C627

On the 23rd of the first month, the new year arrived. The envoys of the Northern Frontier entered the palace and proposed marriage.

The emperor did not reply, but said that this matter should be discussed later.

Because there were outsiders present at the banquet, the princes were safe and sound, and no longer openly or covertly fought with each other. However, the envoys from the Northern Frontier were extremely dissatisfied with King Yu. They provoked him with their words, but King Yu replied back with a tone that was not painful at all.

After the banquet, just as the emperor was preparing to rest, Imperial Concubine Qi brought two boxes of account books to the imperial study, reporting to the emperor that the Internal Affairs Division's accounts were incorrect. Someone was secretly greedy for money.

The emperor was furious after hearing this. He immediately called the Head Steward of Internal Affairs over to inquire about the matter. He also sent people to check the books.

The Chief of Internal Affairs bit the bullet and refused to admit his mistake. In the end, he crashed into a pillar and died. The three stewards under his command also committed suicide out of fear. After checking the accounts, he found out that the amount that Imperial Concubine Qi had reported to him had not been wrong. The emperor had given the order to investigate the whereabouts of the silver and finally to find out who Imperial Concubine Li was.

Wang and Li Qingzhou had yet to return to their mansion when they were once again summoned into the palace by the Emperor. Upon entering the palace, they saw Imperial Concubine Li kneeling on the ground, trembling all over. The emperor threw the books to Li Qingzhou to examine, angrily berating Imperial Concubine Li for mismanaging the palace and even ordering them to investigate the whereabouts of the silver taels. All the other officials and stewards in the Department of Internal Affairs were interrogated by the staff. Finally, someone couldn't bear the torture and told that everything had been done by Imperial Concubine Li. He even said that all the silver had been given to Imperial Concubine Li.

The subordinates he had arranged for him were all greedy. Imperial Concubine Li stubbornly refused to admit it. The supervisor and several important stewards were already dead. Without evidence, the emperor could not use this as a way to convict her. Just then, Lifei brought some people over to report that they had caught a stolen palace maid, implicating an old case during the interrogation. The palace maid told Imperial Concubine Li to give it to Zhou.

Someone drugged and ordered the guards to adulterate him, causing Honorable Zhou to be pregnant, and once again interrogated him, which resulted in many old cases. Imperial Concubine Li froze on the spot.

For the sake of her old friendship with the First Prince, she might not even be able to keep her position as the First Prince.

The emperor had ordered for the rectification of the Internal Affairs Division. With the secret assistance of the Grand Princess Yi, Imperial Concubine Qi had used this opportunity to eliminate more than half of the people from the Li family that had been planted there. Using this opportunity to clean up the Internal Affairs Division, Imperial Concubine Qi had obtained the permission of the Emperor to release a large number of old men from the palace. She had paid particular attention to cleaning up the Li family's spies. The Lee family wanted to retaliate, but before they could do anything, they discovered the treasures under their hands …

After receiving the shock, Ye Chong looked down and actually found the treasure chest.

When King Yu found out, he was flustered. He could not handle a single King Yu. If there was another King Jin, then he would be even more at a loss of what to do.

In his rage, he did not even discuss with Li Qingzhou. Instead, he secretly instructed the spikes to be inserted into the side of Prince Jin to poison him again.

This time, before the nail could take action, it was caught by Prince Jin's men and interrogated. Prince Jin led his men into the palace and placed the poison before the emperor. When the emperor heard this, he was infuriated, but more than that, he was disappointed. He did not expect the King to be this crazed to the point that even his own younger brother did not hesitate to poison him. Although it did not immediately happen, he was secretly supporting King Yu and Prince Jin to suppress them.

Today, you have the upper hand. Tomorrow, I will be more skillful than you, but fortunately, the Emperor was able to strike a balance between them. Thus, the entire imperial court was able to hold its peace.

Mu Yunyao and King Yue had already arrived at Yan City.

Yan City wasn't too far away from the capital, but this place didn't have the slightest trace of the capital's ostentatious atmosphere. At this time, it was the New Year's Eve, and the city was filled with a festive atmosphere, bustling with noise and excitement.

After finding an inn to rest for a while, Mu Yunyao and Yuwai Wang changed carriages and slowly headed towards the Weir Village.

It was still early when they arrived, and they could see the smoke rising from the village in the distance.

Mu Yunyao thought of Lady Yang, who had taken extra care of her and her mother earlier, and couldn't help but walk towards her memories.

Most of the village remained unchanged, but the Yang family's house had been replaced by a new one, and the entire courtyard had become much brighter.

The horse carriage continued forward, and quite a few children followed it from a distance. Some of them pointed excitedly at the large horses.

When Mistress Yang heard the barking of a dog as she walked out, she opened the door and saw the guards surrounding the carriage. Just as he was considering whether he should turn around and call for his husband, he saw a man with an overbearing aura alight from the carriage.

He was dressed in a dark purple robe with a jade belt around his waist and had a scarlet gold crown on his head. He had a handsome face and a cold aura, even more handsome than the gods that came down to the mortal world.

Just when she didn't know how to react, the man turned around and brought out a woman from the carriage. To be more precise, it should be a young girl. This girl had a slender figure and wore a silver silk cloak with snow-white hair curling around her shoulders. She appeared exceptionally warm and harmonious, making her delicate and sweet face even more exquisite and agile. She slowly walked out of the carriage. As she did so, her cloak swayed around her, revealing a body of exquisite embroidery …

The flowery skirt.

Mistress Yang sized up the girl who got off the car, and the more she looked, the more familiar she felt that she was. She couldn't help but cry out, "Yao … Yao'er? Are you Yun Yao? "

Mu Yunyao looked over and saw that Mistress Yang's spirit was much better than before and that her clothes were neatly put on as well. Right now, she revealed a surprised expression, but her eyes couldn't conceal the excitement in her eyes. She couldn't help but curl her lips and ask, "Aunt Yang, long time no see. Have you been well?" Hearing that, Lady Yang's eyes immediately reddened, and she couldn't care less about Duke Yu's fear, hurriedly stepping forward to hold onto Mu Yunyao's hand. "Yunyao, is it really you? 'This is great, this is really great! I've always been hanging around you and Su Qing's little sister. Where have you been all this time? Why haven't I heard anything from you? '

Has it been transmitted over? " Mu Yunyao let Mistress Yang pull her along as the feelings in her heart became extremely complicated. "I'm fine with my mother and I, we're fine because I'm worried about Aunt Lao."
