Reborn group favorite: The prince and I are enemies
Chapter 962 She was caught
There was silence in the hall, and you could hear a needle drop. Eunuch Lu heard his own breathing, from steady and long to short and rapid.
He doesn't care what His Majesty will do, because he is His Majesty's man, and he only does what is good for His Majesty.
But His Majesty's silent and meditative look made his heart tighten tightly.
This look is undoubtedly terrifying.
"His Majesty?"
"Oh," Emperor Yuanwu said after waking up from a dream for a long time, "ask him to hand over the account book. I want to confirm the authenticity."
Eunuch Lu said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Qi, the sworn sister, is very favored. I'm afraid that King Qi, King Xingyang and the Yue Guild may not agree."
Emperor Yuanwu leaned back, looking like a king. He looked sternly and said: "In this world, there is no so-called fairness, and harmony and prosperity are achieved at the expense of the interests of a few people. I cherish my people. But we cannot care for every citizen."
"Lu Xing, five million and four hundred thousand taels, which is more than the revenue of the national treasury in a year, and the price I paid is only one woman. With such unbalanced pros and cons, how do you want me to choose?"
Lu Xing said cautiously: "Your Majesty, could this be a divorce plan?"
Emperor Yuanwu did not answer, but made his decision decisively: "Let him present the account book, otherwise there will be no discussion."
Eunuch Lu retreated.
Emperor Yuanwu no longer had the intention to look at the memorials piled on his desk, and only thought about what Yu Yin said.
Lan Lingling walked out of the back hall and saw his frown, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
Emperor Yuanwu did not avoid talking, but told Lan Lingling about the matter, and finally asked her: "How do you think I should make a decision?"
Lan Lingling shrugged: "What's the choice? There is an old saying in Da Qin, 'You can't have your cake and eat it too'. If you have to choose one, then choose the one you want."
"Because you are the Ninth Five Supreme Being, there is no right or wrong in your choice, only pros and cons."
Emperor Yuanwu's smile reached his eyes: "I thought you would side with the emperor and think that I should not sacrifice a woman's life."
Lan Lingling said: "Your Great Qin affairs have nothing to do with me, and I will not comment on your decision."
Emperor Yuanwu murmured: "You should have done this, but when you actually did it, I didn't feel happy."
Lan Lingling turned around: "What did you say?"
Emperor Yuanwu changed the subject: "I am saying, I don't know if these millions of taels of silver really exist."
Lan Lingling said: "To be honest, I don't think the Yu family can collect so much money."
Emperor Yuanwu said: "Last year, a large sum of money embezzled by Yu Yin was found from Cuiping Mountain. My father asked Yu Qian to retire and retire on the condition that he would not be held guilty. There are already hundreds of thousands of taels there."
Lan Lingling said: "I still think that these hundreds of thousands taels are all his corruption gains, and these more than five million taels are probably fake. He may have raised this condition to lure you into being deceived. , to drive a wedge between you and Prince Qi’s Palace.”
"I have seen that Xiao Qian. She is a very innocent and lovely woman. She is as precious as Princess Qi's eyes. If you really exchange her for money, I am afraid that the entire Prince Qi's palace will be worried about you."
"Prince Qi's palace is in a hurry, and the other palaces will certainly not be idle either. You will be suppressed by these aspects. You have just ascended the throne and the government is unstable. Can you bear it?"
Emperor Yuanwu came to the conclusion: "So, do you think I shouldn't have such thoughts and shouldn't provoke Prince Qi's palace?"
Lan Lingling saw a hint of thoughtfulness and doubt in his eyes, and couldn't help but get annoyed: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have already stated my position and attitude, that is, I will not make any decision you make." Any opinions, because you are the king of a country, you have the right to do this."
"What I just said was to tell you what I saw and thought about this matter. I didn't mean to interfere with you or influence your decision-making!"
Emperor Yuanwu looked at her angry expression, but there was a hint of joy in his heart.
Yes, happy.
Zhizhi, who has emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy, and Zhizhi who can get angry at him at will, makes him feel more real.
Finally, he said helplessly: "Zhizhi, that's called a mess. Ups and downs refers to inner panic and uneasiness."
