On this day, Shen Yuyao and Xiao Xianbao both slept until noon!

"Zi Su, do you think our young lady can sleep so soundly? Last night, there was a lot of noise at Jinxiu Garden, with people smashing pots and bowls all night long."

Baizhi is one year younger than Shisu and has a more lively personality.

I've been pestering Zi Su with questions all morning.

"As servants, we don't need to speculate too much about the princess's heart. We just need to do what the princess tells us to do."

"But when the prince made Xu his concubine, he promised that he would never take another concubine in his lifetime. What about the one in the side palace last night?"

[Ah! My scumbag father is actually going to take a concubine? ]

[ Trash, scum, too much of a scum! When I learn how to speak, I will make my mother run away.]

[My mother wanted to get married first and then fall in love, but it ended up being a funeral procession! ]

As soon as Shen Yuyao heard the little fairy's voice, she woke up completely instinctively.

Just as I was about to kiss the little fairy baby, I heard a noisy sound coming from outside the door.

"The princess and Princess Xiaoxian have just woken up, what are you making so much noise for?" Bai Zhi lifted the curtain and went out to scold.

"Princess, Princess, something terrible has happened!" The young eunuch in the front hall stumbled and tried to rush into the inner room.

"What happened? You're in such a hurry, don't scare the little princess." Bai Zhi was about to scold again when she looked up and saw that this little eunuch was Xiao Xizi, who was sent to Prince Ning's Mansion some time ago by the Duke's Mansion. They knew each other when they were in the Duke's Mansion.

Xiao Xizi was trembling all over, lowering his head and saying, "The Duke's Mansion has been ransacked!"

Bai Zhi was horrified and quickly let Xiao Xizi into the inner room.

"Princess, the Duke's Mansion was searched early in the morning!" Xiao Xizi fell to his knees, his voice still trembling.

"Xiao Xizi, don't panic. Tell me what happened slowly."

Xiao Xizi was surprised that the princess' voice was so calm, as if she had known about this matter before. So she felt inexplicably safe. She gathered her thoughts, swallowed the bitter taste in her mouth, and raised her head with tears in her eyes and said:

"Little Huanzi from the Duke's Mansion just sent me a message saying that less than an hour after the Duke went to court, the Supreme Court Justice led troops to defend the Duke's Mansion. They are turning the Duke's Mansion upside down. The Supreme Court Justice said..."

"say what?"

"Speaking of the Duke, the criminal is plotting treason!"

My father had just entered the court, and here the Duke's Mansion was raided. Could it be that he, the Minister of the Dali Temple, has the ability to predict the future?

Shen Yuyao's eyes turned cold. Even though she knew the plot in advance, she still felt terrified and helpless when she was really caught up in it.

[Mother, if there is any danger, I will protect you even if my roots are destroyed...]

[I have to find a way to inform my uncles not to risk returning to Beijing. Let’s wait and see what evidence the confiscation of property actually provides... Alas, it’s a pity that I can’t speak yet, otherwise I could have gotten through this ordeal safely...]

Shen Yuyao was deeply moved when she heard what the little fairy said. How lucky she was to have such a daughter!

Tears welled up in her beautiful eyes. She opened her mouth but no words came out.

Everyone thought the princess was frightened and started to offer suggestions.

"Princess, how about you tell the servant to report to the prince and ask him to help you say something good in front of His Majesty and save the Duke?"

"Princess, how about I risk my life to rush into the Duke's Mansion and take the blame for the Duke's crime..."

If the prince wanted to save him, or was able to save him, then how could this house search and investigation happen?

The criminal was conspiring for treason, which was a serious crime punishable by the execution of the entire clan! How could a mere eunuch bear the consequences?

Shen Yuyao knew in her heart that although the suggestions made by these servants were absurd and naive, what was valuable was that they were still loyal at this time!

Shen Yuyao suppressed the turmoil in her heart, stood up and said slowly:

"Zi Su, go prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"

"Xiao Xizi, go back to the front hall and continue waiting. If you have any new news, report it immediately!"

"Baizhi, go and count my dowry and the little princess's reward, and keep them ready for use at any time."

"Other servants, eunuchs, and maids, please do your job well and don't talk nonsense."

Everyone was surprised to see that the princess was calm as usual, but they instantly felt confident and did as she told.

After everyone in the room had left, Shen Yuyao felt her scalp tingling and she fell into a chair.

[Mother is so brave...Xiaoxian, I love you so much...]

Shen Yuyao felt that every time she heard the little fairy's voice, she was like being injected with chicken blood... and instantly revived with full blood.

She picked up her pen and wrote three secret letters. The first one was to her other close friend, the emperor's third daughter, the current Princess Yongning.

The letter only said that he had learned that his family had been framed, and hoped that the princess could help to take care of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple so that his family would not be tortured too much if they were imprisoned.

Shen Yuyao knew that the princess could not overturn the conviction for treason for the Duke's Mansion, but at least she could do her best to take care of the elderly, the weak, the women and the children in the mansion.

The second letter was written to the third brother, asking him to liquidate the properties under his name across the country and convert most of them into cash in case of emergency.

In addition, she asked her third brother to send a pigeon letter to her two brothers at the border. She wrote down in detail what precautions the two brothers needed to take.

He also circled the most important sentence in cinnabar: You are not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict!

Shen Yuyao knew clearly that no matter when, where or what the situation, sufficient wealth could solve most problems.

As long as the two brothers guard the border well and control the military power, the emperor will be more or less afraid of them!

Although Daxia is now a powerful country, there are still frequent foreign invasions on the border, and the emperor will not easily kill military generals and meritorious officials.

After writing the three secret letters, Shen Yuyao took out three ingots of gold and handed them to Zi Su, saying:

"Find three reliable and loyal servants. No matter how much money it costs, you must deliver it as quickly as possible!"

After Zi Su responded, he hurried out of the room.

In the imperial court of Daxia.

"Bang" the emperor was throwing several memorials onto an old general in military uniform who was kneeling on one knee in front of the palace.

"Shen Ao, take a look at these memorials impeaching you. Do you have anything to say?"

"I, your Majesty, have no intention of rebelling. I beg Your Majesty to look into this matter carefully!"

After returning home from the full moon banquet in the palace, his wife had told him about her daughter's worries. At that time, he thought it was ridiculous, but when he checked his study and saw the evidence of frame-up, he knew that his daughter was right!

But there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart.

After all, the current emperor had risen from the bottom with me.

Even if those treacherous villains framed him, the emperor would never suspect that Shen Ao would rebel.

Now the emperor suddenly attacked, and Shen Ao was stunned for a moment!

This glimmer of luck almost brought disaster to the entire mansion.

Shen Ao felt cold sweat all over his body.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of rebellion... Lord He's accusation that my fourth son secretly married the princess of an enemy country is a misunderstanding. When my fourth son was young, he was betrothed to the second daughter of Lord Chen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Your Majesty is wise."

Fortunately, I made arrangements in advance, otherwise I would be speechless today.

"Your Majesty, the Dali Temple Minister Liu who searched the Duke's Mansion has returned..."

"Quick pass!"

"Send the Minister of the Dali Temple, Mr. Liu, to the palace..."
