Chapter 84
Looking at the back of Mu Ting leaving, Su Mianyue frowned. There was always tension between them, but Mu Ting's peacefulness today made Su Mianyue very uncomfortable, and always felt that it was a manifestation of conspiracy.

"If you're so reluctant, why don't you just keep him?" Wan Yanlin entered the room at some point, seeing Su Mianyue staring at the direction Mu Ting was leaving, she became irritable for no reason, and her words were mocking.

Gazing at Wanyan Lin, Su Mianyue stretched out her hand consciously, asking Wan Yanlin to continue to push the acupuncture points for her. Compared with the recovery of her hands, other things are nothing.

Wan Yanlin is not hypocritical, even though he is in a bad mood, his movements are still very gentle, but his gaze keeps on Su Mianyue, as if he wants to see through her.

"This time, is it enough for you to do business without showing your face for three to five years?" Su Mianyue was referring to the results of Wan Yanlin's robbery in the past few days.

"I didn't expect the treasury of Tianlan Nation to be so empty. Mu Ting is also a poor man, and the sum is less than 100 million taels of gold. Fortunately, the mansions of those Beijing officials are very rich, otherwise I will find you to pay the balance." Make it up." Wan Yanlin said dissatisfied, obviously this time the harvest is not enough for him to support him for three to five years.

Su Mianyue frowned, she didn't care about Mu Ting and Tianlan Nation, so naturally she didn't know so much, but she agreed with Wan Yanlin's evaluation, "Sure enough, she is poor enough." Her private treasury is more than this amount.

Thinking of Mu Ting's words before leaving, Su Mianyue had to worry again, how should she answer Mu Ting tomorrow to satisfy him?No, what should be done, so that Mu Ting will not feel that she is too capable, so that he can guard against her more and achieve his goal.

"It's fine if you're poor, but you still want to eat soft food from women, what a useless emperor." Seeing what Su Mianyue was thinking, Wan Yanlin snorted again.

"Do you think women's soft rice is so delicious?" Su Mianyue raised her head, met Wan Yanlin's eyes, and said with a low smile, "Since I dare to give you such an idea, I won't make it easier for him. the price to be paid.”

"Sure enough, the hearts of women are the most poisonous." Wan Yanlin was speechless, and then asked again: "It's not that you women are the most benevolent women, and you are not afraid that the national treasury will be empty, which will cause Tianlan Nation to be stared at by all countries. Cause the people to live in poverty?"

"Although I'm not a woman's benevolence, am I not so vicious that I use the lives of thousands of people as the price of reward?" Su Mianyue sneered, seeing Wan Yanlin looking at her suspiciously, said: "The beauty of the harem Three thousand, for the sake of Bolong's heart, how can he not give generously? There are hundreds of officials in the capital, which one is not rich in money? Not to mention, there are those profiteers..."

Seeing Su Mianyue smiling like a stealing cat, Wan Yanlin shook his head and sighed softly, secretly decided in his heart that he must never provoke this woman in the future, even if you are the emperor, you may not be able to bear her revenge.

It's a pity that Wan Yanlin has such awareness at this moment, but in the future, he will make a mistake that Su Mianyue hates even more than Mu Ting, and the revenge he will bear will be several times more.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Yan Lin's stiff smile, Su Mianyue asked suspiciously.

"Aren't you afraid that those officials and merchants will suck blood from the common people after bleeding for the court? It's hard to get their money." Wan Yanlin asked a question. He believed that Su Mianyue would definitely think of this question. I would also like to know how she solves it.

Su Mianyue gave a low laugh, looked at Wan Yanlin with an idiot's gaze, and said softly with her red lips, "Emperor's power."

There are only four words, which contain countless meanings, making Wan Yanlin's eyes sink.

If he can get a woman like Su Mianyue as his wife, will the road be smoother?
This thought flashed by, Wan Yanlin immediately closed his eyes, and his mood became disordered, he couldn't imagine how he could have such a thought, and he didn't even look away.

After finishing the massage, Wan Yanlin stayed for a while and said, "In two more days, there is no need to push the Gongguo acupoint for assistance. You will know how to take care of it yourself."

"Are you afraid of me?" Su Mianyue raised her eyes slightly, looking at Wan Yanlin with a dignified expression, she felt anger rising in her heart, but she didn't know why.

