Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

The rebel leader suddenly roared and stretched out his arms from behind the fence to wrap around the prince's neck.

Believe it or not, this distance and angle actually allow him to succeed. When the time comes, the iron chains locked on his arms will surely lock the prince's throat.

The prince came to the prison without any attendants. Upon seeing this, the jailer standing by immediately stepped forward.

But Ying Yufu beat him to it and grabbed the rebel leader's arm.

The rebel leader's eyes widened suddenly.

He subtly struggled with his arm.

It didn't budge an inch.

He looked at the little eunuch in disbelief.

"Even a lowly eunuch in your Northern Xuan is quite strong, so why did you send a useless person when you were suppressing the rebellion?"

"If it weren't for that good-for-nothing's subordinate having a pretty boy who actually had some skill, I might have been the one to conquer your Yuezhou City this time."

Upon hearing this, Ying Yufu's eyes lit up, and she glanced at the Crown Prince.

"Your Highness, did you hear that? He's talking about my maternal uncle!"

The prince's lips curved slightly as he asked, "What about those underpants?"

"Hmm?" The rebel leader's face was full of anger. "What are you pretending for? Your father stole my... I will never forgive him for stealing my underwear."

"Falling into your hands is a defeat for me. Do with me as you please!"

The prince's eyes widened slightly.

Ying Yufu leaned closer to him and whispered, "Your Majesty once stole his underwear, and he still holds a grudge. As long as Your Majesty returns the underwear to him, everything will be fine."

The question is, would His Majesty be willing to compensate him with his underpants?

The crown prince also thought of this problem.

He blinked and gave Ying Yufu a meaningful look.

Then he said to the rebel leader, "Wu Xiaotian, if I were to have my father return your underpants to you, would you be willing to surrender to my Northern Xuan?"

The rebel leader was taken aback, then sneered, "That despicable fellow would agree?"

The Crown Prince didn't mind at all that Wu Xiaotian called his father a despicable person.

After all, his father was indeed dishonest in stealing someone's underwear.

"I'll go ask and then I'll get back to you."

Even the crown prince wasn't too sure.

Stealing someone's underwear is a shameful thing, and it doesn't sound good to talk about it.

He should go and ask first.

If his father doesn't mind returning the underwear, then there's still room for discussion.

If you don't want to pay it back...

The prince looked at the rebel leader with sympathy.

Upon leaving the imperial prison, Ying Yufu looked at the Crown Prince in surprise. "Your Highness, what did you say? I'm also going to the palace to see His Majesty?"

The Crown Prince nodded: "You started this, so of course you should go and explain it to Father."

Ying Yufu shook her head repeatedly: "But this is an unauthorized entry into the palace!"

"With me here, you are not considered to have entered the palace without being summoned."

Ying Yufu's eyes brightened slightly. "Then I will go to the palace with His Highness the Crown Prince to meet His Majesty."

The crown prince smiled slightly. "Let's go."

The Imperial Study.

Emperor Cangxuan was still sitting behind his desk reading memorials when his personal eunuch stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived."

"He's here, so be it." Emperor Cangxuan said without even looking up.

The head eunuch hesitated slightly, "His Highness the Crown Prince brought a young lady with him."

The emperor abruptly raised his head. "You brought a girl with you?"

Just then, the Crown Prince and Ying Yufu entered.

Ying Yufu had changed her clothes and was no longer dressed as a eunuch.

As soon as she entered, she felt an extremely authoritative gaze sweep over her from the head of the table.

In fact, Ying Yufu had been to the palace quite a few times since she was a child.

He was very familiar with the Cangxuan Emperor.

When she was a child, His Majesty the Emperor held her in his arms.

However, things are different now.

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was once very powerful, and everyone said that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion had overshadowed the emperor, and that His Majesty would settle accounts with it sooner or later.

Now that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has run into trouble, she is unsure of Emperor Cangxuan's intentions.

