After a while, Hongxiu came in with Mo Sheng's personal butt-washing basin.

The wet nurse washed her and changed her clothes.

【I feel comfortable】

Before she could completely relax.

Then I saw Doctor Qiao coming over with a bowl in his hand.

[Desperate. When I grow up and catch the person who drugged me, I will cut her into pieces.]

Upon hearing this, Concubine Rong smiled helplessly again. Sheng'er would repeat this every day before taking the medicine.

It's been so long, and Concubine Yun has been interrogated again and again, but she still says she doesn't know.

It seems that the mastermind behind this is really well hidden.

After dinner.

Mo Jinyi strolled to Huaqing Palace again.

[Father, good evening. Are you here to see me or mother?]

Mo Jinyi smiled awkwardly.

[Okay, look at this smile, it's not coming for me]

Mo Sheng turned away expressionlessly.

Concubine Rong used a handkerchief to hide her shyness, then turned around and asked the wet nurse to carry Mo Sheng to the side hall to sleep.

[Okay, go play.]

"Ahem... Concubine Rong, it's getting late, let's go to bed."

Mo Jinyi put his arm around Concubine Rong's waist, his expression calm.

This is his concubine, why are you making fun of him?

The night is dark.

Mo Sheng, a child, fell asleep alone in a side hall with a wet nurse by his side.

[Alas, I have been single for two lifetimes]

Another early morning.

Mo Sheng was still sleeping soundly in Mo Jinyi's broad arms.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the flood in Shuozhou has been resolved, and all personnel involved in the Shuozhou flood case have returned to their posts and all relevant personnel have been escorted back to Beijing."

Marquis Zhenyuan said in a deep voice that it was only when he went to Shuozhou for disaster relief that he finally understood why his father made that choice back then. It was all for the people.

Perhaps, he should let go of his prejudice against His Majesty today.

Furthermore, Your Majesty also came to apologize on behalf of the late emperor.

For the emperor, it has brought great honor to their family.

What else is he not satisfied with?

"Marquis Zhenyuan, you have worked hard this time. As a reward, I will send someone to your house the next day to bring the prisoner up!" Mo Jinyi said in a deep voice while patting Mo Sheng.

"Your Majesty, please spare me, please spare me!" The cries for mercy continued one after another.

Amid the sound of iron chains, a long line of people were dragged up from under the hall.

"Imperial Censor, can you please tell me, what is this Bei Yuntianxia's surname?" Mo Jinyi said coldly.

"Your Majesty, Beiyun is your Majesty's Beiyun, and it will always belong to the Mo family."

The Imperial Censor's hair was now in disarray. He raised his head, crying and shouting with tears and snot.

"Heh~ The Mo family's world? You embezzled more than 500,000 disaster relief silver coins for your own personal gain, not to mention the gold and silver I found in your house. Compared with all the gold and silver you have, the national treasury is far behind!"

Mo Jinyi looked at the people in the hall and said coldly: "Why don't I abdicate to you and let you rule the world?"

All the civil and military officials in the court were frightened by Mo Jinyi and trembled all over.

He immediately knelt down and called on His Majesty to calm down.

After saying that, Mo Jinyi looked at the Shuozhou Governor Zhou Youcai, who was kneeling beside the Imperial Censor and trembling with fear.

"And you, Lord Zhou. As the governor of Shuozhou, you should be devoted to the people. What were you doing when your people needed you?"

"I feel guilty." Zhou Youcai knew that the truth had been revealed, and he dared not beg for mercy or cry out for injustice. He only prayed that His Royal Highness the Virtuous King could be saved. Otherwise, if they were found out that they were planning to raise private soldiers, they would not only be confiscated but also exiled.

"I feel guilty, but I see you have no guilt at all."

[Hmm? This Shuozhou governor confessed his guilt too readily. It seems he wants to save someone.]

After Mo Sheng was awakened by her father's voice, she heard the voice of the Shuozhou governor in a daze.

System: [Young Master, you guessed it right. He wants to protect the virtuous king's plan to raise troops in Shuozhou. Otherwise, he will not only confiscate his property and exile him, but also exterminate his entire clan.]

