The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 183: Princess Mingyue

It is said that he does not care about this lost and found daughter, but he always acts like he cares about her in front of her. It is said that he cares about this daughter, but he always fails at the critical moment.

He was the lord of a prefecture, and Yanling Prefecture was his territory. His daughter was in prison, and he couldn't confront Shangguan head-on. Couldn't he just tidy up the cell in private and let his own people take care of his daughter? Why did he end up being searched by the jailer, giving Wang Wengui the opportunity to take advantage of him?

Yun Zhonghe sighed faintly: "Girl Yue, you had a rough childhood and few relatives, so don't expect too much."

Yan Xiuyuan: ...

Doctor Mao: "Let's go! Let's go home and get rid of the bad luck."

Looking at Jian Yue's receding back, Yan Xiuyuan clearly felt that his daughter had become much colder towards him.

Muxiang prepared mugwort water in advance, and waited for Jian Yue and others to come home to get rid of the bad luck.

Jian Yue went to the wine shop to check and found that in addition to a jar of wine that was poisoned, several two-jin jars of Yanlingchun were missing.

Jian Yue asked Muxiang to find pen and ink, wrote a list, and asked Fu Wu to deliver it to Ji Yunzhong.

Ji Yunzhong, who had just returned to the mansion, twitched his lips when he saw Jian Yue's list.

The little girl's heart is still not cruel enough.

He asked Fulang to rewrite the list.

The list of losses written by Jian Yue included: ten jars of second-grade Yanlingchun wine weighing two kilograms, one jar of third-grade Yanlingchun wine, a damaged counter, and some wine utensils.

Fu Lang rewrote a copy: 100 jars of first-grade Yanlingchun ( jin), jars of second-grade Yanlingchun ( jin), and two jars of third-grade Yanlingchun (each jar weighing jin). Five thousand taels of silver notes and eight hundred taels of broken silver were lost.

"Go and deliver it to Mansion Master Yan." Ji Yunzhong ordered.

Fulang agreed and walked out of the room.

Ji Yun changed his clothes again and took Fu Hu to Yue's house in a carriage.

Jian Yue ordered the servants to clean up the shop. All the wines were opened for inspection, and after confirming that there were no problems, they were resealed.

Just as she finished her work, Ji Yunzhong came. In order to let Jian Yue forget the unpleasant experience today, he brought her good news: "I have reported your selling grain at a low price to help the victims during the snowstorm. The prince will strive for some rewards for you. You should prepare the incense table in advance to welcome the imperial edict."

Since Ji Yunzhong dared to say this, it seemed that the reward was already a foregone conclusion. The only thing was that I didn't know what the emperor would reward him with.

Ji Yunzhong deliberately kept the story in suspense and didn't give out any spoilers.

Although Jian Yue was curious, she couldn't muster up any interest because of what happened today, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Divine Doctor Mao handed a written letter to Ji Yunzhong: "Pass it to your father. The old man is really useless. Anyone dares to bully me. The old man plans to summon the disciples of the Divine Doctor Sect to return to the mountain to improve their medical skills."

There are not many disciples in the Divine Doctor Sect, but all of them are famous doctors in their areas. There are three in the Imperial Medical Bureau alone, and one of them is the highest official of the Imperial Medical Bureau, the Director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

When Doctor Mao said this, his dissatisfaction was evident. As long as the current emperor valued him as a miracle doctor, he would take care of his feelings.

"Don't worry, Mr. Mao. I guarantee it will be delivered to you within one day."

As a prince, Ji Yunzhong should not intervene too much. But Doctor Mao did not have this concern. Moreover, some words are more appropriate for Doctor Mao, the victim, to say than Ji Yunzhong. For example, Xue Guangen, he was also involved in the poisoned wine case. But with the protection of the second prince, his punishment will definitely be lenient. But if Doctor Mao's appeal reaches the emperor's case, Xue Guangen, a third-rank official, will not be able to keep his official hat.

