In this way for about a month, refugees began to appear in the capital. The empress heard the news and ordered the princess to investigate the matter. However, within a day, there was a flood in Youcheng, and several surrounding counties were not spared.

At this time, it has been more than half a month since the flood, but the capital has not received any news.

After the memorial was reported, the empress was furious, and all the officials knelt down one after another, asking the emperor and the people in the disaster area to be the most important, and to settle accounts together after the disaster.

The Empress pursed her lips, with a stern expression on her face, "Do all my lovers have a good plan for disaster relief?"

All the officials discussed for a whole morning, and the empress sent ministers to provide relief, and the relief supplies were all ready the next day.

When he received the news, Lan Xi was practicing martial arts with Yang Xinyun at the General's Mansion. After knowing who the officials were, he put away his soft sword, took Xin Yun's hand, and told Lu Shu and Lu He who was waiting outside, "Green book, get the carriage ready, and go to the Tainu Mansion."

"Yes, servant girl is ready now." The two bowed and left.

After the two left, Xin Yun said, "A Lan, what is this?"

"We'll talk about it together at the Empress's Mansion, or I'll have to say it a second time. It's too troublesome."

"Well, let's go, let's eat some food first, if it takes too long, we won't be too hungry." Xin Yun nodded, and walked towards the hall side by side with Lan Xi.

It was already half an hour after eating, the two of them changed into comfortable clothes, got into the carriage and headed towards the Tainu Mansion.

During the time when the two of them were eating, Lu Shu had already gone to the Tainu Mansion to inform the Tainu.

The carriage stopped, and the two dismounted one after the other. The butler of the Tainu Mansion was already waiting for them at the door.

Seeing the two dismounted, they rushed up to greet them, and said with a smile on their faces: "See the princess, the general, Your Highness the princess knew that the two were coming, and sent servants to wait here early, the princess, the general, please .”

"Well, the butler will lead the way."

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the hall, the princess came out from inside. After seeing Lan Xi and the others, the curvature of her face softened, she stretched out her hand to rub Lan Xi's head a few times, and said dotingly: "Why do you come here when you have time? I'm here? I heard that you've been staying in the general's mansion recently and don't want to go back, is there something wrong?"

Lan Xi glanced at Xinyun quickly when she heard the words, and saw that she was also looking at him, she hurriedly looked away, reached out to hold the empress's arm, and whispered coquettishly, "Sister empress, don't make fun of me, wait a while Scared people away, I should have cried."

"Okay, it's fine if I don't say anything!" The princess nodded, not continuing this topic.Moving on to other questions, "What the hell happened?"

Lan Xi looked at the group of people waiting around, wondering if there was anyone from Zhao Xi, she didn't say anything, just looked at the princess.

"Let's go to the study room to talk." Seeing her like this, the princess immediately realized that things might be more complicated than she thought, so she walked towards the study room first.

Lan Xi and Xin Yun followed.

When they got to the study, the princess let the two of them sit down, and then told the housekeeper, "You take people to watch outside, and no one is allowed to come in without my order."

"Yes." The butler led the order to retreat and closed the door of the study.

"Now there is no one else, so let's talk about it." The princess sat in the main seat, and waited quietly for Lan Xi to speak after she finished speaking.

Lan Xi nodded, and told what he had investigated during this period of time, as well as what happened in the plot, and then sat there quietly waiting for the princess to clarify the matter.

It took a long time for the princess to digest what Lan Xi said just now, "Is there any evidence for what Xi'er said? The minister sent to relieve the disaster is also a member of the second emperor's younger brother?"

Lan Xi nodded, and handed the evidence to the princess, many of which were found in Zhao Xi's study, probably because he was confident that no one would suspect him, and these evidences that could make him sentenced to death were not destroyed. It's cheaper for Lan Xi, let her copy all of them.

The princess didn't speak, she lowered her head and looked at the letters in her hand seriously, they were all letters between the second prince and some officials, and the minister who was sent to relieve the disaster this time, only replied, but you can also see some clues from it .

They not only replaced all the high-quality disaster relief food prepared by them with defective products, but also mixed it with gravel. Even so, there were still corrupt officials embezzled on the road. When the food reached the disaster area, less than one-third of it.

"These moths, how dare they? They dare to embezzle the relief food, what else are they afraid to do?" After reading half of the letter, the princess gritted her teeth angrily. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.If Xi'er hadn't discovered their actions this time, the people would not have received relief food, and many people would have died.

Not to mention the epidemic after the catastrophe, the second emperor brother...he wants to lose the hearts of the royal family!But what good does it do him?Isn't he a son of the royal family?

Xin Yun was listening to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help feeling a deep dislike for the second prince who had never met. This man was so vicious that he would give up the lives of tens of thousands of people for his own selfish desires.If one day he becomes the emperor, the people will not have a good life.

"No, I'm going to the palace, and hand over these evidences to the Queen Mother for disposal." The princess slapped the table, stood up and was about to go to the palace.

Lan Xi hurriedly grabbed her arm, now that she's gone, how can she catch all the barbarians who are staring at her like a tiger?

"Sister Huang, please wait first and tell Aunt Huang not to rush for a while. I have a suggestion. We will use our strategy to plan. We must not startle the snake. Sister Huang calls you sick and asks Aunt Huang to secretly send you to the disaster relief to deal with corrupt officials along the way and distribute disaster food. It will definitely win the hearts and minds of the people. As for the second prince, stealing chickens won’t cost you a lot of rice, and you’ll lose troops and generals.”

"Also, I also discovered that the second prince had contact with foreign races, and the letters he found were also vague, so he couldn't be convicted of his crime at once. If he escapes, there will be endless troubles." Lan Xi said calmly, but The two people who listened were not so calm, they looked closely into Lan Xi's eyes, trying to see a hint of joking, but they were destined to be disappointed.

The princess took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "Xi'er, are you...are you kidding me?"

Lan Xi shook her head.