[Can he be saved? However, the emperor may take the matter of the virtuous king lightly, after all, there is no direct evidence that the virtuous king intends to rebel.]

Mo Jinyi looked down at the little girl who had already woken up. His daughter’s guess was right.

He really thought so.

System: [My young master, would you like to eat the melon about the virtuous king?]

【eat】

System: [The virtuous king has a hobby, he likes needlework, for this reason he specially consulted the most famous embroidery teacher in Beiyun]

Mo Sheng: […………Everyone has different hobbies, I understand.]

Mo Jinyi knew about this matter. One year, the virtuous king gave him a screen at his birthday banquet.

He said he embroidered it himself.

He was surprised for a long time at that time. For a man who had only learned it for a short time, he could embroider quite well.

System: [He learned this just to embroider dragon robes. He felt that no matter how secretive the embroidery was, it would be discovered sooner or later.

He simply went to learn it himself. He went to court during the day and went home at night to hide in his bed and embroider the dragon robe himself.

He would hide the finished piece of embroidery in the dark room of his room. By now, the dragon robe was almost finished.

Mo Sheng: [The wise uncle is a man of great ambition]

This is a ruthless man with perseverance.

Mo Jinyi was furious. He seemed to have been well-behaved over the years, but he didn't expect that the virtuous king would become restless.

The ministers below looked at His Majesty who suddenly fell into deep thought and were somewhat confused.

Isn't His Majesty dealing with the flood? Why is he suddenly staring at the little princess in a daze?

"His Majesty?"

Mo Jinyi came back to his senses.

He looked at the people kneeling below.

"From now on, the property of the Imperial Censor will be confiscated, and he will be exiled to the frontier. He will never be allowed to set foot in the capital. All relatives in the court will be expelled from the capital and will never be allowed to enter the capital. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy.

The governor of Shuozhou has been drinking and having fun all day, neglecting his duties and disregarding the lives of the people under his rule. Tomorrow, all nine clans of his family will be executed and exiled. All officials related to him will be exiled with him. I hope you can also have fun together down there."

Mo Jinyi gave the order.

Full of uproar.

Soon soldiers dragged these people out and put them in jail, waiting for tomorrow.

Every household began to confiscate property.

The Minister of Revenue smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed.

He had no sympathy for these people. When he thought that his treasury was out of money because of them, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.

Now the truth is revealed.

The treasury also needs money.

"Your Majesty, is the punishment too severe? The crime of the governor of Shuozhou and others does not deserve the death penalty."

Duke Anguo recalled what the woman he met before said.

She said that the governor of Shuozhou was wrongly accused.

He was somewhat skeptical.

Let's plead for mercy first and see if we can save them, and then find evidence to overturn their case.

The court officials were shocked that this Duke Anguo, who was in his seventies, was quite brave.

It is obvious that Your Majesty wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

You dare to beg for mercy.

“Does sin not lead to death?”

Mo Jinyi looked at Duke Anguo who was begging for mercy and asked back.

Oh, yes. Duke Anguo also pleaded for us.

"Duke Anguo, I have read your memorial, which pleads that they are wrongly accused, but is it true that they are wrongly accused even if the evidence is irrefutable?"

Mo Jinyi picked up Mo Sheng and stood up, questioning Duke Anguo in a harsh voice.

"Your Majesty, they have also worked for the court for many years. Even if they have no merit, they have worked hard. Such a severe punishment will chill the hearts of the ministers."

The other ministers who were kneeling on the ground as a background: “…”

We are not disappointed.

These people did make mistakes.

System: [Young Master, Duke Anguo was influenced by the heroine to plead for these people.]

[Heroine? But the Duke of Anguo himself also believes that these people are innocent, otherwise he would not dare to say so confidently that these people are wrongly accused.]

Mo Jinyi agreed with his daughter's idea very much and was about to retort.

The wise king also stood up.

"Your Majesty, I also feel that the punishment for the governor of Shuozhou and others is too harsh."
