The Zichen Palace was filled with a low-pressure atmosphere.
Kang Yanming was someone that no one really paid much attention to; he seemed to have a reputation for being a good-for-nothing.
But a good-for-nothing can suddenly pull off a big heist.
No one would think he was that stupid. If he really was stupid, who wrote the memorial? Didn't he have any self-awareness?
Even if Longcheng County is given to Kang Yanming, it can be taken back! The reason is that it offends the imperial authority!
In fact, Grand Secretary Xu also thought that the Cui family was finished. Even the Emperor wasn't so old that he needed to live by reminiscing about her every day.
Princess Yongqing and the Crown Princess arrived at the same time.
The request was approved, but upon meeting, the person complained, "What are you doing coming in the rain?"
Without a word, Huan Yue rolled up his sleeves and said, "Where is he? Where is he? I'll beat him to death!"
Xie Zhou looked at his wife and said, "Kang Yanming is in Longcheng County."
Huan Yue was furious at his lack of self-respect: "How did the memorial even reach Sheng'an? And you dared to choose a time when His Highness was not here to offend the Emperor's eyes? Wasn't anyone in Sheng'an waiting to see the joke? Perhaps they are genuinely enjoying the laughter right now? How beautiful spring is!"
The color has changed again; investigate!
Kang Yanming and the Cui family are on good terms, so naturally they are relatives of the Cui family. The Cui family can't escape!
An imperial decree was issued, and the Imperial Guards surrounded the Cui family's residence!
Oh, right, there are still people watching Changchun Temple, let's go surround it together.
Huan Yue wasn't even sure if he was pregnant yet, and before he could finish rolling up his sleeves, Princess Yongqing pressed him down.
Huan Yue's imagination ran wild. He pulled the eldest princess closer to the emperor and said, "Could it be that Kang Yanming once had feelings for Cui Shi?"
The eldest princess's eyes widened suddenly!
Huan Yue ignored the emperor and whispered to the princess, "Cousins, how many people wouldn't like someone so beautiful? It's normal for some to like someone. Besides, what makes these cousins so special? Were they betrothed since birth? Cui doesn't approve. Kang Yanming isn't happy about it!"
Today, with a dark expression, he stared at Qing'e as she rambled on.
Xie Zhou was very worried about his wife, but he seemed to have taken his father's advice to heart, and besides, his wife was pregnant with a life-saving charm.
Therefore, Huan Yue went all out, not even letting others see his lip movements: "The world is unfair to women. I don't know how Kang Yanming treated Cui Shi, but he probably scared her quite a bit. Maybe he even threatened her after entering the Eastern Palace. If you could steal the Crown Prince's woman, especially the woman you like, I guess countless people would want that feeling."
I'm itching to beat her to death right now!
Princess Yongqing needs to be protected; this matter might actually be true.
Huan Yue said, "The Cui family is powerful, and Cui Shi and my cousin are on good terms, so it shouldn't be difficult for them to meet. Kang Yanming probably harbors resentment over his wife being taken away, or at least what he perceives as resentment. Even a nobody like him could pull off a big heist. Perhaps hearing about his cousin's tragic death has driven him even crazier. This matter can actually be investigated. Unless he's exceptionally meticulous, but Kang Yanming doesn't seem like it, he wouldn't have stayed in one county for so long."
A lack of rigor could lead to leaks.
So it shouldn't be difficult to find.
Why investigate this?
Because the imperial court essentially abandoned Longcheng County and didn't care about it anymore, the situation is still unclear.
Going there rashly could lead to a huge loss!
You should know that many people want to cause trouble.
If Kang Yanming is so ungrateful and colludes with the Da Shi Kingdom, then it's not just a matter of one county.
The past twenty years have been enough for him to control Longcheng County.
Huan Yue said, "The Cui family is particularly afraid and must send him far away and satisfy all his demands. Perhaps sending away a county is not a big deal."
He angrily retorted: "Shut up!"
Huan Yue finally shut up.
