The accounts are divided into open accounts and secret accounts.
Naturally, Prince Ning would only hand over a clean and clear account.
But the officials didn't know the secrets involved. If they could ask Prince Ning to come up with the account so bluntly, he must have a back-up plan.
Sure enough, King Ning sent someone to get the accounts from the palace and presented them to the officials. Later, Huang Tiju brought another account, which was all the money that King Ning had embezzled from silk reeling taxes.
Prince Ning had no excuse and was immediately deprived of his title by the officials. He was also sentenced to confinement in the palace. He was not allowed to take a step for half a year, and no one was allowed to visit him. Any visit, no matter what the reason, would be regarded as forming a clique for personal gain, and all the front officials of the palace were detained. , were tortured and all were sent to Chaozhou.
As for the saint, he was naturally criticized by the officials for being "raised but not taught", and his salary was deducted for a year, and he was deprived of the power to manage the Sixth Palace.
This kind of punishment is absolutely unprecedented and severe for the saint and Prince Ning.
But to others, it is just a sprinkle of water. After all, they were just punished and confined.
And what about Xiao Bi? The officials only showed sympathy and comfort, and then promoted Xiao Yichen to be the envoy of the Dingguo Army and the chief inspector of the school.
When Shen Nanbao heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then asked the official, "Is he... okay?"
How can this be good? His own father lost his life because of this, but the culprit was only deprived of his title and imprisoned in the mansion. Anyone can explode on the spot.
But Fang Guan could hear the slightest bit of uneasiness hidden in Shen Nanbao's words, and said: "Fortunately, Di Ji, don't worry, the master has never experienced anything. He was silent for a while, and now he is wondering about the future." what to do."
Shen Nanbao pursed his lips a little, trying to respond to the comfort in her words, "He has been busy with this matter in the past few months. He can take some time off whenever he can. After all, he has done everything he should do. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so Just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"
In the past, in the eyes of saints, Concubine He was just a human figure holding the title of concubine. Even if Concubine He was later adopted by Prince Kang, it was not good enough for the saint to read her fortune.
But now that Prince Ning was banned and he was deprived of the right to manage the Sixth Palace, the saint felt a deep sense of crisis when he looked at Concubine He, whose face was full of joy every morning.
This sense of crisis could be suppressed at first, but as the officials handed over the power of the Sixth Palace to Concubine He and Concubine Shu, and Concubine He was promoted to Concubine He, the saint seemed to be unable to sit still.
In the past, the concubine He said a few words, and the saint would be caught in the wind, and he would just live like this.
It's not like that now. The concubine said a few words, and the saint muttered a few words back without salt or sauce.
So much so that for a long time, Shen Nanbao's pleasure was to sit in the Zhengyang Palace and watch the two go head-to-head.
It's the same thing today. As soon as Concubine He, who was wearing red and gold, came in, her bright and radiant smile reflected the light of the sky, piercing people's eyes, and her words also pierced the hearts of all the concubines.
"I was just waiting for the official family to have breakfast, so I came late. Don't you blame me!"
This is strange to say, because it shows that the saint is too stingy, but if it is not strange, it seems that the saint is a bit too submissive.
Shen Nanbao thought about it secretly, and quietly raised his eyes to look at the saint from behind a group of people.
The saint sat at the top and said coldly, "What's strange is that the wall of Zichen Hall said that the official family left a little late. I thought it was because the official family was short of talents in the near summer, but I didn't expect it. The meal is late, it seems that Concubine He did not manage the staff in her palace well——"
the saint drawled.
In this prolonged moment, the saint raised his eyebrows coldly, because this action also lifted the entire upper half of her face. A small amount of sunlight filtered in through the window, shining directly on these eyebrows. There is a burning sensation that cannot be ignored.
"In that case, I will ask Nanny Qin to go to your palace, Concubine He, and ask her to teach the people in your palace well so that nothing big goes wrong in the future. Then there will be no place to cry."
The smile on Concubine He's face stopped for a moment, but she quickly curled up her lips and said, "Don't worry, sir, the people in my palace have always been very measured. Maybe they saw that I have been too tired to be in charge of the Sixth Palace recently, so they felt sorry for me and quietly It seems a little late for breakfast!"
The saint was not unaware of Concubine He's showing off with a gun and a stick.
It's just that these words were so petty that the saint was stunned when he heard them say, "They are your slaves, but they are also slaves of the official family. It is true that I feel sorry for you, but because of this, I will pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelons... Let's talk about it later." Can you bear the responsibility for the crime?"
Without waiting for Concubine He to say anything, the saint picked up the train of his skirt and said, "Of course, Concubine He has just taken over the management of the Sixth Palace. Naturally, many things are not so thoughtful. To blame you too harshly would seem to be unkind of me."
yes.
Even if you manage the sixth house as a noble concubine, so what? A saint is a saint, and he will overwhelm you in terms of status.
Concubine He was not in the lower echelon, so she had a sad face all morning. After coming out of Zhengyang Palace, as soon as she stepped across the threshold, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you still pretending to take it out in front of me! Why don't you clean your eyes and see where you are now! A down-and-out phoenix is worse than a chicken. Don't you understand this?"
Shen Nanbao and Emperor Yongcheng were walking behind.
