Qian Yuanhe and another little chamberlain stood in the room, and when he saw that something was wrong inside, the little chamberlain asked him whether he wanted to go in with his eyes, but Qian Yuanhe vetoed it without hesitation.

He could see the scene clearly just now, and sure enough, it didn't happen to the master, and the master's concern was so obvious? How can this allow a third person to interject? He motioned for the little chamberlain to follow him, and retreated with a slight movement, almost entering invisible mode.

"Qian Yuanhe, go get the scald cream for her." The emperor sat back on the chair of the dragon master and commanded.

Just an opportunity to evade, Qian Yuanhe answered, and quickly took the little chamberlain away, regardless of whether the small ointment bottle was really carried by two people.

The emperor is a master who cherishes words like gold, and since he shows this sympathetic meaning, it is obvious that he does not intend to punish him, and Qiwen does not wait for him to explain more, Xie En got up and packed up the tray and was about to withdraw. But suddenly I heard him say coldly: "I let you go? ”

She had no choice but to come back timidly and wait with her head bowed. This is the first time they have spoken directly since she came to be his palace maid.

The emperor looked at her coldly, and his heart was extremely unhappy, but he couldn't think of how to speak for a while. I was going to take advantage of the tea bowl to attack and drive her away, but who knew that she would sacrifice herself to save her by such a trick, and it caused him to be careless and chaotic, what else did he say?

It was she who was the first to break the silence, looked at his sleeve and said cautiously: "It's all the slave maid who is stupid, even the master's sleeve is dirty, the slave and maid are waiting for you to change it, take it to clean." ”

Only then did he realize that the peacock thread on the sleeve was stained with a small pool of tea stains.

This gold-earthed silk peacock feather dragon robe was the most valuable of all his outer robes. The rest of the regular clothes are only symmetrically embroidered with the dragon and the twelve chapters on the shoulders and the front and back, but this body is embroidered with golden dragons and auspicious clouds, and the materials and workmanship are extremely luxurious.

Now that he found the new raft, a sneer appeared on his lips: "What wash?" You should be the coarse cloth of your house. Haven't you heard that dragon robes are never cleaned? ”

Decorations such as peacock silk embroidery and gold silk rice beads can't be wet at all, Qiwen vaguely heard about this, but she didn't think about it, and was immediately shocked: "That...... Is that a waste of it? ”

The sarcasm on his face was even greater: "What do you think? If you miss it, you will lose more than 2,000 taels of silver. Now that the treasury is empty, and there is no relief money for the drought in Guanzhong, do you know how many lives can be saved by this silver? ”

"How so?" Qiwen blurted out, looking at the stained sleeve, and it was really heartbroken.

The emperor was stunned, why didn't she seem to be in the panic of being punished by her master, but was full of distress for ruining such an expensive good thing?

As a poor student who handles the largest amount of money in his daily life is only a few thousand yuan, Qiwen's first reaction was of course distress when she learned that she had destroyed a super cultural relic of high value, and then under the pressure of the emperor's cold gaze, she knelt down again and asked for guilt: "The slave is guilty, and the master is willing to punish him." ”

The emperor has always been frugal, so naturally he would not throw away this dress just for a little tea stain, all for the sake of finding her stubble. This time he got his wish, he leisurely took the wolf and dipped it in cinnabar, and said indifferently: "You can't afford to be on this errand, so you will step down from your post on the same day and go to the Ten Princes' Mansion to accompany the eldest princess." ”

It was expected that she would cry and beg for help like last time, and then just ask her to go out with a cold face, anyway, he didn't have to worry about Zhuojin's face at this time, he felt that there was no hindrance.

Unexpectedly, this time she was only silent for a moment, and actually kowtowed: "It was the slave who disappointed the master, so I will say goodbye to the master." ”

The emperor was quite surprised, and Zhu Bi just wrote a skim on the ticket and then stopped. Looking up at her, there was some grief between his low eyebrows, but it was far less strict than he imagined.

Could it be that he is self-inflicted, but in fact, people are not so fond of him? The emperor's heart was inexplicably a little uncomfortable for a moment.

"I'm leaving, the slave has something in my heart, and I want to ask the master." She stood up, her expression and tone were calm and unwavering, and she couldn't tell what the situation was, "I don't know if the accounts of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion last month have been sorted out, and how many silver taels have been confiscated by the adults in charge of this matter?" ”

When she asked about this, the emperor was full of surprise, and he didn't hide it, and replied calmly: "After the full calculation, a total of 280,000 taels of silver are tattooed." ”

She seemed to be surprised, and then she seemed to have expected it, and nodded lightly: "The silver money of the Hou Mansion, just the cash in the account, there are more than 327,600 taels, which is only one-twelfth of the total. There were at least 40,000 taels of gold and more than 500,000 taels of silver, and there were countless shops in the grange, which were converted into silver, and the total number was not less than two million taels. ”

"Two million?" The emperor blurted out a rhetorical question, really surprised. It is Qiu Yu who is in charge of the Feng Mansion and takes people, and it is not Jinyiwei's business to settle accounts. He also expected that this kind of errand would definitely be scraped by the handling officials with a layer of oil and water, but he never expected that it would not be oil and water that would be scraped down, but eight times out of ten. Nine!

The annual tax revenue of the whole country does not exceed four million taels, and more than half of the amount can be produced without a copy of the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, Zhao Shunde can really make money, and the appetite of those who handle it is really big enough, and they can swallow a huge sum of silver and two whales. He also felt that the money was not enough, but after asking twice, several people in charge said that there was no leakage, and he couldn't care if he wanted to.

