The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Hu Luanfei sighed and took the package into his arms.

As the New Year is coming to an end, Gu Lei and Nian Shu are busy going to the streets to buy New Year goods. Last year, the escort agency was not doing well and had a miserable year. Now, thanks to Hu Luanfei's intervention, the escort agency is not as good as the Beiqiu Royal Escort Agency, but at least it is operating normally and making a lot of money.

Just as I was about to go to the vegetable market, a fierce horse ran into the busy city. The wind swept across the sky silently, stirring up the tranquility in the stagnant air. The horse's hooves splashed the melted snow mud along the way, and the man lying on the horse's back was sweating on his temples. The sound of the whip came from far away.

Three people were chatting side by side on the long street. They saw from afar this person coming along Changning Street. They were startled for a moment and tacitly avoided him.

Nian Shu looked at the fierce horse that was getting farther and farther away, and said solemnly to the two people beside him: "Bei Qiu hasn't seen the urgent 800-mile convoy for many years. I think the war situation north of the city is not optimistic."

Gu Lei snorted, looking angry: "It has come to this, and that woman still has the mind to suppress our escort agency."

"The imperial power is overwhelming, and ordinary people like you and me cannot take away the glory." Nian Shu also sighed: "If I hadn't been reluctant to leave my wife, I would have joined the villains and overthrown this inhumane imperial power."

"Hush, keep your voice down on the street." Gu Lei looked around cautiously: "That woman will not let us go easily. It was like this before, and it is like this now. As long as our escort agency is still there, she will not feel at ease for a day."

"Brother, what do you think is the identity of the distinguished guest from the palace?"

"The current queen."

Hu Luanfei immediately had an idea.

Ten miles east of Beiqiu, there is a wealthy family whose children are all born with extraordinary bones and different looks. The women are even more beautiful. The head of the family also made his fortune by relying on the escort agency. Later, he spent a thousand taels of silver to ask someone to buy an official title. With the money he saved from the escort agency in the early days, he rose straight up in the officialdom.

Some time ago, Xuanyuan Yuchuan gave me a booklet to take to the Royal Escort Agency to send mail. I thought it would be useful in the future, so I copied a copy on the way.

She secretly sent people to investigate the names on the list in the booklet, and found that every one of them was involved in the open and covert struggles in the officialdom, and some even involved murders.

"I have a piece of evidence that can bring down the queen. Please pass it to Xiao Lanzi and ask him to quietly give it to Xuanyuan Li."

The envelope was marked with Hu Luanfei's name.

Gu Lei and Nian Shu were shocked, "How dare you address the King of Beiqiu by his name?"

Although the two were not careful to discuss the Queen's abuse of power in public, when they heard others calling the King of Beiqiu by his name, they were worried and turned pale with shock.

Hu Luanfei seemed to be indifferent and said, "This is the key to whether our escort agency can defeat the Royal Escort Agency. Hurry up."

"Is it that powerful?" Gu Lei opened his clothes in front of his chest, three layers inside and three layers outside, and stuffed the envelope into the layer closest to his underwear.

Nian Shu was vaguely uneasy, "I just wonder if Your Majesty will believe what Sister Luan said."

"I don't know either." Hu Luanfei knew that she was just the daughter of a minor imperial concubine, so she didn't dare to hold too high hopes. If Xuanyuan Li could thoroughly investigate the names of the people on the list in the letter, it would prove that he had taken his daughter seriously. If he continued to let corrupt officials do evil because of the influence of the queen's family, then it could only be said that his previous sincere expression of wanting to recognize her in Nanqi was all a show.

She was also gambling, betting on who Xuanyuan Li would favor between her and the Queen.

On that day, Hu Luanfei, Gu Lei and Nian Shu went to the escort agency and saw that Fu Ling had a ruddy complexion and was slightly gaining weight. They felt relieved that his life was peaceful and sound.

