Haoyue walked to the window and looked through the nanmu window lattice.
Yuntao took off the heavy headdress while she waited on Yu Su, and was about to take a rest when a high-pitched voice came from outside the door, "The Emperor has arrived."
The moment the door was pushed open, she stood up and walked to Gu Ziyan, "I have seen the emperor, why does the emperor come here so late?"
Gu Ziyan helped Yu Su up in a pretentious manner, and said with a smile, "I happened to pass by Weiyang Palace tonight. I thought I hadn't seen you in a few days, so I came to take a look. The queen didn't embarrass you, right?"
"I have also heard about what happened today. The Queen is usually a very nice person, but she is a bit jealous. You were wronged by the insect infestation before."
Yu Su shook his head, his clear eyes full of happiness, "With the emperor's care, I no longer feel aggrieved."
"After all, I am sorry for you. I know clearly that the insect infestation has nothing to do with you, but I still don't even have a chance to speak. Now that the government and the public are all powerful officials, I am powerless to do anything I want." Gu Ziyan sighed, but his eyes It landed directly on Yu Su's body.
He had already said this, so she should have asked what was going on, right?
Yu Su was stunned for a moment, but he just frowned and looked at him with some confusion, "Your Majesty, you are the Emperor, shouldn't your rights be the greatest? Don't they all listen to the Emperor?"
"The Emperor is too merciful. When faced with such disobedient people, he should be put to death! Just like those disobedient servants in my concubine's family. If they still don't obey with the money given by my concubine's family, then they will do it. What’s the use?”
Gu Ziyan:......
Why is it completely different from what was expected? Shouldn't she directly ask the concubine if there is anything she can do to help the emperor?
Seeing that there was no response, Gu Ziyan's eyes gradually dimmed, "Forget it, let's not talk about these troublesome things. My beloved, please rest early. I have to go to Fengqi Palace. I will not rest here today."
"I respectfully send you to your Majesty."
Yu Su saluted directly without thinking. It wasn't until he watched Gu Ziyan leave that he withdrew his direct gaze, his eyes becoming colder and colder.
Yuntao immediately put the cloak on Yu Su. Seeing that her mother-in-law remained silent, she finally said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty wants your Majesty to help you tonight, right?"
If she didn't know anything before, she would have thought that the emperor said these words because he liked the empress. But now that I know everything, I know that what the emperor wants is for the mother-in-law to provide some money after her death. Is there anything that cannot be solved as long as there is money?
If what the empress just said was what the emperor needed, she would definitely have to talk about borrowing money now.
The empress' current situation is really very dangerous.
"He just wants me to ask the reason, and then like other concubines, I want to help him solve his difficulties. Unfortunately, I already know what medicine he is selling in his gourd."
What Yu Su looked down upon the most was men who played with feelings and took advantage of women. Such men were the least capable.
"Go to bed early! It's going to be very lively these days."
"yes."
........
In the blink of an eye, three days later
Gu Ziyan suddenly said that he would hold a grand birthday banquet for Concubine Shu, and all the concubines in the harem would be present, so early in the morning, all the concubines from each palace went to Fengqi Palace to pay their respects to the queen.
Even the concubine Shu who had just been promoted was also present. She was wearing a rare brocade and her whole body was completely new.
Everyone in the palace is not a fool, so they naturally know that Shu Concubine should be rewarded by the emperor.
The concubine who used to be submissive when walking now has a swaying posture as she walks, as if she wants to show off everything on her body. "I send my regards to the Queen, may the Queen be blessed with peace and prosperity."
Nangong Yue, who knew what happened a few days ago, just smiled slightly, "Shu concubine, you don't need to be polite. It's true that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles! This concubine sister looks really good in Yun brocade. I heard that a group of people came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago. Xin Yun Brocade, except for the concubine who got two horses in the entire harem, the emperor seems to have given the rest to you, my sister. It seems that my sister's favor is coming."
The concubine raised her hand, covering her words with a handkerchief, and said shyly, "It's just that my father helped the emperor solve a small matter, so the emperor loved the house and gave the concubine some rewards. There is no honor or favor."
Murong Lin and Yu Su were both concubines, and they both sat close to each other. Murong Lin suddenly came close to Yu Su and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I heard that the emperor hit a wall with you the day before yesterday, so he turned around. So I went to find Shubin. Shubin’s family is rich and her family owns several mines. I heard that two or three hundred thousand taels of gold were produced.”
"This concubine's family really spent a lot of money to please the emperor!" Yu Su clicked his tongue. He didn't even know that he was being used, and he was still complacent.
"If you ask me, then Shubin's mother-in-law will definitely be furious. This is gold in vain. Just because Shubin said one more thing, she lost almost ten years of money. You are still smart." Murong Lin has now Knowing what the emperor looks like, he naturally has the attitude of watching a show.
Exposing money, doesn't this clearly give the emperor an opportunity?
"Believe it or not, in less than two months, Shubin's whole family will be raided." Yu Su smiled lightly, having already seen Shubin's future days.
You can see it at a glance, that's all.
The current concubine is the fate of the original owner's natal family.
Murong Lin nodded, "I believe it. I believe everything you said. A few days ago, the queen had used the savings she had saved over the years to buy food and grass for her parents' family. It is now on the transportation road. It's just that she is worried about the situation in the military camp. There are people from the emperor, so I want to ask you if you have any plans to hide the truth."
Yu Su picked up the tea cup next to the table, took a sip and then said slowly: "Then dig a hole on the only way to store food, and put some unimportant things on the carriage. What the emperor's people found was just clothes and other things given by the empress because she felt sorry for her father and brother."
In fact, it doesn't have to be so troublesome, as long as she casts a blindfold.
It's not impossible to wait until the need arises.
"I didn't expect that Sister De Fei and Sister Xian Fei have such a good relationship. They even whispered in front of us. I don't know what the two sisters said. Can we let the sisters have fun together?" Shubin did not forget it. , the emperor said, always pay attention to the news of these concubines’ friendship.
This was a mission he gave her alone.
Yu Su raised his eyes slightly, put down the tea cup in his hand, and looked at Concubine Shu with a smile, "I and Sister De Fei are thinking that the emperor has given so many things to my sister, what kind of gift should we give? Okay, of course, if Sister Shubin wants anything, you can tell us directly, and we don’t have to think so much."
