In the Bishui Pavilion, Zhenfei pulled Fei Yue'er to chat about family matters, and asked about her well-being from time to time.

Xiao Ming sat on the chair and looked at the two of them, thinking about the time to return to Qingzhou. Now that he is married, he has no need to stay in Chang'an.

Moreover, the last assassination left a psychological shadow on him, and Chang'an was unsafe for him.

Just as every vassal king tries his best to avoid leaving his fiefdom, Xiao Ming is also thinking about this now, because once he comes to other people's territory, he will no longer be able to control his own safety.

What's more, now that he has the princess Fei Yueer, he doesn't want to make any mistakes in Chang'an.

While the two were joking, Xiao Ming interrupted and said, "Mom, I plan to return to Qingzhou in five days. I will stay in Chang'an for too long. After all, this place is not a place to settle down."

Princess Zhen nodded when she heard this. She did not try to keep her. This assassination incident also made her heart worried. "Well, it's better to go back early. The water in Chang'an is too muddy. If you take it for one more day, you will have a threat. And someone will have to take care of your fiefdom, otherwise you will be afraid of a change after a long time. Just prepare for it and go back."

Fei Yue'er also knew about Xiao Ming's assassination, but she did not object, and just asked: "Has the murderer been found yet?"

"According to the father's intention, either the second prince or the Shanxi merchant who colluded with the barbarians, the two sides are indeed the most likely." Xiao Ming pondered.

"Second Prince." Concubine Zhen was shocked.

Xiao Ming nodded, "Yes, and the father tried to test his son for this matter." Then Xiao Ming said this matter.

"If it is the second prince, your father seems to be planning to turn big things into small things and small things into small things. He is the king of a country. Now that you are fine, he naturally does not want to touch the second prince to avoid causing displeasure to King Liang. However, this admonition will not be missing." Concubine Zhen said.

"Hmph, I guess the father is the same, but if it were the second prince, the son minister would not compromise like this, otherwise how could the son minister explain to the dead soldiers?" Xiao Ming's anger surged.

"Even if the second prince does it, it is not a serious crime of treason, the prince will not die. At most, it will be abolished as a civilian or exiled to the border." Fei Yue'er said at this time.

Concubine Zhen nodded, "Yue'er said it right. You can't be impulsive in this matter. You have to let your father deal with it." What she was worried about was that Xiao Ming did something stupid on impulse.

Xiao Ming frowned and said, "Yes, Mother."

After chatting with Concubine Zhen for a while, Xiao Ming and Fei Yue'er got up and left. They could not stay in the palace for too long.

"Hey, Mother is alone in this deep palace and courtyard, and you are not by her side, so she must be very lonely."

On the way back, Fei Yue'er was inspired.

"The most ruthless imperial family is not nonsense, but what can this be said? The only thing I can do is to improve my status. My mother is noble by her son, so that she can be more relaxed in the palace without being bullied by other concubines."

Fei Yue'er often chats with her sister, so she naturally knows the darkness in the palace, but even so, her sister is still looking forward to a day when she can be in the world.

Sometimes she can't even understand, is power really that important?

When he returned to the palace, Xiao Ming ordered Aster and Lulu to count the gifts given to the guests this time, and at the same time he was preparing to pack up and return to Qingzhou.

At this time, Fei Yue'er also met Aster and Green Ivy.

Fei Yue'er has always been gentle in treating people. After chatting with the two girls for a while, Ziyuan and Luluo were so happy that they called Tian a "princess" a little.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Ming nodded with satisfaction.

For a man, a woman who can manage the house is a good wife. He and Fei Yue'er are not free love, but political marriage. Naturally, he hopes that his backyard will not catch fire everywhere.

It’s already very tiring to work outside, which man wants to go home and is still in a mess?

After chatting for a while, Fei Yue'er quickly got into the role of his wife and took the initiative to take the responsibility of counting the gift list. For her, these things are theirs now.

This made Xiao Ming feel more at ease, and a smile appeared on his face.

Thinking of the gift list Xiao Wenxuan gave him, Xiao Ming pulled out of his sleeve and glanced at it. Seeing the things on it, Xiao Ming couldn't help laughing. This time, Xiao Wenxuan was very generous and gave him 60,000 taels of gold, 5,000 cloth, and hundreds of precious jewelry. He really fed him.

The last item of the wedding in the morning was also over. In the afternoon, Xiao Ming and Fei Yueer counted the gift list together.

There were 600 guests at the 60-table banquet. These guests included almost all the well-known figures in Chang'an City. When they were busy in the evening, they converted everything and got about three million taels of gifts, which was a great reward.

Although most of the things need to be sold before conversion, this number also satisfyed Xiao Ming.

Just when a group of people were happy, a man suddenly entered the palace.

The person who came was not someone else, but Li San. After the assassination, he sent Li San to investigate secretly. During this period, Li San was running around and even went to Qingzhou to ask Wang Xuan to cooperate with the investigation.

Seeing Li San coming, Xiao Ming took Li San into the main hall, while Fei Yue'er was sensible and avoided suspicion and went to the wedding room.

"Your Highness, Wang Xuan's men caught the Shanxi merchant who gave the prince a barbarian." Li San was still running with a rushing dust on his body, but his expression was very firm.

"Catch it?" Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed.

"Yes, Wang Xuan has been keeping some detailed works on the barbarian territory, and soon found out the details of this Shanxi merchant. Moreover, this Shanxi merchant actually had contacts with our chamber of commerce, and violated the regulations of the chamber of commerce and sold a lot of white wine to the grassland without authorization. Li Kaiyuan always wanted to punish him." Li San said.

"How did you catch him?" He also heard about this Shanxi merchant. Many merchants in the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce looked down on these Shanxi merchants and called them traitors, because these Shanxi merchants sold a lot of contraband from Dayu in recent years to the barbarians, which was equivalent to indirectly subsidizing the rise of the barbarians.

Li San said: "There is a village that is not in charge between Liang and the fief of King Yong. Most of the Shanxi merchants gather here. Many goods are also transferred through this place. However, there are conflicts between these Shanxi merchants. So we asked Li Kaiyuan to use the Chamber of Commerce to bribe a Shanxi merchant and get the whereabouts of that person and successfully arrested them. Now the Shanxi merchant is outside Chang'an City, waiting for the arrival of His Highness."

"Good job," Xiao Ming praised.

From Xiao Wenxuan's tone, he knew that Xiao Wenxuan would do this matter slowly, because from Xiao Wenxuan's perspective, he was not dead anyway, and what he needed was the overall stability and wanted to fool him.

But for him, this revenge must be revenged.
