Chapter 326 Instigating the Theft
Jiang Shaohan nodded, indicating that he agreed with Du Yunsheng's analysis. He looked at Du Yunsheng with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.
"Yun Sheng, you are right. I have sent people to investigate, but this matter involves ministers in the court. I am worried that they will be desperate and do harm to you."
Du Yunsheng smiled gently, patted Jiang Shaohan's hand, and said, "Don't worry, my lord. I will handle it carefully. As long as we support each other, we will be able to get through this difficult time."
Jiang Shaohan looked at Du Yunsheng, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He held Du Yunsheng's hand and said firmly: "Yunsheng, I believe in you."
The two smiled at each other, their tacit understanding needed no further words. At this moment, Zhao Tiezhu came in with a letter in his hand and handed it to Jiang Shaohan.
"Your Majesty, this is a joint memorial submitted by the ministers of the court. Please take a look."
Jiang Shaohan took the memorial, glanced at it, and then handed it to Du Yunsheng. Du Yunsheng read it carefully, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
"These ministers are so ambitious that they dare to jointly impeach the prince. How despicable!"
Jiang Shaohan smiled lightly and said, "Yun Sheng, since this has already happened, we can't escape. We have to find a way to resolve this crisis."
……
"Princess Jing, I will definitely discipline them well."
Du Yunsheng glanced meaningfully at the housekeeper who was the best at currying favor with the powerful, with an indescribable deepness in her eyes. She gently stroked her clothes and slowly said, "Housekeeper, do you know what I expect of you?"
The butler knelt hurriedly, his head lowered almost to the ground, and said in a humble and respectful voice: "I know very well that the princess has shown me such kindness. I am deeply grateful and will do my best until my death."
Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, but her eyes did not relax: "Get up, I know you are a smart person, but smart people can sometimes be too smart for their own good. I hope you can understand that the peace of the mansion cannot be separated from your management."
The butler stood up tremblingly, secretly weighing the princess's words in his mind.
At this time, a maid hurried into the study, holding a sealed letter in her hand, and handed it to Du Yunsheng: "Princess, this is an urgent letter just sent from the palace."
Du Yunsheng took the letter, opened it, and frowned slightly. She raised her head, glanced at everyone in the study, and said calmly: "Housekeeper, take a few people to check whether the theft case mentioned in this letter is in collusion with someone in the mansion."
The housekeeper was stunned, and immediately replied: "As you command, I will check it immediately."
Du Yunsheng nodded and looked at the maid: "Go and ask the eldest master to come over."
After a while, the eldest son Jiang Yuxuan came in. He was handsome and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament. When he saw Du Yunsheng, he bowed and said, "Mother."
Du Yunsheng motioned him to sit down, and then said, "Xuan'er, do you know about the theft case mentioned in this letter?"
Jiang Yuxuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Mother, I guess this matter must be related to collusion between someone inside and outside the palace. Otherwise, how could the theft be so easy to succeed."
Du Yunsheng nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "That's right. Butler, you and Zixuan go investigate together and make sure to find out who is behind this."
The housekeeper and Jiang Yuxuan left, leaving Du Yunsheng alone in the study. She looked out the window, her eyes revealing deep worry.
At night, the lights in Prince Jing's mansion were on, and Du Yunsheng sat in front of the window, looking at the night sky thoughtfully. Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and the housekeeper walked in.
"Princess, the matter has been investigated. The theft was indeed the result of collusion between someone inside and outside the palace, led by a guard named Xiao Wu."
Du Yunsheng smiled coldly: "Xiao Wu? I have heard of this name. Who does he belong to?"
The housekeeper pondered and said, "Xiao Wu was originally the second young master's close bodyguard, and was later transferred to this palace. According to investigation, he has a close relationship with the second young master. The second young master must have known about this theft."
Du Yunsheng's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Butler, you immediately arrange to have Xiao Wu secretly detained and wait for me to interrogate him personally."
The butler took the order and left, but Du Yunsheng felt even more heavy-hearted.
……
The next day, the atmosphere in Prince Jing's mansion was tense. Du Yunsheng interrogated Xiao Wu alone in the study. Facing Du Yunsheng's harsh questioning, Xiao Wu wanted to deny it at first, but in the end, under Du Yunsheng's majesty, he had to confess.
"Princess, I am sorry to you and the palace. It was the Second Young Master who ordered me to do this. He said that if the matter succeeds, he will give me a promotion and wealth."
Du Yunsheng looked at Xiao Wu coldly: "Then why did the Second Young Master instruct you to steal?"
Xiao Wu replied tremblingly: "The second young master said that he did it for... for..."
"For what?" Du Yunsheng's voice became increasingly cold.
"For you, Princess." Xiao Wu's voice was almost drowned out by himself.
Du Yunsheng was stunned, and a complicated expression flashed in her eyes. She was silent for a moment, and then said, "Housekeeper, take Xiao Wu away and take good care of him."
In the evening, Du Yunsheng summoned the second son Jiang Yumo to the study. Facing Du Yunsheng's questioning, Jiang Yumo wanted to quibble at first, but in the end, under Du Yunsheng's majesty, he had to bow his head and admit his mistake.
"Mother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have done such a thing for personal gain. Please punish me, mother."
Du Yunsheng looked at Jiang Yumo, her eyes filled with anger and disappointment. She took a deep breath and said, "Zimo, it's good that you know you were wrong. I will give you a chance to stay at the border for three years and reflect on your mistakes."
Jiang Yumo was shocked, but finally bowed his head and accepted Du Yunsheng's arrangement.
Du Yunsheng felt relieved when she thought of this. She stroked her clothes gently, sorted out her emotions, and slowly walked out of the inner room.
The hall of Prince Jing's mansion was brightly lit, and Prince Jing Jiang Shaohan was sitting in the main seat, discussing state affairs with several staff members. When he saw Du Yunsheng coming out, Jiang Shaohan's eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness.
"Princess, you finally come out." Jiang Shaohan stood up to greet her, his tone full of concern.
Du Yunsheng smiled slightly, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I felt a little uncomfortable just now, but I feel much better now."
Jiang Shaohan patted Du Yunsheng's shoulder gently and said, "In that case, then have a good rest."
Du Yunsheng shook his head gently and said, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. Although I am a woman, I cannot stay out of this matter. Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Jiang Shaohan's eyes flashed with admiration, and he nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. Since your Highness has this intention, how about we discuss it together?"
"Princess, how do you think we should deal with this border chaos?" Jiang Shaohan asked.
Du Yunsheng pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I think we should adopt the strategy of 'waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out'. First, we should strengthen the border defenses so that the enemy cannot easily invade. Then, we can find the right opportunity to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop."
Jiang Shaohan's eyes flashed with approval, and he said, "Princess, this is a great plan. So what should we do next?"
Du Yunsheng smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, I think we should send an elite force to sneak behind enemy lines to investigate the enemy's situation. At the same time, we should strengthen border patrols to prevent sneak attacks from the enemy."
