Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 254
In the imperial garden, the prime minister was about to retreat after discussing state affairs with several officials, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Prime Minister, I heard that the prime minister's mother is now a long-lived, and is going to hold a birthday banquet?" Xiao Shengyun said with a smile.

Seeing him mentioning this matter, the Prime Minister stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "I thank His Majesty for the old mother. It is true. I have sent someone to arrange the birthday banquet in the past few days. The birthday banquet will be tomorrow."

Several officials on the side congratulated the prime minister, and the prime minister responded with a smile.

Su Lijin, who was bored in the imperial garden, heard about this, and hid behind the pillars of the corridor, her eyes rolled slightly.

"The prime minister's mother's birthday?" She blinked.

Thinking of birthdays, she immediately thought of the crowds in the Prime Minister's Mansion and the gates were open.

"Doesn't that mean that we can get in by then?"

Previously, she wanted to investigate the prime minister's mansion, but was baffled by the strict guards. Isn't this birthday banquet a great opportunity?
Su Li's eyes flashed with excitement, and she looked towards the prime minister and the others.

She saw, on the other side, Xiao Shengyun smiled and said: "The prime minister has worked hard for the country for half his life, and I am also deeply moved. Now the prime minister's mother has a birthday, and I also want to go to celebrate her birthday in person."

Zhang Wenfeng never expected that the emperor would propose to go to celebrate his birthday in person, and was momentarily stunned.

"Why, what is the prime minister unwilling to do?"

"No, no, this minister is overjoyed." Hurrying back to his senses, Zhang Wenfeng looked complacent and flattered.

"Your Majesty, it is my old mother's honor and the honor of the entire Prime Minister's House that you can go to celebrate her birthday in person. There is no way you would be unwilling."

He waved his hands again and again: "I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain the emperor well then."

"Since the minister is celebrating his birthday, he naturally doesn't care too much about the gifts of the monarch and his ministers. The prime minister does not need to be afraid." Xiao Shengyun's black eyes were slightly deep.

"The minister must bring the whole family to welcome the emperor." Zhang Wenfeng said happily.

Behind the pillar, Su Lijin already had a plan in mind.

On the second day, Xiao Shengyun's imperial driver was about to set off, but a figure swayed out.

Xiao Shengyong paused as he was about to get into the carriage, looked at the woman among the court ladies, and said, "Shiqi, what are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, she would be found out, Su Lijin took a step forward, coughed lightly and said, "Your Majesty, Shiqi also wants to go."

"I can go to this matter in person, you stay in the palace well." Xiao Shengyun refused.

He naturally knew what she was planning to do, but this time, he could just go, after all, there were still unpredictable risks in the prime minister's mansion.

But Su Lijin refused: "No, I agreed to go to investigate, now I have the opportunity, how can I not go? Your Majesty, you can't do this, Shiqi has been staring at the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time."

She held the carriage with both hands, as if she couldn't drive it away.

Seeing this, Xiao Shengyun shook his head with a bit of a headache: "Okay, then you can get into the carriage with me."

Overjoyed in his heart, Su Lijin was about to jump into the carriage, but a voice came from above his head: "Remember, be careful in everything, otherwise, I will have someone take you back to the palace directly."

"Don't worry, your majesty, Shiqi must be extremely careful." She said, but she was thinking about how to investigate for a while.

When Yu Jia arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, as well as the officials who came to congratulate him, knelt on the ground to greet him.

Su Lijin was still incarnate as a maid, following beside the emperor.

Xiao Shengyun raised his hand: "Everyone, please, today is the prime minister's mother's birthday, and I'm just here to congratulate her, so don't be too formal."

After getting this sentence, everyone got up.

Everyone looked at the prime minister with admiration in their eyes, and they all praised the prime minister for being a celebrity in the dynasty and having won the grace of the emperor.

Hearing these words, the prime minister was very helpful, and said with a smile: "The emperor please, I will guide you."

Xiao Shengyun nodded, and wandered around the prime minister's mansion.

While walking around, she also talked about some state affairs, Su Lijin was bored listening to it, but her eyes were observing the surroundings without blinking.

At this time, there are still many guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they are not very strict because they have a royal driver and are not easy to collide with.

As he was walking, Xiao Shengyun suddenly covered his heart, his face paled.

"Your majesty, what's the matter with you?" The prime minister was startled, and hurriedly said: "Quickly tell the imperial doctor, the emperor is not feeling well, hurry up!"

Su Lijin took a look, but her face was pretending to be flustered, and she ran towards one direction.

Everyone thought she had called the imperial physician in a hurry, but they didn't care.

However, after turning a corner, the worry on Su Lijin's face was gone, and there was a hint of deep meaning in her eyes. She disappeared in a flash, and she didn't know where she went in the mansion.

"Your Majesty, please slow down and take a good rest." Carefully helping the Emperor to sit on the chair, the prime minister flattered him and said, "Your Majesty, are you feeling better now?"

"Your Majesty, there is still a high-quality ginseng in the minister's mansion. I will ask someone to bring it to you later. That thing can nourish and is very good for the body."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, you are blessed and will be fine."

Xiao Shengyun didn't speak, but there was a burst of laughter from the side.

"Prime Minister, where did you learn all these good words, it really makes this hall look good." Xiao Zhaolin walked over with a sneer.

The prime minister's face froze, a little displeased: "Your Highness, this is what I think in my heart."

After finishing speaking, he said: "Your Highness, let's go to another place for a walk, as long as there are ministers here."

This meant that he clearly didn't want Xiao Zhaolin to stay here to mock him.

Xiao Zhaolin saluted Xiao Shengyun, but he really left.

He wanted to go to the front hall to have a look, but halfway through, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, who seemed to be a servant of Xiangfu.

Sneaky, I don't know what I'm doing.

"Hmph, I want to see what's wrong with the prime minister's mansion!" He took a stride and quietly followed.

Followed all the way, finally found that the servant got into a rockery and disappeared.

Frowning, Xiao Zhaolin glanced suspiciously and followed in.

When he walked into the rockery, he was shocked by the scene before him.

In the secret room behind the rockery, there is actually a mountain of wealth piled up, which is as huge as half the national treasury!

Among them, several boxes still have seals with the words "locust disaster relief silver" written on them.

Xiao Zhaolin sneered angrily: "What a prime minister, he actually swallowed so much behind the back of the hall, and the amount in the hall is not enough for a fraction of what is here!"

He also participated in the corruption case, but he didn't expect that the prime minister was so much more than him, how could this make him reconciled?
"The disaster relief money is here with you, let's see how you argue!" He rushed out and went directly to the prime minister, wanting to confront him.

At this time, the prime minister had brought Xiao Shengyun to the back garden, and when he saw Xiao Zhaolin, he was slightly surprised.

Xiao Zhaolin took him aside with a cold face, and said in a low voice: "Master Prime Minister, there is disaster relief money hidden in your house, are you not afraid that this matter will be exposed?"

"What relief money?" The prime minister frowned.

"Don't pretend, the hall has seen it."

Xiao Zhaolin sneered.

"You said the disaster relief money is in my house?"

"Then it's still in the palace?"

"Not good! Your Majesty..."

Suddenly, the prime minister's face changed and he ran away in a hurry.
