Prince Needs to be Tamed

Shen Xiangtai immediately knelt down, "My son would never lie!"

"I know, and I've heard Cui Li's speech. That kid, Shen Yin, took all the responsibility upon himself when he brought the case up for questioning. He sure is brave enough to take responsibility for his actions, and he even admitted to killing people. There's no need to lie at the scene of the crime."

"But it's not that I said, the entire Liang Jing City knows what kind of person Shen Yin is, so it's true that he found the Huns, slashed a few times with them, entered the imperial harem, but the one who gave the Huns a fatal blow is not him, and the one who shifted the scene to the Hall of Longyue is not him either."

"Moreover, since the Huns have died, it is simply a dream to make my people pay with their lives without knowing the truth. That's why I have to protect Shen Yin to drink."

Shen Xiangtai kowtowed repeatedly, "This subject thanks the Lord for his grace. In this life, I shall bow my head and serve him with all my might, even in death."

Since the Huns had angered Xiao Wen Feng, he didn't want to give them a proper explanation. Protecting Shen Yin was just a convenience, but it made Shen Xiangtai even more loyal, and allowed the other subjects to see that as long as they were loyal to him, he would be able to protect them.

It was called trust, but it didn't have the trust one imagined. One had to constantly test and maintain trust through all sorts of methods.

"Your Majesty, we have to be on guard against the Huns. The royal merchants have a lot of resources and connections in our country, if they are used by the Huns."

General Lu is overthinking things. The taboo of merchants is having people seizing resources. The trading company has been in operation for more than two years, and the caravans that entered early have already won over all the factions in the trading company. Even imperial merchants would be excluded if they were to suddenly step in.

Pei Zhihe spoke unhurriedly, "According to my knowledge, the earliest caravans established themselves in the western region of the prairie. They also took half a year. However, next year will be the time to re-elect their royal merchants."

Everyone understood and said that they wanted to get a caravan to support the Hunchback Khan, but when the Hunchback Khan was familiar with the people of the royal merchant group, they changed the royal caravan and didn't give them too much time to build up trust and understand each other.

Lu Mo Ting glared at him, "Old Pei, you understand?"

Pei Zhihe rolled his eyes at him. "I know better than you."

"Hmph, you're the only one who understands!"

"No, you don't understand."

Everyone, "..." What do you all know!

Xiao Wen Feng's mouth twitched. He then turned to Cui Fu, who was hesitating to speak, "Cui Qing, are you questioning whether I gave the lost things in the palace to Anubis?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. After all, what did that thing mean? Why did the Huns steal it? The purpose of it is still unclear, yet they gave it to the Huns just like that …"

"I'll give this to Imperial Concubine. She had been playing with it for a long time, but she still hadn't discovered anything special about it. Furthermore, if it was really that important, it wouldn't have been taken away by Mo Ting on the battlefield back then."

In short, the Huns have their eyes on this thing. If it is Anubis who has their eyes on it, it would be a kind of blow to him if he were to hand it over to Anubis. If it is any other force that is going to attack Anubis again, it would be better to investigate and analyze it from the perspective of the onlookers.

"Your Majesty is right. Your servant is overthinking it." Cui Fu puffed his chest out as he raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the two people from the Hong Dian Temple with furrowed eyebrows. This lord's case is over, you can't pressure him anymore.

Su Xing Yuan remained calm, not moving at all. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Huns are more or less done with this side. As for the Rui Xi country …"

Xiao Wen Feng frowned. "Did something go wrong with the agreement on Cheng Jia's marriage?"

Su Xing Yuan looked towards Lu Mo Sheng, gesturing for him to speak.

Lu Musheng, "..." His superior didn't want to touch His Majesty's thunder, so he had to do it.

"Your Majesty, this is the request to send the bride over to Rui Xi. Not only did you specify what the dowry Princess Chen Jia brought should be, you also requested that General Song Yi, who has been guarding the border with Rui Xi, lead a team to send the bride over."

Xiao Wen Feng took the paper and looked at it for a while. Then, he rubbed it and held it in his hand. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Rui Xi country, you've gone too far!"

"..."

Before Anubis could walk out of the palace, he met Lu JinNian on the way. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Miss Lu, what a coincidence."

"Unfortunately, I intentionally chose to stay here to wait for you."

Anubis looked around. This was the closest road to the palace gate, but it was not a main road. The branches, trees, trees were all hidden, and there was no one around to see it.

"Is Miss Lu sure that this prince will choose this path?"

Lu JinNian smiled, "I only feel that this place is quiet. Perhaps Prince Ji wants to be quiet after seeing the emperor?"

Of course it was impossible, she had only come running when she saw Anubis coming from afar.

"If that's the case, then Miss Lu and this prince have a mutual understanding. I wonder if this prince's suggestion will be the same as Miss Lu's decision?"

"I'm afraid we'll have to disappoint Prince Ji."

"I don't think so. If that's the case, then why did Miss Lu go and remind this prince in the middle of the night?" You must have heard something from General Lu. "

"Miss Lu need not give this prince an answer too soon. This prince will always stay here until Anubis officially marries the prince."

Lu JinNian looked at the honey faced Nubis' confidence and was speechless. He didn't even greet him and just left.

Initially, she was worried that Anubis would suspect her of coming here last night. She didn't expect that she would be treated as a show of goodwill. Even with her IQ, she felt foolish.

In other words, Shen Yin's matter had been resolved. As for which faction the unlucky Huns had been framed of, it was obvious. However, she was too lazy to care about it.

To the Central Plains, the more chaotic the Plains became, the more they would be unable to do anything about the Central Plains. It didn't matter whether the one to blame would be Yena Jia or Yena Ya, at least for now, it was fine to watch the show.

Lu JinNian quietly ran back to the ladies and Yi Nan.

Yi Nan Qi looked at her with a complicated expression and said, "Jin, no matter who it is, a lady from a noble family has a lively personality. You are the one who will lose sight of everyone once you get to the palace."

Lu Jinniang obediently lowered his head, "The palace isn't that big. We can't find the way back just by walking around. It took us a long time to get back."

Yi Nan Zhi, "..." You, who dare to run around in the palace, are already a brave warrior.

"Just now in the palace, I asked you if you want to watch the show. If you didn't go, I thought you had an honest personality, remember, if you want to go somewhere and call me, I've come to the palace more than you have, so I can't get lost."

Young lady, you should be glad that you didn't take me to see this. Otherwise, what would happen if Princess Rong Qing accidentally injured you with a dagger?
