Behind her was the empress dowager's cursing, Ye Zhen pretended not to hear it, she walked out of the bedroom, came to Murong Ke, tilted her head with a slight smile, and asked briskly, "Six princes, are you here?" How long have you been listening here?"
Murong Ke had a slight smile on his lips, he arrived at Ye Zhen's front foot when he entered the dormitory, originally intending to prevent Yaoyao from going in to meet the Queen Mother, but when he saw Xiao Qi beside her, he knew there was nothing to worry about.
He knew that Yaoyao was a kind and soft person, and he thought she would be persuaded by the queen mother, but he didn't expect that what he saw was Yaoyao on the other side. She was like a female warrior, protecting her beloved with armor and a sharp sword. People, don't allow the queen mother to hurt the emperor's heart again, it makes him feel sore and bitter.
If it was him, would she speak for him like this and feel sorry for him
This answer can't be thought of, and when I think of it, my whole heart will ache.
"The Emperor knew that the Empress Dowager wanted to see you, and was afraid that your heart would soften and someone would stop you. I didn't think you would come here first. The Emperor asked me to watch, in case the Empress Dowager would hurt you." Murong Ke cast his eyes on Xiao Qi, "However, Apparently the queen mother doesn't want to get close to you."
Ye Zhen looked at Xiao Qi following his gaze, and the smiles in her eyes spread like fireworks, "Xiao Qi is bored in the palace, I just took him out for a walk, I didn't think too much about it."
Murong Ke couldn't help laughing, feeling that Yaoyao is really naughty and cute sometimes, "I'll send her away tomorrow, don't worry."
"I know." Since you can't kill the queen mother, then send her to a far away place, so as not to disgust yourself in the palace all day, Ye Zhen is very much in favor of Mo Rongzhan's decision.
"Then... you go back, I should go and talk to the emperor." Murong Ke said in a low voice, even if he really wanted to stay for a while, it would be difficult for him to see her before today, and in the future he can only stay here In the front, the harem is not a place he can come in at will.
Ye Zhen frowned slightly and asked, "Is the emperor still busy? Have you all eaten?"
Murong Ke was stunned for a moment, they entered the palace today without even eating lunch, it seems that they haven't eaten anything until now, and now it's past time for dinner.
"I know he doesn't remember anything when he's busy." Ye Zhen said angrily, "Go and order the imperial dining room to send some meals to the emperor and the adults. It should be simple and hungry."
The eunuch following Ye Zhen immediately agreed in a low voice.
Murong Ke shook his head and smiled wryly, "The emperor discusses matters with the ministers, and he forgets when he gets busy."
"Hurry up and go get something to eat, what should you do if you're starving." Ye Zhen snorted, "Is your body more important than work?"
"Yes, respecting the empress's edict, I will immediately go back and stare at the emperor eating." Murong Ke said with a smile.
Ye Zhen laughed softly, and suddenly thought of her father and brother, "By the way, what happened to my father and elder brother?"
"Your Majesty has asked for the release of all the adults locked in the prison. Master Lu is currently in the imperial study. It seems that Master Xiao Lu has received an errand and is working outside with Marquis Jingning." Murong Ke said.
"That's good." Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. When she didn't come back, what she was most afraid of was that the Queen Mother would hurt her family. Fortunately, it was fine.
Murong Ke knew that he couldn't stay and talk anymore, so he cupped his hands slightly, "Yaoyao, then I'll go back first."
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile.
…
…
Murongyi brought over a large stack of account books. Not only the other ministers, but even Murong Zhan were shocked. He never expected that there were so many account books, and he remembered every loan clearly, even Even the purpose of borrowing money is marked.
"In the first year of Wenxuan, King Tong of Nanyue borrowed five million taels to build a mansion... In the eighth year of Wenxuan, King Haojun borrowed three million taels of silver..." Mo Rongzhan randomly picked up an account book and read it. It's an old debt from before, and there is no one to pay back the money.
"Your Majesty, this is a lot of money." Mr. Xu said to Mo Rongzhan holding the account book.
"There's a lot of money, and it's definitely not easy to get it back." Murong Zhan snorted coldly, otherwise why haven't you paid back any money for so many years
The former emperor's treasury must have piled up with money, and he would not refuse anyone who borrowed money, so it's hard for him to worry about money now.
"That's right, some of these people have ascended to heaven, how do we get them back?" Huang Chan said.
"It's only natural that the father should pay the debt to the son." Mo Rongzhan said in a cold voice, "Call all the people from the household department over and ask them to calculate the total amount of this account book overnight."
"..."
The minister in the imperial study room was crying silently in his heart, he was so hungry! In the morning, I was still in a nervous mood. I don’t know if it will be a different emperor who can’t eat much at all. I haven’t eaten anything since lunch. Although there is always tea in the imperial study, the more I drink, the hungrier I look. The emperor's attitude is that he intends to discuss until tomorrow.
Ouch, that would really starve to death.
When Murong Ke came back, he found that there were many people in the imperial study room. Murong Zhan was still scolding the borrower, but he didn't notice that he was back.
He went up and saluted, "Your Majesty."
When Mo Rongzhan saw him, he finally put down the account book in his hand, "Is the Palace of Compassionate Peace quiet?"
"When I arrived, the Queen Mother was already talking to the Queen Mother." Murong Ke stepped forward and whispered, and briefly told Murong Zhan what Ye Zhen had said to the Queen Mother, "...I can't get in the way .”
"Why did Yaoyao go to the Compassionate Ning Palace? Didn't the Queen Mother treat her?" Mo Rongzhan asked with raised eyebrows.
Murong Ke laughed and said, "The empress is with Xiao Qi."
Murong Zhan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, his thin lips were tightly pressed so that he didn't laugh out loud, his Yaoyao is really a clever ghost.
"Let the queen mother leave the palace at dawn tomorrow, I don't want to see her again." After Mo Rongzhan smiled, the smile on his face cooled down.
"Yes." Murong Ke replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, shouldn't the adults have something to eat and rest first?"
Murong Zhan was taken aback, and then remembered that they hadn't eaten for almost a whole day.
Those ministers had staring eyes, but they didn't dare to look at Murong Ke, for fear that the emperor would see that they really wanted to eat.
"The empress has ordered the imperial dining room to prepare meals. If you don't eat anymore, she will probably come over to serve the emperor herself." Murong Ke said in a low voice, if Yaoyao was not carried out, he felt that the emperor might not be willing to stop and eat of.
Murong Zhan laughed, "Then stop first, go to the side hall to have dinner, and wait for the people from the household department to arrive, and then we will settle the accounts together."
Including Mr. Xu, everyone quietly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. I really don't know what the sixth prince said to the emperor, but he could still make the emperor stop and rest with a smile.
No matter what, take a break if you have a break. With so many books, I don't know when it will be liquidated.
