In the imperial study, after listening to Wang Jing's report, the emperor's face was so gloomy that water almost dripped, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Wang Jing reported everything that he had investigated to the emperor, not only that Aunt Ye sued the Kaiyuan pawnshop that day, but also told in detail that the Kaiyuan pawnshop was originally owned by the Nanwang of the old town, and when it was seized. Become a pawnshop, change manager, how much money has been put away over the years, and how many people have been harmed... One after another, one by one, even Wang Jing himself said that his heart was beating endlessly.

Wang Jing wiped his sweat secretly, and added: "Your Majesty, the maidservant of the Queen's Concubine Zhennan went to inspect the property that day, and only then did they discover such evil deeds. In the end, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop had to admit that it was Feng Princess Zhennan acted according to the words of Princess Zhennan, and all this was done by Princess Zhennan."

Having said that, Wang Jing did not add his own speculation, but bowed and waited for the emperor's instructions.

The emperor frowned slightly and asked, "Are you saying that the concubine also ordered someone to go to Huaiyuan County?"

"Yes. Your Majesty." Wang Jing replied, "If it weren't for this, no one in Huaiyuan County would have known that Princess Zhennan had secretly seized the prince's property."

The emperor was silent for a while, then waved him back.

The emperor walked back and forth in the imperial study for several times, with an inexplicable expression, and finally said to Eunuch Liu, "Place the car to Fengluan Palace!" After speaking, he strode out of the imperial study.

Eunuch Liu heaved a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

In Fengluan Palace, the queen learned that the emperor was coming, and went out of the palace to welcome the emperor in person. The two came to Dongnuan Pavilion and sat down on the Luohan bed across the table.

After the palace maid served the emperor tea, she respectfully stepped aside, while the emperor, after drinking a cup of tea, talked about what Wang Jing had just reported, and he became more and more angry, and finally said, "Empress, If I hadn't personally ordered someone to investigate this, I'm afraid that Ayi would have to bear this notoriety in vain. After all, Princess Zhennan is simply lawless, and the emperor dares to openly seize Ayi's property and ruin his reputation. Nanjiang still doesn't know how to bully Ayi!"

The queen's face was also sinking like water. After pondering for a moment, she gently persuaded: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't wait for the petty people to break the dragon's body." It is a great fortune to discover it.”

"Unfortunate is unfortunate, how can there be great luck." The emperor shook his head and said, "This king of Zhennan is really confused, Ayi is his eldest son, the prince of the palace, he actually let Princess Zhennan do this!"

The most shameless thing about this little Fang clan is that not only did they occupy the property and money, but they also ruined Xiao Yi's reputation. And so the emperor was shocked.

It is the most poisonous woman's heart!

"Fortunately, Your Majesty, you know, and you will naturally decide for Ayi." The Queen said again, but she was a little disapproving of it: there is an old saying in the folk, that if there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather, and Xiao Fang's **** Blowing the pillow wind, King Zhennan is not the only son of Ayi... Thinking about it, a complex look flashed in the queen's eyes, and she quickly glanced at the emperor, her face as usual.

"It's really hateful," the emperor said. "In the end, I don't know how much property this little Fang has occupied. If only this open source pawnshop would be down, if..." He didn't finish his words, but pondered. After a while, he said meaningfully: "...Furthermore, I still can't figure out what Wang Jing told me just now."

The queen was stunned for a moment, and said inexplicably, "What does the emperor mean?"

After thinking about it for a while, the emperor said, "Empress, you have someone to call girl Yue into the palace. It's better to ask some things in person."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The Empress didn't ask more, she bowed her body, and gave Li Mammy a wink, and Li Mammy immediately took the order and left.

After saying these bad things, the emperor's heart gradually calmed down again, and he said with a smile: "Empress, yesterday I went to the study, and it happened that Mrs. Liu was letting Xiao Wu, and Brother Qing and Brother Xin to write policies. The title is 'how to govern a country'." The Qing brother in the emperor's mouth was Jiang Mingqing of the Jiang family, and he is now one of the five princes' companions.

Seeing the relaxed expression on the emperor's face, the queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and covered her mouth with a smile: "My concubine, remember that 'how to govern the country' was the topic of the last spring, right?"

