Chapter 15: Secret Fight

Despite many precautions, this thunderstorm still caused a lot of damage to the imperial city, and on the tenth day after the tsunami, the haze covering the Xuanyuan Imperial City completely dissipated.

After the disaster, the evacuated people rushed back to rebuild their homes, and after hearing that they were able to avoid the catastrophe safely this time it was all thanks to Mu Bingyue, and the hostility that they had towards Mu Bingyue because of this war began to gradually subside like this flood.

The embankment that cost a huge amount of money to build, but it was vulnerable in the face of this flood, although there was no public scolding, Chen Shou still resigned from his official position in shame, and then the Ministry of Works was returned to his hometown by Hu Youli, and the rest of the relevant officials were also punished severely.

Although this time it was an unprecedented natural disaster, it can't be blamed on these officials, but Xuanyuan Yi is still extremely dissatisfied with the performance of these Ministry of Industry officials, Mu Bingyue's words that day gave him a deeper understanding of agricultural profits, for Xuanyuan's future prosperity and the subsequent construction of the canal, he is ready to carry out a major blood exchange, in the past, the appointment and dismissal of officials below the fourth level were all handled by the Ministry of Officials, but this time he decided to personally select himself.

Originally, Xuanyuan Yi was away from the country for a few days, and there were a lot of things waiting for him to choose in the country, plus he had to take care of Mu Bingyue, he was even more busy until late at night every day, so he had never stepped into the harem since he returned to the palace.

Today, I learned that Mu Bingyue's illness began to recover, but she was the happiest in the palace, and she was called to her early in the morning, waiting for the emperor to greet her.

Of course, the concubines knew the reason, so they all rushed to the meeting happily, and the Queen Mother Dugu sat on the top, looked at the concubines below and said: "The emperor has every opportunity, and he has been going to the harem less recently, and you should be more considerate as concubines." ”

"Yes." The concubines are well-behaved.

The performance of the concubines was very satisfactory to the Empress Dowager Dugu, and she straightened the Luanfeng Lingyun hairpin on her head, "Recently, the treasury has been tight, and a lot of disaster relief silver cannot be distributed. Her gaze swept over Jin Wuli and Murong Ying intentionally or unintentionally.

One is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and the other is the daughter of a big family, this time Xuanyuan was damaged in many ways, and they had to contribute more as imperial concubines.

Jin Wuli got up and took the lead in expressing his position, "Empress Dowager, the concubine's father came early in the morning, saying that he had raised a total of 300,000 taels of disaster relief silver with local merchants, and he was now rushing to the imperial city." ”

Empress Dowager Dugu was immediately satisfied when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Concubine Shang has a heart." ”

Jin Wuli replied gently: "It is the glory of the concubine's family to be able to relieve the country's worries. ”

"Hmm." Queen Mother Dugu smiled and asked her to sit down,

When Jin Wuli sat back, Murong Ying stood up, she was the second concubine in the palace who was not from an official eunuch family, which shows that the strength behind her should not be underestimated, if it is true, the status of her family is far above that of Concubine Shang's father, but although the Murong family has a wide lineage, most of the real estate is placed, and if you want to fold the silver money, you will naturally have to be a few steps behind Jin Wuli, so this time she did not take the lead, "Queen Mother, a letter from my father, more than 3,000 houses have been swept out for the needs of the imperial court." ”

Although it is less than Concubine Shang's, after all, real estate is also urgently needed now, and being able to vacate these houses in such a short period of time is enough to show that the Murong family is very attentive, and Empress Dowager Dugu's smile has not diminished, "Concubine Ying also has a heart." ”

These two numbers really scared the rest of the concubines, their fathers were all paid official salaries, if they took out 10,000 taels, they were afraid that the good name would not be left, and the people would be imprisoned.

At this time, the eldest grandson Jinglan stood up, "My father and Lord Hu of the Ministry of Officials raised hundreds of boxes of clothes from the adjacent ones on the left and right, and yesterday I ordered the family to send them to the affected people. ”

"I have a heart." Empress Dowager Dugu looked at her with a smile, and then looked at Concubine Dai with a smile. Concubine Dai has never liked to do face-saving things, so she didn't name her.

With the head of the virtuous concubine, the rest of the people were all relieved and expressed their attitudes.

Some donated materials, some donated food, although the amount was not much, but the Empress Dowager Dugu was still very happy, everyone was talking and laughing, and they heard that Xuanyuan Yi's royal car had arrived, and the concubines were busy standing up to take over.

"The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." Xuanyuan Yi was dressed in a black imperial dress and walked in with a radiant look.

Mu Bingyue's body was good, he was happy, and the Empress Dowager Dugu knew where her son came from after a glance, and there was a concubine next to her, so she naturally couldn't lose face to him like she did a few days ago, "Hmm." She replied lightly.

"Say hello to the emperor." When the concubines saw Xuanyuan Yi get up, they all saluted.

"Flat." Xuanyuan Yi didn't look at them, and called out directly, "The ministers still have some political affairs to discuss with the ministers......

As soon as he saw that his concubines were there, he knew what his queen mother was paying attention to.