Princess Yongqing was terrified!
Don't say this story is captivating; wouldn't all flower pickers dare to go all the way to the Green Moth Palace?
If Kang Yanming had such a thieving heart, then it's hard to believe.
Huan Yue remembered something else and whispered to the Princess: "Women understand women best. Perhaps Dong already knows about Cui's affair. This is a handle, so we should keep Kang Yanming well, and maybe she can even keep a few for herself."
The eldest princess covered her mouth, telling her to stop talking.
Having said that, Huan Yue was truly done.
Otherwise, if things aren't handled properly, Empress Mingde might be implicated.
The Cui family has already braved the rain and run into the palace!
Princess Yongqing pulled Qing'e away!
Let the Emperor and Lady Cui handle their own affairs.
Xie Zhou first sent his wife and aunt back to Qing'e Palace, and then quickly returned to Zichen Palace.
He wanted to avoid it, but he was the crown prince. Besides, there were plenty of places to stay in the Zichen Palace. He also had to get to work now, otherwise his father would beat him up when he came to his senses.
The Dong family is not clean.
If the Cui family is also unclean, then it would be truly embarrassing.
Was the Emperor not good to Lady Cui?
But people can be hard to understand sometimes.
Just as her father favored one woman after another, Lady Cui was probably unwilling to accept this.
Or perhaps in a past life, Xie Zhou treated the Chang family badly? Some people are simply not human.
Now, let the Cui family bear the brunt of the Emperor's wrath!
Xie Zhou also sent someone to investigate whether Kang Yanming had done anything that would make him too complacent.
For example, is Kang Yanming's harem decorated somewhat like Kunyu Palace? Are the women's names similar to Cui's? Or do they look alike?
To put it more bluntly, Cui Shi almost became his woman, regardless of whether it was wishful thinking on his part.
Lady Cui was being targeted, but she dared not tell her father, the Emperor, because she was innocent.
But what happened later was not innocent.
Xie Zhou thought to himself that this situation needed to be changed.
The woman was targeted by a scoundrel; her reputation must not be affected.
Otherwise, the victim might be the man.
When women are left with no other choice, they may resort to selfish actions.
Cui may think she can cover it up, but as long as Kang Yanming is alive, this matter is not over.
It's also possible that Kang Yanming witnessed something Cui did; it wouldn't be surprising if that woman, Cui, did anything.
With this leverage, Kang Yanming can ask for anything else without missing out on asking for a beautiful woman.
Therefore, it's possible that the Cui family isn't entirely innocent.
Xie Zhou felt that his father must be very uncomfortable.
You must provide evidence when doing things.
If they suddenly come to the Cui family to investigate the relationship between Cui Shi and Kang Yanming, it will definitely cause a huge uproar and become known to everyone.
However, investigating Kang Yanming alone is not wrong, as it would also lead to the investigation of the Cui family.
The truth may be bloody, but it's better than being kept in the dark.
The Cui family is incredibly audacious to treat the emperor like a fool!
Xie Zhou heard a group of people kneeling and kowtowing inside the main hall. Yes, this world still belongs to the Xie family.
Xie Zhou only cares about his own empire; he'll grant any wish that someone wants to die!
In the wind and rain.
Someone came running with a letter.
He dared not go to the main hall, but showing it to His Highness was the same, and the Emperor almost tacitly approved.
The eunuch first opened the letter, read it once, and then handed it to His Highness.
Xie Zhou took the two thin sheets of paper with his slender hands, and was surprised to find that the handwriting was excellent!
The eunuch lowered his head. If this was written by Kang Yanming himself, or by the person who was manipulating things, then there was hope.
Sending such a letter to the sage might be a provocation; what could one expect from her?
The letter mentioned a once-in-a-century girl and a once-in-a-century sapling, but whether that's true or not is uncertain.
By the way, Master Taihua should know about the matter concerning the Cui family and Kang Yanming!
However, she must have been covering for Cui, otherwise she would be even more unclean.
