Reborn Daughter

Chapter 341 Taking the initiative to attack (3)
The Empress Dowager's complexion darkened, and she was about to say something when she suddenly stopped, thought for a while, and smiled meaningfully: "Forget it, my old lady will give you a gift before you get married, and the full moon and the garden will serve Princess Zi to put on makeup, This kind of important matter is not something that a harem woman like Aijia can interfere with, you'd better go see the emperor and see how he decides." Ding Zi smiled gratefully at the queen mother, the main purpose of Ding Zi's entering the palace this time was to meet the emperor, but Always consider the position of the queen mother, and secondly, being able to see the emperor safely in the queen mother's palace also shows that the queen mother wants to protect her, so that the emperor will also be afraid, and block all possible dangers, Ding Zi To see the emperor.

Man Yue and Man Yuan took rouge to put on Ding Zi's makeup. After a while, Ding Zi's face was covered with a thick layer of white powder. The complexion could no longer be described as pale. After Ding Zi kowtowed to the queen mother to thank her, she went to The imperial study asked to see the emperor. At this time, the emperor was correcting the article. He heard Ding Zi come to ask for an audience. Thinking of the previous incident, he didn’t want to see him, but he heard the eunuch beside him said that Ding Zi’s face was not good, so he also came from the queen mother. To see him is to have to meet him.

Who knew that as soon as Ding Zi entered the room, she began to cry softly and didn't speak for a long time. The noisy emperor was a little upset, and said in a low voice: "Princess Zi came to see me, is she just crying!"

Ding Zi raised her head with tears in her eyes, she was so weak and pitiful, her face was bleeding white, but her lips were very bright red, her appearance was a bit weird, but she was surprisingly beautiful, the emperor's heart moved, and then he calmed down and said: "Okay Don't cry, Princess Zi sees what's wrong with me, I will make the decision for you if you have any grievances, don't be afraid."

"Your Majesty, I really don't know what to say. This minister is guilty. This one is here to plead guilty."

"Oh, what's your crime!" The emperor was a little surprised, and he couldn't think of what wrong Ding Zi could do. He knew very well that Ding Zi was a smart person, and it might not be a crime to come to see him today to ask for reward.On the surface, it has not changed half.

Ding Zi was a little hesitant, with fear and admiration for the emperor on his face, the adoring eyes that regarded the emperor as the son of heaven made the emperor very satisfied, and his self-esteem was surprisingly inflated.Ding Zi gritted her teeth, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, but she lowered her head and said, "Can I ask the emperor for kindness first, and spare Weichen's death, otherwise I dare not say anything."

"What a big deal, it made Princess Zi so nervous."

"This... I beg the emperor to save this humble official from dying, so that this humble official dares to say it!"

"Bold, do you want to threaten me!" The emperor was very curious in his heart, but he shouted angrily on his face. Ding Zi trembled from fright, shrugged her shoulders, and cried again in a low voice, "My minister ... Wei Chen said... Wei Chen wants to report an aunt in the mansion for selling private salt."

"Oh..." The emperor didn't pay attention at first, but suddenly his eyes widened and he asked, "What did you say, say it again!"

"Weichen found out that an aunt in the mansion should have participated in the illegal act of reselling private salt, which was a major event involving the whole family, so Weichen was very scared and couldn't find any way, so he went to ask the Queen Mother, but this Daqi It's all up to you, the emperor. If you don't ask the emperor, no one dares to make a decision. I wanted the queen mother to give me grace to spare my death, but the queen mother didn't touch the matter of the previous court, so I had no choice but to fight with the emperor. I said it ten times, killing is punishment, there is nothing I can do about it. Who told me that there is such a scum in my servant's mansion, who dares to resell private salt? " Following Ding Zi's words, the emperor's expression became more and more serious.

Ding Zi only said that Aunt Bai's behavior was illegal and harmful to the lives of the people in the mansion, but the emperor thought of more than that.Soldiers, iron, and salt are all related to the lifeblood of a country. If merchants get iron and salt and sell them at high prices, monopolizing the country's salt industry, and the people cannot afford salt, they will not rebel.Furthermore, if these things fall into the hands of rebellious people, it is no less taboo than the emperor for the ministers who hold heavy soldiers in the court, and even more taboo. If his lifeline is caught in the hands of others, he will probably have no sleep at night. .

From ancient times to the present, the state has monopolized the salt industry in order to cause unnecessary panic and certain taxes. Once caught selling illegal salt, it will be dealt with as a felony. Those who are ambitious cannot be frightened.The emperor looked at Ding Zi, and saw that he had been watching him cautiously from behind, afraid that he would kill the whole house in a fit of anger.She probably didn't know the reason, and she dared to risk her life to report, obviously because she wanted to conceal the possible final result.

But the emperor doesn't think that a little aunt in the servant's mansion has such ability to be able to sell official salt. If it is true, you will be punished severely, but Princess Zi dares to risk her life to report the letter, and I can also promise you that if the facts are as you said, and there are no people involved in your house, I can keep you safe. You first Kneel down!"

Ding Zi repeatedly kowtowed to thank her and withdrew. As soon as Ding Zi withdrew, the emperor immediately clapped his hands twice. After a while, a man in black with a cold expression and a murderous look appeared: "Go and find out what Princess Zi said is true." Facts, if I send someone to keep an eye on the facts, I will never let these daring villains go."

"Yes!" The man in black stepped out of the imperial study room, but the emperor picked up the pen but couldn't continue writing the memorial.

"Pa" the emperor was pacing back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his back. Who is the power behind this person? With such ability, someone who acts without anyone noticing does not necessarily have a high position in the court, and The family power is definitely not small.The emperor immediately reduced the target to ten people.

snort!Life is so peaceful that she actually wants to turn against him!damn thing!
Ding Zi left from the imperial study and went to Changle Palace. After expressing her full gratitude to the Queen Mother, she left the palace and quietly returned to the Minister's Mansion.

In Suiyun Courtyard, Aunt Bai had no choice but to send a message to Steward Hua, and the two met secretly again: "How is the matter going, have the things been shipped out!"

Manager Hua frowned and shook his head: "Originally, we shipped out three times within half a year, but now we are shipping out all the items for the second half of the year. The goal is too big, and the Lions dare not act."

Aunt Bai immediately said coldly: "A coward, an idiot, if you don't dare to act yet, do you have to wait to be arrested!"

Manager Hua shook his head and said, "Missy didn't take any action, so she probably wouldn't find out about us, even if she found out that we were related, she wouldn't be able to find out about the store."

"How did you become so stupid, this Ding Zi, I have already had to regard her as my greatest enemy in this life, do you think she is just an embroidered pillow? From these few encounters, have you ever seen her suffer a disadvantage? I Seeing that she has suspected me for a long time, it's just that we have wiped out everyone about Yun Qirou back then, and I'm not afraid of her at all. But if she doesn't let go, and then find out about the store and Xiongshi, we can't bear it. Go, everyone is going to die!" Aunt Bai looked nervous, thinking of that possibility, she couldn't sit down, and recently she has been having a bad premonition, Ding Zi, Ding Zi, why are you so difficult.
