Chapter 44: The Assassins of the People

Leng Yue was startled when she saw the decoration plan of Huiyue Palace, and threw the picture at the feet of the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and said angrily: "If you are so luxurious, isn't it to empty the treasury?" Now that the four countries are eyeing us, how will they pay their salaries in the event of a war? I took it out and burned it. ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Works looked at Leng Yue in surprise, completely forgetting his identity, just looking straight like that, or Nian Jiuling coughed lightly on the side before coming back to his senses, bowed down and replied: "Niangniang is angry, this picture is completely drawn according to the will of the queen." ”

Leng Yue smiled coldly and said: "Sure enough, it's her, she just wants me to become a charming king and a demon concubine who squanders wantonly, queen, where are you putting the people in this way?" Competing for favor is competing for favor, you shouldn't trample on the hearts of the people like this, this palace is not as good as you want. Master Li, the decoration should be done according to the drawing, but all the pure gold things will be changed to gold-plated, and as for the jade tree, Qiongchi will be changed to real flowers and pools, so it will not cost much silver. ”

After hearing this, Lord Li became excited, and knelt down to Leng Yue and said, "Xie Niangniang is sympathetic to the people's feelings. ”

Leng Yue was taken aback by him, although he had been in the palace for a while, but it was awkward to see someone older than him kneeling for him, so he got up and left his seat, helped Master Li with his own hands, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are a good official, you know that you are sympathetic to the suffering of the people, and the dynasty needs officials like you." Hongu has a request, I wonder if anyone can grant it? ”

Master Li was helped up by Leng Yue's own hands, his heart was excited, his black beard trembled, and he said firmly: "Niangniang, please speak, the minister will definitely do his best, and then die." ”

Leng Yue smiled: "It's not that serious, I just want the adults to ask the treasury for the silver price set by the queen, and then secretly transfer it back to the treasury, if the queen finds out in the future, you will push it on the palace, so that you are not afraid that the queen will embarrass you." ”

Lord Li looked at Leng Yue in surprise, he didn't think that she would plan for herself, where is this request? It's just about saving his life. So he was excited to kneel down, and Leng Yue hurriedly pulled him up: "Don't kneel, I feel uncomfortable when I look at being kneeled, so you can be considerate of me." "In a hurry, I forgot to say it.

Master Li nodded with a smile, his eyes tingled, he said goodbye to Leng Yue, and when he left the Huiyue Palace, he couldn't hold back anymore, and wiped his eyes with his sleeve. He has been an official for 20 years, and he is used to all kinds of large-scale decorations, but he has never met such a concubine, not only is he not greedy for money, but he can also sympathize with the suffering of the people. How is it possible, the queen is afraid that she will lose this game. Master Li's heart, which had been suppressed for a day, finally became relaxed, and his steps became more and more brisk......

Huiyue Palace is changing every day, becoming more and more brilliant, and the silver in the treasury is getting less and less on the books, and finally it is time to run out of money......

However, the queen could not make the decision on taxation, and she had just gone to the imperial study on this day and asked the emperor to increase taxes, and the emperor also agreed and issued an urgent decree. Just before the blue sky was still in the sky, in a blink of an eye, it was cloudy, lightning and thunder, the queen could only stay in Qifeng Palace, and wanted to wait for the rain to finish before going to Huiyue Palace to publicize it.

In the Huiyue Palace, Leng Yue looked at the sky with a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, and Nian Jiuling put a cloak on her when she saw the wind.

"What are you thinking? How bad you laugh. Nian Jiuling said jokingly.

Leng Yue looked back at Nian Jiuling, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she said excitedly: "Hurry up and prepare rain gear, there will be a big incident on the queen's side soon." ”

Nian Jiuling was stunned for a moment, didn't ask in detail, just told the palace maid to prepare the Huang Luo umbrella.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the screams of earth-shattering ghosts and gods to be heard in Qifeng Palace, not just one person, but many people......

