After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Chapter 291 Missing

A sudden heavy snowfall late at night brought the weather, which had just warmed up, back on track. The streets and alleys were covered with snow, and everything was white with frost.

When you walk down the street, you can see vendors clearing the snow in front of their doors while breathing out air.

Yun Shuning and Lian'er walked side by side on the street, thinking about choosing a gift for their fourth brother.

A few days ago, her fourth brother showed her his latest crossbow. She was amazed by its ingenious design and powerful lethality.

She once attended archery training classes when she had nothing to do in modern times, and even studied the bow and arrow carefully for a period of time in order to learn it well. Then, she disassembled a modern crossbow and drew it based on her memory and gave it to her fourth brother.

At that time, Yun Li was shocked when he saw the drawings she provided. He wanted to let her make them herself and present them to Emperor Jingsheng to get a reward, but Yun Shuning refused him. Yun Li suddenly realized why his sister was unwilling to take the credit.

People in Yanjing are gossipy and a tall tree attracts the wind. If a woman designed such a wonderful crossbow, once it gets out, she might be put in a dangerous situation. Thinking of this, Yun Li reluctantly accepted it and followed Yun Shuning's wishes.

He successfully made a repeating crossbow according to the drawings provided by Yun Shuning and presented it to Emperor Jingsheng, who praised it repeatedly. In addition to Jiang Yu's advice, he immediately decided to give the vacant position of Arsenal Chief of the Ministry of War to Yun Li.

Although this official position is not high, it can directly bypass the Ministry of War and obey the arrangements of Emperor Jingsheng. The entire Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is very happy for Yun Li. Yun Shuning thought of taking advantage of today's free time to choose a suitable gift for him.

Yun Shuning passed by one shop after another, glancing at the dazzling array of goods, but nothing satisfied her. Just when she was feeling depressed, a bronze ware caught her attention.

The bronze ware was exquisitely carved and had a calm temperament. It was similar to the little gadgets that Yunli liked to collect on a daily basis, and was a perfect gift.

Yun Shuning then smiled with satisfaction and was about to ask the shopkeeper to wrap up the bronze ware when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Miss Yun, what a coincidence."

Yun Shuning turned around and saw Gu Wen standing not far away, smiling and looking at her gently.

She was slightly surprised: "Master Gu, aren't you on duty today?"

"It's a rare opportunity to take a break. I didn't expect to meet Miss Yun here." Gu Wen said with a faint smile.

Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, the affection in his eyes still showed unconsciously. He coughed lightly and said, "I wonder if Miss Yun would like to talk somewhere else?"

Yun Shuning saw through his thoughts, pondered for a while, and nodded.

Some things need to be talked out thoroughly.

A faint fragrance filled the teahouse, and Gu Wen and Yun Shuning were sitting at a small table by the window.

Gu Wen pursed his lips and spoke slowly after a while: "Miss Yun...how have you been lately?"

"Of course it's good," Yun Shuning stroked the edge of the teacup with his fingers and smiled faintly, "You also know that I will be getting married soon."

Gu Wen's heart skipped a beat and his eyes dimmed.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Do you really like His Royal Highness Prince Rui?"

Yun Shuning looked into his eyes, sighed slightly in her heart, and then smiled and said, "Of course it's true. His Royal Highness Prince Rui and I have a mutual understanding, and I will never be with anyone other than him in this life."

The hand under the sleeve clenched, and then loosened slightly after a while.

Gu Wen forced a smile and said, "That's good... Miss Yun, if you have any difficulties in the future, remember to come to me at any time. I will do my best to help you. This is... our eternal promise to you as friends."

Yun Shuning nodded slightly and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Gu."

The two of them were silent for a moment, and Gu Wen finally stood up, looked at her deeply, lowered his eyes and bowed, saying: "It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

Yun Shuning also stood up and said with a smile, "Master Gu, take care."

Gu Wen turned and left, slowly blending into the crowd, then stopped and turned his head.

The dark eyes, spinning with sparks, burst into thousands of fireworks, which passed over the crowd and landed on the girl's soft shoulders and her gradually receding back.

……It doesn't matter……

As long as she is happy, everything is enough.

Even if he was just a passer-by in her life.

It's better than not leaving any trace in her life.

……

"Snapped."

The branches broke under the weight of the snow.

It is also the mood of everyone standing in the Golden Palace at this moment.

While the sudden death in Liuzhou was still under investigation, news came that a large-scale plague had suddenly broken out in Liuzhou, causing great panic. For a time, refugees resurfaced, and rumors of the prince's misconduct and heavenly punishment became more and more intense. The people were furious and protested, strongly demanding the dethronement of the prince.

A man with a solemn expression walked out of the ranks of officials holding a tablet in his hand and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been away for a few days. Not only has he failed to solve the problem of sudden deaths in Liuzhou, but he has also caused an epidemic to break out, with refugees everywhere, causing the people to suffer terribly. Such immoral and incompetent behavior is unworthy of being the crown prince of a country."

He glanced at Jiang Chen, then looked back and said, "Your Majesty, I beg you to depose the crown prince to protect the country of Great Yan!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent for a moment, and then a heated discussion broke out.

Emperor Jingsheng's face turned pale, and he slammed the imperial desk again: "How dare you! The Crown Prince is the foundation of the country, can he be appointed or deposed at will?! Prince Rui!"

"My son is here."

A thunderous voice came from a high position: "I order you to quickly investigate the Liuzhou incident. If anyone dares to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, I will not let them off easily!"

"My son, I obey."

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and agreed.

Emperor Jingsheng pressed his hand between his eyebrows and waved it, and everyone immediately shouted and withdrew from the court.

Jiang Yu did not stop. After leaving the palace, he went straight back to Prince Rui's Mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, Chen Zhao came to meet him and presented a letter with a serious look: "My lord, here is a letter from His Royal Highness Prince Rong, saying that the situation is urgent."

Jiang Yu opened it and took a look, his expression changed slightly.

Chen Zhao lowered his head. If there was something that could make their master change color, it must be very important. He did not ask, did not speak, and waited quietly for the person in front of him to give orders.

After a while, Jiang Yu rubbed the letter with his fingers, and it turned into pieces. He strode away and said, "The prince was chased by a group of refugees while dealing with the riots. Yun Sheng followed closely to protect him. Now both of them are missing."

He stepped into the study, waved his hand, closed the window, looked at Chen Zhao and said, "This matter was mentioned in a letter a few days ago, but Jiang Che didn't get a reply, so he almost rushed back to see if we needed his help."

Chen Zhao looked up in astonishment and said in a lost voice: "The letter was intercepted?!"
