After returning from the gambling house, Song Chen's face turned completely white, and he was full of panic and didn't know what to do.

If you hadn't seen it before, no one would have seen that this was once a gambling house, and the huge place had been burned to the ground, and most of the things in it, including the silver tickets, had been reduced to ashes.

In particular, the treasury where the silver tickets are stored inside the gambling house is not even slag left.

The burning of the gambling house in the east of the city is a huge loss for Li Zhishen, and the other party is not in the capital now, and when he comes back, he finds that he is not optimistic about the gambling house, and he doesn't know how to punish him!

"My lord......" The subordinate on the side spoke, he originally planned to say that if there was nothing to do, he would retreat first.

It's just that before the words reached his mouth and could be fully spoken, he saw that Song Chen had already come back to his senses, as if holding the last glimmer of hope: "Go check!" Find out who is so bold as to dare to take action against King Shen's industry! Find out who is behind the scenes as soon as possible! ”

"Yes." The subordinate was frightened by his angry appearance, and after answering the call, he hurried back, walking quickly.

Song Chen, who was still sitting in the chair, clenched his fists, now all the losses of the gambling house are irreparable, the only thing he can do is to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, which can be regarded as giving Li Zhishen an explanation, at least let him punish himself lightly.

I was thinking about it in my heart, but I saw a little guy walking in from outside, and reported: "My lord, there is a eunuch outside, who claims to be the lady concubine, and says that he has something to bring to the adult." ”

Lady?

Song Chen's expression froze, the news spread quickly, but in half a day, the concubines in the harem knew about it.

He knew that it would be no good for Concubine Shu to send someone to find him, but he didn't dare not see it, so he hurriedly said, "Go and invite him in." ”

The little servant stepped back, and a short time later he walked in with a man in a green eunuch's suit.

Song Chen hurriedly beckoned someone to sit down, and personally poured him tea, and then asked in a good voice: "I don't know if Concubine Shuniang has anything to say to let her father-in-law bring to the lower officials?" ”

The eunuch took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then spoke slowly: "Niangniang said, now that the third prince is not in the capital, he entrusted all the properties to Lord Song to take care of, but you let the Chengdong gambling house be burned to ashes under your nose, and you failed the expectations of the third prince, it is really a waste!" ”

The eunuch's words were very ugly, but most of them came from the mouth of the concubine.

Yes, Concubine Shu specially sent someone over to reprimand Song Chen.

She knew that her son relied on Song Chen a lot, and she thought that her son would leave Beijing for a short time, and there should be no problem with this person taking care of her, but she never thought that such a big thing would happen in just three days!

She knew very well whether the Chengdong Gambling House was important, so she was very angry when she got the news, and even if someone was sent.

"The lesson of Concubine Shu is that this matter is indeed negligent on the part of the lower officials." Being scolded like this by a eunuch, the words he said were so ugly, even though he knew that the person in front of him was just a messenger, he still felt humiliated in his heart.

Although he is not as dignified as those palace nobles, he is also an official of the imperial court, and now Concubine Shu has sent a eunuch to reprimand him, isn't this a clear humiliation!

It's just that no matter how humiliated he is, he can't do anything, after all, the person behind the eunuch now is a concubine, and he is even more cautious.

"Niangniang also said," The eunuch looked at Song Chen expressionlessly, regardless of whether the other party was ugly or not, and dutifully continued to speak: "If Lord Song doesn't even have the ability to deal with things, he shouldn't stay by the prince's side, she won't punish this time, everything will wait for the prince to come back and punish, and ...... during this period."

The eunuch opened his mouth in a series of words, paused at this point, and then continued: "If there is any problem with the prince's estate, let alone an official position, you don't need to ask for this head on your head anymore." "New World

"Yes!" Listening to the other party's obviously threatening words, Song Chen was humiliated and flustered, and nodded: "Please inform the princess Niangniang, Song Chen will definitely be optimistic about the prince's industry in the future, and will never let similar problems arise again." ”

"Don't worry, my lord, the slave will definitely bring the words." The eunuch nodded, then suddenly made a move, slapped Song Chen in the face, and then said,

"Okay, Niangniang's instructions have been completed, so let's go back to resume my life first, Lord Song can do it himself."

"Father-in-law, go slowly!" Looking at the back of the eunuch slowly leaving, Song Chen almost crushed all his white teeth before he resisted the urge to kill the other party.

Today's humiliation, he will return it in the future!

……

On the other side, inside the queen's bedroom.

The queen sat on the phoenix chair, turned her head to look at the woman sitting at the bottom, and asked, "This palace may not have seen Miss Mu for a long time, how is it lately?" ”

"If you go back to your mother, the folk girl is very good." Mu Yunqian bowed slightly towards her respectfully, and said, "Thank you Niangniang for your concern." ”

"There is no need to be so restrained in front of the palace," Mu Yunqian is a polite person, although she is the daughter of a merchant, she has an extraordinary temperament, which is deeply liked by the queen.

She smiled and asked again, "What have you been doing in Fuzhong recently?" ”

"Most of them are helping my father with the ledgers." Mu Yunqian spoke softly and replied, "Father is getting older, don't think about helping more people." ”

Mu Yunqian sat on the chair under the queen's head, lowering her eyes slightly, she was checking the accounts in the mansion, but she was suddenly brought into the palace by the eunuch sent by the queen mother, saying that she wanted to chat with her about family life, she was indeed a little surprised in her heart.

After all, although she and the queen have a good relationship on the surface, the actual friendship is not very deep, and the other party called herself, she really feels that there is another purpose.

But even then, she can't be how.

Thinking in her heart, she chatted with the queen for a few more words, and then heard the other party say lightly: "It's noon now, and the palace has ordered people to go to the meal, and you can stay and go back after lunch, so as not to be told that the palace is not good at hospitality." ”

"Yes." Mu Yunqian first nodded in agreement, and then said, "Niangniang is too worried, who dares to say that about you?" ”

The queen smiled and said nothing.

The two had lunch together, and then Mu Yunqian stayed for more than half an hour before getting up and leaving.

Subsequently, the news that she had been in the queen's bedroom for most of the day soon spread throughout the palace.

The queen asked her to reminisce this time, it was indeed selfish, and while looking for someone to relieve her boredom, she also wanted to make Concubine Shu unhappy.

She has been against Concubine Shu for many years, and she also knows that the other party wants to accept Mu Yunqian as the side concubine of King Shen, but unfortunately Mu Yunqian has no such intention.

Now I have a good relationship with her, and I am slapping Concubine Shu in the face.
