After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

There were only a handful of people in the imperial capital who had access to the salt and iron business, so Murong Yanhui and the prince had their suspects from the first moment, and all that was left was to find evidence.

After Murong Cheng had his secret guards thoroughly investigate the people detained by the county magistrate, he was surprised to find that the doctors who were supposed to be saving lives and healing the wounded were actually detained on trumped-up charges.

Murong Cheng was furious and ordered all the doctors to be released. He even exposed his identity and captured the county magistrate who was so reckless about killing people. He also found a lot of unexpected and very useful evidence in the county magistrate's home.

The next three days were like a dream for the entire Pei County. First, everyone was told that their illnesses could be cured, and those who had been driven out of the city were also brought back.

Many people were overjoyed to be reunited with their families.

The second major event was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually went to Pei County in disguise and dismissed many officials overnight. Such a thundering move made people applaud, especially after the people knew the cause of their illness.

A young miracle doctor who appeared with the prince and his companions worked with other doctors to develop a prescription that could completely cure them, and the conditions of many people have been alleviated.

One piece of good news after another came like pie in the sky, making the people of Pei County go crazy with joy, and dumbfounded a group of ministers in Jiangnan who were trying hard to please the eldest prince and even try to delay time.

Murong Feng was also dumbfounded. He hadn't even arrived in Pei County in person when word got out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had solved the plague. How embarrassed was he?

But Murong Feng was naturally not a fool, so at the last moment, he wrote a letter of denunciation to the emperor, listing the names of all the officials who had delayed him.

The plague in Jiangnan was resolved quietly and without a trace. Yu Qingli, who made the greatest contribution, also quietly left and parted ways with the prince and his men. Now is not the time for her to reveal her identity. She could be a hidden knife for the prince, but she doesn't want anyone to find out her trump card for the time being.

Although the prince was not clear about Yu Qingli's purpose, he respected her decision very much. Moreover, with Murong Yanhui present, he had no possibility of objecting.

So, when the prince brought a group of officials to the capital to report, Yu Qingli finally found the time to check her shop. After that, she and Murong Yan returned to the capital in a very low-key manner.

In the court, there are familiar people and things, but the only difference is the mood of Murong Feng and others.

Murong Yanhui was still leaning lazily to the side, his eyes darkening as he looked at the man on the dragon throne. Murong Shiling, who was sitting with his back to the light, was completely shrouded in a layer of faint sunlight, which set off his yellow dragon robe, making him look even more shrouded in mist and his true appearance could not be seen clearly.

Over the years, he really seemed to have never seen his brother clearly.

Suddenly, his eyes felt dry, and Murong Yanhui simply closed them, listening to the eunuch reading the imperial edict on the stage: "...Therefore, I specially commend Crown Prince Murong Cheng and reward him with 5,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 pieces of silk each. I also reward First Prince Murong Feng with 10,000 taels of silver and 1,000 pieces of silk each for his assistance. I will also punish the Governor-General of Jiangnan, the Magistrate of Pei County, and..."

After a series of penalties, Murong Yanhui's lips curled up slightly. He squinted his eyes and glanced at Murong Feng, his nephew who was kneeling on the ground with a loyal and honest face, with his teeth clenched and his fists clenched tightly.

Murong Yanhui glanced at Murong Shiling on the dragon throne again. Was he trying to scare the enemy by reading out such a clear imperial edict of rewards and punishments today?

Everyone knows that this time the Crown Prince sacrificed his own relatives for the sake of justice, but the eldest prince made many attempts to interfere, which resulted in all his own cronies being exposed. Now Murong Shiling has killed him and clipped most of his wings under the pretext of the epidemic. I'm afraid this is also a warning to Murong Feng. I just don't know if Murong Feng understands it.

Murong Yanhui looked at Murong Feng again, but saw that his face was full of resentment, and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes.

Murong Feng is still determined to do something evil, and it seems that he will make another move later, Murong Yanhui thought to himself, and lazily glanced at the expressions of the people in the court. Some were panic-stricken, some had expressionless faces, and some were gloating. The more he looked, the more interesting it became. He thought that it was no wonder that Lili was so concerned about the affairs of the court recently. It turned out that all kinds of people were concentrated in this small court.

Just as Murong Yanhui was lost in thought, Murong Shiling suddenly spoke, "King Yan."

Murong Yan smiled back and walked to the front of the hall, "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"

"You have been meritorious in commanding the army this time, but you are used to being a free spirit. I don't know what reward you should receive. Is there anything you would like?"

"Well..." Murong Yanhui scratched his cheek, "To be honest, I want to ask Your Majesty for a woman."

Before Murong Yan finished her reply, some ministers in the court could no longer hold back their laughter.

