The Concubine's Conspiracy: Rebirth of the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 270 The Wrath of the Emperor

The next day, Nangong Jingchen dispatched [-] soldiers from the nearby area, rushed back to the capital to report to the emperor, and led all the soldiers to conduct a large-scale search in Tingyun Mountain.

I searched for three days without any results.

However, the robbery of the Fuling convoy was concealed at the request of Luo Xian'er, and everyone was forced to report it to Yong Zhao and Prime Minister Luo.

Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Garden.

"What are you talking about, the Fuling team was robbed, and both Ling'er and Xian'er were taken away by bandits? Then why did you come back?" Yong Zhao's always dignified face finally showed a majestic expression.

Looking at the man in front of him, his face was covered with a gloomy and cold hostility.

It was a hundred times more angry than the day when I heard that Gu Ruolan was giving birth.

"Back to the princess, Princess Ling has escaped from the cottage and joined King Yu, the king of Chen. The relief money that the two princes were ordered to escort was also taken away. The princess ordered his subordinates to rush back to the capital to report to the princess, but the princess is still staying in Tingyun. Shan searched for the whereabouts of Miss Eldest and Miss Fifth."

Zuo Ming's face was as white as paper, and his arms were hanging with bandages wrapped around them. The white bandages were soaked with blood and were bright red.After Ting Yunshan woke up, the princess ordered him to take someone back to Qindu to report the incident to the princess.

Ben was seriously injured, even though he took medicine, he hurried all the way back with people.

Without saying a few words, he passed out with a bang.

Aside from Nanny Yu waved her hand, a guard stepped forward and took Zuo Ming down.

"Princess don't have to worry about the presence of King Chen and King Yu. Come to think of it, nothing will happen to the princess, and the fifth lady is lucky, and nothing will happen."

"It's not going to happen. They were all taken away by bandits. How can something go wrong?"

Yong Zhao's face was so gloomy that he could wring out the water, slapped the table, and shouted angrily, and Nanny Yu immediately closed her mouth, not daring to speak any more.Something happened to the two little masters.

No wonder the princess was so furious.

Yong Zhao sat back on the soft couch, with a sullen face on his face: "Mother Yu, send people to Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince Chen's Mansion, and if they come back, tell me immediately, and this matter must not be spread, otherwise, Xianer Linger will have a clear reputation." It will be damaged, this palace has already arranged it long ago, it's a shame that such a side issue happened."

"Yes, princess."

Yong Zhao took a deep breath before he could barely suppress the anger in his heart, and his voice was extremely cold, "Since Ling'er escaped, I should have informed Ben Gong earlier, now that Ben Gong's plan has been disrupted, I'm afraid I have to re-arrange it again." Shu. Go and call Wu Ze over, I have some important matters to send to him."

"Well, princess, if Wu Ze is allowed to go at this time, will our identities be exposed..." Mama Yu hesitated, "Princess, please think again."

"Think twice, think twice, Madam Yu, you have to find out who is the master, how much I have paid and sacrificed for the so-called big plan these years, I have been enduring it for so many years, and now even Xian'er has paid for it Go in, how do you want me to bear it?"

Yongzhao asked harshly, "Is it possible that after paying so much, all of my hard work has to go to waste, so what is my sacrifice?"

"Master, calm down." Nanny Yu bowed her head.

Yong Zhao's face was dark and gloomy, like a dark cloud covering the top, and his chest was heaving violently. He glanced at Nanny Yu, and his voice was a bit cold and harsh.

"Bengong knows what you are worried about. If she blames her, she will come to Bengong. No matter what, Xian'er is not only my favorite, but also her favorite."

She rolled her eyes, paused and said: "It was Wu Zhe who said in person at the beginning that Xian'er is the phoenix star who was hit, so no matter what, I will protect her, not only because she is the daughter, she is also the most critical part of all plans, absolutely nothing can be lost, do you understand?"

"Yes, master, this old slave understands, this old slave will pass on to Wu Ze." Nanny Yu pondered for a moment, then she responded and stepped back cautiously.

Yong Zhao has been sitting on the soft couch, his hands painted with red danko are so tightly pinching his nails that they almost dig into his flesh, his eyes are full of strong resentment.

Ling'er and Xian'er had an accident together, and Ling'er managed to escape, but Xian'er was deeply trapped in a den of bandits.

It's hard to predict what will happen.

I'm afraid Xian'er is...

That was the daughter she had worked so hard to cultivate.

But it was possible to be destroyed so easily, a resentment in her chest could not be appeased at all.

Not long after Madam Yu went out, a tall and thin man walked in.

"Wu Ze met the princess."

The man was dressed in a bodyguard uniform, with thin cheeks and prominent cheekbones. When he cupped his hands, he could see the muscles on the back of his hands twitching. His eyes were squinted, but there was a bit of cunning and coldness in those eyes.

Glancing at the man, Yong Zhao let go of his tight grip, "Wu Ze, you immediately send a letter to our people in Qizhou, asking them to find Xian'er's whereabouts. They must find her and bring her to Qizhou safely." , and then call Wuxin back to Qizhou Mansion to stand by, in addition, our original plan may need to be changed, you should inform Pang Tong of this matter, and tell him that we must wait until Xianer arrives in Qizhou before we can act."

