Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 255: The Fake Imperial Seal Incident

"Grandma, which princess do you think is the most beautiful in the world? I was shocked at first sight. She is really beautiful, but after looking at her for a whole night, I feel tired of her. It's just like that. After looking at her for a long time, I think the Crown Princess is more beautiful."

"Grandma, do you think Fourth Uncle has taken a fancy to Princess Yurong? Will Fourth Uncle go to Changchun Palace tonight?"

"You have so many things on your mind. You even dare to worry about your fourth uncle's affairs? Although you call him fourth uncle, he is the emperor. You should stop worrying about the royal family's affairs." Ke Mucheng warned.

"I'm just talking to grandma in private. I never say these things outside." Yang Shuangshuang hugged Ke Muqing's arm and acted coquettishly, "I'm mainly worried about the queen. I don't know whether the emperor likes Princess Yurong, but the queen definitely doesn't like Princess Yurong."

"Don't worry, the emperor is giving the Great Jin Princess the greatest honor by conferring the title of Zhaoyi. The emperor will definitely not go to any of the newlyweds tonight and will only stay in the Queen's palace."

Ke Mucheng was right. For several days, the emperor seemed to have forgotten that there was a new person in the harem and stayed at the Queen's place.

The Jin envoys were so angry that they sent Princess Yurong to marry the emperor. They originally wanted to win the position of imperial concubine and persuade the emperor, but they never expected that this beauty trap would fail halfway.

Rong Zhaoyi had been in the harem for several days but had not even seen the emperor. The Jin envoys had not heard the news that Rong Zhaoyi was favored by the emperor until they left the capital.

But no one expected that the Jin delegation would still have evil intentions after leaving and would try to create unrest.

The delegations left Beijing one after another within a month, and the Great Jin delegation was the last group to leave. As soon as the Great Jin delegation left Beijing, rumors began to spread in the capital.

Rumor has it that the imperial seal in the palace is cracked because God looks down on the new emperor who came from a humble background.

This imperial seal has been passed down from dynasty to dynasty, and the people sitting on the throne have changed countless times, but the imperial seal has always been in use, and nothing has ever happened to it.

But now, only a few years after he took the throne, the jade seal has cracked. That's because too many lives and the blood of too many royal family members are on his hands. Even God can't stand it anymore and even God does not approve of this new emperor.

There are even rumors that if he continues to sit on the throne, the country will sooner or later fall into chaos again, and God will sooner or later bring down punishment, and then the common people will be the ones who suffer.

There are even rumors that the royal family of the previous dynasty is the true royal family recognized by God.

After this rumor spread for a few days, it was also reported that the Great Jin had a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty who had fallen into the common people. The descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty was hypocritical, honest, and extremely intelligent.

The words used to describe the descendants of the royal family of the previous dynasty seemed to use all the good words possible.

During those days, Ke Mucheng was busy discussing the marriage of Yang Shuangshuang and Li Yu with the Li family, and was also busy preparing for the marriage of Yang Wenxiao and Yang Xiu'e, so she was too busy to wander around the streets. When she heard these rumors, it was from Ke Xiucai when his family came to the capital.

Yang Yi was working in the capital, Yang Fuer's brother was also there, and Yang Shuangshuang was also going to marry in the capital, so Ke Mucheng wrote a letter asking everyone in the Ke family who was free to come to the capital. She had no plans to leave the capital in the next few years.

As soon as Mr. Ke arrived, he immediately took Ke Mucheng to the study to discuss things, talking about what he had heard and seen on the way to the capital.

If there is one thing that is the most difficult to control in this world, it must be the people's mouths.

It is the most difficult to control what people say in the community, and Yang Erzhu is not a tyrant, so he cannot commit violence and kill people to vent his anger just because of a few words from the community. If he really does that, he will have fallen into the trap of the villain.

"Have you given the imperial seal to Yang Daniu?" Even though there was no one else in the study, Ke Xiucai subconsciously lowered his voice when he mentioned the imperial seal. Ke Muqing shook his head, "Not yet, what's wrong?"

After meeting Yang Erzhu, Ke Mucheng made a lot of money from Yang Erzhu. Later, the jade seal was placed in the system warehouse by her and was neither put on the shelf nor sold.

At first I was too busy to think about the seal, and later I even forgot about it.

If Mr. Ke had not mentioned the imperial seal today, she might have to wait until the day she returned to remember that she still had a imperial seal in her hand that she had not sold yet.

When Ke Xiucai heard Ke Mucheng ask this, he knew that she didn't know the rumors circulating in the community, so he sat down and told Ke Mucheng in detail what he had heard along the way.

"No wonder I heard Chuxue say that his father was in a bad mood recently. I didn't expect so many things to happen recently, and they were actually related to the Jade Seal."

Ke Muqing slapped his head and said, "After the Second Pillar ascended the throne, he continued the custom of previous dynasties and did not change the imperial seal. He still used the imperial seal that had been passed down for hundreds of years. The imperial seal in the palace is a fake one. It was probably forged in a hurry. It was not obvious that it was fake after using it for a period of time. It is normal for it to be discovered after using it for a long time."

"I just didn't expect that someone would make such a big fuss about the fake imperial seal. I guess there are spies from the Jin Dynasty in the palace." Ke Muqing slapped his thigh, "If I had known that the emperor was bothered by the imperial seal, I would have given it to him a long time ago!"

Ke Xiucai raised his eyelids and glanced at Ke Muqing, "I thought you were reluctant to give it away for free."

"Dad! Is this how you look at Yang Erzhu? Is he the kind of person who takes my things for free without rewarding me?" Ke Muqing asked righteously.

So if Yang Erzhu was that kind of person, this rebellious girl would really be reluctant to give him away for free.

Now that Ke Mucheng knew about the imperial seal, he did not delay any longer and immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage and go to the palace.

The emperor was discussing matters with several important ministers. Ke Muqing was too lazy to wait, so he turned around and went to the harem to ask for an audience with the queen.

"Why did sister-in-law come to the palace alone today? Didn't Shuangshuang and Xiu Yu come with you?" The queen was a little surprised to see Ke Mucheng come in alone.

"I came to the palace for something important, so I didn't bring the child with me." Ke Muqing said, "I was just about to go see the emperor, but the emperor is not available at the moment. I was thinking about you two, so it doesn't matter whether I give this thing to the emperor or to you, the queen."

As Ke Muqing spoke, he put the wooden box in his hand on the table.

The box was something Ke Mucheng just picked up and used. It was a very simple wooden box that looked half-worn.

The Queen asked, "Sister-in-law, can I open it and see what it is?"

Ke Mucheng nodded. After getting Ke Mucheng's permission, the queen unlocked the box and opened the lid. When she looked down, she was shocked.

"This..." The queen's eyes changed, "Sister-in-law, is this what I was thinking of?"

"Yes, this is the imperial seal." Ke Muqing nodded. "I accidentally got it from someone in exchange for food when I was fleeing from famine. I was also too busy recently, so I didn't know that people were talking about the seal. I have kept it for a long time. I am old and don't remember much, so I forgot about the seal."