"Exactly, the empress has a good memory." The emperor nodded and said, "I even took a look at it, Xiao Wu wrote it well." After speaking, the emperor's expression showed a hint of satisfaction. In the strategy theory, the five princes clearly put forward eight strategies for governing the country: equalizing fields, selecting officials, eliminating redundant, saving expenses, and allocating land, reducing taxes, making profits, and prohibiting extravagance. Although the specific ideas are still immature, it also shows that Whether he is reading or observing people's feelings, he is very attentive.

The emperor continued: "Liu Taifu also said that Xiao Wu and the others are already reading the seventy biographies of the "Historical Records", and Xiao Wu has worked hard at his age. It is no wonder that in ancient times, Meng mother moved three times, Xiao Wu, Qing brother and Brother Xin works very hard in reading, so it can be seen that my companion did not pick the wrong one for Xiao Wu." After a pause, the emperor warned again, "Empress, Xiao Wu is weak, you should also persuade him to pay attention to work and rest. Combined, this book should be read, but don’t get tired.”

The emperor's ability to say these words is already the greatest affirmation of the fifth prince. The queen is naturally beaming and smiled: "The emperor can rest assured, the concubine will instruct the few palace maids who are serving close by Xiao Wu to pay more attention. The emperor. To praise brother Qing like this, the concubine must relay this to the elder brother and sister-in-law as it is, so that they keep saying that brother Qing loves to play and does not like to read, and they also say that they should tell him about marriage earlier and find him. A daughter-in-law takes care of him."

The emperor was also said to have a smile in his eyes, but he remembered another thing and said meaningfully: "Speaking of which, Ying Lin will soon owe me a glass of matchmaker wine." The emperor said that Ying Lin was the queen's elder brother. That is, Prince Enguo.

The emperor's words confused the empress. Could it be that the emperor wants to give Jiang Mingqing a marriage?

Seeing the empress' doubts, the emperor smiled and said: "I received a military report from the northern Xinjiang early this morning... More than half a month ago, Jun Ge'er led a vanguard to quietly bypass Changlian Mountain and set it on fire. Losing half of Chang Di's granary at the foot of Changlian Mountain forced Chang Di's army to retreat two hundred miles due to lack of food and grass. , it seems that your mother's family will have a wedding soon!"

When the queen heard it, she was naturally overjoyed. The emperor's words not only meant that he agreed to the marriage, but also indicated that the war with Changdi that lasted for more than half a year was finally coming to an end. This is really a big happy event!

The empress chatted and laughed for a while, and after having lunch together, Nangong Yue came into the palace with a word of mouth.

The emperor pondered for a moment and avoided the inner room. Only then did the queen have someone call Nangong Yue in.

Nangong Yue came in with the palace servants in a dignified manner, and saluted with the most standard palace etiquette. The queen gave her a seat and waved back most of the palace servants, and soon only the two of them and Li Ma were left.

As soon as Nangong Yueyue sat down, the queen said straight to the point: "Yue girl, do you know that Yi has been impeached recently?"

"Impeachment?" Nangongyue's face turned pale with a "swipe", and her lips trembled slightly as she said, "Could it be that something changed in the southern border? Ayi, Ayi he..."

Seeing that she had misunderstood, the queen hurriedly comforted: "Yue girl, don't worry, it's not about the Southern Border." Seeing her relieved when she heard the words, the queen continued, "Yue girl, the censor is impeaching Ah. Yi secretly released money from the printing house, forcing the people to destroy their homes. Do you know that this happened?"

Nangong Yue's eyes narrowed slightly. From what she knew, the Queen never asked about the political affairs, and now she will deliberately send her to ask about the impeachment. There is only one possibility.

Come to think of it, the emperor's investigation has already come to a conclusion.

Nangong Yue's thoughts flew around, but she sighed with a worried look on her face, and said, "...Niangniang, Yue'er doesn't know what to say."

"In other words, you know?"

The Queen's expression turned serious. She still remembered that the emperor mentioned to her after lunch that Nangong Yue had sent someone to Huaiyuan County. Although the emperor didn't say anything clearly, the empress and his husband and wife for many years naturally knew that he was suspicious of Nangong Yue.

