After Lu Zhuo reported this to the emperor, the emperor was furious.

Although the Plum Garden is not located in the imperial palace, it is located in a prosperous area of ​​the capital.

In addition, it was originally an estate belonging to the Empress Dowager, and it would be even more embarrassing for the royal family if word spread about it. Fortunately, Lu Zhuo was able to handle it this time.

Different from his usual behavior, the emperor still felt a little strange.

After asking, I found out that there was a military advisor behind Lu Zhuo.

This military advisor was none other than Zhao Yang. The emperor sighed in his heart, how could he come from a rural background and yet have such a vision.

Looking at my little daughter, although she has grown up, the panic in her eyes cannot be concealed.

"I know this matter. You don't have to do anything else. Just follow Madam Zhao's words and investigate first. In the end, you will come forward to resolve the matter."

"Yes."

Although the emperor said that this was the arrangement, he also informed Jingzhao Mansion in private.

This matter must be investigated strictly and clearly.

It is definitely impossible to cover it up. The only way is to expose it to the public and admit it obediently.

Fortunately, Lu Zhuo was just a princess, and this matter had nothing to do with her. Even if the supervision was inadequate, the royal family could not be blamed for what this slave did.

Fortunately, there was Zhao Yang behind him, and the emperor felt much at ease.

"Is this Zhao Yang's husband this year's top scholar?"

"Reporting to your Majesty, it is none other than the number one scholar, Lin Qingchen." Eunuch Li answered truthfully.

"They are really smart people in this family." The emperor sighed, "Lu Zhuo was very smart this time. He didn't make the decision himself. He even knew to ask me, the father, for questioning. I think it was all the credit of Mrs. Zhao behind this."

Eunuch Li smiled and said, "Then find an opportunity and the emperor can give you a reward?"

"When this matter is over, if Mr. Zhao does well, I will naturally reward him."

Thinking about the past few times, it seems that Zhao Yang helped solve the trouble.

The emperor sighed, "If only this woman were my royal daughter-in-law."

Eunuch Li thought of something, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "I heard that these four highnesses once pursued Madam Zhao."

"Absurd! She is a married woman. What is the identity of the fourth child that he actually wants to marry her?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I guess the Fourth Highness also valued Madam Zhao's abilities. At that time, our new top scholar went up to the mountain to rescue someone who was missing. The Fourth Highness thought that the person would never come back, so he came here."

Having said that, the emperor was still a little dissatisfied.

I also thought that the children were now grown, and it was really time to find a suitable wife for them.

It would be great if we could find someone like Zhao Yang.

If not, just find a lady who is diligent and thrifty and can take care of one-third of an acre at home.

It is not a good thing for a woman to be too talented and virtuous.

Thinking about it this way, the emperor didn't feel regretful anymore, he just wanted to settle the matter in Meiyuan first.

Lu Zhuo was also lazy, with low air pressure all over her body. This incident made her uncomfortable, but she couldn't explain the reason, so she could only go back in a hurry to find Zhao Yang for help.

"Ayang, I'm back. Although my father blames me, as you said, he thinks that I acted very safely this time and allows me to learn more from you in the future."

"Haha, Your Highness is joking."

Zhao Yang was actually thinking about where these women would be transferred.

She has already asked several palace servants who were originally from the Plum Garden. They were all cleaning outside and did not know about the secret passage or what happened below.

Zhao Yang didn't expect them to know anything. He only asked them to recall who was not around when they were clearing the number of people yesterday, or if they saw something strange. Zhao Yang would reward them with money as long as they were there.

Suddenly, many palace people came to Zhao Yang, and even the guards outside began to think about it to see if they could tell something.

There were many people gathered at the door, all coming to tell them news.

After going back and forth, plus those who didn't come, a list of suspected palace residents was quickly compiled.

During the evacuation yesterday, some people did leave suddenly. As for what they were doing, no one else knew, but Zhao Yang and the few who knew the inside story knew everything.

To these ordinary palace people, Zhao Yang only said that the princess had lost something.

Naturally, they would not think about anything else and only thought that what Zhao Yang said was true.

"Look, Your Highness, these people may be Wang Shichong and Cui Yan's lackeys."

Lu Zhuo couldn't help but admire Zhao Yang even more, "A Yang, your brain is so useful, can you lend it to me?"

Zhao Yang found it funny, "Her Royal Highness is not stupid either, she just hasn't been involved in the matter."

"You seem to be as old as me, how come you are so sophisticated?"

"Ahem..." After two lifetimes combined, she should be in her 40s, so she is naturally mature.

Zhao Yang felt a little tired when facing this little princess.

"The princess was joking. I just took it step by step and didn't have much plan."

Lu Zhuo thought Zhao Yang was being humble and followed Zhao Yang to learn how to deal with things.

Fortunately, the Jingzhao Mansion was able to capture Wang Shichong that day, but Cui Yan had already disappeared without a trace.

After Wang Shichong was arrested, he refused to say anything. He was originally an errand in the palace, and he was not unwelcome at first. He finally went to Meiyuan. Although it was the princess's place, she didn't go there a few times throughout the year. It didn't matter. Damn it, Wang Shichong must have had evil thoughts because of this.

It's just that this method of making money is really outrageous. Zhao Yang wants nothing more than to save those people first.

After all, he got some information from everyone, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Your Highness, these people should have been transported by carriage that night. The place where they were transported is unknown, but it shouldn't be too far away and it's very hidden."

Zhao Yang guessed that Wang Shichong and others never thought that the incident would come to light. According to Lu Zhuo's character, even if they really found something wrong, they could easily hide it.

To take a step back, Lu Zhuo really discovered her. Although she was a princess, she was just a princess. She really couldn't kill her, so there was no need to embarrass her.

That's why they feel confident.

No one expected that a murder would suddenly occur here.

The person who died did not matter, but the incident attracted the attention of the court.

As a result, Meiyuan was emptied, and many things were not dealt with in time. It actually took time to be discovered, but it was a pity that they met Zhao Yang.

The matter was revealed at once, and Wang Shichong was still confused when he was imprisoned, but for Cui Yan, he still said nothing.

If this was admitted, everything would be over.

Luyuan could not find a breakthrough several times, either without using punishment or with little effect.

Wang Shichong spoke harshly, and the interrogation was ineffective against him.

In the end, Lu Yuan found Zhao Yang, but he was a little shy to speak about this kind of thing.
