crossing into bastard

The prince frowned when he saw it, and said: "The feet are like this, and they are still running around."

Yu Cheng didn't expect it to be so serious, and said in a low voice, "I'm going to see Princess Yuzai."

The prince was silent for a long time, Ye'er and Xiaoqing cleaned up and applied medicine to Yu Cheng, and after Yu Cheng leaned on the big backrest and Ye'er and Xiaoqing went out, the prince said: "Mother is for convincing the public, it is difficult to convince the public without punishment."

Yu Cheng looked at the prince in surprise, the prince turned his face away, and calmly blew the tea in the tea cup, Yu Cheng was surprised that the prince would explain the behavior of the old princess, did he not want him to hate the old princess in his heart?

Yu Cheng is not stupid, the prince rushed over, let the old concubine punish her sister and Aunt Yu together, because she saw her frail body, it is impossible to kneel for too long, the old concubine would not even risk the life of Princess Yu side Regardless, Yu Cheng said: "The prince doesn't have to do this in the future, I just need to be punished, and Princess Yu's body can't bear such a punishment, and I feel even worse if I hurt him."

"Mother will take care of the side concubine and aunt, but not your body. As long as you can still breathe, mother can do it." The prince drank a sip of tea and said: "Although you are happy, the palace appointed But he is always a man, in Mother's heart, I can't tolerate you at all, everything is because of my king's illness, in the future, if Mother asks you to go there, let someone inform me."

Yu Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Is the prince going to protect me?"

"You are the concubine of this king, and this king will protect you." The prince said calmly, unable to see if there was any other deep meaning in what he said.

Yu Cheng smiled and said: "If the prince is willing to protect me well, of course he will not know. I'm afraid that in the future, there will be more people waiting for the prince to protect me."

The prince changed the subject and didn't want to continue talking about this issue, and said, "The Yu family really decided to stop?"

"Yes, it's the words from the eldest lady, so it can't be fake." Yu Cheng straightened his face and said: "I suspect that all of this was caused by the young master of the Yu family. It was the eldest young master who was radical at the moment, too ambitious, and did not think clearly, so he did this."

"Are there other rumors outside?" Wang Ye asked.

"Yes." Yu Cheng said: "The business of the Wangfu has been closed for a few days for inventory. After a day of inventory, a lot of new goods have been brought out, and the price has dropped a little. Everyone is wondering if the business has been transferred to other people."

The prince said coldly: "It seems that the stewards are quick enough, and they should be able to hand over the account books by then."

Yu Chengdao: "I'm afraid that some managers have already spent all their money. When the time comes to check the account books, it will be a big deal if they can't make up the money."

"If you dare to act, you must be prepared." The prince said: "We don't know what is behind the stewards. It is not convenient for me to check now. You send Xiaoqing outside to find out more information."

Yu Cheng said worriedly: "Xiaoqing was brought here by Yu's family, so I'm afraid it's unreliable."

"Just asking for news, don't worry about it." The prince put down his teacup, pondered for a moment and said: "My prince's manpower will return to the mansion soon, and Xiaoqing will not be needed by then."

Yu Cheng didn't say a word. The prince can manage the palace for many years and fights outside. It's impossible that he doesn't have his own people, but he doesn't know the reason, they are not in the palace. Yu Chengcheng was a little sleepy. When the prince was reading, Yu Chengcheng would fall asleep after hitting him.

After staying in the house for a few days, Yu Cheng followed the prince to the outer courtyard. The stewards waited in fear, with their heads down and sweating. If there is any matter, let the stewards go down first, and ask someone to carry the account books back to Chiyuan.

You have to read the account books in person, so that you can deal with the stewards and give them a clear evidence. In the main room of Chiyuan, Yu Cheng flipped through the account books with one hand, and counted with the other hand, and reported the number with his mouth. The prince wrote it down beside him. There are piles of account books, if you want to finish all the checks, just the two of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to finish it without sleep for a month.

The stewards were in a hurry. After a discussion, they begged Concubine Lin. Concubine Lin snorted, "I know how to ask for help, and I know that I am in the backyard. Let them come in."

Wang Momo said worriedly: "In this backyard, no matter what you do, you can't hide from the eyes of those who care about you. The prince will take care of these stewards, but the young lady sees them here. Isn't it clear that you have trouble with the prince?"

"As long as it is handled well, dangerous things can be used." Concubine Lin said, "I want them to see who has the highest status in this palace."

Grandma Wang didn't say anything else, she was very clear about Concubine Lin's temperament, and she had some ideas in her heart, that is, no matter how much she said, it would be useless. Grandma Wang called the stewards to come in and shielded them with a screen. Concubine Lin sat behind the screen, only the voice come out.

