After rebirth, I became Little Marquis’s Bai Yueguang

After Nanguan finished speaking, Xiao Yunyue glanced at the hourglass on the side. It was already midnight, and the key to the palace door had already been locked.

Although Xiao Yunyue has a token on his body, and he can enter the palace directly even if he gives the key, Xiao Yunyue has not been able to use it a few times since he was given the token.

It was rare for the emperor to summon him urgently at such a moment. The last time the emperor intended to send troops to Rouran was after he ascended the throne.

The eldest princess of Jinyang and mother and son Xiao Yunyue looked at each other, and they both understood that this urgent call must be related to the Anping County Prince's Palace and the Lin'an Prince's Palace transporting copper to the grassland.

Xiao Yunyue pondered for a while and said slowly: "I'm afraid it's someone from Jizhou."

After he returned to Beijing a few days ago, he handed over the information about Duanzhou, but he did not expect that Jizhou would move so quickly.

Since it is an urgent summons from the Emperor, there is no need to delay. The eldest princess straightened the hem of his clothes for her son who had already stood up and urged: "Since His Majesty has urgently summoned him, don't delay. Go quickly."

Xiao Yunyue nodded and said: "Mother should go to bed earlier. I may stay in the palace today."

The eldest princess of Jinyang said hello, but couldn't help teasing her son: "I guess the guy from Jizhou is your future uncle."

Xiao Yunyue guessed the same. After all, there was no more suitable candidate in Jizhou than Yuan Lingheng to report this matter to the emperor. When the emperor ordered him to concurrently serve as city magistrate, it was just for today.

The emperor cherishes talents, and Emperor Jingyuan will definitely not let someone like Yuan Lingheng stay away from home for a long time to join the army.

This time he was placed in Jizhou. It was obvious that the emperor wanted to use this matter to test Yuan Lingheng. If this errand goes well, the emperor will definitely promote him to the capital.

In the future, Yuan Lingheng's official career will most likely be like that of his uncle Pei Zhao, who worked in the capital for a few years, then was released from the capital to take charge of one side for experience, and was eventually promoted to the sixth department.

The only difference was that Yuan Lingheng was born in a noble family and had a title, which made him irrelevant to the cabinet.

Thinking of how much Yuan Lingheng valued this sister, Xiao Yunyue felt a little guilty for no reason. After all, Yuan Lingheng should know nothing about what happened between him and Yuan Miaoyi at this time.

But this was not the time to think about these things. Xiao Yunyue went back to the study to pack some things and rushed to the palace.

It was already the curfew time. If Xiao Yunyue rode a horse, everyone in the capital would know tomorrow that the emperor had urgently summoned him late at night, so Xiao Yunyue could only walk there.

Fortunately, the Hou Mansion is not too far from the palace city, and Xiao Yunyue's pace is not slow.

However, when he arrived, the palace servants waiting for him at the palace gate were already so anxious that they were getting angry.

"Master Marquis, you are finally here." The palace man wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Your Majesty is already in the South Study."

Xiao Yunyue was more familiar with the road to Nan Study than the road home. When he opened the door, he found that the person from Jizhou was indeed Yuan Lingheng.

Not only Yuan Lingheng, but also Shangshu and Zhongshu Ling were also in the study. Such a large study seemed a bit cramped.

There was a map hanging in the middle of the study. When Emperor Jingyuan saw Xiao Yunyue coming in, he said, "You are here just in time. I am just talking about Duanzhou. Come and tell all the affairs of Duanzhou to all my dear friends."

Xiao Yunyue had made full preparations before entering the palace. Seeing the emperor's appearance, he immediately became serious.

Transmitting copper to the grassland is not something that can be solved by confiscating the homes of Anping County Prince's Mansion and Lin'an Bo's Mansion.

This matter affects the whole body. There must be wealthy families and officials in the border states involved in this matter. Otherwise, these two families alone will never be able to accomplish this matter.

