One year after completing his job, Gong Jiayu was recalled to Beijing by Tu Qingze, and he brought back with him the criminal evidence of the Zhen family that he ordered people to collect secretly.Although it is only part of it, it is enough to incriminate.Lin Yuxuan looked through those ledgers, and saw that the Zhen family sold private salt by occupying the salt fields, making a year's profit equal to half of the national treasury, so he couldn't help being speechless.

"The Zhen family is really burdened by the emperor's favor. It is really a heinous crime to do such a rebellious thing for their own selfish desires." Rao, a gentle and elegant person like Nuo'an, couldn't help but get angry, "I request the emperor to punish Zhen immediately. family, ransacking the family and exterminating the family, eliminating future troubles forever.”

"What the Supreme Emperor means is to ask Zhen to let the Zhen family go." Tu Qingze slammed the account book in his hand on the table.It's really embarrassing for Concubine Zhen Gui, she tried every means to offend the Zhen family members, calculated the weakness of his father's heart, and left such a way out for the Zhen family.

"The Supreme Emperor..." Nuo'an lowered his head and thought for a while, "It seems that Concubine Zhen Gui has really worked hard for the Zhen family."

"Old Madam Zhen is the nanny of the Supreme Emperor, and her daughter Zhengui is also the favorite concubine of the Supreme Emperor, so the Supreme Emperor naturally reads it." Lin Yuxuan said, "It's just that the crime of the Zhen family is too serious. Occupying the salt field is a serious crime, let alone Also accepting bribes and sponsoring officials to assassinate the ministers of the court, even killing all nine clans is also acceptable."

It was only then that everyone remembered that the people of the Zhen family had bought murderers to assassinate Lin Ruhai for Tu Qingyi. Although Lin Ruhai did not die in the end, the Supreme Emperor did not severely punish the Zhen family, and even secretly took Lin Ruhai's official position in order to protect Tu Qingyi.If it hadn't been for the fact that the Supreme Emperor Tu Qingze hadn't chosen Tu Qingyi in the end, otherwise there would have been a lot of discussions among the ministers.

Tu Qingze turned the jade wrench on his thumb, and said, "I know this matter well, you should step back first."

"I'm waiting to retire."

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the main hall, Tu Qingchen took Lin Yuxuan's hand and said, "It's rare that we don't have any business today, let's go to the bar for a drink."

"My lord, I have something to do today, I'm afraid I can't drink with you." Lin Yuxuan shook his head lightly, "Besides, the princess told me that my lord seems to have a cough occasionally, so I probably can't drink anymore."

Tu Qingchen curled his lips helplessly, and patted Lin Yuxuan's shoulder: "Then the king is going back to the mansion first. Don't think too much about it, brother Huang has his own ideas, and he will definitely not let the Zhen family go."

"I understand." Lin Yuxuan smiled.Could it be that the lord was worried that he would be angry because he could not punish the Zhen family severely now, "Your lord, let the imperial doctor take a look, I see that you look a little pale."

"It's okay." Tu Qingchen waved his hand.

Lin Yuxuan watched Tu Qingchen walk away, then slowly walked towards the palace gate.There is nothing to do today, so why not go to Qiaozhi Zhai to have a look, as if he remembered that there is a special guest today.

After Liu Xianglian got married, she told Jia Yingchun about her work in Qiaozhizhai, because after getting along with her, she found that Jia Yingchun was a quiet person, and she didn't seem like someone who would go back to her mother's house to show off.Her dowry, Siqi and Xiuju, one is hot and the other is restrained, but they are not gossips.However, Liu Xianglian also had some reservations, after all, the fact that Lin Yuxuan was the head of Qiaozhizhai could not be spread easily.

A woman in a carambola-colored dress is sitting in the VIP room of Qiaozhizhai.Lin Yuxuan pushed open the door and asked her to stand up immediately, showing a slight smile. It turned out that it was Yu Chuaner beside Mrs. Wang.This Yu Chuaner's family was originally the servants of the Rongguo Mansion. They used to serve Mrs. Wang with their sister Jin Chuan'er. Later, Jin Chuan'er was accused by Mrs. Wang of seducing Jia Baoyu. My heart is full of resentment.So when Lin Yuxuan sent Lin Hui to ask her if she would like to cooperate, Yu Chuaner agreed immediately.

"Does the Jia family know you're here today?" Lin Yuxuan poured himself a cup of tea and asked.

"Originally, Zhou Rui's family from the second wife's side came here today, but I put some laxatives in her tea." Yu Chuan'er lowered her head and said, "The second wife wants to ask Qiaozhizhai to help make a set of rubies. The head said that what the empress in the palace means is that the empress's birthday is approaching, and she wants to send it to the empress."

"Oh, this is intentional. The left and right are also Jia's money, and I will ask the shopkeeper to pick a batch of the best rubies for the queen." Lin Yuxuan took a sip of tea, "What happened to the Jia family recently? "

"Second Master Lian of the big house secretly married Second Sister You, who went to Ningguo Mansion last year at the instigation of Master Jia Zhen and Young Master Jia Rong, and invited a matchmaker to marry her; this second wife has now been admitted Rongguo Mansion. For this woman, the big house spent hundreds of taels to get someone to cancel the marriage between Second Sister You and the Zhang family of the imperial merchant."

"Hmph, Jia Lian is really daring, and the imperial concubine Wen Dun's funeral has not been completed for a year, so he dared to act like this." Lin Yuxuan smiled disdainfully, "Have you done what I asked you to do?"

