Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 288

in the palace

"You said that someone is calculating the money from the flood in Jiangnan?" Chu Yuanming asked with a frown.

"At that time, we only heard that they wanted to use the floods in Jiangnan to demand money from the court." Chu Haojue frowned and said.

"Recently, there have been frequent memorials from Jiangnan, saying that the floods are severe. Implicit in their words, they are asking the court to allocate relief funds to them." The prince frowned. Originally, he and his father had already discussed allocating funds, but he didn't expect that there was something false in this matter?

"Second brother, I may have to trouble you to go to Jiangnan in the near future." Chu Yuanming thought about it and decided to let Chu Haojue go to Jiangnan.

"Why don't we go directly to Jiangnan, Second Brother?" The prince thought. Anyway, no one knew that Chu Haojue was back.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell An An, and then we'll set off for Jiangnan." Chu Haojue also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he said.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Chu Yuanming didn't know who was causing trouble this time.

After all, Prince Lin'an and Prince Dong'an were both doing farm work in the West Mountain Villa and had no time to deal with these things.

Among his princes, the two most powerful ones are here, while the others are insignificant and cannot come up with such a good plan.

When Chu Haojue returned to the Qiao family, he saw Dongxu waiting in the yard.

Chu Haojue suddenly felt jealous.

"What are you doing here?" Chu Haojue asked Dongxu with dissatisfaction.

"You're back?" Dongxu thought that Chu Haojue was still in the border town, but he didn't expect that he would come back.

However, I also feel that many things will be much easier now that he is back.

"Why, do you like me?" For some reason, Chu Haojue felt that Dongxu seemed very happy to see him?

"You're dreaming." Dongxu said unhappily, thinking to himself, if it weren't for the Qiao family, he really wouldn't pay any attention to this lunatic.

"I have something to tell you. This is not the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else." Dongxu thought, Chu Haojue is back, there are some things that should not be said here.

After all, the Yao family has already come to Beijing. Who knows if they have planted any spies in the Qiao family?

"What is it that can't be said here?" Chu Haojue asked with a frown. He always felt that Dongxu was acting strangely today.

"If you want to know, just follow me." Dongxu said unhappily.

He is providing free services, yet he is still not satisfied. You know, the information from their Tianji Pavilion is very expensive.

Chu Haojue followed Dongxu reluctantly, and before he knew it, he arrived at Tianji Pavilion.

"Pavilion Master!"

The people inside bowed respectfully to Dongxu.

"Come in, why are you standing there like an idiot?" Dongxu looked at Chu Haojue who was standing at the door and said unhappily.

"You are actually the head of the Tianji Pavilion?" Chu Haojue was really surprised.

Originally, he thought that Dongxu was just like Dongsheng, a subordinate of Qiao Anan.

But now it seems that it is not the case at all.

If that’s the case, why would Dongxu listen to Qiao Anan?

Thinking of this, Chu Haojue felt sour again.

Dongxu rolled his eyes in his heart. He wanted to say, I'm not the one, your wife is. However, since Qiao Anan didn't tell Chu Haojue at this time, he didn't know how to tell him.

"Hurry up and tell me what you want to tell me?" Chu Haojue thought. He was waiting to talk to Qiao Anan before leaving for Jiangnan.

"Have the Yao family members from Qingxi come to the capital?" Dongxu asked in a gentle voice after the servant brought tea.

"You are the leader of Tianji Pavilion. Aren't you asking this question even though you already know the answer? You are here and still staying at Qiao's house." Chu Haojue said unhappily. In his opinion, Dongxu should know better than him.

"I recently got a piece of news that the prince of the previous dynasty is now plotting to restore the previous dynasty." Dongxu said slowly.

"The crown prince of the previous dynasty?" Chu Haojue was shocked. The previous dynasty had been destroyed for many years, but he didn't expect that a crown prince of the previous dynasty would appear now.

"You must have received a lot of news about floods in the south of the Yangtze River recently, right? It seems that these are the disturbances caused by the remnants of the prince of the previous dynasty." Dongxu said again.

"Thank you for telling me this news." Chu Haojue took a deep breath. Putting aside his prejudice against Dongxu because of Qiao Anan, it was indeed a great favor for Dongxu to tell him about this matter.

"There is one more thing. We have received news that the remnants of the previous dynasty are now located in Qingxi, and they seem to have a close relationship with the Yao family. However, we dare not get too close to investigate who they are from the Yao family." Dongxu dropped another bombshell.

"Anything else?" Chu Haojue looked at Dongxu unhappily, thinking to himself that this man must be taking revenge on him.

Otherwise, why didn't he say it all at once?

Now, half of the young generation of the Yao family in Qingxi have come to Beijing.

Someone from the Yao family had seen him, so it was absolutely impossible for him to go on the trip to Jiangnan.

Since the Yao family members were staying at the Qiao family's house, he should have stayed and kept a close eye on them.

"I wonder if I can ask the Pavilion Master to do something?" Chu Haojue wanted the East Pavilion to investigate the flood in the south of the Yangtze River.

But I don’t know whether Dongxu is willing to go or not.

"Our Tianji Pavilion is just a place to collect intelligence. If the Second Prince wants to know any information and can afford the price, we will naturally tell him everything we know." Dongxu said with a smile.

"I understand this matter. I will definitely send a thank you gift." Chu Haojue did not dare to delay any longer. He hurried into the palace and reported this important news to the emperor and the prince to discuss countermeasures.

Dongxu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but didn't say much.

A thank-you gift? If he gave it, he would have to accept it.

Just as Chu Yuanming was about to hug Concubine Wu to sleep, Eunuch Li's urgent voice was heard outside.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince said he wants to see you regarding something important." Eunuch Li was really afraid that the Second Prince would rush in hastily.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Wu was so angry. Last time, she and the emperor were about to consummate their marriage, but that damned Concubine De came to ruin her plan. Why did the Second Prince come again this time?

She has been in the palace for so long, and finally the emperor has picked her. Is she going to be punished again?

Thinking of this, Wu Mei became unhappy.

This is really bullying.

"Okay, go to sleep first." Chu Yuanming didn't dare to delay. Chu Haojue was not the kind of person who would do anything rash.

Although it was a bit unkind to stop my father from being intimate with the concubines.

However, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

The Crown Prince had just coaxed the Crown Princess to sleep when he heard the guard beside him say that the Second Prince asked the Crown Prince to go to the imperial study.

"Crown Prince?" The Crown Princess was a little confused.

"You go to sleep first, I'll be back soon." The prince said to the princess to comfort her.

"Hmm!" Upon hearing this, the Crown Princess went back to sleep.

The prince instructed the palace maids to take good care of the Crown Princess and then hurried to the imperial study.

However, the prince didn’t know whether Chu Haojue was taking revenge on them this time, or if there was something else going on?

The prince would rather think that this was a prank by Chu Haojue. If there was something wrong, it must be urgent. Otherwise, he would not come to the palace to find them at this hour.
