That day, Shen Yuyao and Xiao Xianbao both slept until noon!
"Zi Su, do you think our young lady can sleep so soundly? Last night at Jinxiu Garden, there was a lot of noise and commotion all night long."
Baizhi is one year younger than Perilla and has a more lively personality than Perilla.
He kept pestering Zi Su with questions all morning.
"As servants, we don't need to speculate too much about the princess's heart. We just need to do what the princess tells us to do."
"But when the prince chose Xu as his concubine, he promised that he would never take another concubine in his lifetime. What will happen to the woman in the side palace last night?"
[Ah! My scumbag father is actually going to take a concubine?]
[ Trash, scum, such a scumbag! When I learn to speak, I will make my mother run away.]
[My mother wanted to marry first and then fall in love, but ended up chasing her to the crematorium! ]
As soon as Shen Yuyao heard the little fairy's voice, she woke up completely instinctively.
Just as I was about to kiss the little fairy baby, I heard a noisy sound coming from outside the door.
"The princess and Princess Xiaoxian just woke up, what are you making so much noise for?" Bai Zhi lifted the curtain and went out to scold.
"Princess, Princess, something big has happened!" The young eunuch in the front hall stumbled and tried to rush into the inner room.
"What happened? You're in such a hurry, don't scare the little princess." Bai Zhi was about to scold again when she looked up and saw that this little eunuch was Xiao Xizi, who was sent to Prince Ning's Mansion a few days ago by the Duke's Mansion. They knew each other when they were in the Duke's Mansion.
Xiao Xizi trembled all over and said with his head down, "The Duke's Mansion has been ransacked!"
Bai Zhi was horrified and quickly let Xiao Xizi into the inner room.
"Princess, the Duke's Mansion was raided early this morning!" Xiao Xizi fell to his knees, his voice still trembling.
"Xiao Xizi, don't panic. Tell me what happened slowly."
Xiao Xizi was surprised by the princess's calm voice, as if she had known about this matter for a long time. Then she felt an inexplicable sense of security. After gathering her thoughts and swallowing the bitter taste in her mouth, Xiao Xizi raised her head and said with tears in her eyes:
"Little Huanzi from the Duke's Mansion just sent me news that less than an hour after the Duke went to court, the Supreme Court Minister led troops to defend the Duke's Mansion. They're currently turning the place upside down. The Supreme Court Minister said..."
"say what?"
"Speaking of the Duke, the criminal is plotting treason!"
My father had just arrived at the court, and here the Duke's Mansion was raided. Could it be that the Minister of the Dali Temple has the ability to predict the future?
Shen Yuyao's eyes turned cold. Even though she knew the plot in advance, she still felt terrified and helpless when she was really caught up in it.
[Mother, if there is any real danger, I will protect you even if it means destroying my own immortal roots...]
[I still need to find a way to inform my uncles not to risk returning to Beijing. Let's wait and see what concrete evidence the confiscation of property reveals... Alas, it's a pity I can't speak yet, otherwise I could have gotten through this ordeal safely...]
Shen Yuyao was extremely moved when she heard what the little fairy said. How lucky she was to have such a daughter!
Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. She opened her mouth, but no words came out.
Everyone thought the princess was frightened and started to offer suggestions.
"Princess, how about you tell the servant to report this to the prince, and ask him to help speak well of him to His Majesty and save the Duke?"
"Princess, how about I risk my life to rush into the Duke's Mansion and take the blame for the Duke's crime..."
If the prince wanted to save him, or was able to save him, how could such a house search and investigation happen?
The criminal was convicted of treason, a crime punishable by the death of nine generations of his family! How could a mere eunuch bear the consequences?
Shen Yuyao knew in her heart that although the suggestions made by these servants were absurd and naive, what was valuable was that they remained loyal at this time!
Shen Yuyao suppressed the turmoil in her heart, stood up and said slowly:
"Zi Su, go prepare the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone!"
"Xiao Xizi, go back to the front hall and continue waiting. If you have any new news, report it immediately!"
"Baizhi, go and count my dowry and the little princess's rewards, and keep them ready for use at any time."
"The other servants, eunuchs, and maids, all do their jobs well and refrain from making comments."
Seeing that the princess was calm as usual, everyone was surprised, but they instantly felt confident and acted as instructed.
After everyone in the room had left, Shen Yuyao felt her scalp tingling and she suddenly fell into the chair.
[Mother is truly so brave... Xiaoxian, I love you so much...]
Shen Yuyao felt that every time she heard the little fairy's voice, she was like being injected with chicken blood... and instantly revived with full health.
She picked up her pen and wrote three secret letters, the first of which was to her other close friend, the emperor's third daughter, the current Princess Yongning.
The letter only said that he had learned that his family had been framed, and hoped that the princess could help to take care of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple so that his family members would not suffer too much in prison.
Shen Yuyao knew that the princess could not overturn the Duke's Mansion's conviction for the crime of treason, but at least she could do her best to take care of the elderly, the weak, the women and the children in the mansion.
The second letter was written to the third brother, asking him to liquidate the properties under his name across the country and convert most of them into cash to prepare for emergencies.
In addition, she asked her third brother to send a letter by carrier pigeon to her two brothers at the border, and she wrote down in detail what precautions the two brothers needed to take.
He also specially circled the most important sentence in cinnabar: You are not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict!
Shen Yuyao knew clearly that no matter when, where or what the situation, sufficient wealth could solve most problems.
As long as the two brothers guard the border well and control the military power, the emperor will be more or less wary of them!
Although Daxia is now a powerful country, there are still frequent foreign invasions on the border, and the emperor will not easily kill military generals and meritorious officials.
After writing the three secret letters, Shen Yuyao took out three ingots of gold and handed them to Zi Su, saying:
"Find three reliable and loyal servants. No matter how much it costs, they must deliver it as quickly as possible!"
After Zi Su responded, he hurried out of the room.
In the court of Daxia.
"Bang" The emperor was throwing several memorials onto an old general in military uniform who was kneeling on one knee in front of the hall.
"Chen Ao, look at these. They are all memorials impeaching you. Do you have anything to say?"
"This old minister has absolutely no intention of rebellion. I beg Your Majesty to be discerning!"
After returning home from the full moon banquet in the palace, his wife had told him about his daughter's worries. Although he thought it was ridiculous at the time, he knew his daughter's words were true after checking his study and seeing the evidence of the frame-up.
But there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart.
After all, the current emperor had risen from the bottom with me.
Even if those treacherous villains framed him, the emperor would never suspect that Shen Ao would rebel.
Now that the emperor suddenly attacked, Shen Ao was stunned for a moment!
This little bit of luck almost brought disaster to the entire mansion.
Shen Ao felt cold sweat all over his body, and it felt icy cold.
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of rebellion... Lord He's accusation of my fourth son secretly marrying a princess from an enemy nation is a misunderstanding. My fourth son was betrothed to the second daughter of Lord Chen, the Minister of Revenue, when he was young. Your Majesty is well-informed."
Fortunately, I made arrangements in advance, otherwise I would be speechless today.
"Your Majesty, the Dali Temple Minister Liu, who raided the Duke's Mansion, has returned..."
"Pass it!"
"Summon the Minister of Justice, Lord Liu, to the palace..."
