For the Great Jin Dynasty, this was a humiliating history!

But what if there was an unknown secret behind this public case?

Chu Yi continued, “Last year, on the way back to the capital from the State of Yue, I went to Tailing City personally and found a burning battlefield 15 miles away from Tailing City. However, according to the dossier left by the Ministry of War, there was no war there back then, nor did any soldiers or commoners die there.”

All the students’ expressions became even more solemn.

It turned out that the Eldest Prince had personally gone to Tailing City to investigate last year. It was obvious that he had been preparing for Gu Ce’s case for a long time, and it wasn’t a whim.

According to the Eldest Prince’s suspicious points, they couldn’t help but wonder if the 10,000 people who had disappeared from the State of Yue army had died in the upper mountains.

If that was the case, even if it wasn’t a huge victory, it would at least be a bloody battle between two armies.

Since Gu Ce had the determination to fight the army to the death, why would he surrender? After all, he had killed so many people in the army. It could be imagined that even if he surrendered, he wouldn’t have a good ending.

Among the group of students, a young gray-clothed scholar muttered, “Could it be that back then, in order to disturb the morale of our army and the hearts of the people, the Sage of the State of Yue falsely accused Gu Ce of subduing the enemy?”

Gu Ce’s case was full of doubts. If Gu Ce really didn’t surrender to the enemy, then he would die for the country and be despised by the world for his injustice. His descendants would also be pointed at by the world. Where was the justice?!

The other students didn’t speak, and their faces were dyed with a hint of oppression.

“It’s been nine years,” Chu Yi said faintly. “The imperial court should still care about fairness and truth.”

The air around him was filled with sadness and desolation.

Gu Yunrong, who was behind the counter, also heard this conversation. Her fingers subconsciously fiddled with the beads on the abacus on the counter, and her eyes flickered.

She didn’t expect that, in order to marry Gu Yanfei, the Eldest Prince actually planned to stand up for Gu Ce and even told these students so openly.

Gu Yunrong bit her lower lip slightly and looked at Chu Yi in a daze. Her mind was uncontrollably thinking about Yangzhou and Gu Ce.

Back then, she was also in Yangzhou.

She was only six years old when she met Kang Wang there. At that time, Kang Wang was 14 years old and was already an extraordinary young man with youthful spirit…

Gu Yunrong retracted her fingers from the abacus and walked absent-mindedly towards the back hall. With every step she took, her heart would twitch. Her mind was in a mess. She only felt that the sound of the night breeze, the thumping of her heart, the sound of her feet stepping on fallen leaves… all became exceptionally clear.

The commotion and excitement in the front hall were forgotten by her. She didn’t even notice that the handkerchief in her hand had fallen.

Gu Yunrong got into her carriage from the back door of the Herbal Hall. Other than the staff at the medical center, no one else noticed her departure.

The sky was dark, and the pedestrians on the streets were sparse. The carriage carried Gu Yunrong all the way to Kang Wang’s Mansion.

The entire mansion was shocked by the arrival of the future princess consort.

“Rong’er!” Chu You was overjoyed by Gu Yunrong’s arrival and personally came to welcome her.

Ever since Gu Yunrong entered the palace to see Empress Dowager Yuan, she had said that she wanted to break off the engagement. She insisted that the two of them had nothing to do with each other from then on. After that, Chu You went to the Gu residence to beg a few times, but Gu Yunrong was unwilling to see him.

Now that Gu Yunrong had taken the initiative to come to the Prince’s Mansion, did that mean that she was no longer angry?

He looked at Gu Yunrong tenderly and personally helped her out of the carriage. A happy smile bloomed in his long and narrow eagle eyes, and even his usually wild face softened a lot.

Gu Yunrong saw his pure joy and sighed slightly.

She had always known that Kang Wang was sincere toward her, but he was Kang Wang. There were still obvious and hidden conflicts between them…

After Gu Yunrong stabilized herself, Chu You eagerly held her slender hand and placed their palms against each other.

“Rong’er, it’s my fault. 1 really didn’t expect Mother to be like this…” Chu You apologized to Gu Yunrong again. He lowered his posture and looked at her beautiful face greedily.

She had lost weight!

Chu You’s heart ached, and he tentatively put his arm around her slender and graceful waist.

Gu Yunrong’s body stiffened. She wanted to break free, but Chu You said sincerely, “Rong’er, if the empress dowager continues to say such inexplicable things, don’t enter the palace unless it’s a festival in the future..”