"No." Wan Yanlin shook his head, and he couldn't explain the reason for the decision he made at that moment, let alone explain it to Su Mianyue, and said, "I still have something to do, come back tomorrow."

Seeing Wan Yanlin leave, Su Mianyue said to herself, "This guy's head is caught by the door, right? Why does it feel like he's running away?"

Shaking her head, Su Mianyue didn't want to think about Yan Lin's weirdness anymore, she just thought that he was really urgent to leave because of something, so she wanted to go to bed, but she couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning, and she didn't fall asleep until dawn.

At the beginning of the hour, all the concubines were invited to Fengqi Palace to pay their respects, including Gu Ling.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Su Mianyue said, "Dear sisters, I invite you to come here today, hoping that everyone can share your worries and solve the difficulties of the family and the country. I believe that apart from the fact that the palace is closed, all sisters must have My own source of news should also know what happened, so I wonder if you sisters have any good strategies?"

Opening her mouth lightly, Su Mianyue glanced over the crowd, and knew that they all knew about the treasury theft and so on.

Sure enough, the front court and the rear palace are inseparable, so it will be easier for Su Mianyue to handle things well.

"Okay, everyone is a smart person, so I won't make any detours. I'm looking for all the sisters to discuss things today, why don't we just..." Su Mianyue's eyes just fell on Concubine Ling Gui, when she saw her face change. Change, hastily interrupted Su Mianyue's words.

"The empress is the lord of the six palaces, and the concubines and others will naturally look up to the empress." Gu Ling's words were reasonable, but it made everyone feel weird when she said them.

But no matter which faction it is, they can only agree with her words.

Su Mianyue smiled and said disapprovingly: "Although I am a queen, I am recuperating recently. The imperial doctor said that this palace is not suitable for hard work, so I don't dare to work hard on everything. I can only trouble the sisters. What's more Concubine Linggui won the holy favor alone, and she must have won the emperor's favor. Maybe she can point out the way for the sisters, right? Concubine Linggui doesn't have to refuse. No matter whether Concubine Linggui has ideas or not, the sisters will not laugh at them, they will always be the emperor's best friend. Mind."

Gu Ling was forced to the stage by Su Mianyue, so she had no choice but to speak, otherwise she would be in vain.

"The concubine entered the palace not long ago. Although she was favored by the emperor, she did not dare to take advantage of the favor and arrogantly intervene in the government affairs. She didn't know what Long Xin was thinking. I was afraid that I would disappoint all the sisters." Gu Lingrou said weakly, saying: Then he shirked his responsibility, but it also made everyone except Su Mianyue jealous.

Seeing that no one dared to say anything, Su Mianyue looked at Gu Ling with a smile, and saw that Gu Ling's eyes were full of provocation, Su Mianyue was not angry, and said indifferently: "Forget it, since all sisters I don't have the heart to share your worries for you, so why should I waste everyone's time here so thankfully? It's all gone."

Everyone was stunned, no one thought that Su Mianyue would give up the chance to please Mu Ting like this, especially Gu Ling was the most surprised, as if she didn't know Su Mianyue.

"Empress." Seeing that Su Mianyue was really about to leave, Gu Ling hurriedly called out.

"What's the matter with Concubine Ling?" Su Mianyue stopped and looked back, that shallow smile made people feel like a spring breeze, as if this smile could make all the women in the room lose their color.

Looking at Su Mianyue angrily, Gu Ling tried hard to suppress the jealousy in his heart, and said softly: "The concubine suddenly remembered that the concubine wanted to donate all the things in the private treasury to the court that day, but the emperor said that the things to be donated Since there is no reason to take it back, the concubine has no personal money, so she has no choice but to give up. However, the concubine heard that the emperor had visited Fengqi Palace, what did he say?"

Is this digging a hole for her to jump into?
Su Mianyue shook her head when Gu Ling's IQ reached the lower limit again, "The emperor came to sit for a while, asked a few words about my physical condition, and said he would come back today, but didn't say anything else. However, the emperor It's time to go down, maybe it will come over in a while."

Gu Ling looked at Su Mianyue bitterly. She didn't expect her to put aside the problem so quickly. Before Gu Ling could figure out how to drag Su Mianyue into trouble, the other concubines couldn't hold back, especially those who How could the neglected concubine not seize this opportunity?
"Empress, although the status of the concubine is low, there is no chance to use the salary these years. The concubine is willing to donate 1000 taels of silver to solve the country's difficulties." A concubine wearing a beauty-level palace attire stepped forward and asked Su Mianyue saluted.

