Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 202 Check, you check!

Hearing such a commotion, Song Yuan's face changed and he was about to ask.

Wang Chao came galloping over, "Your Highness, the guards at the door wanted to inspect our supplies and even open the coffin. General Huo and his men didn't allow it, so we had some conflicts with the guards!"

Checking supplies?

Even the coffin is not spared?

After hearing this report, Song Yuan didn't say anything more, but Situ Jing beside him had already frowned.

She knew very well that those coffins contained large sums of gold and silver.

If such wealth were to be exposed, it would surely attract countless attention.

If this matter were to reach Song Youji's ears, it would definitely arouse suspicion.

We can't let this happen no matter what!

"General Wei, I'm right here. Can you please give me some favor?" Song Yuan looked at Wei Wushuang calmly and said softly with a smile on his face.

But Wei Wushuang's face was stern, and he looked businesslike: "Your Highness, please forgive me. This first place of investigation was not my idea, but the rule of His Majesty the Emperor!"

"You also know that war is about to break out between the two countries. His Majesty has issued an imperial decree that all travel must be checked to prevent the barbarians from spies!"

"General Wei, from what you said, do you suspect that there is a spy in my team?" Song Yuan found the loophole and fought back immediately.

Wei Wushuang, however, was exceptionally calm: "Your Highness, I dare not think so, but military orders are as firm as a mountain, and I am also following the rules. I hope Your Highness will understand!"

In Wei Wushuang's view, he was just doing his job.

With His Majesty as my backer, what is there to be afraid of even if this matter gets out?

The imperial court is supreme, and even the prince must abide by the rules.

Even if the eldest prince in front of him made a fuss over this, he would dare to confront him in court.

Situ Jing, who was standing by, noticed this attitude and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly realized that as a princess, she might have to do something.

Without waiting for Song Yuan's instructions, Situ Jing suddenly took a step forward.

"General Wei, according to His Majesty's instructions, strict inspections of pedestrians on the road should be to prevent people from secretly possessing weapons, right? What if someone is carrying this weapon?"

"Since you said you want to search, then you should investigate thoroughly. I think you should send someone to search me thoroughly to prevent me from hiding weapons and causing any more chaos!"

"Princess, you are joking!"

Wei Wushuang's brows furrowed immediately and he bowed quickly.

Things like body searches also depend on the person being searched.

Even if you search the princess' body, he wouldn't dare to do this even if he had ten heads!

"All right!"

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Song Yuan waved his hand, took a step forward, and winked at Situ Jing beside him.

"Didn't you hear what General Wei said? All of this is His Majesty's order! They are just doing their duty, so let's not make things difficult for General Wei!"

When Situ Jing heard this, he was immediately filled with endless doubts.

However, Situ Jing keenly noticed something strange in Song Yuan's eyes, so she simply kept silent and watched Song Yuan's performance quietly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your righteous words!"

Wei Wushuang finally got out of trouble and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.

Song Yuan did not respond at all, but directly jumped on the horse and then gave Situ Jing some instructions.

"Let's go, it's time for us to get on the road!"

As he spoke, Situ Jing had already climbed onto the horse and moved closer to Song Yuan. Their eyes met, and Situ Jing's was full of worry.

Song Yuan nodded calmly. Seeing this, Situ Jing finally felt relieved.

Since this guy is so confident, he must have made arrangements, so I don’t have to worry about it!

Before they spoke, the two had already arrived at the checkpoint.

At this moment, Huo Jianchuan stepped forward and led his men into a stalemate with the other guards.

Song Yuan first waved his hand and ordered his men to retreat.

Then he turned around with a sneer on his face and looked at Wei Wushuang: "General Wei, you must hurry up and arrange more manpower. If you delay my trip, I'm afraid it will not be good for me!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry!"

Seeing Song Yuan being so polite, Wei Wushuang nodded without saying a word, then waved his hand and all the guards came forward immediately.

At the same time as everyone was moving, Song Yuan had already calmly jumped off his horse and quietly approached Ma Han.

After whispering in the other person's ear, Song Yuan finally felt relieved when he saw the other person nodded, and watched the performance of the soldiers in front of him quietly.

Because of Prince Song Yuan's identity, these guys still had some bottom line when they interrogated him.

There were several boxes in the team, which contained everyone's clothes.

The soldiers just took a quick glance and then retreated far away, not daring to offend at all!

However, even so, after a brief inspection, everyone still gathered in front of the coffin.

Looking at the coffin pulled on the carriage, his eyes were clearly filled with eagerness to try.

It was obvious that they wanted to open the coffin for inspection.

Upon noticing such details, many people around Song Yuan frowned slightly. As people who knew the truth, they were nervous at the moment.

Afraid that the gold and silver will be exposed!

"What are you going to do?"

A roar suddenly came from the crowd, and Wang Chao suddenly shouted and scolded.

"What do you guys mean? You're standing around the coffin. Do you want to open it?"

"Do you know what this action means? Are you eager to put the prince in the coffin?"

"General, I am only following the rules. After all, His Majesty has issued an imperial decree, and even I dare not disobey!"

Seeing that his men remained silent, Wei Wushuang stepped forward without saying a word and brought up the word "imperial court" again in his words.

It’s a pity that Wang Chao didn’t buy it at all.

"Stop pretending to be so arrogant. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are the emperor?"

