The Yuwailang of the Ministry of Revenue was immediately stunned. Why would my daughter be a Nanzhao citizen?

Not only was the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue confused, but Emperor Yuan and everyone else present were also confused.

If they remembered correctly, Lord Zhang's deceased wife was from the Hongnong Yang family.

Although he was born out of wedlock, he could never be a Nanzhao or have mixed Nanzhao blood!

what is going on?

Jiang Yueyang was extremely excited. [Tell me quickly, isn't she the daughter of Lord Zhang? How did she become a Nanzhao person? ]

At this time, Xie Xu and the other two had temporarily classified the spies from Chishui and Turk as suspects for investigation.

In order to avoid arousing Jiang Yueyang and the spies' suspicion, they also listed other people as suspects.

The system explained: [Mr. Zhang’s eldest daughter was born to his deceased wife. She was driven to live on the farm when she was seven years old.]

When Mr. Zhang's second wife heard this, her face turned as pale as a piece of paper.

【Why? 】

[Because Mr. Zhang's second wife couldn't tolerate her.]

Jiang Yueyang subconsciously looked towards the Yuwailang of the Ministry of Revenue, and her eyes slowly locked onto the woman beside him.

[There must be a reason for driving her to the manor? She was disrespectful to her elders, disobeyed discipline, or caused her to have a miscarriage.]

[Neither.] The system said, [She falsely accused Mr. Zhang's eldest daughter of ruthlessly pushing her into the pond in an attempt to drown her.]

Everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly, what a terrible woman!

But is it necessary to be so cruel to a little girl who has lost her mother?

Jiang Yueyang shook her head, [How cruel! They actually accused a seven-year-old child of matricide! ]

Mrs. Zhang felt cold all over and her hands were shaking constantly.

She could feel countless gazes stabbing her like cold knives.

The system continued: [Mr. Zhang's eldest daughter was sent to the farm to fend for herself. Mr. Zhang treated her as if she didn't exist and never visited her.

Therefore, except for a maid who followed her to the farm and a few servants in the farm, no one knew what she looked like.

[So... the Nanzhao spies killed everyone in the manor, and then disguised themselves as Mr. Zhang's daughter and returned to the Zhang family? ]

The system responded, "Yes. Three years ago, the spies from Nanzhao burned down the manor, which attracted Lord Zhang."

After all, they were his daughters, and people’s gossip was scary, so Lord Zhang took them back to the Zhang family. 】

After hearing what the system said, Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but look at Emperor Yuan, [The evil ambitions of Nanzhao are obvious. I wonder how long Your Majesty can sit on the throne? ]

Emperor Yuan: “…”

Don't worry about it, Daxia will surely last for thousands of years!

After a while, Emperor Yuan gave the prince a wink.

After the prince understood what Emperor Yuan meant, he immediately said, "Father, Lady Xiao Jiang is injured. Why don't we let her go down and treat her wound first?"

Emperor Yuan pretended to look at Jiang Yueyang, then waved his hand, "Yuanzheng Guo, give Jiang Yueyang a good look."

Yuanzheng Guo was in a dilemma. "Your Majesty, the two guards of the Third Prince and Lord Xiao Jiang are seriously injured. We are unable to spare them."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I only have some superficial injuries, you can handle them yourself."

Seeing Emperor Yuan nod, Jiang Yueyang immediately bowed and took his leave.

After making sure that she entered her room, Xie Xu and others immediately controlled the four spies.

When Jiang Yueyang came out after treating her wound, she found Lu Yunting standing at the door holding the white fox, and the lobby was empty.

Jiang Yueyang asked: "Your Majesty, where are they?"

"I went back, and the others were taken back for questioning."

"That……"

"Lord Xie is very good at interrogation. It won't take long for him to find the spy. You don't have to worry too much about Minister Jiang and the others. Your Majesty knows what's going on."

"That……"

"Miss Gu Er and the others are relatives of important officials. If they cooperate with the investigation and there is no problem, they will be allowed to go home."

Jiang Yueyang reached out and touched the white fox in his arms, and asked with a smile: "Are you the roundworm in my stomach? I just said one word and you knew what I was going to ask."

Lu Yunting held her hand, his eyes fell on the wound on the back of her hand, his brows slightly furrowed, "Why don't you apply medicine?"

"It's just a minor scratch from a branch. It will heal quickly. No need to apply medicine."

Regardless of whether the injury was minor or major, Lu Yunting put down the white fox in his arms and took out the medicine powder and gently sprinkled it on the wound.

Jiang Yueyang let him apply medicine to her, with an unconcealable smile in her eyes and the corners of her mouth never falling.

"Lu Yunting, guess what I'm going to ask you next?"

"I’m waiting for you."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang's eyes curved with laughter.

At this time, the white fox on the ground seemed dissatisfied with being ignored and rubbed Lu Yunting's leg with its head.

After applying the medicine, Lu Yunting did not let go of her hand and just held it.

He bent down and picked up the white fox on the ground and looked at her, "Go back."

Jiang Yueyang hummed, pulled him into the room, picked up the baby panda, and left the enclosure hand in hand.

Three days later, the four spies were brought out by Xie Xu and others on several suitable grounds.

Among them, the reason why Mr. Zhang’s fake daughter was exposed was that Mrs. Zhang suspected that she was not the daughter of the Zhang family.

Then, they found the letters that contained their communication with Nanzhao in the fake daughter's room.

At this point, all the detained people were released back home, and Jiang Yueyang’s vacation officially ended.

On the fourth day, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Regarding the matter of spies, Emperor Yuan asked all civil and military officials to check the people in their own families.

If after self-investigation we find that there are spies coming from the civil and military officials, they will all be guilty of the same crime regardless of whether they knew about it or not!

For a time, people were in panic.

Jiang Yueyang looked at the uneasiness on the faces of the civil and military officials, and said to the system thankfully: [Little melon, luckily I have you, so I don’t have to worry about spies sneaking in. ]

[Isn't it true that I'm not completely useless?]

The eyes of the civil and military officials, who were originally in a state of panic, suddenly brightened up. They could invite Lord Xiao Jiang to take a walk around the mansion!

When the time comes, I'll bring up the matter of the spy with a worried look on my face. Lord Xiao Jiang is so gossipy that he will definitely ask about that little kid!

Just do it!

At this time, the Left Prime Minister stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is already old, and he is the heir to the throne, so he should be canonized as a Crown Princess as soon as possible."

Prince: ...Is twenty years old not young?

Emperor Yuan glanced at the ministers below and asked, "Do you have any candidates?"

The system was very excited, [Host, here it comes, this day has finally come! ]

[Shut up!] Jiang Yueyang prayed silently, [Gentlemen, please be merciful and don't mention my name.]

Civil and Military Officials: Don't worry, we are all counting on you to catch the spies, and we don't want you to be the one to suffer the consequences.

Lord Wei was the first to speak: "I recommend the left prime minister's youngest daughter, Wen Shuyan, to be the crown princess."

"I recommend the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, Miss Gu Ruo."

"I recommend General Zhenguo's sixth daughter."

"Father, I recommend Jiang Yueyang to be the Crown Princess."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly fell silent.
