"Princess, shall we go back to the palace?"

Seeing that Yun Yige was stunned, Zhuer pushed her shoulder gently. Yun Yige nodded. It was getting late, so he had to leave quickly. He got on the carriage and took the people and medicinal materials back to the palace.

At the house, Xuan Ming was sitting in the main hall waiting for her. His face was not very good-looking and his eyes were gloomy. The food was already placed on the table, and the maids and guards stood on both sides and did not dare to say anything.

The prince has been sitting here for a long time, seemingly waiting for the princess, but the princess has been out for a long time and has not come back yet. The guard said he wanted to go out to look for her but was stopped by the prince. No one could guess what Xuan Ming was thinking, only that he Very unhappy at the moment.

As soon as Yun Yige walked into the palace, she felt the suffocating atmosphere. She walked to Xuan Ming and sat down. She told her about meeting Que Du in the hospital. Xuan Ming's condensed face gradually softened. Some.Before she said anything, Xuan Ming already knew everything that happened in the medical center.

He knew what kind of person Yunyi Ge was, but he still felt uncomfortable when he heard him meeting a man outside.Now that he heard her explanation and knew that she still cared about his feelings, he felt a little happier.

"In the future, if this kind of thing is inconvenient, you can leave it to me." Xuan Ming held Yun Yige's hand.

"Que Du and Xiao Yinchen have both helped you and me. When necessary, if they need it, I will help them."

Xuan Ming scooped up a spoonful of mutton soup and placed it in front of Yun Yige: "I'm exhausted these days, drink some soup to replenish your body."

"it is good."

Yun Yige drank the soup and listened to the recent events in General Xuanming's court.The one with the most changes in officials recently is the Qintian Prison. From the supervisor to the chief supervisor, Xuan Zheng also issued a decree that institutions and departments like the Qintian Prison must conduct regular assessments and examinations. There is no calculation. Officials who are incompetent must be dismissed or transferred to other official positions.

Qin Tianjian has undergone a major change and will not be able to cause any trouble in the short term, and few people here dare to go against Xuan Ming.

"The people from Qintian Prison have finished cleaning up. Next, it's the turn of the Ministry of Rites."

None of these people can escape if they dare to mess with his wedding date.

"If the Ministry of Rites is disturbed, Prince Rui will definitely get wind of it. We still don't know if Xuan Yan and Prince Rui are secretly connected."

However, Xuan Yan is dead. It doesn't matter whether he was in cahoots with King Rui back then. In order to bring down King Li, King Rui ignored the safety of the people and blew up the coal mine, hurting innocent people and disregarding human lives. It cannot be done anymore. Even if he is allowed to bring trouble to the court, he will be left alone.

"What does the prince plan to do?" Yun Yige asked.

"I'm waiting for a person, waiting for his news and evidence." With this evidence, only Beichu and Nanyang can unite to prove King Rui's crime.

Xuan Ming received the news that before the Zhen family fell, King Rui had colluded with the Zhen family to secretly sell the arms to Nanyang. Later, after the Zhen family fell, King Rui asked the Cao family in Jiangning to secretly transport the arms.

"You mean, in recent years, arms have been stolen from the army. Is it because King Rui is keeping the secrets?"

Yunyi Ge looked at him in surprise, not expecting that these powerful people would do anything to gain power.

Every once in a while, a batch of arms would be lost in the army, and the soldiers guarding the arms would either be beaten to death or executed according to the cruelest military discipline. Many wives were left without husbands and children without fathers.

King Rui did not take the lives of these soldiers into consideration for his own selfish reasons.

"Isn't King Rui afraid that Nanyang will send troops to attack Bei Chu after it has these weapons from Bei Chu?"

Xuan Ming smiled and shook his head: "Prince Rui did not sell these batches of arms to the Nanyang royal family, but sold them to the four major families in Nanyang through the Cao family in the name of transporting silk cloth."

Yun Yige was slightly shocked. The four major families in Nanyang, the Guanqiu family, the Daxi family, the Nanrong family, and the Dongfang family were as rich as the rest of the country. There were conflicts between the families. Whoever was more powerful could occupy more markets and territories. Whoever has the right to speak is stronger.

When one or two of the families reach a certain amount of arms, they can use this to threaten Nanyang Court, either to obtain sufficient benefits, or to directly seek power to usurp the throne and claim hegemony.

In the past, she had also heard that the four major families in Nanyang purchased arms from various places, but she did not expect that Beichu, which was short of arms supplies, would also be a supplier.

"What a good trick. King Rui not only got money for himself, but also messed up the situation in Nanyang. However, King Rui doesn't seem to be as squandering as King Li on weekdays. Where did all the money go?"

"King Rui is raising private soldiers and soldiers."

Xuan Ming said lightly, and Yun Yige understood it after thinking about it.

"Based on what I know about King Rui, he is making two-pronged preparations. If the imperial brother passes the throne to him, these private soldiers can be sent to the army or retained as a hidden force to deal with disloyalty in the court after he ascends the throne. A person with a heart.”

"If the emperor brother did not pass the throne to him, he would rebel. After all, no matter whether the emperor brother passed the throne to King Li or King Rui, neither of them would be able to let the other survive. If two tigers fight, one of them will die."

Yun Yige understood: "If King Rui is killed, will you be in danger?"

This is what worries her the most.

"Whether Prince Rui is selling arms that are already in short supply in Northern Chu to the enemy, or raising private soldiers, it is a serious crime."

"I don't have anything to say. It's just that after I collect all the evidence, once I mention this matter to His Majesty, King Rui may not be able to sit still. And King Rui knows that you are my weakness, so I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you. In the future, you Be careful when you go out."

Xuan Ming held Yun Yige's hand tightly. The thought of losing her made his heart hurt as if someone had torn it apart.

Yun Yige nodded and asked him to go ahead and do it. She would protect herself and try not to cause him any trouble.

After talking about Prince Rui, she suddenly thought of another member of the royal family: "Your Majesty, do you really want to marry the princess to the Prince of Nanyang?"

At the Dragon Boat Festival palace banquet, Yun Yige saw the dissolute behavior and frivolous words of the Nanyang Prince. He dared to be so arrogant in Beichu, let alone to Nanyang. If Xuan Wenduo married, what would happen in the future? I'm afraid I will suffer a lot.

Moreover, Xuan Wenduo was used to being pampered in the palace since she was a child. She has a lively and naughty temperament. She is not very good at reading people's faces and hiding her true inner thoughts, for fear of offending others and being bullied.

"Although the emperor loves Xiaoba, if we want to avoid possible war between Beichu and Nanyang, marriage is the easiest way."

As he spoke, Xuan Ming noticed Zhan Yue standing at the door and raised his hand to signal him to come in.

After Zhan Yue handed him a note, he bowed and left. Xuan Ming opened the note, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Maybe Xiaoba doesn't have to go and get married. The evidence that King Rui stole the arms and sold them will soon be available. "