"Niangniang..." Nangong Yue lowered her eyes and said helplessly, "Before Ayi left the capital, he told Yue'er that his grandfather left him some properties, that is, some villages, shops and fields in Jiangnan. When his grandfather passed away, Yi was still young, and these properties were always managed by the stewards, and they only reported the accounts once a year. Yue’er thought, before Yi came back, look at all these accounts and take a look at the properties. Take care of it. But this time, you can see the problem. Niang Niang, you don't know, this account book is full of mistakes. The Liuhe Village on the outskirts of the capital has only sent two or three hundred taels of silver each year for the past two years. how can that be?"

The queen's face was calm and she asked, "Then what?"

"Yue'er thought it was a slave bullying the master, so she took someone to visit Liuhezhuang in person, but I didn't expect..." Nangong Yue bit her lower lip and said, "This Liuhezhuang's stewardship is not only a matter of scrutiny. She paid the money, and she also privately raised the rented son, turning the 25% of the grandfather’s decision back then into 50%! Although Yue’er is not involved in farming, she is also a girl raised by the Nangong Mansion. Of course, she knows the 50% of the rented son. It will make people unable to live, and the tenants of Liuhezhuang have not only been unable to survive these years, but it is not uncommon to sell children and daughters."

A girl from a big family will never know only romance, especially a girl from a direct descendant. She will be taught by her mother since she was a child. What will be affected, etc., are all clear. The more aristocratic girl she is, the more she knows about it.

This is also one of the reasons why high-class families are reluctant to marry concubine daughters, because there will never be a mother-in-law willing to teach concubine daughters earnestly and patiently as if they were their own.

The queen nodded clearly and motioned her to continue.

Nangong Yue's voice couldn't help but feel a little indignant, and said: "Niang Niang, such a slave bullying the master, Yue'er was in a hurry at that time, and directly tied up the steward and sold it. Let my dowry take care of it for a while, and wait for Ah Yi. I'll make a decision after I come back. Although it's a little inappropriate for Yue'er to meddle in her husband's property right after she gets married, but A Yiyuan is in the southern border. It's not good."

As a mistress of the house, there is nothing wrong with punishing Diao slaves.

"At that time, the steward who was sold by Yue'er kept saying that he was under the order of his mother's concubine, but Yue'er didn't believe it at all. They could use the name of Ayi to bully the tenants, and naturally they could also use the name of the mother-in-law to come here. Avoid punishment!... Yue'er thought it would be okay, but a few days ago, when Yue'er went to Liuhezhuang again, she was assassinated."

"Assassination?" The Queen's voice rose slightly, and at the same time, Nangong Yue noticed a slight noise inside, she remained calm, but said with a hint of fear on her face, "... Fortunately, Yue'er brought a guard. Nothing happened, Yue'er later sent someone to report to the yamen."

"Under the emperor's feet, this is simply outrageous!" The queen was angry.

In just a moment, the Queen already had countless speculations in her heart: Nangong Yue had just punished Diao Slave and was stabbed in a blink of an eye.

"Niangniang, Yue'er only dares to tell you... Yue'er actually doubted it, but she didn't dare to think about it." Nangong Yue said with a wry smile, "Among the properties left by my grandfather, there are only two villagers and a family near the capital. In the grain shop, because of the Liuhezhuang incident, Yue'er asked the maid to quietly visit the Kaiyuan Grain Shop, but unexpectedly something happened again. The maid came back and told Yue'er that she went to Tianyuan Street and couldn't find any grain. Shop, just when I was about to inquire, I met an old woman who was forced to sell her granddaughter. Lang Lang, how can such a tyrannical thing happen at the feet of the emperor? Never thought that the trouble would come later, and the manager actually said that the pawnshop was changed by the concubine's mother taking A Yi's grain shop... If it was just Liu Hezhuang, Yue'er would really believe that Diao slave was messing around, but even this open source The same is true for the grain shop, how can Yue’er be flustered and speculate more.”

Nangong Yue said half-truths, but the Empress was convinced, she nodded with a sigh and said, "It's a misunderstanding of you."

