Zheshu

Chapter 98
Yuan Ye stepped forward in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you want me to take him down?"

"Don't worry, keep an eye on it first." Shen Qing said in a low voice, then looked at the man: "The emperor doesn't accept concubines, but saves money to spend on the people. After a year of war, starvation and plague broke out, this money This palace feels that spending on the common people is worth more than spending on the emperor and his concubines!"

The man froze, opened his mouth, and didn't say a word.

Shen Qing continued: "As for the marriage, Princess Ji Ya refuses to marry our outstanding county king of Great Wei. This time, the emperor has sent two county kings to Mongolia to ask for marriage in person. There is no such thing as non-marriage."

When the people heard this, they started discussing again.

"The empress is clearly thinking about the common people."

"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have condescended to fly out of the carriage to save those mothers and children who have never met before."

"That's it."

Shen Qing could hear these discussions, but didn't mention them much.

Another person appeared from the crowd and shouted: "Our Great Wei is a big country after all, how could we personally send people to the little Mongolia to ask for relatives, wouldn't it be a loss of my dignity!"

These words were quite provocative, and some hot-blooded men began to whisper to each other to express their dissatisfaction, but Shen Qing just smiled lightly: "Even if you lose face, you also lose face for the royal family. But compared with the benefits that marriage and marriage can bring to the people, the royal family is willing to leave it behind." This face. Great Wei fought for a year, and you don't need to tell me what the situation is like. In the eyes of the royal family, the safety of the people is more important than face."

Seeing that Shen Qing's words were all for the good of the people, he had no reason at once, and pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked in a cold voice: "Could it be that killing the concubine of the former emperor was also for the good of the people? Madam, you also want to do good for the people." what."

When Yuan Ye heard this, he wished he could go up and cut him with his sword. If he dared to talk to the empress like this, he would not be enough to die a hundred times.

Everyone also thought that Shen Qing would get angry, but they didn't expect her to remain so indifferent: "The death of Concubine Xian, can you see that it was Ben Gong who did it?"

"Never, but..."

"I confessed the slander without seeing it, why? Is it to force me to punish you, or to force me to be unable to refute it, so that the people of the world will misunderstand? This time there are changes in various countries, and many spies from other countries are mixed among the people. , for the purpose of causing riots and profiting from them. I don’t know if you are a spy, so I will not identify you. This matter will be handed over to Jing Zhaoyin and Dali Temple for joint trial, under the supervision of Zhang Yushi, and the result will definitely be The announcement will be made at the city gate." Shen Qing said lightly.

There was another commotion among the people, and Yuan also understood Shen Qing's meaning, and said loudly: "These spies have also caught several spies in the palace, and several of them have been locked up in the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion. If you don't believe me, you can go to The Jingzhao Mansion inquired. The empress was pregnant with Liujia and sent the emperor to go to war again, everyone, if you don’t disperse, don’t blame me for disregarding the will of the empress and arresting you for the following crimes and sentenced to death!"

When everyone heard this, they all dispersed. Instead of complaining to Shen Qing, they admired the empress even more.The wife of an ordinary family just sent her husband off to fight and is pregnant with Liujia. How could she risk getting out of the carriage to explain so much?With the queen's rights, they could all be beheaded, but she didn't have one, and she was always thinking of the people. Where can I find such a queen.

Just now, the mother and son knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Qing: "Thank you, Madam, for saving my life."

Shen Qing smiled lightly and didn't say much. Firstly, she moved just now, as if her fetus was gasping. Second, now that Lin Miaoyue was killed, she was worried that it was Jiya who did it. If she was, she would have to find her in the palace again. other troubles.

Shen Qing returned to the carriage, as if she had lost her strength, but Ling'er held her hand and said happily: "Sister-in-law is just so amazing."

"But your sister-in-law, I was frightened just now." She is not lying, three people become tigers, people's words are terrifying, she knows the power of rumors best, but most of the time, most people are blind but powerful, as long as When someone speaks up and makes them feel right, they just agree with it and don't explore whether it is really right.

There were voices of common people talking outside, and Shen Qing could vaguely hear that they were praising her, but she was in no mood to listen.

In the crowd, apart from the spies, there was also the fifth prince who was appointed to upright. Because of the fifth line, Ji Yun will always be called the fifth prince in the future when he will be given a title.

At the beginning when he seized the heir, he hid far away, but now if Ji Wuhuan hadn't been forcibly pulled out, he would not have come out to help a woman and a milk doll take care of these things, but now it seems that he doesn't need to bother too much .

