Imperial Palace Qianhe Hall

At this time, the King of Western Chu, wearing a bright yellow robe, was sitting on the dragon throne. He exuded the aura of a king who shook the world. He looked at the ministers below, each of whom had his own ulterior motives.

Crown Prince Chu Chenxiao did not attend the morning court today due to illness. Many ministers below were privately speculating on the reason why the crown prince did not attend the morning court. Some ministers guessed that the delicate crown prince was ill again, and some ministers said that they knew the crown prince was poisoned, but they did not know what the poison was.

Xue Xiang and several officials of Prince Yu's faction knew the truth, but at this time Xue Xiang and Prince Yu were still under house arrest and did not attend the morning court. Xue Xiang's eldest son, Xue Jianming, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was also in the morning court. He and his father believed that the prince was poisoned yesterday, and they were secretly happy in their hearts, hoping that the prince would die of the poison as soon as possible.

Chu Chenjing stood aside coldly without saying a word. He looked at the disgusting faces of those people and thought to himself, let you guys be happy for a few days first.

The officials on the prince's side all looked troubled; they were worried about the prince's condition.

Chu Chenjing was ready to deal with Yu Deming and his group at any time today. Yu Deming brought people to the mansion yesterday and made a scene, and took away his precious daughter Yu Manyue. He would definitely blame him at the morning court today. Yu Deming was a member of the Queen Mother's faction. When they knew that their eldest brother was ill today, they would definitely take the opportunity to suppress him.

But now it has been an hour since the morning court session, and Yu Deming has not come. Could it be that he is angry at home and sick? He guessed right, but it was not because he was angry, but because a shocking event happened in Yu Mansion.

The people of the Queen Mother's lineage were also confused. Wasn't Yu Deming going to criticize Prince Jing today? Why hadn't he come to court yet?

After a while, the emperor asked, "Is there anything else to report?"

"Your Majesty, Yu Deming has not come to the court this morning." At this time, the Imperial Censor Shi Huaixin said. He is the emperor's man and does not side with either faction, but he has a grudge against Yu Deming in private, and the two are always at loggerheads. Today, he has just caught him with something wrong.

Wu Haofeng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War from Yu Deming's faction, quickly said, "Lord Yu must have been unable to attend the court for special reasons. Your Majesty, please calm down."

"Yu Deming didn't come and didn't ask for leave from the emperor? That would be disrespectful to the emperor."

"Master Yu must be ill."

"Yu Deming is so proud that he didn't come to court or ask for leave. I don't know if he is really sick or just faking it!"

While the two sides were arguing fiercely, Dali Temple Minister Shao Wanbo hurried over and waited outside the palace, with important matters to report to the emperor.

"Xuan."

He hurried into the palace and knelt down, "Your Majesty, a bizarre case occurred in Kyoto last night."

"explain."

"The study and storeroom of Yu Shangshu's house were robbed. The strange thing is that the storeroom and study were completely robbed. Only a few empty shelves were left in the storeroom, and only the Shangshu's bed was left in the study. No desk, books, or bookshelves were left! I have personally checked, but there is no trace left in Yu's house!"

All the ministers were stunned and talked about it.

"What kind of thief is so capable that he can empty the storeroom and study overnight."

"It turns out that Yu Deming didn't come because his house was robbed."

"Who did Yu Deming offend?"

Chu Chenjing was standing there and was also shocked. What a capable thief this was.

"Didn't you find any traces?" asked the emperor.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing found in the entire Kyoto."

"With so many things stolen, there must be many people transporting them. Check quickly!"

"Yes!" The Dali Temple Minister left the hall.

"Everyone loves you, if you have something to do, you will start to report, but if there is nothing, you will withdraw from the court."

No one played, and the emperor became a little concerned about the prince's condition, so he stood up. Eunuch Hong: "Dismiss."

All the ministers walked out of the hall, discussing the theft in Yu Mansion as they walked, and they were also worried that thieves would visit their own mansions.

Chu Chenjing walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back. The fourth prince Chu Chenyan caught up with Chu Chenjing and said, "Third brother, how is the health of the crown prince?"

……

Ouyang Yunyao didn't know that her amazing move had caused a stir in Kyoto, even alarmed the emperor, and was simply earth-shattering bad news for the Yu Mansion. She also didn't know that the entire Kyoto was in an uproar because of the theft in the Yu Mansion.

She woke up in the morning, feeling very happy. She lay on the bed and entered the space to check the spoils she had looted from Yu Mansion last night. The space robot Jiji had sorted out the boxes she had put into the space. More than a hundred large boxes were arranged in different categories on the open space in the space. There were more than thirty boxes of gold ingots, more than forty boxes of silver ingots, one box of land deeds and silver bills, and countless rare treasures, silks and satins, precious medicinal materials, porcelain antiques, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and finally a box of account books and letters.

Ouyang Yunyao opened a box of gold nearby. Inside, there were a thousand gold ingots neatly arranged in five layers. She murmured, "What a corrupt official! When I have time, I will definitely check the account books and letters to see how much of the people's money he has plundered and what conspiracies he has! I also need to plan how to use this money to help the people."

She left the space, had breakfast, and took Xiao Cui and Xing'er to check on the injuries of the two mothers-in-law. She then arranged for Xing'er to teach several maids and servants in the academy to read and write.

After finishing all this, she went back to her room and told Xiao Cui that she wanted to be quiet for a while and write something, so she should not be disturbed. Xiao Cui warmed a pot of tea and gently placed it next to Ouyang Yunyao's hand, then tiptoed out of the room and gently closed the door.

Ouyang Yunyao took out a pad, a capacitive pen and a portable solar printer from the space, and then began to write a detailed plan on the pad.

She wanted to settle the children in the Huicui House on West Street well and designed the rooms where the children lived into modern student dormitories, with each of them having their own cozy bed and small wardrobe, and two square tables in the middle of the room so that they could study and live together without worries.

Make two more parallel bars for the children so that they can keep fit while studying. She thought about it and drew a blueprint of the parallel bars. She should make a few more sets of training clothes for the children so that they can wear them during class. Ouyang Yunyao smiled knowingly when she thought of this. Last time, she asked the people in the village to make more than a dozen backpacks for them. With the more than 20 backpacks they made before, they were just enough for the children.

She casually drew a few more drawings of the house, the archery range and the training ground, and prepared to print them out and give them to Fang, the steward of the manor, to ask him to build the house next to the small hillside on the manor and to complete the archery range and the training ground as soon as possible.

She was going to talk to her eldest and second brothers about the situation, and give them some arrows and guns, and also send some of her best crossbows to her father's army. She didn't know if Chu Chenjing had made the drawings she gave him.

Everything was done. She put the pad, capacitive pen and portable solar printer into the space. After she detoxified the prince at night, she planned to prepare for the opening of the hot pot restaurant and the development of Fengyun Pavilion.
