Chapter 168: It’s not fair to criticize someone like this

The next day, the sun rose as usual and all officials went to court as usual.

While Qin Zhaoyue was still in bed, the palace was rewarding people for their contributions to the disaster relief effort.

The biggest beneficiaries were the two royal heirs, Qin Zhaoqiong was named Prince Chen, and Qin Jingheng was named Prince Zhao.

Others were rewarded according to their contributions.

At the hour of Si, Qin Zhaoyue was forcibly pulled up because the reward from the palace had arrived.

When she appeared in the main hall with her face bare, she saw the leader at first sight and rushed up to him.

Before Su Quan could react, someone grabbed his collar tightly.

"You old eunuch, you take the money but don't do the job, right?

Well, such a big thing happened yesterday, but all the way from my house to the imperial study, not a single word was mentioned.

If you keep your mouth shut, then don't take the money. Just hand over the ten thousand taels I bribed you with!"

Su Quan's feet were almost off the ground, and he was shaken for a while. He didn't even bother to resist when he heard the words.

What do you mean by ten thousand taels? Isn't it just ten taels?

"Pay me back! Do you believe I'll kill you if you don't pay me back?"

The eunuchs behind him were stunned. They had never encountered such a thing before.

Seeing that Eunuch Su was almost suffocating due to being pulled, Aolao shouted and hurried forward to dissuade him.

"Your Highness, please let go, please let go!"

Sui Mo and others also rushed out and finally managed to pull the person back.

The sound of rapid coughing filled the hall, and everyone was very anxious.

"Eunuch Su Quan, are you okay? Come on, have some tea and Shunshun."

Sui Mo was so anxious.

I knew that the Sixth Prince was brave, but I didn't expect him to get into trouble just one day after returning.

Is Eunuch Su just an ordinary person? He is the most important eunuch beside His Majesty.

Why? Because it was a bond that grew from following him in the Qiandi Residence.

Although the Sixth Prince had some affection for him, it was only a few years ago. The Prince didn't remember much at the time.

When he went out of the palace to announce an imperial decree, every family would be respectful and offer him tea and water money.

Well, her prince was so good. Not only did he grab the man’s collar and shake it hard, he also threatened to take back the tea money.

Ten thousand taels? That's extortion.

Before he could persuade her, Qin Zhaoyue folded his arms and snorted coldly:

"What do you mean by complete? There's nothing missing. Sui Mo, it's unkind of you to point fingers at Eunuch Su Que like this."

Silence, deathly silence.

You can hear a pin drop!

“You…you!”

Su Quan, who had just stopped coughing, stretched out his arm and pointed at Qin Zhaoyue tremblingly. He couldn't say anything and suddenly puckered up.

"Eunuch Su!"

There was a flurry of activity, with people supporting each other, helping them breathe, and handing them water. Suimo even used his true qi to protect his heart meridian.

Su Quan is not young anymore and he was frightened yesterday, so his emotions have been fluctuating greatly. This time he was very angry and it took him a long time to calm down.

Her face was so white and rosy, sometimes white and sometimes red, which was definitely not radiant.

He glared at the man opposite him fiercely, "I...how sooner or later did I take ten thousand taels from you?

Ten taels, just ten taels. I didn’t want to take it, you forced it on me.

Come here, take ten taels and return them to His Highness the Sixth Prince!"

Sui Mo kept stroking his back to help him breathe smoothly, and signaled Mo Yi beside him with his eyes.

Mo Yi quickly stopped the young eunuch from paying the money. What was going on? If he really paid the money, there would be no room for negotiation.

"Eunuch Su, please don't be angry. Our prince was just confused and said something he didn't think should be said."

"She's still angry and confused, and she still has the nerve to be angry and confused!"

Su Quan served in front of the emperor. Although there were undercurrents in recent years, he always looked peaceful.

His Majesty rarely loses his composure, and the last two times were both because of the Sixth Prince.

One time was when her house was recruiting an erotic painter, and the other time was yesterday.

"I am a servant serving before His Majesty. If I don't side with His Majesty, how can I side with you?

And I gave you the news in advance? Ugh! "

“I heard you might be pregnant, so I chose the flattest path and walked slowly.

Do you know what it means to walk slowly? His Majesty is urging me to do this, but I am walking slowly. Am I crazy?

I prepared the sedan chair for you to enter the palace. Why? Because I was worried that your pregnancy was still young and you might get bumped or hurt.

I can afford the sedan chair, but why should I ask someone to spend money to do their best? I have already taken care of the ten taels you gave me!

What? You asking me for money? No!

"Ten thousand taels, how dare you say that, ugh!"

Eunuch Su became more and more excited as he spoke, and was obviously furious. He kept saying "you" and "me". Normally, he would never lose his composure like this.

Pregnancy, what pregnancy?

Except for three people who knew the situation, everyone else was stunned.

Sui Mo quickly explained that he had diagnosed the pulse wrongly and that there was no pregnancy at all.

"Anyway, you old thing don't care..."

"you!"

Qin Zhaoyue and Su Quan sat on either side, with a table between them.

No one looked at each other, but just glanced left and right, and it seemed that no one had any intention of giving in.

Sui Mo's back was covered in cold sweat at this moment, and it seemed that fifty thousand taels was not particularly expensive.

If you can't agree on a price, how about redeeming yourself?

It was fine when she was outside. Few people had status and position comparable to hers, and she also had the Grand Prince to look down on her.

It's just that he's a little lazy and likes to eat and do nothing, nothing serious will happen.

This is Fengjing, full of powerful people.

When a tree falls, it is possible that it will hit a distant relative of some powerful person.

If you offend the first eunuch in front of the emperor today, will you be able to get good things from him in the future?

What is the First Eunuch? As a senior Qingluan Guard who had been retired for less than a day, he knew it all too well.

His Majesty's preferences in life, the preferences of the harem, what he wants at any time, what his mood is at any time...

Who could possibly know all of this as clearly as Su Quan? Who could possibly be more capable of understanding his superiors' intentions than he?

If he harbored hatred in his heart, it would be very easy for him to take revenge on the Sixth Prince.

Whether it is a subtle and silent gesture or just one or two words at a critical moment, it may influence your majesty's decision.

At this moment, Sui Mo felt deeply worried about his future.

"Okay, you guys go out, His Majesty has a message."

After a long time, Su Quan took the initiative to speak.

There was no other way, he had a mission to do, so he could only suppress his emotions.

"Yes!" Both the young eunuch and the Mo group had no choice but to retreat.

Before leaving, Sui Mo pinched Qin Zhaoyue's arm, but unfortunately, he didn't even get a response from her.

I could only leave the hall with a nervous mood and close the door from the outside.

Since Eunuch Su took the initiative to mention that he wanted to make an oral order in private, it means that they should not know about this matter.

Sui Mo immediately arranged for people to guard the surrounding area. She was very familiar with this matter and had done it often when she was in power.

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince, the rewards for the disaster relief team have arrived.

You entered the armory and asked for Sui Mo and the others to be your guards. The rest, on the surface, is some silks, satins, gold, silver, and jade wares that this old slave brought as a reward..."

Qin Zhaoyue waved his hand. The imperial court was short of money at the moment. What valuable things could they reward? It was just a show.

"It's worth your while to come here in person for just this matter. Just tell me what you want to say."
