After the peace talks were successfully concluded, the Yang brothers and sisters returned to the city with a group of people in a mighty manner, and re-lived in the Prince Ji's Mansion.The emperor sent Shangguan Liuyun to live in the palace temporarily, saying it was to help, but in fact it was for surveillance, Yang Yingjun didn't bother to bother, he was really busy with the relocation, how could he have time to take care of these nosy matters?Fortunately, there was a preparation for relocation before, so I wouldn't run around like a chicken without a head.

Compared with the busyness of the princess, King Ji is at ease.He should eat and drink every day, and then hang around Shangguan Liuyun if he has nothing to do-it's completely nympho again.

"Liuyun! I brought something good for you to eat!"

Upon hearing this voice, the veins on Shangguan Liuyun's forehead burst out immediately.He didn't know whether this King Ji was really stupid, or just pretending to be crazy, and he was clearly ordered to monitor him, but he was lucky, rushing to report every day.

Yang Meili happily ran over with a bag of mutton buns she just bought from outside, with a bright smile on her face, and her innocent appearance like a child who doesn't know much about the world.

Shangguan Liuyun had no choice but to stand up to greet him: "My lord."

"I've said it many times, so there's no need to be polite." Yang Meili couldn't wait to open the oiled paper bag, and said, "Smell it, it smells so good, let's eat it while it's hot!"

"..." Shangguan Liuyun cupped his hands helplessly: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, I am not hungry."

Wu Yao, who was following Yang Meili, gave him a sympathetic look, although he didn't know the intention of his prince pestering him, but what he did was really embarrassing, his flattering appearance was like a disciple pestering a famous actress and oiran.

Yang Meili didn't give up and said, "Eat some if you're not hungry. It's really delicious. I bought it after waiting in line for a long time."

Wu Yao retorted from the bottom of his heart: Obviously I was in the queue!

Shangguan Liuyun couldn't bear it anymore and said: "King Ji! How long do you want to humiliate me!?"

"Ah?" Yang Meili was stunned.

Shangguan Liuyun seemed to have finally been provoked, his stunning face flushed red with anger, like a peach blossom under the morning glow, becoming more and more charming.He approached Yang Meili step by step, and said viciously: "I know you are deliberately teasing me, you just want to say that I am the emperor's male favourite, but let me tell you, I, Shangguan Liuyunxing, sit upright..."

Yang Meili stared blankly at his approaching face, staggered back, and was finally cornered.She couldn't hear what Shangguan Liuyun was saying excitedly over there, only the sound of her heart beating wildly in her ears.

Shangguan Liuyun spoke dryly, but he saw King Ji staring at him with straight eyes, which made him furious: "King Ji, don't try to deceive others too much!"

Wu Yao suddenly stepped between them, looked at him coldly, and said, "Master Shangguan, please pay attention to your identity."

Shangguan Liuyun took a look at Wu Yao, his mind dazed by anger regained a little bit of reason, he flicked his sleeves angrily, and said: "Your official is not feeling well, so I won't accompany you anymore, please go ahead."

Being kicked out just like that, Yang Meili sighed sadly as she looked at the arches in the courtyard of "Welcome House".

Wu Yao said helplessly, "Why did the prince tease him?"

Yang Meili shouted wronged: "I didn't tease him! Why do you all think I'm teasing him? I just want to be friends with him, can't I?"

"..." Seeing his aggrieved face, Wu Yao pondered for a while and said, "But he belongs to the emperor."

Yang Meili flattened her mouth: "I know that..."

Her depressed appearance resembled an innocent puppy, Wu Yao couldn't help laughing, restrained the urge to touch her head, and said softly: "My lord, the mutton bun should be cold."

"Ah! That's right!" Yang Meili opened the paper bag, took out a piece and handed it to Wu Yao: "Here."

Her demeanor was so natural, Wu Yao was stunned for a moment: "The subordinate is not hungry, the prince still stays with the princess..."

"I don't want to give it to him!" Yang Meili forced the mutton bun into Wu Yao's hands, and said with a smile, "Let's find a place to eat slowly! Hmm... How about going to your room? There are few people there."

Looking at her flickering peach blossom eyes, Wu Yao really couldn't say no to her: "...Yes."

Yang Yingjun is very busy these days. As soon as the news that King Ji is leaving the capital comes out, the first crisis he has to face is that the Guangyuan Bank opened by the Wangfu is facing a run on phenomenon.Fortunately, the properties located in other cities in the north have been sold earlier, otherwise the funds may not be able to turn around.However, if a wealthy and powerful person is not found to take over the bank as soon as possible, the palace may go bankrupt.So in the past two days, he took Steward Wang to run around, and frequently contacted the dignitaries in the capital, in order to get rid of the bank as soon as possible.But those old and cunning people knew that the emperor had ordered Ji Wangfu to leave the capital within five days, so they deliberately lowered Yang Yingjun's price.Going on like this is not an option. After discussing with Steward Wang, Yang Yingjun decided to auction off the properties of the Wangfu.

