Chapter 165 Husband, See You Tomorrow
Qi Yanzhou asked Ye Chutang to come out, firstly to discuss tomorrow's exile, and secondly to tell her about the weapons in Prince An's Mansion.
Seeing that she asked, he said, "The emperor already knows that Zhao Mingxu has the intention of rebellion, and has summoned him to the palace. The result will be known before the sun sets."
Ye Chutang asked curiously, "How did you get people to dig up the stables at Prince An's mansion?"
"Huai Xuan is the last disciple of the Imperial Observatory. It is very easy for him to ask the Imperial Observatory to calculate the emperor's doom and point out the specific location."
"So that's how it is. The emperor is cowardly and selfish. He will definitely not let Zhao Mingxu off easily."
Qi Yanzhou nodded in agreement, "If the emperor confirms that Ye Jingchuan has stockpiled weapons for the second prince, their fate will not be good."
"Add to that the evidence of cheating in the imperial examinations, and the second prince will soon be exiled."
"It is not appropriate to expose the cheating in the imperial examination for the time being. If the Second Prince completely loses power, the Crown Prince will be the only one in power, and the situation in the court will be unbalanced."
Ye Chutang took away two pieces of letters.
"Then give them thirty lashes each, and expose the fact that the Second Prince hid weapons and the Crown Prince withheld military pay."
After saying this, she remembered the extremely evil Eunuch De.
"A Zhou, what do you think would happen if the emperor found out that Eunuch De had secretly kept the dragon robe, the imperial seal, and the imperial edict?"
Qi Yanzhou said without any hesitation: "Make excuses for Eunuch De and swallow your anger."
The palace and the imperial court had long been controlled by Eunuch De, and the emperor did not dare to break off relations with him.
But he will harbor resentment and try to take back the imperial power to prevent Eunuch De from regicide and help the young prince ascend the throne to become a puppet emperor!
Ye Chutang shrugged, "It's unprecedented for an emperor to be like this."
Qi Yanzhou suddenly thought of something.
"Atang, did the 'ghost thief' steal the national seal?"
When the emperor issued an imperial decree offering a reward for the capture of the "ghost thief", he discovered that there was something wrong with the seal.
The subsequent edict of repentance and the imperial decree granting him marriage confirmed this.
Ye Chutang nodded, "Yes, do you want it?"
Qi Yanzhou did not answer but asked, "Atang, what kind of person is the 'Ghost Thief'?"
"Greedy, arrogant, casual, and occasionally righteous."
"What does he want?"
"Probably just like you, Azhou. Good weather and good harvests, peace and prosperity for the country and the people."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he asked again, "Do you want the national seal?"
Qi Yanzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "I will exchange all the money in Prince Chen's Mansion for the national seal, but I won't take it for the time being."
The national seal is too important, it will not be safe no matter where it is placed, if it is in the hands of a "ghost thief".
"Okay, let's continue talking about exile."
"Some of the weapons were destroyed, and the letters of treason were replaced with those of Ye Jingchuan colluding with the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. The fabric of the voodoo dolls was replaced with one reserved for the royal family."
After listening to this, Ye Chutang raised a question: "In this case, only the weapons are unclear. With the achievements of Prince Chen's Mansion over the years, can it achieve the purpose of exile?"
Without sufficient reasons, the emperor would not dare to punish the Qi family severely.
Otherwise it will be difficult to stop the people from speaking out.
"I can't do that, so I'll go into exile."
This was the best decision Qi Yanzhou made after thinking about it for a few days.
If the emperor sentenced the Qi family to exile, they would definitely be shackled and tortured.
If he asked to be exiled, he would still suffer along the way, but at least he would be free.
The most important thing is that if the crime is not serious enough, it will be easier to redress it in the future.
Ye Chutang thought Qi Yanzhou’s idea was very good and nodded in agreement.
"Then let's do as you say. How do you plan to arrange for the servants in Prince Chen's Mansion?"
