Sang Tianjiao girl is a little sweet

Chapter 825 The Eighth Prince Is Really Willful

It was already midnight when Heizi and Heichou returned to the East Palace.

Thinking that Yue Xia should be sleeping at the moment, she thought about answering the question tomorrow morning, so she appeared in the East Palace because she didn't want to, so she heard Wuli say: "The prince is waiting for you in the study."

Heizi and Heichou were startled for a moment, and immediately headed towards the study.

Although what they had done for a day and two nights was tiring, it was very exciting for them.

As soon as the two entered the study, they knelt down on one knee, and Heizi was the first to speak: "Master, the matter has been settled."

Yue Xia, who was sitting behind the desk, was reading the brochure, and only raised her head when she heard Heizi's words, "Tomorrow noon, you all go to deliver 10 taels of silver to Master Li's residence for this palace, and the official bank will not be moved for the time being."

If it wasn't for Wu Yao's injury, it would be safer to leave this matter to him, and now there is no other way.

Wuyi was still staring at the old witch in Yongshou Palace at this time, and it was not easy to call him back.

As for the other shadow guards, Yue Xia had arranged them all over the East Palace long ago, with the purpose of protecting the safety of Hua Qian and Nian'er.

Today's East Palace can be described as an iron wall, and not a single fly can fly in.

Heizi and Heichou didn't understand what Yue Xia wanted the money for at this time, but they didn't say much, they nodded and accepted the order, and then retreated and left the study.

Yue Xia also got up and went back to the bedroom after reading the notebook in his hand.

The next day, when Hua Qian got up, Yue Xia had already left.

While having breakfast, Mo Bai and Hei Yu, who had disappeared for several days, suddenly reappeared, looking at Hua Qian anxiously, hesitating to speak.

Hua Qian had no choice but to put down her half-eaten breakfast and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Mo Bai and Hei Yu looked at each other, pushed each other, and finally Mo Bai stood up and said: "Little master, the old master's cemetery was patronized by thieves, although there is no loss..."

Speaking of this, Mo Bai stopped.

Hua Qian was not stupid, she knew what he was going to say, and said, "If you are worried, you can go back and guard."

Mo Bai was slightly stunned, his face brightened, and he hesitated immediately, "If we all leave, there will be no one around the little master."

"It's as if I left you too much." Hua Qian snorted coldly, "Are the other shadow guards all dead?"

Hei Yu pushed Mo Bai, pushed him aside, and said with a smile: "Little master, we can leave one of us to take care of you."

Hua Qian looked at Hei Yu's flattering smiling face, "Come on! You guys hurry up, I don't need you here!"

Hearing Hua Qian's disgusting tone, Hei Yu smiled and boasted, "Little master, you are more ruthless than killing a donkey!"

"You can still eat meat by killing donkeys!" Hua Qian said, looking at Mo Bai and Hei Yu, "I have to dig a hole to bury you after killing you, it's too tiring!"

"Puchi..." Wuli, who was standing by and waited on him, couldn't hold back and laughed.

Mo Bai and Hei Yu's faces were dark, and they couldn't get angry with Hua Qian, so they could only hum aggrieved.

"Okay, don't stay here, hurry back to Linshui City." Hua Qian waved her hand, sending Mo Bai and Hei Yu away.

The two of them were very depressed, but considering Hua Qian's safety, Mo Bai asked again, "Little master, do you really need one of us to stay?"

"If you want to leave, hurry up, why are you so wordy!" Hua Qian spat impatiently.

Mo Bai's face was completely dark at this moment, and he dragged Hei Yu out of the East Palace without looking back.

She couldn't understand why Hua Qian treated Mo Bai and Hei Yu like this, and asked in a low voice: "Little master, did Mo Bai and Hei Yu make you angry?"

Hua Qian picked up the unfinished breakfast, continued to eat with relish, and said vaguely: "No."

Now, Wuli was even more puzzled.

"Then why didn't the little master keep one of you?" Wu Li asked.

Hua Qian finished the last bite of food in the bowl, burped indecently, and said, "When did you see Mo Bai and Hei Yu showing anxious expressions at the same time?"

Wuli thought about it carefully, and soon understood the meaning of Huaqian's words.

"Could it be that something serious happened to Xie's family?" Wu Li's face changed slightly, and he looked at Hua Qian nervously.

Regarding this, Hua Qian was noncommittal, and only said: "I don't know for now, but the two of them are so eager to rush back. It is probably not just as simple as the great-grandfather's cemetery being patronized, there may be other things."

After Wuli heard this, he was inevitably a little nervous, because Wushang was sent back to Linshui City to deliver a letter by Huaqian three days ago, and he has not returned yet.

In the following days, Yue Xia still left early and returned late to supervise the repair work of the moat.

Many officials, headed by Jiang Weishan, saw that the repair work of the moat was about to be completed, but all of them kept laughing.

After all, for the repair work this time, the Ministry of Household Affairs only paid less than 5 taels of silver, and the rest of the silver taels needed for the project were all paid by the crown prince, Yue Xia.

"The prince who just took office is really headstrong. He spent nearly 20 taels just to repair the western section of the moat. The repair cost of the entire moat is as high as more than 100 million taels. Tsk tsk, he is really rich!"

In Xianyun Building, in an elegant room facing the river, many adults surrounded Jiang Weishan, saying some things that belittled Yue Xia.

"The concubine's natal family is rich, so the prince will inevitably be self-willed, not to mention that the repair of the moat is also for the people downstream." This seems to be a compliment, but there is a sense of ridicule inside and outside the words.

In the past, at least five or six million taels would be allocated by the Household Department for repairing the moat. If any one of them was in charge, at least half of the money would be obtained from it.

It's a pity that this matter was taken over by the newly appointed prince this year, and it cost them a chance to make money, which is really annoying!
Holding the teacup, Jiang Weishan smiled calmly, "The weather is getting hotter, and the water level in the river is slowly rising. It is not known whether this moat can stop it."

Everyone in the private room was startled for a moment, and then smiled tacitly.

"Master Jiang is absolutely right."

"The moat that was repaired in previous years couldn't withstand the impact of the flood. It collapsed for a short period and flooded several villages downstream."

"The village was flooded, and we need to provide disaster relief without talking about it. The prince is busy."

Everyone was chattering, all gloating.

Jiang Weishan put down the teacup in his hand, stroked his beard with a smug smile, and said casually:

"I think back then, when Princess Ruan was born, it rained heavily that night in Daqi, which had been drought for half a year. Not to mention the first emperor Longyan Dayue, the people even called her Princess Xiangrui.

If all the villages downstream of the moat are flooded this year, the new crown prince may be..."

At that time, if he adds fuel to the flames again, the crown prince Yue Xia will be done.

The adults present here are not stupid, and quickly understood what Jiang Weishan meant when he didn't finish speaking.

However, not long after Jiang Weishan was complacent, when he left Xianyun Building and returned to Jiang's Mansion, he bumped into the butler of the mansion.

Just about to get angry, the butler got up in a panic and whispered in his ear: "Master,"

After hearing this, Jiang Weishan was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious: "A bunch of trash!"

After Jiang Weishan finished cursing, he felt a dull pain in his heart, a fishy and sweet air surged up, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly supported Jiang Weishan's body, and said tremblingly, "Master, are you... are you alright?"