"What?" The emperor was surprised: "An open auction?"

Shangguan Liuyun said: "Yes, the news has spread throughout the capital."

The emperor suddenly smiled as if thinking of something: "Such an eccentric idea must have come from Princess Ji, right?"

Shangguan Liuyun said: "Your majesty is wise. The emperor ordered the palace to leave the capital within ten days. Therefore, during this period, Prince Ji's residence is very busy, especially Princess Ji. It can be said that the affairs inside and outside the palace are all handled by the princess alone. Monopoly. In the two days since I stayed in the palace, I have almost never met the princess."

The emperor frowned slightly, and said in displeasure: "What did Prince Ji do? Why did the concubine have to handle everything alone? Do you want her to show up as a woman?"

Shangguan Liuyun said contemptuously: "Ji Wang eats, drinks and plays in the palace every day, and ignores other things."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and said: "You said... Could this be a plot by King Ji?"

Shangguan Liuyun was startled: "Why did the emperor say that?"

"It stands to reason that the last time Fenghuamen bloodbathed the Prince's Palace, King Ji should have expected that their purpose was to communicate with the enemy's secret letter, but after so many days, King Ji neither checked the location of the secret letter, nor sent another secret letter. Don’t you think there is something strange about threatening the Queen Mother in the name of the letter?”

Shangguan Liuyun said: "Back to the emperor, I have inquired in private, and the servants in the palace said that the prince seems to have suffered from some strange and complicated diseases, and he can't remember many things. For this reason, Princess Ji also specially hired a Mr. Historian went to the mansion to explain the history of our dynasty to King Ji."

The emperor slowly sat up straight: "Is this really true? Isn't it a trap set by King Ji?"

"I'm not even sure. King Ji is a man of deep scheming, pretending to be crazy on the surface, and I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd."

The emperor said: "You continue to live in the palace, but remember not to contact Wushuang, so as not to be suspected."

"Wei Chen understands. As long as Wei Chen stays in the palace for a day, Ji Wang and his wife will definitely be wary of me. In this way, their attention will be distracted, making it easier for Wushuang and Nei Ying to find out the whereabouts of the secret letter."

"Aiqing is really exquisite and translucent."

The emperor smiled and said, "When will the palace be open for auction?"

"Back to the emperor, it is said that it will be at noon tomorrow, in the Liyuan."

The emperor was taken aback: "The Liyuan? But the Liyuan where the rich opera troupe in the capital is located?"

Shangguan Liuyun said: "Exactly."

The emperor said thoughtfully: "Why did you choose this place? This is the place where Wu Shuang used to pretend to be an actor and approach King Ji."

Shangguan Liuyun was surprised and said: "Could it be that Princess Ji has long doubted Wushuang's identity? Your Majesty, is Wushuang in danger? It's better...it's better to let her evacuate as soon as possible..."

The emperor glanced over coldly, Shangguan Liuyun was so frightened that he knelt on the ground in a hurry, not daring to speak again.

"I know that if you care about it, it will lead to chaos, but remember, those who achieve great things should avoid chaos."

Shangguan Liuyun panicked and said: "My humble servant will always remember the emperor's instruction."

The emperor leaned back lazily, looked at the carved beams and painted buildings, and smiled faintly: "Tomorrow, I will go and see for myself what tricks they are playing."

***

"Mom, I'm exhausted..."

After sunset, Yang Yingjun dragged his tired body back to the palace, and told Steward Wang, "Butler Wang, hurry up and order dinner! I'm starving to death!"

Steward Wang took the order and left.

Mei Rong greeted her and said, "Your Majesty, are you back? Why are you so haggard? Are you exhausted?"

"Don't mention it. I've been facing a group of profiteers all day long, and my brain cells have died. Rong'er, come here and help me squeeze my shoulders. It's so sore."

"Yes."

Yang Yingjun walked into the middle hall, and he slumped on the grand teacher's chair. Mei Rong walked behind him and massaged his shoulders.He closed his eyes comfortably, sighing contentedly through his nose.

"By the way, where is the prince?"

Mei Rong said: "Go back to your mother, the slaves have never seen it."

Yang Yingjun sighed in his heart: This dead girl, is she going to pester Shangguan Liuyun again?It's really irrational, knowing that Shangguan Liuyun is the emperor's confidant, yet he has no defense at all, alas!

"Your Majesty," someone walked in quickly, saluted and said, "Mr. Du is asking to see you outside."

Yang Yingjun was stunned: "Mr. Du?"