"It turned out to be Meiren Cai, she really is a wonderful person." Su Mianyue nodded, but she had some impression of this 23-year-old Meiren Cai, who was the housemate of the Prince's Mansion, she had not been favored for several years, so she smiled He said to Biwu: "Biwu, write down Cai Meiren's name, and make sure to write it in a larger name. Cai Meiren is the first to stand up, which shows her loyalty to the emperor and my Tianlan country. By the way, The donated silver should also be written clearly, and presented to the emperor later, it must not be sloppy."

When the other concubines saw that people of no status like Cai Meiren had donated 1000 taels of silver, they naturally donated enthusiastically. Even Concubine Lang and Concubine Ya also donated 1 taels of silver each.

When Mu Ting came to Fengqi Palace, Su Mianyue reported the matter to Mu Ting before the donation was over.

Hearing this, Mu Ting looked at the concubines, nodded in relief, and immediately promoted Meiren Cai.

"Cai Guiren is an old man in the Prince's Mansion. He has served the emperor for the longest time. He is indeed loyal to the emperor. This nobleman is well-deserved." Su Mianyue smiled and asked someone to help Cai Guiren who was excited, and turned her head to Mu Ting. : "The concubine remembers Cai Guiren's melodious and melodious Xiao Sheng, and feels comfortable listening to it. The emperor is a person who misses old love, so he must also remember Cai Guiren's Xiao Sheng."

"Well, Cai Guiren's Xiao Sheng is indeed outstanding." Mu Ting nodded, and turned to Cai Guiren, "I'm very tired these days, so I'll go to your place to listen to a song tonight."

"Thank you, Majesty Long En." Cai Guiren hurriedly knelt down to thank him, his eyes were flushed, but his face was full of smiles.

Cai Guiren is undoubtedly an example. Even if other donors have not been promoted, they still hope to be favored. The concubines who have not had time to donate are naturally willing to make donations. The amount is even higher than the previous ones. It is a great competition. Mianyue also smiled and told Mu Ting what these concubines were good at, and Gu Ling gritted her teeth angrily.

"All the sisters have expressed their hearts, and the concubine also wants to join in the fun today." Su Mianyue smiled and looked at Gu Ling. Will she tell Gu Ling that Cai Guiren and others were all ordered by her?
Without the memory of the original owner, it took Su Mianyue a lot of effort to find out the details of the concubines in the harem, otherwise how could she tell Mu Ting the merits of these people and make Gu Ling jealous?

"The Empress has always been magnanimous, so this donation will definitely come out on top." Gu Lingqiang said with a smile on his face.

"Concubine Ling Gui, don't worry, I have absolutely no intention of getting ahead. After all, I am already the lord of the six palaces. What is there to fight for in this harem? Concubine Ling Gui has already stated that she is shy. I also know the inconvenience of Concubine Ling, but this list of donations will be made public for officials and merchants to use as a basis, so..." Su Mianyue smiled gracefully, ignored Gu Ling's distorted face, and looked at Mu Ting, with a slightly gloomy complexion, said with a slight smile, "Your Majesty, I know that you love Concubine Ling, and my concubine also loves the Emperor."

"What does the queen mean?" Mu Ting asked in a deep voice.

Su Mianyue smiled, not caring about Mu Ting's reaction, and continued: "The concubine wants to ask for a favor for Cai Guiren, who was the first to donate today, and Xie Zhaoyi, who has donated the most so far. The concubine will contribute 4 taels For silver, buy two jade bracelets from Concubine Linggui that the emperor gave to Concubine Linggui and give them to the two. Firstly, it is to make them feel more favored by the good luck of Concubine Linggui, and secondly, the 4 taels The money will be recorded in the book, and the right should be concubine Linggui to contribute a little heart to the court, what does the emperor think?"

Mu Ting nodded without thinking about it. When other people made donations, Mu Ting had negotiated with Su Mianyue that donations should not be limited to the inner court, so the list needs to be made public. Naturally, he was also troubled by the fact that Concubine Linggui did not have her own money. , but it's not easy to pay this money for Gu Ling, so it kills two birds with one stone.

It's just that Gu Ling didn't think about it at all, and only felt that Su Mianyue was slapping her in the face, and she was filled with resentment.
