The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

Nini looked at Luo Ren and said calmly: "Master Luo Ren, since you have been admitted to the first prize, you should go to see the Crown Princess. Come with me."

Luo Ren nodded and followed Nini towards the East Palace. They passed through the layers of palace walls and arrived at the gate of the East Palace.

Nini explained her purpose to the guard guarding the door. After the guard went in to report, Nini took Luo Ren and walked in.

When Luo Ren appeared in front of Zhou Xiaoyuan and Xia Yechen, they were both a little surprised.

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at Luo Ren and couldn't help but wonder: Who is this young man? Why did Nini bring him to see me?

Xia Yechen looked at Luo Ren with a serious face. He knew that he had to take responsibility for Zhou Xiaoyuan and Nini. He asked: "Luo Ren, who are you? Why do you come to see the Crown Princess?"

Luo Ren bowed deeply and said, "My dear Luo Ren, I used to study in the capital. Because my family was poor, I was framed and lost the opportunity to take the exam."

"Thanks to the help of the Crown Princess and Miss Nini, I can get back on my feet. Now that I have been admitted to the top exam, I am here to express my congratulations to the Princess of the East Palace."

Xia Yechen nodded, and he could hear Luo Ren's gratitude. He asked again: "Then do you know why it is rumored in Beijing that the crown prince is behind you?"

Luo Ren looked at Xia Yechen in surprise. He didn't know how the news got out.

He explained: "I don't know anything about it. The Crown Princess and Miss Nini just helped me and did not reveal any identities."

Xia Yechen frowned after hearing this. He knew that this news had an impact on Zhou Xiaoyuan's reputation.

A rumor began to circulate in the streets of Shangjing that

Crown Princess Zhou Xiaoyuan has a mysterious identity. She is the boss behind Xuan Yulou, the largest intelligence organization in the world.

This rumor spread more and more widely and became more true. Many people looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan with fear, and many people began to fawn over Luo Ren and wanted to seek benefits behind this big shot.

Luo Ren looked at the faces of these people and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He vowed to treat Zhou Xiaoyuan and Nini as his own sisters and would never let these people's schemes succeed.

On this day, Zhou Xiaoyuan received a letter, which invited her to meet at Yuqing Building and was signed by Qingyun.

Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but wonder, who is this Qingyun? Why did she want to meet him?

Zhou Xiaoyuan told Xia Yechen about this matter, and Xia Yechen immediately asked his confidants to investigate Qingyun's background.

After some investigation, they discovered that Qingyun turned out to be a woman, and she was the intelligence organization that founded Xuanyu Tower.

Zhou Xiaoyuan guessed that this Qingyun woman might want to take refuge with Xia Yechen. After all, Xia Yechen now held great power, and she also knew that the relationship between Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan was unusual.

So, Zhou Xiaoyuan decided to go to Yuqing Tower in person to find the Qingyun woman and ask for details.

In the private room of Yuqing Building, Zhou Xiaoyuan and Qingyun woman sat opposite each other. Zhou Xiaoyuan asked straight to the point: "Qingyun, what do you want to do?"

The Qingyun woman looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan with a hint of frankness in her eyes. She said: "My sister was captured by the court. I hope the Crown Princess can help rescue my sister Qingyue."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but feel a little confused. She didn't know what this Qingyun woman was like.

She thought that she would actually ask herself to help her rescue her sister who was captured by the court.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Then what can you do for me?"

The Qingyun woman smiled and said, "In exchange, I can help the Crown Princess to gather information."

Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but hesitate in her heart. She didn't know whether this Qingyun woman really wanted to take refuge in herself, or if she was just pretending to take refuge in herself.

However, if more information could be obtained through this woman, it would be a good thing for himself and Xia Yechen. So Zhou Xiaoyuan decided to agree temporarily.

Seeing that Zhou Xiaoyuan agreed, Qingyun woman said excitedly: "That's great, I will write down the various strongholds of Xuanyu Tower on paper for the Crown Princess to review."

After saying that, she immediately called the maid and handed a note to Zhou Xiaoyuan.

Zhou Xiaoyuan took the note and took a look at it, and found that it was filled with dense handwriting, which should be the various strongholds of Xuanyu Tower.

She couldn't help but feel a little surprised that this woman actually handed over this confidential information to her so easily.

Zhou Xiaoyuan decided to go to Qingyue first to ask about the situation. So, she took some of her men to the prison. When she came to the prison, she saw Qingyue tied to a pillar.

After seeing Zhou Xiaoyuan, Qingyue shouted excitedly: "Crown Princess, Crown Princess!"

Zhou Xiaoyuan walked over and asked, "How long have you been locked up here?"

Qingyue cried and said: "I have been here for almost a month! I am about to starve to death!"

Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart. She didn't know what was going on with Qingyue. So, she asked: "Then why were you put in prison?"

Qingyue said disdainfully: "What else could be the reason? My sister and I had a quarrel and ran away from home in anger. Later, I was spotted by Liang Junhao, the son of the imperial censor."

"They wanted to take me by force. I resisted and was framed and thrown into prison."

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at Qingyue and couldn't help but feel a little confused. She didn't know if Qingyue really didn't know the whereabouts of her sister, or if she was just deceiving herself.

So, she asked: "Then do you have any evidence to prove that your sister was framed by the Liang family?"

After hearing this, Qingyue thought for a while and said, "Actually, everyone in the surrounding shops saw it. However, they did not dare to come forward to testify because they were all afraid of the Liang family."

Zhou Xiaoyuan said calmly: "I understand. I will ask someone to investigate this issue."

After saying that, Zhou Xiaoyuan left the palace. She decided to ask Xia Yechen to send someone to investigate Liang Yushi.

If what Qingyue said is true, then there must be something wrong with Liang Yushi.

After receiving Zhou Xiaoyuan's order, Xia Yechen immediately sent his men to investigate Liang Yushi's affairs. He knew that he had to be careful because the Liang family had great power in the court.

If you are not careful, you may cause unnecessary trouble.

In the next few days, Xia Yechen's men have been secretly investigating Liang Yushi's situation.

They discovered that Liang Yushi used his authority to accept bribes and sold his official position. These things were found out clearly.

When the emperor learned the news, he couldn't help but be furious. He ordered severe punishment for Liang Yushi and all those involved in the case.

The news quickly spread throughout the capital.

Everyone praised the emperor for his wisdom and martial prowess.

In the process, Qingyue was also released.
