Just as the two were on the verge of a fight, the eunuch outside shouted:

"The Queen Mother has arrived."

Emperor Xuanwu and the eldest princess both stood up at the same time and saluted the empress dowager.

"Get up."

The Queen Mother sent all the servants away, and no one knew what the mother and her two children talked about in there.

All we know is that after the Empress Dowager returned, the Emperor issued an imperial decree, ordering the eldest princess to go to her own fiefdom and not to return to the capital without an imperial decree.

The news quickly spread to the ears of everyone, and Lan Xiang said:

"The Emperor still cares about the relationship between brother and sister."

"But this punishment is a little too light."

How did a princess train so many assassins? What was she doing with them?

If they weren't the assassins she hired, then who was the person behind her?

Su Qingwan was also surprised when she heard the news. She glanced at Hong Jin casually, and the other person's expression only changed slightly. She pretended not to see it, lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea and said:

"The princess is too anxious."

"I thought you could get rid of me when my Lord is not here."

As she spoke, she shook her head.

Hong Jin saw this and lowered her eyes.

After Hong Jin went down, she called Jing Zhe over:

"You might be carrying a letter to His Excellency?"

Jingzhe hesitated for a moment and nodded.

They naturally have their own way of delivering messages, this is the Eagle House's way, and it's extremely fast.

"In that case, please help me bring a letter to the adults."

After saying that, Su Qingwan took out the letter she had already written.

At this time, Yan Mingjue had already rushed back to Jingzhou, two days earlier than Yuan Ce expected.

Seeing him appear safely, Yuan Ce slowly breathed a sigh of relief:

"Fortunately nothing happened."

Yan Mingjue bowed to Yuan Ce:

"Thank you so much for this time, Your Majesty!"

Yuan Ce was very satisfied with Yan Mingjue's attitude. He waved his hand:

"You and I have known each other for a long time, so there is no need to say this."

"How's the matter? Is it settled?"

Yan Mingjue nodded with a serious face.

Yuan Ce did not ask any further questions upon seeing this, and only talked about the things happening in Jingzhou.

The prefect and a number of county magistrates took them up, but the matter was not resolved.

If the famine cannot be resolved, these refugees will still rebel.

"Commander-in-Chief Yan, do you have any good suggestions?"

Yuan Ce asked.

Yan Mingjue thought for a moment and said:

"Let's search the house first."

"See how much silver you can find."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ce couldn't help but glance at Yan Mingjue, thinking that this man was truly a ruthless person who dared to say such words.

However, I have to say that this is indeed the best way.

He thought about it for a moment, picked up his pen and asked someone to send a message to his father, the emperor, and then the execution began.

At this moment, Yan Mingjue also received news from the capital, and learned that the eldest princess was just driven to her fiefdom. Yan Mingjue snorted coldly, and judging from his appearance, he naturally felt that the eldest princess had gotten away with it.

"Have you found out who the princess contacted?"

"Not yet."

Lei Yu said softly:

"During this period, the princess has come into contact with many court officials, including several princes."

This was also the reason why Emperor Xuanwu could not tolerate her, because the eldest princess began to become restless.

Yan Mingjue nodded to show that he understood. He was about to let Lei Yu go down, but Lei Yu took out a letter from his arms.

"This was sent from the capital, and was written by my wife herself."

Yan Mingjue paused when he heard this, looked at the letter for a long time, and finally took it.

Lei Yu did not dare to delay and went downstairs quickly. He now only hoped that his master would not have a gloomy face again after reading the letter. He really could not bear it any longer.
