Chapter 477: So What If I Did It?

The successive pieces of news shocked the important officials in the court again and again.

This was obviously a well-coordinated move, the purpose of which was to catch Emperor Liang off guard!
Emperor Liang was furious. "Who leaked this news? The palace just received an urgent report. How come the people knew about it before the palace?!"

No one could answer Emperor Liang’s question because they knew nothing either?
Emperor Liang looked at Yuwen Xiao, who shook his head repeatedly, "Father, I really don't know. I will report to you as soon as I get the news!"

Emperor Liang looked at Yuwen Qian again, and Yuwen Qian immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "Father, please forgive me, I haven't received any news either..."

Emperor Liang took a deep breath and clenched his fists, almost yelling at them both for being trash!
But the only two princes who can be used at the moment are Yuwen Xiao and the sixth prince Yuwen Qian.

"Investigate, investigate immediately! We must stop the unrest in the capital. I want the results of your investigation on the grain store today. Investigate immediately!!"

"Yes!"

"According to the order!"

Yuwen Xiao was dejected, and Yuwen Qian also felt uncomfortable all over.

The Dali Temple is in his hands, but how could he have the ability to do it?
He was able to do things before because of Yuwen Yan's command. He did whatever he was told to do, but now that he has been assigned this task, he doesn't know where to start.

The two of them left the hall in disgrace.

Yu Wenqian spread his hands helplessly, "What should I do? Now my second brother is the crown prince, you should give me some ideas!"

"Crown Prince? Oh, do you think I am a crown prince?" Yuwen Xiao said self-deprecatingly. But he did not stop thinking. He thought for a while and said to Yuwen Xin, "You should post the notice first. Make sure that Yuwen Xin is plotting rebellion, including the eldest princess."

"What father fears most is that someone would question his old age. How could he be bewitched and held hostage by me when he is so young and strong? This statement is extremely ridiculous."

Yu Wenqian clicked his tongue twice, "Then what? What if the people insist on opening the warehouse to buy grain?"

"..." Yuwen Xiao really didn't have any good ideas. "Catch the two troublemakers and make an example of them. Father has already sent troops to resist the foreign enemies. All food and fodder must be used for the war first. What to do next depends on Father's will. We two can't make the decision."

After hearing the last sentence, Wenjian was quite emotional. He was a person who originally just lived in Beijing and had fun, but now he had to shoulder such an important responsibility?

"Why is it that life is suddenly like nothing at all? If my second brother were still alive, he would be like this."

"Do you know how good he is now? Didn't you follow the prince around and act aggressively in the past?" Yuwen Xiao couldn't help but mock.

“Third brother, don’t be like a crow standing on a pig. You can only see the blackness of others but not your own.” Yu Wenqian said dimly.

"..."

"Okay, let's get to work. If we can't do this well, both of our heads will be in danger." Yuwen Xiao really didn't have the confidence to refute. He just felt that his brain might have eaten shit at that time.

"Then what are you going to do, third brother?" Yu Wenqian couldn't help but ask.

The first person Yu Wenxiao thought of was Ye Qingyou. "I'll go see Uncle Pan Sisheng and see if he can provide any support from the grain and grass..."

Yu Wenqian didn't know that the person behind the scenes was Ye Qingyou. After hearing this, he nodded and quickly rushed to catch the person.

Yuwen Xiao did not go looking for him in a high-profile manner, but instead replaced the prince's servant and secretly left through a small door.

When he heard that the grain shop was closing and the price was rising, the first person he thought of was Ye Qingyou. She had already agreed not to help Yu Wenxin, could it be that she suddenly changed her mind?
But doesn't she have a grudge against the eldest princess? Even if she is the tallest among the short ones, she should be biased towards this side! "I said I won't help Yu Wenxin, but I didn't say I won't make money from the palace!"

Ye Qingyou was answering the old prince's words at this time. He was wondering about the same question as Yuwen Xiao.

"Father, we have been very generous. They have been buying grain at high prices, but I refused to let you sell it."

"We didn't make any profit from that sky-high price of silver. I just raised the grain price in the capital by 30%. You have no reason to accuse us of being greedy." Ye Qingyou said slowly and leisurely.

Since Ye Qingyou heard from the north a few days ago that Yuwen Xin was buying grain at a high price, he knew that war was coming.

She calculated the date and raised the price of grain in order to take revenge on Emperor Liang. It was he who forced Yuwen Yan away and almost killed him!
He watched the Crown Prince try to kill Yuwen Yan and did nothing, and tacitly allowed Princess Xi to harm her, completely ignoring the child in her belly.

For such a person, it was a great blessing for her to just cheat him of some money.

No matter how much money she had added to the Daliang royal family, she must take it back without hesitation!
The old prince saw the anger in her eyes and knew that there was no way to persuade her. "If he knew that you were behind it, how would you deal with it? He is no longer the same person as before."

"Internal rebellion and foreign invasion. Even if His Majesty knows it's me, he won't turn against me at this time." Ye Qingyou has already calculated the rhythm of Emperor Liang. He is arrogant and even narcissistic, but he will never allow his throne to be lost in the slightest.

The old prince thought for a moment and nodded, "You two can do whatever you want. Hey, this old man doesn't know what's going on..."

As they were talking, they heard that Yuwen Xiao had arrived.

"Only himself?" Pan Sisheng was a little surprised. "He came really quickly. He hasn't left the court yet, has he?"

"It was just His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, and he came in from the corner door." Chen Liuer coughed lightly twice.

Ye Qingyou raised an eyebrow, then laughed out loud, "It looks like they are here to question us."

The old prince simply asked Uncle Weng to push him back inside to rest, without saying a single word.

Pan Sisheng shrugged, "I'll go deal with it?"

Ye Qingyou shook his head. "Just invite them over. Some things are better explained clearly. The two little guys in my stomach don't like to hear nonsense. Every time we're fighting, they kick me hard. I don't know who they inherited this habit from."

Pan Sisheng was speechless. Who else could he follow?
Of course it was Yuwen Yan, the evil star who would pick up a knife and kill people at any time.

But he didn't have time to complain at the moment, so he asked Chen Liuer to invite Yuwen Xiao in.

As soon as Yuwen Xiao entered the yard, Ye Qingyou told him exactly what he had said to the old prince.

"…Your Highness the Crown Prince knows how His Majesty treats Yan'er. The relationship between father and son cannot be made up by money, but it is better than no money at all."

"And it's not a bad thing to let His Majesty sober up. After all, Daliang can do without anyone except Yuwen Yan."

"I worked like a slave and was exhausted, and I was blamed for everything. Does that mean good people have to suffer? Your Highness can go back and tell His Majesty directly that I will definitely make a profit from this money."

"And not only will the price of food not fall, it will rise tomorrow."

"The children in my belly will not allow their father to be bullied. Your Majesty, please make a decision as soon as possible on what to do."
