The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

While waiting for the results of the search, everyone returned to the Dali Temple. Not long after they arrived, Yin Shao and Yu Liang returned with their men.

Yu Liang lowered his head and did not dare to look at Dongfang Shuo.

Yin Shao stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we have searched the two places that His Royal Highness Prince Cheng mentioned, and did not find any suicide note. The people around Cheng'an County Princess also don't know about the suicide note."

He added: "Moreover, ever since Prince Zhou Wu and his companions got into trouble, the Princess of Cheng'an has been trying to find a way to plead for them. The people around her can testify to this."

In other words, if there was a suicide note, Chu Heyi would have already left Zhou Mochen and the others alone for life and death, and would not have tried every means to plead for them from the very beginning.

When a person proposes to break off all ties with someone, apart from his parents who will coax him, no one else will do so. This is human nature.

Chu Heyi doesn't look like the type of person who would try to please others only to have them give him a cold shoulder.

The emperor's eyes wandered back and forth between Chu Heyi, Zhou Mochi and the others: "It seems that you guys really have deep feelings for each other."

Wen Tingshen said: "Your Majesty, when Prince Zhou Wu and his men were assassinated, they chose to flee the Northern Zhou Palace, which was very courageous; and they were afraid that their identities would be exposed and would implicate the Princess of Cheng'an County, so they pretended to have severed all ties with the Princess of Cheng'an County, which was really a show of affection and loyalty.

"Such a courageous, righteous person should be treated as a guest of honor in our country."

The emperor pondered for a while and said, "Let them all go. We will discuss this matter again in the morning court tomorrow."

No one dared to say anything.

Yao An: "The Emperor is returning to the palace—"

Everyone knelt down to see him off respectfully.

At the court the next morning, the two groups of court officials, led by the prime minister and Wen Tingshen, had a fierce argument over the matter of Zhou Mochen and Sang Nong.

In the end, because the prince's side joined in and agreed with Wen Tingshen's proposal, the matter finally came to a conclusion.

Zhou Mochi, Sang Nong and Song Wuxi were spared the death penalty. Sang Nong remained as the river embankment captain of Daqi, responsible for building canals for Daqi.

Zhou Mochen and Song Wuxi were restored to their status as prince and princess. The emperor ordered a mansion to be built for them and arranged guards, maids, servants and maids to take care of them.

After regaining his status as a prince, Zhou Mochen became a guest of honor of Daqi and was still in charge of the military training in the barracks, but he did not hold any official position.

The emperor also specially invited Chu Heyi to the palace, gave her a private lunch, and praised her for her ability to identify talented people.

This is a great honor for women.

Dongfang Shuo had a big tantrum in his mansion. He didn't understand why, when he could obviously put Zhou Mochi and the others to death and could also use this incident to suppress Chu Heyi and the others, not only were Zhou Mochi and the others found not guilty in the end, but they also became guests of honor at Daqi.

And made wedding dress for Chu Heyi!

What exactly do Chu Heyi and Xie Lin want to do?

Why go against him everywhere?

Do they want to rebel?

Dongfang Shuo smashed everything at hand, and after a while he realized that Runxue did not come in to comfort him.

He asked the people around him: "Where is the princess?"

Yu Liang said, "Your Highness, the princess has entered the palace to talk with the noble concubine."

Dongfang Shuo frowned, "Why is she entering the palace now? When my mother finds out about Zhou Mochi and the others, she will definitely be furious. Isn't she going to be scolded by my mother when she enters the palace?"

Just as Dongfang Shuo expected, when Runxue went to see Concubine Zheng, she was indeed scolded by her.

"You stayed by Shuo'er's side, but you didn't persuade Shuo'er to stop his father from re-examining the case. If he hadn't re-examined the case, Zhou Mochi and the others would have been dead by now."

After saying this, he was still angry in his heart, and continued: "Zhou Mochi and his men seem to be talents of Daqi, but in fact they are loyal to Chu Heyi. Chu Heyi's power is huge, and Chu Heyi has a grudge against Shuoer. If Shuoer wants to move up, Chu Heyi will definitely stop him. How will you deal with it then?

"Also, the prince actually intervened in Zhou Mochi's affairs and helped Chu Heyi and the others. Maybe Chu Heyi will become the prince's helper...

"Shuo'er...is there still hope?" Concubine Zheng's voice lowered, but her aura was heavy.

Runxue was very docile: "Mother taught me that it was my negligence that allowed Xie Lin and Chu Heyi to take advantage of the situation. By the time I realized something was wrong, the momentum had already formed. I couldn't stop it and could only watch Zhou Mochi being rescued by them."

When Concubine Zheng saw her admitting her mistake so meekly, she was angry but also helpless, after all, the thing had already happened.

Still, he couldn't help but speak venomously: "Use your brain more in the future. The person was already on the verge of death, but he was still rescued. You are really stupid."

How could the son be wrong? How could he be stupid?

The ones who were wrong and stupid, of course, were the people around him. They were all so incompetent that they failed to help his son achieve the ultimate victory.

"It's not just Shuo'er who lost face this time, but also his uncle. The prime minister and the prince of a country actually lost so miserably. Runxue, you are very responsible."

Runxue took the teacup from Nuoqing and handed it to Concubine Zheng without getting angry: "Mother, calm down. Your Highness will earn back the face you lost today in the future. Just wait for the right time."

Concubine Zheng snorted proudly. This was quite pleasant to the ear.

Runxue said: "There is just one thing that mother must be on guard against in advance."

Concubine Zheng asked her, "What's the matter?"

"At the last celebration banquet, the Queen seemed to want to put Xie Lin and Chu Heyi to death. It was also because of that night that the Queen, Xie Lin, Chu Heyi and others became complete enemies.

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now the Queen and the others have realized that the Crown Prince took the initiative to help with Zhou Mochi’s matter. It is clear that the Queen wants to win over Xie Lin and the others.

"What mother said just now is very good. If Xie Lin and Chu Heyi become the prince's helpers, the consequences will be disastrous. But mother, there is no need to worry too much. Xie Lin and Chu Heyi are very noble and will not easily bow to the enemy.

"If mother can join hands with the queen and get rid of them before they side with the crown prince..."

Concubine Zheng was horrified when she heard this. She vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the Crown Prince helping Zhou Mochen. Now after Runxue's analysis, she finally understood what was wrong.

She absolutely cannot allow Xie Lin and Chu Heyi to become the prince's helpers, otherwise it will be even more difficult for her son to ascend the throne.

But she quickly frowned: "You and the Queen have tried every possible means, but you can't hurt Xie Lin and Chu Heyi at all. How can I eliminate them?"

"Mother, I have a plan that can send them to the eighteenth level of hell, with no chance of recovery, but I need your help."

Concubine Zheng was eager to kill the enemy and immediately asked her what strategy she had.

Runxue whispered the plan into her ear.

After hearing this, Concubine Zheng's eyes lit up and she felt confident.
