Chapter 2186: Chapter 2183: Explanation

The reason he didn’t bring this matter to light earlier was because he felt it wasn’t the right time.

But now, Emperor Xuanming is healthier than in the previous life and has more energy. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he shouldn’t die suddenly in a couple of years like before.

At this moment, Emperor Xuanming has the drive to accomplish significant achievements and naturally cannot tolerate officials forming cliques for personal gain, as his planned reforms threaten the interests of many powerful figures.

Moreover, it now involves controlling such a formidable force as the Cavalry Battalion.

Emperor Xuanming wants to take this opportunity to seize control of the entire Cavalry Battalion.

And Xiang City, as the Minister of War, is actually a trusted aide of the Emperor. However, the Emperor values the art of balance, and this time, it seems Emperor Xuanming’s plan is to delegate at least one Cavalry Battalion to the Minister of War.

But now, Xiang City has been exposed for secretly maintaining close relations with Minister Qi. Unless there’s a way to completely dispel the Emperor’s suspicions, this time, he will definitely be doubted by the Emperor.

However, regardless of the Emperor’s thoughts, others are likely to assume that Xiang City is part of the Third Prince’s Faction.

"Finding a suitable leader for the Cavalry Corps is crucial for the victory in the Northern Region war. If it falls into the hands of self-serving officials right from the start, it would defeat the purpose of my promoting this matter. Therefore, I’ve had someone keep an eye on Xiang City and unexpectedly discovered this information." Chu Heng’s words weren’t entirely false, although he knew of this matter, exposing their secret interactions wasn’t an easy task.

After all, in the previous life, their relationship was only exposed during the palace coup, implying they had minimal contact ordinarily, making it difficult to gather evidence.

One could only lie in wait for the right opportunity.

With patience, there would eventually be results.

In fact, Chu Heng’s method, although a bit clumsy, was indeed quite effective in this surveillance-free ancient era.

Ye Muyu listened, somewhat impressed: "These informants are truly dedicated to their work, remarkable." Comparable to modern private detectives.

No, to be precise, besides being able to exploit surveillance, most informants in this era are skilled in martial arts, far superior to the average person who doesn’t know how to defend themselves.

"Their work is very strenuous. Since they’ve accomplished something, we should prepare some silver rewards." Ye Muyu has always favored clear distinctions between rewards and punishments and is never stingy with money.

Chu Heng took Nuanbao from her arms, letting her rest, and nodded at her words: "Yes, I’ll instruct someone to deliver it shortly."

"Alright, if there’s no money, just get some from the accounts office." Ye Muyu also keeps some silver stored in the residence’s accounts to manage various operations within the residence.

Chu Heng pinched her ear, neither refusing nor taking silver from the accounts.

Joking aside, he originally established the trading team to support the family, relying on memories from the previous life where both talents and trade routes were imprinted in his mind to make use of.

Now, with his wife being more capable than himself, he only feels proud, but can’t really rely on her entirely. He has the ability to earn money and naturally supports the household through his earnings.

However, it’s a pity that his wife is so adept, he doesn’t have much chance to savor the pleasure of being the breadwinner.

Although Chu Heng thought to himself in this manner, his upturned mouth showed he was very satisfied with his current life.

After talking, the couple, waiting for Nuanbao to fall asleep, returned to their room to have a private conversation.

The next morning.

Ye Muyu sat up from bed, rubbing her waist. Her long black hair draped casually on her back. Even though she had just woken up, her complexion was bright and clear, and she seemed in good spirits. Only her swollen lips and a trace of marks on her neck revealed an alluring hint of seductiveness.
