Gu Rong has always been a potential death threat.

Since she was rescued, Gu Xi and Qin Xiao sent people to search for her traces, focusing on the third prince of Beiyan.

However, it was not long since Gu Rong disappeared and Beiyan is far away. In addition, it would take time to find out the information to confirm it.

Therefore, Gu Xi was not in a hurry to get the news.

Recently, he has been so busy fighting chaos, providing disaster relief and raising money that Gu Xi even forgot about the hidden danger of Gu Rong.

Therefore, Gu Xi was pleasantly surprised when he saw this information.

However, the source of this information also surprised her.

"Someone gave this to the palace guards, didn't it come back from the Secret Service's spies?"

Gu Xi asked Qiuzhi beside him.

Gu Xi doesn't like using eunuchs, and doesn't trust strange palace people.

Therefore, she promoted her four maids to female officials to assist her in handling affairs in the harem and court.

Because Qiuzhi is the most careful and prudent, and also keen on matters of political intrigue, she was appointed as the Shuling Ling.

Her main responsibility is to take notes when she discusses state affairs with ministers, and is also responsible for helping her organize memorials, information, etc.

Harue helps her handle the harem affairs. Of course, the harem is very clean now.

As for the master, the emperor is not here, so the only one left is the queen mother.

The previous emperor’s concubines and princes and princesses were all kicked out of the palace by her.

The palace doesn’t support them!

Gu Xi and Qin Xiao are also very kind.

For those princes and princesses, except for the rebellious fourth prince who was beheaded and Princess Yaoguang who was implicated and sent away three thousand miles away, everyone else was treated kindly.

Either you would give me a fiefdom, or you would be given a position in the capital based on your ability.

For example, the eldest prince, Prince An, etc. have all received important positions, holding real power and military power.

The sixth prince wanted to be an idle and wealthy prince, so he gave him a wealthy land as a fief, so that he could live a prosperous life relying on the taxes from the fief.

After Qin Xiao left the capital, the Sixth Prince also left the capital with a group of people. They said they were inspecting the great rivers and mountains for Gu Xi, but in fact they went out to play happily.

However, Gu Xi just received his urgent letter yesterday. He just said that he regretted it because he missed the Golden Dragon spaceship when he went out.

In addition to being kind to these princes and princesses, Qin Xiao and Gu Xi also did not allow the concubines to be buried, let alone guard the tombs in the imperial mausoleum.

Gu Xi even issued a special decree stating that concubines who had not been favored could remarry after returning home.

Of course, there are those who have been favored and can marry if they want. She and the emperor don't care, let alone the royal face.

This decree has made many women and their families grateful.

Who would really want to be alone all their lives when they have the chance to find a lover, let alone be a widow for a foolish king?

Bah, this foolish king is not worthy either.

As for those concubines who have princes or princesses, they can live with their children or live in a palace, and they will be given the treatment of a concubine and a certain amount of salary and expenses.

There were no more masters in the palace, so naturally, a large number of eunuchs and maids were released from the palace.

The daily expenses in the palace were suddenly reduced by 90% compared to before!

With Gu Xi and the emperor leading by example, the royal family no longer dared to live extravagantly.

After all, being watched by the censor, one can easily commit any transgression against them.

It’s more enjoyable than the emperor, empress and queen mother, so you won’t be able to rebel even if you want to.

At the same time, dignitaries also reduced expenses and advocated the virtue of frugality.

In the past, in the capital city, when any ancestor held a birthday banquet, it was always a matter of competition to see who had a bigger feast and who spent enough money.

But it’s different now!

Everyone is competing to see who can spend less money and be decent at the same time. When many ladies are socializing, they no longer talk about whose clothes and jewelry are luxurious, but about their experiences of saving money.

If it is truly useful and does not affect the quality of life, it will definitely become the most beautiful cub at the banquet and be extremely popular.

Let’s digress and let’s talk about looking back at Rong again.

When Qiuzhi heard Gu Xi's question, he immediately nodded and said seriously,

"Yes, Madam. This is given to the guards at the palace gate. It is not our source of information.

The servant has sent someone to arrest the person who sent the message. Let’s see if we can find some clues to find out the person behind the scenes.”
