The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

When Mu Xiyue woke up, it was already daybreak. She hurried out of bed. She hadn't woken up even when Xiao Yibai went out in the middle of the night. She didn't know if he had gained anything from the previous night.

Xiao Yibai came in just after I finished washing up. "Why don't you sleep a little longer? Are you hungry?"

Mu Xiyue took his arm and whispered, "I'm not very hungry. Did you get anything last night?"

"Yes, I've gained a lot. Let's go have breakfast first, and I'll show you after breakfast."

After breakfast, Xiao Yibai took her to an empty room in the yard. With a wave of his hand, a pile of wooden boxes appeared in the room.

"Also, put these away first and put them all in your place. My space is too small and I almost can't fit them all in."

Mu Xiyue didn't even look at what was there. It was just some gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, jade and the like.

Xiao Yibai really filled up his space last night. After transferring all the valuables to Mu Xiyue, the two returned to the study together.

"Apart from these, the biggest gain was finding a lot of evidence related to the Chen family and the King of Qi. From the secret letters between him and the King of Qi, it can be seen that Hong Zhongliang is actually the King of Qi's man. I guess even Father hasn't found out about this."

I didn't expect that Hong Zhongliang really hid all his property and things in his concubine's house. If Xiao Yibai hadn't found anything useful in Hong Zhongliang's Shangshu Mansion last night, he wouldn't have watched him so closely.

"You've emptied Hong Zhongliang's family fortune. Do you think he'll report it to the police?" Mu Xiyue said as she sent her spiritual sense into the space to take a quick look. "Fuck! So many gold bars! Ah Bai, have you seen what they are?"

Because gold is very heavy, the wooden boxes that hold gold are very small. The standard box is two thousand taels per box. Mu Xiyue took a look and found that there were more than a hundred boxes of gold. She had never received so much gold from any other family.

Xiao Yibai didn't take a close look at what was inside, but he could tell at a glance that the wooden boxes containing gold and silver were much smaller than the wooden boxes containing other objects.

Xiao Yibai said, "He can only swallow this shame and not report it to the police. How can a concubine with four children and so much property be stolen? If they investigate in detail, they will definitely find a connection with Hong Zhongliang."

Not only would this expose Hong Zhongliang's mistress, but the source of the huge amount of wealth would also arouse suspicion. If he had a huge amount of wealth in his own house, he could say it was his wife's private property, after all, his father-in-law was a wealthy businessman, but anyone with a brain would be able to figure out where the wealth was hidden outside.

Mu Xiyue used her spiritual sense to scan the things in the space again. She didn't expect that a Minister of Justice could be so greedy for so much wealth. It really proved the old saying: If an official is not for money, what is the point of moving mountains and crossing rivers?

Mu Xiyue came to her senses and asked, "Since we have so much evidence from Hong Zhongliang, can we close the net early?"

Xiao Yibai nodded. "Well, I have quite a bit of evidence that can be linked together. Father secretly brought over thirty accomplices from other places to the capital at the end of the year. They are now being held in the imperial farm outside the city. Father meant it would be best to bring them into the city so that they can be kept under his watch."

Mu Xiyue understood what he meant, "You want to lock him up in the palace?"

"If I were to be locked up in the palace, if those people knew about it, the palace might be harassed from time to time. I wasn't afraid before, but now that you're pregnant, I don't want any accidents, so I didn't agree. Father also thought of this, so the matter was put aside."

Mu Xiyue felt that she was not that fragile. "If it doesn't work, bring her to the palace. I can protect myself. You know my strength. Trust me."

The situation at the Imperial Manor was really unsettling. Xiao Yibai's men discovered that Prince Qi's men were investigating the Imperial Manor, which made Xiao Yibai hesitate whether to detain them in the Prince's Palace.

