"Jiang Yue is not an idiot. He would definitely be able to see through such simple things, that's why I said he might not be completely loyal to Emperor Zhou."

Dong Fang Su thought for a while, "Even if it's really as you say, what does it have to do with us?"

"When he finds out that you understand the thoughts of a loyal ruler and his loved his people even more than the Emperor Zhou and that you are more honest, the balance in his heart will naturally lean towards you. At that time, even if you don't mention it, he will still help you keep your secret."

"So that's how it is." "Actually, royal brother is more worried about the people of Dazhou than I am, and is more concerned with them too. It's not like what you said, Jiang Yue should have his own considerations, we shouldn't act according to his wishes."

Mu Qian Xue smiled, "Looks like your relationship with Emperor Zhou is very good, can you tell me?"

Dong Fang Su took a spoonful of the already cold wine-making pill, "What do you want to hear?"

"third brother has told me about you before. According to him, you and Emperor Zhou were not born from the same mother?"

Dong Fang Su nodded and said, "My mother was a member of Imperial Father's family, she did not hold a high position, and did not have many favors. She was gentle, and did not like quarreling with others, and even if she suffered losses, she would laugh it off every time, and only seek to live a peaceful life. However, there are many people in the palace who bully the good and evil, and when they see my mother like this, it became even more excessive.

"After my fever had passed, I was especially afraid of the cold, but it had been many years since my mother had had any silver carbon as a sacrifice, so my mother, feeling sorry for me, went to find the Ministry of Internal Affairs Palace Chief, and asked for some silver carbon to keep me warm. In the end, it was difficult for the manager to make things difficult for me, and after finally getting some charcoal back, and it was still black charcoal, and the smoke in the room made me cough non-stop. I couldn't use it, I had been dizzy for a few days, and I couldn't really remember what happened those days, what impressed me the most was when my mother was crying while hugging me."

Xia Yue did not expect Dong Fang Su to have such a sad past, and pitied her, "What about the late emperor, does he not care about you, Prince?"

Dong Fang Su gave a dry laugh, "matriarch isn't good at fighting for favors, and would usually only be able to see royal father once every few months. Furthermore, royal father has more than a dozen sons under his command, so how would they care about the existence of a fourth grade Ronghua's son?"

"What happened next? Has Prince recovered?"

Dong Fang Su thought back to many years ago, "For the sake of me, Mother came to Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for the silver carbon again. As it so happened that Imperial Concubine Cheng was also there, she taunted Mother and even with the Ministry of Internal Affairs Supervisor, he drove Mother away at the same time. Fortunately, on the way, she met Imperial Concubine Wei, who was admiring flowers.

"The Imperial Concubine Wei that Prince speaks of should be the current empress dowager of this Northern Week." The Emperor Cheng had two empress dowager, one of them had married in her youth and had a deep affection for her. Unfortunately, her fortune was shallow, and she died of illness in the third year after her enthronement, after a few years in the throne, the imperial concubine, the Wechsler, took charge of six palaces, and her son, Dong Fang Hui, was appointed as the ruler. Two years ago, when the Emperor Cheng passed away, the crown prince, Dong Fang Hui, ascended the throne and became the empress dowager.

Dong Fang Su nodded his head and said, "Mother is also a gentle person. After knowing the circumstances of us two, she is very sympathetic, and it is only thanks to her care and care that I and my son can live a peaceful life in the imperial harem. Also, royal brother, whenever other princes try to bully me, he will always stand in front of me, so our relationship is much better than the other brothers."

Mu Qian Xue raised her eyebrows and said: "So that's how it is, no wonder you are protecting the Emperor Zhou, and forbid me from saying anything wrong about him."

Mu Qian Xue laughed but did not speak, if Dong Fang Hui was truly that good, then why did the Emperor Cheng not pass on the Camping to him, but instead to a disrespectful bastard child?

Things... It was not as simple as Dong Fang Su had thought.

On the afternoon of the third day, they finally arrived outside the Jinling. Unfortunately, the city gate was already closed, so they could only find an inn to stay at outside of the city, and then enter the city tomorrow morning.

Dong Fang Su asked the shop owner for a few bundles of grass and took it to the backyard to feed the horses. When they arrived, they saw Jiang Yue standing in front of the stable.

Dong Fang Su did not expect Jiang Yue to suddenly say something like that, and was slightly surprised, after a while he nodded his head: "Alright, Chong Yao."

His answer caused Jiang Yue to reveal a look of joy, "This official knows that Prince will personally come to feed the horses at this time of the day, so I was waiting for you."

Dong Fang Su's heart was moved, "Do we already have the answer?"

"Yes." Jiang Yue took the grass in Dong Fang Su's hands, and added them one by one into the manger, and watched the horses nibble at the fresh grass.

Just when Dong Fang Su was guessing secretly, Jiang Yue suddenly said something stupid, "Your Majesty would never believe that the Prince could save Princess by himself, so Miss Shi Jiu's identity as the Prince's maid should also not be mentioned."

"You mean …"

Jiang Yue smiled slightly, "Prince wishes for this official to hide the matter of Camping from you, do you not think of an excuse beforehand to prevent Your Majesty from becoming suspicious?"

Hearing this, how could Dong Fang Su not understand? A matter had settled on the ground as he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for helping this duke. This king is beyond thankful. This king will definitely remember this favor."

Jiang Yue immediately supported him up, "Prince is being too serious, it's just a small matter, the most important thing is to think of a good excuse tomorrow."

"There are many fugitives in the Jianghu, they have strong martial arts skills, but they do not ask about right or wrong, and would kill and burn anything for money; at that time, they would say that Shi Wu and the others were fugitives who took money to do things, and after saving them, they would leave. What does Chong Yao think?"