Shen Nanbao was okay, he pursed his lips and held it back, but Emperor Yongcheng couldn't hold it back. She made a puff sound, which made Concubine He turn around immediately, and her eyes were like knives, swiping at Shen Nanbao.
"I wonder who is so unruly? It's you -" Concubine He smiled, "What? What I said was funny?"
There is no reason to ask others to bear the responsibility for the disaster caused by laughing. Emperor Yongcheng knelt down and said, "My dear concubine, it's because I have no integrity. I just told Yongle about interesting things in the past. I couldn't help but laugh. I couldn't help but laugh." The thought overwhelmed you."
Concubine He glanced from Shen Nanbao to Emperor Yongcheng, then from Emperor Yongcheng to Shen Nanbao, and finally gave out a sly smile.
"Since we are talking about interesting things, it doesn't hurt to laugh... too many things have happened in this palace recently, and the laughter is not as much as before."
The last sentence was elongated.
Shen Nanbao felt strange, and after a quick glance, he noticed Emperor Yongfu coming from behind.
Emperor Yongfu frowned, but said nothing. She bowed her knees to Concubine He, then turned around and left.
Concubine He was also disappointed, glanced at Shen Nanbao, and led a group of palace people away in a grand manner.
At this time, Emperor Yong'an rushed over from the door frame, put her hands on Emperor Yongcheng's neck, and shot towards Emperor Yongcheng with a straight face, "Weird! I've never seen you like this before. He can talk!"
Emperor Yongcheng was made uncomfortable by her move, and she stretched out her hand to pull Emperor Yong'an off her body, "Tell people what they say when you see them, and tell ghosts when you see ghosts. Don't I understand this? Really?" Do you think my brain is just for physical strength?"
Emperor Yong'an didn't like her, and insisted on hanging on her. Her beautiful throat was pinched deliberately, making it look very crisp, "That's really what I thought, but... according to what you said, you think we are... A human being, or is the imperial concubine a human being?"
With a word from you or a word from me, Shen Nanbao raised his head in the midst of their chatter and laughter.
At that time, the sun was approaching two poles, and if he didn't leave, he was afraid that Xiao Yichen would change his shift, and he didn't know when they would see each other again.
Shen Nanbao couldn't help but touch the twin bells, bowed his knees and said goodbye to them.
Seeing her quick steps, Fang Guan said in a low voice: "Don't worry, Emperor Ji. As long as it's your turn, the master will be waiting for you there."
But Shen Nanbao was not like that, "After the shift time, if others don't see him, wouldn't it be easy to show off the trap? The palace is not like outside, everything needs to be cautious..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Nanbao rubbed his chest to himself.
Upon seeing this, Fang Guan hurriedly supported her, "Is Di Ji uncomfortable?"
Shen Nanbao took a long breath, "It's just that my chest is tight... I guess I just walked in a hurry."
Fang Guan didn't feel relaxed at all when he heard this, "How could it be possible? It's been like this every day these past few days. I'm afraid... when I see the master later, how about Di Ji asking the sick doctor to come and take a look at you?"
Shen Nanbao laughed at her, "It's not like we didn't send a doctor over to take a look. Isn't it because the nasal hemorrhoids are causing trouble due to the recent change of seasons?"
Fang Guan said: "Speaking of this, I also want to say something about this medicine to treat nasal hemorrhoids..."
As Zhengxiang said, Shen Nanbao stepped into the small door and sneezed loudly.
Hearing this, Xiao Yichen in the door instantly lost his face, "Are you taking the medicine as prescribed by Dr. Mao Ji?"
Shen Nan Baoben had a wrinkled face, but when he saw Xiao Yichen, he smiled suddenly, "Not yet. I haven't finished the medicine Sister Yongfu gave me last time, so I'll take what she gave me first."
"It's been so long? You haven't finished eating yet?"
At this time, Shen Nanbao was a little embarrassed, "I didn't eat well before. Recently, my deep-nosed hemorrhoids have become more and more serious, so I kept drinking."
Xiao Yichen's already cold face became more and more depressed, "It's weird, if you eat like you do, how can nasal hemorrhoids be cured?"
Xiao Yichen paused for a moment and then said: "But you'd better not take Yongfu Emperor Ji's medicine. Who knows if it's mixed with anything."
Shen Nanbao said: "Sister Yongfu won't do it."
Xiao Yichen raised his eyebrows now, "How long has it been since you trusted her so much? What benefits has she given you?"
He said it, and Shen Nanbao also said, "What's the benefit? I just don't think she is such a person when we get along with her..."
"If that's not the case, what kind of person is that?"
Xiao Yichen was a little angry, but looking at the red tip of his nose that she had rubbed just now, he couldn't bear to blame it, so he held his waist and walked around in the center of the earth, taking a deep breath to clear his heart, and then He said slowly, "You always judge people accurately, I know that, but you should also understand my feelings. I don't want you to take this risk."
In fact, she is the one who should soften her tone and appease people now!
Shen Nanbao's heart felt a little weak, so he took his hand and put it in his palm, "I know..."
She paused suddenly.
Xiao Yichen looked over, and before he had time to turn his eyes, he saw her clutching her chest and making an extremely uncomfortable "oh" sound.
"How can you……"
Before Xiao Yichen finished speaking, he saw her vomiting a mouthful of blood in shock and spraying it directly on her hand.