In order to make the poisoned wine case bigger and expand the impact as much as possible, Xue Guangen sent a message to Shangjing less than half an hour after the poisoned wine case occurred. After receiving the message, the second prince immediately spread the news that Yanling Mansion had poisoned people to death. As a result, in less than a day, almost everyone in Shangjing knew that the new magic wine Yanlingchun had poisoned people to death.

Upon hearing the news, the prince, who was recuperating from illness, immediately went to the palace.

By the evening, a secret letter along with Doctor Mao's appeal arrived in the emperor's hands.

After reading the confession and the appeal letter from Dr. Mao, Emperor Jingzhen was furious: "Asshole! For a winemaking recipe, they killed more than a dozen people and even tried to frame Dr. Mao and the heroes who saved the victims. These people are so greedy that they have no bottom line at all. Call the second son and ask him, how poor is he that he would reach out to Yanling Mansion?"

Seeing that the emperor was furious, Eunuch Fu, the chief eunuch in front of Emperor Jingzhen, carefully advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't get so angry that your body gets damaged. Drink some ginseng tea to moisten your throat." He gently poured a cup of ginseng tea for Emperor Jingzhen.

Emperor Jingzhen took a sip of ginseng tea, but still couldn't quench the anger in his chest: "Draft an imperial decree. Inspector Xue Guangen broke the law knowingly and was not upright. He should be stripped of his post as censor and demoted to southern Fujian. Lieutenant General Shen Pengfei was demoted to Lieutenant General and fined one year's salary. Co-magistrate Meng Yunchang and magistrate Wang Jinbao privately raised assassins and robbed people. Their crimes are extremely serious. Their entire clan should be exiled. All men over the age of 15 should be tattooed and exiled to Mozhou."

When the second prince hurried into the palace, the imperial edict of Emperor Jingzhen had already been drafted. As soon as he stepped into the imperial study, a teacup flew towards him and smashed his forehead.

Three days later, officials from the Ministry of Justice and the eunuchs who delivered the imperial edict arrived at Yanling Prefecture together.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Yan Yue, daughter of the Yan family, is intelligent and clever, has both moral integrity and talent, has contributed advanced agricultural tools, has helped disaster victims, and has made contributions to the country. She is granted the title of Princess Mingyue. She is given a fief of 200 households, 100 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 10 bolts of silk and satin, and two sets of pearl headwear. This is hereby announced to the world, and all shall hear of it and do this!"

"Thank you, Lord! Long live the emperor! Long, long live the emperor!" Jian Yue stood up and respectfully took the imperial edict with both hands.

"Congratulations to County Princess Mingyue. Congratulations to County Princess Mingyue." Xiao Guizi, the apprentice of Eunuch Fu, said with a smile.

"Thank you, Eunuch Gui. You must have worked hard on the journey! I have prepared some simple meals for you. I hope you and the others will not mind." Jian Yue was dignified and polite, without any timidity of a young woman. Her performance amazed Eunuch Gui.

A woman who grew up in the countryside, her words and deeds are very appropriate and she should not be underestimated.

Normally, the eunuch would leave immediately after delivering the imperial edict. But Emperor Jingzhen had other instructions, so Eunuch Gui stayed.

When Yun Zhonghe raised his head, a look of surprise flashed in Eunuch Gui's eyes.

The group was invited to sit in the living room.

Muxiang brought the Sibao tea to the table.

Eunuch Gui and his companions had been traveling non-stop all the way and were very tired. But after drinking a cup of tea, they felt that all the fatigue in their bodies disappeared.

Eunuch Gui was very surprised: "Dr. Mao, what kind of tea is this? It's so magical?"

Doctor Mao said proudly: "This is the Four Treasures Tea prepared by my disciple Yue Yatou. It has a very obvious effect in eliminating fatigue."

Eunuch Gui nodded repeatedly...
