Chapter 32
He still remembers the scene when Su Mianyue didn't care about Concubine Chongling kneeling down just now.
She had such a noble status, and she was once such a proud person... Her heart seemed to be wrapped in layers of thin and sharp silk threads, but the tumbling emotions in her eyes were fleeting, and were quickly covered up by a smile.
Prince Rui lowered his head and drank a glass of wine, and laughed at himself: "She was afraid she was shy, so she refused to come with me, she should have left by now."
Seeing him smile, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly heated up again.
Su Mianyue trots all the way back to Fengqi Palace sneakily. At this time, Fengqi Palace is brightly lit. When Su Mianyue enters the house, she finds that Biwu and others are fighting the landlord while she is away!
"Ouch, the empress is back!" Chunhua Qiuyue was the first to see Su Mianyue, quickly put down the cards, got up and blessed her body.
When Biwu heard it, the cards in his hand loosened in fright, and all fell to the ground.
She smiled and said, "Miss, you are back so soon!"
Su Mianyue's face was dark: "Well, you are so dead, Biwu, you don't care about my life or death, and you are still in the mood to fight the landlord here. Let's see how I deal with you! You still think I came back early!"
Bi Wu knelt down on the ground and said pitifully, "My lady, you have wrongly blamed the servant girl. The servant girl is worried that you are too late. The servant girl is useless even for dinner."
Su Mianyue gave him a blank look: "No need, just look at the fat one!"
When Biwu heard this, she quickly took a peek at her waist, and saw that she didn't seem too fat, so she ordered Chunhua Qiuyue to give Su Mianyue dinner in a good mood.
"Miss, why did you come back at this time?" Biwu began to express his loyalty, "The servant who saw Si Zhenfang's carriage came back early, but I didn't see you, miss, so I was very worried."
Su Mianyue glared at her: "I'm worried that you will still fight the landlord!"
Biwu laughed and said, "Oh, I thought that Miss, you might have gone back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Yes!Su Mianyue almost forgot that she still has a father who is a prime minister in Shangjing. If she had known, she should have gone to the prime minister's mansion to find her father, so that she would not have to look at that eccentric Prince Rui.
As soon as Prince Rui was mentioned, Su Mianyue sent Chunhua Qiuyue away, and asked Biwu thoughtfully: "Biwu, how much do you know about the matter between me and Prince Rui?"
Seeing Su Mianyue mentioning Prince Rui, Biwu felt a little surprised. She looked at Su Mianyue's face and saw that she was not angry, so she said cautiously: "Prince Rui liked Miss very much at first, but Miss liked Your Majesty, before Miss met His Majesty, she was definitely going to marry Prince Rui, but because Miss fell in love with His Majesty at first sight, so Prince Rui had no choice but to let it go. It's a pity that His Majesty's favorite person is the one from Weiyang Palace..."
It turned out to be a four-cornered love, it really is ruthless, Su Mianyue thought secretly.
"Miss, why did you think of mentioning Prince Rui today? Could it be that you saw Prince Rui today?" Bi Wu guessed.
Su Mianyue curled her lips: "I see, but I feel that he is not easy to get along with."
Bi Wu waved his hand: "Maybe it's because the young lady married the emperor. Prince Rui is one of the four beauties in the capital. Many daughters of princes and nobles want to marry him, but he refuses them all. Presumably he is also an infatuated person. After setbacks, people's personality changes are also normal."
"Why is he infatuated with me?" Su Mianyue was a little confused, she wanted to ask clearly now, so as not to reveal her secrets when they met later.
Biwu said with a smile: "It's not a typical storyline, but it's love at first sight."
Su Mianyue glanced at Biwu: "It seems that you have read a lot of scripts recently."
Biwu smiled and said, "Miss praised me, although the slaves read a lot, but all the words are taken from life, isn't this the same as Prince Rui and Miss? It's just that the lady doesn't like him, and every time they meet, she always speaks sarcasticly to him. At that time, Prince Rui thought you were his sure concubine, so he put up with it, now seeing you marrying someone else, he must feel very uncomfortable."
Su Mianyue nodded, with this attitude, it would be easy to handle.
As she said that, Su Mianyue remembered something, she took out a note and handed it to Biwu: "You help me pay attention to one thing these few days."
"Miss, please tell me!" Bi Wu took the receipt.
After Su Mianyue whispered a few words in her ear, Biwu nodded repeatedly and said, "No problem, miss, you can rest assured and wait for my good news."
A few days later, a major event happened in Shangjing, which caused a sensation in the whole city.
The hundred-year-old shop "Golden Jade Mantang" in Shangjing and Yihongyuan held a unique auction. The treasures in the auction were surprisingly tight, and three treasures were the most popular.
One is a pair of exquisite emerald jade hairpins. At that time, the price was so high that it was bought by a wealthy businessman for 6 taels of silver as a gift to his tenth concubine.There was also a pair of emerald green jade bracelets, which were sold at a higher price, and were bought by a jade fan at a price of 5000 taels.
Originally, this was a high price that could shock the whole city and the entire pawn industry, but what happened next left everyone dumbfounded.
It was a white jade Avalokitesvara, with excellent color and luster. At first glance, it was carved from a single piece of rare jade. When it was brought to the stage, everyone was shocked.
This treasure was the finale, and it attracted many people to rush to buy it. Finally, it was sold by an anonymous person with 10 taels of gold. The white jade gave birth to the son Guanyin became famous all of a sudden.
