Chapter 1471 Intimacy ([-])

The emperor specially asked someone to cook Ah Wu's favorite meal, which was very rich.

A Wu said while eating: "Brother, I have looked at the old regulations of the previous dynasty in the past few days. Guanglu Temple (in charge of palace sacrifices, banquets, and meals) has four departments, with a large number of people, and there are 5000 kitchen staff alone. There are a lot of people. I have thought about it, sacrifices and banquets can’t be saved, so as not to be talked about, but meals can save many people..."

The emperor picked up a piece of fish for her: "The little tiger has done a lot of homework these days."

Ah Wu proudly said: "Of course. Now I look at these trivial matters in the palace as the mission of fighting, and I can see some tricks these days. When I have time to discuss with Ni Yi, I will report to my brother when I am done."

These days, she was really dizzy looking at it, and at the same time, she had an understanding of the extravagant style in the former palace.

She didn't understand why tens of thousands of people were needed just to make clothes for the concubine?
As for the folks, how many children drowned because they couldn't afford to support them, and the dying people had nothing to support and chose to kill themselves.

She has a deeper understanding of these sufferings.

"I did a rough calculation myself," Ah Wu said, "At least a few 10 taels of silver or even millions of taels will be left every year. Part of it will be used for military pay, and part will be used to support children and encourage children...Brother, don't you I'd be embarrassed to look at me like that."

"I really should keep you in the palace again and not let you go."

His eyes were fierce and serious, and he didn't seem to be joking much.

Ah Wu: "...I can read these accounts when I get home..."

The emperor was amused by her: "Little fool tiger."

"No matter how stupid I am, I chose it myself." Ah Wu was triumphant, and took a piece of roast mutton for the emperor, "Buy it and leave it, no refund or exchange!"

The emperor was amused by her.

Ah Wu looked at him: "Actually, my brother looks good when he smiles."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Just a little bit worse than Xie Xing, and better looking than everyone else."

"Then if I kill Xie Xing, I'm the prettiest?"

Ah Wu: "...my grandma is very cruel."

Speaking of Liu Qinghan, she suddenly remembered something, blinked and said: "How did I forget grandma? To deal with Wu Rumu, grandma should take action!"

"She's too lazy to care about it." The emperor said, "She's smart. If you don't beg her, she won't reach out. She knows very well that I won't let anything happen to you."

"That's true. I know that too, so I'm not nervous at all."

"Hurry up, the food is getting cold."

Ah Wu's words are careless, but to the emperor's ears, they are often sweet words of love.

The unquestionable and complete trust, the initial beauty of a brother-sister relationship, the final persistence in the suffering of life... These are all given to him.

That's all he wants.

After the two of them had dinner, the emperor found another reason: "The sun is hot, take a rest before going back. I have already told my mother and cousin about this matter, so don't worry about them."

"Row."

There is a couch in the emperor's study, and he basically rests here.

A Wu lay on the emperor's pillow, covered with his bright yellow quilt embroidered with golden dragons, and tilted her head to watch the emperor reviewing the memorial.

"Brother," she patted the place beside her, "Come to sleep?"

The emperor refused with a smile, thinking to himself that this silly boy is not at all wary of him.

"Then I'll sleep!"

"Ah."

A Wu closed her eyes and was so dazed that she hadn't fallen asleep when she heard Huya's footsteps coming in.

Different from the usual calmness and ease, his footsteps were hurried, so Ah Wu opened his eyes immediately.

"elder brother?"

"Your majesty, young lady," Huya took a look at the scene in the study and dared not look at A Wu again. He lowered his head and said to the emperor, "Your majesty, Zeng Huan took someone to fetch Wu Rumu, but Wu Rumu's maid, Chu Ying, recognized her. She committed all the crimes. After she confessed, she wanted to commit suicide by taking poison, but Master Zeng stopped her."

"Where is Zeng Juan?" The emperor's face suddenly became gloomy.

Ah Wu also got up and put on her shoes, and said angrily, "Who doesn't have a loyal servant? It's enough for their master and servant to discuss this matter? I really think they have the final say on everything!"

She has a fall short frustration!

"I don't see him. Tell him to pry Chuying's mouth open for me." The emperor said angrily.

"Yes." Huya didn't dare to say anything else.

The fish obviously bit the hook, but escaped again, no wonder the emperor was furious.

Ah Wu frowned, and murmured: "Since they have discussed it, I am afraid that Chuying's mouth will not be so easy to pry open. By the way, brother Huya, you tell Zeng Juan that Luo Kui will also be settled. Maybe she will also can help."

After all, Luo Kui is Xiao Shan's personal servant girl, and this time the incident was exposed, she also helped a lot.

Huya took the lead and left.

Ah Wu was anxious but powerless, after all she was also involved in it, so she couldn't go directly to Shuntian Mansion to ask about this matter, otherwise she would not know what it would be like.

She stayed in the palace and did not leave for the time being, but she did not go to Yingzhou Island anymore, which meant to tell everyone that she had been cleared of suspicion.

When the matter developed to this point, everyone knew that there was only one last step left, as long as Chuying's mouth was pried open and she could identify Wu Rumu, but this step was very difficult.

Chuying insisted that she made dumplings, and coaxed Xiao Shan to eat them before entering the academy, but Wu Rumu didn't know anything about it.

The emperor sneered after hearing Zeng Juan's trembling report: "Is there nothing I can do if she doesn't recruit you? Don't you have any instruments of torture in Shuntian Mansion?"

The implication is, why not be punished, even tortured!
Zeng Juan knelt down and said: "The minister is incompetent, and it is useless to use all methods. Now the suspect is dying, and if he is tortured again, he may lose his life. However, she is determined and refuses to spit out. I hope the emperor will see clearly."

Mingcha?What's the use of his insight!

The emperor said angrily: "Huya, pass the decree to Wei Shen, and leave this matter to him!"

Zeng Juan breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he pushed out this hot potato. He's really not good at torture or anything like that.

A Wu has no compassion anymore, although she knows that falling into Wei Shen's hands will make Chu Ying unable to survive or die, but the appreciation for her loyalty is not worth the anxiety of finding out the murderer.

She also hopes that the truth will be revealed soon.

But Ah Wu was also faintly worried that even if Chuying confessed the truth under Wei Shen's torture, they would probably be accused of imposing charges and tortured into tricks.

After thinking about it, what hatred could Chuying, a maid, have against Xiao Shan?
Everyone must know by now that Chuying was the one who convicted Wu Rumu.

It made her feel more comfortable thinking about it this way.

Wei Shen has been a cruel official for three dynasties in his life, and he was frightened by torture, but this time, with Chu Ying, he still capsized.
