With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

Chapter 181 Your Highness, I am wronged!

Seeing this, Beiji scolded him, "Who allowed you to look directly at the prince like that?"

Yang You was frightened by Bei Ji's momentum and trembled, and the fat on his belly shook three times.

He quickly apologized, "I have offended you, General Bei, please forgive me! Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Su Su said nothing, and now she bent even deeper.

"Beiji, don't scare the two adults."

A faint and light voice sounded, shocking both Su Su and Yang You.

"What a rare guest! I thought my small yard couldn't accommodate two big Buddhas."

The voice was filled with a hint of laughter, as if teasing, but only Su Suwen noticed something was wrong. He bent his knees and knelt down very neatly.

"Your Highness, please forgive me!" He knelt on the ground, his forehead resting on the backs of his hands, and said with a sense of grievance and self-blame: "In the past few days, Beisha City was attacked by the Northern Di people, and countless citizens were displaced. Therefore, I was busy resettling the victims in the city and did not come to pay a visit to Your Highness right away. I hope Your Highness will forgive me!"

This kneeling made Yang You, who was standing beside him, a little confused. A trace of confusion flashed across his face, wondering why Su Su suddenly became so cowardly?

Didn’t we agree before we came that the two of us would join hands and force Baili Moqing to hand over that woman?

Baili Moqing curled the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking, this Su Su is really a sly old fox.

"Really?" He put down the book and glanced over from behind the screen. "Then why did I hear that when Beisha City was under siege, Governor Su was far away in Yuan City?"

Su Su was shocked, sweat beads instantly broke out on his forehead, and he quickly denied it, "Your Highness, please understand, I would never do such a thing!"

"During those days, this humble official was seriously ill and was recuperating in the mansion. The servants in the mansion can testify that this humble official has never left Beisha City!"

Baili Moqing chuckled after hearing this, "So, it was my men who made a mistake?"

Su Su crouched low again, and said in a panic, "Your Highness is surrounded by talented people, and rarely makes mistakes. However, I don't know why Your Highness received such news. Please investigate and clear my name!"

There is rarely anything wrong, but there is a possibility of error.

This Su Su really won't cry until she sees the coffin!

Baili Moqing handed the book to Zhenli beside him and said softly, "Investigate, of course we must. After all, for a local official to leave his jurisdiction without permission is a capital offense! I certainly can't let Governor Su be accused of such a crime without any reason, right?"

"Your Majesty..."

Su Su's heart was pounding. The words "death penalty" were like two huge mountains hanging at his feet, dragging his heart into the endless abyss, falling continuously, falling continuously...

Seeing that the beating was almost over, Baili Moqing said, "Alright, get up."

"Thank you, thank you, Your Highness..."

The smile that Su Su always had on his face had long since disappeared. Now, his face was full of fear and anxiety, and beads of sweat kept dripping down his temples.

His departure from Beisha City was a top secret. How did the prince know about it? Could it be that the prince's people had been monitoring him the entire time?

At this time, the prince brought up the matter in front of him, which meant that he already had something on him.

He didn't pursue the matter, which was a warning to himself...

Could it be that the prince also knew about his allegiance to the eldest princess?

This, this is impossible, right?

Since the princess arrived in Beisha City, he had never met her privately except for the first time he went with Yang You to the city to welcome the emperor. This was something only he and the princess knew about...

Su Su thought a lot in this short period of time, and finally came to a conclusion.

King Dongli's power did not suffer any loss due to the reduction of his title. On the contrary, it is very likely that it has grown quietly during this period and has become a very terrifying existence.

Yang You stood aside, staring at Su Su with suspicion on his face.

Did he go out of town those few days?

He had always kept people outside Su Su's house, but why didn't he receive any news?

Or Yuancheng?

What is he doing in Yuancheng?

Yang You was lost in thought when suddenly, Baili Moqing's voice sounded again, questioning him.

"General Yang, what about you? Besides meeting the king, do you have anything else to do here today?"

