The prince, who was studying in the study, heard the wet nurse's crying and looked at He Zhu, who was serving beside him, in confusion.

"What's going on up there? Mammy, why is she crying so sadly? Go and take a look."

"yes."

When He Zhu came to the front, he saw the wet nurse crying and telling how difficult it was for her to raise the prince, and how the princess bullied her as soon as she came in, asking if she had disliked her for a long time, etc.

After looking around, he came directly to Shu Qing's side. After all, he had followed the prince when he left the palace before, so he was quite familiar with Shu Qing.

"Shu Qing, what's going on?"

"Why is Eunuch He here? Well, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess left this morning, didn't they instruct Nanny Jiang to hand over all the affairs of Yuqing Palace to the Crown Princess?

Just now, after Nanny Jiang handed over the account book of Yuqing Palace, the Crown Princess discovered something wrong. Nanny Jiang had secretly kept the real account book.

The Crown Princess wasn't too angry, she just asked Madam Jiang to hand over the real account book. When she refused, she ordered the servants to search the house, and she was just throwing a tantrum.

"What's the meaning?"

"What I mean is that you've been manipulated by Madam Jiang. Speaking of which, Eunuch He often leaves the palace. Could it be that he's really unfamiliar with the prices of ordinary people?"

He Zhu frowned and smiled bitterly. He was a senior eunuch serving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even if he went shopping in person, he would go to the most expensive store. How could he possibly know the prices of ordinary people?

"From the looks of it, Madam Jiang is quite greedy?"

"What do you think? An egg costs a penny, and the quoted price is one ounce of silver. Do you think that's too much?"

"Hiss~ How dare she?"

He Zhu originally thought that even if someone was greedy, he would at most report ten or twenty coins for something worth only one coin. He did not expect that Nanny Jiang was so bold as to report one or two taels of silver. You know, one or two taels of silver is worth one thousand coin.

"I don't know either, but I am sure that this was not done recently. I wonder how many more dirty things are going on in Yuqing Palace!

We, the Crown Princess, encountered such a thing on the first day after entering the house. I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.”

He Zhu felt very aggrieved. This was full of sarcasm. It was all because the prince trusted Nanny Jiang, otherwise why would he be ridiculed?

"But Madam Jiang won't cooperate?"

"Of course she won't cooperate. If they find out anything, she'll lose her head. She's not stupid, so why would she let us search the house?

But the more she refuses to let me search her room, the more it shows that she has something to hide. I think she is doing more than just corruption."

He Zhu thought about it and realized that it was true. Nanny Jiang had been in control of Yuqing Palace for many years, so it was impossible for her hands to be clean, otherwise the entire Yuqing Palace would not listen to her so much.

"Let's go find the prince to handle it."

"Thank you, Eunuch He."

After He Zhu told the prince what he had found out, the prince stood up and prepared to go and support Mu Sili.

"This Yuqing Palace belongs to me, and everything that belongs to me belongs to the Crown Princess. Who allowed Madam Jiang to act like this in front of the Crown Princess?

He Zhu, since the Crown Princess thinks there's something fishy about Nanny Jiang, then you should personally lead people to search her house. I want to see if it's true, as the Crown Princess said, that she has another account book in her hands!

"Yes, I will take people to investigate right away. Your Highness, please wait a moment."

When the prince came to the front, Nanny Jiang thought he was there to support her. She glanced at Mu Sili in front of her with pride, her eyes full of sarcasm.

After all, the prince was raised by her breasts. After so many years of friendship, it is impossible for the prince to just stand by and watch.

Maybe I can take advantage of it. What if the prince gets tired of this princess who took away his power as soon as she came in and wants to deal with his princess?

"Your Highness, you are here. I feel wronged. I beg you to help me.

This old servant has served you for many years with all his heart and soul, and has managed the Yuqing Palace very well. Now that the Crown Princess has just entered the palace, she is finding fault with me. This old servant is really...really heartbroken.

If Your Highness feels that I am too old and indeed unsuitable to serve in Yuqing Palace, please expel me from the palace, so as to avoid bringing bad luck to the Crown Princess.

I have children at home who can support me. Your Highness, don't worry. As long as you are well, I will be fine."

This was said as if Mu Sili was deliberately looking for trouble, but unfortunately the prince didn't believe it.

"Since I have entrusted the affairs of Yuqing Palace to the Crown Princess, I naturally trust her wholeheartedly. Since Mammy has done nothing wrong, the Crown Princess can search if she wants.

If there are no other account books hidden in the nanny's room, I will definitely ask the Crown Princess to apologize to you, clear your name, and reward you with a hundred taels of gold to comfort the nanny's wounded heart.

But if they really found something in Mammy's room, Mammy should really think about how to explain it to me instead of throwing a tantrum here and trying to get away with it."

"Your Highness..."

Nanny Jiang looked at the prince, whom she had breastfed, in disbelief. How could he really let a newcomer slap him in the face like this?

"Since Your Highness has said so, I will let Shu Qing investigate."

"It's your call, He Zhu. You and Shu Qing go together. I don't want to hear anyone gossiping about the Crown Princess."

"Yes, I understand."

Knowing that her hidden belongings were about to be discovered, Nanny Jiang turned pale and fainted.

"Fainted? This morning I discovered that my dowry was missing, and I haven't searched it out yet. How could Mammy faint? Come, throw some water on her to wake her up."

"yes."

The prince was a little confused. What dowry was missing? Hadn't Mu Sili always been with him? How could he not know that her dowry was missing? Could it be that Nanny Jiang had stolen her dowry?

A basin of cold water was poured on her, and Nanny Jiang woke up shivering.

When she saw the prince looking at her with anger and dissatisfaction in his eyes, her mind suddenly skipped a beat and she thought that what she had done had been discovered, so she opened her mouth and confessed everything.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I know I was wrong. I was blinded by greed for a moment, which is why I embezzled the money and property of Yuqing Palace.

I will ask Ling Pu to return the money I embezzled. Your Highness, please forgive me for the fact that I have served you well over the years."

The prince looked at her with a gloomy face. He really didn't expect that she really did these things. Thinking of what Mu Sili said about stealing her dowry, he decided to trick her.

"The Crown Princess's dowry is all recorded. How dare you steal it? The items in my private treasury are also recorded. How much did you steal?"
