Not long after the Qi people left, Xiling and Wuliang also bid farewell to Emperor Hui. After the emperor gave a farewell banquet, the two parties embarked on the journey back home.

Lady Wuliang's injury has not healed, and logically speaking, she should rest and recover before going back. In view of the Qi people's arrogance, they thought it over and decided to go back earlier and inform King Wuliang of this incident.

A country's envoys abroad represent the face of the country.

The people of Qi are so arrogant that they slapped them in the face, can they still pretend not to see it?

Silver and horses?

That was the compensation given to the people of Qi State for three days before, and what they care about finally took the blame on King Tong An.

This matter couldn't be more obvious, it is clear that Da Qi is bullying their country's weakness.

No matter how small the country is, it cannot be bullied by others. In the end, it can only lead the other party to go too far.

Emperor Hui could vaguely feel that after this prayer meeting, the world would definitely not be peaceful.

On the next day, Rong Yu and Mo She entered the palace to bid farewell to Emperor Hui.

There were farewell banquets in the palace one after another. Seeing that the Miao people were about to leave, when all the envoys from the various countries left, Emperor Hui would definitely interrogate Jiang Yingyue.

The moonlight was clear, and the candles in the house were flickering. Yao Xinyu pushed open the door of the study: "Your Highness, rest first, it's already settled."

Ji Wuhen raised his head from a pile of letter papers, his handsome face was a little more irritable than usual.

"There are still a lot of unresolved things, I can't sleep, Yu'er, go to sleep first, don't wait for me."

Yao Xinyu walked to his side, picked up a piece of letter paper and looked at it, a hint of ridicule flashed in his eyes, but his face didn't show it: "Uncle asked His Highness for money again?"

Ji Wuhen nodded, a little dissatisfied: "Although the amount is not large, but uncle asks for some every time, and every time I ask for some, I need to take care of everything here."

The minimum is 1000 taels, and the maximum is 5000 taels.

Although he is a prince, he also owns a lot of shops and properties, but he can't bear his repeated demands for money.

Yao Xinyu pursed her lips, put down the letter, and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "If His Highness is not happy, just give less, but uncle's ambitions have become bigger and bigger recently."

"What do you mean?" Ji Wuhen frowned.

"Your Highness, don't you know that my uncle's subordinates found my father yesterday and asked him to help settle the case of the Wang family not long ago."

Ji Wuhen showed shock: "What Wang family, why haven't you heard about it?"

Yao Xinyu was surprised, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and he murmured: "It turns out that my uncle has never told His Royal Highness before. The thing is like this. On the day when Xiling entered the capital, my uncle took a fancy to the surname Wang on the mountain when he was on tour. A girl from other people."

Ji Wuhen listened, the corners of his mouth twitching.

Judging from intuition and those dandies I met in the capital, after taking a fancy to a story like this of a family, often nothing good happens.

"It's just that Miss Wang is married and has a son. His husband-in-law is still a scholar, but you also know his uncle's temperament." Yao Xinyu observed Ji Wuhen's face, and saw that his eyes were heavy, and said again : "He charged a high price, but was kicked out by that family. My uncle had a high heart, so he ordered someone to take the girl back."

"Not only that……"

Speaking of this, the girl's voice was slightly cold.

If it wasn't for the fact that the surname Lan was the uncle of His Highness the Third Highness, let alone asking her father to suppress this matter, she would have personally picked up a knife and chopped off this filthy scum.

On the surface, he loves his wife and daughter, but inside he is a vicious beast!

"What else?" Ji Wuhen asked through gritted teeth.

"The woman couldn't bear the humiliation, so she hanged herself. The man sued the Yamen for nothing, and let his uncle know about it, so he silenced him. The man's elder brother took his son away, and he didn't intend to give up..."

"Your Highness, Uncle has really gone too far this time, to the point of being so arrogant."

Normally Yao Xinyu and Ji Wuhen wouldn't be so careful that it was his, but when it came to his uncle, she had to back down two steps.

"I see."

Ji Wuhen's brows jumped, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged even more.

He naturally understood what kind of person his uncle was.

Otherwise, he would not have allowed Yao Xinyu to arrest his cousin unscrupulously.

Of course, now is not the time to be angry.

The important thing is not to let this matter go to the father.

There was anger in his eyes: "Where is that man's elder brother now?"

"It has been taken away by the new Dali Temple Minister."

The new Minister of Dali Temple was personally promoted by Emperor Hui. He came from a white background and previously served in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Ji Wuhen's face suddenly changed, "It has been handed over to Dali Temple, but my uncle still keeps it from me."

The minister of Dali Temple who was personally promoted by the father is the father's man.

The prince's uncle raped and killed people's daughters, secretly taught and oppressed people with local officials, and killed innocent people indiscriminately.

If this matter gets out...

A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, and he couldn't imagine the consequences.

When he was furious, he stood up abruptly, and slapped his palm on the table: "Father is already dissatisfied with me a lot, yet he keeps causing trouble again and again, he really doesn't know what to do!"

It's not because of his name as the prince's uncle that he can get to where he is today.

Ji Wuhen has never been so angry with his own uncle as he is today.

"Your Highness, don't be angry. Being angry can't solve the problem. My father has already agreed to go to Dali Temple to inquire about it. There is no news from the father's side. Presumably he doesn't know about it."

It is no trivial matter for the people to sue the prince's uncle.

It is not a good thing for Dali Temple to make a hasty conclusion before being sure about it, and make a fuss in front of Emperor Hui.

Furthermore, the Miao Jiang envoys have not left yet.

Ji Wuhen took two deep breaths, the candlelight imprinted those deep black eyes, and the flickering flames were shocking.

Yao Xinyu leaned over and caught his eyes: "Your Highness, in fact, you have hated uncle for a long time, haven't you?"

Feeling the girl's soft body, Ji Wuhen's face softened a little, he grabbed her hand, and asked, "Why does Yu'er think so?"

Yao Xinyu did not answer, but said: "Actually, this might not be an opportunity. Although Your Highness is related to uncle by blood, it is not the first time that he has dragged His Highness down. Before, there was the wolf ambition of the Fifth Highness, and later, Xiao Yunheng was eyeing him. Your Majesty has repeatedly committed crimes, Your Highness, on the way to achieve supremacy, you cannot be soft-hearted."

The girl's voice was gentle like water, like a stream flowing smoothly, falling on her heart, lingering in her ears, and lingering for a long time.

At the farewell banquet of the envoys from Miao Jiang, Xiao Yunheng was also in it.

The toasts were mixed, and Prince Miaojiang seemed to be in a good mood. One glass of wine followed another, and he could drink as much as two big men at will.

Emperor Hui thought it was weird, at the first banquet, the prince of Miao Jiang hardly drank much.

Looking at Lao Qi and the other two young men who had already been drunk, the corners of Emperor Hui's lips tightened.
