Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 57

"Crack" the folder in the emperor's hand fell to the ground.The emperor didn't care about the papers scattered all over the place, and remained silent, the atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was oppressive.

Xiaoluzi bowed to pick up the booklet, held it respectfully in his hand, and put the booklet on the imperial case under the emperor's gaze.Then he took a step back and continued to stand in the corner pretending to be a wooden man.

The wooden man Xiaoluzi was shocked in his heart. When he picked up the notebook just now, he accidentally glanced at the contents of the notebook.

On the booklet are the handwriting of Fengyang Wang Longfei and Fengwu, and those words are heart-pounding. "Fengyang suffered a severe drought this spring, and the people were in dire straits. I sent a letter to the imperial court, hoping that the emperor would be sympathetic to the subjects under his rule, and reduce the tax and tribute in Fengyang this spring."

Fengyang City pays tribute on time every year without any delay.All kinds of things this time made people wonder what kind of medicine was sold in Fengyang Wang's gourd.

Fengyang City, which has kept its law and order for many years, finally has a movement.But this movement touched His Majesty's bottom line, which was not what His Majesty wanted to see.

"Fengyang City, heh, my uncle is very interesting. There is a severe drought this spring, and the tax will be reduced or exempted!" The emperor's laughter seemed abrupt in the silent palace, and Xiao Luzi was shaken by his laughter. Suffered.

After laughing, he said gloomyly, "Prince Fengyang is a man of incomparable wealth, this trivial matter can still stump the well-known Fengyang King!"

As if thinking of something funny, a hint of a smile appeared on his lips again.

"According to my decree, no tribute will be added to Fengyang this spring, and the original tax will be paid." The emperor paused, and then said, "I, the emperor, is so considerate of Fengyang's subjects, the king of Fengyang will be grateful, right?!"

"The emperor is wise." Xiao Luzi boasted unnaturally, twitching the corner of his mouth.

"Come on, let's go down. I'm calling you for something." The emperor waved Xiaoluzi away.

As soon as Xiaoluzi closed the palace door, the emperor said to the dark place, "Come out!"

"Subordinates refer to the lord." The person in the dark put his fists on his face and saluted the emperor.

"Get up. Did Anbu find any useful news today."

"Not yet." The visitor's short answer made the emperor seem not very satisfied.

If he wanted to understand the situation in Fengyang, he had to start from the subtleties, "What has the King of Fengyang done recently?"

"Wang Fengyang stayed with Mrs. Bai in the palace all day long, and he didn't go out or make any changes."

"He can sit still, heh." The emperor sneered, "Try again, and report any movement in Fengyang City in time, and don't let go of any disturbance."

"My subordinate understands."

"Where did Nanluo's salt tax go?" Thinking of the situation in Nanluo, the emperor couldn't help asking.

Du Xianyu has always been safe, if he is not really afraid that he cannot control the situation, he should return to Beijing to report on his duties in person.He will never send his son back to Beijing to report Nanluo's affairs for him.For the sake of having worked for the royal family for so many years, he could protect his son's life if necessary and give his son a good job.

"According to the days, it's time to pass Fengyang City." The current leader of Anbu replied after calculation.

"Let people in Fengyang be more vigilant, and don't seek other people's advice." The emperor ordered.

"Subordinates, go and contact An Qi." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man on the beam with gravel.

"This subordinate has offended me. I just received the news from the Dark Seven Division. I need to inform the leader. I don't want to disturb the emperor." Liang flew down and bowed to the emperor.

"Anjiu, have you forgotten Anbu's rules?" Facing Anjiu's unauthorized actions, the leader scolded.

"It's okay, show it to me." The emperor interrupted the leader's reprimand.

"Master, please take a look. The slaves deserve to die. The slaves are not good at doing things. I beg the master to punish you." A slightly trembling voice came from the dark.

"Oh. But what happened to Fengyang?" the emperor asked while opening the cloth strip.Dark Seven is responsible for the news delivery of Fengyang City and is the leader of the Fengyang spies.Under normal circumstances, Anbu would not personally send a message back to Beijing, and the Anbu members under him would be in charge.The news delivered by Dark Seven this time will definitely not be simple and optimistic.

"Returning to the Lord, Fengyang Anqi sent back the news that... the people we escorted for the salt tax were caught in a strong wind and lost their trace when they were passing through Fengyang City. Anqi has ordered Fengyang Anqi to dispatch all of them to secretly search for the missing people. The whereabouts of the personnel have not been found so far." The leader's cold voice came from the shadow.

"Okay, what a Fengyang King!" The emperor almost crushed the cloth strip of the summons.

"My lord, calm down, Dark Seven will definitely be able to search successfully."

"Let the people of Dark Seven retreat, there is no need to search, they can't be found." The emperor rubbed his forehead wearily, "King Fengyang has never missed anything planned."

"The spring drought tax exemption and the disappearance of the salt tax are all written by Fengyang King?" An Jiu was a little skeptical.

"Nine times out of ten, it has nothing to do with my uncle. This time, I want to see how this King Fengyang performs this scene."

The emperor talked to himself, and then said to the leader of Anbu, "Go to contact the branch of the Bai family and tell the head of the family that their opportunity has come. If you want to cooperate with me, you must show sincerity. I think they can start Let's do it."

"We have the defense plan given by Bai Changzai, why not let the people from the dark seven do the tricks?" the leader of the dark department reminded.

"That picture is unnecessary, and Bai's picture may not be true." The emperor said calmly, "I promised her at the beginning, but I just took pity on her motherly heart."

