Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 184: Scheme against each other
Ji Anyu mistakenly thought that Shen Jing wanted to do that. After all, Shen Jing liked that very much in private. She thought that she hadn't been with Shen Jing for many days, and considering that Shen Jing was busy outside, it wouldn't be a big deal to agree with Shen Jing tonight.

She put her hand on her belt, untied it, turned her back and took off her clothes. After waiting for a while and seeing Shen Jing not coming over, she looked back in confusion and saw Shen Jing sleeping soundly. She couldn't help but cover her face in shyness.

What is she thinking?

Ji Anyu secretly despised herself for a moment, then turned her head to look at Shen Jing's face, which had become thinner.

"I've gained weight, but you've lost weight." Ji Anyu leaned over and kissed Shen Jing's eyebrows. "You're still so beautiful even though you've lost weight."

Ji Anyu smiled foolishly, reached out to untie Shen Jing's clothes, and checked if Shen Jing was injured. Sure enough, she saw a wound on Shen Jing's shoulder.

She murmured with a hint of complaint, "If you're hurt, just tell me. Why are you trying to hide it from me?"

Ji Anyu dug out the golden medicine and carefully applied it to Shen Jing.

The next morning, Shen Jing felt his palm was a little numb. He opened his eyes and saw Ji Anyu holding his uninjured hand with his face resting on his palm.

Shen Jing looked at Ji Anyu quietly and gently, then slowly moved Ji Anyu's head away, looked down at his loose clothes, and knew that Ji Anyu had applied medicine to him last night.

He bent his index finger and gently scratched the tip of Ji Anyu's nose, then tucked in the quilt for Ji Anyu, tiptoed out of bed, tidied his clothes and went out.

Ji Anyu woke up and found no one around. She felt in a trance that Shen Jing had not come back, as if she was dreaming last night. When she got out of bed, she accidentally glanced at the golden medicine on the table.

I wasn't dreaming, Shen Jing really came back.

Ji Anyu's appetite was much better than usual. He ate two baskets of steamed dumplings, a basket of small meat buns, and also picked up some sour fruits.

When Qing Wu saw Ji Anyu eating three sour fruits in a row, he couldn't help but cover his cheeks, as if his mouth was sour.

At this moment, in the prefect's mansion, Shen Jing held the account book in his hand and stepped on Li Zhipei's face.

"Tell me, where did the food go?"

"I...I don't know. I only know that the nobles in the capital asked me to transport the grain and grass out of the city. After they took over, they disappeared."

"Oh? Then how do you explain the money in your secret room?" Shen Jing slapped Li Zhipei's face.

Li Zhipei begged for mercy, "These were all given to me by others. I told them not to give them any more, but they insisted on giving them to me. If I refused to accept them, they would leave them and I had no choice but to accept them."

"So you are innocent?"

"Yes, yes." Li Zhipei felt innocent and wronged. "I only wanted to be an honest official who speaks for the people. I definitely did not take money. The account book is fake."

"It's written in black and white, and you actually said it was fake. Did someone force you to sign it?"

"Yes, I was forced by someone else. He put a knife to my neck and I dared not disobey. Your Excellency, I am a good official."

Shen Jing was amused by Li Zhipei's self-righteous words.

"Li Zhipei, do you think everyone else is a fool like you? Your concubines have already confessed everything you did, why are you still being so stubborn?"

Li Zhipei's eyes went dark, and he quickly explained: "My Lord, you have to believe me. It's only women and villains that are difficult to raise. They are all framing me! I just tortured them with sex, and they hate me."

"Bah! Li Zhipei, Li Zhipei! You studied hard for so many years, but you still oppress the people and bully men and women. I don't want to waste my words with you. Someone, take him out and behead him in public."

"No, no, you can't just kill me. I'm an official appointed by the imperial court!"

Li Zhipei was so scared that he peed his pants. This procedure was wrong. Shouldn't he be sent to the capital to meet the emperor first, and then his guilt would be determined?
"I have someone above me, you can't kill me!"

Shen Jing licked his back teeth with murderous intent in his eyes.

"You have someone above you? You are so arrogant. Do you think I don't have anyone above you? The emperor ordered me to investigate the missing grain and grass, but you not only tried to stop me, but also murdered me and detained the princess. All these things are enough to kill you a thousand times! Take me away!"

Li Zhipei screamed, "My dear, please save me!" He looked around like he was grabbing a life-saving straw. "Don't look." Shen Jing kicked Li Zhipei's butt and sneered, "The dear you mentioned can't even protect himself, and you still expect him to come out and save you, it's ridiculous! Be a good person in your next life."

Shen Jing has found clues about how Wei Luoyan smuggled food and fodder to feed his troops. In the past, Wei Luoyan served the prince obediently as a dog, but now he has the intention of rebellion. Ha, does he really think that the child in Concubine Shu's belly is the prince?
"All those who followed Li Zhipei will be beheaded and their property confiscated to fill the national treasury!"

When the people heard that the evildoers were beheaded and displayed to the public, they applauded.

Wei Songlin took advantage of the chaos to organize people to capture Ji Anyu.

The inn was heavily guarded.

Wei Songlin relied on his superior martial arts skills to rush into the defense.

Upon hearing the news, Shen Jing wanted to take this opportunity to kill Wei Songlin. He held a bloody sword in his hand and stared at Wei Songlin with bloodthirsty eyes.

"The rebels are resisting stubbornly, kill them all!"

When Wei Songlin heard Shen Jing's voice, he was so angry that he slashed the necks of the four secret guards with his knife.

This guy Shen Jing actually wanted to label him a traitor. If the emperor holds him accountable in the future, the worst that can happen is that he can tell the emperor that he killed the wrong person.

Wei Songlin's attacks became more and more ruthless. Either he or Shen Jing would die today!

He rushed into Ji Anyu's room, but did not see Ji Anyu, "Damn Shen Jing for plotting against me!"

Shen Jing followed closely behind, and seeing Wei Songlin's sinister face crack, he laughed wildly.

"Wei Songlin, you will never be able to defeat me."

"Really? It's not certain who will win until the last moment."

The two men fought fiercely, and Shen Jing led Wei Songlin out.

Ji Anyu stayed in the woodshed, with several secret guards beside him.

Tang Mian carried a basket of vegetables and followed the old woman who was buying vegetables into the inn. She knocked out Han Yan, who was delivering the food, and put on Han Yan's clothes to deliver the food to Ji Anyu.

The guard at the door saw that Tang Mian was unfamiliar and asked cautiously, "Why have I never seen you before?"

"This servant is new here."

"New here? We haven't recruited servants in Prince Zhong's Mansion recently." As he said that, the secret guard quickly subdued Tang Mian and brought him in front of Ji Anyu.

"Princess, the clothes she's wearing belong to Han Yan!" Qiao Xin glared at Tang Mian angrily, "Where's Han Yan? What did you do to her?"

Qing Wu has been with Ji Anyu for a long time and has developed feelings for Han Yan. She pulls Tang Mian's hair in anger.

"I'm asking you, speak up." He was surprised to see Tang Mian's face.

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the capital?"

Ji Anyu was also surprised. She thought for a moment and said, "Did Wei Songlin bring you here? Did he want you to arrest me?"

"My father's life is in Wei Songlin's hands. I have no choice but to do this. If you just come with me, my father will survive. Once my father is safely out, I will protect you and bring you back."

Qing Wu looked at Tang Mian with disdain.

"Humph! You make it sound easy, but what can you guarantee? If you were capable, how could your father fall into Wei Songlin's hands? Wei Songlin is a sinister and cunning old fox!"
