Qin Yuxue's affairs were not exposed under Lu's deliberate concealment. The next morning, the weather was calm and everything was going on in an orderly manner as usual. It seemed that the things that happened on the Chinese Valentine's Day were just a dream, and they disappeared when they woke up.

But Lin Zhaoyan knew in his heart that all this calmness was just a superficial phenomenon. Hidden under this calm lake was the turbulent waves, ready to go, waiting for the time to ripe and danger to overturn.

She also heard Lin Ruoyan say that after she left, they went to the pleasure boat to watch the embroidery competition and ran into a woman who looked very similar to pomegranate.

It has been a long time since I heard the name pomegranate. When she heard it again, she was still stunned, but she quickly reacted.

Last year, Zhou Wanyu also encountered pomegranates on the Huafang. It is said that the embroiderers selected by the Huafang every year are sent to the palace. Since Lin Zhaoyan encountered pomegranates again this year, it proves that pomegranates were not selected last year, and he just doesn’t know what the situation is like this year.

Can pomegranate's wish to enter the palace be realized?

Lin Zhaoyan did not make herself confused about the pomegranate. For her, pomegranate is a past tense after all, and she cares about the present.

It is about Moshuang, about his own plans, and about the efficiency of the second prince.

About... Xiao Qi.

She deliberately asked someone to go to the Xiao Palace to inquire about the situation. Unlike the last time the news was hidden secretly, this time she found it after checking it. It was said that Xiao Qi looked nothing serious and the Xiao Palace was calm. It didn't seem like something was wrong.

Lin Zhaoyan breathed a sigh of relief and did not ask any more questions afterwards.

Liu was very dissatisfied with Lin Ruoyan's incident when he encountered Qin Yuxue. He was afraid that she would cause any trouble again, so he simply put her under house arrest. He served her delicious food and drink every day, but refused to let her go. This was so worried that Lin Ruoyan could only use Lin Zhaoyan to visit her every day to make her feel bitter. She performed well in singing and writing, which was more pitiful than anyone else.

Lin Zhaoyan knew what she meant, but she hoped that she would plead in front of Liu and let her go, but she could only pretend not to know.

Because Lin Ruoyan will do something more serious than this in the future, in order to prevent Liu from being unable to accept it all at once, she would lock her up for a few days first. When Liu stabilized her mood, she would slowly convince and guide her to prepare her mentally.

A few days later, a storm suddenly broke out in the court. It was said that Cao Zhijing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was arrested for his greed.

Lin Zhaoyan was not familiar with the name Cao Zhijing. She had no intention of paying attention to it. However, she followed Lin Kun's movements, so she naturally knew about the Minister of Revenue in the court.

After paying attention, I realized that this matter was done by the second prince.

And Cao Zhijing was Cao Wen's father who was causing trouble downstairs in Wanghu that day.

It is said that Cao Wen brought a total of 50,000 taels of silver to attend an auction. As soon as this incident happened, it immediately caused a storm.

Cao Wen is just the son of the Minister of Revenue, so where did he get so much money?

Such a big question naturally needs to be found out, but Cao Zhijing is the third prince, and no one dares to take on this job, so the second prince took the initiative to stand up. Regardless of the third prince's explanation and cover up, he listed several suspicious points to attack Cao Zhijing and the third prince in the court, which was completely different from when he was talking to the third prince in the court.

The emperor quickly agreed that the second prince would assist in the Censorate to handle this matter as soon as possible.

After all, for the royal family, greed for the ink-like situation is equivalent to shaking the treasury, and damaging the royal family's interests is much more serious than killing people.

After the second prince was approved, he quickly took action.

He was an extremely smart person with high IQ and EQ. It was easy to deal with a person. What's more, Cao Zhijing was really greedy, which was even smoother than the frame-up when dealing with Zhou Tingchen. The most important thing is that the Minister of Justice was neutral on the surface, but in fact he had been secretly attracted by Concubine Duan, so it took only more than a month from obtaining the emperor's approval to finding evidence to interrogating Cao Zhijing to making a judgment.

In just thirty-five days, Cao Zhijing, the Minister of Revenue, who was once the third prince, fell out. The Ministry of Revenue suffered a severe blow and was in chaos for several days, and Wen Yu, the former Minister of Revenue, temporarily replaced him.

The Jian'an Marquis Mansion was depressed for a while, and even Lu, who was eager to try to capture Qin Yuxue's adulterer, calmed down and asked people to secretly look at Qin Yuxue, while he guarded Lin Kun every day to comfort and relieve.

As for the third prince, losing two loving generals in a row was an extremely heavy blow, but this time he was not as negative as Zhou Tingchen was dealt with last time. Instead, he became more and more busy, as if he wanted to turn grief and anger into strength, and he would have to make up for his losses from other places.

Lin Zhaoyan couldn't help but remember what the second prince said to him before, "I'm afraid that I will force my third brother to rebel, and I will jump over the wall if I'm in a hurry, let alone a human being."

So, this is what it means?

Now the third prince has a faint momentum to take action due to the loss of two generals. If Marquis of Jian'an is defeated again, with the third prince's character, he will definitely rebel.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhaoyan hesitated for a moment. After knowing the second prince for more than half a year, she gradually understood him, knowing that he was not a person who likes to fight for power and profit, and perhaps he shouldn't have pulled him into this muddy water.

"This is not your problem at all, but history has developed along this track. The history of the Great Yan Dynasty will not change. At most, you can only change your own destiny. What ability do you have to change the entire dynasty? Without you in the previous life, the second prince was still involved, so everything is just destined."

It was the real Lin Zhaoyan's words that strengthened her determination.

She admitted that it was a bit shameful to use the second prince to get rid of her difficulties, but since history cannot be changed, she could only try to change her destiny.

She just made the trajectory of things slightly deviated, and there should be no problem.

Lin Zhaoyan felt a little better when he felt hypnotized like this.

A few days later, just when she thought the second prince had to start Mo Shuang's matter after dealing with Cao Zhijing's affairs, she received a letter from Mr. Feng Qing.

The content of the letter really shocked her.