Or perhaps, she thought darkly, that the current state of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was the doing of the person above.

Ying Yufu's mind raced, when she heard the person above ask with great interest:

"It's Fu'er! Why are you with the Crown Prince?"

"Have you changed your mind and decided not to marry Mingze, but instead to marry the Crown Prince?"

Ying Yufu looked up in surprise.

Good news, His Majesty's tone of voice towards her seems unchanged.

Bad news. Why would His Majesty bring up marriage? Couldn't she have entered the palace for something else?

"Your Majesty, this humble woman..."

"I have heard about what happened between the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion and Ming Zeqian. Fu'er has indeed been wronged."

"Your Majesty, I thank you for your compassion!"

Ying Yufu bowed her head in gratitude.

Emperor Cangxuan sat behind his desk, staring at Ying Yufu's head, which was buried deep in her chest, and let out a snort of laughter.

"Why is Fu'er so distant from me?"

"Fur didn't!"

Ying Yufu suddenly raised her head and looked at the emperor at the head of the table.

The emperor's gaze was majestic and unfathomable as he looked at her.

"Fu'er has no estrangement from His Majesty. Fu'er just... just... when I think about how His Majesty stole someone's underwear and didn't return it, I... I feel very sad..."

What on earth is she saying?!

Ying Yufu closed her eyes fiercely. What on earth was she babbling about?

Emperor Cangxuan was stunned!

He jumped to his feet in surprise. "How did you know...?"

He abruptly sat down again halfway through his sentence. "What underwear? What are you talking about? I don't understand!"

Ying Yufu: …………

His Majesty, as expected, refused to admit it.

The crown prince glanced sideways and said, "Father, we just came back from the imperial prison."

I know everything I need to know.

"Oh, Fu'er went to visit your second uncle?" Emperor Cangxuan asked.

The crown prince was also surprised to find that his father was incredibly shameless, so he hinted, "Father, we just met with that rebel leader."

Emperor Cangxuan waved his hand, "So, has Wu Xiaotian agreed to surrender to my Northern Xuan?"

Crown Prince: ?

That doesn't seem right.

Ying Yufu cautiously reminded him, "When His Majesty was young, he followed the late Emperor south. Passing through a village, he casually..."

"You silly girl, what do you mean by 'just doing'? Who told you about my youth?"

"That's what the rebel leader said."

"Hmm?" Emperor Cangxuan narrowed his eyes. "That rebel leader is resentful after I captured him, so he's started spreading rumors about my reputation?"

"No, the rebel leader said you stole his underwear, and in a fit of anger, he became the rebel leader."

So, Your Majesty, why don't you consider giving him the underpants as compensation?

Perhaps if he lets go of his obsession, he will surrender to our Northern Xuan?

Ying Yufu looked serious.

Emperor Cangxuan remained silent.

After a long silence, he said, "The pair of underwear that I casually took back then was his, wasn't it?"

"No, just because I took one of his underwear, he rebelled?"

Emperor Cangxuan found it unbelievable.

Ying Yufu thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, that pair of underwear is very important to him..."

After all, it's really important that his butt gets sore when he poops, and he definitely needs a comfortable pair of underwear.

Emperor Cangxuan coughed lightly, "It's just a pair of underpants, isn't it? I'll give him ten pairs!"

Ying Yufu's eyes lit up.

She looked up with delight and said, "Your Majesty is magnanimous! Your Majesty is wise and mighty!"

"Oh ho!"

Emperor Cangxuan chuckled, "You little rascal, you're not being polite to me now."

"Speak, why did you go to the Heavenly Prison to see Wu Xiaotian?"

Ying Yufu said, "Your Majesty, I wish to have Wu Xiaotian personally identify that the credit for suppressing this rebellion belongs to the Flying Tiger Army, not Marquis Weiyuan."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Emperor Cangxuan with trepidation.

What will Emperor Cangxuan's attitude be towards the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and the Flying Tiger Army?
