Lu Jiuqing stayed in the house all day, and all the food was brought to the house.

Mo Xiao stood guard outside the door, but he didn't see Lu Jiuqing. He only met his son twice through the open window.

That night, Mo Xiao didn't even sleep well.

Early the next morning, Mo Xiao prepared medicine for Lu Jiuqing and stood guard at Lu Jiuqing's door.

This time, Lu Jiuqing came out in person. When he saw Mo Xiao, the expression on his face returned to its original look, and he said politely and distantly: "Your Majesty does not need to do such a small thing as boiling medicine in person."

Mo Xiao gritted his teeth: "I want to do it."

He handed the medicine to Lu Jiuqing: "Drink it while it's hot."

Lu Jiuqing took it: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Mo Xiao: "..."

It was obvious that the two of them had become very close some time ago, but after one night, they were back to the beginning, even colder than before.

Mo Xiao took a deep breath, suppressed the rising irritation, and said softly: "Qingqing, the matter of taking a concubine..."

"Your Majesty," Lu Jiuqing interrupted Mo Xiao and said calmly, "Your Majesty's concubine matters have nothing to do with me, you don't have to explain to me."

After saying that, he led Mo Chengning out of the house and left.

Mo Chengning glanced at Mo Xiao sympathetically and followed Lu Jiuqing with small steps.

Mo Xiao closed his eyes, and after the two of them went out, he raised his hand and threw the bowl in his hand.

With a bang, the bowl shattered on the floor, and Mr. Mu who came in from the outside was startled.

When Mr. Mu saw Mo Xiao's face, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Stop!" Mo Xiao raised his head, looked at Mr. Mu at the door, and said coolly, "Why are you running? I'm scary?"

Mr. Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, adjusted his expression, turned around, lowered his eyes and said: "What your Majesty said... Your Majesty is not scary, but majestic."

Mo Xiao snorted coldly: "What's the matter?"

Mr. Mu switched states in a second and said in a deep voice: "The ministers have almost done what your majesty ordered before. As your majesty expected, the county magistrate really took a lot of benefits from the Li family. The two families worked together in collusion. Here lord it over."

"The minister took your majesty's token and mobilized troops from the nearest station. He also took out five thousand taels of silver from the county magistrate's house, as well as some rare treasures. This is the roster. Please take a look at it."

Mo Xiao took the directory from Mr. Mu's hand and glanced at it. His face was full of anger and he threw the directory out.

"It is unreasonable for a small county magistrate to have as many treasures as I have in my private treasury. If every official in the court is like him, will the common people still have to live?"

Mr. Mu lowered his head and said softly: "Jiangnan is rich."

Therefore, many officials here are much richer than those in the capital.

Mo Xiao snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "My treasury lacks people like them."

After he ascended the throne, he copied many corrupt officials to fill up the empty treasury, but overall, he was still a poor emperor.

"Contribute all these things to the national treasury."

Mr. Mu: "It has been transported to the capital."

"Where's the Li family?" Mo Xiao said coolly, "I don't want to see their family come out and play around again."

Mr. Mu didn't know what the emperor was thinking. This was a jealousy. He couldn't believe that Mr. Li had such thoughts towards the girl.

Mr. Mu said softly: "The Li family is not clean either. We have already sent people to investigate. The Li family and his son have been imprisoned in Fish and Meat Township over the years. We are waiting for everything to be investigated before we make a decision."
