On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

"Investigate for me! Who is it that wants to disrupt my Dacheng?"

Ji Xunchuan frowned, grabbed the letter at hand and threw it on the ground.

Everyone in the palace knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

The Dali Temple's Shaoqing slowly stepped forward and carefully looked at the note that contained the treasonous words.

"Your Majesty, this is oil paper. Even if it is soaked in water, it will not rot, let alone in the belly of a fish. The person who came up with this idea is very thoughtful."

But as soon as he finished speaking, the fishmonger seemed to come back to his senses and stood up suddenly.

"That's a live fish, jumping around! It's right in front of me, this... this! God is killing me..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was dragged out by the guards beside him.

Ji Xunchuan was already furious, and the fishmonger's words just now undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. He angrily waved his sleeves and said, "If anyone spreads this rumor again, I will kill him without mercy!"

"You, go and investigate thoroughly. Buy back all the fish on the market. I want to see who it is!"

Ji Xunchuan gritted his teeth and suddenly pointed at the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Receiving this important task, Shao Qing trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, I obey your order."

"Miss, yesterday I specifically told the kitchen that you wanted fish soup. Today I went to get it, but the kitchen said that there was no fish left in the market."

Qing'e frowned and handed over the Tremella soup at hand.

Hearing this, Shen Wantang raised her eyebrows with a smile on her face: "From now on, fish will be hard to buy."

In just a few hours, all the fish from all the fishmongers in the market were sold out.

Even by the small stream in the suburbs of Beijing, there were people guarding every few meters. When they saw movement in the river, they would quickly scoop up the fish. A group of people had already quietly left the city and were searching upstream along the river.

The Taiji Hall was brightly lit with candles. It was already night, but Ji Xunchuan was still too worried to fall asleep.

Shen Ying sent people to look for her many times, but there was no news.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor treats you like this, you..." The maid beside her couldn't bear to watch it any longer. She had used several times more rouge than usual to put on makeup for Shen Ying today. Her body was covered with wounds, and she looked not much better than a tortured person in prison.

But before she could finish her words, Shen Ying slapped her hard in the face: "Useless thing, don't let me hear you say such depressing words again."

The maid hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Shen Ying's pupils shrank, and she spoke slowly: "What do you know? Now the emperor has no children. If I can give birth to a child, it will be a great prince! No matter how hard Shen Wantang tries, she can't catch up with me. In the future, my son will do well, and I will be crowned queen in no time! Compared with these hardships now, these good days are nothing!"

"It is my fault for being short-sighted. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." The maid kowtowed repeatedly, her forehead already red and swollen.

Shen Ying then glanced at him coldly: "Get up."

"I haven't seen my good sister for a long time. I heard that she was dying. I have never seen her like this before. In this case, I will be kind and send her off."

As the words fell, a hint of viciousness spread across Shen Ying's eyes.

The next morning.

"Your Majesty! I led people to patrol the entire river and salvaged all the fish in the river." The Shaoqing of the Dali Temple spoke respectfully and then handed over the memorial.

"Compared with the fish sold in the past, this year, nearly 80% of the fish are of this type. I found a yard in the suburbs of Beijing with many fish baskets, many of which were still wet. The thief should have left not long ago, but I was incompetent and failed to catch him..."

Shaoqing lowered his voice, his brows full of apology.

Ji Xunchuan waved his hand and looked at the person in front of him: "Keep investigating! If you can't find the real culprit, I'll take your head!"

Shaoqing stood up tremblingly.

After a sleepless night, Ji Xunchuan rubbed his brows and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Xia Huai'en?"

The eunuch at the side came forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Lord Xia asked for leave a few days ago, saying that it was the anniversary of his parents' death and he rushed back to his hometown to pay respects!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xunchuan frowned, slammed his palm on the table, and shouted sternly: "It's a national event, but now he is hiding away! Someone! Go find him for me!"

In the hall, only Ji Xunchuan's voice echoed in his ears.

The eunuch trembled: "Your Majesty, this, this is probably..."

"What are you afraid of? Hmm? Go find it. If you can't find it, I'll take your dog head!"

Before his father-in-law could finish his words, Ji Xunchuan kicked him.

The eunuch fell down, tumbling and crawling, and his already broken body was further injured.

The sky was bright, and the usually bustling market was now deserted, with even fewer vendors.

There were more and more patrol officers on the streets, staring at the roadside vendors with fierce eyes.

Even those who had the courage to set up stalls were still scared away by these people.

A tall carriage drove slowly over, and the imperial guards leading the way drove away all the people around it.

"I have never come out since entering the palace, and now, this is the scene." Shen Ying looked around, shook her head in disgust, and fanned her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Your Majesty, you may not know that the Emperor has been catching rebels these days, so the streets are inevitably a little deserted." The eunuch beside him spoke respectfully.

"Have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?" Shen Ying glanced at the eunuch beside him and asked coldly.

The eunuch smiled flatteringly, nodded and bowed: "Your Majesty's instructions, I will keep them in mind."

Hearing this, Shen Ying nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, after all, it's for my elder sister, and this is the last thing I give her.

At that time, the housekeeper who was rushing back to the mansion after buying groceries saw the grand carriage. Although it was far away, he could see Shen Ying with her face covered by the gauze curtain at a glance.

A feeling of uneasiness flashed through his mind, and he quickly found a shortcut and hurried over.

As soon as he returned home, the housekeeper immediately rushed to the White Dove Room where he had sneaked back because he was not used to living in the Cen family.

Bai Ge had excellent hearing. Before the butler rushed in, he stood up suddenly.

The butler rushed in and made some gestures. Bai Ge frowned, picked up the sword beside him in an instant, and prepared to rush out the door.

The housekeeper tried his best to stop him, frowning: "You must not do that. The Second Miss is now a member of the palace. If something goes wrong, the First Miss will be the first to suffer. Go find the First Miss quickly, I'll hold on here!"

The white dove then regained its composure, nodded, and then disappeared without a trace.

The carriage slowly stopped, and looking at the Shen Mansion that was once bustling with people, it is now deserted.

The imperial guards in front came forward and knocked on the door: "Someone! Concubine Ying from the palace is here!"

"No need to knock, just break it open."
