Chapter 165 The Right Prime Minister is back
"Then let's wait for Cai Xun's confession. Sun is a foolish woman, not qualified to command the assassination.
If this is really the work of the Xie family, then someone must be helping her."
The emperor nodded: "I think so too."
Prince Jin's Mansion.
Prince Jin and his concubine Xiao were also discussing this matter.
"Did the Xie family do it?"
Xiao's charming face was full of doubts.
If Yu Zhan were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize that this Xiao was the person he had seen exposed that day.
Prince Jin nodded at the head and asked, "Are you still thinking of joining forces with the Xie family?
What kind of smart person is capable of doing such a stupid thing?"
Xiao smiled sweetly and shook her head, saying, "That's wrong. Stupid people have their own ways.
Sometimes, a smart person racking their brains is not as good as a stupid person’s sudden inspiration.”
The King of Jin looked sideways and said, "Oh, then what do you think?"
"The cooperation with the Xie family is still being discussed as usual. It will be of great use at the critical moment." Xiao said confidently.
The King of Jin did not refute after hearing this.
…
When Feng Shenyu returned home, Yan Tai told him that Li Yueyao had returned to her home early in the morning.
Yan Tai had already packed up all of Feng Shenyu's things and was waiting for him to come back, ready to send them all to Li Yueyao's house.
Feng Shenyu was very satisfied to see that the inkstone was put away.
In this way, the group went to Li Yueyao's house again.
The curious people in Beijing were all blocking the intersection of the street where Li Yueyao's mansion was, looking inside.
Feng Shenyu and his group were allowed to pass smoothly by the Qianyu Guards, and then entered the Grand Princess's Mansion openly.
"Yeah, I'm betting for a month, 50-to-1, hahahaha... I'm rich, I'm rich..."
"Hurry, hurry, go to the gambling house to exchange money, hahaha..."
Some people also lamented: "Ah, it's only the last day, Your Highness, can't you wait one more day?"
"What are you talking about? Don't you wish His Highness well?"
"No, I've been betting for three months now, right? I've lost a ton of money..."
Among the people at the street corner, there were those who were excited, those who were regretful, and those who were just watching the fun, but there was no one who did not hope that the two would reconcile.
Before noon, the entire capital knew that the Right Prime Minister and the Grand Princess of Jinyang had reconciled.
The Right Prime Minister moved into the princess's mansion again with his belongings.
The sky is clear, the rain has stopped, and the Right Prime Minister is doing well again!
The virtuous concubine in the palace was overjoyed when she heard the news.
"Chunyun, Chunyun, hurry up and take the Fourth Prince to the gambling house and get back the money I won."
The emperor was lying in a rocking chair next to him reading a book. He turned around when he heard it.
"What silver? How can we let Heng'er go to the gambling house? Be careful of the censor's impeachment."
The virtuous concubine was excited and waved her hand casually:
"When he was a child, he was often taken to the gambling house by the Right Prime Minister. He was always in disguise, so he couldn't be recognized. Don't worry."
The emperor was stunned. "When you were a child? Often?"
"Um... not often, except when he went to the Su family." Concubine Xian quickly made amends.
The emperor reached out and touched Concubine Xian’s forehead: “You.
I used to go there often when I was little, and now I'm still taking my kids there. I don't act like a mother at all."
The virtuous concubine was happy about the money she won and didn't care at all about the emperor's personal affairs.
The gambling houses in Beijing cashed in on the gamble that day with unprecedented grandeur. The game that had been noisy for a month finally came to an end.
Li Huaiyu looked at the big bag of banknotes in his hand, wondering whether he should give the money to that ice-faced man?
Did the people of the capital know that it was the Right Prime Minister who set up the gambling game himself, placed the bets himself, and then controlled the outcome himself, making a fortune...
Li Huaiyu: Bah, so shameless.
I won’t give him any money, just consider it as my own errand fee for this month.
After the two reconciled, their lives returned to normal, but Feng Shenyu became even more attached to Li Yueyao.
Li Yueyao sometimes gets so annoyed that she wants to hit someone.
