Shi Guodong also saw Wu Yuan. Unlike Xiao Chenyu, Shi Guodong was full of hatred for Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan concealed his identity and approached him at first, but in the end he tricked him and made him embarrassed in public, and even arrested him and paraded him through the streets.
After returning, Shi Guodong's status in Baihe Academy also plummeted.
On the contrary, Shi Xiangtong, who has the token given by Wu Yuan, has seen his status rise.
This made Shi Guodong resentful for a long time, but what made him overjoyed was that Xiao Chenyu actually came to rebel and proposed marriage with a betrothal gift.
In fact, Xiao Chenyu had been in love with Shi Xiangtong for a long time.
But at that time, Xiao Chenyu's official position was average, and Baihe Academy really looked down on him.
But things are different now. As an imperial envoy, Xiao Chenyu went to Jiangnan to investigate the matter of selling and buying officials. Now he has returned in triumph.
Rumor has it that Xiao Chenyu is highly valued by Emperor Wu, and there will definitely be a reward at court today.
In this way, with Shi Guodong's push, the dean, their father, finally agreed to the marriage.
Shi Guodong no longer has to worry about Shi Xiangtong competing with him for the identity of the heir.
But he never expected that Shi Xiangtong would hear the news and run away.
As it happened now, they were chasing Shi Xiangtong all the way.
I just didn't expect that Shi Xiangtong had a goal and actually came for Wu Yuan.
After Shi Guodong saw Wu Yuan, he was filled with hatred and fear.
But no matter what, although Wu Yuan no longer has the status of the new emperor, he is still the prince.
After Shi Guodong and Xiao Chenyu looked at each other, they came over and bowed to Wu Yuan honestly.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Wu Yuan saw the expressions of these two people, especially Xiao Chenyu, whose disdain Wu Yuan could clearly see.
I also sneered in my heart, thinking that he was no longer the emperor, so why did I dare to sneer in front of him?
"What are you doing?" Wu Yuan asked calmly.
Just as Shi Guodong was about to speak, Xiao Chenyu jumped in and replied: "Your Highness, it's actually nothing. I'm just chasing the wife I'm about to marry."
Xin Ruyan frowned slightly. She didn't recognize Xiao Chenyu, but she saw that Xiao Chenyu actually put on official airs in front of Wu Yuan. This made Xin Ruyan a little unhappy, but because she didn't understand the situation, she didn't
Say more.
Wu Yuanze looked at Shi Xiangtong in surprise after hearing Xiao Chenyu's words.
Obviously, the lady Xiao Chenyu was talking about was Shi Xiangtong.
At this moment, Shi Xiangtong finally relaxed a lot and said quickly: "I have nothing to do with him. Your Highness, please don't listen to his nonsense."
At this time, Shi Guodong stood up at the right time.
"Shut up, your father has already agreed to your marriage, and the betrothal gift has been accepted. With Brother Xiao's identity and status, I will not humiliate you. Come back with me quickly, don't embarrass yourself here."
Shi Guodong still cares about face, and Baihe Academy cannot lose face.
Shi Xiangtong's face turned pale and he looked very angry.
Ouyang Shishi hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, the prince is here, just speak clearly."
But at this time, Xiao Chenyu said: "Prince, this is my family matter and has nothing to do with the prince. I won't delay the prince's journey. I will send you off here."
Seeing Xiao Chenyu's face, Mo Qiaoer immediately stepped forward.
"Who allowed you to talk to the prince like this?"
Facing Mo Qiaoer's scolding, Xiao Chenyu chuckled and said, "Girl, don't you know there is something wrong with what I said? Isn't it that the prince is leaving the capital?"
"You..." Mo Qiaoer was so angry that she wanted to take action.
Xiao Chenyu said directly, "If you beat a court official, you will go to jail."
Mo Qiaoer sneered, "I'm afraid of you!"
But at this moment, Wu Yuan pulled Mo Qiaoer and immediately came to Xiao Chenyu.
Xiao Chenyu was happy and not afraid, "Your Highness, I still have to take care of the housework, so I won't disturb the prince."
Then he said to Shi Guodong: "Brother Shi, take your sister away and we can go back and discuss the marriage."
"Did I let you go?" Wu Yuan said coldly.
Xiao Chenyu's expression changed, but he still said with a smile: "I wonder if the prince has any other instructions?"
"Kneel down!" Wu Yuan ordered directly.
Xiao Chenyu frowned immediately, and then said: "I am an official of the imperial court, and I only kneel to the emperor. Could it be that the prince still thinks he is the emperor?"
Hearing this, Wu Yuan just laughed.
"Do you know that based on what you just said, if I kill you, no one will dare to stand up and say a word for you, not even my father will say anything, do you believe it?"
Xiao Chenyu's heart tightened. He didn't dare to believe Wu Yuan's words.
A person who dared to challenge Emperor Wu, or even assassinated Emperor Wu, could still leave unharmed, which shows Wu Yuan's ability.
But such humiliation was unbearable for Xiao Chenyu.
Immediately, a flattering smile appeared on his face, "Your Highness, I was a little angry just now because of my wife's affairs. If I have offended you, I will forgive you. By the way, this time I went to Jiangnan under the order of the prince, and I successfully completed it."
Those who fulfill their mission will live up to the prince’s trust.”
When Wu Yuan heard this, he sneered and said, "It's done well, but the credit is yours alone. It's a good plan."
Xiao Chenyu subconsciously looked at Tian Wenxing behind Wu Yuan, and suddenly had an idea.
"Speaking of this, the prince doesn't know. If it weren't for Tian Wenxing, I could have done better during this trip to the south of the Yangtze River. Now that I have made it clear to your majesty, this Tian Wenxing is a sinner. Please allow me to do it."
The criminal will be taken back to His Majesty for judgment."
Xiao Chenyu's wishful thinking was that if Wu Yuan wanted to protect Tian Wenxing, he would have to leave immediately.
Otherwise, he will make things worse and Tian Wenxing will be taken back.
Unexpectedly, Wu Yuan didn't care at all, but instead gave another order, "I asked you to kneel down now, didn't you hear it?"
Xiao Chenyu suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Prince, don't bully others too much, otherwise, I will take them."
"Come on, come on, I'll let you take someone, as long as you are brave enough." Wu Yuan stepped aside with a look of disdain, and even took the initiative to push Tian Wenxing in front of Xiao Chenyu.
Tian Wenxing had no intention of resisting, and just stood in front of Xiao Chenyu and stared at him.
Xiao Chenyu frowned, he was a little unsure of Wu Yuan's attitude now.
But when he thought that he was a meritorious minister, Wu Yuan would not dare to touch him no matter what.
He immediately issued an order, "Take the criminal Tian Wenxing back and wait for His Majesty's punishment."
Two men came forward immediately, but as soon as they caught Tian Wenxing, Wu Yuan gave the order, "Cut off their hands."
