Chapter 466 I'm here to see Ye Qingyou
Emperor Liang did not promise not to kill Ye Qingyou until he left.

But he understood that what the old prince said was very right, and the first thing he did when he returned to the palace was to order an official announcement to be made that the crown prince had passed away and that the East Palace should be buried with him.

There was an uproar in the court for a while, but after all, Emperor Liang had killed so many people from the Eastern Palace that even though the court officials felt sympathetic, they did not dare to say anything and could only go about their business with their tails between their legs.

Afterwards, medicinal materials were brought into Beijing, and grain and fodder were provided for disaster relief.

After these two things were done, it seemed that Daliang had regained its peace.

The first snow of winter seemed to wash away the bloody smell that had seeped into the land of Daliang.

People got up early to work and went home at night as usual. The knife-wielding clash and the river of blood two months ago seemed like a storyteller's play. People had heard about it and no one mentioned it again.

Ye Qingyou's belly has been over five months old and is incredibly big.

Now, not only Doctor Lu was looking after her, but Liang Yuxian also had to come to greet her and take her pulse every day, and then return to the palace to report to Emperor Liang.

Ye Qingyou felt a little tired when she got up in the morning, so she was carried out to the yard to bask in the sun while reading the letters from Uncle Dong and others in the distance.

More than two months later, Uncle Dong had already settled Ye Mingyuan and Ye Jingzhi, while Xia Ying, Qiu He and others had already started preparing their own businesses and were ready to take root in Luo State.

And Gong Shangjun has also rushed to the grain-producing area.

Gong Chuge already has control over medicinal materials in Tengzhou and is expanding outward.

……

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Pan Sisheng quickly got into the role, constantly going in and out of the palace, and transformed himself into the chief tribute of several major imperial merchants. He was doing very well in the capital.

But Ye Qingyou also calculated that Emperor Liang would issue a wanted order, announcing to the world that Yuwen Yan must be captured, and also abolish the Tingyin Pavilion.

In fact, anyone who cares understands that this is just what happens on the surface.

All the secret files of Tingyin Pavilion that were unknown to outsiders were in the hands of Emperor Liang’s secret guards and were no longer controlled by outsiders.

"Father...are you calling me?" Yuwen Xiao had been running around a lot these days. The death of the crown prince had made him not dare to slack off in the slightest, even though he had been slacking off before. He had to behave himself properly.

Emperor Liang nodded and said, "Let me tell you, do you agree to this matter or not?" He handed a memorial to Yuwen Xiao.

Yuwen Xiao’s eyes widened.

He took the memorial and read it, then swallowed his saliva, "It seems there is no reason to refuse? After all, they are the imperial aunt and little cousin, it is reasonable for them to return to the capital to mourn the imperial grandmother."

The memorial was delivered by the eldest princess who was far away.

She hoped to return to Beijing to observe a hundred-day mourning period for the Empress Dowager, and then return to her distant place to settle down.

In fact, this memorial had been here for a long time, but Emperor Liang had never been in the mood to pay attention to it before.

Emperor Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Do you think you should agree?"

Yuwen Xiao's mind sank, "Then what father means is..." How dare he have his own opinion?

Emperor Liang's face fell instantly, "I am asking what you mean."

Yuwen Xiao took a deep breath and said, "I think I can agree to it, but I will just observe the mourning period for 100 days as requested in the memorial. After the 100 days, I will send someone to send my aunt back..."

The reason why Emperor Liang was able to drive the eldest princess away was because she wanted to interfere in and manipulate state affairs.

This is the Liang Emperor's weak spot, and no one can touch it. The Liang Emperor seemed very satisfied with his proposal, and just nodded casually, "Then go ahead and do it."

"Yes." Yuwen Xiao agreed quickly.

"By the way, let your mother dine with me later."

Yuwen Xiao had already retreated to the door when Emperor Liang suddenly added this sentence.

Yuwen Xiao felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He could only agree quickly and leave quickly.

He went straight to Concubine Xian's palace and told her what Emperor Liang meant, "Mother, do you think that father is..." intending to choose him as the crown prince?
Yuwen Xiao naturally didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence, but the complexity, cowardice and expectation in his eyes had already written these words in large letters.

Xian Fei was stunned for a long while, "Your Majesty is not young anymore, it is only a matter of time before he establishes another imperial palace."

"But...but I really am..." Yuwen Xiao didn't know whether he should be concerned about this matter.

In fact, he really wanted to sit in that position, but he knew that there were tens of thousands of sharp knives lying there, and he would probably face death if he sat there.

Who wouldn't want to become the ruler of a country one day? But Yuwen Xiao knew that he didn't have the ability, it was just an opportunity that suddenly appeared.

The virtuous concubine did not allow him to think too much, "At this time, you must only follow His Majesty's orders and never show any thoughts, understand?"

"I know. I don't want to die so early." Yuwen Xiao shook his head and put aside his fantasy. "You must also remember not to talk to Your Majesty about anything related to court affairs. Even if your father mentions it, you must pretend not to understand and never say anything."

The mother and son gave each other half-comments.

Xian Fei nodded immediately and glanced at Nan Chuyin who was standing aside, "Especially you, don't tell anyone else what I'm saying, or I'll take you first!"

"I know, I know. When did I ever say anything too much?" Nan Chuyin was imagining that maybe one day she could become the queen?

But when she thought about how tragically the queen died, she didn't think there was any benefit.

"But His Majesty agreed to let the eldest princess and Princess Xi come back. Is he targeting Ye Qingyou? They have a grudge against each other, and it seems that no one can touch Ye Qingyou now, but in fact she has no one to rely on." Nan Chuyin did not have too many ambitions and fantasies. She was more concerned about the fight between the female members of the family.

Concubine Xian was also a little puzzled, "So does His Majesty want to take Ye Qingyou? I really don't understand at all."

"The emperor may be in a state of uncertainty, so you'd better not make random guesses." Yuwen Xiao naturally knew more. Emperor Liang went to see the old prince once, and thus solved the problem of medicinal materials and food.

Do we still have to rely on Pan Sisheng?

Obviously this prodigal son can't do that.

So it can only be that Ye Qingyou spent a lot of money to buy his life, and Yuwen Xiao also knew that the Gong family in Tengzhou had been under Ye Qingyou's control, and this young lady was definitely not an ordinary person...

Concubine Xian and Nan Chuyin agreed and watched from the sidelines in a low-key manner, which was unprecedented.

Half a month later, the eldest princess and Princess Xi once again stepped into the city gate to return to Beijing.

Princess Xi got off the carriage and looked at the city gate tower that soared into the clouds with a complicated look in her eyes. "When I was young, I saw it and it was inconspicuous. I didn't seem to notice its existence. I didn't expect it to be so tall."

"Okay, we still have to go to the palace to pay our respects to His Majesty. Don't delay any longer." The eldest princess hurriedly urged as she rushed to the palace.

Princess Xi slowly lowered her head.

She looked at the soil under her feet. "Is paying respects so important? I'm not here to mourn my grandmother. I'm here to see Ye Qingyou..."