The concubines were instantly disappointed, Xuanyuan Yi returned to the palace, and he hadn't slept with anyone, and they hadn't even seen each other once.

The Empress Dowager Dugu was very unhappy when she heard this, and without waiting for him to finish speaking, she directly intercepted it, "The mourning family and the concubines are discussing the matter of raising food funds and helping the victims, in the end, it is a woman's family, and the emperor should also give him an idea." ”

"The queen mother is in charge, there are still many government affairs in the previous dynasty, and the sons and daughters retired first." Xuanyuan Yi finished speaking in a hurry, and without waiting for the Empress Dowager Dugu's reaction, he hurriedly left after saluting.

The concubines were stunned, Xuanyuan Yi was amorous, and he had never lived in the concubine's for more than two days, but in the past three years, he has changed his whole person, and he has entered the harem very few times, especially after returning from the secret investigation of Chiyan that year, he is even more reluctant to step into the harem, thinking that after years of time, the emperor will not be as obsessed with the woman as he was then, but now they know that they are far from seeing their heads.

How deep is the hate, love ...... It's as deep as it gets......

When Xuanyuan Yi first heard the news of Mu Bingyue's entry into the palace, he had never been crazy before, and it still shocked them when he thought about it!

Not to mention that there is also a concubine in front of him as an example, so although the concubines are dissatisfied in their hearts, they still dare not show objections.

Xuanyuan Yi's departure completely angered the Empress Dowager Dugu, she knew that her son had fallen into it, and his attitude made her understand that if she didn't want him to end up with the same result as the Red Flame Emperor, the only way to do it was to let Mu Bingyue disappear from him.

Sensing the killing intent in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Dugu, the eldest grandson Jinglan secretly frowned, and the others also seemed to be aware, and after the silent exchange signal, they all retreated, and only the Empress Dowager Dugu and Yun Gu were left in the hall.

After everyone left, Yun Gu handed her the tea, and only after she used it did she say: "Queen Mother, forgive the slave and maid for talking too much, that woman is also a sick seedling, why bother to make the mother and son dislike her because of her." ”

Empress Dowager Dugu didn't understand that if something happened to that woman, the emperor would definitely be the first to suspect her, but seeing that her son was so obsessed, she was really afraid that he would follow the old path of the Red Flame Emperor.

The woman was sick and weak, but didn't she also cause the heavens to perish in a month? She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to wait for that day, if she didn't get rid of her, she was afraid that the day she would die, she wouldn't dare to close her eyes.

Looking at her expression, Yun Gu knew that she still hadn't changed her mind, so she took the teacup and put it back, "It would be different if this matter came from someone else's hands." ”

Empress Dowager Dugu shook her head, "Which one survives in this harem is a fuel-efficient lamp?" How can you be stupid to pave the way for others because of a little jealousy? ”

Her own son knows best that if that woman is a bad person, even if there is no trace, he will never give up, and how can those women's methods hide from him, and the smart ones will naturally not come forward to touch this mold.

"What if this is from the Red Flame?" Yun Gu gently pinched the shoulders of the Empress Dowager Dugu.

The phoenix's eyes lit up instantly.

"The girl should go out for a walk when she is well." The new palace maid said while helping Mu Bingyue dress.

Ye Ling didn't say anything on the side, Xuanyuan Yi had ordered her to take Mu Bingyue out for a walk when she left in the morning, and to observe what she was interested in.

Seeing that Ye Ling didn't speak, Mu Bingyue knew that this must have been instructed by Xuanyuan Yi, although she would not feel cold from time to time, but her body was still lazy, and when she thought that she would meet Xuanyuan Yi's concubines when she went out, she was even more reluctant to go out, "Go find the original." With that, the man walked back to the couch.

Neither of them dared to object, and Zizhu, the palace maid in fragrant blue clothes, asked, "What does the girl want to see?" ”

Although this is only Xuanyuanyi's dormitory, there are still many books.

"The customs and customs, the biographies of the characters are on the line." Mu Bingyue wanted to know more about what was going on outside, but she didn't know what order these palace maids had gotten, so as soon as she heard her ask, she immediately changed the topic.

"The imperial doctor said that the girl needs to calm her mind, and the slave maid should go and find some poetry books for the girl." Zizhu finished talking to himself and immediately walked out.

Mu Bingyue frowned dissatisfied, it was just something Chen said, which also limited her.

He's really not your average overbearing.

Ye Ling seemed to see her unhappiness, and said: "The emperor's poems are all out of print, and there are no other places. ”

After Ye Ling's injuries were healed, he was called over by Xuanyuan Yi, because Mu Bingyue really needed manpower here, although there were twelve generals guarding outside, but Mu Bingyue's strange serious illness still made Xuanyuan Yi tighten his heart, for fear that his concubines would do something crooked.

Ye Ling's attitude towards Mu Bingyue was no longer as indifferent as at the beginning, since she heard about Mu Bingyue's victory over the ministers in the Imperial Palace, she could no longer be hostile to her, in fact, she was already in awe of her in her heart.
