Five Years Later, She Bombarded the Palace with a Miniature Version of the Regent

"The Prince's Palace in Zhenbei is so big, and I didn't want to publicize this matter last night, so of course you didn't know about it!"

Yu Yunxi glanced over with cold eyes, and then spoke indifferently.

Yu Xiaoxiao's face froze.

Yu Yunxi really wouldn't give her face.

Thinking of this, she felt resentful again.

"What about the thief?" Chu Yuefu asked.

"He resisted vigorously, but I, the princess, killed him on the spot. His body was also thrown into a mass grave." Yu Yunxi replied quietly.

Nan Xing was beside her, her little face wrinkled.

Obviously nothing happened last night, why did the eldest princess say there was a thief?

But the eldest princess must have her reasons for whatever she does, so just watch.

"This thief is so audacious!" Chu Yuefu said sharply.

Yu Yunxi's eyes fell on Chu Zai again, and then she slowly said: "Actually, although the thief last night was hateful, he was also helpless."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Chu Zai looked at her with inquiring eyes.

Yu Yunxi looked sad: "Yesterday, when I left the house, I met many beggars. I thought they were pitiful, so I gave them some pieces of silver. I guess it was because of this act of revealing wealth that some of them were spotted. So last night I risked my life to break into the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion and steal."

"Sister Yun Xi, this is not the reason for you to sympathize with the beggar." Chu Yuefu shook his head.

Yu Yunxi responded; "I understand that he broke into the house and almost hurt someone, so he deserves to die. But when I went to investigate later, I found that in addition to being a beggar, he is also a citizen of Kongzhou..."

When the words "Kongzhou" came out, the expressions of Chu Zai and Chu Yuefu changed.

After all, the locust plague in Kongzhou can be regarded as Chu Zai's current worry.

"I continued my investigation and found out that so many beggars who came to Kyoto were originally from Kongzhou. They were displaced due to the locust plague and had no choice but to flee south. Alas, if it weren't for losing their homes, who would be willing to leave their hometown and who would be willing to steal? Woolen cloth."

Yu Yunxi shook her head and sighed in a complicated tone.

Finally, she said to the emperor: "Last night, I told the thief that he was brave enough to steal things from Zhenbei Palace. Why not wait a few more days? The imperial court will go to provide disaster relief soon, and the food will arrive soon." Once the state is empty, they will be saved. But Your Majesty, guess what the thief said?"

"What should I say?" Chu Zai was already being led away by Yu Yunxi's nose invisibly.

"He said that the locusts were extremely powerful and had a tendency to move south. They might not stay in Kongzhou in a few days, but would run south and come all the way to Kyoto. And these locusts are different from the past. They are very powerful. They not only eat grains that grow in the ground, but also eat dried millet, and even hurt people. The disaster relief grains transported by the capital will be hijacked halfway, and the people of Kongzhou will still be I have to starve to death..."

Yu Yunxi was observing Chu Zai's expression as he spoke.

Realizing that he had listened to her words, she immediately continued: "Like my mother, I like to study medicine. It suddenly occurred to me that I can prepare some medicine prescriptions and put them in the food. These medicines will be fine for people to eat. , but the locusts will die after eating it.”

Yu Yunxi followed the temptation, and Chu Zai looked at her sharply: "Are you really able to prepare this kind of medicine?"

Although he hates Yunxi, he also hates this locust plague.

If the locust plague is not eliminated for a day, his treasury will continue to issue silver, the northern states and cities will not be stable, and his country will not be stable.

"Of course it is possible. Yun Xi can guarantee it with his life." Yu Yunxi raised his head and said firmly.

At the end, she added: "However, Yun Xi needs to see how much food there is before she can prepare the medicine. No more, no less, otherwise people will die."

"General Qu hasn't set off yet, and the food is still in Kyoto. If you want to see it, I can have someone take you there." Chu Zai said coldly.

He glanced at Yu Yunxi and his tone became colder: "However, if you don't handle the locust plague properly, I can put you in jail at any time."

"Yun Xi obeys your order."

Yu Yunxi nodded calmly.

She had already thought of a way to help Qu Yu and the others, so she wasn't afraid.

Chu Zai didn't have much patience either. He told Yu Yunxi to count the food after an hour, and then he left with a flourish.

"Sister Yun Xi, I have never heard of locusts robbing food that has already left the ground. Your real intention is to count the food!"

At this moment, Chu Yuefu looked over and said with a smile.

Yu Yunxi didn't hide anything. She turned around and said calmly: "Yes, my real purpose is indeed to count the food."

With this opportunity to count the grain, those who want to load stones onto the carriage should panic.

There was still an hour left, and she wanted to see how they could remedy the situation.

Chu Yuefu's eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully: "Even I can see through your lies, and my father must also know about it. Aren't you afraid that he will punish you for deceiving the emperor? "

Hearing this, Yu Yunxi's smile deepened.

"But didn't the emperor punish me in the end?" she asked.

She had no intention of deceiving the emperor with her words just now.

He was betting that the emperor cared more about the stability of the country, and that he wanted to punish her all the time.

It turned out that she was right.

The emperor has been sitting on the throne for so many years, and the empress dowager and her party have embezzled money for disaster relief. There is no way that he has not received any news.

But he kept silent, probably because he couldn't find an opportunity to expose the Empress Dowager.

Then she didn't mind and personally delivered this opportunity to him.

She took the initiative to take over this matter, and when the Queen Mother gets angry, she will only hate her.

Moreover, she had just taken the initiative to say that if she failed to provide disaster relief, she would be willing to go to the prison, which would naturally make the emperor feel relieved.

After all, no matter what, he won’t lose!

"Sister Yun Xi is so strategic. It's because I didn't think carefully." Chu Yuefu also thought of this and said slowly.

"Yun Xi, I'm sorry for you. You have worked so hard for the people, but the Emperor is still suspicious of you." Empress Qin said to Yun Xi distressedly.

Sensing the other party's very deliberate concern, Yu Yunxi felt very uncomfortable, but there was no emotion on her face.

"Anyway, we still have an hour to go and count the food. Otherwise, Fu'er, you can take Yun Xi around the palace." Queen Qin began to suggest.

Yu Yunxi frowned. She was about to refuse, but Chu Yuefu had already answered: "My son, I obey."

"Sister Yunxi, please."

Although Yu Yunxi was reluctant, she could only follow him out at this time.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at it, not to mention how anxious she was.

She didn't care whether Chu Yuefu would be angry or not, so she quickly picked up her skirt and chased him out.

Seeing the background of their departure, Queen Qin's face, which had been kind-hearted just now, suddenly turned cold, and her eyes became extremely vicious.

"I never imagined that I would one day look kindly on that bitch's daughter."

"Queen, please be patient, His Highness the Crown Prince said that Yu Yunxi will be of great use." Aunt Jiang quickly comforted her.
