Chapter 119: Prince An is about to be demoted by three levels

Seeing that Qi Yanzhou agreed to help send relief money to Jiangnan, Ye Chutang took out another 100,000 taels of silver notes.

"Your Majesty, this is a small token of my appreciation to the victims. Please send it to Jiangnan and provide disaster relief in my name."

So far, she has become rich enough to rival a country, with more money than she can spend, and it is well worth using it to exchange for merit points.

The more Qi Yanzhou looked at Ye Chutang, the more he liked her.

He forced himself to look away and said, "The disaster victims in Jiangnan will definitely remember Miss Ye's kindness."

After that, he talked about the killer's portrait.

"Huaixuan and I not only gave the portrait to the Dali Temple, but also spread it around."

This is good news, and the smile on Ye Chutang's face deepened.

“It seems that it won’t be long before someone knows that the assassination at Prince An’s Mansion was also the work of the emperor.

The emperor will not allow his reputation to be damaged and will definitely push Prince An out to take the blame. ”

Qi Yanzhou nodded in agreement.

"Even if Prince An finds someone to take the blame, his title of king will not be able to be kept. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be demoted to earl."

Prince An is the emperor's younger brother. For the sake of the royal family's reputation, he will only be demoted in title and will not be actually punished.

Ye Chutang never thought that he could kill Prince An with just a few portraits.

Being able to demote him three levels is already the best outcome.

She reminded him, "Your Majesty, you and Young Master Qin, don't forget to ask Prince An for compensation."

Once the portrait is out, the compensation will be more than enough!

Qi Yanzhou looked at Ye Chutang with excited eyebrows and eyes, and his pale lips curled up slightly.

"Okay, I'll ask Prince An for it tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he remembered something.

"Miss Ye, the Emperor once asked me to trap the 'ghost thief' and set up a trap to lure you into it."

If he had not suffered internal injuries and was unable to enter the palace, the plan would have been implemented.

Ye Chutang looked at Qi Yanzhou with strange eyes.

"Why did the prince tell me this? Do you want me to pass on the message to the 'Ghost Thief'?"

Are you still suspecting that she is a "ghost thief" and testing her?

Qi Yanzhou guessed what Ye Chutang was thinking and explained immediately.

"The 'Ghost Thief' saved my life. This news is to repay him."

He described the trapping plan in detail.

After listening to this, Ye Chutang had to admit that Qi Yanzhou was very smart and the plan he made was perfect.

Unfortunately, no matter how perfect the plan is, it is only for ordinary people and cannot catch her who has the power of space and supernatural powers.

She asked, "If the plan fails, how will the prince explain to the dog emperor?"

"As long as the 'Ghost Thief' appears, my plan will succeed. As for whether the 'Ghost Thief' can be caught, it is the Emperor's business."

The plan was implemented in the imperial palace, and those who arrested the "ghost thief" were all people trusted by the emperor and were all experts.

The Imperial Guards, Palace Guards, Shadow Guards, and Dragon Guards all went out in full force.

If the emperor couldn't catch the "ghost thief" even after all this, he would have no face to blame him.

Ye Chutang felt relieved when he saw that Qi Yanzhou would not be implicated.

"Okay, I will convey the prince's words to the 'Ghost Thief'. As for whether he is willing to join the game, I can't guarantee it."

Qi Yanzhou nodded in understanding.

"Miss Ye, although the emperor is incompetent, he still has many people who can be used. Tell the 'Ghost Thief' not to be careless."

Ye Chutang responded and stood up to say goodbye.

After leaving Prince Chen's Mansion, she went to the study and bought Jun'er a set of fine writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone as a birthday gift.

***

The next day.

Ye Chutang got up early, lit calming incense in the left ear room and the side room, then went back to his room and entered the space to make a cake for Jun'er.

Low-gluten flour, eggs, whole milk, butter and fine sugar, oven, generator.

Because the time she could stay in the space was limited, she went in and out several times before she finished it.

She made a sponge cake, and since there was no cream in ancient times, she did not use any suspicious decorating.

The oven was so big that she not only made two cakes, but also baked a tray of cookies.

After finishing, she went to the kitchen and pretended for a while.

Sprinkle flour, throw egg shells, open the sugar jar and heat the pan.

Ding ding bang bang, it went on for more than a quarter of an hour.

Shan'er was woken up.

She looked out the window and saw that it was getting a little brighter. She was so scared that she stood up immediately.

"Why did you sleep?"

After muttering something, she got dressed and went to the kitchen.

As soon as she stepped over the threshold, she saw Ye Chutang opening the lid of the pot, and the tempting aroma hit her face.

Shan'er looked at the two orange-yellow round cakes in the pan and asked, "Miss, what are you doing?"

Ye Chutang took two cakes out of the pan, grabbed a piece and stuffed it into Dan'er's mouth.

"Try it and see if it tastes good."

Dan'er hasn't washed yet, so it's a bit difficult for him to eat.

But after eating, her eyes lit up.

"Miss, what is this? It's so delicious, fragrant, soft and sweet."

Ye Chutang was talking nonsense.

"This is what my aunt taught me when I was in the countryside. I think it tastes pretty good. Since today is Jun'er's birthday, I'll make it for him to try."

"The young master will definitely like it. I will go and wake him up right away."

Ye Chutang grabbed Shan'er.

"It's still early. I lit some calming incense in your room so that he can get more sleep."

Shan'er suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she had overslept today.

"Miss, the round cakes are ready. Won't they be cold soon?"

"It's okay, it tastes good even if it's cold."

"I see. Miss, please go and rest for a while. I will leave the kitchen to you to clean up."

When Ye Chutang returned to her room, Shuang'er pushed open the door to the yard and walked towards her quickly.

"My lady, I have something important to report."

PS: I wish all the little cuties a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and may you all be fair, rich and beautiful!
