In the afternoon, there was news that Shi Qiuci was martyred for the first emperor, and his affection was commendable, and he was posthumously named Concubine Jing and buried in the concubine's mausoleum, and the twenty-third elder brother Yinqi was handed over to Concubine Yi to raise.

The next day, the third elder brother Yinzhi wrote a letter, intending to change the word "Yin" in the names of the elder brothers to the word "allow", so as to avoid the emperor's respect and Yinzhen's quasi-performance; On the same day, it was officially decreed to honor Wu Yashi as the queen mother, and on the grounds of poor phoenix body, hundreds of officials were exempted from worship.

Three days later, Sun Mo came to the Li Mansion as promised, but learned that Yilan had returned to his parents' house, and when he was standing at the door thinking about how to pass, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder, which startled him, and he quickly looked back, and found that Yilan was standing behind him with a cold face, and said in surprise: "Didn't Mrs. go back to her parents' house?" How is it here? ”

Yilan glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "If you want to know about Concubine Lu Daoxi, don't ask so much. ”

When Sun Mo heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, "In this way, Madame is willing to cooperate?" ”

Yilan didn't say anything, he acquiesced in Sun Mo's words, Sun Mo was overjoyed and immediately went to the restaurant to charter a quiet private room, and while waiting for the food to be served, he couldn't wait to say: "Who does Concubine Xi have a personal relationship with?" "As long as he asks about it, he will do a great job, and the master will definitely rely on him even more.

Yilan glanced at him, endured the disgust in his heart, and said: "What's the hurry, since I'm here, I'll naturally tell you, but in exchange, should you also show some sincerity, just because you want me to tell you such an important thing just because of your so-called 'glory and wealth', it's too child's play." ”

Sun Mo came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly patted his head and said, "Madam is very right, and I blame me for being anxious." ”

At this time, Xiao Er brought the dish up, he was silent, and after Xiao Er left, he took a shrimp that was cut open from the back and sprinkled with various spices and said: "Madame, try it, this restaurant is a must to make shrimp, I heard that there are 36 kinds of shrimp practices alone, among which this shrimp is the most famous." ”

"Grandpa Sun knows a lot about this place, and it seems that he often comes?" How could Ilan be in the mood to eat at the moment, not to mention that looking at this greasy shrimp made her chest feel nauseous and tight, as if she was going to vomit it.

Seeing that she didn't raise her chopsticks, Sun Mo didn't care, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and pushed them to Yilan's hand, "Madam, look at it, there are a total of twenty silver tickets here, each of which is 1,000 taels, and you can withdraw it at will wherever there is a Baoshun silver number." In addition......" He took out a few more pieces of paper and put them together with the silver ticket and said: "This is the deed of a house in Suzhou and the land deed of 500 acres of fertile land, the price of which is worth about 10,000 taels; If the lady doesn't like it, you can sell it and buy another house. ”

Ordinary people only use two taels of silver in a month, but now Sun Mo took out 30,000 taels at once, which can indeed be said to be a big deal, even if ordinary rich people can't make up this amount even if they spend all their money. However, Yilan was not satisfied, the corners of his mouth curved, and he said with an indifferent smile: "Grandpa Sun, your master is the queen today, will the 30,000 taels of silver be a little less in terms of the status of the queen?" ”

Once she tells the relationship between her sister and Rong Yuan, she is the sinner of the family, not to mention that the queen will inevitably implicate the entire family when dealing with her sister, so she must leave the capital immediately. Thirty thousand taels of silver seems like a lot, but she has no one to rely on for the rest of her life, only these silvers, the more the better.

Sun Mo tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "What does that lady mean?" ”

Yilan stretched out a hand and said coldly: "Fifty thousand taels, remember, I want to cash in silver and silver tickets, and add one more thing." She said this because she was afraid that the Nala clan would use the treasures in the palace as silver taels, although the things in the palace were valuable, they were not easy to sell, and if one did not get it right, she might even be arrested by the government for the crime of stealing and selling the treasures in the palace, and she was not willing to take this risk.

Fifty thousand taels? Why don't you say 500,000 taels, insatiable stinky, sooner or later there will be a time when you look good.

Sun Mo scolded in his heart, but he made an embarrassed expression on his face, "Fifty thousand taels...... Madame is really embarrassed for me, the queen mother for Madame, but took out all the movable cash, that is, this house and field are still placed before. ”

Ilan didn't care about his words, because she knew very well that she was the only opportunity for the queen to bring down her sister, and she was never willing to give up like that; What's more, she is now turning her back on the entire family, and 50,000 taels is by no means too much.

Sun Mo muttered a lot, but he never saw Yilan answer him, knowing that Yilan had made up his mind, he said a little frustratedly: "That's it, Madame will tell me what you asked me to do first, and then I will go into the palace to ask the queen mother." ”

Hearing this, a trace of anger suddenly flashed in Yilan's eyes, and he said word by word: "The matter is very simple, I want Li Yaoguang, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, to be dismissed from office and never come back."

"Master Li?" Sun Mo's eyes widened in surprise, Li Yaoguang is Yilan's husband, shouldn't he beg the queen to let his husband become an official, why is it the other way around?

However, he didn't ask much, Li Yaoguang's life or death had nothing to do with him, the master's explanation was the most important thing, let Yilan wait here at the moment, and he would hurry back to the palace; However, before returning to the palace, he went to the vicinity of Li's house again to inquire about some things.

In the main hall of Kunning Palace, the Nala clan was glaring at Sanfu kneeling in front of him with displeasure, and reprimanded: "A group of useless things, so many people can't even do a small thing. ”

Sanfu kowtowed in fear and said: "The master forgives the sins of the slave and the others have exhausted the method, but the little way is that he refuses to say that he is dead, and the slave and the others really can't." ”

Nala snorted coldly, and said with an unkind gaze: "No matter how tough he is, he is just a person, is he really not afraid of pain or death?" No matter what method you use, in short, you must pry open the mouth of the little road and ask what the palace wants to know."

Sanfu knew that his master was a person who said the same, so he didn't dare to argue anymore, bowed his head and agreed, but his heart was really bitter, and if he couldn't ask again, he was afraid that the master would not spare himself.

At this time, Jade walked in and said respectfully: "Master, Sun Mo has something important to ask to see." ”

The Nala clan was upset and irritable at the moment, and didn't want to see it, but remembering that Sun Mo had gone out of the palace with the money and things she had delivered early this morning to see Niu Hulu Yilan, and he asked to see him at this moment, he must have come for this matter, so he suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Let him come in." ”

Sun Mo walked in with joy, and when he saw Sanfu kneeling on the ground with his head bowed and Nala who was obviously not right, his originally brisk pace suddenly slowed down a lot, and he stepped forward and said carefully: "The slave greets the master." ”

Nala didn't bother to talk to him, and asked directly, "How is Yilan?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Mo suddenly became excited again, raised his eyes and said, "Back to the master's words, Niu Hulu Yilan has changed his mind." ”
