The real daughter is reborn, I will no longer be this evil stepmother

He had already obtained such things as power, and he had no regrets about abandoning his official position.

That same day, he went out again.

At noon the next day, a memorial with several thousand words was placed in front of Emperor Jing.

After seeing this, Emperor Jing became furious and immediately sent someone to summon the prince.

"Let me ask you, you are responsible for providing porridge relief, but why is all the water given to the victims? Where did the food you withdraw from the treasury go?!"

The prince said hurriedly:

"No way, Father, I just went to the disaster relief site not long ago. The porridge there can't be poured out with chopsticks and can be eaten with a hand. It's not all pure water."

Emperor Jing snorted coldly,

"Are you talking about the two places near the Imperial City? Have you seen the other places?"

The prince hesitated,

"This, I will not have time to see in the future."

Emperor Jing:

"Let me tell you! The rest of the porridge relief spots are basically filled with water. When you scoop out a bowl, you can clearly count the rice grains! The two places where chopsticks are stuck in place that you mentioned are specifically used to fool me, right?"

The prince quickly glanced at Liao Shiyu and replied:

"I made an oversight and hired people inappropriately. I will go find out later."

Emperor Jing did not comment, picked up the memorial and continued:

"Three days ago, you drew 30,000 shi of food. The two porridge relief sites in the capital can help 6,000 victims every day. The food is about 20 shi, and 60 shi in three days! But the other nine places are probably useless. To one stone! There is so much food left, but now there is no trace of it. The official responsible for giving out porridge said he didn’t see it. Tell me, where did the food go?"

The prince's body trembled and he knelt on the ground.

"General Yao, the Flying Cavalry Commander, is responsible for all matters regarding food security. I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow him to come to the palace."

Emperor Jing was right.

However, those who went to announce the call could not find General Yao because General Yao never came back.

Emperor Jing was furious,

"Song Chi, are you kidding me?!"

The prince kowtowed repeatedly, indicating that he did not know anything about it.

Emperor Jing couldn't believe it. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot and his eyes were flashing. He was obviously thinking about how to deal with this matter.

Liao Shiyu said:

"Your Highness, among the other porridge relief locations, why did you choose one near the boundary of Yinnan Mansion?"

The prince said:

"It's just because the famine mainly occurs in Yinnan Mansion. If we only provide porridge relief in the capital, all those people will come to the capital, so that's why we chose that place."

That makes sense.

Emperor Jing said coldly:

"Then why are you blocking the refugees and not letting them in or out?"

Prince:

"This is also for the sake of the capital. Too many people flooding into the capital may cause riots and cause unrest."

Emperor Jing was angry:

"The porridge you give people cannot survive, but you block them from passing. Doesn't this force them to starve to death there? Is this your solution to the famine?!"

The prince was terrified:

"My son must go and find out!"

Emperor Jing drove him out and ordered him to solve the problem, find food, and give porridge normally within three days.

After the prince left, Emperor Jing remained silent and took a while to calm down.

"Liao Aiqing, what do you think?"

Liao Shiyu paused and said:

"I'm afraid that what His Highness the Prince said is not completely true. He stopped the refugees and refused to let them out. Maybe he was worried that the refugees would tell the truth about the porridge relief."

The implication is that the prince probably already knew what happened to those disaster relief sites.

But, as a prince, why would he do this?

This is a great opportunity for him to improve people's hearts!

Emperor Jing was also puzzled.

He has been the emperor for many years, so naturally he does not believe everything the prince says, especially after the Wan Niuniu incident, he has a, how should I say, cautious attitude towards the prince.

He asked Liao Shiyu to continue investigating.

Liao Shiyu took the order.

He already had some direction for his investigation, but the other party was the prince after all. Although Emperor Jing valued him, he couldn't go too far. He could talk about speculation, but he couldn't talk about the shadow.

The prince returned to the palace with a gloomy face.

He didn't expect that things would be revealed so quickly.

Did Liao Shiyu rely on his holy favor to investigate in private?

Or did Emperor Jing personally give the order?

Are these people so worried about him?

If he had known this, he would have recovered a few days later, but unfortunately, there were some things he couldn't control.

After thinking about it, he summoned the national master.

Xu Guoshi came in an anxious mood.

The prince looked at him and remained silent for a long time, which made Xu Guoshi feel frightened.

After a while, the prince spoke,

"Master, are you very happy with Concubine Du these days?"

Xu Guoshi's heart skipped a beat.

"Your Highness, why do you say that?"

The prince's eyes showed amusement,

"Still want to pretend to be stupid in front of me?"

Xu Guoshi knelt down with a plop, his voice trembling,

"Your Majesty, do you have any advice for me? I am willing to do my best."

Ever since he had sex with Concubine Du that day, and when he woke up, he realized that something was wrong.

Why am I so confused and unable to control myself?

Thinking about it, he only had a drink at the prince's place once, and I'm afraid that it was then that he fell into the trap.

The prince drugged him!

This conclusion made him shudder. Why would the prince do this?

Is it to control him and make yourself do things for him?

But why did you choose this method!

You can’t do it!

Xu Guoshi has been living in pain and happiness these days. He is happy and sad at the same time.

Concubine Du summoned him to the palace almost the next day. His body was happy, but he felt more and more anxious.

What does the prince mean?

Or is this just a misunderstanding?

Did the servant take the wrong thing?

But the prince's question today shattered his only luck.

This is the prince's plan!

If he doesn't obey, I'm afraid his head will be moved immediately, and even Concubine Du Guifei won't be able to survive.

The prince saw this and nodded with satisfaction.

"Didn't my father ask you to donate the precious medicine? As far as I know, this thing is very risky and cannot be used indiscriminately. If you are not careful, your life will be in danger!"

Xu Guoshi was trembling with fear.

"What does the prince mean?"

The prince glanced at him and said,

"Don't you understand what I mean? Since you are so stupid, there is no use keeping your head!"

Xu Guoshi broke into a cold sweat.

The prince is planning to kill his father and commit rebellion!

Would he dare to agree to such a thing?

How dare he refuse to agree?

The prince sat leisurely drinking tea. The man in front of him had no other choice but to obey him.

Time passed slowly, and just when he was about to become impatient, Xu Guoshi finally said with a grimace,

"Prince, what you are saying is that that kind of medicine is indeed very dangerous!"

After saying this, his heart was filled with mixed emotions, and cold sweat could not stop flowing all over his body.

"Ah."

The prince nodded with satisfaction, "This matter should not be delayed. You will start donating medicine tomorrow! My good father, I can't wait any longer. Do you understand? After the matter is completed, I promise you to follow the dragon's merits!"

Xu Guoshi gritted his teeth.

"Thank you, Your Highness! I understand."

……

Emperor Jing went to the queen's place.

After arriving, he sat down silently and frowned.

The queen asked what happened?