If you ask to be exiled, the emperor will not punish you too severely.
If you didn't sell yourself into the palace, you can leave directly.
If you sell your body.
If you have money, you can redeem yourself; if you don’t have money, you will be sold to a matchmaker.
Qi Yanzhou had already arranged his subordinates.
"Some will stay in the capital, some will accompany us secretly for protection, and the rest will rush to the northwest in advance."
"Oh, and the Night Fury guys will be accompanying us,"
Ye Chutang asked, "Can the group of people going to the northwest take Shan'er and Jinzhi with them?"
"Of course, when can they leave?"
"Tomorrow, after I get married."
Qi Yanzhou thought for a moment and asked, "Do they have a lot of luggage?"
"Not much, just some personal belongings. If it's inconvenient to bring them, you can go out of town to buy some."
"Then let them only take some gold and silver with them, and take the opportunity of sending them to Guangjuxuan. I will arrange for someone to send them out of the city."
Ye Chutang knew why Qi Yanzhou made such arrangements.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The emperor is very suspicious and will definitely send people to keep an eye on the people around her.
If they find out that Shan'er and Jinzhi want to leave, they will definitely be detained.
After the discussion, Ye Chutang prepared to leave.
Qi Yanzhou stood up and held her arm, looking concerned.
"Ah Tang, did you eat the preserved fruit I gave you? Are your morning sickness symptoms getting better?"
"The preserved fruits taste pretty good. Stock up on some for the exile. I've been eating medicinal food lately, so I haven't had any morning sickness. Don't worry."
"Don't worry, the food for tomorrow's wedding banquet won't have any fishy smell."
Seeing Qi Yanzhou being so careful, Ye Chutang smiled and asked, "You did it so obviously, aren't you afraid of being noticed?"
"So what if they can see it? No one dares to question it."
"Your Majesty is mighty. It's getting late. I should go back."
Qi Yanzhou hugged Ye Chutang and rubbed her cheek affectionately.
"I'm sorry to make you suffer."
"Don't worry, none of us will suffer."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, she pushed Qi Yanzhou away and looked at him with a beautiful smile.
"See you tomorrow, my husband."
After saying that, she left the box.
Qi Yanzhou was distracted by the word "husband" and her heart was beating like a drum, as if it was going to jump out of her chest.
When he came back to his senses, he immediately opened the window a crack and looked at Ye Chutang affectionately as he left.
Ye Chutang felt Qi Yanzhou's gaze but did not look back.
Because she saw Qin Muyun coming towards her.
"Mr. Qin, how is your injury?"
Qin Muyun stretched his body and said with a smile: "Ziqian sends doctors to the Qin family every day. I am recovering well and will be fully recovered in a few days."
"Miss Ye, congratulations."
He looked sincere and had no grudge against his good brother marrying his sweetheart.
Because he knew that he was not worthy of Ye Chutang, and only good brothers were qualified to stand by her side.
Ye Chutang smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, take care."
After saying that, she left.
Qin Muyun felt that the word "take care" was a bit strange, so he asked Qi Yanzhou about it when he saw him.
"Ziqian, Miss Ye is not going to run away from marriage, right?"
Qi Yanzhou was amused by Qin Muyun's idea, "Read less storybooks in the future."
"That's good. The emperor is so anxious to grant you and Miss Ye a marriage. Is there any action?"
"Well, no matter what happens tomorrow, don't stand up for me and hold your father down. I have my own plans."
When Qin Muyun heard these words, he had a bad feeling.
"The Emperor is making a big move?"
"It's an act of confiscating the property and exterminating the clan, but don't worry, I can handle it."
Qin Muyun shouted angrily: "If there is no Qi family, there will be no Beichen Kingdom. The royal family is really ruthless!"
Qi Yanzhou patted Qin Muyun's shoulder.
"Being angry is harmful to your health. There's no need to worry. Huaixuan, you should think about yourself."
