After returning from Chicken Cry Temple, Shi Jinchen discovered that his Ke Yuehua was a little unstable.

"Xiao Sui, what's wrong with you?" Shi Jinchen touched his small hand that held Ke Yuehua, and said worriedly.

Ke Yuehua came back to his senses, "It's fine, I was thinking about what that monk said just now."

Shi Jinchen held the Ke Yuehua in his arms, consoling: "Just now, that monk was speaking nonsense, but one thing was true, and that is that you are also a rich person. This is true, because in the future, my wangfei will definitely be a rich person."

"Who wants to be your consort?"

"You, don't you want to?"

"I don't want to."

Shi Jinchen knew that she was being shy, and shamelessly said: "It's I who wanted you to become my wangfei as soon as possible, and marry me."

Two hours later, they returned to the Duke Palaces. Along the way, their Shi Jinchen s struck the ground, and Ke Yuehua finally revealed a smile on his face.

But, just as he got off the carriage, he was stopped by the butler, "My prince, Mister Sima has something urgent to report to you."

Shi Jinchen nodded, and told Ke Yuehua, "I'm probably going to be busy again, I can't accompany you anymore."

Ke Yuehua nodded his head, "It's alright, I've also been tired all day today. I'll go back and rest, you should also pay attention to your body, don't be too tired."

"Alright, I will definitely listen to Xiao Sui." After Shi Jinchen said his goodbyes, he went to the study room.

At this moment, Mister Sima was waiting for Shi Jinchen in the study room.

The moment Shi Jinchen entered the room.

"Your Highness." Simayan bowed.

Shi Jinchen stepped forward to help him up, "Mister Sima, please quickly get up."

Shi Jinchen told the butler to serve tea. After Mister Sima drank the tea to warm his body, he started to report.

"Your Highness, now that things have progressed much, the people we sent to the officials' residence previously reported that they all believed that the crown prince had colluded with the broken sword cliff, and that as long as Your Highness placed an important medicine on them to intimidate them, they would be able to submit to the imperial government."

"You have done very well, arrange a time. In three days, I will summon them from the manor." Shi Jinchen decided to completely resolve this matter in three days.

"Your Highness, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Shi Jinchen turned his eyes, thinking that there was nothing else he could do, "If there's nothing else, Mister can go back and rest properly."

"This official will take his leave." Sima Yan said goodbye and left.

Three days later, in the main hall of the King's Manor where the guests were gathered.

Inside stood some fearful ministers, "Tell me, an hour has passed, and the prince still hasn't come out, is he?"

"Alright, alright. Quiet down."

"What did the Prince summon us here for?"

"Don't say anymore. Since you've come, let's just wait for now."

The officials were guessing the reason why the Shi Jinchen had called them over at all times. Moreover, it had already been an hour and they still hadn't called them over. They were really confused.

"Butler Li, why don't we have tea?" Shi Jinchen had finally arrived late.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

"Greetings, Your Highness."

One voice after another went to pay respects to the Shi Jinchen.

"Everyone, please rise. The reason I called all of you here today is because I have something that Jinchen do not understand, and I specifically want to seek your guidance. " Shi Jinchen sat in the main seat and politely began the match.

"I dare not, I only need your order."

"In that case, This King will see the mountain through the door."

The officials fearfully said, "Your Highness, please speak."

"On the orders of His Majesty, I have come to Jinling to investigate the matter of the crown prince colluding with the local officials. Now, the truth has been revealed." Halfway through his words, Shi Jinchen stopped to see their reactions.

Just as the Shi Jinchen's voice fell, the servants kneeled down. It was still not particularly hot in June, so some officials' backs were even soaked through, and they were all scared.

"This humble subject is guilty."

"This subject is terrified!"

"This subject was also coerced by someone."

Shi Jinchen quietly looked at the people below him begging for mercy, waiting for their spirits to reach a certain degree of fear.

"Now that the Emperor is here, you guys actually colluded with the Crown Prince in private. What do you think of the imperial power?" The Shi Jinchen was furious.

"This humble subject, this humble subject, is guilty."

The officials were trembling in fear as they waited for the Shi Jinchen to subside.

"Now, in addition to forming a private party, the Crown Prince has even colluded with the organizations of the martial arts world, attempting to harm me."

"This humble subject doesn't know! Please forgive me, your highness. "

"Now, considering that all of you are normally in charge of handling the affairs of Jinling in a orderly manner, making ends meet, as long as you submit to the imperial government, this king will let bygones be bygones, and the emperor will forgive you as well."

The Shi Jinchen passed the emperor's orders to them.

"This humble subject will definitely serve Your Majesty and will not dare to collude with the crown prince again, Your Majesty is wise."

"I second that."

"I would not dare to form a alliance with the Crown Prince."

"The Emperor is wise."

A string of words of thanks from the Emperor for letting them go.

Shi Jinchen raised his brows, opened his eyes, and said sternly: "Everyone will definitely remember today's matter in your hearts.

"This humble subject dares not."

"This humble subject doesn't dare."

There was a string of people who didn't dare to move up and down.

There were even some ministers who were lacking in mental fortitude who fainted on the spot. There were even some who were incontinent.

Shi Jinchen felt that the results were almost enough, so they let them go back.

The ministers' legs were weak and could only support each other as they sweated profusely. When had the ministers who had been arrogantly showing off in Jinling City ever received such torture? This was truly the first time in their lives.

After Shi Jinchen had the butler send them off, he would go to the study room and write down the cause and effect of the investigation in Jinling in detail on the imperial reports. In the past, they had only regarded it as a struggle between the parties. Who would have known that the crown prince would actually collude with the assassination organisations? The people in the broken sword cliff were bloodless, and many of their comrades had died under their hands.

However, Shi Jinchen did not record the matter of the crown prince colluding with broken sword cliff. The main reason was that he did not have clear evidence, afraid that he would alert the enemy.

A dark guard came over and told him to present the imperial report to the emperor as soon as possible.

After the hidden guards departed, Shi Jinchen s had their stewards pack up, preparing to return to the capital after receiving the emperor's decree five days later.

Hearing this matter, the happiest person was Jing Yi, she had been imprisoned inside the mansion all day and was extremely depressed.

"Miss, we are finally going back to Jinling." Jing Yi spun happily in circles.

Ke Yuehua: "Alright, alright, stop turning, it makes me dizzy."

The Jing Yi stopped, and his vision became blurry. His foot did not manage to stabilize his leg, and his butt fell onto the ground.

This caused Ke Yuehua and Autumn to laugh out loud.

"Has the matter with Autumn Shadow been settled yet? Ever since we parted at Mt. Tai, when he had some matters to attend to and had to leave, he has yet to return. " Ke Yuehua asked autumn with concern.

"This servant doesn't know either. Before Big Brother Jian left, he only told me to take good care of Miss and didn't say anything else." Late autumn shook her head. She herself missed Big Brother Jian very much.

"How about this, before we leave, we will leave a note for the gatekeepers. When Qiuying returns, she will go back to the capital and find us when she sees the note." Ke Yuehua had arranged everything.
