Chapter 226 Embezzlement of Public Funds
As soon as Elegy returned to the princess's mansion, he began to think about what name to get by, and he was about to leave in three days, and Elegy had to get "seriously ill" before that.
However, what makes Elegy the most nostalgic now is Luo Yanchuan's reaction, his attitude today is simply different from before, since they met, he has hardly looked at her directly.
No, is he really that angry, Elegy is a little annoyed, why did she think about getting angry with him yesterday Now that she is angry, what should I do Just when she was worried, a knock on the door came in.
Elegy was stunned and said, "Come in." ”
She walked in and said respectfully, "Princess, Your Majesty has sent the imperial doctor over, and she is now waiting in the lobby." ”
"What did the imperial physician send them to do" The elegy was not good, and the fact was just as she had a hunch, the emperor also expected that she would pretend to be sick and decide to go south tour, so he simply sent the imperial doctor to check it.
Elegy went to the lobby, looked at the row of imperial doctors, and his eyelids twitched fiercely, "You guys"
"Princess, the ministers were ordered to come and see a doctor for the princess." The chief physician stood up and said respectfully.
"Lone is not sick, you can go back." Elegy stiffened her face and said displeased.
"This" The chief physician looked at the person behind him in embarrassment, and said: "I hope the princess will forgive me, Your Majesty has an order, if the princess is not sick, let the ministers take care of the princess in the princess's mansion, in case there is an accident in the next few days." ”
"No, the lonely disease can naturally be seen by someone, and you don't need it"
The words are not finished yet. The elegy was interrupted by a group of people, and I saw all the imperial doctors kneeling on the ground and said: "Princess, please don't embarrass the ministers, the ministers are also acting on orders, if you are dissatisfied, please respond directly to Your Majesty." ”
"All the words have been blocked, what can the elegy say, these people are also acting on orders, if she orders them to go back, I am afraid they will not be able to pay the difference. Ultimately. If the emperor's problem is not solved, even if all of these are called back, there will be a new batch of them coming over, and the symptoms will not be cured.
She thought of the emperor's cunning face. I don't get angry. Look at the physicians kneeling on the ground. In an unusually irritable mood, she raised her hand and said, "You all get up." ”
"Thank you." The doctors stood up one after another. The action is staggeringly fast.
Elegy always felt that she had been deceived by these old fellows, and she was depressed, so she ordered her subordinates to settle the doctors in an uninhabited side room, and then went back to her house.
With this group of imperial doctors here, it is impossible for Elegy to let Luo Yanchuan come over, of course, judging from the current situation, whether he will come is a more serious problem, "Why is there no good thing today" Elegy thought depressedly.
Elegy didn't eat dinner because he was angry, so he went to bed early today.
When she went to court the next day, she thought that the emperor would announce her trip to the south with Ning Yuan, but she didn't say anything, as if the matter had been forgotten, and Luo Yanchuan's reaction to her, just like yesterday, was still unexpectedly cold.
After going down, Elegy originally wanted to catch up directly with Luo Yanchuan to ask for clarification, but was blocked by Xiao Yan, the household servant.
Elegy watched Luo Yanchuan walk away, a little anxious, she asked, "Lord Xiao, what are you doing here?"
"Princess, Weichen has something to ask for." Xiao Yan had a sad face.
Seeing this, Elegy knew that Xiao Yan's matter was not simple, and when she looked at Luo Yanchuan again, she had long since disappeared, she sighed lightly and deflated the idea of catching up with Luo Yanchuan.
There were still many courtiers there, and she glanced at the situation around her vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's find another place to talk." ”
The household department supports the elegy party, so the household department is in trouble, and the elegy cannot sit idly by.
In the princess's mansion, Elegy and Xiao Yan went directly to the study.
"There's something to say now." Seeing Xiao Yan's weak face, Elegy knew that what he was about to say was not good.
Xiao Yan didn't speak, but glanced at Si Dui behind Elegy with fear, Elegy knew what he was thinking, and said lightly: "It's okay, Si Dui is his own person." ”
Xiao Yan nodded, then knelt directly on the ground and said, "Princess, this time you must save the old minister." ”
Elegy frowned and said, "Let's get down to business." ”
Xiao Yan cried with a sad face and said, "The princess knows that His Majesty is going to send someone to tour the south."
The Southern Tour Elegy's eyes flashed, how could she not know that the emperor wished that she would go south with Ning Yuan, but she didn't plan to go, judging from the current situation, Xiao Yan didn't know who would go, and the elegy didn't explain, so she played a dumb riddle with Xiao Yan and said: "The matter of the Southern Tour, Lone naturally knows, but what does this matter have to do with you?"
"Well, actually, it's about the canal."
