Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter

If it is worth thirty or fifty thousand, let the two brothers divide it.

I don't lack that little money.

Anyway, he has a daughter-in-law who can make money.

Oh, no, now he has two daughters-in-law who can make money.

"Your Majesty, if the contents of the box are consistent with what I saw, a conservative estimate is that there should be over one million taels of silver." The young eunuch pondered for a moment and then said.

After all, some of the boxes placed below were not opened, and he did not check the opened boxes to see whether the contents at the bottom were exactly the same as those at the top.

Chu Yuanming took a breath after hearing this. So many?

What kind of bad luck does the second brother have?

Think about it, this second brother was really poor in the first half of his life, but became rich enough to rival a country in the second half.

"I'll go and see it myself." Chu Yuanming suddenly became a little uneasy. He stood up and was about to walk towards the Second Prince's Mansion.

"Knock, knock, knock." Suddenly, a strange sound was heard in the imperial study.

"Who is it?" Eunuch Li was startled and quickly stood in front of Chu Yuanming.

The young eunuch also quickly stood behind Chu Yuanming to protect him.

Chu Yuanming also stared at the floor that seemed to be bulging, and was shocked.

"Who's coming out?" Chu Yuanming stared at the floor!

Suddenly, the floor that was supposed to be raised suddenly stopped moving.

But the people in the imperial study were still worried and didn't dare to let go.

Eunuch Li saw that there had been no movement for a long time and thought that everything was fine, so he was about to go forward to check.

"boom!"

Suddenly there was a loud noise and the floor was pushed out.

The imperial study was in good condition, but now a hole appeared.

"Someone come! There's an assassin." Eunuch Li screamed in fright.

"Eunuch Li, it's us!" Chu Haojue recognized the voice as Eunuch Li's and shouted quickly.

"Is the emperor okay?" Yao Quan, the imperial guard outside, was about to rush in.

"You all wait outside. Don't come in without my order. I'm fine." Chu Yuanming saw that it was his second son, so he stopped the people outside and said.

"Yes! If the emperor has any instructions, just shout." The royal guards did not dare to come in, but they did not dare to leave.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" Chu Yuanming was furious. Didn't he say he had found a treasure in his palace? Why was he digging a hole in his palace again?

They say a dragon gives birth to nine sons, each one different. Could it be that this second son is the one who can dig holes? But he's not a mouse either!

"Father, please wait until your son and the prince go out before you talk." Chu Haojue was also very puzzled. Why did he come to the imperial study this time?

The voice that came from the direction where he and Qiao Anan were walking before was clearly a woman's. It was impossible for a concubine to appear in the imperial study alone!

There were no palace maids in the imperial study.

"The prince is here too?" Chu Yuanming looked at Chu Haojue, whose head was still covered in dirt, and couldn't imagine how he would face it if his majestic son, the prince, appeared in front of him like a groundhog.

Chu Haojue jumped out of the secret passage first, then reached out and pulled the prince.

Fortunately, apart from some dust on the prince's body, there was no mud on his head.

After the prince came out, he gently dusted himself off.

"You go down first." Chu Yuanming saw the prince and Chu Haojue appear here.

Then I knew things were not simple.

Quickly let the young eunuch and Eunuch Li wait outside.

"What's going on?" After everyone left, Chu Yuanming asked with a frown.

"Father, we came here through the secret passage in the secret room of the Second Prince's residence. I just don't know why the other exit of the secret room became the Imperial Study." When the prince thought of this answer, he felt a little scared.

The secret passage leads to the imperial study, what does that mean?

That means that the emperor's safety is threatened at any time.

"What do you mean the other exit of the secret room has become the imperial study? Could it have led to somewhere else before?" Chu Yuanming asked in confusion.

"Father, An An and I have walked through this secret passage once. The first place we arrived at seemed to be the palace of a concubine. We heard the concubine talking. I don't understand why we ended up in your imperial study this time." Chu Haojue was also very puzzled.

"Did anything happen on your way here? Or did you encounter anything?" As an emperor, Chu Yuanming had heard of some things about mechanical devices.

"No..." Chu Haojue was about to say no when he remembered.

The prince tripped at that time.

"Crown Prince, did you touch anything when you fell?" Chu Haojue asked quickly.

"Your Majesty, when I came here, I accidentally tripped over something and fell down. But when I went to check again, the ground was indeed flat." The prince also remembered that he was tripped by something at that time.

"Liuyun, take some people in to check it out. Make sure to investigate every direction that the secret passage leads to." Chu Yuanming was furious. He asked his personal guard Liuyun to send people to investigate the secret passage.

This is no longer a simple secret passage.

This is a knife that is always on his neck.

"Father, there is another exit in the secret passage." The prince quickly signaled Chu Haojue to tell the emperor about the other exit.

"Where does it lead to?" Chu Yuanming originally thought that Chu Yuan Kingdom was very safe, but at this moment he felt a chill on his back.

He didn't know that there was such a secret passage in his imperial study.

What about my own bedroom? Is there also such a secret passage?

And what about the secret passage that Chu Haojue mentioned that leads to the concubine's palace?

Chu Yuanming felt that he would not be able to sleep or eat well until these things were thoroughly investigated.

He was afraid that someone would enter his room or the concubines' room while he was sleeping and kill him.

"The secret passage that your father left leads to a deserted house in the suburbs. The owner of that deserted house is a concubine of An Xiuyuan." Chu Haojue said quickly.

"An Xiuyuan? The Vice Minister of War?" Chu Yuanming didn't know what the Vice Minister of War had to do with this matter?

"Father, who was the original owner of the mansion where my second brother lived?" The prince thought about it and raised the question.

"That mansion was originally the residence given to Prince Anqing by the late emperor. Later, due to some things, Prince Anqing and his family moved to the fiefdom. Wu Zhao was not allowed to return to the capital." Chu Yuanming thought for a long time before he remembered that the original owner of this mansion was Prince Anqing.

But now King Anqing has passed away, and it is even more impossible for him to return to the capital.

"Father, my mansion has long been razed to the ground. Now I can't check whether there was an entrance to the secret room in my mansion. However, those gold, silver and jewelry were indeed found in my mansion." Chu Haojue felt at this time that disaster was really coming from the sky while one was at home.

If this matter is not investigated thoroughly, the emperor might think that he has rebellious intentions.

After all, those things were indeed found in his house.
