Chapter 74 Complaint
In less than half a day, the news that Li Chuchu wanted to fill in the 6 taels of silver for Gu Chenzhou spread throughout the capital.

As soon as Li Yuxiao entered the city gate, he heard everything perfectly.

"Your Highness, why did the second princess get involved with Gu Shizi again? Then Gu Shizi is not with the eldest princess..."

Li Yuxiao glared at him before he could finish his words, "Then Gu Shizi is not engaged yet, who in the capital can't like him?"

The implication is that even if Li Chuchu likes him, it's okay.

However, the next moment, he wished he could swallow those words back as they were.

"Third Highness, Second Princess is here."

As soon as Li Yuxiao came out of the bath, he heard the housekeeper's report, and he smiled brightly.

"Let her in!"

As he spoke, he quickly put on his clothes, and strode towards the main hall in front of him.

As soon as Li Chuchu saw him, he immediately rushed over: "Third brother, you must help Chuchu, Chuchu is suffering..."

Li Yuxiao's heart ached when she acted like a spoiled child.

"Don't cry first, whoever bullied you, tell third brother quickly, and third brother will vent his anger on you."

Li Chuchu looked up at him, and opened his mouth to ask: "Then, can the third brother give Chuchu 6 taels first, and then Chuchu will tell you what happened?"

Li Yuxiao's handsome face stiffened instantly, and the heartache in his eyes was visibly reduced by the naked eye.

"You want 6 taels to make up for Gu Chenzhou's shortfall?"

He thought what he heard were just rumors, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Third brother, Gu Shizi's 6 taels was purely calculated by the elder princess's sister. If he doesn't pay the 6 taels now, he will be beaten to death by his father."

"Just help Chuchu, and treat it as Chuchu's borrowing, okay?"

When Li Yuxiao thought of the batch of goods that had been robbed, his flesh ached and his heart was bleeding.

He looked at Li Chuchu, and said with a troubled face: "Chuchu, to be honest, the third brother is also very poor."

"On the way back to Beijing this time, I was met by robbers, and all the goods were robbed. This time the loss was heavy, let alone 6 taels, I didn't even have 6000 taels."

Li Chuchu's crying stopped, as if he didn't believe it: "How is this possible? We are almost in the capital, who is so brave to rob the prince's carriage?"

Li Yuxiao sighed: "If you don't believe me, you can ask the accompanying guards, they have been beaten until they can't get up now."

Li Chuchu: "..."

How could she be so unlucky!

"So, Chuchu, the third brother really can't help you this time, you should go to the palace to find the queen mother."

As he said that, he half-pushed and half-delivered, and pushed the person out of the door.

Li Chuchu was dumbfounded.

That's how she got sent out?

Ning Yan looked at her face, and asked cautiously: "Second Princess, let's go to the palace to find the imperial concubine."

Otherwise, where can I find the 6 taels?

Half an hour later, Li Huang received the news that Li Chuchu had entered the palace, so she also put on her clothes and got up.

"Come on, let's go into the palace too."

How could she let go of beating the dog in the water like this?

Chu Chuchu wants money, dreaming!
As long as Li Huang is with her, she won't be able to take a penny away from the palace!

Half an hour later, Li Huang also entered the palace with Ling Yuan.

At that time, Li Chuchu had just arrived in Concubine Luo's Zhaoren Palace, crying and wanting Concubine Luo to give her 6 taels of silver.

However, as Li Huang expected, Concubine Luo refused.

"Chuchu, you should be considerate of my concubine mother. A few days ago, concubine mother had already spent a lot of money to deal with that little bastard. Now you are asking for 6 taels, and concubine mother really can't afford it. "

"Didn't your third brother come back? You..."

However, before she finished speaking, Li Chuchu cut off her words: "He said that he was robbed outside the city, and all the things he brought back from Lin'an were robbed."

Everyone knows Li Yuxiao's temperament. Although he has plenty of money, he is also very generous to Li Chuchu on weekdays.

But if he suddenly loses a large sum of money, he will not be so generous.

At least, in a short time, Li Chuchu couldn't deduct money from him.

Concubine Luo immediately frowned upon hearing this: "What a coincidence?"

Li Chuchu nodded: "It should be true, the third brother would not lie to me about this kind of thing."

For Li Yuxiao, she is still very confident.

Over the years, she has wooed Li Yuxiao so much that even if she goes out on a business trip, the things she brings back are all hers.

As long as she opened her mouth, Li Yuxiao would not hesitate at all.

"I will investigate this matter carefully. I always feel that this is too coincidental." A stern light flashed in Concubine Luo's eyes, and she looked at Li Chuchu, "Only at this moment, you can only Go ask your father and emperor for it, but mother and concubine really don't have money here."

