Quick transmigration to punish scumbags, have a child to inherit everything from them

The Crown Prince had just returned to the Eastern Palace. Before the little maid Zhao Yunmin had even spoken to the Crown Prince, Xiao Lizi walked up to him first and said with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, there is news about the matter you asked me to investigate before."

The crown prince raised an eyebrow, his eyes flashed, and then, while taking a sip of tea from the teacup handed to him by the maid, he said indifferently.

"You all go down first, Little Li stays."

The maidservant arranged by Zhao Yunmin was a little anxious, but she dared not disobey the Crown Prince's orders and could only retreat first.

I thought Aunt Yunmin was easy to get along with, and probably wouldn't blame her.

After everyone else had left, Li Zi bowed and stepped forward, presenting the Crown Prince with a secret letter hidden in his sleeve.

"Your Highness, I am from the same hometown as Consort Liang, so it went very smoothly when I sent people to investigate. The news came that Consort Liang's parents had already passed away."

However, the exact reason for her death has not been investigated due to the passage of time. Those who knew her family back then all assumed that the three of them had died in an accident and had no idea why Consort Liang entered the palace.

The news revealed that Liang Cai Ren's mother had lived in the capital and even had connections with high-ranking officials there, though it was unclear who those officials were.

It might be related to the current prime minister, who is also the crown princess's father, but this is just speculation; there is no concrete evidence.

As Xiao Li Zi spoke, the Crown Prince took the secret letter, opened it, and read it. The contents were more detailed, but almost identical to what Xiao Li Zi had described.

Seeing that the Crown Princess hadn't done anything to Liang Qiuli during this time, the Crown Prince thought he was overthinking things. It seems there really were a lot going on behind the scenes.

After recounting the news from outside the palace, Xiao Li Zi began to talk about some things that happened after Consort Liang entered the palace.

"Judging from the list of palace maids who entered the palace, Consort Liang entered the palace according to the normal procedure for selecting palace maids that year, and there was also a nanny who took good care of Consort Liang."

However, not long after entering the palace, the old nanny was beaten to death for some reason. Liang Cairen, being young at the time, was transferred to Qingyun Palace as a cleaning maid, where she remained until early last year when the Eastern Palace selected maids, and she was assigned to the Dongji Hall.

The Crown Prince looked at the booklet and saw that Liang Qiuli entered the palace in the tenth year of Deyuan. He did a quick calculation and realized that he was seven years old that year and was still in the Cold Palace. It seemed that he met Amin in that same year.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and he has found Amin.

As for Li'er, he will protect her too.

"Your Highness, shall we continue the investigation?"

Xiao Li asked tentatively, unsure of the Crown Prince's true attitude towards the Crown Princess. Would he really hold the Crown Princess accountable for Consort Liang?

"Continue the investigation. I need to know the reason why Liang Qiuli's parents were murdered, and also who Liang Qiuli's mother offended in the capital back then. Start with the Prime Minister's residence."

The Crown Prince had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, but some things required solid evidence to use as leverage against the Crown Princess or...

"Yes, Your Highness, I have recently noticed that Yunxiu from the Crown Princess's palace has visited Feng Fu several times."

Suddenly remembering something, Little Li quickly added.

It seems that Feng Fu cannot be allowed to live, but it's impossible to fall out with the Crown Princess over this, so we can't go too far.

Moreover, there are some things that should be handed over to Little Li, otherwise his Eastern Palace is practically riddled with holes, and anyone could leak information out.

The crown prince's wish could never be fulfilled, because unbeknownst to him, Little Li had long since become disloyal to him.

"Go and call Feng Fu in, and tell him that I have something to say."

The crown prince gave the order indifferently, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

"Yes."

Feng Fu hadn't gone far when he heard the Crown Prince's summons, so he immediately ran over.

He even glanced at Little Li with disdain, feeling smug. Although His Highness had been cold towards him these past few days, he still trusted him more.

But as soon as he stepped across the threshold, he felt a chill rush towards him, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Feng Fu, no longer excited, bent down and asked cautiously.

"Feng Fu, you've been serving me for quite a few years now. You should know what you should and shouldn't do, right?"

Although the Crown Prince would not explicitly state that Feng Fu and the Crown Princess were colluding, he would still issue a warning in his words. Moreover, he would need to find a legitimate reason to let Xiao Li take over the position of chief steward by his side.

Feng Fuxin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that His Highness had discovered something? But he had always been very careful whenever Yunxiu came, and he had not revealed any important information about the Crown Prince to the Crown Princess.

However, it's just about Consort Liang and Zhao Yunmin's recent interactions with His Highness the Crown Prince. These are all matters concerning the women of the harem. Surely the Crown Prince wouldn't be so concerned.

"This servant does not know, please enlighten me, Your Highness."

Feng Fu knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily, pressing his forehead against the cold floor tiles, not daring to get up.

He was filled with anxiety. If His Highness the Crown Prince really knew something, his life would be in danger. He didn't know if the Crown Princess could save his life.

"Take a look at the tea in the East Pole Hall. Is it any different from usual?"

Seeing Feng Fu's appearance, the Crown Prince had no doubts left. He casually threw his teacup away and continued speaking.

"If you, the chief steward of the Eastern Palace, can't even handle such a small matter as aged tea from the previous year, then you shouldn't be sitting in this position."

From now on, you'll be handling all your affairs with Xiao Li; he'll be the new head steward of the Crown Prince's Palace.

When Feng Fu heard that it was about tea, he breathed a sigh of relief, since it wasn't about the Crown Princess. However, when he heard that the Crown Prince wanted to dismiss him, he panicked completely.

Without this position, not only would he be no longer the crown prince, but he would also suffer under the tutelage of those below him. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily until his forehead bled.

"Your Highness, spare my life! I will do my utmost from now on. Please do not remove me from my position."

The Crown Prince had already given Feng Fu a chance, so his pleading now would not soften his heart, he said coldly.

"Little Li, drag him away."

Feng Fu had always treated him badly in the past, so naturally he wasn't going to let him off the hook now. He had someone grab him by the hair and drag him out.

After all these matters were concluded, the maid who had been guarding outside timidly entered.

"Your Highness, I have something to report."

She clutched the hem of her dress, worried that the Crown Prince would punish her as well in his anger.

"What's the matter?"

The crown prince's voice was cold, clearly indicating his displeasure.

The maidservant trembled with fright, but she still mustered her courage and whispered.

"Your Highness, it's...it's about Aunt Yunmin. Not long ago, Aunt Yunmin was...was summoned away by people from Yun Pavilion."

Actually, Aunt Yunmin wanted to go herself, but the little maid was coerced by her, so she spoke according to her instructions.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince's mood darkened further. What could Liang Qiuli possibly want from Amin? She shouldn't be the type to make things difficult for people.

But if it weren't for Liang Qiuli, why would the people from Yunge come looking for Amin?

"Guards, prepare the carriage for the Cloud Pavilion."

The Crown Prince stood up and decided to go to Yunge Pavilion in person.

The little maid watched the prince's retreating figure and, seeing that Aunt Yunmin had completed her task, breathed a sigh of relief. However, she wouldn't be able to relax for long before she was about to be punished.
