Concubine De no longer has the mind to compete for favor. Apart from necessary social engagements in the palace, she just eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures.

She hoped to change her son's fate of bringing bad luck to his wife. Waiting for the New Year's bell to ring was also the ringing of hope in her heart.

However, at this critical juncture, his son was sent far away on official business by the Emperor, and no news has been received from him, which made him somewhat uneasy.

Just as the master had predicted, Mu Xueli was able to resolve her son’s fate of bringing bad luck to his wife, and the couple lived in harmony from then on.

The emperor now dislikes Zhao Yuan and Concubine De very much. As the supreme ruler, he actually has such a son, making a fool of himself for the whole world.

This time, the matter of the inexplicable disappearance of one million taels of official silver in Heyuan County in the warehouse was deliberately thrown to him and Lao Qi, and it was their duty to handle it.

If they couldn't do it, they were going to let them all go home to retire. One or two of them even made a bet on their wives' fate, so that everyone in the world knew that they had given birth to a son who would bring bad luck to his wife.

It's too late to cover up this kind of thing, and a bunch of brats actually started a gambling agreement with great fanfare. They are just the kind of people who have nothing to do and are embarrassing me outside all day long.

This time, I will use the seventh brother as a stepping stone, to scare the mountain and scare the tiger, and give him a good knock.

If they continue to behave like this, the dignity of the royal family will be destroyed. How can I manage the people of the world?

However, the concubine in San'er's house who was doomed to be alone was really tough! She was able to escape intact despite the night attack by so many people.

I'd like to meet him if I have the chance.

The eunuch came in and reported: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see the emperor. The emperor frowned. He was not a person who could be worried about. The hole in the Ministry of Revenue was getting bigger and bigger. It was enough to think about handing the whole country over to him.

The emperor became more and more angry. What a bunch of bastards who never do their jobs and always make trouble. How could he have given birth to such a bunch of bastard sons?

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, supporting his head with one hand and frowning, he really didn't want to see him.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, officials at all levels can take a break.

Zhao Yuan and Zhao Lei were not so lucky. The case of the missing official silver in Heyuan County became more and more confusing. The emperor had just given them a death order: if they could not find the silver within a certain time, they would never be allowed to return to Beijing.

Zhao Yuan stood alone in the cold night sky, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky. I wonder what he was thinking at this moment.

Zhao Lei walked over with a miserable look on his face. It was impossible for him to give up now.

"Third brother, what do you think we should do now?"

"What should I do? I just wanted to ask you. You are famous for having a lot of ideas!" Zhao Yuan turned his head and looked at Zhao Lei. It has been almost a month since he came here, and this guy has been indulging in romance all day long, hugging women left and right, and has not done any serious work. Now, with an imperial edict coming down, no one can go back.

He had originally promised Lin Yan that he would go back to spend the New Year with her, but there was no clue about the case and the guard Cao, whom he had secretly sent out early in the morning, had not sent back any news.

It is impossible for millions of taels of silver kept in the warehouse to disappear overnight without anyone noticing.

It would be strange if there was no traitor! However, during this period of time, I have been asking questions from all sides, and no one's whereabouts are suspicious at all. The six people guarding the house and the county magistrate were all put in jail by me. The county magistrate looked like the sky was about to fall all day long, and they all cried out for injustice.

Zhao Lei was dumbfounded. He had originally thought that he was just coming out to deal with the situation, but now, if he couldn't solve the case, he would never be able to return to the capital. Did he have to build a mansion here?

Who of those bastards thought of such a dirty trick to kick me out? Why did I only figure it out now?

One million taels of silver is not a lot, but it is not a small amount either. It is impossible to pay for it out of one's own pocket.

No, absolutely not! There must be someone behind this, but it is too hidden, so I have no way to start. I must find a breakthrough. But where is this breakthrough?

"Third brother, do you have any clues?" Zhao Lei asked unwillingly.

"Why should I worry here if I have a clue?" Zhao Yuan stepped into the snow with his hands behind his back. Slowly, a neat row of his footprints were left on the white snow.

"Everything you do will leave a trace, but where is this trace?" Zhao Yuan asked, looking up at the sky.

Zhao Lei also began to scratch his head.

Zhao Yuan smiled and teased: "In fact, it's not bad for you to build your residence nearby. There are outstanding people, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and beautiful women like paintings!"

"Since you think it's a good idea, then you can stay. Anyway, you've been kicked out, and I won't stay!" Zhao Lei kicked the snow on the ground angrily, and accidentally kicked a stone hidden under the snow, and screamed in pain.

"The damn stones are against me. The chefs here don't cook as exquisitely as any random stall in Defu Lane in Beijing. And they don't suit my taste. There's no black pearl milk tea to drink."

Zhao Yuan glanced at Zhao Lei quietly.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?" Zhao Lei was puzzled. The way his third brother looked at him was very strange.

Zhao Yuan shook his head and looked into the distance again.

Could this also be a trap set by one of them?

Just to kick out the seventh brother?

But where did the one million taels of silver disappear into thin air?

Only a martial arts master could walk on the snow without leaving any trace. But there were heavy boxes of silver, with official seals on them.

Even a martial arts master would leave traces. Unless there were a group of people, but how could a group of people guarding the warehouse not know about it?

Employment? When the crime is exposed, they will be the first to be detained. If the money cannot be recovered, none of them can escape. They have money but no life to spend it.

Zhao Yuan not only controlled the people guarding the warehouse, but also detained their families. The six guards still cried out for injustice.

At night, Zhao Yuan wrote Lin Yan his first letter. It was very short: "How can I bear not to look for you? I resent you for being alone. If I could change my heart for yours, I would know how deeply I miss you.

The year is about to end, and the person has not returned from thousands of miles away. Are you well? "

Lin Yan read the message again and again. It seemed that things outside were not going well, and Zhao Yuan could not come back for the New Year.

From that day on, Lin Yan received a letter from Zhao Yuan every day. Some of the letters sounded like travel notes, and it seemed that he was not out on business, but more like traveling to enjoy the scenery.

There was only a poem about missing her lover, which made Lin Yan blush and her heart beat fast.

Hey! This is also the thing that moved her the most in the past few months since her rebirth!

I was even more moved, but the concubine's fate could not be changed. I don't mind having a romantic relationship, but I will never really risk my life for it.

Running away is still necessary. Lin Yan is now a little wealthy, looking at the deed of a place in the capital in her hand, she pursed her lips and smiled.

There is some expectation, some fear, and some hesitation about the future.

It was better that Zhao Yuan couldn't come back, so that I wouldn't be confused about how to get along with him at that time. Each letter he wrote to me was more emotional than the last.

Although Lin Yan wanted to reply, she gritted her teeth and finally didn't reply a single word. If you don't have any intention, don't leave hope for others. It may seem cruel, but it is also the greatest kindness.

All love and romance are always in vain. In this ancient strict hierarchical system, a concubine only relies on her youth. The more he loves you now, the more he will hate you when a new person appears.
