Confiscated property and exiled? I and the charlatan prince are competing against each other

Having never taken care of a child since childhood, Jiang Yining finds that taking care of a child doesn't seem to be difficult when looking at Jiang Yiqi now.

In the exile team, adult men would have iron chains on their hands, but there were no restrictions for women and children.

"Grandma, look at Jiang Yining." Jiang Qingyue came to Old Lady Jiang and complained, "She knew that you couldn't work hard, but she took Jiang Yiqi in the car without thinking about you."

Old Mrs. Jiang is already fifty-seven years old. Although the Jiang family is not outstanding, her two sons are both fourth-rank officials in Beijing.

She usually lived in the backyard and had never suffered such hardship.

Hearing this, Mrs. Jiang's face darkened.

Just as he was about to ask Jiang Qingyue to call Jiang Yining over, Jiang Xinyu, the eldest daughter of the third room, who was supporting her, said softly, "I heard that the prince was injured due to punishment. His Majesty allowed the prince to use the carriage."

Realizing that the real owner of the carriage was Shi Henian, Mrs. Jiang swallowed back what she was about to say.

She thought for a moment, then said to Jiang Qingyue, "When we rest at night, call Jiang Yining back."

"Okay, grandma." Jiang Qingyue nodded and glared at Jiang Xinyu unkindly past Old Lady Jiang.

Receiving the reproachful look, Jiang Xinyu pretended not to see it and lowered her head to look at the stone and grass-covered road beneath her feet.

"Your Majesty, it's not good!"

"Prince Chen's Mansion was robbed!"

"Stolen?" In the imperial study, Emperor Jing, who was sitting on a high seat, heard the words and kept writing: "Didn't the Imperial Guards already record the things in Prince Chen's Mansion and wait for them to be moved to the Treasure Pavilion?"

The commander of the imperial guards, Wei Kai, who came to report, knelt down tremblingly and said carefully:

"Your Majesty, the Prince Chen's property had been sorted out and was just waiting to be moved to the vacant Treasure Pavilion tonight. But in the blink of an eye, it's all gone."

"Commander Wei, are you kidding me?" Eunuch Li at the side could not help but speak up: "The Prince Chen's Mansion has been surrounded by you and the imperial guards. Not even a fly can fly out. All the family property has disappeared? Is it haunted?"

"Your Majesty, it's...really missing." Wei Kai spoke with difficulty, his heart having sunk to the bottom at this moment.

He personally led the team to search and confiscate the property in Prince Chen's Palace, mobilizing a thousand imperial guards.

There are at least two people guarding outside each room where the sealed boxes are stored.

But even with such defense, everything in the room disappeared in less than an hour.

Emperor Jing put down his brush calmly, his expression normal: "It sounds like an unsolved case."

"Let the Golden Wing Guard investigate. Everyone inside or outside the Imperial City, regardless of their identities, must cooperate."

"I want to see whether the person who dares to cause trouble under my nose is a human or a ghost."

After Wei Kai and his men left, Emperor Jing looked at Eunuch Li and said, "Li Decai, tell me again, did that wicked boy call himself "I" when he woke up?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. His Royal Highness Prince Chen may have been seriously injured and confused due to the fever." Eunuch Li knelt down hurriedly.

"Humph, if he had that mind and courage, I would worry less." Emperor Jing sneered.

Eunuch Li didn't dare to respond to such words and could only lower his head and remain silent.

"Did that kid really ask the wise king for money on the street?" Emperor Jing asked again.

"Your Majesty, we not only asked for money, but also medicine for the wounds." Eunuch Li answered truthfully.

Hearing this, the corners of Emperor Jing's mouth could not help but curl up, and he picked up the brush again and turned to the memorial. His tone could not tell whether he was happy or angry: "It's been more than ten years, and you are starting to grow smart."

Great Chu, the twenty-third year of Guangde, spring, March 3.

In just one day, many major events happened in the imperial city.

First, it was the day of the great wedding of Prince Chen Henian and Jiang Yining, the daughter of Jiang Baichuan, the Junior Minister of Agriculture.

Just after the wedding ceremony, Prince Chen was convicted of treason, demoted to a commoner, sentenced to confiscation of property and exiled to Lingnan.

As soon as the exiled team left, Prince Chen’s palace was robbed.

All the family property in the mansion disappeared, and even dozens of tables were missing from the wedding banquet because the food had not yet been served.

The Imperial Guards and the Golden Feather Guards were dispatched, and eventually found the missing properties from Prince Chen's Palace in the palaces of Prince Xian, Prince Jing, Prince Shun, Prince Ji, and Prince Rui.
