"Your Majesty, don't alert the enemy with what you have found out. Your safety is the most important thing." Zhao Qingrui said gently.

"Don't worry, I know it without you telling me." Ying Zheng laughed.

"That's good. I'm just afraid that you will be willful." Zhao Qingrui smiled faintly. His father has the highest status in the entire Qin Dynasty. If he wants to do something, no one else can stop him.

The father and daughter chatted for a long time before hanging up the phone.

Things in the court were proceeding in an orderly manner, and Yao Jia also set out on the road back to Xianyang with the captured people.

Within two days of these people being captured, the royal family received the news.

"What should we do?" Ying Shu panicked all of a sudden. They had done a lot of transactions with the Maurya Dynasty over the years, otherwise how could they make so much money.

Now that they have been caught, if they give up the truth, they will be completely finished.

The laws of the Qin Dynasty did not show any mercy to the royal family. Even the first emperor's beloved son, Hu Hai, was sent to mine.

They didn't think Zhao Qingrui would let them go. Once the truth was verified, they might go mining with Hu Hai.

"Why are you panicking? Calm down, nothing has happened yet. When you go out later, control your emotions. If anyone notices anything, don't blame me for being ruthless." Ying Yuan's face was gloomy, and he stared at Ying Shu fiercely, his eyes full of warnings.

Ying Yuan's gloomy expression made Ying Shu shiver, and his heart was startled. He and Ying Yuan grew up together and had a close relationship. He understood Ying Yuan's temperament better than anyone else.

If he was really angered and his plan was ruined, Ying Yuan would definitely be the first to push him out as a scapegoat. After all, what he did was not clean either, so it was just right to push him out.

Ying Shu calmed down. Ying Yuan was right. They couldn't panic now. If the people in the court found anything unusual and traced it back to them, then it would be the end of them.

The most urgent task is to find a way to remove them from this matter.

"Brother, do you have any good ideas?" Ying Qiao looked at Ying Yuan.

"What else can we do? Let one of the managers take the blame. We were careless this time." Ying Yuan's face was gloomy.

This time they were caught red-handed. If they didn't find a scapegoat, Zhao Qingrui would definitely take action against them.

"Okay, I'll arrange it later." Ying Qiao nodded seriously.

"Remember to clean up the mess thoroughly and don't leave any clues. That Yao Jia is not someone you can easily fool." Ying Yuan warned. Compared to Ying Shu, Ying Qiao is more reliable.

"Don't worry, big brother. I won't have to." Ying Qiao bowed and then walked out.

"Brother, what should I do?" Ying Shu looked at Ying Yuan eagerly. At this time, he was very confused and didn't know what to do.

"You, you don't have to do anything. Just do what you should have done before. Just don't reveal any flaws." He glanced at Ying Shu and thought, forget it.

"Ah?" Ying Shu looked at Ying Yuan in confusion.

"What? You're so careless. I'm worried about letting you do something. If someone catches you, it will be over. You'd better be honest." Ying Yuan rolled his eyes at him.

After instructing him on some things not to do, Ying Yuan left in a hurry. Next, it was time to make some careful arrangements.

He wanted to go out and conquer some territory, and this matter must not drag him down.

Zhao Qingrui looked at the memorial, confession and testimony submitted by Yao Jia, his face slightly cold.

He glanced outside the imperial city. He was the descendant of Crown Prince Dao. No wonder he was so confident in getting the people of the Maurya Dynasty to cooperate with him.

He put down the memorial and picked up another book from the desk. It was the application submitted by Ying Yuan.

Zhao Qingrui had already distributed the application template. They only needed to fill it out according to the requirements and send it to Zhangtai Palace for her to review. Once the review was passed, they would be enthroned as princes.

Zhao Qingrui knew exactly who were the people willing to go out and build a career.

And Ying Yuan is also the person she focuses on.

There are not many people in the royal family who are truly capable and courageous, and Ying Yuan is one of them.

It’s a pity that this person had evil intentions and colluded with people from the Maurya Empire.

"Your Majesty, Lord Dun Ruo requests an audience." The little palace maid said respectfully.

"Let him in." Zhao Qingrui said without raising his head.

Soon, Dun Ruo came in and said, "Your Majesty, I, Dun Ruo, pay my respects to you."

"What brings you to Zhangtai Palace at this time?" Zhao Qingrui looked at Dun Ruo indifferently.

Zhao Qingrui was thinking about how to solve Ying Yuan's problem at this time. If it was other trivial matters, she was too lazy to care about them.

"Step aside. There is movement from the royal family. Young Master Yingqiao is collecting clues. I have obtained an account book. Your Majesty, please make the decision next." As he spoke, he took out the account book.

The account book was presented to her, and Zhao Qingrui began to look through it. There were a lot of accounts in it, and they were quite detailed. She had a lot of properties under her name over the years, and there were also many account books from the Ministry of Revenue. Zhao Qingrui was already accustomed to looking at these account books, and she could tell if there was any problem at the first glance.

As he flipped through the pages, Zhao Qingrui's expression gradually became more ugly.

This account book records relatively large and secret transactions. In addition to contacting people from the Maurya Empire, they also contacted some stubborn forces on the grassland and provided them with supplies.

Zhao Qingrui touched his chin and asked, "Is there really no problem with this account book?"

"Your Majesty, I found this in the secret compartment." Dun Ruo said simply.

"I understand. Next, you keep an eye on Ying Yuan's actions. I want to see what he will do next?" Zhao Qingrui pondered.
