The second prince Shen Yuanbai was still sitting in the teahouse yesterday waiting for news about Sheng Mingcheng.
At this time, Zhufeng ran in sweating profusely and looking panicked.
The second prince's face darkened when he saw this, and he said coldly:
"Zhufeng, I told you, never show your thoughts on your face at any time."
Zhufeng was anxious. He couldn't wait to calm down and said quickly: "Your Highness, it's bad, Sheng Mingcheng has been found!"
Shen Yuanbai frowned when he heard this, "What? He was caught by Jin Wuwei?"
Zhufeng shook his head and said with an ugly face: "He is crazy. He went to beat the Dengwen drum, and... he also said many unfavorable things to His Highness!"
Shen Yuanbai stood up slowly and said coldly: "Tell the truth about what he said!"
Zhufeng didn't dare to hide anything, so he hurriedly repeated Sheng Mingcheng's words and told all the boiling public opinion.
When Shen Yuanbai heard this, his eyebrows were instantly filled with frost.
"This idiot, he didn't know he was tricked, and he even dragged me into the trap!"
"No wonder the Jinwu Guards couldn't find him. Even the secret guards had no trace of him. It turned out that another group of people used a trick to save him, just to let him bite me back!"
The male protagonist is still the male protagonist after all, but after hearing a few words relayed by Zhufeng, he guessed the truth of the matter.
"The prince's methods are so meticulous. He usually acts like a brother and brother, but he is secretly planning to give me a fatal blow!"
"But how did he know about Sheng Qishan Chunwei's fraud, how did he know to rescue Tan Hanchi in advance, and how did he know that the list existed?"
Shen Yuanbai was puzzled and suddenly punched the table with his fist, knocking over the tea.
This information was obtained by relying on the manpower left behind by his mother, who had been stationed in every government and hospital for several years, before he managed to find some clues.
How on earth did the prince do it!
Zhufeng was terrified, and at this time he couldn't help but show fear on his face.
"Your Highness, the top priority now is to deal with Sheng Mingcheng. Three people become tigers, not to mention Sheng Mingcheng's words. Now in front of the Holy Lord...you...what will you do?"
Shen Yuanbai sneered, without much fear on his face.
"Sheng Mingcheng's words are empty. Based on this, the prince cannot defeat me! Go back to the palace!"

When Qiao Zhongguo arrived at Denwen Drum Courtyard, the place was already extremely noisy.
Eunuch Huang was waiting anxiously at the gate of the palace. The moment he saw Qiao Zhongguo, he seemed to have seen a savior.
"Hey, Mr. Qiao, you're here! Come to the rescue quickly, these people are going to destroy Dengwen Drum Courtyard!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is so angry that he lost his temper."
With these last words, Eunuch Huang quietly lowered his voice, intending to urge Qiao Zhongguo to make a quick decision.
Qiao Zhongguo's expression remained unchanged. He turned around and saw that the people in front of the Dengwen Drum Courtyard were filled with indignation. Listening to their words, it turned out to be related to the confrontation between the Yong Dynasty and the Northern Kingdom.
Qiao Zhongguo knew in his heart that his eldest son was involved in fanning the flames.
I don’t know where that brat came from, but compared to me, he, he is really better than me.
"Eunuch Huang, don't be anxious."
Qiao Zhongguo said lightly, and then walked towards Dengwen Drum Courtyard.
Eunuch Huang looked at Qiao Zhongguo's tall and straight back, and then he vaguely realized the words that the Holy Father often said:
"Then Qiao Zhongguo is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Yong Dynasty. Sometimes he stands in front of the people and is more majestic than me."
Eunuch Huang sometimes couldn't figure out whether the Holy Master was afraid or appreciative when he said such things, but when he saw it today, this "sea-fixing needle" really lived up to its reputation!
As soon as Qiao Zhongguo appeared, the people gathered around and shouted "General Qiao".
Qiao Zhongguo waved his hands to everyone, and only said a few words, "The Holy One will deal with it impartially and will not let the people of the world feel cold." Everyone consciously moved out of the way.
When Eunuch Huang saw Qiao Zhongguo waving to him, he was slightly startled, and hurriedly walked up with the eight imperial guards behind him, and actually brought out Sheng Mingcheng, who was already tied up.
"Let's all disperse! Haven't you done all the work for today? The wife and children at home are still waiting for a bite to eat!"
Qiao Zhongguo smiled and raised his voice, and his rough words carried an indescribable affinity, which made everyone burst into laughter. He actually resolved a public outrage so easily.
Eunuch Huang was secretly speechless when he saw this, and he truly admired Qiao Zhongguo from the bottom of his heart.
"Lord Qiao, let's go, Your Majesty is waiting."
Eunuch Huang urged politely.
Qiao Zhongguo waved his hands to the people, turned around and followed Eunuch Huang, all the way into the royal study.
In the royal study, the Holy Sage sat behind the case, and the Prince attended him.
Qiao Zhongguo bowed respectfully, and Sheng Mingcheng was already being held on the ground by the imperial guards.
The saint's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
"Is the second prince here?"
After hearing this, Eunuch Huang quickly went out to see the situation. As he walked out of the imperial study, he saw the second prince coming this way.
"My sons and ministers see my father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The second prince knelt in the palace, his back straight and his face calm.
The moment he saw the second prince, Sheng Mingcheng screamed excitedly, and the hatred in his blood-red eyes was shocking.
With a look from Emperor Yong, Eunuch Huang immediately stepped forward and took off the sweat towel from Sheng Mingcheng's mouth, and his voice of extreme resentment resounded throughout the imperial study.
"Shen Yuanbai, you have caused so much harm to our Duke of Qing! A thief like you actually wants to be the crown prince of my Great Yong Dynasty! Just dream!"
...
Seeing that Sheng Mingcheng had finished speaking, Eunuch Huang immediately stuffed the sweat towel into his mouth again.
At this time, Emperor Yong lowered his eyes and looked at the second prince in the palace, and asked in a deep voice: "Second prince, what do you have to say?"
After the second prince bowed, he said calmly: "Back to my father, Sheng Mingcheng is slandering my son."
Emperor Yong raised his eyebrows, "Which sentence?"
The second prince replied calmly: "Everything."
"Sheng Mingcheng said that my son knew about Chunwei's fraud and concealed it but refused to report it. How could he possibly know such a private matter? The reason why I showed goodwill to him was because of...Miss Sheng's family."
"Miss Shengjia?" Emperor Yong looked puzzled.
The second prince nodded magnanimously, "Miss Sheng's family was in danger half a year ago, and my son happened to save her once, so..."
The second prince suddenly lowered his head, exposing his reddish ears.
"Father, my son and I are visiting Sheng Mingcheng just to get to know Miss Sheng's current situation. We have no other purpose than that."
Qiao Zhongguo stood quietly aside. When he heard this, even he had to lament the second prince's palace and scheming.
Of all the accusations made by Sheng Mingcheng, only the second prince's meeting with him to show his goodwill had evidence, but the second prince came up with such an impeccable reason.
The young man Mu Ai was just inquiring about information and didn't do anything extraordinary, so why not?
The second prince continued: "As for Sheng Mingcheng's claim that I stole the list, I swear on my life that the list is definitely not in my hands."
"Also... those who seek to seize the heir apparent are even more heart-wrenching!"