"Also, tell our people that if they see Luo Wuyou, they will be shot to death." Her voice was cold, with a hint of ruthlessness on her face, but her plans that she had planned for many years were all ruined by a little girl.

As expected, she was too merciful, she should have killed their mother and child long ago.

Instead of leaving such a scourge.

"Yes, princess."

The man bowed his hands and accepted the order with an extremely respectful expression.

Yong Zhao cast a cold glance at Wu Ze, and said, "There is no room for mistakes in this matter. Also, you have to be careful, and you must not reveal your whereabouts, otherwise..."

"Princess, don't worry, this subordinate understands that everything will be done." The man named Wu Ze bowed his hands respectfully to Yongzhao, turned around and backed out.

Passed by the two who had just entered, Yumao.

Nanny Yu glanced at Wu Ze, went into the inner room, stood in front of Yong Zhao, and replied with a respectful face, "Princess, I just got the news that King Chen and King Yu have rushed back at noon today. After entering the court hall, the old slave has ordered people to guard it, and our people will know immediately when the two princes go to court."

"Princess, what shall we do now?"

Yong Zhao turned his eyes coldly and asked, "Is Xiang Ye back?"

"Princess, the old slave just asked by the way when I went out, Xiangye entered the palace early this morning, and has not returned to the mansion." Madam Yu replied respectfully.

He hasn't come back yet, thinking about it, he was also left in the court by the emperor.

As for why, there is no need to ask.

"You go, make some arrangements, I want to enter the palace to meet the emperor brother."

Yong Zhao only gave the order in a cold voice, his eyes turned slightly, and a sour smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

The palace, above the main hall.

The emperor sat high on the golden dragon chair with dark eyebrows and glaring eyes. There were several bright yellow memorials scattered on the steps in front of the hall.

Civil and military officials stood on both sides of the class, Nangong Jingchen and Nangong Jingyu both knelt in the center of the hall.

"The emperor's forgiveness is due to the incompetence of the sons and ministers, who failed to protect the relief money, so that the robbers succeeded. I also ask the emperor to appease his anger and surrender." Nangong Jingchen's face was full of fear. The appointment of an imperial envoy, this errand, was obtained by relying on countless rumors from the concubine's mother and his own hard work.

I thought it would be an opportunity to show off, but I didn't know that it turned out to be what it is today.If he had known this was the case, he might as well have stayed in the capital.

Nor would he encounter that thrilling encounter that nearly cost him his life.

"Please forgive me, Father."

Nangong Jingyu also kowtowed, his sight on the ground was a bit cold.The relief money was robbed, and they searched everywhere, so they had no choice but to go back to the capital to confess their crimes to Emperor Hong.

But this matter was too strange, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find any clues or evidence.

"Is it useful to condemn your sins?"

Emperor Hong raised his brows and shouted angrily, "If I punish you, the relief money will come back. If I punish you, will those officers and soldiers who died come back? If I can, I will definitely punish you heavily."

"Stand back for me."

"..."

Both Nangong Jingchen and Nangong Jingyu fell silent, kowtowed and stepped aside.

The emperor's eagle eyes swept across the hall full of civil and military officials: "All my loves, what can you do now? Now that five cities have been hit by disasters, the people have no food and clothing, and they have to endure the torment of the epidemic. Luo Aiqing, Yang Aiqing, Shen Aiqing..."

The news that the relief money was robbed had been sent back eight hundred miles in a hurry, but for many days in a row, the officials in the court did not come up with any solution, which made the emperor not to be furious.

The emperor rolled his name one by one.

All the ministers are looking at me, and I look at you.

Finally, the emperor's eyes fell on the Prime Minister, the head of all civil and military officials.

Luo Bingshu thought for a moment, had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up, and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think that this is not the time to pursue responsibility. Unforgivable, if you die, you will die, but the relief money must be recovered."

"However, at the moment, it is necessary to send people to relieve the disaster and eliminate the epidemic. It is almost winter. After winter, the life of the people will be even more difficult."

It is the end of November and the weather is turning cold.

In a few days, it will snow.

If the epidemic cannot be resolved at this time, I am afraid that more people will die.

Emperor Hong narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then who does Luo Qing think is better to send, now that the treasury is empty, where should the money for disaster relief come from?"

Luo Bingshu was taken aback for a moment, and understood Hongdi's thoughts in an instant. The military supplies for the two-year war have all come from the national treasury. Previously, 60 taels of silver had been withdrawn. For the five cities, another 60 taels would not be enough.

This is a huge consumption!
Emperor Hong asked this question because he didn't want the expenditure to be collected by the state treasury.

"Luo Bing heard clearly, but there was a trace of embarrassment between his brows. After pondering for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "This, my lord, my humble minister wishes..."

"Report to my emperor, Princess Yongzhao asks to see you."

Before Luo Bingshu finished speaking, at this moment, a servant came to report, and Luo Bingshu stopped talking.

The emperor sitting high was also taken aback for a moment.

Then he waved his hand and said, "Xuan."

"I respect the sacred metaphor, Princess Xuan is beautiful..."
