Yu Yunxi looked at Yu Xiaoxiao coldly and said in an equally cold voice, “The King of Zhenbei’s Residence is so big, and I didn’t tell anyone about this. It’s natural that you don’t know about it.”

Yu Xiaoxiao froze seeing that Yu Yunxi did not spare her at all. The resentment in her heart continued to grow again.

“What happened to the thief?” Chu Yuefu asked.

“He resisted with all his might, but I killed him directly and threw his corpse into a mass grave,” Yu Yunxi replied indifferently.

Meng Xia, who was standing at the side, furrowed her brows slightly.

‘Nothing happened last night. Why did the Eldest Princess say a thief snuck in last night? In any case, I’m sure the Eldest Princess has her own reason for doing this. I just need to watch.’

Chu Yuefu said harshly, “That thief is simply audacious!”

Yu Yunxi looked at Chu Zai and slowly said, “Although the thief was despicable, he was forced to do so…

“Oh, what do you mean?” Chu Zai asked as he looked at Yu Yunxi inquisitively.

Yu Yunxi’s expression turned sorrowful as she said, “When I left the residence yesterday, I met many beggars so I gave them some silver pieces. However, due to my actions, I suspect some beggars targeted me. One of them risked his life to sneak into the residence to steal from me.’

“Sister Yunxi, even then, this is not a reason for you to sympathize with him,” Chu Yuefu said, shaking his head.

“I understand. He snuck into the residence and almost injured someone. He really deserved to die. However, when I went to investigate later, I found out that he was from Kongzhou…

Chu Zai and Chu Yuefu’s expressions changed as soon as they heard the word ‘Kongzhou’. After all, the locust plague in Kongzhou was the source of Chu Zai’s headache.

Now that there would be an inspection of the food, those people who replaced the food with stones would likely panic. They had two hours, and Yu Yunxi wanted to see how they were going to salvage the situation.

Chu Yuefu’s eyes glinted, and he said meaningfully, “Even I could see through your lies. Father must know about it as well. Aren’t you worried that he would punish you for lying?”

Yu Yunxi’s smile widened as she said, “His Majesty didn’t punish me in the end, right?”

Yu Yunxi knew from the very beginning that she could not fool the Emperor; it was also not her intention to fool the Emperor. She was betting that the Emperor cared more about the stability of the country and that he would not prioritize the country over dealing with her now. As it turned out, she made the right bet.

The Emperor had been sitting on the throne for many years. It was impossible for him to be unaware of the fact that the people from the Empress Dowager’s faction were greedy for the disaster relief funds. However, he stayed silent for so long. It was likely that he had yet to find a chance to expose those people.

As such, Yu Yunxi decided to give the Emperor this opportunity. Since she had taken the initiative, the Empress Dowager would only hate her, not the Emperor, when this matter was exposed. Not only that, but she also said that if she did not handle the matter well, she was willing to be jailed. With all these things, how could the Emperor refuse? After all, no matter the outcome, he had nothing to lose.

Chu Yuefu also thought about this, and he slowly said, “Sister Yunxi, you’re brilliant. I didn’t think of it until now…

Empress Qin said, looking distressed, “Yunxi, it’s been hard on you. You’re doing your best for the people, but the Emperor is still suspicious of you.”

Empress Qin’s concern made Yu Yunxi feel uncomfortable, but she did not show it on her face.

“In any case, you still have two hours,” Empress Qin said before she turned to Chu Yuefu and said, “Why don’t you bring Yunxi around the palace?”

Yu Yunxi frowned. However, just as she was about to refuse, Chu Yuefu had already replied.

“Yes. Sister Yunxi, please come with me.”

Although Yu Yunxi was unwilling, she still decided to follow Chu Yuefu in the end.

Yu Xiaoxiao was extremely anxious when she saw this. She did not care if it would anger Chu Yuefu or not, and she quickly lifted the hem of her dress and chased after him.

Meanwhile, Empress Qin’s gaze turned cold immediately as she watched them leave. She said through gritted teeth, “I didn’t expect there to be a day where I had to be kind to that b*tch’s daughter!”

Nanny Han quickly comforted Empress Qin, saying, “Your Majesty, please bear with it.. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said Yu Yunxi is of great use to us…”