Yang You put aside the doubts in his mind for the moment and remembered the purpose of his visit today.

He puffed out his chest and said bluntly, "Your Majesty, I came here to ask Your Majesty for someone."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Zhiyi mocking him, "General Yang, you are so arrogant! A mere general, you dare to ask the prince for someone. Is your Yang family 'ignorant of the heavens and the earth' inherited from their ancestors?"

Yang You frowned, his belly bulging as he held his head high and asked, "What do you mean, General Zhang?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Zhiyi placed his hands behind his back on the outer layer of the screen, a cold expression on his handsome face. "Didn't your nephew tell you what happened outside the military camp today?"

"Of course I did!" A questioning look appeared on Yang You's face. "I also want to ask General Zhang, you knew that the yamen runners went to the barracks to arrest the murderer, but you publicly protected him and refused to hand him over."

"General Zhang, what do you mean?"

Zhang Zhiyi snorted coldly, "So General Yang is here to question me. I thought you were here to fire me!"

"General Zhang, please be careful with your words!" Yang You's face changed drastically. He subconsciously looked at the man behind the screen in panic.

The appointment and dismissal of military generals were decided personally by the emperor.

Even for a young general of the sixth rank like Zhang Zhiyi, the Ministry of War had to report to the emperor. After the emperor reviewed it and issued an edict, he could be appointed.

Although Prince Dongli had been stripped of his title, he was still the emperor's biological son, a legitimate prince! Saying such things in front of a prince wouldn't make him look like someone who was plotting treason?

"What? Can Lieutenant Yang decide the appointment and dismissal of generals in the army?"

Baili Moqing's faint voice sounded, seemingly without any offensive power, but it frightened the guilty Yang You so much that his blood turned pale.

"This, this is a complete false accusation! Your Highness, please investigate!"

With a loud "thump", Yang You's nearly 300-pound body suddenly fell to the ground, almost breaking the bluestone slab.

Shu He stood outside and felt pain just listening to it.

She was holding a cup of tea in her hand and was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, she was watching a show with a smile on her lips.

"Your Highness, this is all Zhang Zhiyi's frame-up! I have never said such a thing, nor would I dare to even think such a thing!"

"Zhang Zhiyi, this is a grave crime punishable by extermination of the family and genocide! How wicked of you to slander me like this!"

Yang You pointed at Zhang Zhiyi, his face full of resentment and anger in his eyes, as if he was a starving beast who wanted to eat Zhang Zhiyi alive!

"False accusation?" Zhang Zhiyi sneered, "It seems that your little nephew didn't tell you the whole truth?"

Yang You's heart stopped, and the anger on his face turned into anxiety and fear.

Could it be that the boy was talking nonsense outside?

"Ma Yuan, is he your nephew?"

Zhang Zhiyi's words made Yang You's face turn even paler.

"Today, outside the defense camp, Ma Yuan publicly shouted, 'I'm just a mere sixth-rank officer, and you, Officer Yang, can stop me, Zhang Zhiyi, from becoming a general with just one word.'"

The smile on Zhang Zhiyi's face suddenly disappeared, leaving only a cold and stern look.

"He also said that in Beisha City, you, General Yang, are the sky of Beisha City. The people of Beisha City have to live their lives according to the wishes of you, General Yang, and that Ma Yuan. General Yang, you are really so powerful!"

Yang You felt as if he were struck by five thunderbolts, threatening to split him apart. He knelt on the ground, staring at Zhang Zhiyi, unable to utter a single word.

"General Yang, you have become the local emperor of Beisha City!"

The faint voice sounded again, without any emotion, no joy or anger, but it was this strange calmness that made people more frightened and panicked, and their hearts couldn't help but feel uneasy.

At this moment, the air was unusually quiet. Su Su stood silently beside him, with his hands hidden under his sleeves and clenched tightly, the fear in his heart extending infinitely.

Suddenly, a deafening cry rang out, "Your Highness! This humble official has been wronged!"
