After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 386: Don't try to quibble, brother, there is no such coincidence
Zhu San left with full of suspicion, and Yong'an Hou walked in hurriedly.
"Your Highness."
"What happened?!"
The prince had just learned that Yichunyuan had been discovered, and now seeing that Marquis Yong'an was not doing well, his tone was a little bad.
"It's about Zhen Ni Fang!"
Yong'an Hou had just received the news and immediately rushed to the East Palace. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and panted, "Do you know why our Zhen Ni Fang business has been so good in the past few months?"
Before the prince could ask, Yong'an Hou said angrily, "The soapberries we paid for were bought by the people from the Zhenguo Mansion!"
The prince sat up straight, his expression suddenly changed, "How much money did Zhen Ni Fang give as subsidy?"
"Since the opening, we have made one million taels!"
Yong'an Marquis' voice trembled a little, "If it weren't for the Zhenguo Mansion buying food and sending it to the border, I would have sent people to investigate this matter, and I don't know how much I would have spent!"
"One million taels!"
The prince gnashed his teeth, veins bulging at his temples.
It usually takes several generations for a wealthy family to accumulate a fortune of one million, but they spent one million taels of silver in just a few months!
Yong'an Hou frowned, "I have already mobilized all the silver available in the manor and shop. If you don't want to give up halfway, you can only use that money."
"That money cannot be touched!" The prince's expression was stern.
"But I don't have any money on hand now, what should I do with Zhen Ni Fang?"
Marquis Yong'an was extremely anxious.
If we give up now, the one million taels we previously subsidized will all be wasted!
One million taels, that's most of his assets!
The prince pursed his thin lips into a straight line, his mind thinking rapidly.
After a moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "The money that the General's Mansion has embezzled over the years is still in the hands of the third brother. You ask the Minister of Revenue to expose this matter at the court tomorrow morning."
I've been busy with the secret room these days and forgot to deal with the third brother. This time I have the perfect opportunity to deal with him!
"Yes, how could I have forgotten this!" Yong'an Hou's eyes lit up, "I will go find the Minister of Revenue right now."
The emperor has been obsessed with alchemy these days, and most of the state affairs have been handed over to the crown prince. Most of the silver confiscated from the third prince can be found in the crown prince's pocket.
Marquis Yong'an left in a hurry, and the prince sat alone in the palace.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes revealing a bit of viciousness, "How dare you go against me, you don't know what you are talking about!"
On the second morning of the court, the Minister of Revenue stepped out and presented the account book to impeach the Third Prince, "Your Majesty, today I want to accuse the Third Prince of embezzling the money embezzled from the General's Mansion and enriching himself!"
There was an uproar in the court.
The third prince stood up, neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly: "Father, there is another hidden story behind this matter."
The emperor frowned slightly, looking displeased.
Upon seeing this, the prince stepped forward and said respectfully, "Father, I think it is not too late to check the evidence first and then listen to my third brother's explanation."
The emperor snorted and motioned the eunuch beside him to take the account book and check it. The account book was extremely detailed, with every amount of money in and out clearly recorded.
After the emperor read it, his face became even gloomier. "The evidence is irrefutable, Third Brother, what else do you have to say?"
The Third Prince leaned forward and said in a clear voice, "Father, this is something that my cousin had previously entrusted to me. I only discovered this yesterday. I wanted to present it to the national treasury after finding out the truth. How dare I embezzle it?"
The prince sneered: "Don't try to quibble, Third Brother. How can such a thing happen by coincidence?"
At this time, the Minister of Revenue, Lord Qi, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Third Prince handed me an account book yesterday, saying that it might be the money embezzled by the General's Mansion, and asked me to hand it over to the national treasury today."
Lord Qi pulled out a blue account book from his sleeve. The eunuch at the side came over, took the thing, bowed and handed it to the emperor.
The third prince looked at the crown prince, his lips curled up and his eyes were full of provocation.
He discovered yesterday that Marquis Yong'an went to see the Minister of Revenue, and guessed that the Crown Prince would definitely expose the matter at the morning court today.
Fortunately, he informed the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion of the matter in advance, otherwise Lord Qi would not have helped him.
This matter can be considered a big deal or a small deal, it all depends on the attitude of the person sitting above.
The emperor was already tired of these trivial matters, and threw the account book aside casually. "Since it is embezzlement of silver, Qi Aiqing, you will be responsible for registering this matter and adding it to the national treasury."
"Yes!"
Lord Qi accepted the order and bowed as he returned to his original position.
It’s the Zhenguogong Mansion again!!!
The prince clenched his teeth, his drooping eyes filled with an icy coldness.
At night, he sneaked into Changchun Palace, endured the nausea and made out with Bai Yaoyao for a while, then hugged her and asked, "Have you had any Tiance recently?"
"Your Highness, what happened?"
Bai Yaoyao placed her white and tender fingers on his chest, raised her head, and looked at him with moist eyes.
"It's the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. They've been ruining my good deeds lately!"
"It's them again?"
Bai Yaoyao hated the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to the core, especially Bai Youyou.
"Your Highness, you are destined to be the master." She said bitterly, "If you want to follow the way of heaven, you must get rid of Bai Youyou, the anomaly, before you can get back on the right track!"
"You mean, the root of everything lies with Bai Youyou?"
"Ok!"
Bai Yaoyao nodded heavily, "There has never been a person named Bai Youyou in the Book of Heaven's Secrets. It was because of her appearance that the originally predetermined fate was changed."
The prince thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed true.
If there was no Bai Youyou, how could the Zhenguo Mansion have Yunnifang? Without Yunnifang, the Zhenguo Mansion would be worrying about food and fodder for the army and asking for help everywhere.
"Besides this, do you have any other predictions?"
Bai Yaoyao shook her head. "Not now, but in March next year, the barbarians on the border will pretend to surrender and seek peace. Your Highness can make a big fuss about this."
She just briefly mentioned these things when she wrote them, and mainly wrote about her and the prince's lovey-dovey relationship, which made people feel dirty when reading this pornographic book.
She should have had a happy life, but it was all ruined by Bai Youyou!!
"Your Highness, Bai Youyou cannot be kept alive, you must kill her!"
Bai Yaoyao looked angry.
Bai Youyou not only changed the fate of others, but most importantly, she also changed her own fate!
"Don't worry, I'll get someone to do it right away."
After getting the news he wanted, the prince pushed her away, picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on, comforted Bai Yaoyao with a few words, and left without looking back.
After returning to the East Palace, he immediately asked someone to prepare hot water and washed himself inside and out before relaxing his frown.
His white undergarments hung loosely on his body, and he walked out barefoot.
“Zhu Liu, go and invite Qin Ran to the East Palace tomorrow. Tell her that Wang Liangdi has been feeling unwell these days and ask her to stay with her for a few days.”
Zhu Liu hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Your Highness, what about the Grand Tutor?"
"Humph, how dare he disobey my order?"
The prince's eyes were cold.
As his tutor, if he doesn't do things for him, what's the point of having him? !
