Acacia does not fail to turn the year

Chapter 168 Leave the palace or stay in the palace?

The idea that Su An'an came up with was to interview them one by one, asking them if they wanted to stay in the palace and be their titular concubine of the emperor, or take 1000 taels of silver out of the palace to find another way out.

Except for Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen, Su Anan invited the remaining five people to Longyin Palace to discuss this matter.

"A concubine sees the imperial concubine An."

Everyone saluted Su An'an respectfully.

"You're welcome, I'm not here to trouble you today, and you don't have to be nervous, Yuzhu, I'll serve you tea." Su An'an said calmly.

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, and they were relieved when they saw that Su An'an really didn't mean to embarrass them.

"I don't know why the empress asked the concubines to come here today?"

The leader is He Meiren. They are all of similar status, and they are all some inconspicuous beauties.

"That's how it is. Now that the palace is exclusively favored by the emperor, do you have any complaints? If you have any complaints, just speak up." Su An'an asked tentatively first.

"Your Majesty... How dare the concubines." He Meiren said with a look of embarrassment.

"I'll tell you the truth directly. You should all be aware of the matter between the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager, right?"

The five nodded, not understanding what this has to do with the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager?
"Now, the emperor wants to follow the example of the Supreme Emperor and abolish the six palaces, leaving me alone, but I feel that this is not fair to you, so I came to ask you today, because I am willing to take 1000 taels of silver Go out of the palace, or stay in the palace and be a concubine in name only. I will give you some time to think about it carefully. After thinking about it, tell me the answer. No matter what you choose, I will not object. Ready." Su An'an pointed to the box beside him and said.

After the five people listened to Su An'an's words at first, they were unwilling and angry in their hearts, but they became calmer after a while, and finally, they succumbed to reality.

"Your Majesty, the concubines have discussed it. Lin Cairen and Bai Meiren have no one to rely on. Even if they have 1000 taels of silver, they will not be able to get along after leaving the palace. So the two of them chose to stay in the palace. After all, they have no food or clothing. Worry." He Meiren spoke as a representative among them.

"What about the three of you?" Su An'an raised her eyebrows, as if their choice had been in her expectation.

"To tell you the truth, the three of us are concubines in our family. We entered the palace together with your empress last year. We already have a sweetheart after entering the palace. Therefore, we are willing to leave the palace with 1000 taels of silver." He Meiren was very pleased. Say it boldly.

It was He Meiren's frankness that made Su An'an look at her with admiration. Su An'an now found that she liked this He Meiren quite a bit, at least she wouldn't play tricks. It was much better than those people who were calm on the surface but sinister in secret.

"Okay, for the sake of your straightforwardness, you each receive 2000 taels of silver, and you are ready to tell me at any time, and I will send someone to escort you out of the palace until you find your sweetheart." Su Anan was also very happy Said briskly.

"Thank you, concubine--"

The three knelt down together and kowtowed to Su An'an to thank him.

The remaining two...

"You guys have to think about it. Staying in the palace will not trouble you, but you will not be favored by the emperor. You will only have a title. Of course, if you want to leave the palace in the future, come and talk to me again. , maybe my palace won't give you such generous treatment." Su An'an looked at the other two and said.

"Back to the empress, the concubine has already figured it out, and will stay in the palace in the future and will never cause trouble to the empress." Bai Meiren said.

Su An'an nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Lin Cairen again.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has something that I would like to say to my Majesty alone..." Lin Cairen faltered, a little timidly.

Seeing this, Su An'an asked the other four people to go back to the palace first, and then asked the other palace people to guard the door, leaving only Yuzhu.

"Now, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Your Majesty, the concubine can only tell the truth now. In fact, there was someone she liked before the concubine entered the palace, but before the concubine entered the palace, that person had already married someone else, but just after they got married Not long after, the concubine's sweetheart suddenly died suddenly, and the woman she married was also missing. The reason why the concubine wanted to stay in the palace was to ask the emperor to help the concubine investigate the cause of her sweetheart's death..." Lin Cai The voice said tearfully.

"So, you suspect that the woman murdered your sweetheart?" Su An'an followed Lin Cairen's words and continued to ask.

"Yes." Lin Cairen nodded.

"Your sweetheart betrayed you, but you still want to help him find a murderer?" Su An'an was very puzzled. What's the reason?
"Although she has failed me, my concubine still loves him deeply, and I ask the emperor to help my concubine investigate. After the investigation is clear, my concubine will naturally leave the palace!" Lin Cairen said, biting his lips firmly. I'm afraid that Su An'an will not agree to her request.

Su An'an thought for a while, and thought that Lin Cairen could be regarded as a kind-hearted person, so she should help her and treat the child in her stomach as a good deed.

"Get up, I will mention this matter to the emperor, you should go back to the palace and wait for news."

"The concubine thanked the empress, and the concubine will never forget the great kindness and virtue of the empress."

Su An'an asked Yuzhu to send Lin Cairen out of Longyin Palace.

Now, only Concubine Shu and Concubine Chen are left.

Su An'an's mind is small, she can't see that Nanxian Muchen has so many women in the harem, so she can get rid of one as long as she can.

"Ma'am, what are you thinking?" Seeing Su An'an in a daze, Yuzhu asked.

"Yuzhu, what do you think of Concubine Shu?"

"Ah? The slaves don't know much about Concubine Shu. They only know that Concubine Shu goes deep into the palace and rarely shows up in the palace. However, according to the palace people's evaluation of Concubine Shu, it should be that kind of concubine. People who get along with each other." Yuzhu told Su An'an what she had learned.

After Su An'an heard this, she probably already had a plan in mind, and she would go to talk to Concubine Shu tomorrow.

At this moment, Nanxian Muchen had returned from discussing state affairs in the imperial study.

"How is the matter resolved? Is it useful?" Nanxian Muchen looked at Su An'an playfully.

"Of course, three people have already agreed to leave the palace with money." Su An'an said proudly.

"Oh? Really? What about the rest? We didn't agree?" Nanxian Muchen smiled.

"One of them is going to die of old age in the palace, and the other one may be a bit difficult." Su An'an couldn't help frowning when she thought of what Lin Cairen said.
