng and advised: "Think of other ways, it's not so urgent."
A good person like Yu Zheng should not destroy his reputation no matter where his heart is.
"But I want to marry you back to my hometown as soon as possible so that others won't worry about it." Yu Zheng was a little annoyed.
"Reputation is a fictitious thing, I don't care."
Finally, Yu Zheng looked at Yu Yuan and said, "His reputation is not good, and it does not affect his happiness."
Yu Yuan: "..." What did he do to him?
Jiang Shu shook his head: "He is an idle prince, but you are different. People like you should not be notorious."
Yu Yuan couldn't bear it anymore: "What do you two mean? Are you ganging up to attack me?"
Who did he provoke?
"Actually, I have an idea." Jiang Ning, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
The three of them looked at him and asked with their eyes.
Jiang Ning coughed and said, "If the prince is compassionate and kind and devoted to Buddhism, and shows signs of converting to Buddhism, what will happen to the Holy Emperor and the noble concubine?"
"I'll be so anxious that I can't eat and sleep at night." Yu Yuan said.
Jiang Ning added: "Then the only one who can get close to the prince is my sister. What will happen to the emperor and the noble concubine?"
"I will regard your sister as a life-saving straw and sincerely accept her as my wife!"
Yu Yuan looked at Jiang Ning with dazzling eyes, and clicked his tongue: "Wonderful, this idea is much better than asking Qing Guan to spread rumors."
In this way, Yu Zheng's reputation will not be damaged, but will be more respected for his kindness and compassion.
As the savior who saved Yu Zheng, Jiang Shu would only be appreciated by the Holy Concubine and even hundreds of officials and people, and how could he be embarrassed and criticized.
"You're a bit smart, kid." Yu Yuan patted Jiang Ning's shoulder and praised with a smile, letting out a sigh of relief.
It's great that his leg was saved.
Yu Zheng looked at Jiang Ning with eyes full of approval: "I didn't know you were so smart and wise. I owe you this."
Jiang Ning's ears turned slightly red after being praised, and she pretended to be calm and said, "I'm doing it for my sister. Just treat her well."
Besides, Yu Zheng had done so much for the Jiang family before, so he treated it as repayment this time.
The business was settled and the food was served. The four of them filled their glasses with wine and celebrated in advance.
After dinner, Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu's siblings left Cuiyun Tower and went to the government office to inquire about Jiang Shu's distress.
Before leaving, Yu Zheng reminded Yu Yuan: "Be strict with your mouth, otherwise I will break your legs."
It took a lot of effort to come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties. If it was ruined by Yu Yuan's words, then Yu Zheng would really not be able to spare him.
Yu Yuan, who waved goodbye to them, suddenly felt a pain in his legs after hearing this, and he held on to the door frame to stand firm.
"Brother Zheng, don't worry, I've already rotted it in my stomach, and I won't let any of it out." Yu Yuan assured, touching his leg.
Yu Zheng glanced at his legs, turned around, got into the carriage, and headed to the government office.
The sun was scorching, and Mr. He had just finished lunch and was lying comfortably in the shade of the corridor to take a rest.
"Sir, King Jing is here." The official came to report in a hurry.
"Who...who is here?" Mr. He opened his eyes suddenly and almost fell off the recliner.
"His Royal Highness King Jing is in the front hall at the moment." The official repeated.
Mother, you are such a good girl, His Highness King Jing must have come to ask for help. It's over.
Master He stood up in a cold sweat, picked up the official hats on several stools, and put them on his head as he walked.
Yu Zheng sat at the top of the front hall, and Jiang Shu and Jiang Ning sat aside.
"I have seen the prince." As soon as Mr. He entered the room, he saw the battle and knew where they were coming from.
Yu Zheng didn't mince words and asked directly: "Have you found out?"
Mr. He said in a trembling voice: "Go back... to the prince, the clue is broken."
