The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

"Did he say what was recorded on it?" Huo Yunhong asked angrily.

"Every time the official salt was brought to Kyoto, he kept a record of the quantity on the one or two ships he smuggled. I'm afraid he had long had an evil intention to guard against His Highness, so he had this account book so that he could use it as a handle in the future. Blackmailing His Highness."

"How dare Xu Zheng, an old thief, act so boldly!"

Huo Yunhong's face was as frosty as he cursed angrily.

"Your Highness, calm down. He just came to report now. I'm afraid the account book has not been recovered, so he wants us to help him."

"If he can find the things he threw in his own house, what do I do? If the matter is exposed in the future, the worst I can do is to say that he did it all by himself. He can just get personal and physical evidence to fool him."

Huo Yunhong was so angry that he was ready to destroy everything, but Lu Heng disagreed.

"Your Highness, don't worry. The account book has been stolen for several months, but no one has conducted a detailed investigation on it. It seems to be safe at the moment, but we just don't know who stole the account book? We still need to be mentally prepared."

Lu Heng's face was calm, and there was no trace of panic at all.

"If you go around in such a big circle for me, what does it have to do with the prince?" Huo Yunhong highlighted the key points.

"Don't you understand, Your Highness? Smuggling fine iron and embezzling official salt, these two things together are a serious crime. If it falls on His Highness, wouldn't it be too heavy? You will have to take a back seat!" Lu Heng Smirked a few times.

"Lu Heng, you are really vicious. You asked me to bite the prince and drag him in, making the water muddy. If the account book falls into his hands, he will definitely take it out to testify against me, but so far he has not done so. Any movement, it may mean that the ledger is not in his possession."

"Maybe he hasn't found out about me yet. The prince will not act rashly if he is unsure. If he wants to investigate the matter of Jingtie, it is really possible that the prince did it. Does he want to do these two things? Add it all together to give me a fatal blow and get rid of me completely?"

"Your Highness is wise, so Li Zhong has to stay. Your Majesty is suspicious by nature. As long as the prince deliberately framed you to death, your Majesty will definitely doubt whether he deliberately suppressed you. Your Majesty wants to balance the situation of the court and safeguard For the sake of royal dignity, we will definitely not go into the matter further, and at most we will end the matter with a few words of punishment."

When Huo Yunhong heard what he said, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded approvingly.

Over the years, the prince Huo Yunjing has been secretly competing with him. The prince's biological mother is the queen Wang Ruilian, the daughter of the former grand master Wang Shouzhi. Behind them are the forces of the royal family that have gone through two dynasties.

Wang Shouzhi and the late emperor had a close brotherhood. When the new dynasty was established, the situation in the court was unstable, with frequent attacks from the Qianye Kingdom. The late emperor also went out to fight against the enemy all the year round. The internal strife within the court was avoided by Wang Shouzhi's support.

Emperor Yao also received the support of Wang Shouzhi and was successfully named the prince.When he was still a prince, he married Ruilian, the second queen of the Wang family, as his principal concubine. Later, when Emperor Yao moved into the East Palace, she became the crown princess.Finally, Emperor Yao ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and Wang Ruilian was appointed queen.

Emperor Yao had always been grateful for Wang Shouzhi's kindness to him, so he respected the queen very much and placed great emphasis on the Wang family.Nowadays, Wang Mingqi, the eldest son of the prince, has been named Taifu and serves as the prince's teacher. It can be seen that Emperor Yao attaches great importance to the Wang family.

However, the prince has always been wary of Qian Yeguo behind Huo Yunhong, fearing that he would pose a threat to his position as prince.Over the years, he has been eyeing Huo Yunhong even more openly and secretly. Once he seizes the opportunity, he will immediately attack him and suppress him completely.

The fight between the two was seen by Emperor Yao. As long as he didn't make any big mistakes, he just turned a blind eye. If it didn't work, he would only give a few words of blame. The royal family doesn't have many heirs now. The position of the East Palace cannot be shaken.

In order to take care of the overall situation, Emperor Yao also doted on Concubine Yue and Huo Yunhong, and maintained a superficial peace with Qianye Kingdom.

Huo Yunhong pondered for a long time, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

"But, I always feel that these things don't seem to be done by the prince alone. Do you think the fourth child will also be involved?"

"His Royal Highness is having a hard time just avoiding the Witch Clan's pursuit. His Highness doesn't have to worry about him getting involved for the time being."

Lu Heng's words were conclusive, and Huo Yunhong's expression softened a little.

"There is no best!"

"This time the Wu Clan really went too far and made too much noise. I chose to cooperate with them in order to transport fine iron to the Yueyao Kingdom's waterways and agreed to let their people sneak into Kyoto. Unexpectedly I have chased the fourth child several times since I came here, which is really a headache. You should go and inform them and ask them to calm down."

Huo Yunhong tiredly waved to Lu Heng to signal him to retreat. Lu Heng bowed to him respectfully and then retreated.

He stood at the door and looked up at the starry sky, with a deep smile on his face.

Kyoto has been quiet for too long, and it's time to stir up some waves.

After the conversation, Huo Yunhong paced back and forth in the study. Everything that happened recently seemed to be directed at him.

He still suspected that the prince was not responsible for these things, so he summoned his men.

"Send someone to keep an eye on the fourth child. I always think there is something wrong with him."

"But His Majesty has not paid special attention to His Highness the Fourth Prince in recent years, so he has only allowed him to do casual tasks such as suppressing bandits. Is Your Highness worried too much?"

"You still have to be careful, otherwise all the hard work over the years may be in vain if you are not careful."

Huo Yunhong said seriously.

"My subordinates know this and will do it now."

In the deep night, Ye Yushan was lying on the bed in Yu Ning Palace, wearing a light gauze dress.She stretched out her slender hands to tidy up the long hair scattered on her chest.

The moonlight was like silver, falling on her body and outlining her voluptuous curves.Ye Yushan moved her slender legs lightly, and her gauze slipped off her shoulders, revealing her snow-white and tender skin, which looked even more charming in the moonlight. She exuded an intoxicating aura that seduced the soul.

"Sister, that idiot Wu Xuan led a group of people to Mount Jiuxi to assassinate the Fourth Prince but failed. Except for him who escaped, everyone else was killed."

Mo Zhanchen stood outside the window with his back to her and whispered.

"What a brainless person. He angered Emperor Yao and hurt us." Ye Yushan sat up angrily and walked to the window.

There was a malicious light in her eyes, and she was very angry and dissatisfied with Wu Xuan's recklessness.She finally entered the palace. If she failed at this time, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

"Achen, please stay in the palace these days and don't run around. I will arrange for you to leave the palace after you escape this wave of searches."

"I understand, sister, don't worry."

Mo Zhanchen nodded slightly and flew up a tree like a swallow.He rested his head on the branch, looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, immersed in the quiet night.

"This silly kid still likes to stay in trees."

Ye Yushan smiled slightly and closed the window.Her eyes fell on the clothes rack nearby. The red dance clothes looked particularly dazzling and coquettish in the dim room.

She raised her hand and gently brushed the thin dance clothes, her eyes flashed with a coquettish light, and her figure swayed in the room, like a beautiful and coquettish flower.
