The emperor knew with his feet that it must be those people, but he only had six princes who grew up, and each one was very precious.
If the case is discovered publicly, it will be bad if no action is taken. Therefore, the emperor wants to return to the palace first and take this time to think it over.
Of course, the emperor's intention of not investigating does not mean that he will not investigate at all, but he will not investigate openly. If he does not go through the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, the secret guards will still investigate.
If you do something wrong, there will definitely be a price to pay. The emperor just hasn't decided whether to make a big deal out of it.
The Emperor had come for this spring hunt with great enthusiasm, but returned disappointed. So, on the way back, he wasn't as relaxed as he had been on the way there, but instead was constantly rushing along.
Even Zhou Qiongyue, who was not prone to carriage sickness, managed to vomit three times. When she saw the gate of Yuan'an, Zhou Qiongyue finally felt like she was alive again.
Looking at the city gate of Yuan'an, Zhou Qiongyue had only one thought in her mind at this moment, that she would not go to the autumn hunt this year no matter how lively it was.
She thought Yuan An was very good, very good. However, she touched the things she treasured and thought that with her grandfather's promise for this spring hunt, she could prepare to buy the farm, which seemed to be extremely worthwhile.
Marquis Cheng'en and his men had to follow them into the palace first and return only after the ceremony was over. However, families like Zhou Qiongyue could quietly leave the group and return home after entering Yuan'an City.
Zhou Qiongyue entered Yuan'an City and saw someone leaving the team, so she couldn't wait to follow suit. She originally thought he was going back alone, but she didn't expect that her eldest brother Zhou Zhiyi would catch up with her before her carriage had gone far.
"Brother, why did you follow me? Does grandpa or father have something to tell you?" Zhou Qiongyue was not one to make things difficult for herself. If she didn't understand something, she would just lift the curtain of the carriage and ask directly!
Seeing his sister like this, Zhou Zhiyi dismounted, handed the reins to the servant, and got on his sister's carriage.
"It's okay, big brother will go back with you." Zhou Zhiyi knew that his sister had vomited several times on the way, so how could he feel at ease letting her go back home alone? His grandfather and father were also worried.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't want to delay her elder brother's work because of herself. "I can do it on my own. I feel much better after entering Yuan'an City. Besides, I have so many people around me to serve me. I don't need my elder brother anymore. You should stay with father!"
Zhou Zhiyi listened to his sister finish these words with doting eyes, and then he sat down opposite his sister. Since he came here, he had no intention of leaving.
He didn't hold an official position, so strictly speaking, he was considered a family member, so it didn't matter whether he went or not. It was enough for his grandfather and father to go with him.
As for the chance of being seen by the Emperor, he was already furious! Who could he possibly see? It would be more comfortable for him to accompany his sister back home.
After Zhou Qiongyue finished speaking, she saw her elder brother sitting in the carriage with no intention of leaving. She could only helplessly call out, "Brother."
Zhou Zhiyi felt that his sister was too sensible. If it were another young lady, she would wish her father and brother were with her at all times. He felt warm and a little distressed at the same time:
"Don't worry, sister. It's okay for your brother to go back with you. Let's go back to see mom as soon as possible. I miss her so much."
When Zhou Qiongyue heard what her elder brother said, she knew he was serious. She stopped asking him to leave and instead moved to sit next to him, muttering softly:
"Brother, someone's house will be confiscated this time! I want to take this opportunity to buy a farm. Do you think it's feasible?"
Zhou Zhiyi laughed when he heard this. It turned out that his sister was planning this.
Zhou Qiongyue was a little unconvinced, feeling that her elder brother looked down upon her. "Brother, what are you laughing at?"
Zhou Zhiyi made a cup of tea for his sister and handed it to Zhou Qiongyue. After watching his sister hold it steady, he casually said, "I'm afraid it won't work if you buy it alone. There are so many nobles in Yuan'an eyeing it!
Everyone knows this is a great opportunity to buy property, and the government is probably eyeing it too. "When the time comes, they'll probably try to grab it too."
"Oh." When Zhou Qiongyue heard her elder brother say this, she knew that she was taking it for granted, but she still wanted to give it a try. When the time comes, she will wait for her second cousin to leave the palace and then go and ask him for help.
Zhou Qiongyue felt that privileges were something that would become invalid after expiration. After all, it wasn't like she wasn't paying or paying less.
She felt that her second cousin would definitely be able to do it, after all, who could be more noble than the royal family!
Not only Zhou Qiongyue thought so, but Xie Zixin, the heroine of Xuanping Marquis Mansion, also thought so. However, Xie Zixin didn't know that a huge shock was waiting for her.
Anyone who is born again may make a fatal mistake, always thinking that everything is under control.
In fact, Zhou Qiongyue and the heroine were so anxious to buy the farm because of the drought two years later.
Zhou Qiongyue remembered this incident because it was described in great detail in the novel. It almost led to the relocation of the capital of Tianyuan Kingdom, and the emperor even issued an edict of remorse.
Zhou Qiongyue felt that now that she knew about this, she would definitely find a way to ensure that the Cheng'en Marquisate survived this disaster safely. She didn't think she had any ability to save the world, nor did she want to be seen as a demon or a savior.
But the heroine is different. She wants to store enough food so that she can earn credit for herself and make the Second Prince not dare to look down on her in the future.
Seeing his sister holding the tea, Zhou Zhiyi took a sip and then sat there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about. Zhou Zhiyi shook his head lovingly, he didn't understand what the little girl was thinking about all day.
He did not disturb his sister's daze, but leaned casually against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes and dozed for a while. He was also tired after riding fast all the way.
Fortunately, the streets in Yuan'an City are paved with stone slabs, and the carriages can run fast and smoothly, without affecting anything.
When Zhou Zhiyi and his sister arrived at the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, the carriage drove directly into the inner house through the main gate.
Zhou Zhiyi helped Zhou Qiongyue get off the carriage carefully, and then took everyone directly to his grandmother's yard, to the Xinyuan.
When they come back from outside, the first thing they have to do is pay their respects to their grandmother. This is the rule.
On the way to Youxinyuan, Zhou Zhiyi whispered to Zhou Qiongyue, "Sister, don't say anything later. I'll just talk."
Zhou Zhiyi gave this instruction because he was afraid that his grandmother would make things difficult for his sister and make her sad.
Zhou Qiongyue knew what her eldest brother meant and nodded without hesitation. Grandmother still liked her eldest brother, the eldest grandson of the eldest house, very much because the concubine from the third house didn't like her.
Zhou Qiongyue had no intention of trying to please her grandmother. She didn't like to put her warm face on someone else's cold butt. If she didn't like it, then she didn't like it. It didn't matter. If her grandmother didn't like her, she didn't like her grandmother either!
Seeing that his sister agreed, Zhou Zhiyi didn't say anything else. The brother and sister silently went straight to Youxinyuan, the home of the old lady of Marquis Cheng'en.