"Remember, no matter what, Du Ziyun must be found." The emperor thought of Du Xianyu who was far away in Nanluo, and confessed.The sixth son of the Du family is not only a messenger of the imperial court, but also the best way for all parties to obtain information.

"My subordinate understands."

Yaohua Palace, inner hall.

"Miss, the news from the Hall of Mental Cultivation says it's..." Before she finished speaking, she was stopped by Liu Niang's eyes, and she hurriedly covered her mouth in shock.

"Sixth Sister, do you know something?" Ten Niang turned her head and saw the obvious worry in her Sixth Sister's eyes, "Is it Nanluo or Fengyang?"

"Sister, the child is important. Other family arrangements." Liu Niang looked away, "Before I entered the palace, the prince promised me that he would keep the sixth brother safe."

"Into the painting, tell me!" Ten Niang sternly said, "What happened to Sixth Brother?"

"Miss, this servant doesn't know anything, it's Xiao Xinzi who secretly told this servant." Ruhua shook his head in a panic.

"What did he say?" Ten Niang asked calmly, she even heard the heartbeat of the child in her womb.

"The Sixth Young Master is near Fengyang City, lost his trace, and his life and death are unknown." Ru Hua lowered his head and said softly.

"Ten Niang!" Hearing Liu Niang's voice, Ru Hua suddenly raised his head, and saw that Ten Niang's face was pale.

"Miss!" She rushed forward and felt for Ten Niang's pulse, which was beating very fast.For a while, she didn't know what to do.

Instead, it was Liu Niang who supported Shi Niang's trembling body in pain, and ordered her to go on in an orderly manner, "Don't panic, let someone boil some hot water quickly. Ruo Min, go to Guanju Palace and tell the queen in person that the young master wants to see your empress. Qiang'er, go and inform Bai Changzai, and tell her that it's time for her to repay her kindness. Xiao Tang, come in, this princess has something to say."

Everyone led the way.Liu Niang suppressed her tension and comforted Shi Niang.

"Sister, I heard from the midwife that before the opening of the cervix, you have to walk around in the ground. Sister will help you into the delivery room."

"Thanks to my sister." Ten Niang endured the pain, and with the support of Liu Niang and Shi Niang, she walked to the delivery room not far away.Wen Po has already been waiting in the room.

"It's not yet time, you go out first." Shi Niang waved to Mrs. Wen.

Wen Po took a look at Liu Niang, "Yes, the servant is outside the room, and the young master has ordered you to call the servant."

"Miss, you..." With tears in his eyes, Ruhua wiped the sweat off the face of Ten Niang who was lying on the bed, "It's all slaves who talk too much, otherwise..."

"Sixth Brother, Fengyang City, Nanluo!" Ten Niang endured the pain and murmured softly, "Sixth Sister, Family, Uncle!" As soon as she grabbed Liu Niang's hand, she always had a bad premonition in her heart, fearing that she might have missed something.

"Sister, don't think too much. The sixth brother is auspicious, and he will be fine." Liu Niang's eyes were red, and she held Shi Niang's hand, "Don't worry. The family will not admit defeat!"

"Brother Six won't be easily defeated. The men of the Du family aren't that useless! Sister, that stable woman?"

"Sister, don't worry, the prince will find a way to get into the palace, and he will play by ear."

Guanju Palace, inner hall.

"Your Majesty, the one from Yaohua Palace seems to have activated it in advance." Madam Hu entered the hall and met the Empress with puzzled eyes, "Ruo Min came to ask for help, saying that Young Master Jia wants to see you."

"According to the days, it's not yet time, is this?" The queen was a little worried, "Is there someone to pass on the emperor?" I will also follow suit.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Xinzi went to report. Our people haven't heard back yet, so we don't know yet." Madam Hu hesitated. The imperial court runs errands."

"Nanluo, Du's family, isn't it Du's mother's family?" The Queen murmured, "I'm afraid that the Hall of Mental Cultivation has leaked some news. Du has always been cautious and will not suddenly give birth prematurely."

"Your Majesty!" Madam Hu said with a serious face, "It's not uncommon for ordinary pregnant women to give birth prematurely."

"People say seven live and eight don't live, but Du Shi gave birth prematurely at eight months, seven, eight! The emperor is probably determined to want his mother and child dead, two lives, no, three lives." The queen's body was unnatural. She trembled a bit, "Mu Yunlan, ah Mu Yunlan, really do it!"

"Your Majesty!" Madam Hu hastily stepped forward and covered the Queen's mouth, "This is Du's life, and I can't blame anyone."

"Fate? Mother, the news about the Hall of Mental Cultivation is most likely sent by the emperor to Mrs. Du on purpose. I never believe in fate, let's go, let's go to Yaohua Palace and watch Mrs. Du give birth!" The queen said, "This palace is down Let's see how our emperor killed his concubine and harmed his son!"

"See the master and empress." The white beauty bent down and saluted.

There was silence outside Yaohua Palace, apart from the queen, only Baimei was there.

"Get up, you are well-informed." The Queen's unintentional words seemed to glimpse the relationship between the two.

The Queen's words surprised Bai Shi, and she hurriedly replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, forgive me, my sister secretly saved the lives of the servant and the mother and daughter, and the servant should repay her. On the other hand, the servant will never dare to do more. of."

"Get up, it's good to know how to repay your kindness." The queen understood, "Besides, it's useless to think too much, what does my sister say?"

"Of course there is some truth to what your mother said. But if you don't think too much in this palace, life will be difficult." The white beauty sighed.

"Sister is a smart person, she will always understand what I say." The queen did not want to say more, "I hope sister Jia is as lucky as you."

"Little sister is blessed with great fortune and great fortune, so she must be safe and sound!"