"Go and find out how Lin Miaoyue died." He ordered the attendants beside him.

The attendant looked at him in surprise: "You really want to participate in these things?"

The fifth prince sighed: "You still don't know the emperor's temper? He regards this queen as his life. If I just watch her being bullied, when he comes back, he will drag me out and bury me alive."

The attendant trembled in fright, and whispered: "This time, will it be the same as the previous emperor?"

The fifth prince was very relieved: "Do you really think that the current emperor is an embroidery frame like Ji Yun?" After finishing speaking, he looked at the pair of starlings on the table and laughed.

When Shen Qing returned to the palace, Xia Rao came in a hurry.

As soon as Xia Rao came over, she knelt down on the ground directly: "Slaves are not good at doing things."

Shen Qing quickly helped her up: "I guess something happened, please tell me more about it."

"While I was not around, she secretly took poison and killed the child, and even disposed of the stillbirth herself. We didn't see it." Xia Rao frowned.

"Is the person dead?" Shen Qing asked.

Xia Rao shook her head: "She was rescued by Zheng Luo, but it seems that she has a mortal determination to let Da Wei fight Mongolia."

Shen Qing smiled coldly: "It's up to her, is she worthy?" After finishing speaking, she didn't change her clothes, and went directly to Ji Ya's residence.

As soon as he entered the yard, he could smell a strong and unrelenting bloody smell. Shen Qing felt sick for a while, but she still endured it and went in.

Zheng Luo was taking her pulse, but she was lying on the bed as if she was dead, but her eyes were open, and she ignored what others said.

When Shen Qing came over, Zheng Luo got up and saluted.

Shen Qing looked at Ji Ya lying on the bed, and asked Zheng Luo: "How is it?"

"I can't die, but the child is gone." Zheng Luo said lightly.

Shen Qing's face was slightly gloomy, and she looked at the maids from Mongolia who were standing next to her: "Is this how you serve your princess?"

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, all of them didn't know how Jiya could do this.

Seeing them like this, Shen Qing suddenly said: "Are you sent by the Mongolian leader?"

Several people nodded.

Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Xia Rao: "Send them down and wait."

Xia Rao nodded, and when they left, Shen Qing looked at Jiya: "Now the plan has failed, Su He's only blood is gone, are you happy?"

After hearing this, Jiya's eyes suddenly became vicious, and she yelled at Shen Qing to kill her, but Shen Qing easily grabbed her hand.

"You think you can avenge him, but what is his revenge, have you never thought about it? He failed in the mutiny and has nothing to do with anyone. He could have been an idle prince, but he didn't want to. Besides, death Do you think there are very few people in his hands?" Shen Qing coldly shook her hand away.

But Ji Ya looked at her sternly: "What about you, do you think you deserve to live? How many people's blood have you had on your hands? Do you think you are noble, Shen Qing!"

"I never said that I am nobler than others." Shen Qing looked at her calmly: "But I am different from Su He. Su He killed innocent people indiscriminately for fame and fortune. I have never killed innocent people. He died in the struggle for fame and fortune. Even if I never intended to harm anyone, I have already suffered retribution. Jiya, you are the least qualified to question me. I don’t care What is the relationship between you and Suhe, but you deliberately provoked disputes between Mongolia and the Great Wei, and trapped the people of the two countries in the flames of war, you are not worthy of sympathy at all, you have failed the innocent life in your stomach."

Ji Ya was lying on the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks. She didn't know whether she was regretting her behavior this time, or resentment for not being able to avenge Su He.

After Shen Qing finished speaking, she looked at the people in the room and said, "Please take care of her, don't let her die." After all, Lin Miaoyue's death needs someone to come forward and confess.

After Shen Qing finished speaking, she didn't feel much better in her heart.She is tired of chasing fame and fortune, fighting and killing, and she also understands why the Shen family is willing to give up their glory and wealth to hide in the mountains.

After leaving the palace, she went directly to meet An An.An An is simple, although he keeps laughing and making trouble, he can make people feel peaceful.

Xia Rao came back after dealing with those maids. Looking at Shen Qing with a trace of loneliness on her face, she felt a little distressed, and stepped forward and said softly, "Do you want to rest?" You have finished singing what we sang, Shen Qing is now pregnant, she should have a good rest, but she has to run around like this.

"No need." After Shen Qing finished speaking, she smiled lightly: "Did those maids say anything?"

"They seem to know that Jiya took the poison by themselves, but I'm not sure if they will say that when they go back this time." Xia Rao worried, if they let them go back, they would say that Shen Qing deliberately framed them, then it would be fine. It's not worth the candle.

