Peerless Moe Concubine: Get the Black Belly of Your Highness

Chapter 501 Feng Yanli's Concealment
"What's your name?" Nalan Ying asked, frowning at the big man.

"Subordinate Liu Hu!" The big man replied in a deep voice.

"Liu Hu!" Nalan Ying murmured.

"This subordinate is the nursing home of Mazhuang!" Liu Hu explained.

"I can't complain!" Nalan Ying nodded, and while the two were talking, a light suddenly lit up in the small courtyard, and Aunt Qiu, accompanied by Qiu Yue, came out with a red lantern.

"What happened outside? Why is it so noisy?" Aunt Qiu asked suspiciously.

"Aunt Qiu, the Concubine Ying is here!" Liu Hu said in a low voice.

"Ah? Who do you think is here?" Aunt Qiu's tone flashed doubt.

"It's Empress Yingfei!" As soon as Liu Hu finished speaking, he saw only one figure and rushed over, grabbed Nalan Ying's arm, and looked at her in surprise: "Empress!"

It was Qiuyue who came, and her eyes were burning with surprise, her lips were twitching, as if she wanted to say something.

"Silly girl, why are you still standing there? Why don't you quickly help your mother in? It's the middle of the night, the dew is so heavy, don't let your mother catch a cold!" Aunt Qiu said cautiously.

"Aunt Qiu, I'm fine!" Nalan Ying said with a faint smile.

"Liu Hu, didn't you scare your mother? It's the middle of the night, and you guys are holding long knives!" Aunt Qiu said, looking at Liu Hu worriedly.

"Don't worry, Aunt Qiu, we didn't scare you!" Liu Hu hurriedly explained.

"Okay, there is no business for you here, go to a nearby place and look around! If there is anything else, we will let you know!" Aunt Qiu said.

"Yes. This subordinate is resigning!" Liu Hu responded, then turned around and led the people away with his hands clasped.

"Your Majesty, let's go in!" Qiuyue said, grabbing her arm.

"Okay!" Nalan Ying nodded, and followed Qiuyue into the wing room.

Agarwood was burned in the warm room, and as soon as one walked in, one felt a burst of relief, and the cold hands and feet gradually became warmer.

"Your Majesty, why are you here in the middle of the night? Didn't you bring a guard with you?" Aunt Qiu quickly poured warm tea for her and put it in her hands.

"I'm not thirsty!" Nalan Ying frowned.

"Warm your hands first if you're not thirsty, look at your hands are cold!" Aunt Qiu said distressedly as she put a new wool cloak on her body.

"Mother, come out of the palace so late, but there is something important?" Qiuyue looked at her puzzled.

"That's right, Qiuyue, go and call Yuan Qing over, I want to see him!" Nalan Ying put the tea bowl on the table and said coldly.

"Yes!" Qiuyue quickly put on her clothes, turned and walked out.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Aunt Qiu looked at Nalanying worriedly when she saw Qiuyue walk out.

"Aunt Qiu, there is something wrong with the account book!" Nalan Ying said in a deep voice.

"What?" Aunt Qiu's expression changed.

"I saw something wrong with the ledger that Feixue took from Ma Zhuang that day!" Nalan Ying said with a frown.

"The account book has always been held by the owner of Yuanzhuang!" Aunt Qiu said with a frown.

"That's why I came to Yuan Qing to find out!" Nalan Ying said.

Before Aunt Qiu could speak, she heard hurried footsteps in the yard, it was Yuan Qing who was called by Qiu Yue in the middle of the night.

"Villa Master Yuan is here!" Qiuyue opened the curtain and entered the inner room to report to Nalan Ying.

"Okay!" Nalan Ying nodded and walked out.

Yuan Qing, who was dressed in green, stood there, obviously he came in a hurry, and even one of the buttons on the top of his collar was not fastened.

"Yuan Qing has met your empress!" Yuan Qing's eyes were full of exhaustion that could not be concealed.

Nalan Ying didn't speak, but his cold and stern eyes fell on his face, with scrutiny.

Yuan Qing knelt on the ground, Nalan Ying didn't ask him to get up, he just knelt there.

"Yuan Qing, you are so courageous!" Nalan Ying's cold voice pierced Yuan Qing's back like a steel needle, causing bursts of coldness in his body.

"Your Majesty, what do you say?" Yuan Qing lowered his head and said.

"Yuan Qing, explain to me what happened to the 2000 million taels of silver?" Nalan Ying slapped the table heavily and asked.

When Qiuyue and Aunt Qiu heard it, they hurried over and closed the door of the wing room, immediately blocking the cold air outside.

"Your Majesty, do you know?" Yuan Qing looked up at her.

"There is only output, no income, and there is no suitable reason to explain it. You think I am a fool, can't you see it?" Nalan Ying said with a cold look at him.

"Mistress Qi, have you seen the two words next to the 2000 million taels of silver?" Yuan Qing asked calmly.

"I see, the word royal, how do you explain it?" Nalan Ying glared at him.

"Your Majesty, someone borrowed this money from my subordinates!" Yuan Qing leaned over and said.

"Yuan Qing, who gave you the right to give away favors with the money of the palace, such a large amount, do you guarantee that you can return it after you borrow it?" Nalan Ying looked at Yuan Qing angrily and shouted.

"Subordinates can't guarantee it, but the emperor can guarantee it!" Yuan Qing bowed his head and said.

"Your Majesty?" Nalan Ying was taken aback.

"What's going on? Yuan Qing, tell me clearly!" Nalan Ying said with a frown.

"There has been a drought in Jiangsu and Zhejiang recently, and the people are in dire straits! I don't know if the empress knows about this?" Yuan Qing looked at Nalan Ying and said.

"I don't know, no one told me!" Nalan Ying blinked and said.

"Master Yuan, just say, does the drought in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have anything to do with our 2000 million taels of silver?" Qiuyue couldn't help asking.

"Yes!" Yuan Qing nodded.

"What's the matter? Hurry up and finish it all at once. Doesn't it make you anxious because you're always so slow?" Aunt Qiu interjected.

"The emperor allocated money to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and the apostles relieved the disaster. Unexpectedly, the money in the treasury was thrown into it, but it was like a drop in the bucket. Empress Dowager Mo's family is from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Every time I read the memorials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I was so worried that I fell ill soon. , Your Majesty originally planned to go to Liuli Country to find you, but unexpectedly the disaster in Jiangsu and Zhejiang delayed the trip!" Yuan Qing sighed.

"And then?" Nalan Ying didn't expect the matter to be so complicated.

"Afterwards, Empress Dowager Mo became depressed and went around raising money to help Jiangsu and Zhejiang tide over the difficulties, but after all, the new emperor came to the throne, and the treasury was short of money, so that, not long after, the emperor was forced to worry about money! "Yuan Qing said slowly.

"But Ah Xie didn't tell me about this?" Nalan Ying felt that something collapsed in his mind. The relationship between the two people who had painstakingly cultivated and the unreserved trust in each other suddenly became a success in an instant. It's a big joke. He actually concealed such an important matter from her.
