Wen Wan naturally knew Xia Yao's actions. She just pretended not to know. She is living a very comfortable life now. Check the business every day, calculate the accounts, and watch the money pouring into your pocket. Occasionally listen to outside gossip.
Mother Gu took the letter and hurried over, "Princess, Mrs. Gu asked someone to deliver this. She said it was very urgent. Let's see what it is. Why didn't she deliver it herself?"
Wen Wan is also a little strange. I saw Yiyi yesterday, but today she said it was urgent. Wouldn't it be strange? Xia Ying was asked to open the letter, Wen Wan read it and became furious. Immediately ask Wuxing to go check it out, and then gather all the people who can move in the palace.
"Princess, what my subordinates found out is indeed true. Those people really deserve to be killed." Wuxing's face turned red with anger. These people who have lost their conscience must be killed one by one.
Wuxing thought for a moment and then said: "Princess Princess, give me twenty people. I will intercept them."
Wen Wan pondered for a moment: "Bring all the guards you can use in the mansion. I'm going to the palace now. Regardless of whether it's true or not, this is a major court matter. It's good to have a false alarm. If it's true, I have to do it. Kill the culprit." Wen Wan's eyes burst with murderous intent. If the military coats and cotton-padded jackets were really made of black cotton wool and rags, think about the soldiers wearing such clothes in the ice and snow at the border, deliberately trying to freeze those soldiers to death. These are the unscrupulous things of eighteen generations of ancestors, yet they dare to do them. This is something that only a very evil person can do.
"Moreover, if it spreads, it can easily lead to mutiny. When the time comes, it will be the Manchus who will benefit.
Xia Yao¡¯s lips twitched, but she didn¡¯t say anything.
Wen Wan quickly entered the palace and knew that the emperor was in the imperial study. She met the emperor directly and showed the emperor the letter Yiyi gave her.
The emperor¡¯s veins popped out after seeing it. After hearing Wen Wan's arrangement, he nodded. This matter cannot be made into a big deal because we still don¡¯t know who is behind the scenes. Find out the culprit first. If it is true, then control all people. Checked layer by layer.
At this moment, a minister came to report something.
The emperor's expression returned to normal: "If you are not able to eat well, go to Yongning Palace to rest first. My uncle will come over to see you later."
Wen Wan felt uneasy. Unwilling to leave: "Uncle, let me grind ink for you!" So, Yueyao listened to government affairs while grinding.
The minister has long been accustomed to this. So it¡¯s not surprising. One of them came to report something that had not been done properly. The emperor also passed in a few words.
News came soon. The information Yiyi gave is true. Wu Xing interrogated the steward of the workshop and told him who his employer was. Following the clues, he found out that he was a doctor from the Ministry of War. The emperor ordered that the investigation continue, and no matter who is found, he will be severely punished
Wen Wan is staying in Yongning Palace this day. Asked Xia Yao: "Who do you think is the mastermind behind the scenes?" If it is corruption and bribery, Wen Wan can still bear it. But such a thing. It's what she hates the most. The soldiers bled and died at the front, and were stabbed in the back at the back. What's going on? If we don't kill him this time as a warning to others, the entire country of Qi will be in danger.
The emperor's people are very efficient in doing things. Wen Wan knew the news as soon as she woke up the next day. The man behind the scenes is Guo Tong. certainly. People in the Ministry of War cannot escape their responsibility. Even if you don't participate, you can't escape the crime of neglecting your responsibilities.
When Wen Wan received the news, she remained silent for a long time: "Tell me, he is already the uncle of the state, why would he do such a thing that is so harmful to nature?"
Xia Yao said coldly from the side: "This kind of person will not feel that he has done anything evil. As long as it is profitable, there is no lower limit."
Wen Wan didn¡¯t know that the emperor would deal with it this way. But I can imagine that if this spreads out, the crown prince's position will be in jeopardy. Uncle Emperor, I hope the Emperor will not disappoint her.
The queen also got the news early in the morning and fainted at that time. Rush to the Imperial Study Room immediately. Unfortunately, the emperor did not want to see her. So the queen wanted to go to Yongning Palace.
Pei Pei spent a lot of effort to stop the queen from going to Yongning Palace: "Empress, the gentle princess is hard-hearted. The uncle of the country offended the princess last time, and now it is the princess who initiated this matter. Madam, you are the one. If you lose face, the princess will not respond to you. Instead of doing this, we should quickly find His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Third Prince, and His Highness the Sixth Prince to discuss countermeasures."
The Queen was almost supported by Aunt Pei when she arrived at Kunning Palace.
After the emperor had the conclusive evidence, he said with a cold face: "Go and bring the prince."
Yueyao sneered. I'm afraid this is just a substitute sheep who has withdrawn. However, even if you are a scapegoat, you are seeking death.
The prince came, and the emperor showed the prince what he had in his hand. The prince's face suddenly turned pale.
The emperor didn't care: "Prince, what do you think of this matter?"
The prince said in a low voice: "My son, I obey my father's will."
The emperor said coldly: "I'm asking you, how do you plan to deal with it?" There was obvious disappointment in his eyes. Now this matter was discovered in time. If it had not been discovered in time, more than 30,000 pieces of adulterated winter clothes would have killed more than 30,000 soldiers at the border. Once the border is unstable, the world will be in chaos.