Although she was in charge of the harem, she didn't dare to be too blatant. If the old emperor found out about it, then her forbearance for so many years would be in vain.

"Who does Emperor Father want?" Li Chuchu looked blank, "But, how could Emperor Father give it to me?"

In the eyes of the old emperor, except for his precious daughter Li Huang, everyone else is grass.

Not to mention, she is an unpopular concubine.

Concubine Luo Guifei took her hand and said angrily: "Silly boy, the fundraising for the relief fund has been so smooth, it's all thanks to you. It stands to reason that your father and emperor should reward you for a while."

"As for Gu Shizi, the piece of jade he photographed was damaged by someone from the Princess's Mansion, and she has to pay for it due to emotion and reason. You can't afford to borrow money for him."

After being reminded by her, Li Chuchu regained some energy.

That's right, that thing was broken by someone from the Princess's Mansion, and she should pay for it. If she cared about it, she would be confused and think about it.

The mother and daughter who reached a consensus soon went to the imperial study together.

What they didn't know was that the first thing Li Huang did when he entered the palace was to look for the emperor.

As soon as she entered, she knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Father, my son and minister are at fault, so I'm here to plead guilty."

The old emperor's heart softened when he saw her, and his heart ached even more when he saw her.

"Someone must be bullying my dear baby again. Tell me, father and emperor will make the decision for you."

Li Huang's eyes became hot, and he called out: "Father~"

Seeing her like this, the old emperor immediately panicked: "What's the matter? If you have something to say, don't cry."

Only then did Li Huang lighten the matter and said: "Father, Chu Chu assisted the prince and brother to hold an auction banquet, and Gu Shizi spent more than 6 taels to bid for a piece of warm jade from Mrs. Shangshu, son. I only thought that he was righteous in his heart and spent a lot of money for the people in the disaster area, but he never thought that he took that jade to the princess's mansion a few days ago to find his son."

"At the beginning, he was the one who said he didn't want to marry, but now, with such an expensive piece of jade, he came to the door to beg in every possible way, but his minister refused, so he hurt people with words, saying..."

Speaking of this, the expression on her face was a little bit more aggrieved, as if she couldn't express it.

The old emperor was about to die of anxiety, his eyes spit fire: "What did that Zhuzi say?"

Li Huang bit her lip, looking angry and ashamed: "He said that the servants and the guards were unclear, which annoyed the prince and brother. For the sake of the royal face, the prince and brother ambushed archers outside the servant's mansion."

"However, these three days have passed, and I haven't seen any archers. He is clearly trying to provoke the relationship between our brothers and sisters. When Erchen got angry, he asked him to throw him out of the mansion. When the guards threw him , it might be a bit heavy to hit, that piece of jade is broken."

The old emperor looked at his precious daughter with a strange expression, and if he wanted to say that Gu Chenzhou was lying, that would not be the case.

The prince mobilized so many guards, it was inevitable that he would alarm the people patrolling the city camp. As the emperor, he naturally knew something about it.

But later, for some reason, those guards withdrew again.

But, speaking of that guard...

The old emperor looked at Li Huang and asked, "I heard that the guard next to you is very good at martial arts, how many times has he saved you?"

Li Huang nodded: "That's right, if it wasn't for his high martial arts skills, my daughter wouldn't have to keep him in the mansion, but Gu Shizi slandered him several times, and my daughter couldn't get angry, so she made a move."

"Father, Gu Shizi's piece of jade is broken. Otherwise, I'd better pay him a piece of it. If she doesn't, someone will impeach me again in the morning."

In the past, Li Huang was domineering and domineering, coupled with the slander of Luo Guifei's mother and daughter, her reputation was not very good in the eyes of the people in the capital, and those courtiers would impeach her every now and then.

She's used to it.

"What are you paying for? No need to pay!" The old emperor glared and said, "It was he who overstepped the rules first, and the last one when he was rude. Since the two of you have broken the relationship, he shouldn't provoke you anymore. If he does, he has to bear the burden." Consequences, this is the consciousness that a man should have!"

He used to think that Gu Chenzhou was not pleasing to the eye, but he did not expect to be so inconsiderate.

Li Huang used to call him brother Shen Zhou, did he really consider himself the brother of the Royal Princess?
Ridiculous!
The old emperor was angry: "Don't worry, my darling, I will make the decision for you in this matter. In the court tomorrow, if anyone dares to say a word about you, I will immediately take off his black hat."

Li Huang touched his nose: "That's not necessary."

Although those courtiers said they had too many things to do, they were indeed talented after studying hard for ten years. How could they be dismissed because she, a princess, was unhappy?

At this moment, the palace servants outside the door came in to report: "Your Majesty, Concubine Luo and the Second Princess are here."
