"What are you doing still cold, didn't you hear what the concubine said?" Looking at the dumbfounded maid, Xiao Yunheng's tone was displeased.

As soon as the color screen turned cold, he immediately reacted and bowed his head in agreement.

The prince is too used to Lu Xiyue, obviously His Majesty has the intention of not acknowledging this marriage contract.

If he confronts His Majesty like this, isn't he afraid of offending His Majesty?

Caiping stepped back with her skirt in hand.

Xiao Yunheng frowned, becoming more and more dissatisfied with the people sent by Emperor Hui.

In fact, in the entire palace up to now, apart from the guards outside, there are also those two doormen, and these two palace people are the only ones serving them.

Xiao Yunheng handed over the management of the palace to Jing Yi.

Now that people are staring at him, Prince Ning's Mansion, from all directions, at this time, the servants are likely to go back to the eyeliner stuffed in by others.

"Brother didn't mean to send a few people over to help, why hasn't there been any movement for so long."

Lu Xiyue was overjoyed: "Aren't you not happy to have so many people serving you?"

Xiao Yunheng curled his lips: "There will always be someone to serve you and your mother, besides, the people from these two palaces are from Emperor Hui."

How could he not know what Emperor Hui was thinking? He had been thinking about surveillance when he was a Sailor.

The maid just now looked at Lu Xiyue with disdain.

It was also knowing Emperor Hui's thoughts that Xiao Yunheng spread the past on the road to exile.

One is to let those who try to look down on his beloved see how they share weal and woe, which is good for her reputation, and second, it is also to let Emperor Hui know that Lu Xiyue is kind to him, so as to dispel the unrealistic feelings in Emperor Hui's heart thought.

Xiao Yunheng could tell that Emperor Hui felt guilty towards him, so he tried every means to make up for him and the palace.

"My mother and I are not that spoiled, we don't need someone to take care of us." Lu Xiyue laughed.

Xiao Yunheng wanted to say something else, a handsome young man in a purple robe walked in with his back straight.

"I've met King Ning and Princess Ning."

But I haven't seen him for a few months, and the original youthfulness of the young man has receded a lot, his shoulders are broad, revealing the stability and reliability that a grown man should have.

"Sir, sit down."

The color screen and emerald jade stood guard outside the hall, Xiao Yunheng did not show too much affection.

Xie Zhizhou sent an invitation to him before he sat down: "My grandmother's birthday is coming up, and it's scheduled for three days later. I hope the prince and princess will go there to celebrate together."

Mrs. Lao Hou is old, but she has a first-class imperial order, which was achieved when the Marquis of Huai'an and King Ning went to the battlefield together.

Huai'an Marquis' Mansion was close to Prince Ning's Mansion in the past, and now Mrs. Hou is celebrating her birthday, so there is nothing wrong with inviting Xiao Yunheng over.

"This is a happy event. Don't worry, my son. When the time comes, I will definitely go to celebrate with the princess."

Xiao Yunheng accepted the invitation, then frowned again, with a sullen expression on his face: "The eldest son came to visit, why don't you make tea?"

These words were obviously addressed to Caiping and Cuiyu.

The two stood at the door, their faces turned pale when they heard this, and they lowered their heads to plead guilty: "It's my servant's negligence, my servant is going down to get ready."

"Go quickly."

Caiping and Cuiyu breathed a sigh of relief when they walked to the corner of the corridor.

"It's really careless, Cuiyu, why didn't you remind me." She even forgot to serve tea to the guests.

Cuiyu was a little innocent: "I don't know, there are almost no guests in the palace on weekdays. Besides, my sister and I are the only two people in such a big place, how can we get here?"

"Yeah, you said what happened to the prince, and he didn't even hire a few servants to help."

The two of them were busy running until late at night, their legs were almost broken, and they couldn't stop.

She almost couldn't help wondering if the prince was torturing people on purpose.

"Sister, let's go make tea quickly, lest the prince be angry."

Hearing Cuiyu's words, Caiping stopped delaying and quickened his pace.

In the hall, there were no outsiders, and Xie Zhizhou was less apprehensive: "Good sister-in-law, you must dress up carefully that day. I heard that Qin Zhiyan is also coming."

That day Qin Zhiyan suffered a great humiliation at the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, and it spread throughout the capital that day.

She was almost everyone's joke.

Lu Xiyue chuckled: "There's no need to dress up carefully, as long as Yun Heng stands by my side, that's enough."

"That's true."

"Okay, you came to the palace to talk about this, right?" Xiao Yunheng interrupted his conversation with Lu Xiyue impatiently.

"Of course not, there is one more important thing to tell big brother." Xie Zhizhou put away the smile on his face, then leaned over and lowered his voice: "The fifth prince asked me to check the military salary two days ago, yesterday a spy replied , that Deputy General Wang has already died in the camp of military prostitutes."

When Prince Ning's Mansion fell, Emperor Hui took back two-thirds of the military power, and the remaining one-third was handed over to the third prince.

Not long ago, when Ji Yunyan was investigating the case, besides Dali Temple Minister and Household Minister, he also had an unexpected harvest.

The soldiers under the third prince have not received full military pay for nearly a year, and even their food and clothing expenses have been severely reduced.

Ji Yunyan made a rough estimate based on the spies' information, and the embezzled military salary is not small, with a total of 2 taels of silver.

You know, Emperor Hui hated embezzling military pay the most.

After the fall of Prince Ning's Mansion, corruption was one of the evidences of the Duke's Mansion's defeat.

The people under him just happened to find out that Vice General Wang was on him, but within a few days, this Vice General Wang died suddenly, which is too strange.

"Ji Yunyan is still as ruthless as ever, and he is so hard on his own people."

Xie Zhizhou snorted coldly, he hadn't found any actual evidence yet, in order to avoid trouble, Ji Wuhen could do it so neatly, and he didn't know what those people on his side were up to.

Following such a person, one is not afraid of ending up in an untimely death.

Xiao Yunheng twirled the teacup lightly with his fingertips, and lowered his voice: "Since the other party has already noticed, don't investigate this matter any further. Wait a moment and start from other aspects."

"I thought so too, but..." Xie Zhizhou sighed, and said the purpose of this trip: "But those under my hands are clueless, and they were caught by mistake, so I want to trouble Brother, lend me two personal."

"Are you going to save them?" Xiao Yunheng was a little surprised.

"Yeah, we can't let them die in Ji Wuhen's hands."

Xiao Yunheng was not a cold-blooded person either, so he called Jing Yi and asked him to arrange a team of hidden guards to follow Xie Zhizhou.

"Don't go there yourself, Ji Wuhen has already noticed that if you go, you will inevitably be in danger."

Xie Zhizhou nodded, reassuring him: "I won't risk my life, brother, don't worry."

After finishing the business, Caiping and Cuiyu who made tea also came back with hot tea and poured it for Xie Zhizhou respectfully.
