So It's Our Own Estate!
"Please speak, Ninth Highness. I will tell you everything I know.”
Zhang Wanhe nodded and replied.
"Lord Zhang, as the Minister of Justice, you must have a lot of connections. I want to ask about someone."”
"Who is it?" asked Zhang Wanhe.
"Who is the big boss behind this Wafting Fragrance Yard?" Ye Chen asked.”
"Um…"
Hearing this, Zhang Wanhe was stunned.
Looking at Zhang Wanhe's expression, Ye Chen knew that he should know a thing or two.
"Why? It's not convenient to say?" Ye Chen asked.”
"I'm not too sure about this matter, so I don't dare to say anything.”
"How about this? Everyone else can go out. You can only tell me one person."”
Under Ye Chen's request, everyone, including Hua Kui Ruyan, left the room.
After everyone left, Ye Chen said to Zhang Wanhe,""Lord Zhang, you can speak now."
"Your Highness, I've heard of it, but I'm not sure about it." Zhang Wanhe said nervously. I can tell you, but don't tell anyone, and don't tell anyone that I told you.”
Ye Chen nodded,"Sure, I promise you that." However, looking at your afraid expression, it seems that the big boss behind the scenes is indeed very powerful.”
"Ninth Highness, I'll make it clear in advance that I've only heard about it and have no concrete evidence." Zhang Wanhe said guiltily. It was said that the big boss behind the Wafting Fragrance Yard was the old king.”
Ye Chen slightly frowned,"Old King?"”
"He's the younger brother of the late Emperor Mingzong, the current Emperor's Imperial Uncle, Prince Hui," replied Zhang Wanhe.”
Ye Chen could not help but sigh,"So it's him. I didn't expect my imperial uncle to actually buy such a business." She had long heard that he was proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun. She did not expect him to have such skills. He was really professional!”
Ye Chen naturally knew of the Prince of the Hui family's name.
This old man was famous for being an old naughty boy and for being a carefree prince.
As long as it was related to eating, drinking, and having fun, he was proficient in everything.
Ye Chen looked at Zhang Wanhe and said with some confusion,"However, I remember that the Hui Prince seems to be quite easy to talk to. He is also very kind. Why are you so afraid?”
This Imperial Uncle was just fond of playing and enjoying himself. Other than that, his personality was quite good.
"Although the Hui Prince is in charge of the Wafting Fragrance Yard, it doesn't completely belong to him," Zhang Wanhe said in a low voice. The Hui Prince was a member of the Imperial Family and was the most senior Prince in the Imperial Family. So, does Your Highness understand the stakes?”
When Ye Chen heard this, he basically understood.
"Lord Zhang, you mean that Prince Hui is only helping people?" Ye Chen asked.”
"It's good that Ninth Highness understands. There are some things that I really don't dare to say." Zhang Wanhe replied.”
Other than Emperor Qian, who else could ask Prince Hui for help?
" Lord Zhang," Ye Chen said," even if what you said is true, what is the purpose of the Wafting Fragrance Yard's existence? Doesn't it already have a school?"”
"Your Highness, you should know that the people of the Education Bureau are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, but the finances are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue." Zhang Wanhe explained. All of this money had to be put into the national treasury. Even His Majesty couldn't use the national treasury at will. However, the existence of the Wafting Fragrance Yard was different.”
Ye Chen slowly nodded,"I understand."”
If he still didn't understand, he would be a fool.
Prince Hui was in charge of the Wafting Fragrance Yard, but this was only an illusion.
The money the Wafting Fragrance Yard earned was only channeled through the Hui Prince into the palace treasury in the Imperial Palace.
To put it bluntly, the Wafting Fragrance Yard had become Emperor Qian's small treasury, providing him with funds.
"However, I still have a question. Was there a need for the dignified Great Qian Emperor to do this for a bit of money? Lord Zhang, are you really not lying to me?"
"Ninth Highness, I've already told you. I've only heard about it. I don't have any evidence." Zhang Wanhe hurriedly said. Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, whether you believe it or not, don't spread it out, let alone say that I said it. As for your question, I don't know why. I don't want to know, and I don't dare to know.”
Ye Chen could understand Zhang Wanhe's fear, so he did not make things difficult for him anymore.
"Alright, that's it. Today's conversation will be kept between you and me. No third person will know.”
Since it was his father who set up the Wafting Fragrance Yard, what was wrong with him sleeping with a courtesan?
Anyway, it was his family's business!
Ye Chen felt that he could act first and report later!
