Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Chapter 40
The queen suddenly turned up the volume, causing Gu Yin to tremble slightly in fright, the tea in the cup was poured on the letter, the ink stains melted with water, and the handwriting on the letter became lighter and lighter.

Guo Sizhen couldn't help but feel a little complacent, and thought, "If there is no evidence, let's see how you testify against me."

Huang Sishan and Ruan Sishe looked at each other and showed their cards.

After reading it, the queen almost fainted.

"Money! It's all my money."

The queen loves money by nature, she recognizes money but not people.

Xia Chan supported the queen to sit down, the queen's eyes were like knives, Guo Sizhen wept silently, not daring to make a sound.

"Guo Sizhen used his power for personal gain and embezzled a huge amount. He was dragged out and hit [-] big boards."

Guo Sizhen was dragged away by the eunuch, and the screams resounded throughout Qiwu Palace.

"Send these bills to Qionghua Palace. The imperial concubine is a smart person, she knows what to do."

"Gu Changyi, you were shocked today. I will give you twenty pieces of Shu brocade and two catties of fragrant tea. Go back and suppress your shock."

The queen gave the order to evict the guests, and Gu Yinwei got up to leave.

Along the way, Chuchu wanted to ask many questions but held them back. When she returned to Jiaofangdian, she never closed her mouth again.

"Master, why did you destroy the envelope on purpose?"

"Because there are only the first two lines on the envelope."

Chu Chu chattered and asked Gu Yinwei many questions, and Gu Yinwei answered them one by one, and then Chu Chu closed her mouth in satisfaction.

Bian Tao poured tea for Gu Yinwei, then walked around behind Gu Yinwei and squeezed her shoulders, Gu Yin smiled and said, "Bian Tao, what do you want to ask?"

"There is one thing that I don't understand. At the beginning, the empress was very protective of Guo Sizhen, but later she lost her temper with Guo Sizhen. There is a big gap between before and after.

"The queen and the imperial concubine have a private agreement. Guo Sizhen is just a dirty glove. The money Guo Sizhen corrupted is not in her hands, but handed over to the imperial concubine. After receiving the money, the imperial concubine keeps part of it for herself. Use it, part of it is to honor the queen."

Bian Tao said: "They don't share the loot equally. The Empress knows that she has suffered a loss, so she definitely won't keep Guo Sizhen. As for the imperial concubine, she won't have Guo Sizhen to help her raise money, and she will be imprisoned. There is nothing to fear."

"Right now, except for Concubine Yirou and Concubine Yirou who have prejudices against the master, there is nothing to be afraid of. The master will be able to rest easy if she conceives a dragon fetus earlier."

"The emperor comes to Jiaofangdian a little more frequently, and those people's eyes are all on Jiaofangdian. If I become pregnant at this time, wouldn't I become a living target?"

Wan Tao didn't continue to persuade, she knew what the master had decided, and even nine cows could not be brought back.

Bian Tao went out to change the water with the cool teapot, and turned back half way and asked, "Master, how do you know the depreciation fee of Guo Sizhen's embezzlement so clearly?"

Gu Yin raised the picture book in his hand slightly, "Look at the picture book."

Almond obviously didn't believe it, and left with the teapot.

……

"The imperial concubine, please have some tea."

The imperial concubine raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is this tea hot?"

"If you go back to your mother, the tea has just been boiled."

The imperial concubine took the teacup and splashed it on the maid's face. The maid's face turned red, and transparent blisters appeared on her snow-white cheeks.

"Why do you work as an errand, just pour the freshly boiled tea for Bengong to drink like this, do you want to scald Bengong to death?"

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die." The maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"roll!"

The palace maid covered her face and ran away, her head was steaming white, thanks to the cold weather at this time, if it was summer, her face would probably be ruined.

After the imperial concubine vented, she sat down against the dressing table.

"Ruyi, you continue."

The imperial concubine took off her makeup in front of the mirror, and the face in the mirror was frosty.

"Guo Sizhen has been hit by the board, and the meaning of Qiwu Palace is obvious. He wants to let the empress

Fill holes. "

"I am going to mend the hole, how do I mend it?"

The imperial concubine waved her hand, and the powder box on the dressing table twirled and rolled down the stage, scattering the powder all over the floor.

