For a moment, Ye Jintang didn't know how to evaluate Nanny Qiu.

You may say she is kind, but she colluded with the bad guys to poison the good princess.

You might say she was cruel, but she sacrificed her own child's life in order to save the princess's.

This is the fate of working in the palace. Sometimes your destiny is not your own. The four words "nothing can happen to you" are fully reflected in the palace people.

In Wutong Palace, Ye Jintang placed the secret letter sent by the Yulin Guards on the table.

"It is basically certain that Xu Guixiang is the real princess."

"Yes, if it weren't for the fact that Aunt Qiu raised Xu Guixiang, I would have wiped out all nine generations of her family."

Xiao Mo hated his mother to death. If his mother hadn't been too sad because she had just lost her little daughter, how could she be so desperate and not want to live?

Those who harmed his mother should be reduced to ashes.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that there is Liang Zhiyun in the palace."

"Alas, I don't know whether it was right or wrong to let Zhiyun enter the palace."

"Since it has already happened, Your Majesty should not think too much about it."

Ye Jintang tried to comfort Xiao Mo, but in his heart he was thinking that Xiao Mo was such a rational person on weekdays, but he lost his rationality when it came to things related to Queen Jiang, his sister.

It seems that no one is perfect, and emperors like Xiao Mo also have shortcomings.

"I will arrange for Zhiyun to leave the palace as soon as possible."

Xiao Mo had already prepared a big gift for her when he sent her out of the palace, so that their acquaintance would be worthwhile.

Liang Zhiyun, who has been living in a luxurious palace, still dreams of becoming Xiao Mo's concubine.

When she saw Xiao Mo coming to Ting Yuxuan to see her in person, she was so happy that she couldn't say a word.

"It's been a while since I last saw Your Majesty. Your Majesty looks much more energetic than when he was in Tanqu Prefecture."

"Yes, after returning to the palace, the Queen has been making all kinds of medicinal food for me. Naturally, my spirits are better than when I was outside the palace."

Xiao Mo didn't chat too much with Liang Zhiyun, he just stated his purpose directly.

"Zhiyun, have you ever thought about leaving the palace in the future?"

Liang Zhiyun was shocked. She didn't expect Xiao Mo to ask this.

Ever since she entered the palace, she has never thought about leaving.

"I am a stupid woman, I will obey the emperor's orders in everything."

"Your injuries have almost healed. I think it is not a long-term solution for you to stay in the palace. It is better for you to go to the Medical Girls' School to learn a skill. Then you can support yourself in the future."

When Xiao Mo finished speaking, Liang Zhiyun thought she had heard it wrong. She looked at Xiao Mo in disbelief, and was greatly shocked.

Ever since she entered the palace, she always thought that Xiao Mo would first make her a concubine of a lower rank, but she didn't expect that what she was waiting for was that he wanted to send her out of the palace.

"Your Majesty, did Zhiyun do something wrong that angered Your Majesty, so Your Majesty wants to drive Zhiyun out of the palace."

When Liang Zhiyun said this, Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a hint of displeasure.

If Liang Zhiyun was not his sister, it would be overstepping the mark for a peasant girl like Liang Zhiyun to speak to him like that.

She seems to have forgotten her identity?

For a moment, Xiao Mo felt a little annoyed. Was he too nice to Liang Zhiyun?

"Don't think too much. I'll have someone escort you out of the palace and give you some silver. Live your life well."

Xiao Mo stood up and walked away without even looking at Liang Zhiyun.

Liang Zhiyun watched Xiao Mo walk out of the inner palace gate, and finally realized that she was about to be kicked out of the palace.

She wanted to chase Xiao Mo, but was stopped by the housekeeper beside her.

"Miss Liang, please respect yourself."

"You are not the emperor's concubine, but you have lived in the palace for such a long time. You have already attracted a lot of rumors. If you want to marry a good family in the future, please don't cause any more trouble."

"me."

Even though Liang Zhiyun really wanted to be Xiao Mo's concubine, she was a girl after all, and there were some things she couldn't say in front of others.

