The flower-viewing banquet hosted by Princess Yuyang ended successfully. Although there were some minor twists and turns, it was successfully completed.
The fact that Crown Prince Mo Yuncheng left shortly after the banquet began did not attract much attention. After all, everyone tacitly agreed that the Crown Prince was very busy.
Although the prince is not as busy as the emperor, he is already in his twenties, and Emperor Mo Xuan often asks the prince to share government affairs.
Therefore, it is understandable that the prince left early because he had something to do.
Wushuang had already controlled her inner thoughts so that only Shangguan Sui and Mo Yuncheng could hear them. Originally, her adoptive brothers could hear them, but only that once.
There was only that time when she revealed to Shangguan Sui and the others where Shangguan Ya was. After that, Zhang Rui and Zhang Xie could no longer hear her inner voice, so they thought they had misheard.
After all, they had often tried to test Wushuang two months before she got married but couldn't hear her true feelings, so they didn't take it to heart.
Shangguan Sui and Mo Yuncheng certainly couldn't tell Zhang Rui and the others that even though they were now somewhat related, that was actually the extent of their relationship.
Shangguan Sui has a rather cold attitude towards everyone, especially after hearing Wushuang say that his relationship with his parents and brothers is not very good, he feels that there is no need for him to force himself to get close to those people from Yue's family.
Anyway, that's his personality, and no one can see anything wrong with his cold attitude.
Only Shangguan Sui and Mo Yuncheng could hear Wushuang's inner thoughts, and Mo Yuncheng didn't see Wushuang often, so Shangguan Sui was the one who heard them the most.
But he couldn't hear it all the time. Basically, he could only hear a small part every day.
Shangguan Sui didn't care what was going on. He and Mo Yuncheng began to investigate the affairs between Prince Su, Duke Su, and Princess Yuyang.
Prince Su was in Yanzhou, and Duke Su and his son were in the capital, so Shangguan Sui and his men began to investigate Duke Su.
It is also very easy to investigate Princess Yuyang's side.
They had never thought about it before, so they were not very clear whether Princess Yuyang had a lover or not.
This is what the saying "one leaf blocks the view" means.
Princess Yuyang and her husband were well-known in the capital for their loving relationship, so no one had ever imagined that they were actually having affairs with other people.
"I am really getting old and confused. I didn't even know that Yuyang was so rich in private." Mo Xuan looked at the account book that his son had found from somewhere, and the more he looked at it, the more he sneered.
He really didn't expect that his beloved daughter could make so much money without telling him.
Although a large part of this money may have been earned through improper means, it is still more than his national treasury.
Although his treasury had a lot of income every year, it also had a lot of expenditure every year.
Dayin is such a huge city that there are many natural disasters and man-made disasters every year, and all of these cost money.
There are also the salaries of civil and military officials, the money needed for various policies, and the silver and money invested in military supplies, which are all very large.
His treasury spent a lot of money every year, resulting in the money that could be saved in the treasury being less than the money in his daughter's private treasury.
"I really didn't expect that Yuyang is such a good businessman and so wealthy, even richer than me, the emperor." Mo Xuan laughed angrily.
Mo Xuan was not an emperor who lived a comfortable and enjoyable life, and he was even less the kind of person who thought that just because his children were princes and princesses, they should enjoy the best things in the world.
He hopes that his children will live a good life, but this does not mean that they will live better than him and still rely on exploiting the people.
"Cheng'er, you go and take care of this." Mo Xuan said to Mo Yuncheng, "Confiscate all the things under the names of Yuyang and her lover. Don't leave her a single cent."
"As for the prince consort..." Mo Xuan looked at the investigation about Princess Yuyang's prince consort and sneered, "Permit the prince consort and Yuyang to divorce. I grant him a marriage with his beloved woman. For the rest of our lives, we will never be separated."
Back then, the Duke Mo's Mansion was able to force the prince consort to separate from his beloved cousin and marry her off far away, which showed that they looked down on this cousin.
This cousin is indeed related to the Mo Guogong Mansion, but the relationship is relatively distant. Even if it is not a close relative, it is still a relationship within the fifth degree of mourning.
This cousin's parents are both dead and her family has fallen into poverty. How can she compare to the favored princess?
Now Mo Xuan lets Princess Yuyang and her husband divorce, and then lets her husband marry his beloved cousin, so that they can no longer act arrogantly by relying on their status as the royal son-in-law.
The most important thing is that this beloved cousin is no longer as easy to deal with as she was before after all these years.
Mo Xuan was very much looking forward to seeing his cousin fight with her mother-in-law after she successfully married into the Mo Guogong Mansion.
He wanted to see who the prince consort would choose between his biological parents and his beloved woman.
"Zhongjing, the gold mine in Xizhou depends on you." Mo Xuan looked at Shangguan Sui and said.
Shangguan Sui was appointed as a general by him, and the title of Marquis of Changping was also earned by him through military achievements, so it would be better to let the brave and warlike Shangguan Sui handle the situation in Xizhou.
"I know you are newly married, but the matter in Xizhou is more urgent, so I'm sorry to trouble you, Zhongjing." Mo Xuan said.
"I obey your order." Shangguan Sui responded.
He has no complaints.
Although it was not good for him to leave the capital right after his wedding, it was for Dayin and he had no choice but to do so.
Mo Xuan looked at him like this and nodded with satisfaction, "Don't worry, I won't treat you and your wife unfairly when the time comes."
