The Fourth Prince suddenly raised his head. "Father Emperor, someone deliberately exposed this matter. How could so many brothels be on fire at the same time? Someone framed us. Someone must have framed us!"
"Yes, Father Emperor. There were so many places on fire for no reason. Who knows if the ledgers were real or fake? So many officials were implicated, and that person even schemed against us. The person behind this is vicious. Father Emperor, don't be deceived by the villain!"
Hearing their remarks, Baili Qingcang stopped his orders of execution, and his gaze swept over everyone present.
Baili Junyi looked at the panic-stricken the Third Prince and Fourth Prince.
"My royal brothers, let's not talk about whether the ledgers are fake or not. No one can fake this money. If someone is trying to frame me with this amount of money, I won't mind being framed a few more times. With this money, not only the funding for the northwest, but
Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua knelt on the ground with their back straight and their serious gazes on Baili Qingcang. Their eyes were clear and their expressions were calm, not being bothered by the officials at all.Baili Qingcang's heart trembled. "A-Are you trying to force me to depose you?!" One of them was a royal prince and the other a noble princess. Had they ever thought of the consequences of failure for going up against the officials?Shen Ninghua looked up at the old man sitting on the throne. The nine-clawed golden dragon with a dragon horn on his chair was majestic and intimidating. "Father Emperor, I'm sorry for putting you in a difficult situation this time, but I do not regret it. It hurts to remove the rotten things at once, but only by being ruthless can a new opportunity be reborn."The officials on the side were infuriated."Rotten? What do you mean by that, Princess Zhaohua? Are you saying that all of us are rot
Listening to the answers of the officials, Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua finally showed a smile on their faces. The silent tacit understanding between the two of them was self-evident.Witnessing their sweet and harmonious interaction, Baili Jinchuan curled his lips into a mocking smirk.The two of them were really willing to sacrifice themselves. Baili Junyi started this episode. Even if Shen Ninghua proposed a solution to ease the situation, the officials would still hate the two of them to the bone. However, for His Majesty, as long as he slightly lowered the punishment and spared most of the people's lives, these officials would be grateful to him. In addition, His Majesty had the evidence in his hand to make sure that these officials would be devoted to their job wholeheartedly.Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua gave such a great favor to Father Emperor. If they had used this evidence to blackmail the officials instead of exposing them, Baili Ji
A thick layer of blood stained the marble floor of Chengqian Hall. The palace servants scrubbed and wiped the floor for four hours to clean it thoroughly.The officials in the hall had already left, leaving only the royal family members there.The Third Prince, Fourth Prince, and Sixth Prince did not dare to make a sound at this time. They lowered their heads and tried to minimize their existence, afraid of attracting Baili Qingcang's attention again.The Second Prince lowered his eyes slightly, but he was paying close attention to Shen Ninghua.Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua knelt in the hall. The sky had gradually brightened, making the candles in the hall seem a little frail and powerless."Father Emperor, please allow us to leave."Baili Qingcang's expression was eerily profound. "Give me a reason. I don't want to hear any reason like you're afraid of revenge and sorts. If you were really afraid, you wou
After returning to the mansion, Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua did not waste their time. Shen Ninghua went to see the two children while listening to Bi Zhu and Bai Ruo report the situation."Miss, all the things have been sealed in the warehouse, and the shops in the capital and nearby are all closed."Bai Ruo added, "We've prepared everything that we need on the way to the northwest according to your list. We can set off at any time."With a nod, Shen Ninghua caressed the children's plumpy cheeks gently. "His Highness will arrange the people he needs to bring. As for our side, the four of you, two wet nurses, Liu Yun, and Xia Rouqin should be enough. What about Xuanlin? Is he ready?""Yes, Miss. Liu Yun is watching over him, and he has already been prepared."Shen Ninghua nodded. When she heard the footsteps, she turned around, and there was a hint of warmth in her eyes when she saw Baili Junyi walking in. "Have you ar
Because they were not in a hurry, and no one dared to disturb them, Shen Ninghua's convoy traveled at a leisure pace. If they hadn't taken into account that their children were too young to spend their time on the carriage for too long, they would have used a longer time to arrive at their destination.They traveled leisurely for two weeks, but the impact they brought on the capital continued to fester.Because there was great doubt about the officials, in addition to the fact that Baili Junyi's secret arrangement for the Shadow Guards and the Dragon Scale Army to run their operation smoothly, the investigation of the official's residence had progressed exceptionally swiftly, and the result was also far greater than imagined.The things that were taken out from the official's residence were pulled into the imperial palace by carriages for an entire day. The Third Prince and the others, who were trying to fill up the national vault, were overjoy
