Yaoguang Yuesheng stared at the roof helplessly, recalling the plot carefully.
The four of them, father and son, seemed to be chatting but they were listening with their ears perked up.
[This is really frustrating! The fake medicine was burned, but the crisis hasn't been resolved. Could it be that there were some fake medicines that were missed? I think the plot mentioned this, what's going on?]
When Yao Guangyue thought of this, the four people stopped talking for a moment and all lay down to listen to Yao Guangyue's inner voice.
The sudden silence made Yao Guangyue stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help but ask back.
[Why are you all staring at me?! Am I that cute?]
[It should be a little bit cute, hahahaha! ]
【Beauty has a short life~Alas.】
The four of them, father and son, curled their lips awkwardly and chatted about meaningless topics.
"Father, the weather has been nice these past few days. You should really go out for a walk more often when you have time."
"Haha, my legs hurt, I should go out for a walk more often!"
…
[As the ruler of a nation, your Majesty, don't you have any national affairs to discuss?!]
Yao Guangyue felt that she was really worried sick. If they were older, she would jump up and slap them a few times.
[Let me think about it. In the plot, the Third Prince discovered the fake medicine and burned a large amount of it. But unexpectedly, his subordinates accepted bribes and let a batch of fake medicine go.]
[However, the original plot didn't mention the three princes attacking simultaneously, so while that might have messed up the plot, it's hard to completely destroy it with such a powerful plot... I hope my brothers can do better. I really don't want to die young.]
The four of them remained calm and played with Yao Guangyue for a long time.
After Yao Guangyue fell asleep, the emperor carefully put her back into the cradle.
However, when the eldest prince was about to leave, he accidentally knocked over a vase.
The crisp and violent sound instantly woke Yao Guangyue up.
[Ah! I was so scared! Was it struck by lightning?!]
The eldest prince didn't know whether there was thunder striking from the sky or not, he only knew that his father's thunder was about to strike.
The next morning, the eldest prince dragged his butt, which had been kicked hard, and followed his two brothers to carefully explore the major pharmacies.
Finally, some inferior medicinal materials were found in a pharmacy owned by the third prince.
Strictly speaking, these medicinal herbs are not fake drugs, they are just made of inferior materials and their medicinal properties are not that strong.
But they were placed among high-quality medicinal herbs and sold at sky-high prices.
After discovering this, the third prince became furious and arrested everyone in the pharmacy.
After being tortured, they learned that it was the third prince's uncle who ordered the medicinal materials and they were only responsible for selling them.
After hearing the confession, the eldest prince leaned back in his chair lazily and sneered, "Third brother, your mother's family is really good at setting a trap for you. They even dare to give away such ill-gotten gains."
The third prince looked a little embarrassed and just rolled his eyes at his eldest brother.
"It's better than having some people's eyes on the top of their heads. I don't know who scared the princess yesterday."
The second prince sat between the two of them, unwilling to be ignored, and drank his tea slowly.
"Don't blame each other, one of you didn't do your job well, and the other disturbed my little sister. You will suffer in the future."
Just like that, the close brothers who had been eating and living together a few days ago, fell apart today and each was busy cleaning up the snow in front of their own door.
The third prince quickly arrested his uncle and after questioning him, he found out that his uncle had indeed been using inferior medicinal materials as substitutes for genuine ones in order to get kickbacks.
After being discovered by the Third Prince, he still didn't know he was wrong, and he argued with his neck stiff: "I did this for you!"
The third prince looked coldly at his relatives in front of him. His uncle had lived a good life in recent years. He had a big belly and his face had become rounder.
His body was covered with piles of silk and satin, and the jade pendants and gold beads on his waist clashed. Even a prince wouldn't dare to be so ostentatious, so how could a mere merchant dare?
"My uncle said it was for this king, so why not explain what you have done for this king?"
The man kneeling on the ground stood up confidently and said in a high voice, "Of the three princes, you are the youngest and have the least chance of winning. If I didn't have enough money to help you bribe people, would you be where you are today?"
The third prince sneered and smashed the table next to him with a palm.
"How dare you say that? When I was arranging things, did I ever use your money? The only time I asked you to pay was when I helped you rescue your unfilial son."
A hint of guilt flashed across the man's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"Isn't he your brother too? When you ascend the throne and become emperor, he will be your helper. Can you manage such a vast empire by yourself? You need the help of our family."
The third prince was so angry that he laughed. He had originally thought of letting him go, but now there was no need to do that.
"Do you want to help me, or do you want to turn me into a puppet? Don't think I don't know. You are using my name to grab territory. If your crimes are exposed, I will be the first to die!"
"This time, the emperor personally ordered a thorough investigation into the fake medicine incident. Even with me standing in the way, none of you can escape."
The third prince was about to leave after he finished speaking, but was stopped by his uncle. Fortunately, the third prince was always decisive and he slapped the man away and left.
A few days later, the third prince's uncle's house was raided and a large amount of gold and silver was added to the national treasury.
The emperor couldn't help but sigh a few times.
"I really didn't expect that the Shen family is so wealthy. If their property is confiscated, the national treasury will be full."
When the emperor said this, the imperial concubine was sitting next to him holding Yao Guangyue.
Under the high platform, the third prince and his mother knelt down to apologize.
