I insist

Chapter 220: I am a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard

"Don't quite understand?" The Crown Prince looked at Zhang Jiesheng in surprise. In his eyes, although Zhang Jiesheng was not as good as Yu Huailin in some aspects, he was still a strategist he had once selected.

Even Jason Zhang doesn't understand this folded document, so its meaning must be quite obscure.

He asked Zhang Jiesheng to hand over the folded document he didn't understand, and after taking a look at it himself, he found that the meaning was indeed obscure and difficult to understand, so he discussed it with the other party in detail.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door, disrupting the Crown Prince's train of thought. He looked impatiently towards the door and saw Yu Huailin standing at the entrance of the study.

At the same time, the eunuch stood panting behind Yu Huailin, his hand on the doorframe, and said intermittently, "Don't come in..."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince frowned, his gaze fixed on Huai Lin. He coldly reprimanded and questioned, "Jia Zhen! What are you doing?! I seem to recall that I have already ordered that no one may enter except by my summons!"

He was originally very satisfied with Huailin, but now that this matter has occurred, the Crown Prince has begun to feel a little dissatisfied with Huailin.

Watching Yu Huailin bow his head and accept the Crown Prince's reprimand, Zhang Jiesheng secretly curled a mocking smile. He put down the memorial in his hand and said softly, "Your Highness, Jia Zhen is used to doing whatever he wants every day. In addition, he may have been very indulgent towards you. Now that you have given the order, he will naturally think that you will not punish him no matter what."

Upon hearing this, Yu Huailin glanced coldly in Zhang Jiesheng's direction, expressing utter contempt for his words.

He knew that if Zhang Jiesheng were present, he would not let this opportunity pass if he had barged in so arbitrarily, but for now, he could only seek help from the Crown Prince!

Thinking of this, Yu Huailin looked up at the Crown Prince, bowed to him, and said, "I had no choice but to disturb Your Highness's peace and quiet."

"Oh?" The prince thought for a moment and realized that the other party had also helped him with many things, and each thing had been done perfectly.

Thinking of this, the anger on his face subsided for a moment, and he asked, "Jia Zhen, what happened to you?"

"Your Highness, I would like to ask you to save someone. She is currently imprisoned and I am unable to rescue her."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince frowned. As far as he knew, almost everyone who had been imprisoned recently had offended the Emperor and Empress. If he were to help Jia Zhen rescue them at this critical juncture, the Emperor and Empress Dowager would definitely target him.

If he were to do something, the two of them would surely discover it.

After a moment of contemplation, the Crown Prince said in a deep voice, "Jia Zhen, although you gave me very useful information before, it does not mean that I am obligated to get the person you want to rescue out of prison."

"Do you know how restricted my actions will be if the Emperor and Empress Dowager's attention is all focused on me, the Crown Prince?"

Yu Huailin understood the Crown Prince's thoughts, but still wanted to try to get the other party to rescue Song Miqiu. "Your Highness, this matter may not be as bad as you think. You need to issue an order, and I will naturally go to the prison to bring the person out."

Upon hearing Yu Huailin's words, the Crown Prince's brows furrowed unconsciously.

Zhang Jiesheng stood to the side and naturally noticed the prince's expression. After thinking for a moment, he felt it was appropriate for him to speak.

He smiled faintly at Yu Huailin, then lowered his voice and said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, don't listen to Jia Zhen's one-sided story. If you agree to Jia Zhen's request, the Emperor will blame you, not Jia Zhen."

"Think about it, if the Emperor were to blame you, he wouldn't say anything about Jia Zhen, but he would definitely come to you first and say that you failed to discipline him properly. Although you are now the Crown Prince, you are still in some danger. We must act carefully, lest the benefits fall into the hands of other princes."

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince nodded in agreement and looked at Yu Huailin reproachfully.

One person kept asking for his help, regardless of the risks involved, while the other was always thinking about his own safety. The Crown Prince immediately compared the two.

He glanced coldly in Yu Huailin's direction and said in a cold voice, "This matter is beyond my ability to resolve. You should find someone else."

"But..." Yu Huailin still wanted to try.

"Jia Zhen!" the Crown Prince called out in great displeasure.

At this moment, the Imperial Guard arrived at the Crown Prince's place. He bowed to the Crown Prince and asked, "Your Highness, do you have something to discuss with us?"

"When did I come to see you?" The Crown Prince frowned subconsciously. The eunuch beside him immediately said, "It was this servant who sent someone over. Your Highness, you still have so many memorials to write. It's really not good that Jia Zhen has been delaying your work."

The two men's words brought the Crown Prince's dissatisfaction with Yu Huailin to its peak. He gave the Imperial Guards a look, and they nodded, standing beside Yu Huailin, and said in a deep voice, "Please leave!"

Yu Huailin stood motionless, his gaze fixed on the Crown Prince, perhaps trying to find a way to continue his efforts.

Seeing this, the eunuch immediately said, "Jia Zhen, the Crown Prince is already being lenient by not punishing you for your rashness. Don't be ungrateful!"

He smiled and glanced at Zhang Jiesheng. Their eyes met briefly in the air, and the eunuch immediately said, "Jia Zhen, if only you were as straightforward as Zhang Jiesheng. He's still trying to help the Crown Prince, but you're always looking for trouble for him!"

Yu Huailin did not respond to the eunuch's words, but stared straight at the direction of the crown prince. Seeing that the other's eyes were turned to the side, he guessed that his meaning was no different from what the eunuch had said.

He didn't even bother to look at Zhang Jiesheng, but Yu Huailin knew without looking that Zhang Jiesheng was looking at him with great smugness.

Seeing that the Crown Prince's approach was not working, Yu Huailin turned and left without saying a word.

He walked out of his bedroom, out of the East Palace, and looked up at the blinding sky. Yu Huailin felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Song Miqiu was suffering in prison, but Yu Huailin couldn't find anyone to get him out. This made Yu Huailin hate himself for not having the power to protect Song Miqiu.

Just as Yu Huailin was about to leave, someone suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way: "Wait a moment!"

Upon hearing the voice, Yu Huailin gave the other person a cold look, clearly puzzled as to why the other person wanted to see him. "Who are you?"

"I am a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