Shen Qing nodded; "Then detain them for the time being, and wait until Lin Miaoyue's matter is found out, Ji Yaxu has other accomplices, you should check them together, and you should personally go to the residence of Lord Zhou, Minister of Rites Please tell him exactly what happened."

Seeing her headache, Xia Rao knew that she was worried that Mr. Zhou, an old man, would come out and make trouble when Ji Wuhuan was gone, so he nodded in response.

At this time in the Zhou Mansion, Mr. Zhou would scold his son and daughter every day, because he was also angry at himself for not being strict with the foolish things he did back then.

Just as he was cursing, he heard that the maid next to the queen in the palace had come, so he sent her out.

Mr. Zhou also heard what Shen Qing said on the street today. When he saw Xia Rao, his complexion was a little complicated. After all, he couldn't say how he felt about this empress. I also feel that she is indeed excellent, but it's a pity that she cast herself as a daughter.

Xia Rao didn't know that Mrs. Zhou was so complicated in her heart. After retreating from the people around her, she talked about Jiya's matter from Mongolia to her own abortion just now.

Master Zhou's eyes widened after hearing this: "This...how could it be, she is a princess of a country."

Xia Rao knew that it was impossible for him to believe it all at once, so she said: "Your Excellency, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone to investigate. It just so happens that the two county kings have also gone to Mongolia. I think they will hear about it among the people. Your Excellency is not as good as writing a letter." Feng went to ask. The servant is only here to convey the Queen Mother's words, so that the adults will not regret and worry when they hear that Princess Jiya is ill. Now that the word has been delivered, the servant will leave first."

When Mr. Zhou heard her say this, he blushed with shame even though he was old.The empress is not afraid that she is worried, but she is afraid that her stubborn character will not be forgiving in the court tomorrow.

After sending Xia Rao away, he immediately sent someone to investigate, but in the morning morning, he stopped thinking.

When Xia Rao came back, Shen Qing heaved a sigh of relief after hearing her reply.

Looking at her with a tired face, Xia Rao couldn't bear it: "Your Majesty, after all, the emperor still has so many people to assist the government, nothing will happen, so you can take a break."

Shen Qing was really exhausted, she walked from the warm couch to the bed, and then fell asleep under the quilt.

Xia Rao covered her with the quilt, and it was dark now, so she turned to see Zheng Luo.

Zheng Luo administered needles to Jiya and made her fall asleep. When Xia Rao came over, he deliberately led her out of the room to a corner of the yard, and mysteriously took out a box from his arms.

"What?" Xia Rao still wanted to ask him something, but he was positive.

Zheng Luo smiled embarrassedly: "Open it and have a look."

Xia Rao saw him looking mysterious, and opened it hesitantly, but the corner suddenly lit up.

"This is the Ye Mingzhu?" Xia Rao was amazed, but Zheng Luo looked at Xia Rao under the light of the Ye Ming Pearl, and she was a little crazy. The scars on her face hadn't completely disappeared, and they might not be able to disappear in the future, but she was just beautiful. .Everyone said that the empress is good-looking, and Princess Ji Ya is good-looking, but he thinks that Xia Rao's good-looking is different from them, it is the kind of good-looking that he thinks is the prettiest.

Xia Rao was startled when he saw that he was looking at her silently, and immediately closed the lid and turned her face away, asking, "Where did you come from?"

"Nine Princes rewarded it."

"Others are not in the capital, how could they reward you..." Xia Rao didn't believe it, but seeing Zheng Luo smiled: "I wrote him a letter and asked the empress to send it there for me."

"what you want?"

"Of course not." Zheng Luo said calmly, "I made him a life-saving medicine, and by the way, I mentioned to him that I want to marry a wife."

Xia Rao blushed suddenly; "Why are you so ignorant of shame?"

Zheng Luo was still very calm, remembering Ji Wuhuan's actions before, raised his hand and gently stroked her head, when he touched her soft hair, his whole body felt like an electric shock, and his whole body was numb.

"You also know where I grew up. And if I want to marry you, why would I be ashamed." Zheng Luo was still smiling.

Xia Rao knocked his hand off, glanced at him lightly, carefully put away the things, turned around, but a smile overflowed her lips.

Looking at her gentle face, Zheng Luo suddenly summoned up courage and asked her, "Miss Xia Rao, are you willing to marry me?"

