Faced with the second prince's questioning, Hua Mo was entangled in whether he should say it or not.

Seeing this, Gonggong Li smiled:

"It seems that Hua Mo should have something to say to the second prince for his own selfishness, so the miscellaneous family will avoid it first."

After Gonggong Li finished speaking, he stood up, glanced at Shen Shang, who was still sitting there, and frowned:

"Does Lord Shen have the habit of listening to other people's private affairs?"

Shen Shang came back to his senses at this time, and quickly stood up, and said embarrassedly:

"Don't dare, I was just a little distracted."

"You don't have to shy away from it."

The second prince looked at Hua Yu's anxious look, and had a guess in his heart, so he hurriedly stopped:

"Why, there are no outsiders here, just talk about it. As a person close to his father, Gonggong Li can naturally hear it, and as for Lord Shen, I believe he will definitely keep his mouth shut. ”

Seeing this, Hua Mo opened his mouth with a look of embarrassment:

"Second prince, this, it was the mother who asked me to come to you."

"What's wrong with the concubine? Is there something going on? ”

When the second prince heard this, his expression instantly became much more nervous.

Hua Mo shook his head, glanced at Gonggong Li, and saw that he was staring at him intently, bit his lip, and whispered:

"It's not a big deal, it's just that Niangniang heard that you were going to donate 50,000 taels, and she was worried that you wouldn't have enough silver, so I asked me to send you silver."

"What kind of silver? I've scraped together enough here, and where does my mother get the money to help me? ”

Hua Mo glanced at Gonggong Li again, knowing that today's matter could not be hidden, so he had to continue to whisper:

"Niangniang really doesn't have much silver, and the private money can only make up 10,000 taels for you, as for the rest, Niangniang thought about selling some things, and made up another 20,000 taels."

After Hua finished speaking, he took out the silver ticket from his sleeve:

"There are a total of 30,000 taels here, I don't know if it's enough, Niangniang said that if it's not enough, she will find a way."

"Why, I can't take these seals, you can take them back, you tell the concubine, I have made up enough money, so she doesn't have to worry."

The second prince didn't take the money, and he didn't know how his mother saved the money little by little, even if he didn't care about it, it would be impossible for him to use his mother's money.

"Second prince, you can accept it, the right should be the mother's mind."

"Flowers, I won't accept this silver, I have other things here, please go back."

The second prince waved his hand, obviously not wanting to talk to the same flower anymore.

Seeing this, Gonggong Li had a little more thought on his face, and looked at the flowers carefully, but he didn't see anything unusual.

And Shen Shang laughed at the second prince in his heart, how could there be such a fool in this world, boasting about Haikou, and forcing his mother to such a situation.

It's a shame that the second prince is an idle prince and doesn't have the heart to fight for the throne, otherwise even if he has that thought, no one will necessarily follow him, it's too stupid.

When he returned to the palace, Gonggong Li told the emperor everything in the second prince's mansion, and the emperor listened to this, his brows tightened,

"Are they really so poor?"

"Back to the emperor, the old slave didn't look like she was lying, and she obviously didn't know where the old slave was when she came, so after seeing the old slave, she was still very scruples."

Gonggong Li thought about the look of the flower at that time, it definitely didn't look like acting, and then said:

"And all the valuable things in the Second Prince's Mansion have been sold, and I also sent someone to the pawn shop to check, and it is indeed true."

"Speaking of which, I haven't been to Liang Zhaoyi for a long time, let's go, go around."

When Liang Zhaoyi heard Hua Mao's words, she was anxious about what to do, when she heard that the emperor was coming.

hurriedly walked out, saw the emperor, and knelt down directly:

"The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine didn't do it intentionally, but the concubine knew that Bin'er couldn't take out so much silver for a while, so she wanted to help Bin'er."

"What are you doing here? How could I have blamed? ”

The emperor gently lifted Liang Zhaoyi,

"It's just that I haven't seen you dance in a long time."

"The concubine is willing to dance for the emperor."

Liang Zhaoyi saw that the emperor did not mean to blame, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, when the emperor went to bed with Liang Zhaoyi, Lin Guifei, who was gloating, gritted her teeth angrily, and even scolded secretly:

"Liang Leyun, a fox, is really clever in his means."

After the second prince heard the news in the mansion, he smiled coldly, it seems that his move is right.

The next day, the emperor's reward followed, saying that the second prince had done a great deed, and this trip was worthy of commendation, of course, Liang Zhaoyi naturally had a reward.

The eldest prince, who was originally going to watch the joke, gritted his teeth after hearing this, this time, he was careless.

was still scolding the second prince for being a stupid Shen Shang in his heart, and when he heard the news of the emperor's reward, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at himself, but when he thought of the situation of the second prince, he shook his head again, being a prince, when it came to such a point, it was really difficult for him.

The queen saw that the emperor was worried about the refugees every day, and voluntarily donated 10,000 taels, which attracted the emperor's praise, and the concubines of the palaces also followed suit.

Suddenly, the refugees settled in.

A month of rainy days has finally stopped.

The refugees outside the capital were stable, but in Stone Town, which was far away from the capital, after the flood, a plague broke out.

Despite strong measures taken by local officials, the spread of the epidemic has not been stopped.

After receiving the news, the emperor immediately sent officials and imperial doctors to go, but one by one, they were all trapped there.

The plague is menacing and unstoppable.

The emperor has sent out several waves of people, but in the end there is no news.

After several early dynasties, looking at the emperor's gloomy face, everyone dared not come out, and after learning that the colleagues sent out were infected with the plague, they were frightened one by one, lest the emperor send them again.

"Prime Minister Lin."

For a long time, I didn't hear anyone answer, and the emperor was furious:

"What about Prime Minister Lin?"

"Back to the emperor, Prime Minister Lin Cheng took sick leave, saying that he was unwell."

"Heh, feeling unwell at this time? Since he is not feeling well, he simply cares at home for a long time. ”

The emperor smiled coldly, don't think that he didn't know what Prime Minister Lin Cheng had in mind, looking at the courtiers standing below, the emperor was angry again:

'Write down the names of all the officials who did not come to the court today. ’

After hearing this, everyone secretly congratulated themselves on coming to the court today.

The emperor glanced around, looked at Shangguan Feng standing there with his back straight, and suddenly had an idea in his heart:

"Feng'er, you look at some officials, one by one they are sick, and the situation in Stone Town is quite grim, such a difficult task, I am really not at ease when I hand it over to others, so this time I sent you and Imperial Doctor Wen to go together, I hope you can return triumphantly."
