Agent Abandoned Concubine: Tyrant, beg for favor

Chapter 51 Rage

In the heavily guarded imperial study room, the emperor sat upright with a serious face before changing out of his solemn court clothes.Below, a group of ministers headed by Prince Su Ruoqi stood respectfully below, and stood behind Su Ruoqi in order of rank.

Seeing a hint of worry in the emperor's eyebrows, he said, "I can't call all my lovers over to discuss matters urgently, because I just received two expedited [-]-mile orders."

When Su Ruoqi heard that Babaili was in a hurry, he immediately asked, "Father, is there an urgent report from the border, someone violated our Xia Dynasty border?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "No." After speaking, he sent the eunuch Fengbi to submit the two urgent reports of eight hundred miles to the ministers below to watch them in turn.

During the browsing process of the ministers, the emperor said worriedly, "Your dear friends have also seen that there has been a severe drought in the south, and almost two drops of rain have not fallen since the beginning of summer. The wells and streams have all dried up, and the land has cracked. The wheat seedlings have all died of drought, and the people have no water to use. However, in the north, it has been raining continuously for seven days, the river mouth burst its embankment, the flood flooded three counties, and hundreds of thousands of people are homeless. Dear dear friends, tell me What should we do?"

In the face of natural disasters, the common people are the most powerless to fight back, and they can only bear it with great pain.The ministers whispered and said some pitiful and sentimental words, but no one stood up and gave countermeasures.

Seeing that no one answered, the emperor picked someone to answer and asked, "Prince, what do you think?"

Su Ruoqi took a step forward, made a half-respect, and replied, "Going back to the emperor, I think that hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced. If they don't resettle them quickly, there will be more troubles. We should let the local governments open warehouses for relief." grain, and exempt the affected counties from taxes for two years, so that the people can cultivate their livelihoods.”

Su Ruoqi answered fluently. After hearing this, the emperor thought for a while, and then asked the ministers for their opinions.The ministers saw that since the crown prince had given a plan, they would naturally not tear down the stage, so they kept saying that the crown prince was wise.

Seeing that all the ministers felt that the prince's method was good, the emperor drafted the decree according to the prince's intention.Then he tactfully praised the prince and asked them all to retreat.

"The ministers will leave." The crown prince and all the ministers bowed and left.

When Su Ruoqi was discussing political affairs with the emperor in the imperial study, Moxue in Qingshui Lane was also in a mess, and everyone was at a loss.

Mo Xue's personal maid said angrily and aggrieved, "Miss, how can the Crown Princess go so far and make a big fuss here for no reason and beat us up like this, thanks to the kindness of the lady before, seeing His Royal Highness neglecting her , and pity her for saying good things about her in front of the prince. It's too much for her to repay her kindness like this."

Mo Xue leaned weakly on the bed, her face was pale, she coughed from time to time, and she looked extremely bad.

Mo Xue opened her mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and suddenly coughed heart-piercingly.The maid hurried forward, poured warm tea for Mo Xue to drink, and patted her on the back.

Mo Xue finally recovered her breath, and said weakly, "It was so intense just now, where did you get hurt?"

Seeing that Mo Xue was still thinking about caring for herself, the servant girl was moved and said with red eyes, "Your servant is fine, but Miss, you are not in good health and you are so frightened."

Then he said angrily, "The Crown Princess is not favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it is unreasonable to come here to vent her anger on the young lady. Such a rude, rude and reckless woman, no wonder the Crown Prince doesn't like her."

As the maid said, she was about to clean up the mess in the room, but Mo Xue said that she was tired and wanted to sleep, so she asked the maid not to clean up, so as not to make too much noise and make herself unable to sleep.

The maid even claimed yes, then walked out of the room lightly, and closed the door slowly.

Su Ruoqi attaches so much importance to Mo Xue, so it is natural that there are people on Mo Xue's side, and he must be notified as soon as possible if anything happens.Of course Murong Qingqing's case was no exception, as soon as Murong Qingqing and his party left, a servant ran out.

It's just that he didn't know that Su Ruoqi was summoned to the imperial study, and ran straight to the Prince's Mansion. Seeing that Su Ruoqi was not in the mansion, he left a word for the person who was in contact with him and went back.

He said, "When His Royal Highness comes back, you must tell the Crown Prince that something happened to the person in Qingshui Lane. Please go there quickly."

So, just after Su Ruoqi came back from the imperial study, when he heard such a frightening news, he felt that his heartbeat was about to stop, and he yelled at the person who sent the news, "What did you say? Mo Xue What happened? I just came back from Mo Xue, what happened?"

The person who spread the news was also surprised to see His Highness the Crown Prince's gaffe, as expected, all men are the same, no matter if they are nobles or peddlers, they all feel that domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers.Of the two empresses in the prince's mansion, the one who is most favored is actually the one raised outside.

No matter how much I think about it, I still have to reply, "Go back to His Royal Highness, the people over at Qingshui Lane only told the villain that something happened to the person in Qingshui Lane, please come over to the prince. That's the original words, no matter how many small ones I no longer know."

"Forget it," Su Ruoqi saw that this person really didn't know anything, and it was useless to ask. He just returned to the Prince's Mansion and didn't even care to drink his saliva, so he said, "The Prince is going out for a while, and I will prepare a horse for the Prince. .”

Su Ruoqi jumped up and galloped away like Qingshui Lane.When he arrived outside Mo Xue's mansion, he pulled the rein suddenly, and the horse raised its head to the sky with a long "wow", Su Ruoqi turned over and got off the horse, and was about to walk inside in a hurry.

Mo Xue's servant girl ran out in a hurry when she heard the horse's cry, and when she saw Su Ruoqi, she knelt down in front of him and kowtowed, "His Royal Highness, please make decisions for my young lady!"

Su Ruoqi didn't let go of the heart that was in his throat all the way. Seeing what the maid said, he became even more worried, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Mo Xue? Is there any injury?"

The maid cried, "Back to the prince, the young lady is not injured, but she was frightened and has already slept in the house."

When Su Ruoqi heard that Mo Xue was not injured, he said with some relief, "Then the prince will not go in for now, let Mo Xue sleep. Tell me, what happened?"

The maid couldn't wait to vomit quickly, so she told all the things that happened before, but she didn't dare to say that the princess brought someone to smash it, she only said that there was a woman.At the end, she cried, "His Royal Highness, my lady is just too kind to be bullied like this."

After Su Ruoqi finished listening, the veins on his forehead burst out of anger. He pushed open the door and saw the mess of the room, broken jade and porcelain, overturned tables and chairs, and the anger in his heart was even more intense. go up.

Mo Xue slept lightly, and woke up when she heard the sound. Seeing that it was Su Ruoqi, her eyes immediately shone with surprise, and she was about to get up.

Su Ruoqi quickly stepped forward to hold her down, touched Mo Xue's cheek tenderly, and said, "I've caused you to suffer, tell me who came here to make trouble, and I will make her pay the price."

Mo Xue nestled in Su Ruoqi's arms, and said in a weak voice, "I seem to have heard that she said she was the princess."

Hearing what Mo Xue said, Su Ruoqi couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, his voice was as cold as ice, "Crown Princess, you are so courageous."