Xia Rao didn't think so much at first, but when she heard this, her eyes suddenly became hot, and she turned to look at him: "Have you thought it through?" She had heard what Zheng Luo and Shen Qing had said back then, so now hearing what he said, Just wanted to double check.

Zheng Luo nodded solemnly: "If I hadn't met the girl, I might have only thought about refining medicine, but with a girl, I think I might try other methods of refining medicine."

Seeing his seriousness, Xia Rao burst out laughing, but she agreed.

When Shen Qing woke up and heard the news, she was really happy for her.She asked while she was being served and changed, "What date do you want to set?"

It was rare for Xia Rao to show her daughter's shyness, and said: "It's all up to your mother's orders."

"According to my order, naturally the sooner the better, but you can't be sloppy when you get married." Shen Qing thought of Su Qiu who would not be able to get married in the future, and her heart ached slightly, so she smiled and said: "A month later, I will take care of you Get ready, even if you don't have a lot of red makeup, you won't be wronged."

Xia Rao's eyes were slightly wet, knowing what Shen Qing was thinking, she bowed to her: "Thank you, ma'am."

Shen Qing's lips lifted in satisfaction.

The maid dressed her up, put on a heavy hair ornament, and put on a bright red phoenix robe. Seeing that it was still dark outside, she asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to wake up the prince later?"

"It's the first time to go to the morning court, so don't delay, go and bring the prince here." Shen Qing smiled lightly. She felt flustered last night, but when she thought that Wu Huan was going to the battlefield now, she shouldn't panic, she wanted to replace him Take good care of this country.

The palace maid responded, and soon brought the sleepy An An in her arms.

An An was wearing an ordinary brocade robe, because she was too anxious to make the prince's robe overnight.

He was a little annoyed to get up, and cried for a while, and when he saw Shen Qing, he pursed his mouth aggrievedly and called mother.

Shen Qing smiled, took him gently and hugged him in her arms: "I will call my mother from now on."

An An blinked, as if puzzled.

Shen Qing didn't force him to say anything, she just hugged him and went out to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

They just came out of the harem, and Yuan took care of him, which was what Ji Wuhuan meant.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is majestic and majestic. Just looking at the pillars in the hall, they are tall and solemn, and people can't help but also become serious.

An An didn't understand, she lay on Shen Qing's shoulder and looked around with her big eyes open.

Shen Qing glanced at the dragon chair at the top, then at the bead curtain hanging from the right corner, and walked behind the bead curtain with An An in her arms.

"An'an, don't make any noise for a while, okay?" Shen Qing smiled softly.

An An didn't understand, so she just giggled at her.

Shen Qing smiled, took his hand and waited quietly for the courtiers to come over.

It was getting brighter outside, and the ministers entered the hall one after another. They were still talking in twos and threes in a low voice. Most of the discussions were nothing more than what happened on the street yesterday. Shen Qing's words spread, everyone The ministers all had their own opinions in their hearts, and they were discussing enthusiastically, when they suddenly found that a bead curtain had been hung in the upper right corner of the hall, and there were people sitting in the curtain.

Ji Wuhuan's constant attendant, Eunuch Mo, saw that the time was almost up, so he came out and said, "The empress has arrived with the prince."

When everyone heard this, they were surprised at first, and then wondered if the new official took office three times, but they didn't care too much, they all knelt down and saluted.

Zhang Yushi and the Fifth Prince were auxiliary ministers, so they walked to the front and saluted Shen Qing.

"All gentlemen, you are welcome." Although Shen Qing's tone was soft, she was not timid.

The fifth prince glanced at the beautiful figure inside, with a smile on his face, and then turned to look at the ministers: "Do you have a book to play?"

The people below looked at each other, and someone came up immediately.

"Jiangdu is now flooded. The magistrate of Jiangdu has written several papers to plead for funding. The emperor has agreed to allocate the funds, but the funds have not yet been allocated. I beg the empress for instructions."

The ministers who spoke back and forth were veteran ministers in the court, and they never participated in the disputes between the court and the party. Shen Qing understood this a long time ago.

"Who is Shangshu Hube?"

Everyone thought that Shen Qing didn't understand government affairs, so maybe she just ordered someone to allocate funds, but they never thought she would ask this question.

Lord Hubu Shangshu Yan is a minister promoted from the Hubu Minister. He is an old fritter in the court. There is no real evidence for forming a party for personal gain, but there must be something to do with it.

