Chapter 354: Queen Summoned
Chapter 354 The Queen Summons
Xiao Xuan just smiled lightly and did not answer for the matter that Butler Chen was worried about.
After returning to Beijing, they hardly used the materials in the space. The batch of grain that matures every three days in the space has accumulated hundreds of stone, let alone three months, even for one year, they can afford it. .
Yin Miao went to the place where the Ye family lives now.
Ye Chanjuan did not expect Yin Miao to come. After seeing the person outside the door, Ye Chanjuan reacted for a long time before exclaiming: “Miao’er?! How are you…”
“I came to see my uncle and aunt.”
Yin Miao smiled.
“Come in, come in.”
Ye Chanjuan hurriedly opened the door, because there was a carriage outside the door, and the driver was the young man who brought them food that day.
“You’re here too? Why didn’t you tell me before you came, I’m not prepared for anything.”
After Ye Chanjuan finished speaking, she hurriedly ran into the house and called Ye Father and Mother Ye.
“She ran too fast.”
Li Tianyang pulled the carriage into the courtyard and said while sitting in front of him.
“Well, she’s always been like this.”
In her memory, Ye Chanjuan didn’t care about her image the most. She was running away for a while, and five or six people hurried to the yard behind her.
“Miss Yin, Young Master Li, fast forward and sit inside. Thanks to the two of you last time, our family was able to survive this period of time.”
Ye Chanjuan’s father, Ye Huayuan, looks much older, as does Ye’s mother.
“Uncle, you’re welcome. You and my father were friends before, and my father also asked me to try my best to take care of some of his old friends.”
Yin Miao said as she walked, Yin Bowu had indeed explained this to her.
“Why didn’t Uncle Yin go back to Beijing with Miss Yin?”
Ye Qianli is the second child of the Ye family and the only male of the Ye family.
“There are so many things in Shangyun City, plus my third aunt is pregnant, it’s inconvenient for the family to be so troubled.”
Yin Miao also recounted the situation of the Shangyuncheng family, and the Ye family were all emotional.
“The Yin family must be blessed with deep blessings and the blessings of God, so they can turn danger into danger again and again.”
Mother Ye said, who would have imagined that the exiled family could still take care of them far away in the capital?
“Uncle Ye, I have something else I want to ask you about today. If it’s inconvenient for you to tell me, it’s just as if Miao’er didn’t ask about it.”
Yin Miao said after chatting with her family for a while.
Ye Huayuan is affiliated to the Ministry of Punishment, maybe he will know some things more clearly.
“I don’t have any inconvenience now. It seems that it is time to retire and return to my hometown, but once I was demoted, the court may have removed me from my name. Miss Yin can ask anything you want, the old man must know all about it. Word.”
Ye Huayuan’s eyes were slightly red, and he still didn’t understand why he was demoted.
“Uncle Ye doesn’t have to be too sentimental, there will be a long time in the future, maybe you can return to the court.”
Yin Miao comforted for a while, Ye Huayuan looked better, Ye Chanjuan also glanced at Yin Miao gratefully, it turned out that Miaoer was so articulate.
“So what is Miss Yin asking about?”
Ye Huayuan asked.
“I want to ask Master Zheng, Zheng Shi.”
After Yin Miao finished speaking, Ye Huayuan showed a shocked expression: “Zheng Shi was greedy for the tax money. His Majesty spared his life because of his kindness. He is still in prison. How could Miss Yin ask him?”
Hearing that Zheng Shi was still in prison, Yin Miao was relieved a lot, this was not bad news. Although Zheng Feiyao wanted to follow, she was afraid that she would not complete the task and would implicate Zheng Shi, but the news could not be immediately known to her thousands of miles away.
“It’s nothing, I’m just curious. Miaoer remembers that Mr. Zheng is a clean person and praised him for the outside world.”
Yin Miao explained.
“A lot of people have died in the imperial court in the past six months. This Zheng Shi… Who knows, hey.”
Mother Ye sighed on the side that she had the same opinion as Yin Miao earlier and did not believe that people like Zheng Shi would be greedy for ink.
Ye Huayuan nodded and said, “It’s true that many people have been imprisoned for embezzlement. I don’t know if I don’t investigate, but it’s really puzzling that so many people who embezzle were found.”
“It is also possible that because of the shortage of materials in the national treasury, the emperor can only start from the direction of embezzlement.”
Ya Qianli analyzed.
“But after so many corrupt officials were found, isn’t the treasury still empty? It’s not as good as that from Shanhaizhai.”
Ye Chanjuan’s second sister-in-law disagreed and said that the treasury didn’t even give them a grain of food, so what’s the use of arresting too many corrupt officials?
“Ahui, don’t talk nonsense.”
Ye Qianli hurriedly stopped.
“Yes, Yangyang Nanxiao, there are still dozens of cities that need the help of the court, and the food in the treasury must be allocated to various places.”
Ye Huayuan also said.
Yin Miao was silent for a while after hearing this, but in the end she didn’t say anything.
The imperial court hardly ever dispatched food to the cities, Tingshi Prefecture was abandoned, and the Northern Rou army overwhelmed the territory, and those who were far away in the capital did not even know the news.
So the question is, where did the food for the imperial court go?
“I think there must be something wrong with this court, it’s not normal.”
On their way back, Li Tianyang chattered and expressed his opinions.
What the imperial court did was to make enemies of the people of Nanxiao.
“I feel the same way, too confused.”
Yin Miao frowned, even Xiao Xuan had been warned by the emperor that it was best not to mention the matter of Ting Shizhou, because the people’s hearts were in chaos, which might be detrimental to the rule of the imperial court.
“It’s better for us, the information is open and transparent.” Li Tianyang said.
The two chatted with each other to the Xuanwang Mansion. Li Tianyang saw Xiao Xuan’s carriage parked in the yard, and immediately said goodbye to Yin Miao and disappeared without a trace, as if he was afraid of meeting Xiao Xuan.
“A Miao is back.”
When Yin Miao returned to the yard, she found Xiao Xuan sitting at the stone table in her yard.
“Are you waiting for me?”
Yin Miao asked, she found that Yue’er and Xing’er were kneeling under the corridor in the distance, with tears in their eyes, as if they had been reprimanded.
“Well, the Queen Mother wants to summon you into the palace. If A Miao thinks it is inappropriate or doesn’t want to go, I will help A Miao refuse tomorrow.”
Xiao Xuan finished speaking, but found that Yin Miao froze in place.
“The queen concubine summoned me?”
Happiness came too suddenly, Yin Miao suddenly realized that this might be the time when she was closest to her mission.
“Well, it’s just what the emperor meant. The exile of the Yin family was rumored to be a misunderstanding. Coupled with the matter of Tian Qianxue, the emperor thinks that you need to be appeased.”
Xiao Xuan lifted the tea cover handed by Yunhe and said to Yin Miao.
“No need to refuse, I’m going.”
Yin Miao said firmly.
“Okay, then I will answer for A Miao, and I will accompany you to the palace that day.”
He also went to see what the above man was thinking.
“Isn’t the matter of Wen Zhuoyuan unresolved today?”
Yin Miao also told Xiao Xuan what she had inquired about Zheng Shi.
“Corrupt officials in the imperial court…there have never been so many.”
Xiao Xuan frowned and said, this is what he has been thinking about these days.
