After rebirth, the prince fell into the hands of the princess again

Ji Chu was just too concerned and confused. Tang Mumu could understand it clearly. Captain Song locked up the man because he was afraid that his grandson would run around and get into danger again. He really valued Song Jinyu's life more than anything else.

"She's right. The old commander won't be really angry. He's just worried that Jinyu will get into danger when he goes out."

Ji Chu felt relieved when he heard Rong Yan say this.

"There is one more thing. His Majesty knew about the blood letter, but he didn't seem to react. The night Song Jinyu and I entered the palace, Prince Shun was there too. But after reading the blood letter, His Majesty only asked Prince Shun to return home and be confined to his house. He didn't say how many days he would be confined, nor did he say how to punish Prince Shun. There has been no movement until today. I think His Majesty wants to wait for the prince to come back."

"No reaction?" Tang Mumu almost cursed. Prince Shun had done such a heartless thing and he still had no reaction? Could it be that the old emperor wanted to protect his son and didn't care about the lives of the people in Huai County?

And then there are the people of the Lin family, that's thirty-two lives in total, and there are also thirty-four yamen runners. Even if he is a noble, can he escape unscathed in the face of so many lives?

"I'll change my clothes and go into the palace. You guys wait for me in the mansion. Song Jinyu will definitely find a way to get out soon. You guys wait for him in the mansion. Remember, don't go anywhere."

Rong Yan was afraid that if he dragged on, Tang Mumu would really get angry, and he also wanted to know how his father would handle the matter.

Tang Mumu barely suppressed her anger and placed her hopes on Rong Yan.

"It's up to you, Your Highness. You must not betray Lord Lin's trust. The hardships we have endured along the way cannot be in vain. Your injuries are not fully healed yet. These are all evidence. If Prince Shun does not plead guilty, just throw the evidence in his face."

If he still dared not to plead guilty, she would drag him into the alley in a sack in the dark of night, beat him up, and then put a curse on him, forcing him to confess his guilt before her father.

If he dares not to plead guilty, I have plenty of ways to torture him.

Rong Yan nodded, stood up and went back to Zhujingxuan to take a shower and change clothes.

Tang Mumu accompanied Ji Chu to the Taiwei Mansion again. It was not known whether the Taiwei intended to let them leave. This time Song Jinyu's escape was very smooth. The three of them almost ran all the way to Prince Rong's Mansion.

It was almost midnight, and Rong Yan had not returned home yet. Tang Mumu was waiting so long that she felt hungry. She had reheated the dishes on the table several times, but he still hadn't returned.

"Ayan will not be back tonight, let's go to bed." Song Jinyu yawned and persuaded Tang Mumu to go to bed.

Tang Mumu stood up from the table, looking stubborn, "No, I have to wait until His Highness comes back tonight. I have to know what happened to Prince Shun."

If she is not satisfied, she will take action tonight.

Song Jinyu shook his head. Tang Mumu was a hopeless girl and he didn't want to waste any more time with her.

"If she doesn't want to leave, let her. It's almost midnight. I'll take you back to your room to rest."

Song Jinyu walked up to Ji Chu again, and seeing that she also looked dejected, he wanted to send her to rest first. He was already very familiar with Prince Rong's Mansion, so he naturally knew where the guest rooms were.

"You've been locked up at home for so many days, go and rest first. I'll stay with Mu Mu for a while, you don't have to worry about me."

Song Jinyu looked at Ji Chu, then at Tang Mumu, and yawned. He was really very sleepy and didn't want to waste time with them. Anyway, Rong Yan was there to hold up the sky if it fell, so he could sleep peacefully.

"It's up to you all. I'm going to bed first." Finding that no one was paying attention to him, Song Jinyu shrugged and left.

"Achu, why hasn't His Highness come back yet? Did something happen to him? Is it that Prince Shun refuses to admit his guilt or that Father is reluctant to punish Prince Shun?"

Tang Mumu supported his head with his right hand and drank another cup of strong tea, which helped him to drive away some of his sleepiness.

"I don't know, maybe he encountered something, but the prince should be able to handle it."

Rong Yan is so capable, he should be able to handle anything.

"That's right. He is so good at martial arts, nothing can stop him. It's no use just waiting like this. Let's go back to sleep first. His Highness will probably send someone to call us when he comes back. Let's go to sleep first."

Ji Chu thought about it and agreed with Tang Mumu's suggestion. The two of them fell asleep almost as soon as they touched the bed. Too many things had happened during this period of time and they hadn't had a good night's sleep. They were also extremely nervous. Now that they had some free time, they felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

The next morning, Jinse went to knock on the door and they woke up. They were still scared awake by Jinse's knocking on the door.

"Mumu, Mumu, get up quickly. Someone is knocking on the door. Is it the prince who has returned? Let's go and check."

Ji Chu grabbed the person on the bed and was about to run, but when he realized he was not wearing shoes, he turned back to put them on. Jinse waited for a while but saw no response from the person inside, so she pushed the door open and went in. As soon as she entered the room, she saw her own princess and Miss Ji busy in a panic.

It took another half an hour for Jinse to comb their hair again. After a simple wash, they rushed out of the room without even using the breakfast that Jinse brought.

Song Jinyu was the only one in the main room, drinking tea and eating fruits leisurely. When he saw Tang Mumu and Ji Chu, he extended his hand and invited them to sit down and drink tea and eat fruits.

"Your Highness hasn't come back yet, and you still have the heart to eat? I think your brain has been kicked by a donkey, shut up, don't eat." Tang Mumu was so angry that she almost laughed. Is Song Jinyu a glutton? If he doesn't eat or sleep, what's the use of him?

"It's no use taking your anger out on me. A-Yan hasn't returned home yet, and the morning court was cancelled. He must have run into some big trouble. If you don't eat now, you won't be able to eat when he returns home and finds out what trouble he ran into. I'm doing this for your own good, so eat something now."

"You have a bad mouth. Even eating can't stop your mouth. Hurry up and eat your food, and don't talk."

Tang Mumu put her hands on her hips and glared at Song Jinyu, but the latter continued to crack melon seeds and eat fruits calmly, looking very leisurely and happy.

It was not until noon that Rong Yan returned from the palace. When he came back, he could not even stand steadily and his face was very pale.

Tang Mumu helped him sit down on the cushion, poured him a cup of warm water and fed it to his mouth for him to drink. Rong Yan let her serve him and drank three cups of tea in a row. The fishy and sweet taste in his throat was finally suppressed, and he collapsed on the chair.

"What happened to you? Didn't you go to the palace? Why do you look like you were taken to prison and tortured? And what did the emperor say about Prince Shun? Will he be executed in the autumn?"

Rong Yan looked at Tang Mumu in disbelief, unable to believe that she would dare to say such words.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm asking you a question. Did the emperor tell me how to punish Prince Shun?"