Lord Yan went up with a head of gray hair, with a slightly haughty attitude, bowed as if raising his hand casually, and said: "Report to Madam, I'm working on this matter, but the treasury's money is not available. Not much, and right now it’s not just this side’s disaster that needs to be leveled. You can’t let anyone say anything, and the hundreds of thousands of shadows will be allocated like this, right? The first time the empress went to court, she didn’t know the rules of the household department It's not surprising, but if you let it go like this casually, you will embarrass me."

What he said seemed to be respectful and polite, but in fact it was just one sentence, no loan.

The old minister who pleaded for Jiangdu's order immediately knelt on the ground: "If the money is not transferred in time, the tens of thousands of people in Jiangdu will not even have to eat the bark. This continuous heavy rain, not to mention food, houses will be given away." Go ahead, if we don’t provide relief, I’m afraid there will be another outbreak of disease.”

The old minister's words were sincere, but the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Mr. Yan, didn't take it seriously: "Now there is no need for money, even if the emperor personally conscripts, he still has to allocate military pay."

Shen Qing saw that he treated himself as if he didn't know what to do, so he finally opened his mouth: "Master Yan said that the money can't be allocated for a while, so how long will it take?"

When Master Yan heard her words, he seemed to be subdued, and he smiled: "It will take at least three months."

For three months, the day lily was cold.

The ministers below held back their laughter, everyone who was willing to speak out, Zhang Yushi was helpless, after all, the affairs of the household department were complicated, and it was not easy for him to intervene, but the fifth prince, looked at Shen Qing, and said: "The empress But there is a way?"

When he asked this, it was obvious that he was supporting Shen Qing.

Zhang Yushi came to his senses, although he still didn't believe what a woman Shen Qing could do, but he also asked in agreement.

Lord Yan became more and more arrogant, but Shen Qing only said indifferently: "There is no way for now."

Mrs. Yan looked like 'I knew it a long time ago', but she heard her say: "The two servants of the household department, or other adults, is there a way to allocate this money within three days, and they are willing to handle it personally These things?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was stunned. What did they mean? Could it be that the old Shangshu of the household department was about to be replaced? Can have such a right?

But the Ministry of Household Affairs is a fat job, and Ji Wuhuan has already recruited many young talents after becoming the throne. Although the position is not high, but now that Shen Qing has given the opportunity, two of them have stood up with enthusiasm .

"The minister is willing!"

"The minister has a way!"

"Very good." Shen Qing raised her lips slightly, seeing that Mr. Yan was about to speak, she immediately said: "Yesterday, the palace received a note saying that Mr. Yan was greedy for disaster funds, colluded with others, and obstructed those who went to Beijing to file a complaint. Master Yan, is there such a thing?"

When Master Yan heard this, he immediately swallowed the words of obstructing the appropriation, and immediately went to: "Madam, I have been an official for many years, and I have always been clean and honest. I have never done such a thing." I have never been greedy for a penny, how could it be possible.

Seeing that he was a little flustered, Shen Qing knew that he had achieved his goal, so he also took a step back: "I also think so, so I should punish the person who handed over the secret paper. However, Mr. Yan is old, and next Let these young talents take care of these things in the court."

"But they have no experience..."

"Isn't there still two lord servants and all the lords in the household department? You can rest assured, Lord Shangshu." Shen Qing smiled slightly, and then said: "About the matter on the secret book, although I trust Lord Yan, the common people You don’t necessarily believe that, in order to clear Lord Yan’s innocence, from now on, the censor Zhang will bring the supervisory censor to investigate Yan’s duties for several years. Don’t worry, Lord Yan, it’s better to rest at home during this period.”

Lord Yan turned pale, not only did she take away her official position, but she also wanted to make people investigate her openly. This is not telling him to go back to recuperate.

Thinking of this, he also poked his neck and said angrily at Shen Qing: "The empress first came to government affairs, and she wanted to take away the old man's official position. What's the reason? If the empress doesn't give a reason to convince the minister, the minister will Crash to death on this court."

The ministers below all lowered their heads and waited to see the good show. If Master Yan was really killed and it spread, wouldn't it be the queen who murdered the courtiers.It's just that the harem can't be done, if that's the case, Shen Qing probably won't be able to be a queen.

Lord Yan also took this as a gamble. I believe that Shen Qing, a little girl, would never dare to be so bold as to really compete with him as a minister, but she never expected that Shen Qing would still look like that: " Ben Gong sympathizes with Mr. Yan's hard work, and is too old. He allowed you to go home to rest, but did not take your position. Why does Mr. Yan think that Mr. Yan is going to force you to die? It is because he thinks that Mrs. Yan is a girl, and she has contemptuous thoughts , or is it true that what was said in the secret book, Mr. Yan was afraid of hurting his family, so he simply died, and can he drag me into the water?"