"Your Highness the Prince of Yan is indeed amorous. Now that His Majesty has spoken, you actually want a woman?!"

"That's right. I don't know which girl this is, but she actually got His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan to speak up for her."

"Ah, speaking up is secondary. The most important thing is that there is actually a woman in the capital that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan can't handle."

The ministers talked to each other and the tense atmosphere that was just tense was mostly dissipated.

Murong Yanhui nodded upon hearing this, and then said, "Your Excellencies are absolutely right." He then clasped his fists towards Murong Shiling and said, "Your Majesty, then I don't want anything."

Murong Shiling smiled, a rare moment, upon hearing this. "Tell me, what kind of girl is this that you're so obsessed with? Otherwise, how about I grant you a marriage? You're already so old and still unmarried, and the Queen Mother is very worried."

Murong Yanhui waved his hand hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, although marrying a wife is a big deal, do you know what the greatest pleasure of marrying a wife is?"

Murong Shiling raised his eyebrows and asked in agreement, "What?"

"Of course I'm in the process of pursuing her!" Murong Yanhui laughed triumphantly. "Although this woman has a rather fiery temper, I like her. If His Majesty grants us a marriage, wouldn't that ruin the fun? Besides, as the others have just said, it's really not appropriate to discuss this woman in the court."

Murong Shiling gave Murong Yanhui a deep look and said, "Well, then, I'll do as you say."

Murong Yanhui smiled, thanked him, and stepped aside. He listened to Murong Shiling's last few words and then dismissed the court. He didn't want to stay for a moment and headed out of the palace.

Many people greeted him along the way and asked with a smile who Murong Yanhui was from. He just answered casually with a few words.

Everyone in Canghe knew that His Royal Highness Prince Yan was a playboy, and now he actually asked for it in person in the court, which showed that the woman held a very important position in his heart.

Murong Yanhui didn't know that his words had caused an uproar. All the adults were eager to climb up his big tree. After returning home, they kept urging their daughters to participate in more activities of Prince Yan. Even if she was not the main wife, it was a great honor to have her as a concubine. Of course, this is all a story for later.

Murong Yanhui avoided the adults who were asking questions all the way, but he noticed that Murong Feng came out of the hall with a dark face and went straight to the imperial garden.

Murong Yanhui's heart moved, his eyes flashed, and he found an excuse to follow quietly.

Murong Feng had suffered setbacks since the imperial examinations, and now he was probably running out of people to use. If he wanted to appease the remaining people, it would depend on his methods. Either he could finally hold his head high, or he could use money. The first option was unlikely, so the second option was the only option left.

However, does Murong Feng still have money now?

Murong Yanhui curled the corners of his lips and flew up the rockery like a swallow. He had been accustomed to this imperial garden since he was a child, and he was very familiar with every corner.

There is a hole on the top of the rockery, which is just right for hiding people from being discovered by outsiders. However, people outside have never thought that there would be someone hiding on the top of the rockery, so they all like to whisper under the rockery.

Murong Yan recalled the little secrets of eunuchs and palace maids that she had heard in her childhood, and her heart became more and more happy, wondering what she would hear this time.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from below. Murong Yan leaned back to the cave to take a look, but was disappointed. The angle at which the man was standing was so strange that she could only see a pair of feet.

"Does your master still keep his word as he said last time?" Murong Feng asked in a deep voice.

"Then tell your master that I will visit him tonight." After Murong Feng said this, the pair of feet disappeared again nimbly.

Murong Yan wanted to chase that person, but Murong Feng was under the rockery, so it was inconvenient for him to move. He could only look at Murong Feng anxiously.

Murong Feng seemed to be full of thoughts. He stood there for a long time before leaving reluctantly. Murong Yanhui knew that it was hopeless to chase him, so she had to give up hope of tracking him.

"So, you don't know who Murong Feng is going to visit?" Yu Qingli held the teacup and looked at Murong Yanhui who was grabbing the back of his head, feeling a little funny in her heart.

"Yeah, I don't know if that person did it on purpose or not, but he stood there so coincidentally that I could only see a pair of shoes." Murong Yan replied, "I can't tell anything about the shoes..."

"Wait!" Murong Yan slapped her forehead. "That person's legs seem to be one long and one short, so the sole of one of his shoes has to be three inches thicker."

Yu Qingli's hand holding the teacup trembled, but she calmed down again. "There are so many people with long and short legs. Finding one person is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"That's not necessarily true." Murong Yan smiled back. "There are many long-legged people in the capital, but there may not be many long-legged people appearing in the palace. They must be retainers who followed a master to court. If we just look for the details of these masters' servants, wouldn't we know?"

Yu Qingli nodded, stood up and said, "In that case, little uncle, go and check it out. I also have some things to do, so I'll take my leave now."
