Chapter 72 The Queen's Demise 21
Xiao Yan had no idea what was going on. He just felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. Although he knew that the emperor would not restore her position as queen, his chest still hurt badly.
"I have a plan. Why don't you marry the princess of Yi country and make peace for a hundred years? Then the countries will be dispersed and the border crisis will be resolved."
Li Shen: “….”
It seems that the prime minister is really sick and confused, or he is sleepy and someone offers him a pillow. His original plan was to let the eldest princess use the marriage as an excuse, and arrange the army in the wedding procession to march to the imperial city.
By then, Xiao Yan's soldiers would still be outside the city, and it would be too late to save him! With the backbone under control and the rest of the army surrounding him, would he still worry about not being able to take back his military power?
So the court officials began to discuss the feasibility, and finally felt it was feasible, so they arranged for envoys to go to Yi State to discuss the matter and ask for the princess' hand in marriage.
Li was very satisfied. Just as he signaled the eunuch to leave the court, another official of the first rank came forward and said, "I have something else to report."
"...What is it?"
"When I was sorting out the Hanlin archives, I found that the number of imperial edicts was incorrect. There must be one missing letter from the existing records of the late emperor."
This means that the late emperor should have issued an imperial edict, but it was not issued and disappeared out of thin air.
The official went on to say, “There are rumors that the late emperor issued his last imperial edict before his death, which contained shocking secrets concerning the essence of the country.”
Everyone heard it secretly, and Li Shen frowned slightly. It was related to the country's essence and most likely related to the royal family. He suddenly had a bad premonition, which made his heart beat violently.
The officials had different expressions, and some looked at the prime minister.
Xiao Yan had never heard of this matter. He looked at Li Shen, who looked unhappy, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Tutor Su standing among the officials.
The latter had just spoken forcefully when she said she would restore the throne to the throne and not shake the people's hearts, but now her face had turned pale and sweat was even breaking out on her forehead.
What did Master Su know? Xiao Yan was almost certain, his eyes narrowed slightly, what kind of imperial decree could make Master Su look so panicked and deliberately conceal something?
As the border was in turmoil, the matter was put aside for discussion later.

Hua Xia walked through the Imperial Garden and returned to Jing'an Palace. The door of Jing'an Palace was closed. She pushed the door, but it didn't open.
What the hell?
After a few days, I can't even go back to my own territory? ?
She reached out and knocked on the door twice, but there was no response. Just as Hua Xia was about to climb over the wall to go in, a very small voice came from behind the door.
"Who?"
Hua Xia: "...I, your mother, Xiao Quanzi, open the door!"
The voice inside the door was stunned, and then the door was opened.
"Mother, mother, mother!"
Hua Xia looked at the tearful eunuch in front of her: ".....Your stuttering hasn't healed yet?"
As she spoke, she pushed the eunuch aside and walked inside. After entering, she found that the courtyard of Jing'an Palace had almost changed its appearance and was in a mess. However, she was very satisfied with the mess.
After Xiao Quanzi closed the door again, she turned around and saw her mother sitting among a pile of gold, silver and jewelry, smiling very happily.
"Get rich, get rich!"
250: [...never seen the world...]
Hua Xia was overjoyed. Looking at the mess of gold, silver and jewels on the ground, she asked Xiao Quanzi, "Are you moving the national treasury here?"
"Shh! My queen, keep your voice down." Xiao Quanzi trotted to Hua Xia and whispered.
Hua Xia jokingly said, "Oh, you still dare to order your mother around?"
"No, I dare not, mother, my queen." Xiao Quanzi felt a little aggrieved.
Hua Xia stopped teasing him and asked, "Why are you the only one in the palace? Where is Xiao Taozi?"
"My lady, Xiao Taozi and Manager Liu have gone to move some things. Tell me to close the door and not let anyone in."
Hua Xia looked at the 'things' on the ground: "Is the thing in your mouth the pile on the ground?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"Where did it come from?"
"Next, the cold palace next door."
The cold palace next door? Who lives there?
Before Hua Xia could continue asking questions, there was another noise at the door. Xiao Quanzi shuddered in fear, and Hua Xia also became nervous.
The door rang once, then was knocked three times. Xiao Quanzi immediately smiled and ran over to open the door.
So, there was a secret code?
Sure enough, behind the door, Liu Cai led the little fool and little Taozi and walked in with difficulty carrying several large boxes.
"Close the door, close the door!" Xiao Taozi rolled up her sleeves halfway and spoke in a bold and unrestrained voice.
Hua Xia: "..." Xiao Taozi? What's wrong with you? How come you, such a cute girl, have become so lewd?
A good girl doesn't stay at home to watch the door, but goes out to move money, leaving a little eunuch to watch. This little Quanzi is not as capable as a girl, my God!
The three of them didn't notice that there was an extra person on the ground in the yard. Xiao Taozi turned her back to Hua Xia and gave instructions: "Old Liu, let's spread these on the ground first. We'll have to move them later."
Hua Xia: “…” Help!
250: [Host, why have all the girls who followed you become like this, King Kong Barbie...]
The three of them discussed countermeasures. Xiao Quanzi wanted to say that the queen had returned, but he couldn't get a word in.
You are so useless, you deserve to be a gatekeeper. I would rather take a little fool with me than take you with me when I do important things! Hua Xia complained silently.
After the three men finished their brief conversation, they turned around and saw the empress whom they hadn't seen for a few days. She was sitting on a pile of gold, silver and jewelry, looking at them in shock with her jaw dropped.
After a brief silence, chirping sounds were heard in the yard.
"My Lady! You're finally back!"
"My lady, I missed you so much during the days you were gone."
"Madam, you don't know, later on those eunuchs became smarter and no longer came to play cards!"
"My lady..."
Hua Xia: “…” It would be strange if people would come if you guys are so deceiving.
"Get out of the way!" Xiao Taozi stepped forward and waved her hand, "This is my queen!"
Hua Xia: “…”
She pointed to the pile of things under her buttocks in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Taozi, what is this?"
"Your Majesty! Let me tell you!" Old Liu was already an adult. He also sat down in the pile of money and began to explain the whole story.
The cause was that a senior official in the court found out that the emperor had secretly issued a decree before his death. They went to the inner palace to check the number of decrees produced and discovered that one copy was indeed missing.
Somehow the Queen Mother found out about this, and she ordered several eunuchs to search secretly in the palace and send the person to her immediately once they found him.
So Lao Liu also went to look for it. Since he was addicted to playing cards, he pretended to look for it in the cold palace next door.
During this search, he, who had been traveling deep in the palace, soon discovered the clue of the cold palace. The horizon of the backyard was much higher than that of the front yard, so he quietly took a shovel and dug, and he found a huge pile of gold, silver and jewelry.
The next day, which was today, he and his "family" began to move the treasures to Jing'an Palace, intending to hide them.
250: [Old Liu is too unreserved. Maybe tomorrow morning, all of these will be embezzled by the host.]
Hua Xia: "What are you talking about? Idiot?"
【without......】
"It's hard to sell so many stolen goods."
Liu Cai whispered, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is going to rebel. The palace will be in chaos. We must save enough money. If we can't stay in the palace any longer, we can run away!"