"Niangniang." Nangong Yue looked at the queen anxiously, and said, "Is Yi really going to be impeached by the imperial envoy to release the money? But it really doesn't matter about A Yi, she is obviously the concubine..." Having said that, Nangong Yue was a little hesitant to say anything, but in the end she gritted her teeth and said, "Niang Niang, there are no wrong parents in the world, Yue'er can't blame the mother and concubine for what she did, but she can't let Ayi carry such a bad name in vain. Yue'er refuses to accept it!"

The queen beckoned to her, called her to her side, and said comfortingly: "Yue girl, don't worry, although there is an imperial envoy to impeach, the emperor will definitely find out, and won't wrongly wronged Yi."

Nangong Yue smiled reluctantly and said, "Thank you, Empress!"

At this time, a palace maid came out of the room, possessed her body and said a few words in the ear of the queen, she saw the queen bow her head slightly, and asked, "You just said that there are two Zhuangzi here in the capital, and the other is now so what?"

"The other is called Bailinzhuang." Nangong Yue said with a wry smile, "Yue'er originally planned to go there a year ago to give some rice, grain and meat to the tenants to have a good New Year, but now it's a little uncomfortable. Dare to go. If something comes up again, the mother-in-law will probably blame Yue'er for not knowing what to do... But if you don't go and see, Yue'er's heart is uneasy."

"Then go."

"Queen?" Nangong Yue blinked and looked at her.

The queen looked at her and said, "Bengong asks Mammy Wen to go with you and decide for you."

Nangong Yue's eyes lit up and she stood up hurriedly, "Thank you, Niangniang. Then Yue'er will go tomorrow!"

After saying a few more words, the queen brought tea, and Nangong Yue got up and hurriedly retire.

The emperor came out of the inner room, and he heard the conversation just now clearly.

Originally, the emperor thought it was too coincidental, so he couldn't help but wonder if Nangong Yue did it on purpose, but after hearing those words, he was completely relieved.

This is indeed a coincidence, and it's not Nangong Yue's fault, but because this Princess Zhennan is too shameless!

"Your Majesty." The queen stood up, her attitude was the same as the emperor, and she heard her say, "Princess Zhennan is too shameless, she is still a dignified princess, a concubine is a concubine, no matter how high it is. I can't even lift my identity."

The emperor came to sit beside the queen and said, "Is this just what Princess Zhennan did?"

If it is just this open source pawnshop, it can be said that Xiao Fang's own opinion, but now it seems that she should take advantage of the death of the old town Nan Wang, when Xiao Yi was too young to take care of the general affairs, robbed the old town south All, at least most of the estate left by the king!

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "If a woman in the inner house has no support, how can she achieve such a situation, and she has not been discovered for nearly ten years... Maybe this Zhennan King already knew about it, or even acquiesced. Empress, this is It's not as simple as it seems on the surface, I thought King Zhennan just didn't like Ayi, but now it seems that sooner or later, the father and son will be inseparable."

Those who are kings focus on the way of balance.

If the father is strong and the son is weak, he will naturally support the son. But if the son is strong and the father is weak, even if he feels sorry for Xiao Yi, for the sake of monarchy, he still has to think of ways to weaken the son.

Xiao Yi's recent victories in the southern border are a good thing, but they also made him have some concerns.

What's happening now is not just the stepmother's birth.

Regarding the balancing strategy of the ruler, although Nangongyue only knows the skin, she knows that the emperor is suspicious. To reveal the true face of Xiao Fang's family, in addition to the bad breath, it is also to dispel the emperor's fears and doubts, so that Xiao Yi will not be too difficult after returning to the capital.

Therefore, she must be cautious and not make mistakes at all.

Bai Linzhuang is the next focus. Those bad moves made by Xiao Fang have undoubtedly given Xiao Yi and her a godsend opportunity! Fortunately, the Queen took the initiative to ask Mama Wen to go with her, otherwise, it would have taken her a lot of work.

After returning to the palace, Nangong Yue made some preparations, and then went to Bailinzhuang with Mother Wen the next day.

In addition to the guards who accompanied him, the empress did not know what to consider, so she asked Madam Wen to bring four guards out of the palace.