The stewards knelt down and begged Concubine Lin, Concubine Lin said: "You don't have to worry too much, just make up for the shortfall."

Liu Guanshi said: "We just can't make up the money. We usually spend some, and the family makes up a little, and the money will disappear."

Concubine Lin snorted coldly in her heart, but said in her mouth: "I will make up for the bad money from me. It is not easy for the palace to train you. This time, for the sake of your sincere confession and the sake of your family, first send After passing the silver test, I will go to the prince to correct my mistakes. If my status is lowered, at least I can keep my food and clothing. Next time, I must remember to keep my duty and don't be half-hearted. The prince is not so easy to talk to. of."

Liu Guanshi was both surprised and happy, but when he thought of this, he couldn't help but carefully ask for proof: "The money you owe is not a small amount, and the prince is determined to investigate us this time, so he won't let it go so easily. We, I'm afraid this time, even if we make up money, we won't be able to pass the test."

"The prince still has me." Concubine Lin sat up straight and said, "The Lin family is not as good as the prince's mansion, but it is not a small family. This little money is still available. You just have to think about how to ask for the prince's forgiveness." , I’ll tell you good things here, it’s up to your fortune to see if it works.”

The stewards thanked each other, and steward Liu said: "Thank you, Princess Lin Fang, if we are useful in the future, just speak up."

"Understood, you go down and think of a countermeasure first." Concubine Lin said: "As for the money, you go to the Lin family to ask for it, and I will send someone to give me a message."

The stewards retreated, Wang Momo stepped forward and said, "Miss, is this really alright?"

"My lord is no longer the former lord." Concubine Lin looked at the door and said, "Mother and lord can pull me down from the position of princess for a joy, and one day in the future, they will be able to see me. I don't want to die of old age in this inner courtyard, the Lin family took so much effort to marry me into the palace, it's not for me to wait to die like this."

"Miss is the most favored by the prince now, so why bother with this matter, if it is not done well, let the prince remember it in his heart, and it will be even more difficult for the lady in the future." Wang Momo kindly persuaded.

"This is a gamble, we can't waste the opportunity like this for nothing." Concubine Lin's eyes lit up and said: "How dare you take this step if you are not sure."

Concubine Lin asked Nanny Wang to help her find the old concubine. As soon as she entered the door, Concubine Lin knelt down, which shocked both Nanny Hong and Madam Wang. Nanny Hong immediately went in and reported to the old concubine. The nanny helped the old concubine to come in in a hurry. Concubine Lin raised her head and cried: "Mother, forgive me for making my own decisions and helping the stewards through this hurdle. The prince is dealing with the affairs of the stewards, but the concubine meddles in the affairs of the stewards." Among them, I know that the prince and mother will be angry, but I am also for the palace, for the prince, I have never done anything selfish, if the mother wants to blame, I will fully admit it."

The old concubine asked Mother Wang to help Concubine Lin to get up, the panic on her face was gone, and she said: "What's the matter, come in and talk about it."

Concubine Lin shook her head, shook the hand extended by Wang Momo, and said: "Mother, I also have a business in my family, and I know what fame is. The prince is a great general in the dynasty, and he has made contributions to the emperor, but the expenses of the palace are all In terms of business, over the years, the business of the Wangfu outside has grown bigger and bigger. The quality of the business is related to the Wangfu. If there is any bad reputation in the business, it is the reputation of the Wangfu that is bad. The prince was in a hurry , I want to deal with all the stewards, but all the stewards are from the palace. If you move one or two, it can be said to be dealing with business matters. It's a business problem."

"The prince has been recuperating in the mansion for a year. There have been various rumors outside, which have damaged the reputation of the prince. Now that the prince is in good health, he is so angry. I am afraid that not only will he not be able to handle things well, but it will only make him feel worse. People with a heart make a fuss on this, and spread even worse words. The concubine thought about it, and the prince would not listen to the concubine's persuasion, but the concubine couldn't just stand by and watch the prince ignore it. Give them up money, let them reform, and give them a chance to reform, just for the prince's sake, the things in charge are small, but the prince's reputation is a big one, just deal with it, keep it for later, take it easy, don't let it go If you don’t want to, you will make a big move and cause unnecessary trouble.”

The old concubine sighed and said: "You also know the prince's temperament. He doesn't listen to anyone's words. The prince is too anxious about this matter, so if the stewards are changed, who will manage the outside business? You can turn it off at this time, there is nothing wrong with you doing this, don't kneel here, get up and talk."
