Chapter 199 But It's Their Back-up
The news that Mo Yuchen was thrown into prison by Mo Cheng directly during the court session spread throughout the capital immediately after the court session ended.
Xia Yanxiang was so shocked that she dropped her teacup in the Right Prime Minister's residence: "So fast?!"
Yu Kui got the news in advance and told Xia Yanxiang: "The Ministry of Revenue has been slow to come up with the funds for the flood in Jiangnan and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works are pressing hard. His Royal Highness Prince Luo is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and has the power to mobilize funds. The Emperor pointed out on the spot that the seal of Prince Luo was lost, so..."
Xia Yanxiang frowned and stroked her tea-soaked hands: "Don't make this public for now."
Although Xia Yanxiang was well prepared, she didn't expect that Mo Cheng would actually throw Mo Chen into jail on the spot.
In his previous life, not many people knew about the loss of Mo Yuchen's Fallen King Seal, and he was not thrown into jail. This life is so different from his previous life, and I don't know whether it is good or bad.
Xia Yanxiang's face looked very ugly, and Yukui couldn't help asking: "Miss, are we not going to do anything?"
"Yeah, do nothing."
Yukui didn't ask any more questions and went downstairs.
"Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Luo has been thrown into jail. What should you do now?" Yu Kui left, but An Zhi and Ting Lan were still asking.
Although Xia Yanxiang's face was gloomy, she was not in a hurry: "Then tell me, what should I do?"
Anzhi and Tinglan looked at each other, and Anzhi spoke first: "Why aren't you in a hurry at all? Something happened to His Royal Highness Prince Luo, especially the loss of the seal of power in the Ministry of Revenue. What if, what if he is stripped of his title in the future?"
What Anzhi didn't say was, if Prince Luo was deposed and became a commoner, what would happen to the young lady's marriage?
There is an even more dangerous thing. What if His Royal Highness Prince Luo is beheaded by the Emperor?
Xia Yanxiang felt uncomfortable with the tea stains on her hands, so she stood up and washed her hands: "Is it useful for me to be anxious? Can I get Prince Luo out of the Dali Temple right now if I'm anxious?"
That's true, but logically speaking, shouldn't Miss go to find the uncle and the eldest son now? At least she can ask them to help His Royal Highness Prince Luo.
"Don't worry, Prince Luo is accompanied by Prince Yu and Concubine Su, so it's not our turn to help yet." Xia Yanxiang said slowly.
Xia Yanxiang didn't seem to be very worried about the safety of His Royal Highness Prince Luo. For some reason, Anzhi and Tinglan always felt that their young lady didn't care that much about His Royal Highness Prince Luo.
"Second brother has been locked up?!" Mo Yuanli was sent to Concubine Su by Shen Zhe two days ago. After the court session today, he heard from the servants that Mo Yuchen had been locked up.
After hearing this, Mo Yuanli immediately prepared to go to the Yangxin Palace to find Mo Cheng, but was stopped by Concubine Su.
"What can you do now?" Concubine Su stopped Mo Yuanli, "Your second brother has been thrown into prison because of the Ministry of Revenue's poor governance. Can you change this fact by going there?"
"What's more, do you have any evidence? Can you rescue your second brother now?" Concubine Su's series of questions left Mo Yuanli speechless.
"Are we just going to watch our second brother being wrongly accused?" Mo Yuanli was unwilling to accept this. Didn't they know what kind of person Mo Yuchen was? How could he embezzle the treasury silver from the Ministry of Revenue? !
Concubine Su's expression was also very unpleasant: "Wait a little longer, even though your father has put Yu An in jail, he only suspects that his seal of the king has been stolen, but he has no evidence. Before he finds out the truth, your father will not make any punishment for Yu An."
Mo Yuanli then reluctantly gave up the idea of rushing to save Mo Yuchen right now: "Then mother, what should we do now?"
"We can all guess who framed your second brother. The best thing to do now is to wait and see what they want to do."
"What else can they want to do?! They are bent on overthrowing Second Brother and our Anyue Palace. This time they have finally caught Second Brother's handle. They will definitely not let Father release Second Brother easily!" Mo Yuanli knew what Mo Yuyang and the others wanted to do without even thinking about it, and said unhappily.
"So, now we know what they will do next, right?" Although Concubine Su was also very worried about Mo Yuchen being arrested and taken to the Dali Temple, since she couldn't rescue Mo Yuchen at the moment, she could only confront him head-on.
"You will temporarily live in Anyue Palace these days. Shen Zhe is in Xihe Mansion, so you don't have to worry about him."
Mo Yuanli immediately understood why Shen Zhe wanted to send her back to Anyue Palace: "No wonder Shen Zhe wanted to send me back! It turns out that he had colluded with my second brother!"
"Shen Zhe understands your temper and knows that you will impulsively go to the Yangxin Palace to find your father. Now you live in Anyue Palace, at least I can stop you. If you were in Xihe Mansion, Shen Zhe would not be able to stop you at all!" Shen Zhe had already taken precautions for Concubine Su, so Concubine Su was not so worried.
Mo Yuanli curled his lips in dissatisfaction, snorted, and said nothing.
"You still have Che'er to protect, so leave your second brother's affairs to Yu Zhan and Shen Zhe!" Concubine Su was not thinking about protecting Mo Yuanli wholeheartedly, but Mo Yuanli now had concerns and could not give up easily.
"Besides, if something really happens in the future, Shen Zhe will definitely not be able to represent you in full. After all, you are the head of Xihe Mansion." Concubine Su and Mo Yuchen have made long-term preparations, and Mo Yuanli is their backup.
Mo Yuanli then calmed down reluctantly.
"How is it?" Mo Yufeng had already made preparations and asked Chu Qiu to check the Ministry of Revenue's affairs.
"Everything is ready, but will the emperor let you take over the Ministry of Revenue?" Chu Qiu was a little worried. Although Mo Yufeng and Mo Yuchen's plan was perfect, Mo Cheng was suspicious and might not agree. "What's more, His Royal Highness Prince Yuan would not easily hand over the Ministry of Revenue to you."
Mo Yufeng was not worried about this, as Mo Yuchen had already discussed the specific matters with him before: "Don't worry, the Ministry of Revenue is now leaderless, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works are anxious to allocate funds. Father will soon order someone to take over."
"What's more, even if Prince Yuan doesn't agree, my father won't allow him to take over the Ministry of Revenue." Mo Yufeng is indeed young, but that doesn't mean he knows nothing.
"Prince Yuan is already the heir and the eldest. The purpose of promoting Prince Luo was to balance Prince Yuan's power and prestige in the court. Now that Prince Luo has suddenly fallen, how could Father allow Prince Yuan's family to dominate alone?"
Chu Qiu was silent.
In fact, Mo Cheng's fair treatment of Prince Yuan and Prince Luo was all out of the maintenance of his own imperial power. Only by allowing the two princes, who were at the peak of their powers, to share equal power and compete with each other could the balance be maintained.
