Chapter 369 It’s time to bring the Queen back. The harem cannot be without a master.
The servant's voice became even lower. "Prime Minister, the eldest daughter has been arrested. She was arrested by Prince Xiao... No, she was arrested by the Emperor's men. They are holding her at the gate of Prince Xiao's mansion. They say they want... want..."
"What should we do?" Yuan Dehai knew that something was wrong, and with murderous intent in his eyes, he asked anxiously.
The servant trembled with fear, "They said they want to publicly interrogate her because the emperor suspects that the young lady is a traitor and a spy..."
Yuan Dehai stumbled, and the butler beside him hurriedly supported him and asked him to sit back in the chair, "Prime Minister, be careful!"
After steadying Yuan Dehai, the steward turned to the servants and asked, "Where did this news come from? Is it credible?"
The servant nodded, "The news is absolutely true. It's almost spread everywhere now. The gate of Prince Xiao's mansion is full of people, waiting to see how the emperor's men will publicly interrogate the eldest lady!"
Yuan Dehai had recovered from his shock. Upon hearing this, he waved to the servant and instructed, "Go down first. Don't talk nonsense when you go out."
The servant nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I dare not say anything careless."
The servant thought: He doesn't have time to go out and talk nonsense. The eldest daughter has been captured by the emperor's men. He said he would publicly interrogate her. Isn't it also to deal with the prime minister? While he can still run, he must run quickly!
Fortunately, he did not sell himself when he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise, he would have suffered the same misfortune as the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After the servant left, he did not go anywhere but went straight to the servants' residence and took away the maidservant who was on leave today and was resting in the room.
The two men quietly slipped out from the back door without stopping and went straight out of the city gate. By the time the results of Yuan Luoling's public interrogation came out and the prime minister's entire family was sentenced to death, they had both run dozens of miles.
Starting from the Yuan family's treason, the entire imperial city was once again engulfed in a bloody storm. When people were in panic, some people discovered that many noble families had quietly declined.
However, those who found that something was wrong did not dare to speak out or ask more questions.
"Master, everything has been cleared. This is the list of all the people who have sneaked into our country through interrogation. Please have a look." Xiao Yi respectfully handed over a stack of lists, and his heartstrings, which had been tense for many days, finally relaxed.
After seven full days, their secret guard camp and the imperial guards worked together to uncover all the spies from other countries hiding in the imperial city.
Several noble families who were ready to make a move were also dealt with.
Although the purge process was difficult, the results were remarkable. Today, the imperial city is once again under the control of the master.
"Well, you have worked hard these past few days. Your salary this month will be doubled. Also, the two swords that you and Xiao Er have set their eyes on, you can go to the national treasury and get them yourself." Ji Xiaohan took the list, scanned it all, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Xiao Yi bowed and said happily, "Thank you, Master."
They didn't care much about whether their salary doubled or not, but he and Xiao Er had been coveting those two swords for a long time.
Ji Xiaohan looked at the hourglass on the desk and murmured, "Another half a month has passed. Princess must be missing me."
Xiao Yi: "..."
Master, it is you who misses the little princess, right?
If he hadn't been busy with the affairs in the palace for the past half month, he would have gone to find the little princess long ago.
Xiao Er smiled and said, "Now that the situation in the imperial city has been settled, it's time to bring the Empress back. The harem cannot be without a leader!"
Ji Xiaohan nodded, "Then tell the Ministry of Rites to make arrangements and welcome the Queen back according to the regulations."
