The beauty of the lady

Chapter 342 The Mysterious Man (3)
This point has always puzzled him.

Ji Heng waited until late at night, but did not wait for Ye Que to come back, so she couldn't help but worry, wondering if something happened.

Just like that, he closed his eyes in a drowsy manner, but at some point, he heard a creaking sound, which made him open his eyes in a jerk.

Seeing a man in black clothes come in, Ji Heng almost jumped up in fright with the hideous black mask on his face.

"Not asleep yet?" Following the familiar voice, the mask followed.

When Ji Heng saw that familiar face, he came back to his senses.

"Is there any reliable news?"

"No!" Ye Que shook his head, and when he walked to the next compartment, he took out a booklet from his pocket and put it on the table, "I found this."

Then I went to change clothes in the inner room of the nearest compartment.

Ji Heng picked it up and looked at it carefully, and finally took a deep breath. This is an account book. To put it bluntly, it is a bribery account that is enough to cause disasters.

And there were a few sensitive names in it, which made Ji Heng narrow his eyes gloomyly.

Seeing the final ledger again, two drops of cold sweat rolled down his forehead: "2000 million taels?"

As soon as Ye Que came out, he hurriedly asked, "Who got all this money?"

"If there is a black hand behind the scenes, who else can there be?"

"But there are seven out of ten vassal princes of the Ye family here. Who is the real mastermind behind the scenes?"

Ye Que smiled and said: "Did you see something that surprised you, so that you couldn't think it through? Naturally, the person who is the most proud is the mastermind behind the scenes. This account book is placed in the secret room of Xing Yiming's room. It can be preserved like this. It must be very meaningful, how are you going to do it?"

"But why is the Ji family implicated? The Ji family is in the capital. Before I became an official, I was just an ordinary businessman. I don't need the Lin family in Jiangnan, nor can I compare with the Su family in Jiangbei. There are countless rich merchants, when exactly did they drag the Ji family into trouble?"

It actually has his father's name in it, what's going on?

It has been nearly half a month since her son left home, and Zhou Mei doesn't do other things every day, most of the time is spent in the study looking at the palace's account books or copying scriptures to pray for her son.

Ye Yu was also afraid of his wife's wild thoughts, so she thought that although her daughter was young, she could start preparing for the construction of the Princess Mansion for her.

Zhou Mei thought that there was nothing else to do anyway, since Ye Yu proposed it, as her daughter, she naturally wanted to build the princess mansion, but she didn't think about letting Ye Yu withdraw from the treasury, anyway, it was still under her own name. There are many shops and a lot of money in hand, so I talked to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households.

Who would have thought that it was Gu Lun who objected, what she meant was that her brother hadn't come back yet, and she would live in the palace for a long time, and she didn't want to move out.

Originally, because nearly [-] people in Yingzhou Mansion were killed overnight, the capital was still full of turmoil among the civil and military officials, and then the emperor was about to build a princess mansion for the princess. Some officials murmured in their hearts, especially a few people from Yushitai. Later, two adults from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry said that the construction of the Princess Mansion did not use a copper plate from the treasury, but all of them were dowry from the empress. Only then did she shut her mouth, and then said that the empress was sympathetic to the people, wise and generous, even if she was a royal princess, she would not let her lose the foundation of the country, which made Zhou Mei dumbfounded when she found out.

She didn't think too much about it, she just thought that anyway, she had saved 70 million taels of silver around these years, and she just put it away, so she might as well use the money to build a princess mansion for her daughter. With it, who would have thought it would be wrong, but that's okay.

It was late at night, and she was still reading in the study. Gu Lun had already rested. Since her son left, she would only rest every night unless she was so sleepy that she could fall asleep with her eyes closed. Otherwise, even if she lay down It's just nonsense.

The door of the study was pushed open, and when Ye Zhen came in, he saw his wife was reading a book under the palace lantern, fascinated.

Raising his hand and waving, Liao Fan stepped forward to refill the ice cubes, and then quietly retreated out.

"Meier, are you still resting?" He walked to her side, stood and asked, "It's already midnight."

She raised her head and glanced at him, then leaned her head sideways on her abdomen, "I can't sleep, and when I close my eyes, I start thinking wildly, and I'm always afraid that something will happen to me."

"Don't think too much, with Ye Que by his side, and the imperial guards brought by the palace, ordinary people can't hurt him."

"It's not ordinary people who can kill so many people overnight." She murmured.

"Ye Que is a very clear-headed person. He won't let Piao'er get into trouble, but you, who rest very late every day, don't wait until Piao'er comes back, but you are sick."

"I know." Just knowing is one thing, being able to do it is another.

There was nothing to say all night, and on the second day, Mrs. Zhao handed over the sign and brought Ye Wanning into the palace.

"Mother, are you here to ask about Zhou Tang?"

"I'm worried about your majesty. Since His Royal Highness is not around, I'm afraid you will be thinking wildly all day long." Zhao said worriedly.

Zhou Mei chuckled, "It must be the emperor who let the mother into the palace, right? Next month is the imperial examination, is Zhou Tang well-prepared?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Brother Zhou has worked very hard in the house, and he will definitely be able to pass high school this time."

She nodded lightly. Whether she can go to high school or not has nothing to do with whether she works hard or not. If it is said this way, as long as you work hard, you can go to high school. Isn't it true that there are officials everywhere in the world?
She sat sideways on the brocade couch, her face flushed a little, "When it's hot today, I feel uncomfortable all over my body, and it's true, mother, I still come to the palace in such a hot day."

"I'm also worried about my mother, how can I rest assured that His Highness is not around?"

"Hey, I can't worry about it. I went out anyway, and he decided on his own. Besides, it's hard for me. But, as the prince, I also have unshirkable responsibilities, as long as he can come back safely." It's not easy to be a human being, especially in the Emperor's House.

Born with the mission of taking the world as his mission, those who are foolish and wise will feel exhausted just thinking about it.

"It's really boring all day long. When I'm free, I still think about what I'm doing, and I'm too lazy to have a good time at the banquet. Mom, I think I'm going to be moldy."

Seeing her daughter's loss of composure, Mrs. Zhao couldn't hold back her face anymore, she couldn't hold back her smile and said: "You, you are already the mother of two children, why are you still so ungrateful, let the emperor see it What should I do?"

"No matter how bad the sitting posture is, he has seen it. What are you afraid of? There are no outsiders here, but Wanning has no body yet?"
