[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

First, the timing was wrong. It was already dark, and they were still rushing to invite people? Could it be that Rong Enqing was about to die, and he was in a hurry to ask them to go back to see him for the last time?

Although Xiu Zhang looked anxious, he was not panicked. It was obvious that he had not reached that stage yet.

Second, the timing is wrong. You were climbing a mountain yesterday, and the accident happened yesterday, so why are you sick today? Shouldn't you have been sick yesterday if you were frightened? Shouldn't you have invited someone early this morning?

Third, Xiu Zhang's identity was too sensitive. Although Xiu Zhang was still a servant of Rong Enqing, he was also a person from the palace. When something happened to Yuan, anyone who suspected Rong Enqing would suspect that it was Xiu Zhang who did it.

Therefore, when he saw Xiu Zhang, Xu Changping naturally became a little cautious.

All in all, Xu Changping was not fooled at all.

The grandparents and grandchildren failed to achieve their goal and had no choice but to give up.

When they saw Yun Shu, no one showed any emotion.

After chatting with Yunshu for a while, he sent Yunshu back to her original residence to rest.

After Yun Shu left, Yun Ye asked Rong Enqing, "Grandmother, you have to go to the palace early tomorrow morning. Is it appropriate for you to let my aunt stay at home now?"

Rong Enqing was also hesitant. No one could tell what it would be like to enter the palace tomorrow.

Yun Shu is now staying in Shun'an Marquis Mansion, and no one knows whether it is good or bad for her.

I am afraid that Emperor Taihe will be furious and punish Shun'an Marquis, which will cause Yunshu to suffer as well.

"How about I ask someone to send my aunt back to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion early tomorrow morning?" Yun Ye suggested.

Rong Enqing thought about it and nodded.

At least, for now, the situation of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion is indeed much better than that of the Marquis of Shun'an's Mansion.

However, what Rong Enqing didn't know was that Nanny Gong had already reported all her plans and actions to the palace.

At this time, Emperor Taihe was smashing things in the imperial study.

He really didn't expect that Rong would be so decisive!

I had tested him before and wanted to leave the palace early.

Now it’s even more outrageous, they just tied up Yun Hong and Li Mao.

The most abominable thing is that she exposed Yun Hong's identity in public and persuaded him about the gold matter all at once.

These things can no longer be concealed.

Even if he immediately sent people to Shun'an Marquis' Mansion to kill everyone, there was no guarantee that these things would have leaked out.

Therefore, the Rong family is forcing him to clean up in advance the rebellious forces hidden in the capital by Yun Yi!

Although he thought it was time to clean up the situation, the big fish had not yet taken the bait, and it would be better if he could wait a little longer.

Forget it. I was originally thinking about how to bring the gold from Shun'an Marquis' Mansion back to the national treasury in a fair and open manner. Now, I don't have to think about it anymore.

Well, there’s a snowstorm in the north and we’re short of money right now.

With this gold, disaster relief matters can be put on the agenda.

Emperor Taihe vented his anger and comforted himself, and his emotions finally calmed down a little.

Liu Xin, who had been waiting trembling on the side, came up carefully and asked, "Your Majesty, how should we deal with Shun'an Marquis's Mansion?"

"How else can we deal with it?"

Emperor Taihe ordered unhappily, "Send the commander of the Imperial Guard to see me."

Soon the commander of the Royal Guard arrived.

"I order you to lead 3,000 guards immediately to surround the residences of the Duke of Zhenguo, the Duke of Anguo, the Minister of Rites, the General Weiyuan, the Left Vice Minister of Personnel, the Liang family, the Wu family, the Rong family, and all members of the Yun family except the Shun'an Marquis' residence. No one is allowed to enter or leave without my order."

"Yes." The commander of the Royal Guards took the order and left.

Liu Xin on the side secretly took a breath of cold air. This is going to overturn the entire capital!

Although he knew that many forces in the capital were related to Yun Yi, he had never made a careful count. At this moment, listening to Emperor Taihe counting each family one by one, he suddenly felt frightened.

Wow, I’ve found out so many families without realizing it.

At this moment, Liu Xin felt that Madam Rong was right to put pressure on Emperor Taihe.

There are so many people here, why don’t you clean it up? Are you going to keep it for the New Year?

Are they really waiting to catch Yun Yi before cleaning up?

By then, will Emperor Taihe still be able to control the situation?

It would be funny if it backfired.

It is still more straightforward to find and clean up each one as they arise.

Even if this would allow the conspirators to hide deeper, it would at least deter most people, right?

After the commander of the Imperial Guards left, Emperor Taihe ordered Liu Xin in a cold voice, "Take the list and tell each family to arrest everyone on the list and send them to the Dali Temple."

Liu Xin naturally knew that the list that Emperor Taihe mentioned was the one that they found out when Shun'an Marquis' Mansion held a flower banquet last year, and that was the list of people that Yun Yi had planted in various mansions.

Of course, what was found was only a part of it.

Liu Xin quickly agreed.

Emperor Taihe asked again, "Has the Imperial Medical Bureau prepared the bottle of special medicine that Rong sent to the palace before?"

"Your Majesty, it was prepared a few days ago. However, it is limited to very special medicinal materials, so the quantity prepared is not large."

"It doesn't matter. It's enough. Send the potion and the list to each household. In addition to the people on the list, ask each household to check if there are any people wearing human skin masks."

Most of the people who would be exposed and found out were the spies in the open. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were abandoned pawns to deceive people. I am afraid that the ones hiding under the human skin mask are the real important chess pieces.

Liu Xin did not dare to delay and went to do his work immediately.

However, before he could walk out of the palace gate, he was stopped by Emperor Taihe.

"There is one more thing. Take the potion and check the palace thoroughly. See if there is anyone wearing a human skin mask. You have to do this yourself."

"Yes." Liu Xin accepted the order respectfully and walked out quickly.

After he went out, he let out a long sigh. Things were going to change!

Soon, the palace began to clean up.

During the investigation, we actually found a few people wearing human skin masks.

One is a female official in the Empress Dowager's palace. She holds a very important position and is responsible for the Empress Dowager's daily diet.

Several concubines who had princes' wives also had one person replaced by someone else in the palace.

Concubine Liang even hid two of them.

When the human skin mask was taken off, Concubine Liang collapsed on the chair.

Because one of them was the female official promoted by Concubine Liang herself after Aunt Cuiwei was killed.

This female official was also the one who had followed her the longest, and had gained her trust more than Aunt Cuiwei over the years.

She never hid anything about the Yun family, the Yang family, the emperor, and the prince from her.

After learning the results of the harem investigation, Emperor Taihe was truly frightened.

These people are all needed by the concubines of each palace. These people sneaked in, and their purpose is probably not the concubines of each palace, but the princes of the concubines of each palace.

Thinking of this, Emperor Taihe was very grateful to Rong Enqing in his heart.

If it weren't for the special potion she got from Yun Hong, it would have been difficult to catch these rats.

Even his harem is like this. I am afraid there are many such people in the backyards of every family.