"Who cares! It doesn't matter!" Lan Lingling walked away with a puff of sleeves.
Emperor Yuanwu looked at her leaving figure, the corners of his lips raised high.
The ledger was sent to his desk in the evening.
Emperor Yuanwu didn't understand account books, so he sent the general manager of the palace bureau to Chengming Hall and asked him to look through the piles of account books.
The head of the Internal Affairs Bureau came to the conclusion: "Your Majesty only writes the input of this money, not the source. I am afraid that it is impossible to find out how it came from, let alone the whereabouts of this money. I suspect that this is not the most detailed account book."
Emperor Yuanwu looked at Eunuch Lu, and he bowed and stepped back.
About half an hour later, he came back and brought news from Yu Yin: "Your Majesty, Yu Yin said that as long as you imprison Miss Xiao Qian as a member of the Yu family, he will not only hand over one million taels, but also Hand over the detailed account book to you."
"If you can treat everyone equally and sentence Xiao Qian to whatever crime you sentence the Yu family to, then he will hand over the remaining money."
"Your Majesty, he also said that you must not find someone to take over, otherwise the deal will be invalid. Although he is in prison, the Yu family has been running the government for many years, and he has his own way of knowing your Majesty's movements. I hope your Majesty will not play tricks with him. .”
Emperor Yuanwu listened in silence. From beginning to end, his expression was very indifferent. After a long silence, he said coldly: "Tell him, let me think about it."
After Eunuch Lu retired, Emperor Yuanwu continued to review the memorials as if nothing had happened. He had calculations in his eyes and the city in his heart, but he was no longer like when he was young, who would show everything.
In just a few months, the young emperor had already lost his edge and buried all his emotions so deeply that they were difficult to detect.
After Lan Lingling left Chengming Hall angrily, she went to the dining room to steal some food as usual.
She crushed a piece of mung bean cake, put it into her mouth, and ate it while cursing: "It's true to say that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. I'm so blind that I came here to raise a tiger."
The more she scolded, the angrier she became, and finally she cried in anger.
Why?
Just because she made a deal with King Qi and lingered in this palace, does it mean that she is King Qi's person?Doesn't it mean that if anything happens, she will turn to King Qi?
Lan Lingling felt aggrieved and ate another piece of pastry. Tears rolled into her mouth, leaving a bitter and salty taste.
Suddenly, she felt that her favorite mung bean cake was no longer fragrant, and she quickly vomited it out.
However, the fishy and salty smell was not tears, but bright red blood.
Her stomach was churning, and she vomited while holding on to the stove.
Another big mouthful of blood.
She vomited more and more, as if there was no end.
Until she fell to the ground from exhaustion and lost consciousness, she saw a touch of golden cloud brocade sprinkled with falling phoenixes.
It was Concubine Xiao.
But she couldn't see it.
"Tie it up!"
Concubine Xiao's face was ferocious and terrifying. She looked at Lan Lingling with strong hatred in her eyes.
She still can't forget the humiliation this woman gave her that night.
I have been dormant until now, silently, and finally waited for the moment when my hatred could be vented.
But what kind of medicine did my aunt give me?How come this witch was hit without even realizing it?
Looking at Lan Lingling's defeated face, Xiao Guifei stepped on her mercilessly. She used all her strength and stepped on Lan Lingling until blood spilled from her mouth. On the spirit.
"Your Majesty." The palace maid standing nearby stopped her quickly, "The Queen Mother said not to do anything for now, lest it affect the plan."
Concubine Xiao reluctantly took back the hairpin and stared at Lan Lingling fiercely: "I'm taking advantage of this witch!"
The maid who was close to her hurriedly advised: "Not only does the Queen Mother know the whereabouts of this witch, but she also has a magic weapon to restrain her. This shows that the Queen Mother must have the means to deal with this witch. Why do you have to dirty your hands?"
That night when Zichen Palace was humiliated, Concubine Xiao did not confide a word to anyone, but what happened at that time was still known to the Queen Mother.Just now, the Queen Mother summoned her, gave her a packet of medicinal powder, and told her how to deal with this witch. She also told her that after catching the person, she must take her to that secret place and hide her.
