"Yeah, how can you come out casually after being imprisoned?"
"Have you forgotten? Today seems to be the anniversary of Concubine Rou's death. This is probably how King Cheng came into being..."
"Is this the point? The point is that Prince Cheng was convicted because Yang Zhao beat the drum to file a complaint with the emperor, leading to his imprisonment. Why is he now running to plead for mercy for the Marquis of Zhenbei? It's truly unbelievable."
"It's a bit strange indeed."
"However, from this, we can see that King Cheng is quite broad-minded. Just like he said just now, he doesn't want his loyal ministers to be wronged..."
Many ministers were discussing this in low voices.
Some even deliberately slowed down their pace to see how Emperor Wenyuan would react.
As a result, Mo Chen was beaten thirty times.
When leaving the palace, they were carried out...
Princess Yuchang's Mansion.
Princess Yu frowned upon hearing Mo Chen's unusual behavior. "Why would he go to the palace and cause such a commotion at this time? He's much more patient than an aunt like me. Let's go and find out what's going on."
"No need to check."
At this time, a tall and straight figure walked in from the door. He was wearing a crescent-white robe, which made Yunxi look very elegant and handsome, and also had a mature charm accumulated over the years.
When Princess Yu Chang saw Yun Xi coming in, her expression immediately softened. She stood up and greeted him: "A Xi, you're back."
Yunxi let her hold her hand.
After sitting in the main seat, he spoke calmly: "Yang Zhao is now in Prince Cheng's Mansion. The two of them must have joined forces. Most of the circulating money in the capital was sent to Prince Cheng's Mansion last night."
"What!"
Princess Yu was shocked: "Most of the capital's circulating money? What's going on?"
"That Yang Zhao is indeed more outstanding than her mother." Yunxi commented with a curled lip.
Princess Yu's expression suddenly darkened, a flicker of vigilance and jealousy flashing in her eyes: "Axi, what do you mean? Are you attracted to her?"
Upon hearing this, Yunxi glanced at Princess Yuchang.
Seeing the jealousy in her eyes, he smiled and reached out to rub her head, the action was like comforting a puppy: "Do you think I can be interested in a little girl?"
Princess Yu Chang leaned into his arms and pouted: "Who knows if you will like her face? After all... she looks quite similar to Qi Yue."
Because of this, he ordered her not to touch her.
Otherwise, why would she be allowed to live until now after all these years?
However, she was the one who secretly instigated Yang Zhao's marriage into the Shen family, and even secretly put some eye drops in Emperor Wenyuan's eyes, which led to Yang Zhao marrying into the Shen family.
But if she had known earlier that Yang Zhao had the identity of 'Duke Yang of Qi', she would never have let him live until now.
Yunxi knew how jealous Princess Yuchang was.
Looking at her ugly face filled with jealousy, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he lost his patience to coax her any further.
On the surface, he still maintained his elegant demeanor and said, "No matter how similar it is, it's not her."
This sentence did not make Princess Yuchang happy. Instead, she felt a bitter feeling as if she had been stabbed in the heart again.
As expected... he still couldn't forget that woman!
Even though she knew the result, she still couldn't help but ask questions, which hurt her heart every time. It was really ridiculous and pathetic.
Princess Yu left his embrace and, not wanting to continue the conversation, turned back to the main topic: "What did you mean by most of the capital's circulating silver and money just now?"
Yunxi glanced at her before saying, "In addition to mobilizing the capital's publicly visible assets and money, Yang Zhao also mobilized his private assets. If not for this, I really wouldn't have known that Yang Zhao had so many private assets. It's a pleasant surprise."
surprise?
Princess Yuchang always felt that these two words were strange.
However, she didn't think too much about it. Instead, she frowned and said, "So you mean, they joined forces?"
Princess Yu frowned: "But when did he get in touch with Yang Zhao?"
She didn’t even know this!!
Yunxi didn't answer, but instead said, "As soon as the Zhenbei Marquis got into trouble, he was able to join forces with Yang Zhao. This shows that this Cheng Wang has long been out of your control, but you still don't know it. You might as well investigate the people around you first."
"It's impossible for me to..."
Princess Yuchang suddenly thought of something, and her expression suddenly turned grim. "Okay, it seems he really did arrange someone around me. I underestimated him, and ended up raising an ungrateful person for myself."
Yunxi glanced at her, the corner of his mouth raised slightly: "Didn't you raise him in the name of supporting him? Now his wings have grown stronger than you imagined."
Princess Yuchang choked.
It was indeed she who secretly "supported" Mo Chen at the beginning. After all, she needed a hidden knife that was convenient for her, and the Eighth Prince Mo Chen was the most suitable one.
But she didn't expect it.
This knife will try to escape from control one day.
Princess Yuchang was a little annoyed, feeling that nothing was going well recently. According to her plan, she would hit the pillar and then the rest of the performance would go smoothly, but Yang Tiejiang's kick ruined it.
Yunxi asked her to send Yang Tiejiang to prison.
But he never explained how to proceed after doing that, which made her feel uneasy that she couldn't control the overall situation. Now, Mo Chen was also out of control...
This made her feel irritated.
"Axi, what should we do about this?"
Princess Yu Chang asked, "What do you want to do next? If you don't tell me, how can I cooperate with you?"
Yunxi glanced at Princess Yuchang and smiled, "What's the rush?"
"Prince Cheng has jumped out now. He wants to use the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion as a bridge to rise up. Naturally, we can use him to get rid of the Zhenbei Marquis, make Yang Zhao completely turn against the court, and disrupt the capital..."
Princess Yuchang was stunned.
"Disrupt the capital?"
"Otherwise, with your identity as the 'eldest princess', how do you think you can ascend to the throne? Only when the capital is in chaos enough, enough people die, and the foundation of the Mo Dynasty is completely cut off, will you really have a chance to fulfill your long-cherished wish." Yunxi said with a faint smile.
"But……"
"You don't believe me?"
"Believe me, I will definitely believe you."
Yun Xifeng patted Princess Yu's head and said soothingly, "Don't worry. Since I promised you something, I will definitely complete it for you. What you need to do next is to thoroughly prove the guilt of the Marquis of Zhenbei."
"This will take time." Princess Yuchang said, "General Meng has just left, I need some time to make arrangements..."
"Silly girl, you're not really planning to waste time arranging some evidence of your crime, are you?"
Princess Yuchang was confused: "Do you have a better idea?"
Yunxi smiled and moved closer to her: "Aren't your people very good at skinning people?"