The prince thought about the queen's pleading, gritted his teeth and said: "Father, please exile Guo Tong for three thousand miles. He will never be pardoned." At least in this way, he still saved his life.
The people outside the palace reported back: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Third and His Highness the Sixth would like to see you."
The emperor waved to let them in, and said: "Go and call Wen Wan.
When Wen Wan collapsed, the prince, third prince, and sixth prince all knelt on the ground. The emperor's face was expressionless: "Wen Wan, the prince said that Guo Tong would be spared and exiled three thousand miles away without mercy. Qi Mu said that he must be killed, and Qi Feng also begged me to spare Guo Tong's life. Wen Wan, what do you think? , should I spare it?¡±
Wen Wan¡¯s eyebrows trembled, what was the emperor¡¯s uncle doing? But she soon calmed down: "If you dare to do such evil, uncle Emperor, Guo Tong will be punished by death. However, this matter always involves the face of the prince, the third prince and the sixth prince. So it can only be dealt with privately. Otherwise, the common people and the border officers and soldiers It will also be chilling (this matter has not happened yet, so it is not so serious). Uncle Emperor, you should be considerate of them. After all I can understand it, but the prince's cousin, the sixth cousin. , Family ties must not be forgotten. Once this happens, it will shake the country, and no one can afford the consequences. "
The emperor said calmly: "Did you hear that?"
Several people looked ashamed. He is his uncle after all. The Prince's face has a look of food, while the Qimu face has a look of shame. Qi Feng looked at Wen Wan and lowered his head.
Wen Wan can understand that he is his biological uncle after all, especially the prince, who has deep feelings. If it were her, she wouldn't be able to do it. However, everything was Guo Tong's own fault. Can't blame her.
The emperor asked everyone to push him down. Leaning back in the chair tiredly. She massaged him gently and obediently to relieve fatigue: "Uncle Emperor, if you feel tired, take a rest. Your health is important."
The emperor patted Wen Wan's hand. It would be great if Wen Wan was his son. He doesn't need to worry like this (Wen Wan said: If I were your son, I would probably get rid of him quickly).
After the matter was settled, the emperor exchanged the letter in his hand with Wen Wan: "Girl, you handled it very well this time. However, don't be used as a weapon in the future. It's not just once or twice, and you can't always be used by others. .Uncle hopes there won¡¯t be another time.¡±
Wen Wan naturally knew what the emperor meant by this. I felt a little sad. She didn't know if there was something wrong with her behavior. Wen Wan smiled bitterly, even the emperor's uncle couldn't stand it. Hey, forget it, now that we¡¯ve reached this point, what else can we do! If you have to go, you have to go. Since we can¡¯t ask for it, we no longer hope for it.
Seeing that Wen Wan quickly put it down, the emperor smiled knowingly, "Just be careful in the future. This matter won't end so soon, but please don't interfere anymore."
Nodding gently.
Seeing Wen Wan¡¯s lonely expression, the emperor knew that what he just said had made Wen Wan sad: ¡°Wen Wan, I¡¯ll pay tribute to you with two good horses. You go to the racecourse and choose the one you like.¡±
Wen Wan's eyes lit up after hearing this. She couldn't bring out the little ink last time, and then she never found a horse that she wanted. "Okay, okay, I'll go now." After saying that, she didn't care about the emperor's words and walked out quickly, not looking like a lady. look.
The emperor smiled when he saw Wen Wan like this. It's always cold at high places, and those who stand at high places are doomed to be lonely. Wen Wan has actually realized this.
When Wen Wan arrived at the horse pen, the steward brought the two horses over. "Princess, these are two tribute horses."
One is maroon and the other is gray. Wen Wan looked at the two horses in front of her and walked forward. Both horses were obedient, which was a sign of being tamed.
Wenwan doesn¡¯t like the maroon color, it¡¯s too tacky. So naturally, the gray horse was chosen. Tall and mighty, but with gentle eyes. Wen Wan chose a very tacky name: "Let's call you Xiao Hui!" Xia Yao sweated. A thousand-mile horse has such a tacky and unpleasant name.
"Yes, I will send the horse to the princess's mansion after the meeting." The person in charge of the racecourse immediately read Ying's book respectfully. Wen Wan nodded, turned around and left.
I saw a man in brocade clothes coming towards me with a jade tree facing the wind. Wen Wan looked at it and called out softly to the other party, "Your Highness."
"Sister Wen Wan, isn't it too unfamiliar to call me that? Just call me cousin." The fifth prince Qi Xuan said reproachfully.
Wen Wan immediately changed her words playfully, "Hello, fifth cousin."
Qi Xuan is very talentedHe asked with interest, "I never heard that Wen Wan's sister can also ride a horse. When did she learn to ride a horse?" As far as he knew, Wen Wan seemed to have never learned to ride a horse.
Wen Wan saw Yan Qixuan¡¯s eyes looking at her with fire. He smiled lightly and said, "I don't remember."
Qi Xuan warmly invited Wen Wan, "If sister Wen Wan doesn't mind, let's go to the racecourse and run two laps together now." He really didn't know that Wen Wan was so versatile. Always give yourself more surprises unexpectedly.
Wen Wan naturally refused. Left politely.
Qi Xuan looked at Wen Wan¡¯s back, with a hot glow in his eyes that he didn¡¯t take back for a long time. (To be continued)
