st last night, saying they would come to Mr. Tang's place today to admire the flowers.""Mr. Tang has sent someone to inquire about our master again. Our master is unavailable, so he instructed me to c...Jingbei Hou refused to accept it, his face flushed with anger.

By calculation, he is still the prince's father-in-law.

The Crown Prince actually, in front of so many people, favored Suijintang and mocked him for exaggerating the truth!

He was about to speak, but the Crown Prince said to the Emperor instead, “Father, Your son thinks that the method of Suijin Beach is quite good, and sets a fine example.”

"As more and more refugees gather, it would be better to have them unified under one administration and settled in a centralized location. Then we can call upon all households within the city to donate food and supplies. Even if it's just one meal a day, it will help the refugees get through this difficult time."

In addition, order the Southwest Army to annihilate the Mi Le sect. If successful, we should receive good news in half a month.

"At that time, send out orders to open granaries throughout the land to provide food for refugees, and distribute good seeds. This way, we can still catch up with the second planting…"

The crown prince spoke eloquently and convincingly, with sound reasoning. It has to be said, this is the best solution available at present.

The emperor nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with admiration and pride.

But the high officials were miserable on the inside, for they not only lost their lands but also had to donate grain and goods. It was truly like having their flesh cut with a knife, pain upon pain!

Of course they didn't dare resent the prince, so they could only secretly glare daggers at Dingbei Hou, the culprit.

Just say how many refugees there are and that your own farm was damaged, why bring up the Li family

The eye drops didn't work, and they dragged them down with me!

Ding Bei Hou felt a chill run down his spine as if needles were pricking him. He was utterly humiliated by the stares of the crowd.

He had every intention of things going well, but how did they turn out so differently from what he had planned...

Yes, it's all the Li family's fault!

The Lee family is his nemesis. Whenever he encounters the Lee family, things will inevitably go awry!

Let alone Kyoto, how are they struggling to house the refugees and hoping for the Empress's funeral to end soon.

Only southwest border defenses need urgent adjustments to patrol, preventing the enemy from disrupting things. We also need to intensify our investigations into the roots of the Mila teachings. It's quite hectic.

Fortunately, General Lu was brave and respected, his military advisors were brilliant, and the other generals also did their best. For a time, there wasn't much chaos.

But that night, General Lu and his military advisor had just returned to the General's Mansion after patrolling the camp. Before they could even dismount, someone rushed forward, shouting at the top of their lungs, "Your Highness, help!"

General Lu and the others were startled, their personal guards also alertly raised their swords in hand, signaling the approaching person not to get too close.

The newcomer was in a terrible hurry, and seeing this, he also pulled down his straw hat, trying to suppress his voice and shouted, "Your Highness, I'm Lu Feng!"

Lu Feng

General Lu didn't react at first, but the military advisor recognized him and whispered, "General, it's Lu Feng, the steward who followed the young master to Xin Du!"

General Lu's face immediately changed. This was someone who served his son, suddenly leaving his side and running back, there must be something major happening!

"Come in and talk right away!"

Several people swiftly entered the mansion and went straight to the study.

Lu Feng was covered in dust and grime, his clothes tattered, his lips chapped. It was evident that he had rushed back at full speed, without stopping to eat or rest.

The military advisor raised his hand to pour tea, and General Lu couldn't help but follow up, "Lu Feng, why did you suddenly come back Is there something wrong with the young master How is he in Xindu"

Lu Feng's lips moved, but then his knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground, "Your Highness, it's all my fault. I failed to take good care of the Young Master. The Young Master...was imprisoned. Please, Your Highness, save the Young Master!"

House arrest!

General Lu's face darkened, but he still helped Lu Feng up. "Tell me slowly."

The military advisor also advised, “Indeed, we've reached home now. We can discuss anything calmly. There's no need to rush.”

As he spoke, he handed over the tea.

Lu Feng gulped down a few mouthfuls and said, “General, military advisor, since the prince married the princess and moved into the princess’ mansion, he has never come out.”

The servant asked every time, wanting to see the young master, but the princess always said that the young master was unwell and needed to recuperate.

"There were two times I wanted to rush in, but the princess had the guards forcibly throw me out."

“I’m truly worried about Young Master. I spent a lot of money bribing the maids in the Princess's mansion, and they said Young Master is under house arrest in his bedroom. The princess won’t let him go outside, day after day… that day after day together!”

It's really hard to say this, but Lu Feng only dared to speak up because he saw that there was no one in the room.

General Lu and the military advisor both thought they had misheard. The military advisor couldn't help but follow up, "That's not right! Even though the Empress kept it a secret before her death, she actually passed away when the princess got married. How could the princess still... be so disrespectful!"

>

The strategist thought of a possibility and looked up at General Lu.

General Lu's face was ashen. He nodded and replied, "We were right all along."

The military advisor, annoyed, blurted out subconsciously, "Your Highness, what's gotten into you!"

But after he finished speaking, he sighed. The reason was obvious: the lice on his bald head!

Lu Feng was a little surprised and secretly looked at General Lu.

General Lu let out a cold snort and rebuked him, "You don't have to cover for the Crown Prince! We already know of the grave mistake he has committed from Li Jia, the top scholar, who visited a few days ago!"

Lu Feng let out a sigh of disappointment, slumping onto the ground with dejection.

"The servant doesn't know what's wrong with Young Master, he's acting as if possessed! The servant has tried to reason with him but he won't listen!"

"Originally, the young master had passed the imperial examination and been awarded the title of探花郎. Everyone was overjoyed, except for the young master himself. Shortly after, the Emperor decreed a marriage, and the young master agreed, instructing his servants to prepare for the wedding."

But turning his head, the young master no longer wanted to marry the princess. He even pretended to be sick to deceive the emperor. Fortunately, he wasn't found out...

Even in the study of his own mansion, Lu Feng still cautiously lowered his voice.

"Later, the Emperor pressed hard, and the Crown Prince couldn't disobey. He finally went through with the marriage. But after the wedding, he never left the Princess's mansion again. The servant was truly worried and rushed back!

"

"My Lord, you must find a way! The young master is under house arrest, and I'm sure he is very upset! What if he falls ill How can we handle that"

In his mind, after saying all this, the prince would certainly send someone to Xindu.

But after a long while, he heard nothing. He looked up and saw the King staring at him coldly.

"Lu Feng, you only said that the crown prince was under house arrest, but you didn't say why he was so disliked by the princess. You also didn't say what big trouble he caused by using his family's manpower!"

Lu Feng was so startled that he shivered and fell to the ground, unable to hide anymore.

"My Lord, I am afraid that if you become angry, it will harm your health. I... no, Young Master doesn't want to disobey the imperial decree and bring trouble to the family. Besides, I truly like the County Princess, so..."

“So,” General Lu took over the conversation, “he wants to marry the princess first, and then take the county magistrate as a concubine. The Li family and the Marquis treat the county magistrate as their jewel in the crown, they definitely won’t agree to her being a concubine. So he sent people secretly to cause trouble for the Northern Expeditionary Army, wanting to force the Marquis and the Li family to agree, isn’t that right”

As a result, the Northern Expeditionary Army was unaffected. Instead, the Li family and the Duke noticed his meddling. Even the princess saw through him in the end, and he became a prisoner!

Today's update is here~~eady made arrangements with Liu's wife. Since Jia Yi and Liu Yang were getting married together, both brides would be brought into the courtyard of Li's house.After that, the two young couples wanted...
