The house was confiscated at the beginning, so I evacuated my enemy's house to escape.

After King Xiaoyao and others left Zhangqian Palace, Fu Yanci began to deal with the rest of the matters.

He asked Zhang Feng and others to find out all of the King of Qi's followers, and all those who surrendered to the court would be given lenient sentences.

After King Xiaoyao settled the Queen Mother, he hurried over to deal with the rest of the matters with Fu Yanci.

Therefore, Fu Yanci had someone escort Feng Jiuyan back to Tianxia Biao to rest.

*

The next morning, when Feng Jiuyan woke up, it was already noon.

After the maid from Tianxia Escort Agency helped Feng Jiuyan wash up, she brought her breakfast.

While eating, Feng Jiuyan took the time to ask the maid beside her, "Guo Cui, what's the situation outside now?"

"To answer your question, the Emperor passed away last night."

"Ah?" Feng Jiuyan replied in pretended shock.

"Girl, this is not the most shocking thing! The most shocking thing is that this epidemic is a conspiracy of the King of Qi. He intends to gain merit and sit on the throne, and he does not hesitate to harm the people. Not only that, he also..."

The little maidservant talked nonstop, spitting all over the place, passionately and indignantly. Finally, she sighed to herself, "Fortunately, Prince Rui revealed his true face, which prevented him from succeeding!

Humph, if he ascends the throne, we the people will have no way to survive."

Feng Jiuyan asked tentatively, "Is this also what Prince Rui announced to the world?"

"Yes, that's right! Now all the people in the world know the true face of King Qi. They all despise him and want to dig out his corpse and whip it." Guo Cui was indignant. Looking at her eager expression, Feng Jiuyan felt that Guo Cui also wanted to dig out King Qi's corpse and whip it.

"Any more?"

"Also, the emperor will be buried early tomorrow morning. Prince Rui said that the national treasury is empty right now. We in Dayan have just experienced an epidemic. It is a time when the atmosphere is damaged. We should not waste money and manpower and we need to save money. Well, you are worthy of being Prince Rui. You always think about the people!" Guo Cui's eyes were full of stars as she praised Fu Yanci highly.

After finishing breakfast, Feng Jiuyan took Guo Cui to wander around the streets, intending to find out some information.

Just as Ruo Cui said, Fu Yanci exposed the crimes of King Qi to the world. The people who used to praise King Qi began to curse him and wanted to find his corpse and whip it.

After knowing what Fu Yanci had done, he praised Fu Yanci highly.

Feng Jiuyan took Guo Cui for a walk on the street, and then returned to the Tianxia Escort Agency with satisfaction.

As soon as I returned to the escort agency, I saw Bai Li. When he saw Feng Jiuyan, his eyes lit up, and he walked over and said, "Miss, you are finally back. The prince asked you to come to the palace, saying that the queen mother wanted to thank you and asked you to come to the palace immediately."

Feng Jiuyan's eyes flashed, and she squinted and smiled, "Hey, is the Queen Mother going to reward me?"

Bai Li saw Feng Jiuyan's money-obsessed look and smiled helplessly, "It should be."

“Hehehe, then hurry into the palace, quickly, quickly.” Feng Jiuyan said, and ran straight ahead.

Cixi Palace.

When Feng Jiuyan entered Cixi's palace, she saw Fu Yanci, who was sitting on the couch, chatting and laughing with the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother had sharp eyes and spotted Feng Jiuyan at a glance.

"You are A'yan, right?" The Queen Mother said with a kind smile on her face.

"Your Majesty, I am a commoner." Feng Jiuyan bowed to the Queen Mother, neither humble nor arrogant.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother nodded repeatedly, "Good, this appearance, this demeanor, are both excellent. Child, come here quickly, let me take a good look at it."

"Child, thanks to you, otherwise I would have lost my life and would never have been able to wait until the day when I would meet A Ci." The Queen Mother held Feng Jiuyan's hand affectionately and said gratefully.

"You don't have to be polite, Queen Mother. This is what a commoner should do." Feng Jiuyan said.

"Haha, even though that's what I said, I still have to reward you."

"Qiu Shui, take out the box." said the Queen Mother.

"Yes, Queen Mother."

After a while, the female official beside the Queen Mother entered the inner hall and brought out a box.

The Queen Mother took the box and handed it to Feng Jiuyan. "Child, open it and see if you like it."

Feng Jiuyan took the wooden box, opened it and took a look, his eyes lit up instantly.

I saw that it was filled with various pearl hairpins and jade rings, all of which were top quality.

A smile instantly spread across her face, "Queen Mother, are these for the common people?"

The Queen Mother was amused by Feng Jiuyan's love of money, "Hehehe, all of this is for you, do you like it?"

Feng Jiuyan nodded repeatedly, "I like it very much, hehe~"

"You are a very lovable child." The Queen Mother chuckled softly and looked at Fu Yanci. Both of them had doting smiles in their eyes.

Afterwards, the Queen Mother talked to Feng Jiuyan and Fu Yanci for a long time, and asked them to have dinner in Cixi Palace. When she was tired, Feng Jiuyan and Fu Yanci left the bedroom.

After leaving the Queen Mother's bedroom, Feng Jiuyan asked in confusion, "Have you finished dealing with everything? Why are you so free?"

Fu Yanci held the wooden box for Feng Jiuyan with both hands, and said with a smile, "Haha, those things are so complicated, they should naturally be handed over to the emperor's uncle to handle. I'm not the emperor, why should I worry so much."

Feng Jiuyan smiled and said, "That's true. Once things are settled, we'll go back to Youzhou City."

"Well, let's go back in a few days. The Empress Dowager said that she doesn't want to stay in the palace anymore, and she will go to Youzhou City with us when the time comes."

"Is this okay?" Feng Jiuyan asked, "Does your uncle agree?"

"It's useless if he disagrees. It's fine as long as the Empress Dowager is willing." Fu Yanci said nonchalantly.

Feng Jiuyan remembered something and asked, "By the way, was the anonymous letter we received in Youzhou City also sent by your uncle? Also, was it your uncle who made it so easy for us to enter the palace gate last night?"

Fu Yanci nodded, "It was the letter sent by the emperor's uncle. He also tampered with the palace gate and transferred the Black Feather Army and his people to guard the palace gate, so we were able to break into the palace gate so smoothly. The emperor's uncle has been planning to avenge my father."

"Your uncle is quite loyal." Feng Jiuyan commented.

"My mother told me that the emperor's uncle loved my father the most and had been determined to assist him and protect the country since he was young. But fate played tricks on him and my father was murdered by the Emperor Ji Wu. In order to seek revenge, the emperor's uncle could only pretend to be a playboy and hide his talents.

But it’s good this way. When the uncle inherits the throne, he will be able to use his talents to govern the country, and it won’t be considered a waste of his talents.”

......

The next morning, the coffin of Emperor Ji Wu was moved to the imperial mausoleum. Feng Jiuyan did not attend, but stayed in the palace to accompany the Queen Mother. Fu Yanci and King Xiaoyao attended the funeral for the sake of courtesy, and watched the funeral procession send the coffin of Emperor Ji Wu away.

That ceremony was so shabby.

Even the burial objects were just scraps of copper and iron, and there was no one to keep vigil for Emperor Ji Wu.

If Emperor Ji Wu knew about these things, even that thin coffin wouldn’t be able to cover him!
