Chapter 170 Is the head used to appear taller?



After sitting down, he smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, there is no need to feel guilty. Shen Yu is probably stimulated by her parents' affairs. It has nothing to do with the Yao Mansion."

Madam Yao sighed, "That's true, but I feel bad that a good person has become like this. I will find a doctor to see Miss Shen regularly."

This is all she can do now.

Originally, I just wanted to use Shen Yu to dispel some rumors, but I didn't expect the rumors to be dispelled and this incident happened again.

When Prince Yueqing heard that Madam Yao would send someone to see Shen Yu regularly, he quickly refused.

"No need, I will take care of it, mother-in-law, don't worry."

He also sees patients regularly, and it is merciful enough to leave Shen Yu with a worthless life.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Your Majesty."

The two exchanged a few more words before Madam Yao left the palace.

After Madam Yao left, Prince Yueqing hurried to change his clothes before asking his subordinates to bring Shen Yu over.

Worried that Shen Yu would go crazy and rush over again, King Yueqing had Shen Yu taken into custody.

Madam Yao handed Shen Yu to him. He can't touch Shen Yu now, but Shen Yu suddenly went crazy. Could it be that he just wanted to save his life?

Thinking of this, King Yueqing stared at Shen Yu with sharp eyes. He wanted to pinch Shen Yu's chin. But Shen Yu's chin was full of saliva, so he gave up the idea.

"Come here, kill her for me."

Shen Yu's heart tightened as he muttered to himself.

Du Shuyan said that as long as she fell into the water in Yao's mansion and pretended to be crazy, Madam Yao would not be able to ignore her. Prince Yueqing respected Madam Yao and naturally would not touch her.

But why is it different from what Du Shuyan said now?

No, Du Shuyan would not bother to lie to a dying person like her.

So the Prince of Yueqing wanted to test whether he was crazy or not?

The subordinate drew his knife and approached Shen Yu. Shen Yu wanted to understand the intention of King Yueqing and was not so nervous anymore.

She kept talking to herself, and from time to time she would smile foolishly at Prince Yueqing, calling him "Daddy".

King Yueqing sneered and signaled his subordinates to take action. Upon hearing this, the subordinates directly placed the knife across Shen Yu's fair neck.

"Dad, why don't you talk to Yu'er?" Shen Yu seemed not to see the knife across his neck, and was about to walk towards King Yueqing while crying.

It seems that he is really crazy.

Prince Yueqing stared at Shen Yu who was moving and shouting. There was no fear in her eyes, and she didn't care that her neck was bleeding.

"Back off."

The subordinate put away his knife and stepped aside.

"Lock her back in the yard where she came from. Let people watch her and don't let her starve to death."

Shen Yu was relieved when she was forced to turn around. She made the right bet. King Yueqing was really testing her.

"My Lord, Shen Yu wants to keep it?"

Prince Yueqing glanced at his subordinates and said, "He's just a madman. Treat him like a dog."

The subordinates wanted to get rid of it just in case, but King Yueqing decided to keep it, so he said that no matter how much he tried, it would be useless.

"Your Majesty, Meng You is here."

Prince Yueqing asked him to bring the person over.

Soon, Meng You was brought over. He bowed respectfully and King Yueqing asked him to sit on the chair next to him.

"Did you gain anything from coming to the palace?"

Meng You nodded. "The Sixth Princess asked me if I had a family and said she would treat me to a meal next time."

Besides, they had a very pleasant conversation, and the Sixth Princess must have some feelings for him.

Prince Yueqing was also happy to hear this. His brother's princesses were all fools who fell into the trap of such a simple trick.

"You are a smart person, and I am happy for you." King Yueqing raised his tea.

Meng You thanked him, but seemed to be hesitant to speak.

After this meal, there was very little silver left of the money given to him by the King of Yueqing. He wanted to speak but found it difficult to do so.

Seeing that he seemed to be hesitant to speak, Prince Yueqing smiled and asked, "Just tell me what you want to say. I'll see if I can help you."

"Your Majesty, I would like to borrow some more silver."

Meng You stood up and spoke in a low voice.

Perhaps feeling embarrassed, he lowered his head slightly.

"Didn't I just give you a lot? How come it's gone?"

Whenever he heard the word "silver", he would think of the time when he invited the Fourth Prince to dinner and was ripped off.

"We invited the Sixth Princess and the Fifth Princess to the restaurant, so that's all."

Meng You added, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Once the Sixth Princess and I are together, I will immediately repay you with the money."

The Prince of Yueqing summoned his subordinates and asked them to give the silver to Meng You. He then said with a smile, "This capital is not like Yueqing. You must win the heart of the Sixth Princess as soon as possible."

Otherwise, even if you ask him for money every day, he won't give you any.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Meng You took the silver and thought that the emperor would arrange a position for him in a couple of days.

The emperor that Meng You mentioned was scolding the officials of the Ministry of Revenue at this time.

Looking at the few people who lowered their heads and remained silent, the emperor became furious.

"I sent you to collect the debt, but where's the debt you collected? You still have the nerve to come back without collecting the debt. Tell me what you do for a living?"

The few of them looked at each other. In previous years, Qi An was the one who collected the debt. Qi An was not afraid of offending people and was willing to do anything. But they were afraid of offending people, so naturally they could not collect the debt.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent, but you can't blame us. We can't even get through the door, let alone collect the debt."

People knew they were there to collect debts and simply refused to open the door. What could they do?

The emperor snorted coldly, "You can't get in, don't you think of a way? Are you trying to look taller than others? Don't you think of using your brains?"

Upon hearing this, several people lowered their heads even more.

"I don't blame you," the emperor took a sip of tea and stuffed it on Eunuch Cao. "If you don't blame you, then do you blame me? Do I pay you salaries to support idle people? If you are useless, you might as well go home and farm, so as not to be an eyesore."

In the imperial study, the only sounds left were the emperor's scolding and the breathing of a few adults.

As they listened to the emperor's scolding, they were all curious about where the little princess had gone.

With the little princess around, the emperor doesn't seem to be in such a bad mood and he also has some concerns.

For example, when holding the little princess, the emperor would be worried about hurting her, so he would definitely not walk up to them and kick them in anger.

But now the emperor is not holding the little princess, and he might come down and kick them soon.

As if hearing the prayers of several people, someone came in to report that the fifth princess had sent the little princess back.

Several adults breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling that their savior had arrived.

When Yu Yiluo was brought in, she sensed something was wrong in the imperial study.

[Hmm, why are these adults acting like quails? Look at their heads, they're almost hanging to the ground.]

[It seems that he must have been scolded by the tyrant for not being able to collect the debt. At this critical moment, someone like Qi An who is not afraid of offending others must be called upon to take action.]

So this is the use that Qi'an that Luo'er mentioned is still useful?

No, if he just tells Qi An to come back, where is his authority?

"Father, I have brought Luo'er back."

The emperor walked down and took Yu Yiluo, and asked the fifth princess to leave.

Then he coughed lightly.

"I don't care what you do. If you can't collect the debt within three days, all of you should go home and farm."

"Your Majesty, in previous years, it was Minister Qi Anqi who collected the debt. Why don't you..."
