But they had no evidence to prove that Feng Chenyi did it, so Emperor Xing'an suppressed the memorial.

On the night of the impeachment, those ministers saw ghosts. The people they saw were all people they were familiar with, those who had been secretly murdered by them, and they even remembered the details of the murder clearly.

Before dawn the next day, the door of Prince Rui's mansion was knocked loudly.

Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi were woken up by the noise. When Zhai Yun arrived at the main hall, she only saw the ministers kneeling at Feng Chenyi's feet and begging for mercy, crying and saying that they would listen to Feng Chenyi in the future.

When Feng Chenyi threw the rest of the evidence of their crimes in front of them, those ministers were completely dumbfounded. They kowtowed to Feng Chenyi repeatedly and promised to serve him like slaves in the future.

Their former arrogance has completely disappeared.

After the ministers left, Zhai Yun, leaning against the door frame, smiled softly. "It seems all these years of netting have paid off. Not only have I made a lot of money, but the information I've collected also includes leverage over these ministers. I can finally shut them up."

Feng Chenyi saw Zhai Yun and walked over briskly, "It's a good thing you reminded me."

Zhai Yun could tell that Feng Chenyi was in a good mood. Zhai Yun's face turned worried. "It seems that I have to carefully review the information coming in from all over the country in the future."

This time I almost missed this information, but fortunately all the information I received was classified and saved.

Now that I'm back in the imperial capital, I really can't be as lazy as before.

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun's worried expression and gently stroked her ears with his fingertips. "From now on, just let others do these things. I will arrange it."

When Feng Chenyi came back from the morning court today, he was finally no longer frowning like he was in the past few days. As soon as he came back, he went to find Zhai Yun, who was looking at the account book of the mansion's recent expenditures made by the new accountant.

The thousand taels of gold that Xing'an had rewarded her with had been used up. Although Zhai Yun was not short of money, she still held back her curses: "Your father is too stingy. The thousand taels of gold haven't been used up yet, and it's already gone."

Feng Chenyi turned his head and looked at the expenses. "My monthly salary should be coming soon."

When Zhai Yun heard about the monthly salary, her eyes sparkled, "How much is it?"

"A few dozen taels." Feng Chenyi answered seriously.

Zhai Yun's heart instantly sank to the bottom, "Brother Yi, do you know how much the Rui Palace costs per month?"

Feng Chenyi shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and Zhai Yun raised three fingers.

Feng Chenyi guessed: "Three thousand taels?"

"That's not necessary," Zhai Yun explained. "This month, we hired maids and servants, some of whom signed indentures. We also bought furniture, had a few sets of clothes made for everyone, tended the garden, and gave out a lot of silver as rewards, so we spent a bit too much. From now on, a fixed monthly expenditure of 300 taels will be more than enough."

After hearing this, Feng Chenyi smiled bitterly and said, "It seems I have to work harder." His monthly salary was not enough to support everyone in the palace.

After hearing this, Zhai Yun took Feng Chenyi to his wardrobe. Feng Chenyi's wardrobe was filled to the brim with clothes. Zhai Yun said proudly, "All of them were custom-made at Su Xiu Pavilion. Each piece is worth a fortune."

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun in surprise, and looked her up and down. "What about yours?"

Zhai Yun waved her hand and said, "As a guard, it would be easy to arouse suspicion if I were to dress so well. But for Miss Xia, I also made two custom-made suits for her to attend occasions."

If I need to go to her place again, I don’t have to make clothes now.

Zhai Yun spoke slowly and straightened out the uneven spots in the wardrobe again. Everything in Feng Chenyi's house was bought by her one by one.

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun with a hint of heartache in his eyes, "It's been so long since you came back to the capital, you haven't gone out for a good stroll yet!"

Feng Chenyi's reminder reminded Zhai Yun that they had been cooped up in the mansion for a while. Zhai Yun couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yi, do you want to go out for a walk?"

Feng Chenyi looked at Zhai Yun with a doting look on his face, "Let's go!"

When Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi were leaving, they ran into Xia Lanyan. Xia Lanyan was startled at first when she saw Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi, and then she couldn't help asking, "Are the prince and Guard Zhai leaving the palace?"

The moment Feng Chenyi saw Xia Lanyan, his eyes, which had been filled with tenderness, returned to indifference, and he said coldly: "I have something important to do."

Xia Lanyan looked at Feng Chenyi with a sense of grievance, "What is the matter, Your Majesty? Can I help you?"

Since returning to the palace, Zhai Yun and the prince seemed to have endless things to do. They were together every day, and Xia Lanyan had only been able to see the prince a few times.

Xia Lanyan wished she could be like Zhai Yun and help the prince solve his problems.

"I'm in a hurry to go out now. I'll notify you if there's anything." After Feng Chenyi said this, he pulled Zhai Yun out of the mansion.

Xia Lanyan, who was standing behind them, saw the two of them leaving hand in hand, and her eyes were filled with indescribable emotion.

After taking a few steps, Zhai Yun pulled her hand away for fear of being seen by the maids and servants. Feng Chenyi stopped and waited for Zhai Yun to catch up, and the two walked out of Prince Rui's Mansion side by side.

In her previous life, Zhai Yun had always been in the palace and had never left, so this was her first time strolling through the bustling streets of the imperial capital of Fengli Kingdom. The streets were bustling with people.

There were all kinds of strange gadgets displayed on the street. Although Zhai Yun had seen these things in other places, it was her first time walking on the busy street with Feng Chenyi. Zhai Yun couldn't help but look left and right, wanting to introduce these strange gadgets to Feng Chenyi.

He probably doesn't have many opportunities to stroll around this bustling street.

Seeing the juggling troupe, Zhai Yun pulled Feng Chenyi to the front and said, "Brother Yi, look at that monkey. It's so obedient and walks so steadily."

Feng Chenyi watched the acrobatics, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes full of smiles.

This was their first time to go shopping properly. They had never had so much free time before. Everything in front of them became very new in the eyes of Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi, and everything seemed like a dream.

The bustling streets, the lively crowds, she and he were carefree, smiling happily, just like ordinary brother and sister, immersed in this prosperity.

Fluffy flowers gradually desire charming eyes.

After watching the acrobatics, Zhai Yun bought Feng Chenyi a string of candied haws. "This is what children like to eat the most. It's sour and sweet. Come and try it."

When they were young, they didn't have the chance to walk on the street together and eat candied haws, so now they are making up for the regrets of their childhood.

Feng Chenyi took a light bite hesitantly, while Zhai Yun ate the whole thing in big mouthfuls. They both held up the candied haws and smiled at each other, as if they were back in their childhood and had made up for all their regrets.

In the evening, Zhai Yun and Feng Chenyi stood on the top of the highest mountain in Fengli Kingdom, drinking wine and looking at the lights and fireworks of thousands of homes below the mountain.

The moment the fireworks exploded in the sky, they were colorful and brilliant.

"We are finally back and have our own home here." Zhai Yun sighed as she looked at the brilliant fireworks.
