After breakfast, Liang Chongyue waved away the people around in the hall, leaned back on the dragon chair, and waited for someone to come.

"Your Majesty, please call me."

Fei He was wearing a familiar black robe and an exquisite silver-rimmed mask. He was kneeling in the hall, his eyes looking straight at the supreme ruler of the world sitting on the dragon throne.

"Get up. The Luo family's rising star has yet to rise. It's not time to give up on Luo Yuwei. He'll definitely be moving around and asking for help these next few days. Go put some pressure on the Luo family. I want them to double the amount of money Luo Yuwei has embezzled in Qizhou over the years and return it to the national treasury. Otherwise, Luo Yuwei will tell everything to stay in prison to survive."

"Your Majesty, with the Luo family's current capabilities, they probably won't be able to come up with so much silver in a short period of time."

Fei He was a little worried that the Luo family could not come up with the money, so he had to give up saving Luo Yuwei. The final result might not be what His Majesty expected.

"It's okay. The Luo family doesn't have any. There are still so many ministers in the capital who have close personal relationships with the Luo family. We can always get enough by gathering more."

Liang Chongyue wanted not only the Luo family, but also the ministers in the court who were involved with the Luo family. These ministers colluded with each other, and each of them held the other's handle.

The embezzled money Luo Yuwei had embezzled over the past ten years was enough to feed the people of Qizhou for three years, but none of this money was publicly disclosed. Luo Wei must have spent whatever he had on building connections everywhere.

The Luo family was relatively restrained in the capital, and they certainly couldn't come up with so much money in a short period of time. In order to protect their own private matters, the officials related to the Luo family had to pay the Luo family out of their own pockets to settle the matter.

"Then once the Luo family hands over the silver to the national treasury, will Your Majesty let Luo Yuwei return home?"

The person has been imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. Even if he holds an official position, he was dragged away from the morning court by the order of His Majesty. Even if the Luo family makes more arrangements, he will be severely punished if he does not die.

But if the Luo family is sensible and pays His Majesty an amount of silver that satisfies His Majesty, and His Majesty is willing to let Luo Yuwei go home, then the court officials in the Ministry of Justice will have to hold back when torturing him.

Each of them has his own unique skills, which can make others look fine, but in fact, all his internal energy and tendons are broken, making him a disabled person from then on.

"I've already said that even if the emperor breaks the law, he's still subject to the same punishment as the common people. Why is Luo Yuwei so special that he deserves special treatment?"

Liang Chongyue's move killed three birds with one stone. First, he used the incident of Ying Feng to deal with Luo Yuwei. Second, he used the incident of Luo Yuwei to remind those officials whose term of office had not yet expired to be aware of the situation and make preparations early. Third, he wanted to win the hearts of the people and fill the national treasury.

"The money the Luo family sent was to protect the Luo family. Others naturally have their own thoughts. What the people want is my attitude of zero tolerance towards this matter. Who cares whether Luo Yuwei lives or dies?"

Liang Chongyue believed that with Zhuge Yuanye's publicity, this matter had spread throughout the capital. The head of the Luo family was a smart man, and being able to save the Luo family now was already the best outcome of this matter.

By the time the next generation of the Luo family grew up, more than ten years had passed, and Luo Yuwei had long since become pale words in the family tree.

"Yes, I understand."

Fei He took the order and withdrew. Although Liang Chongyue did not give Fei He any real power and only retained the position Fei He held when he was with his scumbag father, Liang Chongyue still gave him all the rights he should have.

The shining black clothes and robes, the exquisite silver-rimmed mask, and the order from the Square Platform, once they went out, represented her will, which was already enough to be decent and glorious.

Looking at Fei He's leaving back, Liang Chongyue sat up straight and began to review the memorials.

The boring daily routine repeated itself day after day. When Liang Chongyue was reviewing memorials, he saw a memorial requesting to return to Beijing. It was another ten-year period that had expired and he was preparing to return to Beijing to report on his work.

I wonder if these people will regret sending the memorial back to the capital in such a hurry once the news of Luo Yuwei's fate spreads out of the capital.

"Come back to work after the puppy has finished eating. Investigate this person thoroughly, especially those who are corrupt and do evil things. I want to know everything."

The system was licking the food bowl on the side. The food in the host palace was finally normal. It no longer had to run to the Queen Mother's Palace early in the morning to get a free meal. It still tasted better to eat at home.

"I know. I'll be right there."

The system reluctantly licked the last grain of rice in the bowl, let Sister Iris wipe its mouth clean, and then walked towards the host with its tail wagging.

"Ask this system to see who the unlucky guy is this time."

Liang Chongyue was amused by the system's funny voice and handed over the memorial in his hand.

Liang Chongyue watched the system use its rough claws to flip through the contents of the memorial bit by bit. After looking at it for a while, he began to continue reviewing the memorial.

By the time she finished reviewing the memorial, the system was also done.

"Host, this is that person's information. He is even more greedy than Luo Yuwei, but he is timid. He hasn't done many harmful things, but he always instructs others to do them."

Listening to the system is better than listening to it alone.

The panel in front of Liang Chongyue opened. This time the system had enough time to prepare, and all those beastly things were marked with a red background. All the money involved in corruption was changed to bright gold by the system.

Liang Chongyue flipped through the pages and found that most of them were within her expectations.

"Print it out and give it to Fei He later to handle."

Liang Chongyue didn't want to bother with these things anymore, Feihe could handle them very well.

After reviewing the memorials, Liang Chongyue stood up and walked outside, ready to see Minglang and see what the child was doing.

"Your Majesty, would you like to prepare a sedan chair?"

"No need, I'll go over there."

Liang Chongyue's waist was sore after sitting for too long. Along the way, because spring had arrived, she could smell the fragrance of various flowers from time to time.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has taken the little prince to the Imperial Garden."

Before Liang Chongyue reached the Cining Palace, Eunuch Li Jin saw her coming and hurried out to greet her.

Liang Chongyue looked back at the Imperial Garden. Although many flowers were blooming now, wasn't his mother's backyard more interesting than the Imperial Garden?

"How long has the Queen Mother been away with Minglang?"

"Your Majesty, less than two quarters of an hour."

Liang Chongyue heard this and turned to walk towards the Imperial Garden. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Li Jin:

"I will stay in Cining Palace for dinner today."

Eunuch Li Jin responded with a smile. Liang Chongyue didn't turn around and didn't see the wrinkles on his face.

When they arrived at the Imperial Garden, Liang Chongyue heard Minglang's laughter and He Yanting's voice from afar.

Liang Chongyue was standing behind a short tree. Minglang didn't notice her coming and was stumbling towards He Yanting. There was a mat under her feet and many palace maids were protecting her.

Liang Chongyue had never heard that He Yanting had accompanied Minglang before, but this child was not shy.

Liang Chongyue stood there and watched for a while. From a distance, he saw that Minglang's forehead was covered with sweat. Then he walked out from behind the bush and walked straight towards Minglang.

"Minglang, look who's here?"

Just as Liang Chongyue walked behind Minglang, her mother's voice sounded from beside her. Liang Chongyue smiled and looked at her mother, knowing that her mother was worried that she would suddenly pick up Minglang from behind like last time and scare her again.
