"Prime Minister Meng seems to share this view today." Emperor Yuanwu paused, "but for the time being, there isn't a particularly suitable candidate."
Consort Shu, upon hearing Emperor Yuanwu's words, began to have other plans in mind.
In her next letter home, she must remind her father and mother to find a wife for her eldest brother as soon as possible.
Otherwise, someone will always be eyeing it.
"Why is there such a large box in the courtyard?" Emperor Yuanwu asked in confusion.
Mu Junhan felt a chill run down his spine: "Father, these are some fabrics that I brought back from the frontier. They are nothing special."
"Fabrics from the frontier?" Emperor Yuanwu seemed intrigued. "The frontier is a harsh and cold place. The people there suffer from war year after year. The court allocates funds to the frontier every year, which has become the largest expenditure of the national treasury. I would like to see what the people on the frontier wear on a daily basis."
Consort Shu's smile froze.
Thinking about the valuable materials packed in the box.
Emperor Yuanwu's words made her heart skip a beat.
Consort Shu moved her lips, just about to stop Emperor Yuanwu from opening the box.
Mu Junhan knelt on the ground, blocking Emperor Yuanwu's path: "Father, I have something to report about this matter."
As Mu Qianqian listened to Mu Junhan's words, she secretly bound herself in her heart.
What's so strange about this store?
[Isn't it just a money laundering place?]
Those officials embezzled government funds but had no other way to make money, so they set up this shop so they could claim it as their own profit.
That's how those corrupt officials in our backwater operate.
[The embezzlement is a minor issue; I suspect they already knew my second brother's identity.]
[Then they wanted to use my second brother to transport these poisoned fabrics to the palace.]
[I just examined it carefully. The strong fragrance that hit the box the moment it was opened is very likely not a fragrance at all, but rather the accumulated smell of poison that had been sealed for too long.]
I suspect the wood used to make this box was soaked in poison for a long time.
[If this fabric is used to store poison, it will become contaminated with the poison over time. If someone wears clothes made from this contaminated fabric, the poison will seep into their skin through direct contact.]
This method of poisoning is truly ruthless; it's practically like slow poisoning.
All those palace dramas I used to watch are totally lame.
Therefore, the best way to watch period dramas is to watch the live performance.
Of course, not everyone is as lucky as me.
[It's over! Barbie Q is here!]
My father has been investigating the problems on the frontier for ten days to half a month now, and he hasn't come back to Qiluan Garden to see me.
【I love it!】
I'm just having fun.
There's nothing left.
Upon hearing Mu Junhan's report, Emperor Yuanwu immediately issued a secret decree, ordering Lu Zhaofeng to lead a dozen trusted confidants to the border overnight and raid the silk shop.
To prevent things from getting complicated.
While on the frontier, Lu Zhaofeng interrogated the owner of the silk shop overnight.
More than one hundred government officials were implicated.
Since the incident involving Consort Zhuang's father, the Imperial Censor, this official position has remained vacant.
Emperor Yuanwu ordered Lu Zhaolin to serve as Imperial Censor and investigate corruption and bribery among frontier officials.
Lu Zhaofeng rushed to the frontier that very day.
The news spread quickly.
The next morning.
Just as Consort Shu got up, a woman's voice came from the direction of the palace gate.