The guards and guards were all on horseback, and in addition, there were two carriages, on which were placed some rice grains and fabrics that were to be given to the tenants.

The group left the city early in the morning and soon arrived at the boundary of Bailinzhuang.

This is a Zhuangzi who looks very comfortable and quiet. According to the records in the account book, Bailinzhuang employs a total of fifty-two tenants, and this year's income totals 200 taels of silver.

The carriage stopped steadily on the side of the road, and Nangong Yue instructed Lily, "Go down and ask."

Lily responded and jumped out of the carriage, while Nangong Yue smiled helplessly at Mammy Wen, and said, "Mother-in-law would laugh, the last time I went to Liuhezhuang, I was too careless and was taken care of there. I thought it was going to cause trouble, and I was almost kicked out by the scoundrel. It was also thanks to the two maids around me who were loyal to me."

Wen Ma's eyes widened in disbelief. A dignified concubine went to her own village and was actually driven away by the manager. This is, this is too bold... Mammy Wen took a deep breath and said quickly, "Concubine Shi, please do it."

Sitting in the carriage and waiting for a while, instead of waiting for Lily, a strange young man came.

The young man was only about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was a little thin, but his skin was fair. Although his face was panic, he couldn't hide his handsome face. As he ran, he looked behind him in fear and saw three or four not far away. The young man is chasing after him.

The cluttered footsteps sounded harsh in the quiet surroundings.

The young man saw the carriage here, his eyes lit up, he ran over immediately, and shouted for help: "Help me!"

I don't know who is coming, but the guards all gathered around the carriage, with their hands on their swords, on guard.

"Prince Concubine, my servant, go and have a look." Seeing Nangong Yue nodding, Baihui jumped out of the carriage and asked the young man, "Who are you?"

The teenager shouted in panic: "This sister, save me...I..."

"Who came here to meddle in business!"

While talking, the guards had already chased out. A bearded man wanted to arrest the young man without saying a word. Baihui stepped forward, raised his hand to block, and said, "What crime did this person commit?"

The bearded man looked her up and down and said, "We are ordered to arrest a fugitive slave, it's better for the girl not to meddle in her own business."

"I'm not a fugitive slave!" said the boy loudly, "I was kidnapped by them from out of town, I don't want to stay here!"

The bearded man shouted impatiently, "Take it back!"

The rest of the people swarmed up, all to catch the boy.

Baihui snorted coldly, and immediately protected the young man behind her. Just as she was about to start, she heard Nangong Yue's voice in the carriage, "Ask them to be from Bailinzhuang."

"Yes." Baihui responded and looked at them coldly, "My master asked if you are from Bailinzhuang?"

Several people couldn't help but look at each other and looked at the carriage.

Nangong Yue didn't take a red-wheeled carriage on this trip, but one of the several carriages kept in the palace. Although her red-wheeled carriage was not as luxurious, it could be seen at a glance that the people among them were not rich but expensive.

Thinking of the activities in this village, the bearded leader seemed to understand a little bit, and he asked tentatively, "Is your master here looking for someone?"

"so what."

When the bearded man heard this, he was relieved and said, "If you are looking for someone, then go back. Not just anyone can come here." Then, he instructed the others, "Take the person Take it back."

Baihui asked with a sneer, "Then who should come?"

"Of course it's a man." Beard smiled and said with an evil spirit, "If the lady inside is here to find her husband, then she should leave early. We have seen this kind of thing a lot, don't lose it yourself. face, cry and go back."

Hearing this foul language, Aunt Wen's face in the carriage turned pale. She hurriedly looked at Nangong Yue, and saw that her face was stern, she said in a cold voice, "Presumptuous. Come on, fight!"

Nangong Yue's voice was heard outside, and the accompanying guards immediately drew their swords.

"Stay alive."

When Beard and the others saw that they dared to do something, it was unbelievable, especially the sharp light of the sword made them tremble, so they heard Beard shouting: "Master Qiao is inside, you dare to dare. Can't do it?"

"Master Joe?"

Nangongyue and Wen Mammy looked at each other, and Wen Mama thought to themselves: Can someone who can be called "adult" be an official appointed by the imperial court?

And Nangong Yue said coldly, "Why don't you dare to do it. Someone..."