Mei Rong said annoyedly: "Why is it him again? Madam, let the slaves send him away?"

Yang Yingjun sat up straight, and said: "No, he is the accountant after all, and the accountant is probably in a mess recently, maybe there is something urgent, let him come in."

Mei Rong said: "What's the matter? If there is really a problem with the accounts, you should go to Concubine Rong! How can you bother the empress with everything?"

Yang Yingjun smiled and took her hand, held it and patted it: "I know you love me, but Yu Jia is not feeling well recently, so don't bother her with these trivial matters."

Mei Rong pursed her lips and said, "Niang Niang, even if you are so kind-hearted, you are not afraid of tiring yourself."

While speaking, Du Han had already come in. He hadn't seen him for a few days, and he looked a lot thinner. The blue cloth clothes on his body looked empty.

"Kowtow to see the princess."

"Mr. Du please get up."

"Thank you madam."

When Du Han got up, Yang Yingjun vaguely smelled a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs, felt familiar, and couldn't help frowning in thought.

Mei Rong glared at Du Han, and said in a very impatient tone: "If you have something to say, hurry up, your mother is very tired after traveling all day."

Du Han bowed and said, "If you delay your mother's rest, I really deserve to die."

Yang Yingjun said: "Sir, why are you looking for me?"

Du Han quickly raised his head to look at him, then lowered his head and said, "Madam, I heard from Butler Wang that you intend to send me away? Is this serious?"

"Presumptuous!" Mei Rong said angrily, "Your Majesty makes a decision, how dare you have any objections? You are so courageous to disturb your Majesty for such a trivial matter!"

Du Han knelt on the ground again with a "plop", and said, "Your Majesty, I have always been loyal to the palace, but I don't know why, Your Majesty wants to drive me away?"

Yang Yingjun sighed silently, and said: "Mr. Du must have already known that the emperor appointed the prince as the King of Zhennan, and the palace will leave the capital within ten days. From now on, he will leave his hometown and settle in the south of the Yangtze River. He may not be able to return to Beijing for the rest of his life. Mr. Wang is the accountant hired by the Wangfu, and he has never signed a contract of sale with the Wangfu, so there is no reason to leave Beijing with us. It is better to make plans as soon as possible and find another job."

Du Han knocked his head on the ground, sobbing, and said: "I have no relatives or reason, the lord and empress have shown me a mountain of kindness, and I am willing to move to the south of the Yangtze River with my empress. If necessary, I am willing to sign a contract of sale and be loyal to the palace for the rest of my life."

It was the first time Yang Yingjun met someone who was eager to sell himself, and he was speechless: "...Why are you doing this?"

Du Han suddenly raised his head, looked at Yang Yingjun with tearful eyes, and said: "Du Han wishes to follow my mother forever, and I just ask my mother not to drive Du Han away."

There was a strange feeling in his heart, Yang Yingjun didn't know how to deal with it, but fortunately Mei Rong said: "Joke! You are just an accountant, don't you still try to follow your mother? I think you have evil intentions! Your mother, Don't be softhearted."

It seems that Du Han really has other thoughts about him, and it is impossible not to cut off his thoughts as soon as possible.

Yang Yingjun made up his mind, then lowered his face and said: "My concubine has already decided that all external hires will leave the mansion after the expiration date, without exception. Mr. Du has worked hard for the mansion for many years, and I will let Steward Wang send you more twice the salary."

"My lady..."

Yang Yingjun sternly reprimanded: "Still not backing down!?"

Du Han was too frightened to cry anymore, stood up silently, and was about to leave dejectedly.Suddenly I heard the princess say again: "Wait a minute..." Thinking that the princess had changed her mind, she happily turned back and asked, "What orders does your empress have?"

Yang Yingjun finally couldn't help but asked out his confusion: "Have you ever used medicine on your body?"

Du Han's smile stagnated: "Huh?"

Yang Yingjun frowned and said, "Is there some spice or something? Why is the smell so familiar..."

Du Han raised his arm and sniffed himself, showing a dazed expression, cupped his hands and said: "Go back to your mother, I accidentally burned the firewood when I was cooking yesterday. I just put on burn ointment before coming to see my mother, maybe it smells like ointment."

"Scald ointment?" Yang Yingjun still felt that something was wrong, and said, "Have you brought it with you?"

"I'm bringing it." Du Han took out something that looked like a rouge box from his arms, and respectfully offered it to Mei Rong who came over.

Mei Rong snatched it away, handed it to Yang Yingjun, and said, "Madam, this is a new product that Shangchuntang just released two months ago. It can also remove scars."

Yang Yingjun opened the lid of the ointment and sniffed it closer, the smell became stronger.He was almost certain that he had smelled it somewhere, but he just couldn't remember it.

Where exactly is it...
