Chapter 321: Ploting Yu Yunxi

"The Zhenbei Palace is so big, and I didn't want to make this happen last night, so you naturally don't know!"

Yu Yunxi swept over his cold eyes and spoke coldly.

Yu Xiaoxiao's face froze.

Yu Yunxi really won’t give her face.

Thinking of this, she felt resentful again.

"What about that thief?" Chu Yuefu asked out loud.

"He fought hard, and this princess had killed him on the spot. The body was also thrown into the mass grave." Yu Yunxi replied indifferently.

Nan Xing was beside her, her little face wrinkled.

It was obvious that nothing happened last night, why did the eldest prince mainly say that there was a thief?

But what the eldest princess does must have her reason, let's watch it.

"This thief is simply bold!" Chu Yuefu spoke sternly.

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

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

Yu Yunxi looked sad: "Yesterday, when I left the mansion, I met many beggars and felt that they were pitiful, so I gave them some money. It was probably because of this act of revealing wealth that some of them were targeted by beggars, so they risked their lives to steal the Zhenbei Palace last night."

"Sister Yunxi, this is not your reason to sympathize with the beggar." Chu Yuefu shook his head.

Yu Yunxi responded, "I understand that he almost hurt people when he went into the palace to steal. It's true that he deserved to die. But later I went to investigate and he was a beggar, but also a commoner in Kongzhou..."

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

After all, the locust plague in Kongzhou can be regarded as Chu Zai’s heart disease now.

"I continued to investigate and found out that so many beggars flocked to Kyoto, all of which were the people of Kongzhou. They were displaced due to locust plagues and had to flee south. Alas, if it weren't for the loss of home, who would have been willing to leave their hometowns and who would have been willing to steal?"

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

Finally, she said to the emperor: "Last night, I told the thief that he had the courage to come and steal things from the Zhenbei Palace. Why didn't you wait for a few days? The court immediately went to provide disaster relief, and the food was about to reach Kongzhou, so they were saved. But, your lord, what did the thief say?"

"How do you say it?" Chu Zai was already led by Yu Yunxi invisibly.

"He said that the locusts are extremely powerful, and there is a tendency to go south. They may not be allowed to stay in Kongzhou in a few days, but run south and come to Kyoto. Moreover, these locusts are different from before. They are very powerful. They not only eat grains grown in the ground, but also eat dried millet, and even hurt people. The disaster relief food transported by the capital cannot be kept and will be hijacked halfway, and the people in Kongzhou will still starve to death..."

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

When she found that he had heard her words, she immediately continued to speak: "Like my mother, I like to study medicines more. I suddenly thought that I could put some prescriptions in food. It would be fine if the medicine people took them, but the locusts would die."

Yu Yunxi was very tempted, and Chu Zai looked at her with a sharp look: "Can you really prepare this medicine?"

Although he hated Yunxi, he also hated the locust plague.

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

"Of course, Yun Xi can guarantee his life." Yu Yunxi looked up and said in a confident tone.

Finally, she added: "However, Yunxi has to see how much food there is before he can prescribe medicine. It is not much, otherwise he will eat it to death."

"General Qu has not set out yet, and the food is still in Kyoto. If you want to see it, I can ask someone to take you there." Chu Zai spoke coldly.

He glanced at Yu Yunxi and his tone became colder: "However, if you can't handle this locust plague well, I can throw you into prison at any time."

"Yunxi obeys the order."

Yu Yunxi nodded calmly.

She had long thought of a way to help Qu Yu and the others, so she was not afraid.

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

"Sister Yunxi, I have never heard of it. Locusts will rob the food that has 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 it. She turned around and said in a calm tone: "Yes, my real purpose is indeed to count the food."

With the opportunity to count the grain, I am afraid that those who want to load stones on the carriage should panic.

There is still an hour, and she wants to see how they can remedy it.

Chu Yuefu's eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully: "Your lie can be seen through, and my father must be aware of it. Aren't you afraid that he will punish you for deceiving the king?"

Upon hearing this, the smile on the corner of Yu Yunxi's mouth became deeper.

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

She had no intention of cheating the emperor after that.

He was gambling, and the gambling emperor cared about stability in the country, and bet that he wanted to blame her all the time.

As it turns out, she bet right.

The emperor has been sitting firmly on the dragon throne for so many years, and the empress dowager's party has been greedy for disaster relief, so he can't have received any news.

But he remained silent, probably because he could not find an opportunity to expose the Empress Dowager.

Then she didn't mind and gave this opportunity to him with her own hands.

She took the initiative to take charge of this matter, and the empress dowager would only hold a grudge against her when the time comes.

And she just took the initiative to say that if she was unable to provide disaster relief, she would be willing to go to the Heavenly Prison and the emperor would naturally feel relieved.

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

"Sister Yunxi is so strategic, but I am not thinking well." Chu Yuefu also thought of this level and said slowly.

"Yun Xi, it's hard for you. I'm doing my best for the people. The emperor actually has to suspect you." Empress Qin said to Yun Xi with heartache.

Yu Yunxi felt very uncomfortable when he noticed that the other party was very deliberately concerned, but he didn't show any emotion on his face.

"Anyway, it's still an hour before we can count the food. Otherwise, Fu'er, you will take Yun Xi around the palace." Empress Qin began to propose.

Yu Yunxi frowned. She was about to refuse, but Chu Yuefu had already answered: "Son Master obeys the order."

"Sister Yunxi, please."

Although Yu Yunxi was unwilling to do so, he could only go 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, so she quickly lifted her skirt and chased her out.

Looking at the background where they left, Queen Qin's face turned cold and her eyes became extremely vicious.

"I didn't expect that I would be kind to that bitch's daughter one day."

"Empress, bear it, Your Highness, said that Yu Yunxi is of great use." Madam Jiang quickly comforted her.