A few days later, on the morning of the twenty-ninth day of the lunar year, a great turmoil occurred in the Beiqiu Dynasty.

As soon as Hu Luanfei got up, the sound of crisp horse hooves was heard outside. The person who came was none other than Gu Lei, who was carrying daily necessities needed for the New Year and a few living pheasants.

He jumped off the horse, untied the rope, and took the things down. In order to avoid gossip from others, he just put the things in the snow pile at the door.

"Sister Luan, I have good news to share."

Gu Lei didn't want to sit in the house, so Hu Luanfei poured him a cup of hot tea and went out to entertain him. "Did the Queen's distant relatives get rid of them?"

Gu Lei couldn't hide his happiness on his face, and said with a smile: "Sister Luan is really amazing. A letter can make His Majesty take real action. After the fall of the overlord, I heard that the Queen was outside the palace begging His Majesty to forgive her mother's relatives."

"Then how did your majesty deal with it?"

"He was not summoned, and he did not go to the harem often. He stayed in the Yangxin Palace to discuss the war north and south of the city with the military ministers."

"The Queen is so annoying at this juncture, she's lucky not to be blamed."

"How can that be possible?" Gu Lei said unhappily, "In the past ten years, the taxes paid by the Royal Escort Agency could support half of Beiqiu. Your Majesty only eliminated one of the Queen's distant relatives, and it didn't hurt her heart."

"Xuanyuan Li is killing a chicken to warn the monkeys. If the queen doesn't change her ways after repeated admonitions, there will definitely be consequences."

Gu Lei sighed, "What a pity, no one in the harem helps to stir up trouble. I'm afraid this road will be difficult to walk."

Hu Luanfei smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, big brother. I have my own way."

Gu Lei wanted to ask more questions, but two women came out of the farmhouse nearby. He felt embarrassed to stay any longer. The message had been conveyed and the gifts had been delivered, so he could go back to report.

Before leaving, he took out the dividends earned in the past six months and handed them to Hu Luanfei, "We will be better next year."

"Of course."

After seeing Gu Lei off, Hu Luanfei stopped talking, collected the bonus, went to the stable, rode his horse to Beiqiu.

At that time, every family in the neighborhood was celebrating and singing.

There is a warm sun overhead, and the sky is filled with colorful clouds.

The coming year will surely be a good year with good weather and good harvest.

As the horse was galloping, it happened to meet Xuanyuan Yuqing who was riding a horse.

The two men almost collided head-on, but fortunately they were not stupid and knew how to tighten the reins and stop the horses.

Xuanyuan Yuqing's face was still filled with panic. When he saw the person coming, he shouted, "Follow me into the palace quickly. Something has happened to my father."

Hu Luanfei was still in a state of panic, but when he heard Xuanyuan Yuqing's words, he raised his eyes and asked, "What does his problem have to do with me?"

However, she really wanted to find Xuanyuan Yuqing to bring her into the palace, and he happened to come at the right time, so she didn't have to go to Baishan Hall or the Prince's Mansion.

Xuanyuan Yuqing was about to say a few more words excitedly, but Hu Luanfei suppressed his impatience and said quickly, "Why don't you lead the way?"

Xuanyuan Yuqing heard the news and knew that Hu Luanfei had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so he immediately turned his horse around with a smile and galloped towards Beiqiu.

The journey was a bit long, and Hu Luanfei, with the intention of going into the palace to disrupt the situation, forced himself to listen to Xuanyuan Yuqing's chattering while pretending to be unhappy.

Xuanyuan Li had not slept for three days and nights because of the wars in the north and south of the city. He was also worried about the Queen taking off her hairpin to beg for mercy. His health was already not as good as before. Suddenly, he heard the eunuch report that Princess Chaoyun fell and drowned while playing in the imperial garden. He finally couldn't help vomiting a mouthful of old blood, which spilled on the dragon table and memorials, and then fainted.