Leng Yue smiled slightly, and said to Nian Jiuling: "Let's go, let's see the excitement." ”

Nian Jiuling smiled dotingly, and walked towards Qifeng Palace with Leng Yue. As soon as I entered the door, I saw the palace maids and eunuchs running out of the queen's bedroom one by one as if they had seen a ghost. The queen was also in the courtyard, and the rain soaked her luxurious clothes, and her hair stuck to her face, and her face was full of horror and embarrassment.

Leng Yue said to the eunuch behind her: "Come on, help the queen back to the house." ”

The eunuch took the order and helped the queen to go into the house, but the queen struggled in fear, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak at all, Leng Yuerou smiled and said: "Sister, don't get rainy, you'll get sick." Why don't you get the queen inside? ”

Leng Yue spoke, and the two eunuchs didn't dare to slack off, so they put the queen back into the house one left and one right, but the queen screamed and fainted. The two eunuchs who were holding the queen also trembled with their legs after seeing the scene in the room, and they almost wanted to fall.

Nian Jiuling opened his eyes wide and looked at the wall, it was a painting that they had painted, it was completely current at this time, and the painting would still move and be lifelike. The evil ghost was grinning, Bai Yuhe and Long Lan'er looked at everyone resentfully, their arms still moving, as if they were about to break through the wall......

Leng Yue thought he was frightened when she saw Nian Jiuling's appearance, and pinched his palm with her hand and gave him a smile. Nian Jiuling smiled knowingly, he already knew that this was the gift she said she was going to give to the queen.

There was a commotion outside, the emperor came, Leng Yue hurriedly pretended to be frightened, and shone beside the queen and shivered.

The emperor was also taken aback by the painting on the wall, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and the timid eunuch didn't say a word, rolled his eyes and fell directly to the ground.

"Your Majesty, Qifeng Palace is haunted, and the queen may not be able to live here for the time being." Nian Jiuling received Leng Yue's eyes and said to the emperor.

The emperor deserved to be the true dragon emperor, he quickly regained his composure and helped Leng Yue up, and Leng Yue took advantage of the situation to lie in his arms.

"Concubine Ai, can you let the queen stay for a few days?" The emperor's tone was flat, could he have guessed something?

"Your Majesty, the concubines are willing." Leng Yue replied lightly, she didn't want the queen to live in her courtyard, but since the emperor said it, she couldn't help but agree.

Afterwards, the queen's Qifeng Palace was sealed, because the painting on the wall would come out as long as it was a rainy day, even if the wall skin was scraped off, it would be useless, unless the wall was demolished, so the Qifeng Palace also became a place for decoration.

A month later, all the people were cursing, and there was a demon concubine in the palace, who spent extravagantly, and increased taxes regardless of the lives of the people in order to repair the palace.

When Leng Yue learned about it, she laughed and didn't take any action, but moved out of the main hall and came to a small room in the side hall. Nian Jiuling didn't ask, anyway, where she went, he followed.

This night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and on the night of the best killing, Huiyue Palace ushered in a agile figure, he seemed to be unfamiliar with the palace, groped his way into Leng Yue's residence, and when he saw a person lying on the bed, he walked over and opened the curtain......

Sky...... What did he see? I saw a sleeping fairy...... The face is plain without fat powder, the black hair is scattered on the pillow like silk, and a few locks are on the shoulders. Curled and long eyelashes, sleeping quietly, the man in black was stunned for a long time, and finally reached out to smooth it because of the frowning of the person in his sleep, and his hand just touched the white skin like congealed cream, and the person woke up. The man in black was a little panicked, and for a moment he forgot what he was here for.

"Who are you?" The voice was cold, without a hint of fear.

"I ...... Tell me where that concubine lives? The man in black finally remembered what he had done.

"Oh, Concubine Yue? I am, what do you want me to do? Leng Yue sat up lazily, her hair slid to her chest playfully, and the man in black shrank his eyes and then pulled out his sword and pointed it at Leng Yue's throat......