"When the clues are gone, we'll look for another one. But it's a small case, can't you handle it?" Yu Zheng's voice deepened.
"The lower official is incompetent, Your Majesty, please calm down." Mr. He knelt down in fear.
Looking at Mr. He kneeling in the hall with dark eyes, Yu Zheng asked coldly: "What is the situation? Tell the truth."
Mr. He said hurriedly: "I went to investigate based on the clues provided by Miss Jiang and found Jiang Yun's maid. I was about to capture the maid back for interrogation, but the maid slipped and fell into the river and drowned."
"Jiang Yun did not personally handle this matter. No physical evidence can prove her, and the only witness is uncorroborated. The official is really helpless."
"When did that maid die? Was she buried?" Yu Zheng asked.
Mr. He said: "On May 28th, because there were no clues and the weather was too hot and it couldn't be kept for a long time, his family took him away for burial."
The weather in June was already very hot, and the body really couldn't be placed there.
Yu Zheng frowned and asked, "Where did she die?"
"Jiyu River in the north of the city." Lord He replied.
Yu Zheng thought for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "Find her family, and I will come back later."
Today happens to be the first seven days, which is a good time.
"Yes." Master He did not dare to disobey.
After coming out of the government office, Jiang Shu asked Yu Zheng: "Do you want to investigate this case personally?"
Yu Zheng nodded: "If she dares to harm you, I will never let her go."
Jiang Shu asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"
Yu Zheng glanced at the scorching sun above his head and said slowly, "The heat is scorching right now. You go back and rest first. I'll pick you up at Jiang's house in the evening."
Since people want to know that Jiang Shu is the only person who can get close to him, there is no need to deliberately avoid suspicion and they can communicate directly.
"I want to go too." Jiang Ning came over. He hadn't seen the case yet.
Yu Zheng glanced at him and agreed.
After they separated, Jiang Shu and Jiang Ning returned to Jiang's house, and Yu Zheng returned to the palace to start preparations.
In the evening, Jiang Yun was playing with the dog in the courtyard. Lin Rui came over holding a letter: "Someone sent a letter, saying it was for you."
"Who gave it to me?" Jiang Yun took it and opened it suspiciously.
Do you think that if Chunyue dies, no one will know about the evil things you have done? See you at the Jiyu River Arch Bridge tonight at 3:00 pm.
After reading what was written in the letter, Jiang Yun's expression suddenly changed. She grabbed Lin Rui and asked in a panic, "Who sent this letter? Where is he?"
Lin Rui didn't know why: "I don't know him, he has already left."
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Rui said, curiously looking at the letter in Jiang Yun's hand.
Jiang Yun quickly crumpled the letter into a ball and said with a dodgey expression, "It's nothing."
After saying this, Jiang Yun quickly walked into the house, found a fire stick and burned the letter.
Lin Rui looked out the window, feeling that Jiang Yun must be hiding something from him.
At night, Lin Rui took a shower and went to bed. He wanted to be intimate with Jiang Yun, but Jiang Yun pushed him away in disgust.
"It's hot and you're sweating all over. Can't you think of anything else? You're useless."
After Jiang Yun finished speaking, she turned over and faced Lin Rui.
Lin Rui was rejected and humiliated. His face was burned and he was very humiliated and embarrassed.
Jiang Yun closed her eyes, but did not dare to sleep. She kept listening to Lin Rui's movements.
When the sound of steady and even breathing came to her ears, Jiang Yun turned over and called softly twice.
Lin Rui didn't respond and was fast asleep.
Jiang Yun stood up, put on her coat and shoes, and quietly went out.
As soon as the door closed, Lin Rui, who should have been sleeping soundly, immediately opened his eyes, quickly got out of bed, put on his coat and shoes, and secretly followed Jiang Yun.
Secret messages that cannot be seen in person, sneaking out in the middle of the night, he wants to see what kind of wild man she is going to meet!