Whenever Li Yueyao had this thought, Feng Shenyu would look at her with a pitiful expression, and Li Yueyao would soften her heart.
Feng Shenyu discovered a way to deal with his own queen, and he used this trick with great ease.
The court officials were very happy that they could go back to the princess's residence to discuss matters.
Because the snacks and meals in the princess's mansion are more delicious than those in the palace, and even the maps and sand tables are very detailed.
There are also exquisite charcoal pencils and feather pens that can be carried with you, which are surprising and exquisite.
The first person to come was naturally Li Huaiyu.
After coming in, he walked up to Li Yueyao and asked her many questions, showing great concern.
Finally, seeing Feng Shenyu's expression as if he wanted to drive him away, he quickly got to the point.
"I've been following Wang Lang for several days and discovered a big secret of his."
When Li Yueyao and Feng Shenyu heard this, they became alert and listened attentively.
Li Huaiyu took a sip of tea and said, "Wang Lang is the youngest son of Wang Chengyun, the head of the Wang family."
Feng Shenyu said, "He is Wang Chengyun's youngest son. Your wife Wang is related to him. They..."
Li Yueyao didn't know about this before, but now she was stunned after hearing such a big gossip.
"Your wife Wang... and Wang Lang?" Li Yueyao asked stutteringly.
Li Huaiyu said expressionlessly, "Aunt, my nephew investigated the spies and found Wang Shi. Finally, he followed her and found that she was in cahoots with Wang Lang."
Li Yueyao didn't know what to say after hearing this.
Is it possible that all of my nephews are cuckolded?
"Go on." Feng Shenyu said.
"Wang Lang is Wang Chengyun's youngest son, and his real name is Wang Qi.
Wang Qianning is not Wang Chengyun’s biological daughter at all, but an orphan he adopted.
Wang Lang and Wang Qianning grew up together and had been in love with each other for a long time, but the head of the Wang family insisted on marrying Wang Qianning to me.
The two of them were like a pair of star-crossed lovers, separated by me."
Li Huaiyu said this, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"So I thought Wang Lang must have been instructed by Wang Chengyun, so I sent people to continue following Wang Chengyun.
Last night, my people discovered that Wang Chengyun had gone to see the Minister of Rites."
Feng Shenyu nodded: "We suspected the Minister of Rites before, and now we can link them together.
The man behind the Wang family is the Minister of Rites Ruan Anhe."
"By the way, my people also heard a piece of news. The Minister of Rites and Wang Chengyun mentioned Concubine Qi in the palace."
Li Yueyao sneered and said, "I said there was something wrong with this Lady Qi, and it turns out there really is something wrong."
"What else did you hear?" Li Yueyao asked.
Li Huaiyu shook his head.
"So now it means that the Wang family, the Minister of Rites, the Vice Minister of Rites, and Concubine Qi are all on the same line.
"So, are they connected to Hua Qingfeng, Jin Yucheng, Boss Man, and the other people on this line?" Li Yueyao asked.
"Wang's nanny had contact with Hua Qingfeng, but no connection has been found with the others yet." Li Huaiyu said.
Feng Shenyu thought for a moment and said, "Continue investigating the connection between the Minister of Rites, Concubine Qi, and the Wang family.
The military officials over at Boss Man's side are investigating, and we should have news in the next two days."
Li Huaiyu nodded.
After Li Huaiyu left, Feng Shenyu sent someone to the Ministry of War to call Yang Jin over.
When Yang Jin heard that it was the Right Prime Minister who was looking for him, he knew it was still about the group of spies from Yongtong Gate.
So he hurried over with his men.
"Didn't your people go up to Wan'an Mountain? What's the situation now?"
When Yang Jin heard this, he began to frown.
"Right Prime Minister, this Wan'an Mountain is a big problem. Our Captain Yang San followed that Boss Man up Wan'an Mountain four days ago.
It has disappeared since then. We sent people to look for it on the mountain, but found nothing.
The army sent out night scouts to follow the trail all the way to the back of Wan'an Mountain, where they lost track.
Feng Shenyu frowned and thought for a moment before saying:
"Among the people sent, are there any people who are proficient in Qimen Dunjia or Fengshui?"
