Li Muwen did not write a letter to tell Yunfang what the emperor said to him. Instead, after asking the emperor for instructions, he went directly back to Yiqing County to find Yunfang.

In addition to Li Muwen returning to Yiqing County, the emperor also sent someone to accompany him, bringing a large amount of gold and silver. No matter what materials Yunfang needed, the emperor would do his utmost to support her.

He told Yunfang everything the emperor had said to him. Yunfang had never thought that he had gotten into such a big trouble just because he wanted to go to sea to find that continent and find corn and sweet potatoes. He could not come back for ten years. In this case, Yunfang must take her son with her.

However, the elderly in the family could not be brought on board the ship, and Yun Fang's mother could not board the ship with him either.

Both of the sisters-in-law are pregnant recently and cannot board the ship, but the emperor promised to treat their families well, so Yunfang and Li Muwen can rest assured.

The two thought about it and realized that except for their son, the rest of the family would have to stay where they were and wait for them to return.

The emperor gave three months to build the ship. For Yunfang, as long as there were enough materials, the ship could be built quickly.

There is still one thing Yunfang needs to do in her mind, which is to expose Lu Yunze.

Returning to this continent again after ten years, no one knows what earth-shaking changes will have taken place. Now that the emperor needs her family's help, he will seriously consider her words.

If it was a different emperor, she would be powerless and would never have the chance to expose Lu Yunze again.

Yunfang told Li Muwen about her idea. Li Muwen knew that this matter had always been a knot in Yunfang's heart. He agreed with Yunfang's idea without any hesitation.

The two men worked non-stop and built three more ships in a month and a half.

In this way, their entire team will have eleven ships. The people in the original caravan and those who will sail with them will also have to be changed. They will be away from this land for ten years, so they cannot choose those who are reluctant to leave their homeland.

Yunfang spent another half a month arranging the members of the caravan that would travel with her, and then handed over all her business to Yunying to manage.

The cargo on the ship also had to change. Yunfang originally wanted to exchange some wine, sugar, tea, cloth and porcelain for some overseas goods. But if they were going to live abroad for ten years, they had to arm themselves with a combat-ready team.

And they had to bring as much gold and silver as possible. Yunfang knew that gold and silver could be used as currency no matter where they were.

With the emperor's full support, these things were prepared very quickly.

It took Yunfang two months to prepare all the goods. With the system in place, Yunfang was able to arrange all these things in a comprehensive manner.

After finishing all this, Li Muwen took Yunfang to Beijing.

The next day after arriving in the capital, Li Muwen put on his official uniform as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

He took Yunfang to the imperial city. Yunfang waited outside the imperial city while Li Muwen went to attend the morning court.

The emperor had long known about Yunfang and Li Muwen's visit to the capital, and his spies reported to him every day about their shipbuilding, purchasing of goods, and other every move.

Even this morning, when Yun Fang and Li Muwen came to the outside of the imperial city together, the emperor had already received the news.

The emperor originally planned to have Zheng Lin call Li Muwen and Yun Fang to the imperial study for questioning after the court session.

Unexpectedly, when the morning court was about to end, Li Muwen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The emperor looked at Li Muwen with some doubt and said, "My dear, please speak."

Li Muwen said loudly: "In the fifteenth year of Qianyuan, Lu Yunze, the top scholar, plagiarized the poems and essays of my wife's master, thinking that he could make a name for himself. The poems and essays he created in recent years were all written by my wife's master. Your Majesty, please investigate strictly."

Lu Yunze was also at the morning court. With the support of his father, Minister Lu, over the years, he had already been promoted to a fifth-rank official position.

Becoming a fifth-rank official means one is qualified to participate in court affairs.

Lu Yunze immediately stood up to refute and said, "Master Li is talking nonsense. I don't even know who your wife is, so how could I impersonate his master's poems and articles! Could it be that Master Li is jealous that I ranked higher than you in the imperial examination that year?"

Li Muwen looked directly at Lu Yunze without giving in and said, "My wife's name is Yunfang. She lives in Yiqing County. When she met you, she was an embroiderer at Linglong Embroidery Workshop."

Lu Yunze smiled contemptuously and said, "Yunfang, I am somewhat familiar with this name. I lived in Yiqing County a few years ago. This Yunfang came to my house to make a few sets of clothes. After that, I don't know why she always disturbed my life. Later, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I left Yiqing County and returned to the capital to prepare for the imperial examination."

Lu Yunze looked at the emperor again and said, "The emperor, Lord Li, also said that Yunfang was just an embroiderer. How could her master be able to write the poems and articles I once wrote? I know that the emperor has sent Lord Li to go to sea with Prince Shou. But we can't let Lord Li slander me like this!"

After saying that, he actually knelt down.

The emperor did not believe Lu Yunze's words. He knew Yunfang was a talented person.

He also felt that the poems and articles written by Lu Yunze did not have the same style. Even the essay Lu Yunze wrote in the imperial examination was very different from his poems and articles.

Even the styles of the essays he wrote during the provincial examination and the palace examination were different.

He once thought that Lu Yunze was a man with a changeable mind, a man of great talent, and a master in all kinds of articles.

But after several years of official career, he did not have such outstanding talents. I thought he had run out of ideas.

But after hearing what Li Muwen said today, he finally understood a little. If these things were not done by him, then it would make sense.

However, he could not tell his ministers that he had been observing Yunfang's every move. He also could not tell them about Yunfang's true talent, as this might put his youngest son in danger.

However, Li Muwen and Yunfang brought up this matter before they set off, obviously wanting to seek justice. If he didn't handle it well, wouldn't it disappoint the couple?

This morning, Li Muwen brought Yunfang to the outside of the imperial city, probably waiting for him to summon Yunfang in and let Yunfang provide strong evidence to expose Lu Yunze's hypocritical face.

The emperor looked at Li Muwen and said, "Everything requires evidence. Do you and your wife have any evidence?"

Li Muwen nodded firmly and said, "Your Majesty, my wife said that there were many mistakes in the poems and articles she wrote to Lu Yunze, but Lu Yunze just copied them. These mistakes have been written by him. My wife can point them out directly. You are all knowledgeable people. My wife said that once she points them out, everyone will know who is right!"
