Emperor Mingyan hesitated for a moment, then called someone in and asked, "How is it?"
Yan Chengyuan whispered, "Those people confessed that they were from the Copper Coin Alley in the West Market. They took four thousand taels of silver from a woman and wanted to buy Enfu's life. I..."
"Asshole!" Emperor Ming Yan was furious at the time: "You are such a good commander of the imperial guards! Four thousand taels can buy the life of a noblewoman! Four thousand taels can kill people openly in the capital! If someone wants to buy my life, do these people dare to accept it?"
These words were too harsh, and Yan Chengyuan knelt down in a hurry.
Emperor Ming Yan was sitting on the couch at this moment. Tang Shiyue was uncomfortable with Yan Chengyuan's courtesy and wanted to get up.
Emperor Ming Yan held her down, turned around and scolded Yan Chengyuan: "Get out! Do you want to shorten Yue'er's life span?"
Yan Chengyuan's body suddenly stiffened.
He slowly raised his head and looked at Emperor Ming Yan, then looked at Tang Shiyue, then he stood up, bowed his head calmly and said, "Yes."
Emperor Mingyan said: "Keep talking!"
Yan Chengyuan said: "I have checked and found that this woman is most likely my rebellious daughter Yan Tingyue."
...
...
Emperor Ming Yan sneered.
"That's not right," Tang Shiyue couldn't help but raise her hand and said, "She doesn't have that ability."
She handed the cup of milk tea to Wei Xin and said, "I've actually thought about this. There shouldn't be many people in this world who want to kill me. Those who are capable will make their own decisions, and those who don't know how to make their own decisions probably won't have the ability to do so."
Emperor Ming Yan felt inexplicably embarrassed, after all, there was the matter of the third prince.
Tang Shiyue continued, "You know, if it's just one person, there are many reasons for killing, but if it's many people, there's only one reason, profit. But this is Chang'an City! I'm a third-rank lady after all, and many people know that I have dragon guards around me... So, how much profit does it take to buy these people to take such a risk?"
Emperor Ming Yan and Yan Chengyuan certainly understood this truth and nodded in unison.
Tang Shiyue murmured, "Something is wrong. There must be something wrong with this matter. There must be a big problem..." As she thought about it, she asked, "Aye, if I die, what will be the consequences?"
Emperor Mingyan glared at her and said, "Don't you dare to talk nonsense again!"
Yan Chengyuan looked at him and replied, "The emperor will be furious and will search the entire city."
"What else?"
"Qinzhou will have some movement?" Yan Chengyuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is it because of this?"
Tang Shiyue shook her head: "It still doesn't seem right..."
She murmured softly, "One of them had set up a stall near my home, which means they must have been watching me for a long time and have figured out my situation. They want to kill me instead of arresting me. If they care about 'Empress Fu', they would not kill people so directly... And why are they in such a hurry? It's as if it will be useless if it's too late."
She paused, as if talking to herself: "I heard them talking. They said that if we can't kill her today, it will be hard to find another chance! For the sake of our money jar, I will search this place thoroughly to find her!"
Wait! Money jar?
The word "money jar" actually has a sense of continuity in its meaning, as if you can keep taking money out... Anyway, if they are charging money to do a job, a one-time deal, normally they would never say "money jar".
Emperor Ming Yan and Yan Chengyuan both looked at her and saw that the little girl had her eyes closed, her brows furrowed, and her expression very serious.
Then she suddenly thought of something and her expression suddenly relaxed.
She opened her eyes and gave a sly smile: "If I die, almost all of my businesses will be suspended, including... Deshan Garden."
Her smile suddenly widened, and she turned to Emperor Mingyan and said, "Congratulations, Father. Please send someone to check the Tashan Mountain behind. Either there is a treasure hidden in that mountain, or... it was originally a treasure mountain!"
An hour later, Yan Chengyuan came hurriedly to report: "Your Majesty, there is silver in the mountains! A huge silver mine!"
Tang Shiyue was very proud and shook his little head, feeling that he was truly the reincarnation of Zhuge Liang.
Emperor Ming Yan's expression was somewhat complicated.
Surprisingly, she guessed it right.
Just by looking at the three words "money jar", one can guess what this is... This kid is really too smart, too smart...
Emperor Ming Yan sighed and put his hand on her little head.
If it were normal times, he would be very happy to hear the news about the silver mine, but at this time, she had suffered a disaster, and he really couldn't be happy. There were only four words lingering in his mind: "Extreme wisdom will lead to harm."
Emperor Ming Yan said in a gentle voice: "Yuer, I know you are smart, but I would rather you be stupid, live peacefully, and grow up by my side."
Tang Shiyue was stunned.
She pulled his sleeve and said, "Don't worry, Aye! I escaped unscathed from the pursuit of so many people... and this is not the first time. Doesn't this prove that I am blessed? I will definitely live a hundred years and annoy Aye for a long time. When I am a hundred years old and write big characters, Aye will still sigh and circle them for me!"
Emperor Ming Yan laughed and shook his head.
Yan Chengyuan said calmly: "Your Majesty, this silver mine seems to have been discovered for quite some time. Judging from the traces, it has been there for at least ten years. But after all, it is in the capital, and it is not easy to mine. It seems that not much has been taken away."
Emperor Mingyan said coldly, "Investigate! The people who collected the silver are the ones who want to kill my Yue'er!"
Yan Chengyuan obeyed the order and left.
Emperor Ming Yan still had to arrange things to do with the silver mine.
Before leaving, he said to Tang Shiyue, "Cheng Yuan has a cold temper. Although he seems a little unkind, he actually has a good heart. I scolded you for worrying about Ding Jiu and Wei Xin. You really have the same temper as Cheng Yuan. He valued friendship too much, so he adopted Yan Liangchou as his adopted son. Now that the family is in turmoil, he has never touched Yan Liangchou. In the final analysis, it is for this kindness..."
Tang Shiyue knew that the emperor was worried about his brother again and was worried that she would not recognize him, so she nodded: "I know! I never dislike people who are cold on the outside but warm on the inside. My Ah Jing is such a person!"
Emperor Ming Yan's expression changed quickly: "Is Huo Qijing also such a person?"
She nodded: "Yes!"
Emperor Ming Yan: "..."
Humph! I will not mediate for you! Emperor Ming Yan left unhappily.
Tang Shiyue thought about it, and asked someone to send a message to Yan Chengyuan, asking him to come over when he has time.
Such a big thing had just happened in the capital, and at this moment, Yan Chengyuan was afraid that even if he was chopped into eight pieces, it would not be enough. However, Yan Chengyuan came over in just over half an hour after the letter was delivered.
Tang Shiyue invited him in with a smile and said to him, "I invited Commander Yan here today for two main reasons. One is to thank Commander Yan for saving my life... The second is to ask Commander Yan for a favor."
Yan Chengyuan asked: "What's the matter?"