Qiwen showed a wry smile and continued: "Those adults must have thought that the people of the Zhao family have become prisoners, and none of the people who can talk to the emperor know the details, and no one expected that there was a slave and maid who slipped through the net to come to the front of the palace, and the person who knew the family's accounts best was a slave and maid except for the father. If the emperor also convicted them of robbing their homes in one fell swoop, the silver they got would not mention disaster relief and food, I am afraid that even the expenses of the next year will be enough. When the slave and maid returned today, they made a detailed account of it, lest they deny it. ”

After speaking calmly, she blessed him again: "The slave is incompetent and does not serve the master well, so this move can be regarded as a reward for the emperor's rescue." The master and servant are all here, the emperor takes care, and the slave and maid are gone. As he spoke, he was about to quit.

"Wait." The emperor had to stop her, he also suspected that he wanted to do a few more corrupt officials to recover the silver, but the officials had no way to start protecting each other, and when her account was listed, he didn't know how much silver he could collect back, which was indeed a big trouble for him. It is really unreasonable to take such a big benefit from her and then drive her away.

She stood in the hall in response, with no joy or anger on her face, no surprise, and a clear understanding of it. How could she handle him so accurately?

Since she was sent to Longxi Pavilion, she felt that she was playing tricks on right and wrong, and today's new accounts and old accounts are superimposed, which makes the emperor believe that she has been calculated by her.

has always been a king, the most taboo is to be deceived and calculated, and he is also a conceited and shrewd person, how can he be willing to be tricked by a little woman like this?

Even if she showed a little joy after her success, she was not so angry!

The emperor fixed his eyes on her, and the anger in his heart gradually gathered, and Sen Ran said: "You are a good means, even I can be put on the army by you, no wonder I can make Zhuo Jin do so much to protect you to come to the front of the palace." I'm so good here, it's worth your painstaking efforts, and I don't leave! ”

These words pierced the face and pierced people's hearts.

Qiwen was stunned, as if she had been beaten with a stick, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a while.

How did the words suddenly sound so ugly? She had long wanted to sue him about the silver, and she dared to use such a small trick in front of him, wasn't it because she was messed up when she saw him concerned just now? I thought that he would be helpless, and he would be able to pass by just getting off the donkey, but he really wanted to drive her away so much, and the joke-like trick was regarded by him as a shameless means.

A sore pain spread silently in her heart, it turned out that the situation really met her worst guess, in his eyes, she was really a slut who was bent on climbing the bed!

She raised her eyes and looked directly at the emperor, in disbelief. The favorability displayed by the system, and the concern at that moment, could it be that they are all fake, and they are all her own passions?

"So, you really want me to go so much?" She smiled bitterly, her voice a little hoarse.

Seeing that her face had changed, the emperor looked at him with red eyes, his heart trembled slightly, and he also realized that he had gone too far, but since he had decided to let her go, why should he be soft-hearted? He simply turned his heart sideways and said indifferently: "That's natural, don't you understand until today?" ”

Qiwen closed her eyes and extinguished the last star of hope in her heart.

I regretted it for a while, I really shouldn't have come, I went around in a circle and returned to the original point, and it was still the same result, just because I had more than a month of life, so why bother to be humiliated by myself?

Her demeanor and tone changed in an instant, and she sneered: "You are right, the slave is indeed a lowly woman who will not leave, I will admit it, what else do you want me to confess, you might as well say it in one go, I will confess one by one, no two words!" ”

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, is this still the same careful, docile and silent her? How could her own words make her seem to be discouraged, and she didn't even want to give up her life?

Qiwen was filled with anger, grievances, and humiliation, and she didn't want to endure it anymore, anyway, it was a dead end, dying a few days early and dying a few days later, whether she was killed by the system or executed by him, how much difference is there? simply talk about it, and you won't die so badly!

"The emperor's eyes are like torches, it seems that you have seen through my little tricks. That's right, I just encouraged the eldest princess to transfer to the royal front on the grounds that I love you; A while ago, I was a little low, cautious, I didn't say a word to you, I didn't hand you a single eye, all in order to paralyze you, waiting for you to take it lightly, it's not a good thing to abide by your duty. ”

The more she spoke, the more angry she became, the more ruthless she became, and her tender face was full of dazzling sneer, "I really want to ask you what you think, with your identity as the Ninety-Five, in order to drive away a minion, and come to act, what kind of joke is about spilling tea, don't you think it's too much, don't you think it's a ****?" ”

"Shut up!" The emperor couldn't bear it anymore and got up. Even in the most neglected days in the past, no one had ever confronted him like this, how dare she do this!

She knelt down in response and smiled bitterly: "The so-called monarch wants to die and the minister has to die, I am just a slave, or the daughter of a criminal minister, and I am a slave or punished into the sect department for this generation, even the ordinary palace maids with good nationality are not as good as me, and I dare to threaten your army and the current saint?" If you say this to others, will anyone believe it? ”

The emperor's eyes flickered with coldness, and he shouted: "I want you to stop, do you hear!" ”

She didn't stop, and her tone was even more arrogant: "My father violated the law of the country, and I have already had an insight, those silver are ill-gotten gains, neither my father's, nor mine, the emperor has confiscated it, it is reasonable and legal, do I still think that you should feel guilty about me for this, and give me preferential treatment?" Am I so stupid as to think that this is going to be used against you? I'm just ......"

It's just that he is always embarrassed by the silver, and wants to do his part to help him share a little, but now, why do you need to explain to him to sympathize with him?

She bit her lower lip tremblingly, and endured the explanation that came to her mouth, "If you want me to leave, you don't have to speak in person, just ask your subordinates to send me away, don't say drive me away, it is my life, and it is also a matter of your words." Why waste all that thought on me?! The two of us, who is bothering and who is doing this more! ”
