Xue Huaian nodded: "Everything has been arranged almost."
Prime Minister Xue breathed a sigh of relief and took out a banknote from his pocket: "That's good! This is a banknote worth 50,000 taels. Take it and use it first.
This fire not only burned down two of the best courtyards, but also burned the 100,000 taels of silver notes I prepared for you.
Bad luck, bad luck."
Before leaving, Xue Huaian added, "The Ministry of Justice has accepted Nangong Sheng's complaint, and His Highness said he would find a way to deal with it."
"Okay, go back quickly, don't let anyone see you and use it as an excuse for desertion."
Renhe Palace.
Afternoon.
Concubine Xue was feeling a little sleepy and was about to take a nap.
Nanny An, the personal attendant, hurried into the inner hall with a letter in her hand: "Your Majesty, His Highness has sent someone to deliver a letter to you."
Concubine Xue sat up straight.
“Bring it here!”
The emperor's matter has reached a critical moment and there can be no mistakes. There must be something I need to do myself.
After reading the letter, Concubine Xue said calmly, "Put on your makeup and change your clothes!"
Nanny An and the palace maids followed instructions and got busy with their work swiftly.
It didn't take long before everything was cleaned up.
Concubine Xue looked at herself in the bronze mirror and stood up with satisfaction.
"Let's go to the imperial study."
A group of people arrived at the imperial study in a grand manner, but were stopped by Eunuch Wei.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has given instructions. I'm busy right now and can't see anyone."
"How dare you, even I dare to stop you? Laifu, you are becoming more and more unruly. Why don't you get out of here?"
Eunuch Wei remained unmoved.
"Your Majesty, this is the Emperor's order. I'm sorry I can't obey!"
"You little dog slave..." Concubine Xue raised her hand to hit him.
"Laifu, let her in."
Emperor Dongling's cold voice came out.
"snort!"
Concubine Xue snorted at Eunuch Wei and stepped into the imperial study.
Emperor Dongling didn't even raise his head.
"Xue Lin, you are so majestic!
Why are you showing off in the Imperial Study instead of staying in your Renhe Palace?
Concubine Xue, who was so arrogant before, now had a flattering smile on her face.
"Your Majesty, I made some cakes, fresh out of the oven, and brought them here especially for you to try."
Emperor Dongling was still busy with his own affairs.
"If you just came to deliver cakes, then the cakes have been delivered and you can leave."
The smile on Concubine Xue's face froze.
"I came to see the Emperor to ask for mercy and to ask the Emperor to send a royal physician to the Prime Minister's residence to heal my father's injuries.
The second is to ask the Emperor to grant Li Yulin a marriage and let Nangong Yunxue become Li Yulin's co-wife."
Emperor Dongling's face turned as dark as ink when he heard this.
"How dare you ask me to send a doctor? Prime Minister Xue and his men were struck by lightning, and you want me to act against the will of heaven? What are you thinking?
As for the matter of arranging a marriage, you have already done something extreme. What do you think of me when you ask me to arrange a marriage?
Do you think you are the knife that extinguishes your conscience? You have a good plan!
I don't want to see you now. Go kneel outside for two hours, then go back to your Renhe Palace and reflect on your actions."
"emperor!"
"You don't have to kneel! From now on, you will copy scriptures in Renhe Palace and don't go out."
Concubine Xue's face turned pale as she left the imperial study.
He gritted his teeth in hatred and wanted to just storm out, but then he thought about his bigger plan and forced himself to kneel down outside the imperial study.
Humph, I'll let you act like an emperor for a few more days.
When the time comes, I will crush you like a stink bug.
After kneeling for an hour, Concubine Xue felt pain in her knees and pretended to faint. She was taken back to Renhe Palace by her own people.
When all the concubines in the harem learned about it, they all went to see the joke under the pretext of visiting.
Concubine Zheng, the mother of the third prince Liu Zhi, approached Concubine Xue with a smile on her face.
"Sister Imperial Concubine, I heard that you fainted outside the Imperial Study. I was extremely worried and came to visit you.
Judging from your complexion, you seem to be recovering well. You should be fine in a while.
If that doesn't work, ask the imperial physician to take your pulse and put your mind at ease."
Concubine Xue was extremely angry, but she managed to maintain her composure on the surface.
"Sister Shufei is so thoughtful. I am fine now. Please go back."
"No, we sisters are usually busy with our own things. It's rare for us to have time to get together."
After saying that, he pushed Concubine De beside him.
Defei was pushed forward and had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"Shufei is right, sister Guifei, let's have a good chat."
Concubine Xue, who was originally fine, was so angry that she held a grudge in her heart.
After finally sending the person away, I finally felt relieved after smashing a set of fine tea sets.
The nanny stepped forward to comfort her: "My lady, there is no need to argue with them. It is not worth getting yourself upset.
The Empress Dowager’s birthday banquet is the day after tomorrow, so Nangong Xue will probably come to the palace.
The Queen is taking care of that disabled man and will definitely not attend the birthday banquet. As the highest-ranking concubine in the harem, don't you have the final say in everything?
When the time comes, when they arrive in your territory, won't you be able to control them?"
Concubine Xue thought for a moment and said, "That's right. I want to see how that village woman is so slippery that she can escape time and time again."
The atmosphere here is smoother.
On the other side, the emperor snorted coldly as soon as Concubine Xue and others left.
"Does she think that just by giving her some color, she can open a dyeing house? I want to see how far they can go to commit suicide."
Eunuch Wei bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I don't think Concubine Xue is truly dizzy."
“She’s fine!
The queen devoted herself to Hao'er and pushed all the affairs of the harem to her.
