Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1066: Doze comes, someone hands me a pillow

The prince picked up the fan on the table and left.

However, the closer he got to Chengming Hall, the heavier Liu Yu's steps became.

He was almost suffocating with fear.

The moment he stepped into the Chengming Hall, his weak feet accidentally tripped over the threshold. Fortunately, Wang Gonggong supported him, so that he would not lose etiquette in front of the hall.

"Meet your father."

Liu Yu quickly calmed down and saluted as if nothing had happened.

The prince presented the fan to the royal table.

Emperor Yuan Zhen didn't say anything, but looked at Liu Yao.

Liu Yao's eyes fell on the fan. He saluted Emperor Yuan Zhen and then picked up the fan.

He took off the fan pendant and twisted it gently. The jade pendant split into two, revealing a thumb-sized seal.

He put the seal on the back of his hand, and after confirming the words on the seal, his lowered eyelashes trembled——

He accidentally discovered that the prince prince brother always carried the seal with him. Unexpectedly, after many years, the prince prince brother still hid the seal on his commonly used fan.

At this moment.

Liu Yu was so frightened that he could hardly breathe.

He was kneeling, with drops of cold sweat on his forehead, splashing on the red carpet.

Liu Yao's next move pushed him to the edge of collapse again.

Liu Yao took out an account book from his arms and turned to a specific page.

Then, he handed it over together with the seal in his hand.

Emperor Yuan Zhen looked at the account book, then checked the pages, and suddenly roared: "You rebellious and unfilial thing!"

"I originally thought you were a law-abiding person, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing behind my back!"

Liu Yu thought it was his account book of profits from the five cities in northern Xinjiang that was presented to Emperor Yuan Zhen.

Faced with such overwhelming anger, he was frightened and defended repeatedly: "Father, things are not what you imagined. Please listen to my explanation!"

Emperor Yuan Zhen slapped the table: "What are you still trying to explain? Now that the evidence is complete, your wolf ambition is obvious! What else do you have the nerve to explain?!"

Liu Yu was so frightened that he burst into tears. His voice was trembling and his words were incoherent: "Father, it's not what you think, it's really not! There are reasons for everything. Please listen to my explanation!"

Liu Yao watched from the side, somewhat puzzled.

Even if it is discovered that the prince and brother used Jin Chaozui to make a lot of money, they will not be afraid of it.

What is going on?

However, before he could figure out the reason, things changed again.

Emperor Yuan Zhen stood up and cursed: "You little beast! I have trusted you so much in the past. Is this how you let me down?!"

"I will not hold you accountable for secretly using Jin Chaozui to gain huge wealth behind my back." At this point, Emperor Yuan Zhen almost didn't mention it in one breath.

"I just want to ask you, what kind of wolfish ambition can drive you to conceal the matter of Jin Chaozui when the whole court is surrounded by civil and military officials!"

Liu Yu, who was almost frightened to death, was stunned.

Why are you drunk today?

What had he committed?

So, confused, he couldn't help but ask: "Father, what are you talking about?"

His expression didn't seem to be fake, but truly confused.

But in the eyes of Emperor Yuan Zhen, he felt that he was pretending to be stupid.

"Snapped!"

The ledger fell on Liu Yu's head.

Liu Yu didn't dare to dodge and let the account book smash him until he was dizzy.

"Things that are inferior to animals, see for yourself!"

Liu Yu picked up the account book, and when he saw the accounts recorded in the account book, he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had survived the disaster.

He didn't understand how his private seal could be stamped on Jin Chaozui's account book.The first reaction was that Bai Mingwei and his ninth brother were trying to frame him.

And this account book was also faked to achieve a certain purpose.

Just when he was stunned, a ruler was thrown in front of him: "You bitch, you ambitious little beast, what else do you have to say?!"

"You have gained so much fame in Jin Chao Zui, and you are as good as half of your boss. There is no way you don't know that Jin Chao Zui disappeared this time! You still haven't confessed honestly!"

From the moment he saw the account book, Liu Yu's heart dropped to his stomach.

After calming down, he soon learned the reason for the appearance of this account book.

The idiot Lao Jiu and Bai Mingwei joined forces to force him to be tied to Jin Chaozui.

According to his father's temperament, he must find Jin Chaizui and be responsible for this delivery.

The abacus is here!
But in the current situation, if he doesn't take the opportunity to admit that the money was earned from Jin Chaozui, then he will have to explain the source of the money.

If the account books had not been stolen, he could have found a name for the money with all his nonsense.

But now that the account book is gone, if he doesn't follow the results that Bai Mingwei and the others want to see, once the real account book is handed over to the emperor, he will die without losing his skin.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

You might as well admit it first and buy time to turn defeat into victory.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu immediately made a decision: "Father, it is true that I got dividends from Jin Chaozui, but I don't know why Jin Chaozui disappeared... Please enlighten me!"

Liu Yao, who had been watching, had already noticed something fishy.

not that simple.

It's definitely not that simple.

The prince and brother must have something to hide.

However, things have reached this point, and the best option is to go with the flow.

So he handed over his hand and said, "Father, today the crown prince and brother ordered people to clear away the dividends of more than 1 taels of silver. I don't believe that he doesn't know the situation."

When Liu Yu heard this, he was absolutely certain that this game was aimed at him.

He hurriedly retorted, trying to minimize the loss: "Father, I have never settled any accounts from now on, I am afraid that someone will frame me."

After speaking, he looked at Liu Yao with meaning.

Immediately afterwards, he began to express his loyalty again: "Father, the reason why I kept this secret from you is entirely for another reason."

"My son saw that his father was worried about the empty treasury, so he tried every means to make money."

"I originally thought that on the day of my father's birthday, I would give this money as a gift to my father and give him a surprise. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen... I ask my father for his enlightenment."

Anyway, this money should not be saved.

This is the time to cut off the tail to save yourself.

If you are reluctant to part with money, you cannot keep your glory.

So he dedicated it decisively and found a high-sounding reason by cleverly naming it.

According to the past, Emperor Yuan Zhen would have happily accepted the money and let everything be written off.

However, after what happened to Jian Jia, his trust in the prince was no longer what it used to be.

No matter how nice the prince's words were at the moment, he felt that he had ulterior motives in keeping so much silver without telling him.

So he was not moved by the prince's words at all.

He even looked like he was taking care of himself.

As if waiting for Liu Yu to continue editing.

Even so, Liu Yao also knew clearly that if the prince and brother were allowed to continue to quibble, then the father would probably listen to the words of the prince and brother.

We need to add more fire.

As the saying goes, when sleepiness comes, someone hands you a pillow.

When he was thinking about countermeasures, Bai Mingwei's torch came at the right time.
