Mad Concubine Married: Black-bellied Lord, wait and see

Chapter 296 Withholding Shen Shichang's One-Year Salary

The second prince's mother and son's expressions immediately changed when they heard the words. They stared at Shi Quan in a daze, waiting for Shi Quan's next words.

"Reporting to the two masters, Mr. Shen's entourage secretly came to Tao Ran Palace to tell the humble official, he said that Luo Fu Yin entered the palace and even met with His Majesty alone, it seems that there is something urgent."

The second prince was taken aback: There are two possibilities for Luofu Yin to enter the palace, either for Gong Jianming's case or for Shen Qingpeng's case?

"What else did he say?" Shen Guifei hurriedly asked Shi Quan.

Shi Quan said: "Your Majesty, in addition to Yin Jin of the Luo Mansion, there is also Concubine Mei Gui, who was also in Ganquan Palace at the time, and she kept fanning the flames, wanting His Majesty to punish Lord Shen. Now, Lord Shen is still kneeling in Ganquan Palace. Palace side hall."

Concubine Shen frowned: It's been almost an hour, and my brother is still kneeling, it seems that the emperor is determined to punish his brother.

"Huang Er, let's go and have a look. He is your uncle anyway. Without him to help you, you will be very difficult."

After a long time, Concubine Shen Gui asked the second prince to go over with her to have a look! !

The second prince hesitated for a while before standing up: "Concubine Mu, let's go and have a look together."

Concubine Shen Gui sighed, and hurried to Ganquan Palace with the second prince.

……

Within a cup of tea, Concubine Shen, mother and son came to the side hall of Ganquan Palace. When Shen Shichang saw them, his eyes lit up.

Sitting on the dragon couch, the emperor cast an indifferent glance at Shen Guifei's mother and son: "You guys came just in time, just in time to teach me how to punish Shen Shichang."

Father's tone was gloomy and cold. If he had known, he would not have come to ask his uncle. The second prince bowed humbly: "Father, I think Lord Shen should be let go. After all, he is not the one who made the mistake."

When the emperor saw the second prince, he remembered what the second prince had done, and he wished he could go up and slap him a few times.

"Second brother, you mean that I punished Shen Shichang. Is the punishment wrong?"

The second prince was startled by the emperor's cold questioning, and he quickly knelt down on his knees: "Father, my son didn't mean that, what my son meant was Master Shen already knew that he was wrong, and we can give him a reformation." Opportunity."

Shen Guifei, who was beside the second prince, said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the sage said: If you know your mistakes, you can correct them, and there is nothing good about them. Since Mr. Shen has already pleaded guilty, why don't we give him a chance to reform himself."

There was a sneer on the corner of the emperor's lips: "If I knew this, why did he go?"

Concubine Shen, mother and son looked at each other, they didn't dare to say any more, they suspected in their hearts: the emperor was so angry, not only because of Shen Qingpeng, it was probably because of Gong Jianming's matter.

"Your Highness, empress, you don't have to plead for me, it's all my fault."

Shen Shichang didn't want Concubine Shen and his son to continue pleading for him, the more they pleaded, the more unlucky he would be.

The emperor's cold eyes fell on Shen Shichang: "For the sake of your sincere repentance, I will withhold your salary for one year as a warning."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Shen Shichang kowtowed gratefully, secretly rejoicing that although he lost his salary for a year, he kept his official position.

"Second brother, aren't you going to participate in the donation event this afternoon? Why are you still doing nothing if you haven't prepared yet?"

After punishing Shen Shichang, the emperor brought the topic to the second prince again.

The second prince wanted to leave Ganquan Palace a long time ago, he felt that if he stayed for a second longer, he would suffocate to death.

"Father, don't worry, my son will definitely assist the Princess, and make the donation event very impressive."

The second prince replied humbly, and then left the side hall.

After he left, Concubine Shen was reprimanded by the emperor again: "Mrs. Shen, you are really disappointing me more and more. From now on, you stay in your Jingren Palace. It's fine, don't come out and fool around."

"No!" Shen Guifei lowered her head aggrievedly!

After a while, the emperor indifferently asked Concubine Shen and his sister to leave.

After Concubine Shen's brothers and sisters left, the Emperor said to Eunuch Liu, "Aren, go find some casual clothes, I'm going to Fuxing Building to see the situation."

Eunuch Liu replied respectfully: "Okay, I'll go get ready now, Lord Long Live."

……

Before it was time for the donation, Fuxing Building was full of guests. Today’s donation event was held in the independent small courtyard of Fuxing Building. Large round tables were placed in the garden, and the round tables were covered with maroon embroidered tablecloths. order.

There are all kinds of exquisite pastries and fruits on the big round table for those who come to participate in the event to enjoy. Today, in addition to court officials, more than 20 businessmen were invited to participate in the event.

In order to show their faces and discuss with each other, how much should they donate?