At this moment in Fengqi Palace, Su Mianyue was listening to Biwu report the accounts to her.
"Boss Wu said that you and him will get sixty-four points, deducting some expenses, and you will get this amount." Biwu said and handed a bank note to Su Mianyue.
Su Mianyue accepted it with a smile, and she immediately beamed with joy: "Okay, Boss Wu is really doing a good job, and there must be a good show soon."
In the upper study room facing Fengqi Palace.
Mu Ting was staring at something angrily, and that thing was none other than the White Jade Avalokitesvara that Su Mianyue gave to the boss of Jin Yu Man Tang earlier.
"Where did you get this thing?" Mu Ting said.
A minister fell to his knees and said tremblingly, "Yes...it was bought by Weichen at an auction."
When Mu Ting heard this, his face became even more ugly. He suppressed his anger and asked, "How much did you get for this thing?"
The minister knelt on the ground in fear, and replied honestly: "The minister and several colleagues bid together, and the total cost was 10 taels of gold."
The minister was very guilty, he went to Yihong Courtyard to find the prostitute he wanted, and happened to catch up with the auction, if he hadn't been on good terms with Concubine Ling's father, Gu Shangshu, he would have seen this statue when he visited Concubine Ling. Ziguanyin, he definitely wouldn't spend so much money to photograph it.
It would be a great shame and humiliation to know that the imperial treasures flowed out of the palace and were still in a place like Yihong Courtyard!
Fortunately, he was ahead of others, and he took a picture of it and presented it to the emperor. He might be favored by the emperor. In view of his loyalty, he was promoted to a higher rank. The more the minister thought about it, the more excited he became, as if he felt that a bright future was waving at him.
Unexpectedly, Mu Ting snorted coldly, and shouted sharply: "Liu Shangshu, you are so courageous!"
Liu Shangshu was shocked, and before he understood what was going on, Mu Ting said angrily: "As a household secretary, you actually got a huge sum of 10 taels of gold, which shows that you are corrupt and accept bribes on weekdays. I have squeezed the people a lot, it seems that all of my Tianlan's wealth has flowed into the pocket of you, Liu Shangshu!"
When Liu Shangshu heard this, his face turned pale. Just now he was still dreaming of getting promoted and getting rich. He never thought that his official career would come to naught so quickly.
"According to my decree, Liu Fuying will be resigned from the post of Minister of the Household Department, and all his family properties will be confiscated!"
Liu Fuying never dreamed that she was just trying to find a trick, but instead walked into a big hole that had been dug.
He knelt down tremblingly and bowed to the commandment, then his vision went dark, and he passed out.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Liu..." Zhao Quan, the eunuch next to Mu Ting, reminded him in a low voice.
Mu Ting didn't even look at it, and said coldly, "Throw it out!"
"Hey——" Zhao Quan said, and called some young eunuchs to drag Liu Fuying out. After thinking about it, he still asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, what should I do with this Guanyin?"
Mu Ting's face was dark, looking at the Jade Guanyin on the table emitting a soft light, he felt that his face had been slapped hard.He told himself to calm down, so suppressing his anger, he muttered: "Take it, and drive to Weiyang Palace."
In Weiyang Palace, a beauty with bright eyes and white teeth is taking a nap. She is dressed gorgeously and her belly is slightly bulging.
Hearing the news that the emperor was coming, she suddenly opened her eyes and shouted: "Xiu Xue, quickly help me up."
She stood at the entrance of the hall and put on the most beautiful posture. When she saw Mu Ting striding in with coercion, she was blessed with a short stature, and said in a sweet voice, "All blessings, Your Majesty."
"Qingqing, tell me, what's going on?" Mu Ting strode in like a gust of wind, flicked the long sleeves of the bright yellow and gold dragon robe, and sat down heavily on the red sandalwood hollow peony chair with a serious face. .
Gu Ling was overjoyed, and just about to show a charming smile, he suddenly saw a white jade Buddha statue in Zhao Quan's hand, and his body shook instantly.
Gu Ling stared at the white jade Buddha statue in shock, his heart agitated.
With her eyesight, she must have recognized at a glance that this is the Buddha statue given to her by Mu Ting, but this Buddha statue was clearly kept by her, so how could it be in Mu Ting's hands in a blink of an eye.
Seeing Mu Tingjun's gloomy face, and the cold light flickering in his black eyes, Gu Ling's mind was spinning a thousand times, and he hurriedly called his maid, opened the treasure troves that usually kept precious things, and asked them to sit in the pile of beautiful jewels. Searched carefully.
"Your majesty, my concubine really doesn't know." Gu Ling plopped down on the green brick floor in front of the emperor, ignoring the pain in his knees on the hard brick, and said sadly.
"Really?" Mu Ting would always feel pity for her cute and pitiful appearance on weekdays, but at this moment, he remained unmoved, and could only look coldly at Gu Ling who was full of surprise.
Gu Ling also had 1 doubts. This white jade Buddha statue was bestowed by the emperor himself, and she cherished it most. How could it fly away for no reason, and even ran into the emperor's hands.
Impossible, someone must have deliberately murdered her!
Gu Ling's white slender hands, which were shrunk in the Tanglan filigree phoenix pattern skirt, were tightly pinched together, but his face was still calm, waiting anxiously for the maidservant's reply.
Her only hope rests on this.
"Your Majesty!" A maidservant threw herself down at her feet with a crying voice, and said in horror, "The Guanyin of Songzi is gone!"
