When the princess got married, the Korean government immediately announced her arrival, and Li Qi went out to greet her in person.

Chundie took advantage of Princess Anqing's inattention and secretly handed the note to Li Qi.

After Li Qi read it, he nodded knowingly, took Princess Anqing back to the mansion, and settled in the backyard.

Chundie also completed her errand and returned to Hongbin Tower.

In fact, there was only a very simple sentence on the note: The princess stayed at the Korean palace last night and did not leave even half a step.

There was only this simple sentence, no beginning or end, but Hu Fei knew that Li Qi would understand it after reading it. Facts have proved that Li Qi understood it immediately after reading it, and did not ask any questions, just as if nothing happened.

...

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Teng Demao, who was preparing to go to court at home, suddenly found that the inspector broke into his home. Before he could figure out the reason, he was directly arrested by the inspector and taken to the palace.

"The humble minister Teng Demao is here to see His Majesty."

"I don't know what crime Wei Chen committed?"

After Teng Demao was escorted into the hall by several inspectors, he hurriedly knelt down to salute and asked with a grimace.

"Teng Demao, do you know your guilt?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a gloomy face, stared at Teng Demao, and asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I am scared, but I would like to ask Your Majesty to make it clear what crime I have committed."

Teng Demao asked with a sad face and trembling lips.

“Has the Ministry of Revenue issued blank account books with official seals to various states?!”

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Teng Demao and asked coldly.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Teng Demao trembled all over, his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and he was speechless.

"Speak, I'm asking you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Teng Demao who remained silent and asked loudly.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged! Please have mercy!"

Teng Demao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a sad face and begged.

"So, you really know about this? Did you instigate it? What do you want to do?!"

After listening to Teng Demao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood and asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not a secret to begin with. The reason why I have not reported it to Your Majesty is because it is indeed against the rules, but it is also a last resort. I thought that Your Majesty could understand it, and I did not intend to hide it from Your Majesty."

Teng Demao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and begged.

"Since you know it's against the rules, why do you still knowingly do it! Do you think I'm blind and deaf?! You're so brave!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Teng Demao, whom he admitted, and said harshly.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is really unjust. There is indeed a reason for this matter. Please give Wei Chen a chance to defend himself. After all, this is a habitual practice that has been going on since the Yuan Dynasty. Wei Chen did not insist on doing this.

"

Teng Demao said anxiously, the cold sweat on his forehead was like rain.

"What did you say?! Yuan Ting?! How dare you use Yuan Ting's method of handling court affairs?! What are your intentions?!"

Hearing that Teng Demao actually mentioned Yuan Ting, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, his face turned red, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes!

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction, Teng Demao trembled all over. Only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing. He was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed, and kept begging.

Mao Xiang, who was standing on one side, lowered his head respectfully, but a proud sneer flashed across his lips. He did not expect that Teng Demao would admit it so quickly, saving him a lot of trouble.

He seems to have seen Da Gong getting closer and closer to him...
