Surprise! I emptied the emperor's private treasury before exile

It seems that I have to write another letter to the capital!

But before Chu Ci's letter was sent out, Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui received five letters within one day.

A letter from the prince stated frankly that although the party of the previous dynasty had been eliminated, there were still many fish that escaped the net.

The letter was written in earnest terms, emphasizing the potential threats posed by these escaped fish.

This is a letter from Mr. Fan. As the Grand Tutor, he is well-informed and the content of the letter is almost the same as that of the Crown Prince.

However, they are family after all, so in addition to stating the severity of the situation, the letter also contained some words of concern.

The fifth prince also sent a letter. Well, this was the only letter of little value. After all, the fifth prince only informed the crown prince that he had written to him and his wife with the emperor's consent.

The remaining two letters were sent by Qianyan and Qianxue.

They didn't get much information about the court, but they got a lot of information about the inner courts of the capital.

Especially regarding the Royal College for Girls, the two of them wrote five large pages.

From the latest developments of the noble ladies in the academy, such as which noble lady has received a new reward, which noble lady is close to which young master, to some unknown little secrets, such as a noble lady secretly learning a certain talent to prepare for a big splash, every detail is described one by one.

Chu Ci picked up the letters and checked them one by one, examining each one carefully, not missing any details. He even paid attention to the material of the letter paper and the pattern of the seal.

Then, she gently put the letter down, looked at Fan Jingrui, and said solemnly: "It seems that what happened to Mr. Chen was also done by the rebels of the previous dynasty."

"I'm afraid this is not an isolated case. I really don't know how many such incidents there are in the Great Zhou?" Chu Ci frowned, his eyes full of worry and uneasiness, and his hands unconsciously twisted the corners of his clothes.

Fan Jingrui did not answer, but asked: "Madam, do you think there is a deeper conspiracy behind this? Or is there someone secretly manipulating all this in an attempt to stir up a bigger storm?"

Chu Ci shook his head and said slowly: "I just think that people who hide their heads and show their tails are always cautious and careful in their actions. They will subconsciously keep a backup plan."

Fan Jingrui also sighed when he heard this: "Yes, often when it seems calm, it is like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass, always launching a fatal attack inadvertently, which is really hard to guard against."

Hearing this, a horrifying thought suddenly flashed through Chu Ci's mind.

There was a trace of fear and doubt in her eyes: "My husband, do you think that fake second prince is really dead? If he is dead, why didn't the palace reveal any news?"

When Fan Jingrui heard this, he was startled at first, then his brows furrowed, and his eyes became deep and solemn.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "This matter is indeed strange. With the Emperor's shrewdness, if the fake Second Prince had died, it would not have happened so quietly."

"Perhaps there is another hidden story, or there is a hidden force that is deliberately concealing the truth and preventing the news from getting out. Perhaps there is also a power struggle and complex interests within the palace involved behind this."

As he spoke, he paced back and forth, his expression becoming more serious, and continued: "If this is true, apart from those people in the palace, my wife will be their primary target."

Fan Jingrui became more and more anxious as he spoke, beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead, and his voice became a little louder.

Instead, Chu Ci himself laughed: "If they are not afraid of being caught in one fell swoop, just come on!"

Fan Jingrui was originally full of worries, but when he heard Chu Ci's bold and fearless words, he was stunned at first, then he smiled, his tense nerves relaxed a little, and then he thought for a moment and said, "It seems that we need to pay more attention to Miss Feng's safety."

"After all, those people act in a secretive way and have no bottom line. It's hard to guarantee that they won't threaten us by starting with Miss Feng."

Chu Ci listened and nodded slightly: "I will send another group of guards over. The Charity Bureau..."

Chu Ci originally wanted to assign some guards to the Charity Bureau, but after thinking for a while he said, "Forget it, let's let the yamen runners take care of it. Guards are too conspicuous and may cause unnecessary trouble."

Chu Ci and his wife Fan Jingrui issued orders one after another while discussing.

From the deployment of personnel to the preparation of materials, every link is arranged in an orderly manner.

When everything was settled, Fan Jingrui looked at the time and realized it was getting late.

He gently held Chu Ci's hand and said softly, "My lady, I'm going to the county office to be on duty. There are many things to do today, and I will be busy until very late. If you go out, take care of yourself."

Chu Ci originally planned to visit the sheep oil soap workshop, thinking of checking the recent production situation and then planning the subsequent development.

But when she saw Fan Jingrui's worried face, his furrowed brows and anxious eyes.

Chu Ci's heart softened, and he said, "Forget it, I won't go out today. I've been running around for these things these days, and I'm really tired. It's just right for me to rest at home."

However, sometimes things don't go as people think. Life is full of surprises and variables, which are difficult to predict and control.

Before Chu Ci finished speaking, Yuzhu, who was beside Qiao Chi, hurried in. Her face was flushed, and her forehead was covered with beads of sweat. After coming in and paying her respects to Chu Ci, she said anxiously, "Princess, the people from Banshanpo Village have surrounded our sheep oil workshop!"

Chu Ci's expression froze when he heard this. He immediately stood up and asked, "What's going on? Why are they surrounding the workshop?"

Yuzhu panted and replied, "My Lady, it's like this. Mr. Qiao hired a few female workers from their village, but the head of their village didn't agree to let them work there and insisted on replacing them with men."

"Mr. Qiao believed that the female workers were as meticulous and conscientious as the men. After several negotiations, Mr. Qiao did not agree to the village chief's request."

"But I didn't expect that they would be so bold as to bring people to surround our workshop."

Chu Ci frowned, stood up immediately, and said decisively: "Let's go and take a look first."

Yuzhu said quickly: "Princess, you should bring more people."

"For some reason, they were extremely emotional, noisy, and their faces were red and their necks were thick, as if they had lost their minds."

"It looks like he will do something radical at any time. Princess, you must be careful!"

Chu Ci heard this with a serious look on his face, and immediately said to Jiang Li beside him: "Jiang Li, go to the Charity Bureau and inform Miss Feng to reduce her outings as much as possible. If there is anything unusual, she must hide in time and report it immediately."

Jiang Li listened to Chu Ci's instructions and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, my lady, I will do it right away and will definitely fulfill my mission!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly, his steps hurried but firm.

Without any worries, Chu Ci said to Yuzhu who came to report the news: "Okay, let's go quickly! This matter cannot be delayed."