Mu Xiyue knew that getting rid of the Chen family and the Queen was something Xiao Yibai had been planning for years and had to do. "Listen to me, lock them up in the palace. My pregnancy won't affect my strength. If someone really doesn't have the guts to break into the palace, I'll just protect myself and not participate in repelling the enemy."

The dungeon of the palace is not only heavily guarded, but also difficult to break into without a guide. It is obviously safe to lock people up in the palace.

Xiao Yibai smiled and said, "Okay, I'll transfer them here this afternoon."

Mu Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you. Bringing back more than a dozen people would make them too conspicuous. We'll knock them out and put them in my space. That way, no one will know they've been brought back to the palace."

Before lunch, Imperial Physician Lu came to check Mu Xiyue's pulse. The pulse was good and the fetus was also very healthy. Only then did Xiao Yibai feel at ease to take Mu Xiyue to the imperial farm.

The two of them only brought Xiaotao and Qiyun, and there were several people following them along the way. Xiao Yibai asked Qiyun to slow down and deliberately let someone catch up.

When they arrived at the imperial farm, those followers definitely couldn't get in. Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue went to the yard where the prisoners were held, while Qiyun and Xiaotao stayed outside the yard.

These people here didn't think about escaping. They all knew that if they escaped and were caught by the Chen family, they would die. If they didn't escape, they might still be able to survive.

Mu Xiyue didn't say much. As soon as she entered, she immediately threw out the sleeping pills. In just over ten breaths, more than thirty people had passed out. To prevent these people from waking up quickly, Xiao Yibai fed them another sleeping pill.

The four of them did not stay in the imperial farm for long. They threw everyone into the space and rushed back. Those following them did not make any other unnecessary movements and just followed behind.

When they were almost at the city gate, Xiao Yibai's secret guards received Qi Yun's signal and followed those followers.

After Mu Xiyue threw the people into the dungeon of the palace, the secret guards who were following them also came back to report.

Xiao Yibai waved his hand after hearing the report, and Mu Xiyue wasn't surprised. There were three groups of people who had followed them to the Imperial Manor: those from Duke Chen's Mansion, Prince Rui's Mansion, and the Empress's men.

"I understand that Prince Rui is not on the same side with Duke Chen and the Queen, but don't the Queen and Duke Chen share information?"

Mu Xiyue didn't understand so she asked. Those people who were following her were not very good at hiding. There were seven people in three groups and they were following her very closely, so it was difficult for them not to be discovered.

Xiao Yibai pinched a piece of the cake that Xiao Tao had just brought in and placed it next to Mu Xiyue's mouth. "Eat something. Dinner will be served in another half hour. The Chen family and the Queen must have received news about the imperial farm separately, but before they could communicate, Prince Rui's men weren't following us. They were following the Chen family. When they discovered they were following us, they deliberately made some noise to let us know."

Mu Xiyue swallowed the cake in her mouth and said, "So, Prince Rui is now openly at odds with the Chen family?"

"He even killed Princess Rui. How can you say he has no grudges against the Chen family? When we were in Luzhou, I asked Qi Feng to tell Prince Rui that the assassins the Chen family had hired were from Prince Qi. So Prince Rui thought the Chen family was hiring assassins for Prince Qi."

Mu Xiyue raised an eyebrow, "So, Prince Rui thought that the Chen family has been secretly supporting Prince Qi all these years?"

Xiao Yibai nodded, "Yes, the Chen family's second branch has always been dissatisfied with the first branch. Now that the second branch's daughter is the concubine of Prince Rui, Prince Rui and the people of the second branch are planning to trick the first branch together."

During the Chinese New Year, the Emperor asked Ji Yun to treat Prince Rui's leg. Knowing that Ji Yun's medical skills were no less than those of the Imperial Physician, Ji Yun, under Xiao Yibai's instruction, offered Prince Rui some hope, saying he had only a 50% chance of curing the leg, and even with that 50%, recovery would still take three years.

So Prince Rui had hope in his heart, and naturally he could not let the Chen family support Prince Qi.