Just looking at the people present tonight, except for Yuan Lingheng, who is from Jizhou, the rest are all powerful people in the court who secretly entered the palace under the order, and we can know how seriously Emperor Jing Yuan attaches to this matter.

The door of the south study room slowly closed, and all the palace residents retreated ten feet away. A thick dark cloud enveloped the palace city. "The wind is picking up." Yuan Miaoyi opened the window, and the night wind blew her hair a little messy. It was obviously early summer, but the wind blowing in front of us felt a bit cool.

Aunt Cui found a thin blouse and put it on Yuan Miaoyi: "Girl, the weather is going to change. Don't stand in front of the window like this. Getting cold is no joke."

Yuan Miaoyi only gathered her blouse, and then asked Aunt Cui: "Have you received any reply to the letter you wrote to your brother last time?"

Aunt Cui thought about it carefully and said, "Not yet. Maybe the prince is too busy recently and has no time to reply to you."

Yuan Miaoyi shook her head and said quietly: "I think brother may have returned to Beijing." Aunt Cui was a little surprised: "How does the girl know?"

"Guess." Yuan Miaoyi smiled, turned back to look at Aunt Cui and said, "I have a premonition in my heart."

Yuan Miaoyi really didn't talk nonsense this time. Perhaps it was because they were biological siblings, but there was another wonderful connection between Yuan Miaoyi and Yuan Lingheng.

And she has always been a little uneasy lately, feeling that something big is about to happen. And no matter how busy Yuan Lingheng was, he would never forget to send her a letter home, only sometimes it would be a few days late.

After so many days without reply, there was only one possibility, that is, Yuan Lingheng could not reply to her at this time.

"Let Bai Zhi and the others clean up my brother's yard properly." Yuan Miaoyi gently closed the window and turned her head and said, "I'm afraid that my brother will be back soon."

The candles in the south study room of the palace were lit all night, and it was not until dawn that the discussion among everyone came to an end.

Emperor Jingyuan asked the palace servants to give everyone some snacks. Everyone except Xiao Yunyue looked a little tired.

Especially Yuan Lingheng, who came by water with the evidence found in Jizhou, he had to be careful at all times on the way.

As soon as he arrived in the capital, he went directly to the palace without even returning home. After talking all night again, Yuan Lingheng could still maintain the dignity of the face saint, but the bloodshot eyes under his eyes already showed his fatigue.

Taking advantage of this moment of rest, Xiao Yunyue asked in a low voice next to him: "Does the Second Lady know about your return?"

Yuan Lingheng's voice was also a little tired: "You shouldn't know that I didn't send any news to her all the way back."

That is to say, Yuan Lingheng was too tired at this moment, and his brain was a little unable to react. Otherwise, he would definitely wonder why Xiao Yunyue asked him like this.

Before the two exchanged a few words, Emperor Jingyuan looked over.

"Yuan Qing, I see your face. You have worked hard these days." Emperor Jing Yuan's face was rare and kind: "During your absence in the capital, many things happened at home. Next, you will be in the capital." Have a good rest at home for a few days."

It can be said that Yuan Lingheng's mission was very successful.

Not only did we obtain evidence from the Anping County Prince's Mansion and Lin'an Bo's Mansion, both privately and outside the customs, we also obtained a list of the wealthy families and officials involved, with corresponding evidence attached at the end of the list.

When playing against Emperor Jingyuan, Yuan Lingheng was also able to explain Jizhou border cities and other government affairs in great detail, making him a good handler at first glance.

Not to mention the close relationship between Zhongshu Ling and Yuan Lingheng, the servants on the left and right couldn't hide their admiration when looking at Yuan Lingheng. Emperor Jingyuan had always been very tolerant of talented people.

After Yuan Lingheng thanked the emperor, he was led out of the palace by the palace servants. The rest of them were also busy with government affairs, so Emperor Jingyuan also asked them to leave first.

After everyone had left, Emperor Jingyuan looked at Xiao Yunyue and snorted: "You can come with me. The Queen said that she hasn't seen you for a while. You should finish your meal in the palace before going back."
