Yu Cong dragged the man forward, talking a lot of nonsense. If he had done something outrageous, the emperor would be the first one not to let him go. How could he plead with the prince? It would be better to save his energy and talk to the emperor.

Bai Mingyu hugged her waist: "Madam, you are really amazing."

Shen Zhiyue puffed up her chest. Her last job before being Mr. Bai's assistant was as a public relations assistant. She had seen big scenes, and what she did just now was trivial to her.

Her eyes were full of distress, and she reached out to take away the rotten vegetable leaves on his shoulders. The leaves melted, and the green juice stained his cloth.

Only then did Bai Mingyu realize that he was very dirty now, so he decisively let go of his hand and separated from her.

"I will go take a shower now."

Shen Zhiyue stepped forward and hooked his arm: "I don't dislike you. Next time, don't protect yourself in front of these people. They are also the people you want to protect, but they are also troublesome. That adult is not a good person at first glance."

If he had been more polite to those merchants just now, she would have believed that he was unjust, but looking at his arrogant appearance, those people probably meant what they said.

"Whether he is a good person or not will be decided by the court."

If he allowed the merchants to act recklessly, it would only aggravate the merchants' arrogance, and they would think that the court was afraid of them causing trouble. If this matter continued to ferment and get worse, the situation would become difficult to control.

Shen Zhiyue stood beside him and spoke slowly: "Don't you think that the imperial court did go too far towards merchants? Merchants account for the majority of the money in the treasury, but their status is becoming increasingly humble, and even minor officials can bully them.

The imperial court is famous for its officials protecting each other, but it’s actually quite bad. These people have been burdened for too long, and I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to solve this time.”

When she worked in a public relations company before, she saw a lot of people who wanted to make trouble for wages. These people were also desperate, so they took this step. But after doing so much, they still couldn't get a cent back, and they even had to pay for food and accommodation. They posted money, but in the end there was a scene where someone jumped off the building.

Bai Mingyu said: "I want to go to Xie's house personally."

Over the years, the imperial court and Jianghu have not interfered with each other, but they have influenced each other. Now if something like this happens, you have to hit the snake seven inches.

Shen Zhiyue was worried that he would suffer a loss: "I will go with you."

"You're not feeling well yet during this trip to Jiangnan."

Shen Zhiyue hid the disappointment in her eyes. It took so long, but the child still didn't stay.

"It's just a small confinement period. It's enough to sit for half a month. It's not a real confinement period."

Bai Mingyu was worried that she would be afraid of having children in the future, and wanted to say something to make her relax.

"I will try my best to let Yue'er have a real confinement period. As long as I am careful this time, everything will be fine."

Just as he accumulates experience, he will definitely be careful in the future and call a doctor immediately if he sees any abnormality in her body.

Shen Zhiyue hit his chest with her hand, and said coquettishly: "Who wants to have sex with you?"

Bai Mingyu saw that she would respond now and was about to come out. He gently held her hand, his eyes gentle and silky.

"I can't help you."

"I didn't pay attention this time either. Let's not blame each other and think about how to solve this problem."

She finally understood that the man in the palace was just a decoration and was of no use at ordinary times. The key was to rely on him to handle national affairs.

"I will find someone to collect evidence of his crime and present it to the Emperor."

"Hope it goes well."

The various relationships between the DPRK and China are actually very complicated. If not handled well, it can easily lead to anger and burn out. But looking at him like this, he should be ignoring most of them.

When they returned to the palace, Bai Mingyu took a bath and walked out to see her reading and eating snacks in the courtyard.

He walked over and sat next to her: "It's cold outside, why don't you go into the room?"

"I like to sit outside." She stuffed a candied date into his mouth and watched his reaction with her eyes.

Bai Mingyu bit it open, and a sweet taste filled his mouth. He couldn't help but frown. Men rarely eat such sticky and sweet things.

"When you are in a bad mood, eating something sweet can help restore your mood."

Shen Zhiyue's eyes warned against vomiting, knowing that in this environment where sugar is more expensive than salt, eating candied dates is a luxury.

Under her pressure, Bai Mingyu swallowed the candied dates into his stomach. He immediately poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

At this time, a servant of the royal family walked in: "Your Majesty, Madam Marquis is here."

Bai Mingyu got up and went to the front hall. The servants had already prepared tea and snacks for Mrs. Hou Ye, who entertained her very attentively.

He walked over and asked, "Why is Madam Marquis here here?"

"Today, the Marquis asked me to come and ask the county government about something."

The news that he was imprisoned spread a lot in the capital. Everyone knew that he was the Marquis's favorite disciple. His accident was just to slap the Marquis' face. As the saying goes, the top beam is not straight and the bottom beam is crooked. The Hou family attaches great importance to face. This must not happen. This kind of thing.

"If he really does something that is harmful to nature and justice, I will report it to the emperor truthfully and without any partiality."

Bai Mingyu directly blocked her words. Dashuo is a law-abiding person. If officials continue to protect each other now, I am afraid something will really happen.

Mrs. Hou didn't care about the pros and cons behind it. She only knew that she came here to save the face of the Hou family.

"Your Highness, do you still remember that I owe the Marquis a favor for the gold jewelry? The Marquis said that I hope the Prince can be kind to me."

"In other matters, I can show my favor, but not in this matter. If I let him go, those merchants will be in chaos."

Mrs. Houye looked unconcerned: "Can't it be enough for the prince to send troops to suppress it? A mere mob dares to cause trouble. It's so disrespectful of the emperor."

She directly brought the emperor out to talk about the matter. Since he thoroughly investigated corrupt officials, the entire court is now in need of people, and the Marquis has also been favored. There is no benefit for the Prince to go against the Marquis.

Bai Mingyu was indifferent: "I will discuss the pros and cons with the emperor, so this matter will not worry Madam Hou."

Mrs. Hou Ye saw that he was unwilling to accept his soft words, so it would be meaningless to continue talking.

"I know that the prince doesn't like to owe favors. It depends on whether the prince wants to keep things private or public."

She stood up and left after leaving these words. Bai Mingyu asked someone to see Mrs. Hou off.

The entire front hall fell silent, and Shen Zhiyue walked out from the corner: "I think the emperor may side with the Marquis this time."

Bai Mingyu looked at her: "The emperor is not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong." They had grown up since childhood, and they still understood their nature.

Shen Zhiyue wanted to tell him the truth at this time: "Each emperor since ancient times may need more than just a loyal minister. They need a minister who is versatile and tactful and knows when not to embarrass him."
