After dressing as a villain's ex-wife, she went crazy for whitewashing

Not long after leaving the imperial study, the mother from the empress dowager's palace came.

"It happened to be in time. The queen mother knew that the prince and concubine were entering the palace, so she specially sent servants to call them. The queen mother prepared dinner in the palace, waiting for the prince and concubine to join them."

The queen mother's words cannot be refuted.

When the two arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace, sure enough, ten kinds of exquisite dishes had already been set up in the hall.

"Since you're here, let's do it quickly, you don't need to perform those empty salutes." The queen mother said, stopping the two who wanted to salute.

Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng looked at each other, and sat down obediently.

The Empress Dowager pulled Lu Xiyue over in a poor manner, sat beside her, and asked with a smile: "Talk to Ai's family about the academy, what's going on."

"Has it actually been passed on to the Empress Dowager?" Lu Xiyue showed surprise, and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal..."

She said it word by word.

The queen mother picked up a piece of vegetable for her, her kind eyebrows were slightly frowned, she couldn't see any emotional fluctuations, she just said indifferently: "Why is Lao Qi also involved?"

Lu Xiyue was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Xiao Yunheng took over the conversation in time, and replied: "That's right, His Royal Highness Duan has taken a fancy to a teacher from the academy, and His Majesty also knows about this."

The queen mother was startled, and her usual calm voice could not help raising her voice a little: "I have taken a fancy to the gentleman of the academy!"

The emperor still knows!

Xiao Yunheng nodded.

The Empress Dowager's expression changed unpredictably, and it took a long time to find her own voice: "This Prince Duan is too outrageous."

Lu Xiyue pursed her lips.

It seems that Duan Wang has never been "like words" to the outside world.

She lowered her head to eat the food, her gaze swept across the hall, and her mind was floating.

She originally thought that Yao Xinyu would be there too.

I don't know what Emperor Hui and the Queen Mother will do with Yao Xinyu and the child in her womb. After all, they are also heirs of the prince.

At the same time, in the side hall, looking at the bright lights in the direction of the main hall, Yao Xinyu fiddled with the candlelight on the window sill twice to call for Langsheng.

"King Ning and the others have arrived?"

Lang Sheng glanced at the direction of the main hall, nodded: "It's been a while, I guess it's for King Guangping's business."

Hearing the name of King Guangping, Yao Xinyu couldn't help but sneered: "I have been away from the capital for a long time, and I will attack King Ning as soon as I come back. This King Guangping is really stupid."

She was so stupid that she found it troublesome to do it herself.

But this trouble can't be avoided.

Lang Sheng curled his lips: "Isn't it stupid? The third prince is like that, and he still wants to help people make a comeback. With this skill, why not think about how to say a few words in front of His Majesty and earn two points for yourself .”

Who doesn't know about the old affairs between King Guangping and His Majesty.

"It's because he can't make money that he counts on Ji Wuhen. You go tell your father and let him do it. You can't keep this person."

No matter how stupid something is, if it blocks your way, you will still have to get rid of it after all.

Lang Sheng agreed, and Ma slipped down.

As night fell, Lu Xiyue and Xiao Yunheng left the palace gate under the escort of the palace staff.

The carriage was stable, and there was the sound of cicadas singing outside the window. Lu Xiyue leaned on Xiao Yunheng's shoulder, and said softly, "King Guangping is going to be in trouble, it seems that the Queen Mother and the Emperor will not let him go easily."

There is also Yao Xinyu.

"Well, he can't escape."

……

Early the next morning, there was a letter from the censor to impeach King Guangping.

In addition to what happened yesterday, there is another old thing, which is related to the old thing of Prince Guangping.

The fiefdom of King Guangping is close to the northern border. In the area of ​​North Gyeongsang, the place is already desolate. However, the son of King Guangping secretly collected taxes from Gyeongbuk, which caused the people to suffer from hunger and suffering for many years.

The ministers in the hall were in an uproar when they heard the words.

King Guangping was even more furious, pointing at the censor and cursing: "Nonsense, there is nothing at all!"

Yu Shi sneered, took out an account book from his wide cuff and presented it.

"Whether there is one or not, you will know when His Majesty reads this ledger."

The censor's confidence made King Guangping a little uneasy. He only did the taxation of the family a few years ago, and after he got out of the Duke's mansion, he was afraid of following in the footsteps of the Duke's mansion. Immediately restrained and changed back to the original tax price.

Could it be that this old thing really preserved the evidence.

Thinking of this, King Guangping couldn't help sweating from his palms, completely ignoring what the imperial censor said just now.

He was talking about Prince Quang Binh, not him.

But whoever it is, the result is the same. In short, such a crime will implicate the clan.

Emperor Hui finished reading the memorial with a sullen face, and cast a gloomy look at King Guangping, and suddenly slapped the memorial on the cold table, and said sharply, "King Guangping, how do you explain it?"

At this point, all the ministers understood, and their expressions towards King Guangping suddenly changed.

King Guangping panicked, and immediately knelt down: "Brother Huang, I have never done such a thing. This ledger, this ledger must be fake!"

The censor sneered: "The account book is fake, and the big seal on it can't be fake, right? This account book clearly records the tax minus the part that should be paid, and the rest goes into the pocket of the palace."

Speaking of righteous indignation, Yu Shi raised his hand to Emperor Hui and said, "Your Majesty, King Guangping's behavior of oppressing the poor people is really abominable. If your majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the Qingbei area for a little inquiry, and you will know the truth." The thing is true."

"Yeah, what Luo Yushi said is right, if it's true or not, you can find out if you check."

"King Guangping was very ambitious when he granted the fief, and he was naturally unwilling to be assigned to Qingbei. The place was poor and desolate, so it's no wonder that he would do such a thing."

Listening to the discussions around him, King Quang Binh felt as if his heart was falling into an ice cellar.

Emperor Hui looked at King Guangping who was buried in silence, and he already had calculations in his heart.

But everything is about evidence.

"Come here, put the entire Guangping King's Mansion into a dungeon and wait for interrogation. Where are the ministers of Dali Temple and the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

The minister of Dali Temple and the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately stood up, "My minister is here."

"Go to Gyeongbuk yourself, and make sure to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Yes." The two were shocked.

King Guangping listened, his legs softened, and he almost fell headlong.

It's over, it's really over this time.

As the servants shouted "retire from the court," King Guangping was quickly taken down by the Habayashi Army. At the same time, another group of troops also went to the palace of Guangping Prince in a mighty manner.

Everything seemed to happen in an instant.

The people after the imperial court dispersed looked at the King Guangping who had been taken away from a distance, and they felt infinite sighs in their hearts. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that King Guangping had offended His Majesty, and that's why he ended up like this.

If it were someone else, they would at most be under house arrest in their own mansion, waiting for the results of the investigation to be announced.

As for who made the report, the ministers kept guessing.

There are two people on the left and right, King Ning, the prince, or His Majesty's own people.
