Xiao Muheng looked gloomy, and asked Liu Anyao: "What did your father-in-law say?"
When Liu Xiang was mentioned, Liu Anyao froze slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Once something happened to you, I went back to the Liu Mansion overnight, and wanted father to intercede for you, but my father said that you should take good care of your injuries, make money with peace of mind, and wait for the opportunity." Liu Anyao frowned.
Father is their only hope now, if even him dies, Xiao Muheng will never recover.
The more Liu Anyao thought about it, the more angry she became, and she didn't sleep well all night.
She thought Xiao Muheng must be even more panicked when he heard what his father said.
But when Liu Anyao looked at Xiao Muheng, he saw his expression was cold, not at all flustered as she thought, but lost in thought.
"What do you think?"
Xiao Muheng: "I know what Xiangye means."
Liu Anyao was taken aback for a moment: "What does my father mean?"
How could she not know.
Xiao Muheng took a look at Liu Anyao, thought for a while, and felt that the husband and wife were one. Since Xiangye hadn't completely given up on him, Liu Anyao was a bridge between him and Liu Xiang, and she should also let her know what to do in the future.
"The emperor punished me not to be an official in the court, but I had no chance during his reign. If the second prince becomes emperor, it will be time for me to return to officialdom, so my father-in-law asked me to wait for the opportunity. The second prince wants to fight for the crown prince. , besides connections and power, the most indispensable thing is money."
When Liu Anyao heard that the third prince ascended the throne, Xiao Muheng was able to return to the officialdom, her eyes could not help but brighten, and then she said worriedly: "But the emperor fined 10 million taels of silver. Although it is not to the point of going bankrupt and sleeping on the streets, the Xiao family is also very energetic." hurt."
No longer as rich as before.
Xiao Muheng's heart is also bleeding, but if he doesn't obey the emperor's will, he can only wait to lose his head.
Those who harmed him simply set him up for him to die. Either he lost his life or cut out his heart.
Power, money, all gone now.
"If the money is gone, you can earn it again." Xiao Muheng almost vomited blood when he said this.
This is easy to say, but only he knows how difficult it is to do.
But now he can only count on silver to turn him around.
If he can help the second prince become emperor, he will be a great hero, but if he can't even provide money, I believe he will be reduced to useless soon.
How could Xiao Muheng live a life of mediocrity?
Liu Anyao nodded in an incomprehensible way, her irritable mood improved a little bit.
She still has hope to stand up.
"Then Mrs., you should take care of your injuries first."
Xiao Muheng endured the pain coming from behind, and said: "The emperor ordered me to take out 10 million taels within three days. You should work harder today. Check the account books to see how much cash you can get together."
Liu Anyao nodded with an ugly face: "What about the ones that are not enough?"
"Call the shopkeepers of each shop, I will discuss with them, first withdraw the working money in the shop, and then sell a few shops."
Don't tell him who is trying to harm him, he will definitely beat people up to relieve their hatred.
The majestic palace is rolling up and down, and the golden glazed tiles are shining brightly in the sun.
The princes first went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay their respects to the Queen Mother in the morning, and then had lunch with their respective mothers and concubines, and the palace banquet in the evening.
The second prince brought the second concubine and two side concubines, the third prince brought the main concubine and Chen Rujin, the fifth prince brought a side concubine, and the seventh prince and Chu Jinyan were alone.
The sixth princess had just given birth to a child and was still in confinement, so she was unable to enter the palace, and the son-in-law was waiting for the palace banquet at night.
After sitting in the Compassionate Ning Palace for a while, everyone dispersed.
Because the birth mother passed away early and there was no concubine to take care of him, the Seventh Prince went to Jingren Palace after leaving the Palace of Compassion and Ning. He was about to invite Chu Jin to accompany him for a banquet, but when he left the Palace of Compassion and Peace, he was served at the Palace of Qianqing The little **** was called away.
Needless to say, Emperor Chengde must have ordered someone to come to the Compassionate Ning Palace to wait.
Looking at Chu Jinyan's disappearing figure, Chu Yici pursed his lips jealously, and said sourly: "Father still really favors the eighth younger brother, and we can see him at night, but he even called him away alone."
The only response to him was the swishing cold wind.
Chu Yici gritted his teeth and glared at his eunuch: "Are you dead?"
The corner of the eunuch's mouth twitched slightly, and said: "What Your Highness said is absolutely true."
Chu Yici: "..."
Such a perfunctory eunuch, what should I do if I really want to replace him?
He took a few deep breaths, and went towards Jingren Palace with a dark face, and the little **** hurriedly followed.
In Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chengde was standing in front of the desk, with a scroll of paintings spread on the table, looking at it with a smile on his face.
"My sons and ministers see father and emperor." Chu Jinyan stood in the hall, saluted respectfully, and said.
Qingjun's eyebrows and eyes are as cold as the cold wind outside the palace.
Emperor Cheng De raised him to look at him, and waved to him: "Come, take a look at this picture of rivers and mountains from the previous dynasty, tsk tsk, it's the real one."
The earth dragon is burning in the hall, which is as warm as spring.
Chu Jinyan untied the fox fur on his body, and a court lady immediately stepped forward to take it, and then he stepped forward.
"Where did it come from?"
"The old fox Liu Sheng sent it."
Chu Jinyan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Plead for his son-in-law?"
"That's not enough." Emperor Cheng De shook his head: "But sending someone to send this painting to the palace to show it well, that's almost what it means."
Chu Jinyan closed his eyes, and a gleam flashed in his eyes: "So for a painting, you plan to forgive Xiao Muheng lightly?"
Emperor Cheng De sneered: "I have a good word, how can I go back on my word? I don't want to lose face. Anyway, he didn't say it, so I don't see it. I want to see if he dares to replace it in front of me. That turtle begs for mercy."
So in the end it was just because of face?
"Are you happy to get 10 million taels?" Chu Jinyan asked suddenly.
"Cough cough..." Emperor Cheng De choked, raised his head and glared at his son resentfully: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Chu Jinyan glanced at Emperor Chengde indifferently, and then saluted without sincerity: "My son begs the emperor for his crimes."
Emperor Cheng De was dumbfounded: "...you, what did you do?"
"The fire in the Guozijian was put down by Sheng Xian."
Emperor Cheng De's mind went blank for a moment, and he stared at Chu Jinyan in a daze.
He just heard something.
The fire was set by his precious son.
Emperor Cheng De was unable to touch his forehead, and his face was full of lovelessness.
Master Xiandi, don't you think that my life is too comfortable, that's why you sent such a little **** to torture me physically and mentally?
Emperor Cheng De pointed at Chu Jinyan with trembling fingers, so angry that he could hardly speak.
"You... you, you, you, you are crazy. You dare to set fire to the Imperial College for Xiao Muheng. Are you not afraid of unmanageable consequences?"
"No, I picked the most central school, and if it is destroyed, it can be rebuilt. It not only slapped Liu Xiang in the face, but also made Liu Xiang's son-in-law unable to set foot in the court anymore, and let Xiao Muheng empty the Xiao family's wealth to pay for it. The treasury has also increased the income of the father's private treasury, not to mention the previous points, and finally the money went into his own pocket, the father is not happy?"
He is not acting recklessly, nor is he reckless.