"Guo Mo'er has been Sizhen for three years. This hole is not small. Even if there is not 1000 million, there will be 900 million. I can't conjure money out of nowhere."

"Niang Niang, do you want to consider the suggestion of the national teacher?"

"Wei Junzhai has a deep scheming mind. If he is not desperate, I really don't want to deal with him."

Ruyi smoothed the hem of her skirt, knelt down slowly, and picked up the powder box on the ground.

"I just dropped it, why did you pick it up again?"

"Your Majesty, today is different from the past. The incense powder of Bengbu Tegong has been used up, and no one has brought new ones. The meals of the slaves have been full of yellow leaves in the past month. This box of second-class incense powder, the empress, why not give it to me?" Slave, slave, exchange it for money to buy food."

The imperial concubine looked at Ruyi. Two months ago, her cheeks were round, but now they have sunken, looking like a skeleton.

"Ruyi, where's the lapel on your body?"

Ruyi touched her nose hastily, "Your servant forgot to wear it."

"Where are your jade bracelets and silver hairpins?"

"The servant has become a servant."

"Why are you doing this, you really don't."

The imperial concubine clenched her fist and hit Ruyi, cursing non-stop, "You trash, useless."

She scolded Ruyi and scolded herself.

"Why are you so miserable, why?"

The imperial concubine hugged Ruyi, and the master and servant wailed loudly, "You are for this palace, you are all for this palace."

After the self-impedement, the treatment in Qionghua Palace is not as good as before, and the food for the imperial concubine is all bought by Ruyi with her own money.

Wei Junzhai came in through the corner door with the cat in his arms, "I'm crying anyway, cry louder."

"Blocked by such a high palace wall, the crying inside cannot be heard from the outside."

The imperial concubine wiped away her tears and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Wei Junzhai found a chair and sat down, "What am I doing here, I'm here to send money to the imperial concubine."

"The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the truth is seen in adversity. There are so many people in the harem, who is eager to give you money, and it has to be me."

Wei Junzhai was holding a food box in his hand. When the food box was opened, the upper and lower floors were full of silver bills.

Ruyi rubbed her eyes, afraid that she might be wrong.

"National teacher, you didn't get this money with leaves, did you?"

"Aunt Ruyi, first of all, I would like to thank you for being so considerate of me. Secondly, if I can turn leaves into money, I can start my own money shop and become a dandy, and I will spend my life working like a dog for the emperor."

"If the imperial concubine doesn't want to accept the cashier, I can also send the money, but it's not easy to send the money in. In order to deceive people, I'm afraid I have to use the wooden barrels from the night village."

Ruyi covered her mouth, resisting the urge to vomit.

No wonder everyone in the harem said that the national teacher had bad breath, and it turned out to be true when I saw it today.

"Ruyi, put it away."

The imperial concubine instructed Ruyi to take away the food box, while she sat facing Wei Junzhai.

"The national teacher gave me so much money, what is the request?"

"Not too much, not too much, just enough to fill in the shortfall that Guo Sizhen has missed over the years."

The imperial concubine immediately became vigilant, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Your Majesty, I am a Taoist priest and a monk. Why are you nervous?"

"The poor have not been close to women for many years, even if they wanted to be close to women, they would not choose you, a half-mature lady."

The imperial concubine was so angry that she slapped the table, "Wei Junzhai, please pay attention to what you say."

"Help, the imperial concubine has beaten someone."

He sat down on the ground without any image, his feet fluttered up and down, and the cat in his arms looked at him with idiotic eyes. As an adult, he was not as good as a newly weaned civet cat.

"What are you yelling about?"

"Then what are you laughing at?"

Wei Junzhai made such a fuss, which completely made the imperial concubine laugh.

"I want Governor Tom to transport me a batch of stone materials from the Xiangjiang River to Kyoto."

"What do you want stones for?"

"Build a stone Taoist temple, so that it can be practiced as soon as possible."

The imperial concubine tested Wei Junzhai several times, and he did not show any abnormality. The imperial concubine drew up a pen and drew up a family letter, "You sign your name and stamp it. Otherwise, Governor Mu will think that I am a fake, so what if you let the dog bite me?" ?”

The imperial concubine had no choice but to take out her private seal and stamp it on the letter.

Wei Junzhai received the letter and left satisfied with the cat in his arms.

　Ask for tickets, the weather has been warm recently, a lot of flowers are blooming, happy
