Mind Reading: Who understands? The emperor finally has a princess.

Chapter 257 Ah, this fairy lady is actually the concubine of Uncle Chuyang!

After the emperor sat down, he said, "All the ministers, please stand up!"

Then, the wet nurse handed the little princess to the emperor.

The emperor had a sore back, so he placed the little princess on the dragon throne.

"If you have something to report, please proceed. If not, please dismiss the court!" Gao Deli shouted in front of the stage.

At this time, the guards outside the door came in first.

"Your Majesty, General Lin Chong has sent this urgent message from eight hundred miles away. Please review it!"

Godley came down and handed the letter to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master's prayer for rain was successful. It's now raining heavily in Dongchang Prefecture. All the Lotus Cult members have been captured. The people now have food to eat, and the situation has calmed down. I've already gone to Jiangnan to beg for food. Your Majesty, please send this food as soon as possible."

The emperor was very happy when he saw it.

"Lin Chong is truly remarkable! When the Eastern Expeditionary Army returns to the city, I will personally go to the city gate to greet them."

Ministers: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Then, the emperor looked at the imperial teacher.

"This time, Imperial Master, your prayer for rain has been meritorious. I will grant you and the Second Prince a marriage today!"

When the Imperial Master heard this, he was overjoyed.

He immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

But the second prince did not stand up.

【Hey, why didn't Second Brother come? 】

Everyone looked at the prince's seat. The second prince had come to court yesterday.

The Third Prince: "The Imperial Master came back yesterday. He wouldn't have gone to see the Second Prince that night, would he?"

The Fifth Prince: "Do these two need a marriage? They're living like a married couple."

The Sixth Prince: "Indeed. By the way, where is the Fourth Prince?"

The Seventh Prince: "I haven't even touched my own princess yet. How come the wedding is still so far away?"

The Third Prince: "Isn't it the eighth day of the lunar new year? There are still three days left. I can't wait!"

The fifth, sixth, and seventh princes nodded quickly.

The three of them miss their wives like crazy!

The Imperial Master spoke on behalf of the Second Prince, "Your Majesty, the Second Prince is feeling unwell. I'm asking for leave!"

How could the emperor not know what he was doing?

snort!

[Second brother is too delicate, isn't he? The other brothers are...eh? Why didn't Fourth brother come?]

Everyone looked towards the Fourth Prince's position again. The Fourth Prince was handsome and could be seen at a glance.

When I looked today, he was not there, and then I looked at Hua Rong.

Hua Rong coughed lightly a few times. These court officials are crazy. What are they looking at?

Emperor: "What else do you want to report?"

The Dali Temple Minister stood up.

"Your Majesty, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and twelve officials involved in corruption have been identified. Three million taels of stolen silver have been found in their residences. The evidence is irrefutable."

[Wow, that's a lot! This Minister of Revenue took the lion's share. I don't know what he's after. He's clearly terrified of spending so much money, he doesn't even dare spend it. He's trembling with fear all day. Honestly, before he became corrupt, he seemed quite honest.]

The ministers began to whisper to each other.

"Indeed, I passed by the home of the Minister of War, and the door lintel was so broken that they didn't even repair it."

"Yes, I even saw that his court robes were patched."

"Once I went to visit the home of the Minister of War, and his food didn't even have a hint of meat."

"I heard that when he was the prefect, he gave all his salary to the people. He was a good official!"

"You really know people, faces but not hearts!"

……

The emperor was furious: "These parasites have nearly caused the people to become homeless. They truly deserve death. I will behead the Minister of Revenue and publicly display his head. All his property will be confiscated. His family and other officials will be exiled to Ningguta and will never be allowed to return to the court!"

Ministers: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Father, what about those profiteers? However, many of them were killed by that fairy lady from the Lotus Cult, so they died innocently!"

[And that fairy lady, controlling the people to rebel, what was she thinking? Is there some hidden agenda?]

When the princess said this, everyone was stunned.

Yes, it’s okay for the Lotus Sect to take the opportunity to recruit believers. As long as they don’t rebel, perhaps Your Majesty will not care about the Lotus Sect.

But what on earth is going on with that fairy lady?

He actually tricked the people into rebelling!

Long Xianxian called 666 out and said, "666, I was so busy getting the gold that I forgot to ask about that fairy lady. Why did she want to rebel?"

666: "Host, her rebellion is related to you!"

Long Xianxian was confused: "What does it have to do with me?"

666: "Host, please read the scroll yourself!"

When the fairy lady's scroll was opened, Long Xianxian was so shocked that her jaw dropped!

[Ah, this fairy lady is actually the concubine of Uncle Chuyang! ]

Everyone was stunned. Who could have imagined this?

The emperor remembered that the Chuyang Palace was in Dongchang Prefecture. At that time, Princess Chuyang used young boys and girls to make medicine, which almost caused chaos in Dongchang Prefecture. Fortunately, the children were found.

Although the Chuyang Palace was dealt with, the emperor did not kill the Chuyang King.

After all, this matter had nothing to do with other people in Prince Chuyang's mansion. It just demoted Prince Chuyang to a cripple and confiscated his property.

Therefore, his other concubines were also demoted to useless people like him.

[This concubine is also the favorite concubine of Uncle Chuyang. After Uncle Chuyang lost his throne, this concubine resorted to defrauding people of their money by dressing up as a Taoist nun.]

[Once, while she was scamming someone, she was noticed by the uncle-in-law of the Minister of War, who promised her many benefits if she would do something for him.]

She had been accustomed to a wealthy life in the Chuyang Palace, and suddenly became impoverished. She felt indignant and agreed.

[So, she, under the guise of a Lotus Sect fairy, with the help of her uncle-in-law, the Minister of War, quickly developed. Because of her financial support, many poor people were brainwashed just to make a living.]

But this fairy lady was ambitious. Thinking of her own hard life, she resented the emperor, so she deceived the people. It must be said that the emperor was also quite wronged. It was all because of Princess Chuyang's inhumanity. Why didn't she take revenge on Princess Chuyang?

The ministers nodded wildly, never expecting that this fairy from the Lotus Sect had such an identity.

However, even if this fairy lady wanted to seek revenge on Princess Chuyang, she couldn't find her because she had already been ordered to be tortured to death by slicing by the emperor.

The Dali Temple Minister came out hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the profiteer involved in this matter has also been arrested. Please Your Majesty deal with it."

The emperor said: "All your property will be confiscated and you will be sent to Ningguta. You will never be allowed to return to the court!"

The Supreme Court Minister said, "Yes, Your Majesty. Besides that, the identity of the Lotus Sect Fairy has also been ascertained. She was a concubine in the mansion before the deposed King Chuyang. Later, she disguised herself as a Taoist nun and colluded with unscrupulous merchants. I suspect that this concubine harbored rebellious intentions because of the dethronement of King Chuyang!"

The emperor snorted coldly: "Go and investigate. If the deposed prince is involved in this matter, he will be sent to Ningguta as an exile!"

Dali Temple: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

[This Dali Temple official is amazing. He figured it all out so quickly.]

Dali Temple Minister: Thanks to the little princess, he got all the benefits!

Ministers: This Dali Temple Minister is so shameless. He has reaped so much credit since the little princess was born.

[As expected of Miss Jiang Si's father. Eh, I haven't seen Miss Jiang Si for a long time. I wonder what new research she has done?]

Hearing this, Jiang Si, who was standing behind, stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have a new design. Please review it!"

Having said that, Jiang Si presented the manuscript to the emperor.

Long Xianxian's eyes lit up!

[Has the hand-thrown cannonball been successfully developed? Father, please bring it over and take a look!]
