Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Emperor Hui's heart was bleeding. How could the common people afford 400 coins?

"Find out which grain store it is?"

"The Cheng'en Mansion, the Wu Family, and..."

"Prince?"

"Correct!"

"He is so bold that he doesn't even bother to hide it! He is the crown prince!" Emperor Hui pounded the edge of the bed, "He made money from the country's misfortune, competed with the people for profit, and was blinded by greed... How can I trust him to hand over the country to him!"

Leng Luo supported him and said, "They changed shops, and it seemed like it had nothing to do with them, but the people from the Imperial City Bureau found out that they were behind it."

“They’ve been hoarding food?”

"I guess they were stored there after the autumn harvest. There are six warehouses, scattered around. I haven't paid much attention to it."

The people in the Imperial City Bureau don't know every little thing about the matter. They are more concerned about whether the ministers are loyal.

It is not known when these grains were stockpiled.

Emperor Hui closed his eyes, sighed and said, "Well, the price is high, it's better than having no food at all."

Leng Luo looked at Emperor Hui with gray hair on his temples, his eyes darkened, but he still spoke.

"The Crown Prince is in Zhongzhou, and disaster relief is not going well. According to reports from the supervisors there, the Crown Prince went to the disaster area, but because he was afraid of the danger, he only met with officials from Zhongzhou in Wancheng."

"Open the warehouses and distribute the grain. The grain in the treasury will be distributed for free."

"They said they gave it to the common people, but in fact most of it went into the hands of grain merchants and certain officials."

"Right now those people are selling food at high prices, and ordinary people can't get food at all."

"It rained so hard that the riverbanks burst, and those who were buried in the ruins could not be buried. When it rained, the plague broke out."

……

He said helplessly that it was his duty and he couldn't lie.

When Emperor Hui heard this, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell headfirst.

The entire palace was in chaos.

When Duke Cheng'en heard that the emperor had fainted and the imperial physicians had been summoned, he hurried to see him.

If His Majesty is unable to do so, he must call the Crown Prince back immediately.

Prince Qi and Prince Jin are both eyeing the prince covetously. In case the prince does not return, these people will seize the opportunity to seize the throne.

The imperial physicians filed into Emperor Hui's bedroom. General Wei Ziying of the Qianniu Guards led his men to guard the bedroom gate, and all the court officials were kept outside.

Gu Shaoyu was also waiting outside the hall.

After the court session, not only did no one leave today, but even those minor officials who had been idling around in their daily lives did not dare to leave.

The women in the harem were also waiting anxiously outside the palace.

Especially Concubine De and Concubine Xian.

They quickly sent messages to Prince Qi and Prince Jin, asking them to come to the palace immediately to attend to the patient.

It’s hard to say whether he was taking care of the sick or doing something else.

After receiving the letter, Prince Qi was about to rush to the palace, but after thinking it over, he did not go in. Instead, he urgently summoned his confidants, including those who had already been arranged in the camp outside the capital.

None of the imperial physicians in Emperor Hui's bedroom came out.

People outside wanted to find out the news, but they couldn't find out anything.

Princess Yurong swayed into the palace with six guards and maids, and walked to the front of His Majesty's bedroom and asked to see Emperor Hui.

He was stopped by Wei Ziying: "Your Majesty has ordered that you are not allowed to enter without being summoned."

"You are so bold! Didn't you say that the emperor fainted? How could he have given instructions after fainting?"

Wei Ziying said sternly: "Princess, be careful with your words and do not speak nonsense about the safety of His Majesty."

"Then ask me to go in and take a look. Your Majesty is my father. Are you planning to rebel? Is the world still in the Zhou family? Do you think I can control it?"

Elder Liu and Gu Shaoyu were outside the palace. When they heard her making a fuss, they hurried over to advise her and persuade her not to speak so harshly.

Princess Yurong did not argue with him. She moved closer to Elder Liu and shrugged her towering chest in front of the old prime minister.

The poor old prime minister was almost hit by two meat balls. His face turned red and he angrily said, "The rat has skin, but the man has no manners! If the man has no manners, why not die?"

Princess Yurong tilted her face and looked at the old prime minister angrily: "How dare you scold me?"

Gu Shaoyu stopped her from approaching Elder Liu and said sternly, "Princess Yurong, you are not allowed to enter the palace without being summoned. You have violated a big taboo. Don't make a loud noise here. Please leave quickly."

Princess Yurong was being scolded by Lord Liu and was about to get angry when she suddenly heard Gu Shaoyu scolding her like this. She stared at the tall, majestic, and unparalleled handsome young Lord and immediately felt like making a move.

"I have no other intentions. I am just worried about my father. Since Lord Gu thinks I am wrong, I will go to my mother's palace and wait for an audience."

After seeing her leave, Gu Shaoyu continued to wait outside the palace with the ministers.

At 4 p.m., the sky was overcast and the weather was freezing cold. Many ministers had runny noses from the cold.

Princess Roudan ran to the imperial kitchen angrily and said, "Don't you have eyes? It's so cold, don't you know to send everyone a bowl of hot rice porridge?"

The head of the imperial kitchen said flatteringly, "Your Highness, it's not that we servants are blind, it's that everyone is in no mood to eat or drink right now!"

"Father has always valued his subjects. He is only slightly ill. If all the subjects get sick from the cold wind, who will handle the affairs of state?"

The people in the imperial kitchen cursed Princess Yurong in their hearts, calling her a bastard. Her own father was in prison and his life or death was uncertain, yet she was still trying to win over the ministers.

Soon the hot rice porridge was ready, and the eunuchs delivered it to the ministers one by one, and Princess Yurong followed swayingly.

"I'm going to get you some food, don't think I'm unfilial to my father! I'm very filial, and it's a big deal that you're all sick. Drink up, everyone, and don't let anyone fall sick. If anyone falls, I'll whip him to death."

Although she spoke eloquently, no one listened.

Is that reasonable? When the Majesty is still in danger of death, they still have the heart to eat porridge?

Duke Cheng En suppressed his anger and said, "Princess Yurong, now is not the time to make trouble. Your Highness should return to the Princess's Mansion and wait for good news."

In the end, no one wanted to drink, so Princess Yurong clapped her hands and an eunuch immediately brought hot tea, one cup for each person.

"Even if you don't want to eat the porridge, you should at least drink a cup of hot tea, right?"

This time many ministers drank it.

A young eunuch brought tea to Gu Shaoyu, but he refused to take it and said, "I am not thirsty."

The young eunuch lowered his eyebrows and said, "Master, it's cold. Have a drink to warm yourself up. When His Majesty wakes up, he will need you to discuss state affairs."

Gu Shaoyu took the tea and glanced outside intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing the people from the Imperial City Bureau hurriedly coming in from outside, he took the teacup and walked out.

In a flash, he poured the tea onto the inside of his wide sleeves of his court robe.
