After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

Chapter 48 The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs

Prime Minister Feng was right.

The Emperor's anger didn't last long. He didn't even have to wait until tomorrow morning. Tonight was enough to make him happy. He was so happy that he went directly to Concubine Duan's place.

"The Emperor is here?" Concubine Duan had already removed her makeup, washed up and was ready to go to bed. She was surprised when she heard the report, "Shouldn't he go to Concubine Feng's place tonight?"

The palace maid shook her head and said she didn't know.

Concubine Duan didn't have time to ask more questions, because she had already seen the Emperor's bright yellow dragon robe, and hurriedly stood up to greet him: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor!"

"Please get up quickly." The Emperor doted on her, and when he saw her at this time, his joy was beyond words, "My beloved concubine, you must have worked hard these two days."

Hard work?

Concubine Duan wondered, what was she working hard for?

The Emperor looked at the palace maids kneeling on the ground, raised his hand and waved: "All of you leave."

"Yes."

The palace maids retreated with their brows lowered.

Concubine Duan calmly looked at the emperor's expression, and a gentle smile rose at the corner of her lips: "It looks like something good has happened. Your Majesty, please stop teasing me. Why don't you share it with me?"

"My beloved concubine, you really gave me a good daughter." His Majesty the Emperor smiled and sighed, "If any prince had the courage of Qinghuang, why would I need to worry about the issue of the crown prince? Just make him the crown prince, and don't even have to worry about being controlled by relatives in the future. But look at those guys, one by one, they just shirk responsibility, and no one dares to stand out at the critical moment."

Concubine Duan listened quietly, with a gentle smile on her face. When the emperor had almost finished complaining, she spoke softly: "What did Qinghuang do to make the emperor so happy?"

"She raided the house of the Minister of Revenue." The emperor said, "Tonight."

Concubine Duan was startled, and then she was surprised and happy.

Qinghuang raided the residence of the Minister of Revenue so quickly? It was beyond her expectations.

This daughter is indeed reliable... At least in terms of her work style, she is very reliable and is not afraid of offending people.

Although she was smiling in her heart, Concubine Duan remained calm, even frowning, and her tone revealed a little worry: "Is this... too sudden?"

The Emperor nodded: "It is indeed quite sudden."

"The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is a second-rank official who holds the financial power of the Ministry of Revenue. It is really inappropriate for Qinghuang to do this." Concubine Duan frowned, "Not to mention whether it will cause dissatisfaction among other ministers, the Shangshu Mansion alone is not so easy to copy. What if there is not enough evidence after copying? How should she explain to the ministers? The Queen Mother will definitely not let it go easily-"

"You don't have to worry about these. Qinghuang will not be so impulsive." The emperor interrupted her and patted her hand soothingly, "There will definitely be evidence , Hong Chenghai has made a lot of money in the past two years with the support of the Queen Mother. If I come forward to deal with this matter, the Queen Mother will definitely not be able to explain it. Qinghuang has solved a problem for me this time, and it is time to suppress the Feng family. "

Duan Fei listened and nodded slowly: "Qinghuang is obliged to help the emperor solve the problem, but the Queen Mother will definitely know..."

"Qinghuang's temper, the Queen Mother can't do anything about her." The emperor said, "The matter will be a foregone conclusion tomorrow morning, even the Queen Mother can't cover it up."

Duan Fei pondered his words and roughly guessed that the palace gate should have been blocked at this time, so the emperor was not worried about the Queen Mother's obstruction. When the Queen Mother learned about the situation tomorrow morning, no matter how angry and unhappy she was, she would be helpless in the face of ironclad evidence.

After all, there are always many reasons for obstruction beforehand, but after the facts are confirmed, no one can go against the law.

Feeling relieved, Concubine Duan said in a relaxed tone: "If the Minister of Revenue is convicted, who does the emperor think should take the vacancy?"

The emperor asked back: "Who do you think is more suitable?"

Concubine Duan smiled and said: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. I dare not make decisions for the emperor casually."

The emperor also laughed: "I will ask Qinghuang tomorrow."

Ask Qinghuang?

Concubine Duan suppressed her joy and nodded slowly: "Your Majesty can ask her for advice, but you don't have to listen to her on everything. Qinghuang is still young after all, and there are always times when she doesn't think things through."

"I know what's going on." The emperor said, holding her waist, "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed."

Concubine Duan was considerate: "Your Majesty, shouldn't you turn over the name of the imperial concubine tonight?"

"I don't want to go to the imperial concubine tonight." The emperor's tone became cold, "The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is a member of the Feng family. They know that I hate court officials to form cliques and factions the most, but they want to violate my taboo."

Concubine Duan's heart sank.

Although she was not sure whether the emperor said this deliberately for her, the four words "forming a clique for personal gain" were not a small crime, and the ambition was enough to make anyone alert.

"Let them toss it tonight." The emperor said coldly, "Tomorrow morning, the evidence will be in front of me. I want to see who dares to plead for the Hong family!"
