Chapter 45: You are clearly playing dumb with me



When Duke Ping heard about his sister, he became even more worried, but this year is indeed colder than previous years.

"Your Majesty, I have recently obtained a lot of high-quality charcoal and furs to keep warm. I will have them delivered to the palace later."

When the old emperor heard this, he said, "Charcoal and fur, who are you making fun of?"

Don't I have these things in my palace?

This old man is clearly pretending to be confused in front of me!

However, Duke Ping was indeed worried about his sister. He had specially sent people to transport those charcoals, which were very useful.

And the furs to keep him warm were bought from hunting by his old friends on the battlefield, and no amount of gold or silver could buy them.

The old emperor was holding back his anger, but he had to suppress it on the surface. Helplessly, he could only hint, "Thank you, Mr. Su, is the warm clothing that Mr. Su mentioned just now really that useful?"

Unexpectedly, when Duke Ping heard this, he smiled and said, "It works!"

"I felt hot a lot during the journey today, and I almost broke out in a sweat!"

But it was also because he was not afraid of the cold. People who practiced martial arts were healthier than ordinary people.

After hearing this, the old emperor became even more excited. "This sounds like a really good thing. If I could have one, I would definitely give it to the queen..."

As he said this, he sighed, "What a pity, Su Qing doesn't have this intention."

His eyes flickered as he stared at the person in front of him. "Do you understand? If you understand, give me one quickly."

These days, none of these ministers have any persuasion. I have to remind them personally about such things. They don't know how to guess how to please their superiors at all!

Seeing the old emperor sigh, Duke Ping said a few words to comfort him, "Yuanwailang is just a simple-minded person, she doesn't think too much, your majesty, don't worry, I'll give her a few words later, I think she will be more considerate in the future."

Although he said so, he thought from the bottom of his heart that this girl was good and well-intentioned, but in front of the old emperor, he always had to say a few words to deal with it.

The old emperor thought his hint was obvious enough: "......"

"Xie Qing, you have two of them. I don't think you'll need the other one on a normal day, right?"

Duke Ping smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the official said that we should change one every few days, and two pieces are just enough."

Seeing that the old emperor's face became visibly ugly, Duke Pingguo wondered what was wrong with his majesty today. He kept talking to him so much nonsense, and now he became unhappy while talking. Could it be that he was bored?

The eunuchs at the side coughed twice, wanting to go over and say something to Duke Ping, "His Majesty wants you to take out the warm clothes and give him one!"

The old emperor was almost mad at this moment. Su Juan was simple-minded and didn't think too much. If he gave her a few words of advice, maybe she would be more considerate in the future?

I think the most brainless and heartless person is you, an old bastard. Your brain is only used for fighting, nothing else is left!

If I hadn't promoted you with all my heart, would you have been able to survive in the officialdom with your brain? !

Seeing that Duke Ping was still confused, the old emperor was so angry that he threw memorials one after another at Duke Ping, "Old man! I asked you to lend me one of those warm clothes!"

Duke Ping dodged the memorial easily with a quick move, and suddenly realized that His Majesty wanted warm clothes. Oh, why didn't you say so earlier!

For things like this, just speak up, why beat around the bush?

After figuring out the old emperor's thoughts, Duke Ping smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I will go back to the palace and get it right away."

"Go now!"

The old emperor was so angry that his face turned red. When did he have to go through so much trouble to get what he wanted?

After Duke Ping left, the eunuch tried to hold back his laughter, but because of the old emperor's presence, he dared not laugh out loud.

The old emperor was so angry that his beard almost exploded. "Tell me, is Xie Yu'an trying to irritate me on purpose?"

The eunuch soothed him, "Your Majesty, this Duke has always been simple-minded and doesn't think much. You know this over the years. If you don't make it clear, how can he understand the meaning of this statement?"

The old emperor's temper was slightly suppressed, "You are right."

"If Xie Yu'an is the kind of person who would curry favor with his superiors, I would not feel comfortable handing the tiger talisman to him."

The eunuch smiled and said, "In the final analysis, His Majesty trusts the Duke, so he uses him so highly."

The old emperor snorted twice, "I have always been a person who I doubt, I don't employ him, and I don't doubt him when I employ him."

...

When Duke Ping came out, Earl Sheng Ping was still waiting outside. The cold wind blew and he stamped his feet in fear.

But he couldn't leave. If he left, someone else would take the treasure first. Even if they had been friends for decades, Duke Ping would never give him the piece of clothing he was wearing.

Seeing Sheng Pingbo, Duke Pingguo was surprised, "Why are you still here?"

Sheng Pingbo was cold and didn't bother to make friends with him at this moment. "Old Xie, don't you have two warm clothes? Give me one. If I get any treasure later, I will definitely send it to you first!"

When Duke Ping heard this, his eyes lit up. There were many good things in the mansion of Marquis Shengping, but he was usually very stingy. When people occasionally went to his mansion, he would not let anyone touch anything.

but……

He sighed, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that you are a step too slow."

Sheng Pingbo: “?”

I've been standing here waiting for so long, and yet someone has managed to get there first!

"Old Xie, I won't embarrass you. Just tell me who it is and I'll go and ask him for it!"

Duke Ping coughed twice and said, "I will not hide it from you. The person I am asking for forgiveness from is your Majesty."

As he spoke, he moved to the side to give Sheng Pingbo a way to ask for the money.

Sheng Pingbo: "..."

This is stuff that has gone into the old emperor's pocket, and you still expect him to spit it out?

That's just a daydream.

Su Juan had been busy with official duties for a whole day under the guidance of Minister Mo. Just as she had taken a break, she heard the palace servants passing by talking.

"Have you heard that Duke Ping and Minister Wu have both come to your majesty's door?

"Why did you make trouble for His Majesty?

"I just saw from afar that Master Xie and Miss Wu also entered the palace together."

It can be seen that this matter is really a big deal.

"It's not just Miss Wu who entered the palace. Even the son and daughter of Minister Wu entered the palace together. It seems that they are going to

[This is clearly a case of the majority bullying the minority! ]

Su Juan hurriedly packed up. The Wu family members were all good at speaking, and there was no way a young boy like Xie Xun could defeat them. In the end, Duke Pingguo would be wronged.

Minister Mo looked at her and asked, "Want to support Duke Ping?"

Su Juan waved her hand and said, "I was there when Wu Ziyu and Xie Xun had a conflict. I will go and say a few fair words for them. I will be back soon."

Minister Mo couldn't help but sigh, Yuanwailang is really respectful to Duke Ping. Look, as soon as he hears that someone is being wronged, he immediately goes to help...

[Finally I don't have to stay here and help Mo Youqian do these hard jobs. If I can't finish the work myself, I can do it. Sigh.]

Minister Mo: “???”