"Then I will tell you today, when the prince left the imperial city with the coffins, not even His Majesty dared to open them!"

"Even your majesty understands the significance of this. Once this coffin is opened, everyone will know it represents bad luck. Even with the lessons learned from the past, do you still insist on going your own way?"

As Wang Chao spoke, his cold eyes swept across the entire audience. Hearing him describe the matter as so serious, the soldiers surrounding the coffin all showed hesitant expressions.

After all, even His Majesty has set an example. If I insist on doing it myself, what will happen if this matter gets out of hand?

What if, by then, this prince really gets into trouble on the border, and someone brings up old matters again, blaming everything on today? Wouldn't that make things even worse?

All the men's eyes fell on Wei Wushuang at once, but it was a pity that General Wei relied on his confidence and refused to give in!

"I repeat, this is an order from the imperial court. This is the imperial decree issued personally by the emperor!"

"If you want to make an exception, it's easy. Just show me His Majesty's written order, and I promise to forgive you for what happened!"

"Of course, if you can't produce something like this, I advise you to just accept your fate and be questioned!"

"You..." Seeing Wei Wushuang being so aggressive, Wang Chao wanted to say something.

But this time Song Yuan couldn't sit still. He walked forward with a gloomy face, interrupted Wang Chao's words with a wave of his hand, and then looked at Wei Wushuang opposite him with a cold gaze.

"Okay, stop talking and let him check!"

After Song Yuan stopped Wang Chao's behavior, his tone became more stern.

"Let them investigate. I want to see what they can find out today!"

"Come, open the coffin, and let us do it ourselves. Don't bother doing it for the master!"

"Your Highness, this is truly inappropriate. Opening the coffin right after entering the border is not a good sign!"

"You went just because I told you to. Didn't you hear me?" Song Yuan's face darkened and he roared.

Seeing that there seemed to be a ball of anger between Song Yuan's brows, which might explode at any time, Wang Chao finally accepted his fate.

With his head bowed, he walked up to the coffin himself.

boom……

He slapped the coffin lid with anger, and then turned around and roared in the direction of Wei Wushuang.

"Come on, come on, don't you want to see it? Come here, open your eyes wide and take a good look at what's in here!"

Such momentum shocked everyone on the spot. Wei Wushuang did not say anything, and for a moment the soldiers under his command could only stand where they were, not daring to move at all.

Finally, Wei Wushuang coughed lightly and gave a look to his men.

A group of soldiers finally came forward.

This time they saw it clearly, the coffin was empty, there was nothing in it.

"General, the coffin is empty!"

A soldier immediately stepped forward to report.

"Hasn't this just one search? Jumping to conclusions now, isn't that a bit irresponsible of you?"

But no one expected that Song Yuan would suddenly get angry when he heard this, roared, and then looked at Wang Chao and waved.

"Open all the coffins and make them serve me properly. If you don't plug all the coffins for me today, I will teach you a lesson!"

Seeing Song Yuan furious, Wei Wushuang frowned slightly.

He sensed a hint of anger in the other person's tone.

I thought that if this matter really got out of hand, I might not be able to get any advantage.

Rather than letting things develop, it is better to stop while you are ahead.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"What I did just now was really helpless. I was just following the rules!"

"You are doing nothing wrong by following the rules, and I am not stopping you, am I?"

Song Yuan's face darkened and he interrupted Wei Wushuang directly.

"Don't you want to investigate? Fine, I'll let you investigate right now!"

"Come, come, I'll open the coffins for you personally. Watch carefully, and don't say anything when you don't see clearly!"

Song Yuan glared at him as he spoke. Being stared at by such eyes, even Wei Wushuang felt frightened in his heart and quickly smiled.

"That's enough, Your Majesty. I've already checked one, so there's no need to check the rest!"

"you sure?"

Hearing this response, Song Yuan's face darkened even more. "You've only checked one coffin, and there are still five coffins to check. Think about it, what if one of them contains evidence of my rebellion in the border areas? If you miss it now, wouldn't that be a waste of a great opportunity?"

"Don't be polite. Keep checking. Not only the coffin, but also our bodies. If you're going to check, you have to check thoroughly!"

"Your Majesty, that's enough. It's really enough!"

This time, Wei Wushuang lowered his head, walked forward and closed the coffin that had been opened before.

"Your Highness, please calm down. I didn't mean to offend you. Please forgive my previous behavior!"

"Humph!"

Song Yuan snorted coldly, waved his hand, and without even looking at Wei Wushuang, led the way out of the pass with a frosty face.

Only after the group crossed the city gate did Situ Jing, who had been worried, finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"I have to say, you're quite courageous. Weren't you afraid that he would actually investigate?"

"Even if he had answered just now, I have a way to stop him from investigating!"

Song Yuan said coldly, "Didn't I just say that this contains evidence of my treason? If he dares to answer, it would be equivalent to admitting this!"

"Don't forget, back in the court, my father said that no matter who it is, if they dare to accuse me of treason, I have the right to slap them twice!"

"It's such a pity, this guy was quite smart and was lucky to avoid two slaps!"

At the end of his words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Song Yuan's eyes.

When Situ Jing heard this, he also came to his senses.

Looking at Song Yuan again, there was clearly a hint of gloating in his eyes.

This guy is as dangerous as ever.

This is such a shady thing to do!