In the end, she could only reluctantly leave the gorgeous Tingyuxuan and the charming harem.

The news of Liang Zhiyun leaving the palace quickly spread throughout the capital.

Those ministers who wanted to send their daughters to the palace had already given up hope because of the last time the Bai family was raided. Liang Zhiyun's departure from the palace made them even more certain that their choice was the right one.

In the future, if anyone is tired of living and wants to die, he should send his own daughter to the palace.

Time flies quickly after entering the twelfth lunar month, and it’s New Year’s Eve in the blink of an eye.

Ever since Xiao Mo knew Xu Guixiang was his sister, his mood had visibly improved.

Almost every few days, he would go to Deyue Tower.

Sometimes I just went there to have a meal, and sometimes I just went there to talk to Xu Guixiang.

After a few interactions, I gradually became familiar with Xu Guixiang.

This time, he was not in a hurry to bring Xu Guixiang into the palace, nor did he reveal his identity.

"Brother Xiao, are you going to Deyue Tower today too?"

Today is New Year's Eve, and many restaurants in the capital are still open. Some people who come to the capital to do business and cannot return to their hometowns for reunion will get together with their friends in restaurants. This is better than going back to face an empty house by themselves.

That is why most major restaurants in Beijing are open on New Year's Eve.

"This year I don't have to spend New Year's Eve in the palace with the ministers. We will go to Deyue Tower for lunch, and stay up with the children at night."

Seeing Xiao Mo in a good mood, Ye Jintang couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever thought about telling Xu Guixiang the truth?"

"You've also seen that everyone in the palace lives an extremely tiring life. If possible, I don't want Xu Guixiang to enter the palace, and I don't even want to recognize her."

Xiao Mo was silent for a moment and then continued, "As long as she lives a happy life, it doesn't matter if she is not a princess."

This time, Liang Zhiyun’s incident made Xiao Mo realize completely that he had no choice as long as he was in the palace.

Liang Zhiyun had just moved into Tingyuxuan not long ago when Bai Wanqing started to target her.

If he allowed Xu Guixiang to live in the palace and he acknowledged her identity as a princess, besides being able to enjoy wealth and glory, she would also be in countless troubles.

Instead of living a life full of intrigue, it is better to live an ordinary life like now.

"That's fine. If I had to choose now, I would rather be a merchant than a queen. It's so tiring to do so much work every day."

Ye Jintang thought of her dream when she first came to Tian Qin Kingdom. It would be so nice to be an idle princess in a fiefdom, eating and drinking every day and living a carefree life.

It’s nothing like now when I have to review memorials every day and handle state affairs with Xiao Mo, and I’m busy like a top.

"Oh, if I let you choose again, you won't choose me?"

Xiao Mo took a step forward, took Ye Jintang into his arms, and looked down at her.

"Choose, why wouldn't I choose you? Brother Xiao is so good to me. Even if I have to choose a hundred times, I will still choose Brother Xiao."

Xiao Mo couldn't help but kiss Ye Jintang gently on the lips, "You are so sweet today."

The two of them packed up a bit and went to Deyue Tower together.

They are already regular customers, and as soon as they enter the door, they don't need to say anything, the shopkeeper will bring them the best dishes of the day.

"There aren't many people here today, why don't I see the boss lady?"

"Someone from my hometown is visiting today, so the boss lady is greeting her parents-in-law and relatives from her hometown, so she didn't come to the front hall."

"Madam, wait a moment. I'll go over to the boss lady."

After the shopkeeper left, Ye Jintang had a question mark in his mind. The result of the Yulin Guard's investigation was that after Xu Guixiang got married, she had always had a bad relationship with her in-laws. It was for this reason that she and her husband Niu Guangping moved to a city far away from the capital to open a restaurant.

The reason he came back this time was because business in Beijing was better, not to be closer to his parents-in-law.

In this situation, it is not a good thing for the parents-in-law to come suddenly.
