Chapter 388: Embezzling Military Salaries
At dusk, a golden border surrounded the top of the imperial city, emitting a dazzling yellow light.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair with a teacup in his right hand, bowed his head and drank the dragon well at just the right temperature.
At this moment, the chief eunuch walked in quickly from outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, saying something in the emperor's ear, and almost immediately the emperor's expression changed.
"What are you doing in a daze, then don't hurry up and bring people in." The emperor raised his head and said to the chief eunuch with a gleam of joy in his eyes.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The chief eunuch took two steps back and saluted the emperor, then turned and walked outside.
An Ruqing and Mo Nanchen were waiting outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, although An Ruqing didn't want to see the emperor in her heart, especially after knowing the emperor's thoughts.
But the situation is not right now, she must not do what she wants, she must deal with it well.
Everyone understands the emperor's thoughts, and these things have happened at this moment, and she must not deal with them according to her own temperament.
"If you're tired, take a break." Mo Nanchen's gaze fell on her, and his expression was very worried.
Hearing his voice, An Ruqing's original gaze at the sky was retracted, and the corners of Mo Nanchen's mouth were raised and he shook his head, "I'm fine, the chief manager has already gone in to tell the emperor, it shouldn't be long." ”
She walked over and shook Mo Nanchen's hand, his hand was very large and could directly wrap her hand, giving An Ruqing a strong sense of security.
"Lord, princess, please inside."
As soon as the words fell, the figure of the chief eunuch appeared in front of the two, and when he saw the scene of the two of them interlocking his fingers, his strange expression flashed.
An Ruqing's eyes changed slightly, and she noticed that the eyes of the chief eunuch did not fall on Mo Nanchen's body, and there was a strange expression that quickly flashed.
"There's Mr. Lao." An Ruqing coped politely, and Mo Nanchen immediately took An Ruqing inside.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked straight at the entrance, a pair of cloudy eyes glanced at An Ruqing without a trace.
"Attend the Emperor."
The two walked up to the emperor and saluted, waiting for the emperor's order.
"No courtesy." The emperor pretended to be calm and looked at the two, his eyes swept over An Ruqing from time to time, and he happened to see the gauze on her wrist at this moment.
"An Ruqing, why is your wrist wrapped in gauze, but where is it injured?" The emperor immediately looked slightly stunned.
An Ruqing didn't speak, Mo Nanchen beside him stood up straight, and directly faced the emperor: "This time to face the saint, it is about the third prince, and the injury on Qing'er's wrist is also related to this matter." ”
"Oh? This matter is related to the three princes, what happened? ”
Hearing what Mo Nanchen said, the emperor's black eyes widened a little, and his mood was a little complicated, and he didn't know how An Ruqing's injury could be related to Mo Nanqi.
An Ruqing was neither humble nor arrogant, she raised her voice: "The three princes embezzled military salaries in the frontier, and the people's daughters were injured when they went to the frontier to look for evidence. ”
She didn't immediately take out the evidence she had collected, in order to see what the emperor's attitude was, whether he wanted to protect Na Menanqi.
As soon as these words came out, the emperor's expression became serious.
"The third prince is sometimes a little confused, embezzling military salaries is not a trivial matter, I will deal with this matter after I find out the truth, but your injuries should be healed by the imperial doctor, don't leave any injuries and illnesses."
The emperor simply took it over, and did not pay attention to An Ruqing's proposal, but paid more attention to the place where she was injured.
An Ruqing rolled her eyes in her heart, she didn't have to worry about having a medical space at all, but this emperor didn't want to abolish Mo Nanqi at all.
She took out a stack of evidence from the sleeve of her injured wrist and handed it to the chief eunuch.
"This is the relevant evidence collected by the people's daughter in the frontier, and I also ask the emperor to check it, and the abolition of the three princes is urgent." An Ruqing said again, with an extremely tough attitude.
The emperor took the evidence from the chief eunuch, and read the text on it cursoryly, and every word confirmed the matter of the three princes' embezzlement of military salaries.
Embezzling military salaries is not a trivial matter, whether it is a high-ranking nobleman or a relative of the emperor, it must be dealt with in accordance with the law, and this person is still his favorite son, and the emperor has a headache for a while.
An Ruqing's sleeves had not completely fallen because of the action just now, and the gauze wrapped not only the wrist, but even spread to the arm.
The emperor looked at her wound and felt a little distressed, but he was reluctant to dispose of Mo Nanqi.
He was silent for a long time, then put the evidence on the table in front of him, and said to An Ruqing: "You go and heal your injuries first, as for the matter of the three princes, send someone to arrest the three princes first, and then I will deal with it." ”
An Ruqing and Mo Nanchen heard what the emperor meant, and they were a little helpless about the emperor's decision.
Mo Nanqi has already embezzled military salaries, if he doesn't stop abolishing his identity now, I don't know what Mo Nanqi will do in the future.
An Ruqing didn't want to say anything to the emperor anymore, so she also saluted and said goodbye.
The two of them came out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and An Ruqing said to Mo Nanchen: "If you don't deal with it again, it is impossible to predict what will happen later." ”
"That's all we can do."
Mo Nanchen knew that An Ruqing was holding grievances for him and the people of the world, and the emperor favored Mo Nanqi and didn't want to abolish it, and they could see it from the beginning.
If the emperor really wanted to capture Mo Nanqi, he would send troops directly, so that he would not just talk about it verbally like now.
"Let's go home first." Anyway, the two of them can finally go home together at this time.
Mo Nanchen stepped forward and took An Ruqing's hand, and the two walked outside, got into the carriage and returned to the prince's mansion.
In another place outside the capital, the matter of Mo Nanchen and An Ruqing's face in the imperial city has reached the ears of Mo Nanqi.
"What, it's serious!" Mo Nanqi said with a serious expression as he looked at the eyeliner in front of him.
The eyeliner standing in front of him nodded, "The servants saw them enter the Heart Cultivation Hall with their own eyes to explain to the emperor that Your Highness had embezzled military salaries, and I also wanted the emperor to abolish you." ”
Mo Nanqi gritted his teeth, looked a little worried, and said to him: "This prince knows, you go out first, and continue to keep an eye on them for this prince." ”
"Yes!" Eyeliner walked out of the house.
After hearing the footsteps of people walking away, Mo Nanqi said: "What should I do now, my father already knows about the prince's embezzlement of military salaries." ”
The henchmen beside him looked at Mo Nanqi and persuaded: "Your Highness don't be nervous first, although they told the emperor about the matter, the emperor didn't make any moves." ”
"Even if there is no action now, it doesn't mean that there will be no in the future, and I don't know how many handles my father has in his hands, what do you think about the rebellion."
Mo Nanqi was a little scared in his heart, if his father stopped facing him and knew more and more things about him, he was afraid that he would directly bring people to hunt him down.
Anyway, he couldn't get used to that old thing for a long time, so it was better to do it earlier, kill the old thing, and ascend to the throne of God himself.
