After being transformed into cannon fodder, she relied on reading minds to save her life.

16 Go to court
Hearing this, Shen Kun dodged with the snow rabbit in his arms and hid behind a thick pillar, and saw Xu Jishu walking out to the front yard with proud steps.

The laughter in the study continued. After hearing this, Shen Kun couldn't help it any longer. He raised his legs and kicked open the study door with a "crash".

"Is the prince busy? I have been waiting in the flower hall for a long time. It is really important that I have to come in and disturb the prince."

Shang Zong stood up, straightened his gown, suppressed his anger, and smiled, his eyes a little flustered.

"A'kun? You didn't ask your servants to inform you when you came in?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm so impatient. I can't wait to come over right away!" Shen Kun pretended to have just arrived, breathing heavily.

"Quick, quick, come in and sit down." Shang Zong just turned around and suddenly saw the huge snow rabbit in Shen Kun's arms, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

"Hehe, this is..."

Shen Kun paused, took the snow rabbit out of his cloak, and held it up with both hands.

"Your Majesty, this is my birthday gift to you. I wish you good health and good health every year."

Ye Xiaobai also pretended to be well-behaved and docile, half-squinting his eyes, and allowed Shen Kun to hand his own hand into the hands of King Fu Shang Zong.

"Okay, okay, with this treasure, I can hope to live a few more years, cough, cough, cough. Ah Kun, come here," Shang Zong put the snow rabbit on the soft couch aside, then turned around and took Shen Kun's hands.
"So how was Gu Zhizhou's interrogation? Did he reveal any important information?"

[Shen Kun, don’t say anything. Just say that he won’t even say anything until he kills you. He is trying to trick you. He has a guilty conscience! 】

Ye Xiaobai's words stirred in Shen Kun's heart, and Shen Kun cleared his throat.

"That guy is very tough-talking. He has been tortured and still refuses to say anything! He just said that he was sent by the prince!"

"Haha... That's good, please give me the evidence, and I will tell you all your confession when I go to court tomorrow morning." Shang Zong smiled and nodded.

This matter did develop according to my plan and went very smoothly.

"It's the prince! I'll have someone send it over later." Shen Kun had already thought about it. He and Counselor Liang in the mansion had already made a false confession.

"Then Prince, I'm leaving first..." After talking about the matter, Shen Kun had no reason to sit down anymore. He just looked at the snow rabbit on the soft couch and felt a little unbearable. What if the snow rabbit was really beaten by him? If there is blood, how should I deal with it?
"Okay! Ah Kun, thank you for your hard work!" Shang Zong chased him out and patted him hard on the shoulder.

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? We grew up together, not as brothers but as real brothers!" Shen Kun pursed his lips and left the palace with three turns.

Looking at Shen Kun's leaving figure, Shang Zong waved to his confidants beside him.
"Go to Yuanbao! Find out where you got this snow rabbit. Is it reliable?"

Yuanbao was raised by Shang Zong in the palace since he was a child. Shang Zong's personal servant, after hearing what Shang Zong said, he agreed, then turned back and glared not far away,

"It's the prince! That General Shen is too ignorant. He actually dares to call our prince a brother!"

Shang Zong turned around and entered the house.

"Let him go, it doesn't matter, anyway, with the city defense map, this Dayu Dynasty will be mine from now on... Hahahaha..."

[Fortunately, he wants to check me again. It seems that I am not in danger for the time being. This prince is full of evil!Wait until I hear what he is going to do, then go back and tell that idiot general! 】

Ye Xiaobai was lying on the couch, and just as he was thinking about it, he saw King Fu walking straight towards him. Shang Zong came to Ye Xiaobai, lowered his head to think carefully, and murmured to himself,
"This rabbit is just bigger and has red dots on its ears. The rest of it is just like an ordinary rabbit, isn't it?!"

Yuan Bao also came over, "But looking at the smooth fur and clear eyes, it seems that he is really spiritual!"

When Ye Xiaobai heard what the two said, he deliberately opened his big clear eyes and rolled them back and forth.

"Hey, it seems to understand what we are saying, Your Majesty." Yuan Bao walked around it.

"Well, find someone to take good care of it. After I'm done with my work, I can go back to work on it." Shang Zong explained, turned around and walked out the door.That night, Shang Zong lay in bed unable to fall asleep for a long time while looking at the "Drawing on the Defense of the City of Dayu Dynasty" in his hand and the evidence that Shen Kun had sent in the evening that Gu Zhizhou had embezzled disaster relief funds.

As long as Shang Zong thinks about it,

My father has been diligent and honest for many years and loves the people. If he knew that his unlearned prince was embezzling public funds, he would be killed on the spot. Most of the ministers in the court would also be bribed by him, and the Dayu Dynasty would soon be destroyed. How happy it would be to have it in your own hands...

After thinking about it, the second day soon arrived.

Before the fourth watch, Shang Zong got up and was in a good mood.

"Li Dongdong, send me my newly made court uniform. I have something important to do today."

"Yes, your lord." Li Dongdong is the old prince in the mansion. She used to follow the old prince. Later, after the old prince disappeared, she came to serve Shang Zong again, so she got closer to him. She arranged Shang Zong's clothes and said with a smile,
"Your Majesty is so happy today. It seems like something good is about to happen."

"Yes, yes, wait for my good news! Our house is going to be prosperous!"

"Your Majesty is really joking. We are already a royal palace with one person under one person and more than ten thousand people. How can we get more prosperous!" Li Dong only thought he was joking.

"Just wait!"

Shang Zong put on his clothes and walked into the night under the starlight.

……

The ministers in the court were "chirping" in the meeting hall. When they saw Shang Zong coming in, they gathered around one after another, and the flattering sounds continued one after another.

"May the King of Blessings be safe!"

"Prince Fu looks a little haggard today..."

"Isn't that true? Look at how thin the prince's face is..."

"I heard that Prince Fu recently investigated the embezzlement case of Jiangnan disaster relief funds. He did his best and could not sleep well all night."

Shang Zong waved his hand, and was elated by the praise. His face turned rosy, and he nodded slightly and smiled at everyone.
"Everyone has given you many awards, all for the sake of His Majesty and the people of Liming. Why does one's own health matter?"

"Prince Fu worked diligently and loved the people, and he has made great contributions..."

A censor in the crowd suddenly said something, and the others followed suit.

"The King of Fortune loves you so much!"

“It’s a great blessing for our great dynasty to have a prince!!”

A bunch of people were making a noise, and Eunuch Guo's voice came from the door of the conference hall. He stroked the dust and shouted at the top of his voice,

"It's time to go to court..."

Everyone quickly fell silent, straightened their sleeves and trousers, and followed the chief eunuch Guo Jiubao into the hall.

In the center of the bright yellow hall, Prince Shang Chengduan sat on a dragon chair carved with dragons and phoenixes. On the steps below, the Crown Prince Qin Jin'an and the Minister of Military Aircraft Qin Shiting stood on the left and right.

"Dear dear sirs, Your Majesty is ill. I will temporarily act as your agent for the next few days. If you have something to say, please leave the court if you have nothing to do!"
