That night, Mo Yu brought news, "Your Highness, we've found out. Those three hundred people are in a dense forest in a valley outside the city... They are from the Prime Minister's residence."
Yun Qingluo raised an eyebrow and deliberately uttered two words, "The Mu family?"
Mo Yu shook his head and said, "It's not the Mu family, it's the Qi family, people from the Left Prime Minister's residence."
Just as I guessed.
The Mu family is the residence of the Right Prime Minister. According to the memories of the previous life, the family is very low-key. There are no women who enter the palace to become concubines, nor are there any generals who go out to fight. Only the eldest daughter of the Mu family is known as the number one talented woman in the capital, and her reputation is known throughout the capital.
She had little impression of the Right Prime Minister's residence, but she was particularly impressed by the Left Prime Minister's residence, as the Left Prime Minister was the Empress and the Third Prince's backer.
She suddenly had a flash of inspiration and understood why they kept private soldiers.
"Mo Yu, take the guards and keep watch over those people. Notify me immediately if there are any abnormalities."
"An Jiu, you personally guard the people in the manor, especially those in charge, to prevent them from leaking information or tipping off others."
"Sir, I'll have the guards escort you back to the Prince's manor. You need to quickly mobilize a group of trustworthy tenant farmers to this estate. There must be some unregistered tenants who have slipped through the cracks in each estate, so start with them, and don't let anyone notice a clue."
"Alright, Mo Yu, you should take the master back first, then tell the steward about this and ask him to help with the transfer. The steward definitely knows the Prince's estate better."
Seeing the seriousness in Yun Qingluo's eyes, the group agreed and turned to leave.
Yun Tao poured Yun Qingluo a cup of tea. "Your Highness, why are you in such a hurry to find tenant farmers? Weren't you not in a hurry before?"
Yun Qingluo took a sip of tea and guessed, "The Third Prince has been deposed. The Prime Minister's Mansion wants to support other princes, so naturally they want to get rid of the Prince and gain military power."
I suspect the young men in this manor were trained to be like the Mo family army of yesteryear, in order to frame the prince.
Yun Qingluo felt uncomfortable; her rebirth had truly changed many things.
If things had gone according to the previous life, the Empress hadn't died, and the Third Prince hadn't been deposed, the Prime Minister and his group wouldn't have pulled this stunt. The power grab would have been planned by the Empress and the Third Prince, and they wouldn't have needed to intervene at all.
But now only one prince remains, and naturally many things have changed.
Yun Tao still didn't understand, "But the Mo family army has already been found by the prince, and there aren't that many people. Besides, no matter how they try to frame someone, the prince can just deny it."