When everyone heard this, they quickly knelt down, but in their hearts they admired the empress for daring to speak.

The fifth prince glanced at Shen Qing unexpectedly. He thought that she would be afraid after reaching this level, but he never thought that she would still be so indifferent, and this seemed to be her usual style, which punctured everything. , leaving no room for people.

Lord Yan was also taken aback: "Of course I don't mean that..."

"It seems that Mr. Yan is really old, and his words can't express his meaning anymore." Shen Qing chuckled: "In that case, it's better to go home and rest, if you have to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Household after a while , then continue to take care of it, if you don’t want to take care of it, you can tell the old man and return home.”

Master Yan saw that she was impeccable in her words, that she was good or bad, so she gritted her teeth and dared not look at this queen again.

The fifth prince naturally knew what to do, and he came out in time to mention the matter of those two young talents assisting the household department in appropriating funds, and then asked Zhang Yushi and the supervisory censor to investigate Mr. Yan together, and then asked: "Is there anyone else to play."

This time, the ministers of the DPRK and China became vigilant.

An'an was very obedient throughout the whole process, and there was no noise. It was bright outside before the morning court finally came down, but many people in the court today wiped off their sweat, and even secretly suspected that the queen was planning to copy the minister's If you have this idea, you will ask your wife to ask for an order to visit the queen in the afternoon.

It was Shen Qing's first morning court, and she was uncertain, but she knew that once she lost the first time, these old fritters would take herself even less seriously. As for today's request for funding...

The fifth prince looked at Yuan Ye and the poor old minister who were standing on one side, and was stunned: "Is this all arranged by your mother?"

"Probably." Shen Qing smiled slightly, remembering that Yuan Ye was suddenly told to arrange the play in the middle of the night yesterday, and said, "It's also thanks to the fact that my lord is willing to believe me."

"The empress's heart is for the dawn, it is the blessing of the country and the common people, and even if the empress does not say anything, the old minister also wants to ask for funds." The elder said with emotion.

Shen Qing smiled, looked at the Fifth Prince and Zhang Yushi beside him: "Master Yan must use this saber, and as far as I know, Mr. Yan has a rich family background, all of which are ill-gotten gains. The matter of him accepting bribes, but the specifics, Mr. Zhang has to worry about it."

Zhang Yushi didn't dare to underestimate Shen Qing anymore, but he was more puzzled: "The empress has thought about the consequences, in case he really wants to commit suicide..."

"No, this person is greedy for life and afraid of death, otherwise, among the six books, I wouldn't just target him with a knife." This Lord Yan was chosen by her out of thousands of people, and she must be able to achieve the effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

Seeing her smiling kindly, Zhang Yushi suddenly felt a chill down his spine. This empress is indeed the emperor's favorite, and her way of doing things is really the same as that of the emperor.

"I must do it well." Zhang Yushi took the order to retreat, and then Shen Qing glanced at the fifth prince: "In the end, my palace is not familiar with the government affairs of the court, and I don't know the way of officialdom. Today's matter can be regarded as a bit of a joke. Little Clever, it's just a fluke, I won't interfere in the future, I can only ask Fifth Brother to worry about it."

If Ji Wuhuan really counted, her seniority is definitely higher than that of the fifth prince, and Shen Qing's calling her fifth younger brother would not be considered a mess of her seniority.

Seeing her suddenly addressing him like that, the Fifth Prince was startled, then smiled and cupped his hands: "Your servant takes orders."

Shen Qing had been busy all morning and was already tired. Knowing that there would be a group of imperial wives to see in the afternoon, she didn't say much, and hurried back to rest.

When the fifth prince left the palace, he happened to run into Lord Yan who was waiting at the door early.

Master Yan quickly came up to salute him: "Fifth Prince, you must tell the empress about this matter, you can't act like this..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the fifth prince snort coldly: "Do you think the empress is as easy to fool as you imagined? The woman who followed the emperor all over the world, the empress who is now aloof, has more eyes than you and me, Lord Yan, Why don't you persuade your colleagues to donate all the money you shouldn't get to the disaster relief, at least to keep you safe." After saying that, he walked away, thinking of himself as the emperor's wife, somewhat surprised and admired.

The boy next to him looked happy and said with a smile: "I don't know, I thought you got something good."

"Benefits?" The Fifth Prince smiled. There were no other benefits, but the matter of assisting the government seemed to have become interesting.
