C552 552 dead

Your highness should not want to be disturbed.

On the other side, because Liu Ruo Qing had exempted herself from the crime of deceiving the monarch, she felt the burden on her body lighten and she no longer had to worry about anything anymore.

Even when Yan Yuan said that he would send people to sweep the streets secretly, she stopped him.

It would be too unreasonable for her to have to "cheat" even if she had to sweep the streets. Moreover, if people found out, wouldn't Kaiser be troubled?

Therefore, it was rare for her to wake up early in the morning, and before Yan Yuan left the room, she took her broom and went out.

When they arrived on the street, they found out that the news of Crown Princess Jing being the fake Princess Tian Xin had already spread throughout the entire Jindu.

As Liu Tian Xin scanned through them, she quietly listened to their discussion and furrowed her brows in worry.

"I heard, ah, that today at court, the emperor was angered by those ministers to the point where he almost fainted."

"A minister can still go against the emperor."

"Although the Emperor is above tens of thousands of people, he still needs to listen to the advisories of the ministers. If the Kaiser always acts as he pleases, then this Jiang Shan …"

Naturally, he did not dare to say these words too clearly.

"The position of 'Censor' was originally meant to be used as a warning from the emperor. I'm afraid that some censors wouldn't dare to speak the truth and would only kiss ass to the emperor. So, there aren't many censors who would dare to go against the emperor."

Liu Ruo Qing quietly listened, and in her heart, she naturally understood this logic as well.

Back then, she had thought that if her identity was exposed and the Kaiser was forced into a corner by the officials, she might really kill her.

Her worries were correct. The court officials and the censors would not let her off so easily. What would the Emperor do then?

The Son of Heaven had violated the law and had committed the same crime as the commoners. Furthermore, she was only a Crown Princess Jing, and her identity was unknown.

What would she say if someone asked her where she came from?

If she did not tell them why she was suspicious of the officials, what kind of suspicion would arise in them?

Liu Ruo Qing's mood before she came out in the morning was almost ruined.

King Jing Palace —

When Yan Yuan returned to the Duke Palaces, not only did he not see Liu Ruo Qing, he instead saw the woman who was flirting with him in the garden.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

"Where's the wangfei?"

"Royal Concubine, she … "He left early in the morning."

Sweeping the streets.

When the butler found out that the Crown Princess Jing was actually not Princess Tian Xin, he was shocked. No wonder he always felt that the words and actions of the wangfei didn't resemble that of a princess at all.

It was just that, after all, the butler was someone who had served Yan Yuan for more than twenty years.

As long as the prince likes her, even if the princess was a beggar, it would not affect the fact that she was a Crown Princess Jing.

When Yan Yuan heard the butler say that Liu Ruo Qing had gone out, he remembered that the Kaiser had sent her to sweep the streets. He originally wanted to ask the butler to secretly send a few people to help her sweep the streets, but when he remembered Liu Ruo Qing's warning, he decided against it.

"Got it, is Qi Feng coming back yet?"

"Guard Qi just came back and is waiting for you in the study room."

"Yes."

Yan Yuan replied and walked towards the study room.

Qi Feng stood outside the study room and waited. When he saw that Yan Yuan had returned, he quickly went to welcome him.

"Your Highness."

"Let's talk inside."

The door to the study was closed by Qi Feng. Then, he quickly walked to Yan Yuan with a serious expression.

"Have you checked it out?"

Seeing Qi Feng's serious expression, he opened his mouth: "My lord, the entire clan has been killed."

Yan Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked straight at Qi Feng, "They're all dead? Where is You Miao's father, Mi Ta? "

"Mita died as well?"

"Yes, Mita's family is gone."

"Find out who did it?"

"On the surface, it looks like it's the same as the Western Region soldiers who invaded them. However, your subordinate has checked their wounds, and your actions were crisp and fast. They didn't even have the chance to cry out for help, the person who attacked them is definitely an expert."

Qi Feng frowned. Judging from his opponent's methods, he might not be his opponent's match.

After a short moment of silence, Yan Yuan continued to ask, "How long has it been since you died?"

"No more than three days."

Yan Yuan frowned as he sat in front of the table, his thin lips pressed together into a line. He never thought that there would actually be someone who was faster than them by a step, what was the purpose of them killing the Ta Ant tribe people?

If it was purely to harass them, they wouldn't need to kill them, and there was no need to intentionally cause the invasion of the soldiers. It was obvious that they were trying to cover up such an action.

But for what purpose?

"Have the men you sent returned?"

"Not yet. I think he'll be back in two days."

"Tell them to come see me as soon as they return."

"Yes."

"Let's go down first."

After Qi Feng left, Yan Yuan thought about the debate that took place today, and the expression in his eyes became cold.

It was clearly a small matter, yet they wanted to blow up, and even brought up the crime of the imperial family. If he said that there was no one who was willing to give him pointers, he would definitely not believe it, and he was very clear on the identity of the person who was guiding him from behind.

Fourth brother.

Only, did Fourth Brother really have the ability to make so many officials in the imperial court listen to him?

Perhaps there was someone behind Fourth Brother as well.

Thinking of this, Yan Yuan squinted his eyes, his fingertips thoughtfully rubbing the edge of the table, a cold light shining in his eyes.

Some people seemed to need a good beating.

King Wei...

Liu Ruo Qing swept across the streets for an entire day. After listening to their discussion for an entire day, her mood became more and more irritable, and the relaxed and happy mood she had in the morning had long since disappeared without a trace.

In a nearby restaurant, two young girls sat facing each other. One of them wore a light green summer dress, and her face was filled with arrogance and disdain. Opposite her sat a woman in a yellow dress.

"Sister Pang, listen up, these people are all talking about that fake Crown Princess Jing."

The one who spoke was none other than the daughter of the censor Meng Wu, Meng Pei Pei. Because he did not know Liu Ruo Qing's identity during the Mid-Autumn Meet, he had offended him before at longevity palace.

The last time she was scared witless, adding that the emperor had to choose the candidate to be the successor, she was afraid that offending the Crown Princess Jing would affect her. Hearing her mother's words, she tried her best to avoid provoking her.

But now, more than a year had passed, and the emperor had not brought up the issue of him standing up again. On top of that, he had caused a huge incident where the Crown Princess Jing had impersonated him as a successor. Today, she had even heard that her father and a few ministers had asked the emperor to join forces to punish that imposter.