"I've already found it. Waiting for the day when the building collapses, I can avenge my sister." Yu Chuan'er said in a low voice, gritted her teeth with hatred in her eyes.She and her sister had been in a good relationship since they were young, but the second wife actually caused her sister to commit suicide by jumping into a well for the name preservation festival, and in the end she hypocritically gave dozens of taels of silver as funeral expenses to whitewash the peace.

"I can rest assured that."

"May 29 is Ning Chun's birthday, is there anything Ning Chun wants?" The queen asked with a smile while putting her arms around Ning Chun.

"The queen mother will spoil her." Shuyi looked at Ning Chun, who was acting like a baby in the queen's arms, and took a bite of snacks with a smile. "It's only April, and the queen mother always spoils her like this. Now is my little lesson." Just look at her, she knows to use the queen mother as an excuse, saying that she wants to enter the palace to sue me."

"Hey, what did Ning Chun do wrong to be taught by her mother?" Seeing Ning Chun pouted, the queen teased her.

"Ning Chun didn't do anything wrong," Ning Chun squeezed the pastry in his hand, "My brother can't eat those pastries, so I had to help my brother eat them."

"Don't eat after eating pastries, no wonder grandma hasn't grown taller after seeing you." The queen compared Bining Chun's height, "If you don't eat anymore, you will become round and fat like a little fox .”

"I don't want to become like a little fox!" Ning Chun hurriedly said, "Ning Chun will eat well."

"That's good." The queen patted Ning Chun's head, "Okay, I'll ask Ran Dong to take you to see Grandma Tai." After saying that, she called Ran Dong to take her out.

"Did the queen mother have anything to say to me?" Shuyi asked.Her mother asked someone to take Ning Chun away on purpose. She must have something to say but she was worried that Ning Chun would talk nonsense after hearing it, so she did so.

"Your grandpa is ill." The queen drank a cup of tea and said, "Your father means that the princes and princes will take turns to serve the sick. It's just that your fourteenth uncle can't enter the palace because he is away on business. But you have to prepare yourself." I mean, maybe one day I will call you into the palace."

Shuyi frowned.If you want to call a married princess into the palace, you will only do so when the emperor is seriously ill, no wonder you have to send Ning Chun away.Moreover, she also heard from Lin Yuxuan that the Fourteenth Uncle was out of Beijing for business. It is said that it was to investigate the deficit of Jiangnan weaving, but the emperor's grandfather fell ill right after the Fourteenth Uncle left Beijing.However, she was always calm, she just asked: "Then Grandpa Huang is in good health."

"It looks pretty good now, but the old man's body is not as good as when he was young, and his recovery is slower. Now the empress dowager and the concubine Angui are serving by the emperor's side, and the king of Chengjun and the king of Jianjun go to the palace every day. Stay with me." The queen said, "You probably don't have to bring Ning Chun into the palace to pay your respects these days, but you still need to visit your grandpa more often."

"Daughter understands." Shuyi smiled and nodded.After the aunt next to the empress dowager sent Ning Chun back, and went to the Supreme Emperor to say hello together, she took Ning Chun out of the palace and returned to the mansion.There must be something strange about this matter. She has to discuss it with her husband before deciding what to do.

"Do you know about Grandpa Huang being ill?" On the night of An's return, Shuyi asked Lin Yuxuan who was sitting under a candle reading a book after Shuyi coaxed the children to sleep.

"I just heard Prince Gong mention it. It seems that the old illness has relapsed, so I have a fever." Lin Yuxuan put down the book in his hand, and seeing Shuyi's troubled look, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"The queen mother talked to me today..." Shuyi repeated what the queen told her today before saying: "I always feel that there is some deep meaning in the queen mother's words."

Zhongshun Wang Tuqingxi was sent out of Beijing by Tu Qingze after he got the account books of the Zhen family. On the surface, he was going to investigate the corruption and deficit of the Jiangnan weaving chief, but secretly gave him time to discuss with the Zhen family how to stop the emperor. Deal with the Zhen family.Lin Yuxuan didn't know why Tu Qingze made such a decision, but since the emperor made it, he naturally had his reasons.

"Are you thinking too much?" Lin Yuxuan said with a smile, "The empress told you to go and please the Supreme Emperor, then go, after all, to do your part of filial piety."

"Maybe you are right." Shuyi also felt that she was a little paranoid, "Grandpa Huang is not young anymore. Although I saw him often in the past, he was always so mighty in my memory. But I saw him today After seeing him, I realized that he will also grow old, and his weak appearance in bed has really changed a lot from before."

"Everyone will get sick and grow old. This is a must in life. Don't be too emotional." Lin Yuxuan patted her hand, "I have already arranged for Ning Chun to hire a master. The scholar who was not selected in the first session of Qiu Wei, his knowledge is very good, I plan to invite him to come over and ask Ning Chun to do homework."

"Okay. It's just a scholar who was unsuccessful in the last session. Will he take the exam again this year? If that's the case, he won't stay in our house for a long time."

"I asked. This gentleman has taken the imperial examination for more than ten years, but he failed in the imperial examination, so he doesn't plan to take the exam again. After this appointment, he will be called Ning Chun and Wei'er for homework, and I plan to call Mo Chengdang It is also good for Weil's future martial arts masters to practice riding and archery."

"The son-in-law is more thoughtful." Shuyi nodded.Children's affairs are always big things. When you mention your children's study, you forget about your doubts.
