Chapter 4:
I left the Marquis's residence and went to the Ciyu Bureau on the outskirts of the capital.
I felt extremely gratified seeing that the twenty-seven lives were still alive.
Yes, this time I used a strategy.
Because I found out in advance, I had someone copy his letter when Mu Junze secretly traded with the auction house owner.
There were two identical copies, complete with a personal seal, and no one knew.
And this time, the Western Region's glass lanterns were only made of ordinary materials.
Only the Emperor would consider them to be substandard.
Mu Junze was eager for recognition and naturally didn't notice anything unusual.
Fortunately, these children remained alive.
Some things are changed in the end! I thought Mu Junze would use this matter to his advantage and use his older sister to seek justice for him.
Unexpectedly, he used his injury as an excuse and left the residence directly.
His older sister waited for him every day, but there was no news from him.
Whenever she went to find him, they always missed each other.
Until that day, when his older sister's anger reached its peak, Mu Junze appeared again.
"Awei, it's my fault for making you worry." "Although I am a prince, I have too many helplessness and insincerity.
Father has already scolded me severely last time, and I can't let him down again." "I just hope that through my current efforts, I can gain his favor.
But all of this is for you to have a bright future with me.
Can you forgive me?" The crown prince refers to himself as "I" in front of his subjects, how humble and passionate! Sure enough, after his older sister heard his words, all her anger disappeared, replaced by concern.
She finally said, "Take good care of yourself." After Mu Junze left, I walked out from the shadows.
Instead of a face filled with happiness, my older sister suddenly looked stern and interrogated me sharply.
"Yejing Zhao, why did you scheme against Aze with the glass lantern incident?" "If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have left the residence and suffered at the inn!" "He had the audacity to complain to you?" I approached slowly.
"Do you know that he wanted to use the remains of twenty-seven boys and girls from the Ciyu Bureau to make glass lanterns? He came to you because he couldn't match your skills?" "Yeyu Wei, you have an army of two hundred thousand soldiers in your hands.
You are a respected general by the people.
But what about now? Just for a man driven by greed, you have repeatedly questioned me, losing your own judgment long ago." "My Ye family has been guarding the people for generations and never indiscriminately kills.
If you want to be foolish, do it alone and don't drag everyone else down with you!"
"She was stunned for a moment before saying, 'No, Aze is not that kind of person.'" I immediately did not want to say much to her and left straight away.
I really couldn't understand, is love really so terrifying? How did my older sister, who was once so talented and beautiful, end up in this situation? Where did Mujunze go to suffer? These past few days, he went out early and came back late, clearly for the purpose of mining the gold and lithium ores.
Since he wants the gold mines of Qinzhou so much, I will not grant his wish! "Inform the person in the capital about the news of the gold mines, he will know how to deal with it." "Yes." There was a slight movement in the air as the secret guard left.
Hopefully, this will help him.
When the truth is revealed in the future, we can all prevail.
