Chapter 478: Clearing Her Injustice

Not only was he sincere, but his bearing and upbringing were also top-notch. Yu Jianjia’s impression of Prince Liang suddenly increased. “Prince Liang is also a polite person.”

Seventh Aunt agreed deeply.

It was not good to delay things when they were out. They were afraid that an accident would happen on the way. It would be fine if they met someone polite, but if they met someone ignorant, it would be difficult.

Third Miss Yu was a young lady, so it wasn’t good for her to stay outside for too long.

In addition, although the journey to the manor was not long, Yu Jianjia’s body was weak, and she had brought a lot of things on this trip. The carriage traveled slowly, and it was late.

Ai Ye continued, “Prince Liang said that before he returned to Liangzhou, King Liang had bought a manor for him in the suburbs of the capital. He was going to the forest of that manor to hunt. Prince Liang said that the location of the manor was coincidentally adjacent to our family’s hot spring manor. He also said that if Young Miss encountered anything inconvenient on the manor and couldn’t resolve it immediately, she could go to his manor to visit.”

Everything at home had been prepared well, and the manor was also meticulous. However, it was inevitable that there would be some things that could not be resolved far away from the residence.

They were neighbors, so it was only natural for them to take care of each other.

This Prince Liang was really considerate.

Yu Jianjia suddenly remembered Song Mingzhao, whom she had met in the residence previously.

The heir of the Song family, who was as glorious as the moon, treated her as if she was nothing. He treated her coldly and did not even hide it.

She could hardly believe that the talented and noble Prince Song in her heart was actually such a rude person.

The Song and Yu families were family friends. Just based on this relationship, Song Mingzhao shouldn’t have ignored her existence like this.

At first, she thought that Song Mingzhao was arrogant because of his talent.

However, immediately after, she realized that Heir Song clearly did not treat Yu Youyao like this. It was not that Heir Song did not know how to be polite, but he was only polite to Yu Youyao.

Although Prince Liang was not as famous as Heir Song, he was still magnanimous and extraordinary. Not only were his words and actions noble, but he was also very polite.

Yu Jianjia felt a little comforted. “When we reach the manor, pick some good fruits from the manor and send some to Young Master Liang’s manor to express our gratitude.”

It was only right for her to be close to her neighbors and give them some ordinary things.

Seventh Aunt reminded, “Prince Liang is too polite.”

She was unaccountably solicitous and had to be more avoidant.

However, although she felt that Yu Jianjia shouldn’t be involved too much with the heir of the vassal lord from Liangzhou, her actions were understandable, and some things couldn’t be said openly.

Yu Jianjia’s heart skipped a beat. She said gently, “It’s just that if someone respects me, I’ll return the favor.”

Young Master Liang was too polite, so she couldn’t be too rude.

The identity of a vassal king had always been too sensitive. Others avoided it, so she naturally wouldn’t really interfere.

However, basic etiquette needed to be maintained. In addition, the heir of the Liang was indeed a dragon and phoenix among men. He was neither far nor close, so he was not harmful to her.

However, there was no need to tell others about this.

Seventh Aunt understood what she meant and understood that Yu Jianjia was not ignorant. “It’s only right.”

The situation in Shandong had stabilized, and there had been new developments in King You’s case.

As the three divisions interrogation advanced, many officials were involved in the court, including two old cabinet ministers.

The real cause of King You’s death could no longer be hidden.

Youzhou was located in the north, so it could help the capital and resist external enemies. Therefore, the generals guarding Youzhou often changed. This way, it was inevitable that the generals guarding Youzhou would not have a strong foundation and would be controlled by the nobles in the north and the officials who colluded with them.

The officials who were stationed in Youzhou had joined forces with the nobles who had taken root in the north for generations. They controlled most of the supplies in the north and obtained huge profits. As a result, after King You guarded Youzhou, he was often overstretched because of the lack of troops and was controlled by the officials and nobles of the north.

It wasn’t that King You didn’t want to get rid of them, but a strong dragon couldn’t suppress an earth dragon snake. These monsters had colluded to form a considerable force. It was really difficult to guard against.

Later on, the Di people invaded wantonly. Due to the lack of supplies, the North was caught off guard, causing them to lose three cities in a row.

In order to understand the urgent situation in the north, the heir, Yin Huaixi, had no choice but to ask the officials and nobles of the north to help. However, these people planned to escape from the north with their supplies.

This angered Yin Huaixi.

Yin Huaixi had captured these officials and nobles, raided their houses, and opened their grain cellars. There were mountains of money and rice that was mostly moldy.

Due to the lack of supplies in the north, they were in a difficult situation. The commoners were suffering unspeakably, but all of them were so rich that they did not want to support them in battle. They were actually so rich but they wanted to escape with the supplies. Their deaths were really not worth pitying.

The war in the north was tense. All the officials and nobles were like this. It could be said that there were internal and external troubles. If they couldn’t intimidate the rear, their backyard would probably catch fire again before the war was over.

Prince Yin had no choice but to kill some wealthy and heartless nobles, as well as some cowardly officials to warn the others.

In the eyes of others, not only were Prince Yin’s actions not wrong, but they were also meritorious.

Unexpectedly, his actions had directly poked a hornet’s nest.

This was why the Marquis of Changxing had colluded with the officials and nobles of the north to steal the military power of Youzhou. He had joined forces with the Imperial Court and reported a series of crimes such as King You’s rampage in the north.

The emperor was already furious because of the war in the north. When he received the report, he was even more furious.

The two old court officials in the cabinet, led by Elder Tian, were already colluding with the officials and nobles of the north. They took this opportunity to encourage the court officials to ask the emperor to summon King You into the capital.

The reason was that the Marquis of Weining and the Marquis of Changxing were in charge of the war ahead. King You should enter the capital and clarify that the war in the north had failed, that he was domineering, and that he had allowed his son to commit murder.

No one knew that this was actually a scheme by the cabinet, the Marquis of

Changxing, the officials and nobles of the north against the King You’s Residence.

Not long after King You entered the capital, the Marquis of Changxing ambushed Yin Huaixi on the battlefield.

Yin Huaixi had been shot off his horse. Everyone thought that he had already been trampled into mud by the horse, but they did not know that the guards beside Yin Huaixi had used their bodies to block the chaotic trampling of the horses.

Even so, Prince Yin was still seriously injured and almost lost his life.

Before the news of Prince Yin’s “death” spread, the officials and nobles of the north simply went all out and joined forces with the Marquis of Changxing to forge “evidence” that King You had colluded with the enemy to betray the country.

Using this as an excuse, they sent 10,000 elite troops to besiege the King You’s

Residence, intending to enter and search it..
