Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

"Princess, we have found out that the person helping the Duan family transport gold and silver is the Transverse Escort Bureau. An Lanjian has already led people to capture the leader."

Yiman nodded, "This matter should be handed over to the people in the prince's palace, and it is most appropriate for the prince and brother to catch it."

"Yes, the servant understands."

Yiman put down the book and said, "These days, I haven't even asked how the escort agency in Beijing is doing. Is Xiaowu still busy?"

Lu Bo smiled and nodded, "I'm so busy that I'm happy. Because of An Lanjian's reputation, many heroes came to the escort agency."

Yiman nodded, "Use those who can train them to be bodyguards. If you can't, give them some money and treat them well. You can make friends with them."

"That's it, don't worry princess."

Duanfu
Duan Ruhai looked aggrieved, kneeling in the middle of Master Duan's study, looking up from time to time to look at Master Duan's face.

"Dad, I have been kneeling for an hour and my knees hurt."

"Bastard—"

Master Duan, who had already taken a breath, roared angrily, and his eyebrows flew wildly.

"You don't mind being ridiculous on your own on weekdays, but you still dare to lead His Highness to be ridiculous? You haven't caught the peeping thief yet, you are really——"

"Dad, I finally got the top spot in the exam. Didn't those girls promise me a long time ago?"

Hearing this, Mr. Duan became even more angry. He stood up from behind the desk, pointed at Duan Ruhai's nose and cursed, "Do you think you will be great if you get the No. [-] Scholar? The Xie family, the Cui family, the Zhou family, who among these people can't get the No. [-] scholar? They It’s because I understand better than you that I don’t take the top exam. If you try your best and still fail to pass the exam, the Duan family’s food for so many years will be in vain.”

Duan Ruhai said nothing, but his face was still unconvinced.

"Dad, with the power of our Duan family, what do those rumors outside mean? Just arrest the two leaders. There is also the seventh prince, who will definitely not be able to affect him in the palace."

Master Duan took a few steps and Douda slapped Duan Ruhai on the face.

Duan Ruhai, who had been spoiled since childhood, was immediately confused.

"You, you bastard. Needless to say, the children of other families can see the current situation clearly. But you are rushing to cause trouble at this time, and you have also implicated the seventh prince. Now the public opinion is boiling, and the seventh prince can no longer leave the palace. Even the household department is secretly checking the accounts, you are trying to kill the Duan family."

Duan Ruhai didn't expect such a big fuss, and he panicked for a moment, "What should I do? Will it affect my official career, and the seventh prince's claim to be the legitimate heir?"

"Nie Zi, if you still dare to say it, go back to your room and don't come out. The Duan family is ruined for raising a loser like you. Get out - "

Seeing Duan Ruhai crawling out of the study, Mr. Duan patted his heart and sighed.

"Come in."

When the master heard Master Duan's voice, he bent down and walked in.

"I heard that the prince's health has improved recently?"

"Yes, Imperial Physician Qin didn't feel the pulse, but he looks much better."

Master Duan closed his eyes and sighed, "Tell Concubine De that you should start from the root of everything."

"Yes."

The back hill of Qingcai Academy
The prince was sitting in the carriage, saw the approaching figure, and lowered the curtain.

"Grassmen see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince coughed twice, "What a coincidence, I met Mr. Zhou at Qingcai Academy."

"Yes, I heard that the Qingcai Academy opened a new garden this year, providing students from poor families in the top three with the opportunity to do doctorates in various academies in Beijing. It was proposed by His Highness the Crown Prince. The common people have not seen it, so they came to take a look."

The prince glanced at Zhou Yu who was in the gap between the curtains, with an expressionless expression on his face, "Young Master Zhou doesn't come to the court, but does he still care about students from poor families?"

"Students from poor families are the future of the imperial court and Daling. Zhou Yu should be concerned about them."

"Zhou Yu, they are all the pillars of Daling in the future. They cannot become pawns in the fight between aristocratic families." "Yes, ordinary people understand."

The prince also accidentally saw that Zhou Yu and a scholar from a poor family interacted as equals regardless of their status.

Even though the academy disciples knew his identity and treated him as if they were old shoes, he still looked calm and showed no embarrassment.

The children of the aristocratic family have been living in the clouds since they were young. They don't know the sufferings of the people. They can pretend for a while, but they cannot pretend for the rest of their lives.

"Now the Ministry of Revenue is already checking the accounts, and people outside the palace have begun to attack the Duan family. What are Mr. Zhou going to do?"

Zhou Yu said with a slight smile, "The common people are not prepared."

The prince slowly opened the curtain, looked at Zhou Yu and smiled slightly, "Does Mr. Zhou know how to look?"

East Palace
The prince came back from the night and looked at Yiman who was lighting up the lamp for a night battle. He stopped and looked at her for a while with a smile on his face before sitting across from her.

"The inner palace will be locked soon."

Yiman frowned, lowered his head, and fully devoted himself to the account book in front of him.He scratched his head with the penholder and responded casually.

Hanzhi is usually in charge of the accounting transactions. I didn't expect these things to be so trivial and related to each other. It's a headache to see the numbers one by one.

Seeing the teacup handed over by the prince, Yiman suddenly raised his head and said, "Brother, you are back."

"Are you going to sleep in the prince's womb tonight?"

Yiman recalled the question just now, "Cheng Youping went back to the palace pretending to be me. After I read this, I went to my sister-in-law's place to squeeze in. You don't have to worry about me."

The prince flipped through the account book, "Do you know why I asked you to see the accounts of the Seventh Prince collected by the Ministry of Accounts?"

Yiman put down his pen and said, "Of course the court officials are keeping an eye on the Duan family's affairs, probably to help me understand the government affairs and daily procedures of the Ministry of Revenue."

"Then you still read the account books carefully?"

Yiman sighed, "I want to look inside to see if there is any direct evidence that can directly bring down the Seventh Prince. I don't believe there is any problem with the Seventh Prince's accounts."

The prince put his hand directly on the account book, "There will be no problem with the accounts on the seventh prince's side."

"how do you know?"

"The Seventh Prince is regarded very highly by Concubine De. He will not let the Seventh Prince touch unclean things."

"What about the Seventh Prince himself? He is a man who is not as good as a weak crown. He must not have selfish desires. Didn't he hide anything about Concubine De?"

The prince paused and sighed slightly, "Old Qi, I have no feelings."

Yiman looked at the prince in confusion.

"I didn't want to tell you, Lao Qi, everything is indistinguishable to him, and nothing can touch him. Precisely because he doesn't resist anything, he is the pride and pride in the eyes of his father and Concubine De. A prince who agrees."

He snorted in disbelief, "Brother, how do you know? How can someone have no feelings? Doesn't he feel nothing about insults?"

The prince nodded, "Yes, even if he is asked to go to Guoli Palace now, he will leave calmly. This is not the emotional stability brought about by nourishing qi, it is his nature."

"how can that be?"

As soon as Yiman finished speaking, he remembered seeing it in a book.People who are homicidal have no understanding of human emotions, cannot feel any warmth of family affection, and have no pain in their hearts. This cannot be changed by learning.

Is this the seventh prince's character?

The prince said calmly: "When he first entered the Chongwen Pavilion, he took a snake and played with it in his hand, which shocked the princes. When my father found out, he scolded him sharply. That was my first time in the Chongwen Pavilion. There was confusion and confusion in his eyes. He didn't know the sadness and fear caused by the scolding. Later I also tested it and found that he really couldn't feel emotions."

Yiman asked doubtfully: "Then - is he right to seize the legitimate son?"
