Chapter 73 He is a lunatic

The Southern Yan Emperor glanced at him and asked, "Is that true?"

Yan Xuanjing's face was gloomy. "Of course there is. I will have that subordinate come over to testify!"

As soon as he gave an order, someone came in with a man.

The man immediately knelt down, not daring to raise his head, and recounted the story of the hijacking of the disaster relief funds as if he was reciting lines.

Yan Liuchen was still standing beside the emperor. He was not panicked at all when he heard the slander. He even secretly raised his eyebrows in the direction of Yan Fengxiao.

Just as the man finished speaking, the Emperor of Southern Yan suddenly spoke.

"Come here, arrest him. He fabricated this incident to slander the prince. His crime is extremely serious. Behead him immediately!"

"yes!"

Outside, the guards immediately rushed into the court and dragged away the man kneeling on the ground.

When Yan Xuanjing saw this scene, his expression suddenly changed, "Father!"

Unfortunately, the Emperor of Southern Yan just waved his hand.

"I only look at the results. As for what happened during the process, that's not important. Don't you agree?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xuanjing felt a chill down his spine and subconsciously took a step back.

He finally bribed a subordinate of Yan Liuchen and learned the route of the relief silver, so he hijacked all the silver. As a result, the other party managed to collect all the silver in a very short time.

If he borrows money everywhere and exposes this matter, he will definitely find a way to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

But Yan Liuchen didn't know where he got so much silver from, and he actually filled such a big hole.

"Withdraw from the court!"

All the officials dispersed, and the originally majestic court hall was soon empty.

Yan Liuchen quickened his pace to catch up with Yan Fengxiao, but did not dare to look at him. He pretended to walk side by side with him and spoke in a low voice.

"Thanks for the money."

Yan Fengxiao said expressionlessly: "Tomorrow."

Yan Liuchen's face twitched, but when he thought about the fact that he was already in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

"This prince has promised me that I will send the silver to you tomorrow."

Yan Fengxiao got the answer he wanted and was no longer interested in dealing with the Second Prince.

He even quickened his pace, showing no intention of saying a few more words to him.

Yan Liuchen glanced around and chased after him. He spoke quickly, "The Empress Dowager postponed her birthday banquet because of the disaster, but after my mother and others persuaded her, she decided to hold a banquet in the palace in three days and invite all officials to attend. She also said that all gifts received at the birthday banquet should be donated to disaster relief. Have you prepared anything?"

Yan Fengxiao was stunned for a moment.

He has been so busy lately that he didn't even think about this.

He didn't answer, but kept the matter in mind for the time being.

…

Qin Mingzhu did not go out today. She stayed in the Marquis' Mansion waiting for news from the palace.

Although she had already obtained the divorce papers, she did not plan to publicize it now.

She sat in the house, needle and thread in her hands, delicate embroidery slowly blooming at her fingertips.

Qin Mingzhu unfolded the cloth in her hand. Half of the patterns were already on it. The fine and neat embroidery threads made the patterns magnificent and perfect.

In her hands she held a half-finished little dress.

The fabric is soft and delicate, just right for a sleeping baby in a swaddle.

Little Yunyu is already more than a month old and looks fair and tender. No wonder she wanted to bring it back home to raise as soon as she saw it in her previous life.

How could she not want such a cute thing?

Even if they are not your biological children, you should treat them like a treasure, not to mention that they are your own flesh and blood.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Chunhua ran back panting, then came to the bedside and whispered, "Madam, I've heard from the Governor's Office that the Marquis provided a map of the northern border defenses. The Emperor has temporarily detained him and has not yet ordered his disposal."

When Qin Mingzhu heard the news, she seemed to have anticipated this result.

"Yeah?"

Chunhua was a little worried.

As a close friend, she knew most of the lady's affairs, and of course she also knew about the divorce agreement.

"Madam, isn't it too early to sign the divorce agreement? If the Marquis is released from prison, he will definitely cause trouble for our family."

Qin Mingzhu raised her eyebrows.

She lowered her head and slowly embroidered a few stitches again, then said, "No hurry. He's already close to death after he revealed this news."

"What?"

Chunhua didn't quite understand what Qin Mingzhu meant.

Qin Mingzhu was now quite patient and began to explain to Chunhua.

"Even if the defense map isn't important, he betrayed the Northern Frontier Kingdom. Even if Princess Su of the Northern Frontier wants to protect him, some people within the Northern Frontier won't let it go."

Chunhua nodded seriously, as if she understood.

"Madam is right."

"I've inquired from the governor, and the identity of Princess Su from Northern Frontier is indeed very special, because she is the adopted sister of the Northern Frontier Emperor..."

Chunhua was stunned for a moment.

"Although I don't know much, the Emperor of Northern Frontier is probably already in his forties. His adopted sister must be quite old!"

"No, not really. This adopted sister is in her early twenties and was raised as a daughter by the Northern Frontier Emperor. Although she's not of royal blood, she's more favored than the princesses of royal blood. There are even many rumors that the two have a close relationship..."

Chunhua was stunned. "I don't understand the royal family's circle."

Qin Mingzhu felt very complicated when she heard Yan Fengxiao talking about these gossips.

She smiled and said, “Of course, I think these are indeed rumors. It is impossible for the Emperor of Northern Frontier to be interested in her.

However, although Princess Su is young, she is vicious and although she is an adopted daughter of the royal family, she has a very deep background.

Her mother married the emperor for the second time, and the two sons she gave birth to by her ex-husband are now famous generals in the northern border.

They are stationed in the northern border, and the two of them command a total of 300,000 troops..."

I see!

Chunhua understood.

"No wonder she is so arrogant and willful. If I had such a backer, I would be arrogant too!"

The little maidservant complained, but then wilted the next moment.

She had heard from her wife how vicious the other party was, and that he had even extended his hand to the imperial city of Southern Yan.

Even the marquis's mansion was a place where the princess could enter and leave freely. It was extremely scary.

"Madam, let's take the divorce papers back to my parents' home..."

"You're overthinking it. Even if Yan Qinghao and I divorce, he will definitely not let me go."

Qin Mingzhu raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

"Why?"

"She thinks Yan Qinghao's property is hers, and even if she doesn't want it, she won't allow others to dislike it."

Chunhua was shocked, "That woman is simply a lunatic."

"If she's not crazy, how dare she come to the Southern Yan Imperial City alone, and..." take the initiative to lower her status and marry him?

Qin Mingzhu put down the embroidery thread in her hand, stood up and stretched her muscles.

The smile on her face became more and more beautiful, and her eyes were as bright as before.

"Chunhua, go and deliver this letter to the governor. I've thought of several ways to deal with Yan Qinghao and Princess Su. Let him consider them..."