"What's wrong with the canal, can you speak in one breath," Elegy said unhappily, can you not speak in half, people who listen like this are very tired, okay
"Yes, in order to dig this canal, Your Majesty has allocated a sum of public funds to go down, and it is the minister's nephew Du Shui Jian Xiao who manages this public fund, and he is also confused for a while, so he is"
"So what's the matter" Elegy could almost guess what Xiao Yan was going to say next, she directly threw over an official document on the table, and said sharply: "Don't tell me that he embezzled public funds"
Xiao Yan suddenly threw himself to the ground and shouted: "Princess, help, my uncompetitive nephew will only commit a mortal crime when he is confused, and please ask the princess to save him, if His Majesty orders to send someone to tour the south, there will be no turnaround." ”
"Now that I know that there is today, why did I embezzle public funds because of my own selfish desires before" Elegy is angry, what she can't tolerate the most is these corrupt people in the court, and the irony is that this person is still her party.
"Ask the princess to save Weichen, if you let Your Majesty know about this, the minister's black gauze hat will not be guaranteed." Xiao Yan said, and kowtowed to the elegy a few more times.
Elegy didn't even want to look at him, "I knew today, why bother in the first place"
"Princess, Weichen has also done a lot of things for the princess over the years, and I hope that the princess can see that the minister has no credit and hard work over the years, save the minister This time, this time the prince specifically proposed this matter, but I am afraid that he also knows that Xiao Yu embezzled public funds, and if he wants to say that he has caught the handle, it will not be good for the princess."
"I'll just say why Luo Jia picked the matter of the southern tour at this time, and it was really for this matter." Elegy looked at Xiao Yan and said solemnly: "Who else knows about this matter except you"
"At present, no one knows about this except the minister and the princess."
Elegy's eyes flashed, "Didn't you say Luo Jia knew?"
"No, no, no, the prince should only be suspicious of this matter at present, and there is no definite evidence."
"But once the people of the southern tour are decided, and they see the progress of the canal digging, won't they go through the gangs?" said the elegy angrily.
Xiao Yan cried with a sad face, and began to shout again: "The princess must save Weichen." ”
"Okay, okay, a bunch of guys who don't have enough to do and more than to lose." Elegy waved his hand impatiently, "This matter is known alone, you go down first." ”
Xiao Yan raised his head, "Then, princess, this matter should be"
"Don't you see that Lone is trying to figure out a way" Elegy said angrily, "Lone doesn't want to see you now, get out." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Xiao Yan nodded again and again and retreated.
Seeing Xiao Yan leaving, Elegy sighed heavily, she rubbed her eyebrows with a sad face.
Seeing this, Si Du stepped forward to massage the temples of the elegy, and said with relief: "Princess, don't worry too much about this matter, with King Fulu here, he will definitely solve it for you." ”
Elegy waved his hand, "I can't go to him for everything, besides," she smiled wryly, "he's still angry with me, and I don't have the face to go to him to solve these problems for me." ”
When Si Duan heard this, he said worriedly: "Princess, could it be that King Fulu is also today."
Elegy nodded, "He still refuses to say a word to me, not even to look at me, probably really him off." ”
Things one after another, the emperor ordered her to tour the south, and sent the imperial doctor to the princess's mansion to check the gates, cutting off her way of pretending to be sick, and today Xiao Yan broke the news of the embezzlement of public funds by the water supervisor, plus Luo Jia has been eyeing each other, and Elegy is overwhelmed to deal with these things, and he can't spend all his thoughts on Luo Yanchuan, and he doesn't have time to think about his cold attitude.
It can only be attributed to the fact that he is still angry.
Si Duan didn't think so, in her opinion, Luo Yanchuan was not the kind of man with a small amount of energy, and there must be something strange hidden in it.
In fact, Si Duan's guess was not wrong, Luo Yanchuan would be so cold to the elegy, and there was indeed a secret.
It is one thing for Luo Yanchuan to have a close relationship with Ning Yuanxing, but Ping Ning's role in it is also indispensable.
Fulu Palace
Ping Ning carried the food box, came to the palace again, and took Luo Yanchuan's study with a light car, and saw Luo Yanchuan looking down and thinking about something, she knocked on the door and reminded him that she was coming, Luo Yanchuan looked up, with a faint smile on his face, and said, "Why are you here?"
"I heard that you haven't eaten anything in the past two days, so I brought you something to eat." Ping Ning said, pointing to the food box he was holding.
Luo Yanchuan's eyes fell on the food box, and he silently calculated in his heart how many times this was the first time, and said: "Pingning, don't bring food over in the future, it's not that there are no cooks in my palace." ”
"Eh, are you disgusted that the things I make are not delicious" Ping Ning's eyes suddenly appeared mist, as if once Luo Yanchuan admitted, he would cry the next moment.
Luo Yanchuan was surprised, "Why do you think so, I just think it's too troublesome for you to send me food every day." ”
"Hee-hee, don't bother, I'm planning to expand the store, in addition to buying roast duck, I also operate some staple foods, and now I'm researching new dishes, just one is close to trying."
"Oh, so I'm just a taster," Luo Yanchuan laughed, "I knew it wasn't that good." ”
"Hee-hee, aren't you disappointed" Ping Ning smirked.
"I'm not too disappointed." Luo Yanchuan's expression was faint, and he felt a little unmotivated. To be continued