Zhou Da hurriedly waved his hand. "No. Although my last name is also Zhou, I'm not related to the Zhou Family. I think the only connection between us is the same last name."After he finished speaking, he carefully observed Baili Junyi's and Shen Ninghua's expressions, but he found that Shen Ninghua seemed to be asking the question casually as she lost her interest after hearing his answer and continued to stroll around the garden.After a brief look, Baili Junyi nodded in satisfaction. "This courtyard is very good. Lord Zhou, ask the Zhou Family how much I need to spend to buy this courtyard?""It is the Zhou Family's honor for you to stay in the courtyard. They won't accept your money," Zhou Da quickly refused.Throwing a glance at him, Baili Junyi quipped with a faint smile, "Lord Zhou, you're not from the Zhou Family. How can you represent them? Please go and ask them.""Uh... O-Okay. You're so benevolent, Your Hig
The dishes prepared at the banquet were extremely exquisite. Many of them were unique to the northwest that were perfect in aroma, color, and taste. It was obvious that they had taken a lot of effort in preparing this.Baili Junyi tasted the dishes and wine. The feeling of strangeness in his heart grew stronger and stronger. He felt that Zhou City's officials were too enthusiastic and respectful. Even if the officials here were afraid of him, they didn't have to be so cautious to curry favor with him.Shen Ninghua did not think much of it. She heard the sound of flute and looked at the door with interest.A woman in a red dress and a veil over her face walked in with a jade flute in her hand, illustrating her slender and fair fingers. Her skirt was slightly long, and she dragged it behind her. She walked lightly on the ground as if she was stepping on the clouds, looking like a fairy.Everyone in the hall was attracted by the appea
Baili Junyi started to observe the officials more and more attentively. The more he scrutinized them, the more suspicious he became. There was definitely something that they did not know about Zhou City. This place was definitely strange!The officials present were entertaining him wholeheartedly, so he allowed them to please him. At the end of the banquet, he even praised Zhou Da wantonly, as if he had forgotten the little episode in the middle of the banquet.After getting on the carriage, the tipsiness on Baili Junyi's face due to the alcohol disappeared completely. Shen Ninghua looked at him with a playful smirk. "You are really good at pretending. Those officials have all been fooled."Hearing this, Baili Junyi smiled, but his tone was particularly cold. "Zhou City has a strange aura everywhere. We will stay here for a while. Maybe we can catch something big.""How do you feel about Miss Zhou?""Miss Zhou? Who? Zh
Bu Yonghan looked up, without the slightest bit of pride of being a princess in her eyes, there was only the fear and hatred that haunted her.Shen Ninghua looked at her with a cool expression, "It really didn't occur to me that our meeting again would be like this."Bu Yonghan sneered, "Now that I've fallen into your hands, I'll do as I please if I want to kill you.""Is that so? Listen to your tone as if you are not afraid of death, but your eyes tell this palace that you are afraid.""Oh, I would be afraid of you?"Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes, a cold smile flashed in her eyes, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, after all, you're also Prince De's rightful consort, I'll have someone send you back, and Tai Consort Qi and Prince De will naturally settle you down properly."Thinking of the desperate scene of being locked inside the empty room before, Bu Yonghan's body shuddered violently, "I'm not going back, I'm not going back!""It'
The Daan Kingdom's army garrison was quiet, and Slaughter Shadow, wrapped in black clothing, felt his way toward the garrison's source of drinking water.This time, the place where the army of Daan Kingdom is stationed is not far away is a river, the whole army usually water, are taken from the river, the soldiers guarding the river patrol day and night to protect the river safety, for fear that someone in the water to do something.At this time, the soldiers guarding the river did not realize in the slightest that someone had already taken advantage of the night and the cover of the grass to touch the river. Because he was worried that killing these guards would arouse the suspicion of the Great An Kingdom, Tu Ying could only creep into the grass and quietly open the box he was holding in his arms.The jade bottle emitted an ethereal blue light, and a hint of relief flashed through Tu Ying's eyes that had always been devoid of fluctuations. As long as he helped th
How could Bu Linglong not expect that she would see Shen Ninghua again at this time. At this time, she was in a sorry state, bound by ropes around her wrists, weakly kneeling on the ground, her eyes gripped with blackness. Knowing that at this time, she was completely without any advantage or credentials, she still tried hard to open her eyes wide and looked at Shen Ninghua who was sitting above her.Shen Ninghua came to the border city with Baili Junyi only yesterday, after a night's rest, her spirit recovered, because of her relaxed mood, the whole person seemed to be carrying a soft light in general, sitting up beautifully as if she didn't look like a real person, "Princess Linglong, I didn't expect that we'd meet again in such a way."Bu Linglong tilted her head and looked at her with an arrogant face, "Empress Mother, I also didn't expect that you would follow the Emperor to the border city."Shen Ninghua smiled faintly, "Is the princess's body alright?"