"Wait, is it Master Min or Master Zhang..."

Seeing the long sword flashing in front of his eyes, the bearded man hurriedly shouted: "Don't, don't do it, this lady, who are you looking for? I'm going to call you. Maybe you're looking for someone you're looking for. The lord didn't come today... This is not a waste of harm."

Baihui stood aside, and at this moment, she asked aloud, "Hey, what are you doing here, Mr. Qiao and Mr. Zhang?"

The bearded man blurted out, "Of course you're here to have fun... This little lady, you'd better go back early. You have to let your husband know that you will be unhappy, and you will be the one to suffer."

Wen Ma was shocked and angry, and there was speculation in her heart.

Nangong Yue glanced at her, and seeing that the heat was almost over, she said bluntly, "Baihui, why are you still standing there, didn't you hear my orders?!"

"Yes!" Baihui responded and waved, "Go!"

The guards all swarmed up.

"You don't eat a toast and eat a fine drink." The bearded man was also annoyed when he saw this, and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you... ah!" Before he could speak, a sharp sword pierced his shoulder, and the blood instantly Dyed red.

The guards of the Zhennan Palace were all deliberately left by Xiao Yi when he left.

Although the guards of Bailinzhuang were powerful, they were far inferior to them, but they were all subdued in a short time. Several people were wounded on their bodies, but they were not fatal. ground, terrified.

Some people even say that you can do it, but you can still do it so ruthlessly? !

The bearded bear endured the pain and shouted, "Do you know who the master here is? It's so daring..."

"beat!"

Nangong Yue gave an order, and a guard stepped forward and kicked him fiercely. This kick was on the wound on his shoulder, and the beard fell to the ground, grinning in pain and unable to speak.

The teenager sighed in relief when he saw this, the curtain blocked the carriage, he only knew that there was a girl inside, and said gratefully, "Thank you sister for saving me!"

Baihui asked instead of Nangong Yue, "Who are you and why are they arresting you?"

"I……"

As soon as the boy's voice started, Lily ran back in a hurry, without looking at those who had been subdued, and said indignantly: "Ma'am, this place is so outrageous..." Her face flushed and she said , "They, they actually opened a private kiln here!"

Private yaozi, as the name suggests, is a place similar to a brothel, but it is not a brothel, but a place for pleasure-seeking for men with high status. The imperial court decreed that officials were not allowed to engage in prostitutes. In the capital, there were envoys who kept an eye on them at all times, so officials would naturally not violate the rules. But in the outskirts of the capital, some people started such private kilns. Most of these places have beautiful scenery and elegant decoration. They are more like an outside house than a private kiln.

In the outskirts of the capital, there are not many such private kilns, but after all, they are not on the table. It was unbelievable that this dignified Nanwang Mansion wanted to use private kilns for profit. Madam Wen, who was sitting in the carriage, was shocked and angry when she heard it. She looked at Nangong Yue, who had an unbelievable face, and really felt injustice for her.

As a prince concubine, if she wanted to inspect the property under her own name, she was not only shouted and killed, but even a good Zhuangzi was turned into a private kiln with no idea.

Nangong Yue's heart was very calm, she knew about Bai Linzhuang early in the morning. Bailinzhuang and Kaiyuan Grain Shop, she had sent people to investigate carefully, and she was really furious at the time, but then she forcibly calmed down.

In contrast, Kaiyuan Grain Shop is more suitable for making trouble, and this Bailinzhuang is deliberately kept, in order to add fire.

In order for the emperor to come forward and call the shots, Xiao Yi not only had to suffer great "grievances", but also showed his weakness.

Nangong Yue closed her eyes, looking like she was trying to endure her anger, she then asked, "What's going on?!"

"Madam, the slaves wanted to ask the tenants to find out about this Bailinzhuang, but I couldn't find it. So I sneaked in and found out." Lily said with a bit of indescribable words, "There are quite a few prostitutes here. and the servants."

"The lady in the carriage, this elder sister is right." The boy sobbed and said, "I was kidnapped by Ren Ya and sold to them... I am not a fugitive slave."

"How unreasonable!" Nangong Yue slapped the case a few times and said angrily, "Come here, go and find out the manager here."
