The powerful princess arrives with a space warehouse

As the night deepened, the Chenfeng Courtyard of Prince Jing's Mansion also became quiet.

Chu Chenjing tucked the corners of the quilt for Ouyang Yunyao, hugged her and fell asleep.

next day

In the morning mist of Kyoto City, the people were still asleep and the officials were still walking on the palace road to Qianhe Hall.

The three teams of garrison camp, city defense army and imperial guards in Kyoto City were dispatched at the same time. The commander-in-chief of this operation was General Ning Zhenwu.

The sounds of horse hooves and running could be heard on the deserted streets. Teams of soldiers quickly rushed towards several mansions, and several mansions in Kyoto were surrounded by soldiers.

After a while, shouts of "Open the door! Open the door!" were heard in the city, followed by the sound of "bang bang bang" banging on the door.

This was followed by various screams and cries.

These sounds woke up the people who were sleeping soundly, and many of them hid in their homes and dared not go out.

The sky brightened and the sun rose. The sunshine in Kyoto was very bright on this winter day.

However, since the streets were full of soldiers and officers, and some were escorting groups of family members to prison, most people did not run out of their homes just because the sun was shining.

The shops didn't dare to open their doors, but some brave people quietly went to the streets to see what was happening that night, to find out which mansions had been sealed off, which were confiscated, and who had been arrested.

A few people on the street corner were whispering, "Why was the Xinyang Marquis's Mansion, the Du Family, raided by soldiers?"

"It seems to be related to the kidnapping of the princess."

"No, no, it's related to the assassination of Princess Jing."

"The home of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War was also sealed off."

……

The three teams each performed their duties very quickly, arresting people and confiscating confiscations. All the servants in the mansion were also dismissed.

It is possible that the capital city had already been purged when the Second Prince forced the emperor to abdicate and Prime Minister Xue rebelled. The number of officials involved this time was not large, only five.

When Ouyang Yunyao got up in the morning, Chu Chenjing had already left for court.

She learned that the officers and soldiers had gone to arrest some people, so they played peacefully in the mansion.

At this time, Ouyang Yunyao was playing Landlord with several little maids in the room, making a lot of noise and having a lot of fun.

Laughter and chatter could be heard from time to time in the room. At this moment, Xia Fei's unwilling voice was heard: "Princess, why are your cards so good? Mine are so bad. Why do I always lose?"

Xiao Cui, who had injured her arm, could only stand behind Ouyang Yunyao, watching them play with envy. Then, after hearing what Xia Fei said, she looked at Xia Fei and became happy: "Fei Er, you are not good at playing cards. Why are you not good at playing cards?"

Ouyang Yunyao looked at Xia Fei, whose face was covered with notes, and couldn't help laughing. "Haha... Fei'er, when are you going to pull off this beard on your face? How about..."

Before Ouyang Yunyao could finish her words, Wei Lei, who had just returned from gathering information, walked in. "Princess."

Ouyang Yunyao looked up at Wei Lei who had come in and asked, "Is it quiet outside?"

Wei Lei was about to speak when he saw Xia Fei looking up. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Xia Fei, you've grown a beard."

Xia Fei blushed at his smile. "Go, go, go," he said, pointing at Wei Lei and Xiao Cui. "Did you...did you two collude with each other? You're all making fun of me."

"Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha" Everyone was amused by Xia Fei's appearance.

After a while, Wei Lei reported to Ouyang Yunyao: "Princess, a total of five mansions have been searched and confiscated."

"Oh, there are actually five?" Ouyang Yunyao did not ask Chu Chenjing last night who he was going to round up today. She did not expect that there were actually five families. It seemed that Xue Xiang's original power was quite considerable.

"Yes, Princess. One is from the Du family of the Xinyang Marquisate, another is Qin Guan, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, and the other is Liu Datong, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. Their families have all been sealed off, and all of their people have been taken to the Dali Temple."

"Who are the other two? They shouldn't hold high positions."

"Princess, the other two are of lower rank. One is an editor in the Hanlin Academy, and the other is a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel."

"Alas, these people are hiding so deeply. What is the situation outside now?" Ouyang Yunyao sighed.

"Princess, how can these two small figures be their people?" Xia Yan asked in confusion.

"Old Xue must have already planted his men there." Ouyang Yunyao then asked Wei Lei, "What's the situation on the streets now?"

"Now all the streets and alleys where these people live have been sealed off. The Liu and Cao families, the editor of the Hanlin Academy and the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, only entered the courtyard three times, but it has been searched and the people have been arrested."

Ouyang Yunyao nodded. "It's quite fast."

"I heard that the emperor has ordered that everything must be done today."

Ouyang Yunyao raised her eyebrows. "Oh, it seems the Emperor is worried about affecting the people's New Year celebrations. But the Xinyang Marquis's Mansion is quite large. Can it be handled in one day?"

"Princess, the Xinyang Marquis's Mansion has sent many officers and soldiers inside. General Ning personally led the team to search inside. Listen to the book, this mansion has found many hidden rooms."

……

As she was speaking, Granny Li walked in, lifting the curtain. "Princess, lunch is ready."

Before Ouyang Yunyao could say anything, Xia Fei jumped up and tore the paper off his face in a few seconds, revealing his flushed face. He looked at Ouyang Yunyao and said, "Princess, it's time to eat."

"You can't eat today." Ouyang Yunyao joked with a smile.

Everyone laughed happily again.

……

Because it was the New Year period, in order not to affect the people's happy New Year, the emperor sent a large number of officers and soldiers to speed up the search and seizure of these mansions.

Therefore, the next day, the streets and alleys of Kyoto became quiet again. There was no sound of horse hooves, no figures of soldiers running, no sounds of people being arrested, shouting, or crying, as if nothing had happened the day before.

If these houses had not been sealed and no human voices could be heard, I really wouldn't have felt what was happening.

The people of Kyoto seemed to have become accustomed to the seizure of their residences. It simply increased their after-dinner gossip.

The streets were quiet, people went out as usual, vendors started their business as usual, Kyoto was bustling again, with a New Year atmosphere.

In the days that followed, no other unexpected incidents occurred in Kyoto.

During this period, the disaster relief supplies sent to Linghe Prefecture were also safely delivered to the provincial capital of Linghe Prefecture.

During this time, Ouyang Yunyao also ate and played as she pleased. She also returned to her parents' home several times and was dragged by Princess Rong Hui to stroll the streets a few times.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month. After the Lantern Festival, they would go to the border town to negotiate with Beiyue about signing a border trade agreement between the two countries.

On the morning of the Lantern Festival, Ouyang Yunyao's cell phone rang. As soon as she picked up the phone, an anxious voice came from the phone: "Yao'er, something happened in Yaowang Valley!"