This personal expedition of Baili Junyi drew extra attention from the people of the entire Da An Country. In the nearly one year since he ascended to the throne, the Great An Country had experienced a lot of turmoil, but in the end, it had all come through unscathed. Nowadays, the emperor emphasizes pragmatic subjects, strictly combats corruption and bribery, and the official atmosphere of the entire Da An country is exceptionally clear.When the officials are clean, the lives of the people underneath will naturally be better. They treated Baili Junyi as a bright ruler, and now, this bright ruler is going to go on a military expedition, and with the Empress in tow, which is really heartbreaking.Many of the people who originally had little feeling for the Great Yue Country began to loathe them, believing that if it wasn't for them messing with the border, the Emperor and Empress Dowager wouldn't have had to put themselves in harm's way.Just as they were discussing
Baili Jun Yi dynasty announced that the future no longer consorts, the only queen of the harem one person, although the officials on the spot have different thoughts, but after repeated thought, they all tacitly choose to shut up and do not say anything.The emperor and the empress is happy, they do the subjects, or not what hope. Otherwise, think of those who jumped before the great officials down, and go to great lengths to let the emperor will be held in the election, and then, the election is not over, their official position is not, after that, implicated in the Palace of the daughter, even if it is the show girl is not also gray back to the Palace of the?They also sort of saw that the Emperor had no intention of bringing new people into the harem from the beginning.Originally, those courtiers dared to openly call the Emperor's bluff by virtue of their influence in the court, but now they have all been driven out of the court, and their fate is pathetic. The
Prince Yi stared wide-eyed, his eyes flashing with full shock, “How could the Tu Su family be related to the Great Yue State?" These ambassadors of theirs were locked up in the post house and were extremely misinformed on weekdays, and to this day, they still hadn't figured out the reason for the Tu Su family's overnight defeat.Baili Jun Yi hooked the corner of his lips, the two countries are once again at war at the border, and these messengers are no longer necessary to maintain the surface peace, he is even more lazy and he circled:"This matter I ordered to seal the mouth, Prince Yi naturally not clear, well, there is no more other things, you will step Linglong lead back, go back after a good sharpening of temperament, the next time a similar thing happens, I will not look at the face of the Great Vietnam lightly forgiven."Icy cold words were heard in his ears, shocking Prince Yi couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "Your Majesty, this king has taught his
Bu Linglong swept a glance at Xiao Bao, only to feel that this child was just as annoying as her mother, this was just a small age, and she was this vicious.At this point, she had completely forgotten that the reason why she had received this beating was entirely of her own making, and, for someone of her age to be reckoning with a three year old, she didn't know who the truly vicious one really was!Shen Ninghua's five senses were extremely sharp, sensing Bu Linglong's hidden anger and hatred, a cold light flashed in the bottom of her eyes, originally she didn't want to be concerned, but now she wanted to make things clear, otherwise, wouldn't it be better to let Xiao Bao have to bear a bad name at a young age?"Princess Linglong, is what Luo Yao said true?"Bu Linglong hurriedly defended, "Empress Mother, how could I have such thoughts, the reason why I stayed in the palace in the first place was because you invited me, and later on, it was even more so be
Within the palace, the palace examination began. Many officials pondered to wait until the end of the palace examination, must be written to submit a good chapter to the emperor, so that the emperor will be released from the palace daughters.For such a long time, they also sort of see that the Emperor said that he was starting a draft, but he did not mean to leave anyone in the harem.Today, half of the showgirls have been sent out of the palace. Most of them were implicated because of the fall of the previous officials, and not many of them are still in the palace today, and, moreover, all of them are the kind of family mediocre, even if they are in the palace, there is no hope of being favored.Moreover, some days ago, the eldest prince turned three years old, the emperor appointed the university scholar to enlighten him, looking at this situation is from a young age is going to treat the eldest prince as the depositary training. The eldest prince Baili Yong Che
Shen Ninghua frowned slightly, also somewhat unable to find a clue, “The Tu Su family has existed for more than a hundred years, started in the former dynasty, and the words of the former dynasty ... does it mean that the Tu Su family had a relationship with the Great Yue State in the former dynasty? Even to the serious speculation, Tu Su family is the nail that the Great Yue State has planted on our side."Baili Junyi gazed in contemplation, "What you said is extremely possible, a family that has developed a bit too legendary, moreover, if the Tusu family has no other purpose, why would they be so eager to control the courtiers and make a name for themselves?"Shen Ninghua nodded, "If what we've guessed is true, then the mind of the Tu Su family is simply too terrifying."If not for Baili Junyi's deep affection for her, then the Tu Su family's plan to have Tu Su Qingli approach him could have succeeded. That kind of cold beauty of a woman, to him to give up their
