When the men in black realized that the situation was not right, they immediately retreated. The men in black who were forced to stay committed suicide without hesitation.
Yan Jinxiu was a little injured. It was not too serious, but it was not light either. It was very good to hide the fact that she knew martial arts.
Yan Jinxiu was carried ashore by Duanmu Qi. When they passed by Shi Sheng, Duanmu Qi glanced at her coldly.
Shi Sheng gritted his teeth. Was the male lead's brain sick? She didn't do anything. What did he mean by acting like she was the one who ordered him to do it?
[…] You beat him up. Will he not bear a grudge? Idiot host!
"What did you say?"
[…] Nothing. The battery ran out. Go offline.
"Your Highness?" Shi Sheng just said that sentence directly. The imperial guards asked in confusion.
Shi Sheng cursed the ancestors of the system in his heart and said without changing his expression: "It's okay."
A group of frightened young masters and young ladies went ashore with weak hands and legs. When they saw Shi Sheng sitting on the shore leisurely, many of them were dissatisfied.
The imperial guards came so early, but she didn't let them save them.
The next day, Shi Sheng was impeached. As the eldest princess, she didn't care about her subjects.
This gave the emperor a headache. It's fine if you do it secretly, but you also swaggered around. Isn't this asking for trouble?
Just when the emperor didn't know what to do, Grand Tutor Qi, who hadn't been to court for a long time, suddenly stood up and said that he was willing to teach the eldest princess.
This gave the emperor a way out. The emperor immediately agreed.
So, Shi Sheng didn't know that he had one more Grand Tutor.
"If you have something to report, please report. If not, the court is dismissed." The eunuch's sharp voice spread throughout the throne room.
"Your Majesty." Song Heng, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stood up. "What do you plan to do with those things last time?"
The people in the throne room, who were still a little uninterested, immediately became spirited when they heard Song Heng's words.
Song Heng was talking about the gold, silver, and jewelry that inexplicably appeared in their backyard. At this time, those things had been sent to the national treasury.
But because the origin was unknown, they only did an inventory and didn't make any plans.
The emperor was silent for a moment. "Since we didn't find anything, we will confiscate them and put them in the national treasury."
"Yes." Song Heng heaved a sigh of relief.
But before he could relax, someone had already set their sights on this batch of gold, silver, and jewelry.
"Your Majesty, recently, our Ministry of War needs to change weapons. Lord Song has been holding us back, saying that the treasury is empty. But now, Lord Song can't refuse. The Ministry of War needs to change weapons to protect the country. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The person who spoke was the Minister of War, Duan Feng.
Duan Feng had been angry before. Why did so many things not appear in his backyard, but in the backyard of his sworn enemy, Song Heng? Who knew if he had hidden them.
At this moment, no matter what, he had to carve out a piece of meat from him.
"Sir Duan, how many months has it been since your Ministry of War last changed weapons? The two countries aren't at war right now, so how could it be consumed so quickly? "Song Heng retorted loudly.
Duan Feng sneered, "How much did Lord Song approve last time? How can there be enough to replace so many soldiers in the Ministry of War? "
"Lord Duan has used various reasons to ask for money from the Ministry of Revenue. Isn't that enough?"
"Lord Song, what is the meaning of this? Are you saying that I'm embezzling? I, Duan Feng, am loyal to His Majesty. How could I do such a thing? Lord Song, don't slander me. "
"You know very well whether Lord Duan did it or not."
"You …"
The two of them quarreled directly in the court. The Emperor had been silent, and no one knew what he was thinking. Just as the two of them were quarreling fiercely, a little eunuch hurried in from the side door.
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is back."
This sentence was not loud, but the noisy throne room instantly quieted down.
… …
Yan Mansion.
Yan Jinxiu was lying on the bed, and a person dressed as a maid was kneeling beside the bed.
"Miss, we have the whereabouts of the gold."
Yan Jinxiu glanced sideways, her pale face full of coldness, "Where is it?"
The maid was silent for a moment, then spat out two words, "The treasury."
Yan Jinxiu's pupils shrank, "Is the news confirmed?"
"It's absolutely true. Today, the Minister of War and the Minister of Revenue quarreled over this."
"Cough, cough, cough …" Yan Jinxiu suddenly coughed, and her face became even paler. The maid quickly got up to help Yan Jinxiu breathe.
"Miss, I suspect that there is a traitor," the maid said in a low voice.
Miss had given this matter to her to handle. She had only told the few people she trusted the most, but when her people went, it had already been emptied.
Yan Jinxiu coughed for a while, then took a deep breath, "Impossible. There are so many things. The news was leaked from here, and those things were moved away. It would not be so fast."
"Then what does Miss think?"
"That day, the people who went down the cliff included the imperial guards who were looking for Duanmu Zhangning, and …" Yan Jinxiu paused, "Duanmu Qi."
"Miss suspects Junwang Ye?" The maid was shocked.
"His appearance is too coincidental, and that place is very close to the cave." Yan Jinxiu calmly analyzed, "Have you found Duanmu Qi's secret forces?"
The maid shook her head, "Junwang Ye's people are all normal. He did not contact anyone. From returning to the capital until now, we have investigated all the people he has contacted. There is nothing unusual."
"Continue to investigate."
"Yes." The maid replied respectfully. She glanced at Yan Jinxiu and said carefully, "Miss, do you really think it is Junwang Ye?"
Yan Jinxiu touched the wound on her arm and lowered her eyes, "He is the most suspicious. It is always good to investigate clearly."
"This subordinate understands."
…
When Yan Jinxiu suspected Duanmu Qi, Duanmu Qi did not know at all. At this time, his mind was filled with the sword in Shi Sheng's hand.
However, no matter how his men investigated, there was no news at all.
No one in the palace had seen Princess Royal use this sword.
"Prince, could it be that Princess Royal got it from the bottom of the cliff?" The steward raised his own opinion.
Since Princess Royal did not have it before, she had it after coming back. The only explanation was that she got it from the bottom of the cliff.
It was such a high mountain, but Princess Royal was fine after falling down. No matter how one looked at it, it was strange.
Duanmu Qi thought of how Shi Sheng suddenly knew martial arts. It was really possible that she got something good from the bottom of the cliff …
"Keep an eye on her."
"Yes." The steward replied. He hesitated for a moment, "Prince, I have something to report to you."
Duanmu Qi picked up the tea beside him and took a sip, "Speak."
"Miss Yan's people have been investigating us recently. Do we need to do anything?" Duanmu Qi had instructed not to do anything to Yan Jinxiu, so the steward asked alone.
Duanmu Qi pondered for a moment, "Don't expose the important things. Let her investigate the rest."
He wanted to see how much that woman could find out.
She was clearly a little wild cat with sharp claws, but she had to pretend to be a harmless little sheep.
Wasn't this more interesting?
