Xiao Ying didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she lifted her bowl. With a red face, she said in a mosquito-like voice, "You, sit down. I know how to cook."

"Hahahaha …"

Seeing her Third Uncle like this, Madam Wang couldn't hold back her laughter. She even forgot to maintain her ladylike image.

"Second sister in law …"

"Eat, eat, you …"

"Sister Xiao Ying, I'll leave this third brother of mine to you to discipline. Ai, if there isn't a single woman, wouldn't that be a family?"

Ignoring the awkward atmosphere caused by the two men, Madam Wang continued talking to herself. There was no other way but to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Second sister in law, there's no need for you to say anymore. I already know …" Xiao Ying finally raised her head and glanced at Faang Tianhu. She signaled him with her eyes to eat obediently and talk less.

Thinking about it, there was one family who could not speak. No matter how shy he was, how could others see it?

"To be able to meet all of you again after so many years is my fortune, and I never thought that Brother Hu would still remember me. I'm sorry that you gave me such a home that I didn't even dare dream of … "It's worth it even if I die now!"

This woman was indeed different from the other village women. Perhaps it was because she had been living in the outside world for the past few years, but her mind was much more mature than Faang Tianzheng and his wife.

Madam Wang was very satisfied with her performance. "Sister, third brother's mouth is stupid. You can just teach him more …"

"Thank you, second sister, for your hard work in the future!"

"Family, what are you talking about? Come, come, come. Eat, eat!"

While Princess Mansion was happy and happy, the imperial palace was extremely busy. Even though it was already dinner time, this place was still extremely nervous.

Because the emperor received Yan Wuzhan's secret letter, the letter told him to send troops to guard 50 miles outside the west gate. His intuition told him that there must be something wrong with Yang Qing.

One month ago, Yang Qing had sent a letter saying that he would be entering the capital to report on his duties. It had already been almost a month since he had arrived, and when he had just arrived at the palace to pay his respects, Yan Wuzhan's letter had arrived.

Zhan had killed the tens of thousands of enemies in West Ridge with his Shanyang City and suffered a heavy loss. Now, he had already allocated a lot of food and silver to them, leaving the treasury empty.

What if Yang Qing rebelled at this moment?

What's wrong with Huangfu Feiyang keeping that kind of snake?

What are the empress and the crown prince doing...

Yan Yihan looked at the officials of the imperial court. He didn't say anything for a long time. These people were all shouting about raiding Huangfu Zima Mansion. Which one of them was loyal and which one was traitorous?

"You're all talking about it. Where is the evidence? Where is the evidence?"

"…"

"That's right, where is the evidence? Don't tell me a few snakes that have come out of nowhere would be able to search the annexation grounds!"

A sharp voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Greetings, Grand Princess!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Yan Yiyu, who suddenly appeared at the side, ignored the officials who were bowing to her and bowed towards Yan Yihan.

"Sister, please rise. Someone is coming to give you a seat!"

"Your majesty, it's true that Western Ridge Viper will appear in the Garden Competition, but we've already ascertained that those snakes were actually brought by that reckless girl, Cen Family, to harm Princess Anning. What does this have to do with my Huangfu Family?2

"Grand Princess, when Marshal Cen was still on his way to Shanyang City, how could he have used a snake to harm Cen Shuang’er?"

"Grand Preceptor Cen, so many days have passed and you still can't find any evidence to prove that Cen Shuang’er didn't bring these snakes into the fair. I wonder what kind of evidence is coming to claim that those snakes were raised by my Huangfu Family?"

"Your majesty, these people are all protecting their families. My Huangfu Family does not have any military power, and I do not have any official positions of actual power. Are we going to be bullied by them?"

Yes, his Huangfu Family was the strongest, so he did not even give a single official who could participate in politics. No wonder his sister personally came to avenge him, and stayed in the palace early in the morning … Thinking up to this point, the emperor felt that he could no longer continue the discussion on today's matter.

"There's no need to discuss this further. The Board of Justice should find out the truth as soon as possible and retire from court!"

Cen Wei was the most likely suspect, so he was first locked up. However, Imperial Consort Cen's family had been complaining about their wrongdoings all day long, and Cen Shuang’er's confession was:

"At that time, the boat swayed and the princess fell into the water. Because she was afraid, she lied about Qi Meng causing her peace and quiet."

In short, no one admitted that they had caused Princess Anning any harm, or that it had anything to do with peace. This meant that none of them knew the origins of those snakes.

This was already a government that was riddled with holes. Yan Yihan felt a deep sense of crisis.

Shanyang City was an important transportation city after the Sea Nation customs office, and something could even happen there. If it wasn't for An Ran who first called him over to smuggle food over, no one would know what would have happened now …

If Yang Qing really had a problem, then once the Shanyang City was broken, Yang Qing would attack again. At that time, Shan Yang's enemies would become Yang Qing's reinforcements. Just thinking about it made him scared.

Of course, the emperor's brain wasn't stupid. Just by thinking about it, he was able to connect all these seemingly unrelated matters together.

This was truly a grand plan to exterminate the dynasty.

Shanyang City belonged to the people of Huangfu Family. If the Grand Guard of the Western Region belonged to the crown prince, then the suspicion of Huangfu Family would be the greatest. What if Yang Qing belonged to the West Ridge?

After thinking about it, the emperor felt that this Yang Qing could only be a spy within West Ridge dweller. That was because last month, Huangfu Qi had killed his father, Imperial Physician Yang Zhongming, on Hui Long Town.

Then, the matter of Yang Qing colluding with West Ridge dweller could almost be confirmed, unless he did not bring a single soldier, and was purely here to report on his duty.

He hadn't thought about it until now. His son had a close relationship with the two princes of West Ridge. All of these plans had been made by his favorite son.

"Men, send men to the outskirts of Beijing to wait for Battle King and Moon King to return"

"Your majesty, I don't know if Battle King and the others have set out yet. Isn't it too early to wait outside the city?"

"Go, but don't tell me when Zhan will leave and when he will arrive."

"Yes!"

The emperor had also used Dongfang Ning's move to bluff and pretend that Yan Wuzhan had returned. He wanted others to not dare to act rashly and to prevent other forces from causing trouble at this time. The capital city was empty.

"Men, secretly send the army guarding outside the city to the village of Pingba, fifty miles west of the city, to stop the passersby and send spies all the way to the west. If there is an army, kill them no matter who they are!"

"Yes ~"

After all, every official was related to him by blood. No matter who he thought would rebel, he would never have imagined that his own son was his greatest enemy. He truly did not know how he snatched the throne from his older brother.

Didn't he think that his son would do the same, or did he just think that his children would only compete for each other's affection and not kill him so that he could become emperor?

In Yan Yihan's heart, Huangfu Family's martial power was high, so he gave the title of empress and crown prince.

As for Cen Family, he gave half of the military power to his, and then, he doted on Imperial Consort Cen's son the most. He thought that since this kind of distribution was fair, they should be satisfied with each other.
