Chapter 32: Digging in the Little Garden



???

!!!

The civil and military officials were so shocked that they almost jumped up. This guy was really risking his life. He actually dared to ask the emperor for compensation for mental damage, all for a mule.

For thousands of years, no one has ever dared to do this, and no one has ever done this.

This man must be crazy, that's the only reasonable explanation.

In order to avoid hearing it wrongly, the emperor even asked Eunuch Liu.

"Eunuch Liu, what did you say to your beloved minister? What does she mean by that?"

Eunuch Liu was so frightened that his legs went limp and he knelt on the ground. "Your Majesty, I don't know what she meant. I only heard her say that she wanted to ask for mental damages for her mule."

The emperor's face looked very ugly, and the official Xiang in the distance was almost heartbroken.

He had been attending court with his daughter for less than a month, during which time he had already written countless suicide notes. Although his entire family might be executed, no one would read his suicide notes.

But he felt he needed to tell others that it was all his daughter's fault and it had nothing to do with him at all, and he was just a victim.

At this moment, Xiang Daguan silently held his suicide note in his arms. He felt that he would not survive the day.

As the instigator, Xiang Hua was very dissatisfied with the emperor's attitude, "Your Majesty, this is a legitimate request, don't you think?"

The emperor's hand holding the imperial seal trembled slightly, and he tried hard to suppress his inner irritability. "My dear Xiang, you also know that the national treasury has no money, and I have no money either. So..."

So don’t even think about eating shit, or I’ll chop off your head.

Xiang Hua shrugged. She knew this was the fact, but she was not going to give up easily.

"Your Majesty, the houses in the harem have been in disrepair for a long time. If it can hurt my mule today, it may hit the flowers and plants tomorrow. What if it hurts a concubine, or even you?"

When the emperor heard this, it seemed to be true, but there was no way he could get him to pay for it!

"My dear Xiang, I am also very worried, but I can't do anything about it."

"Your Majesty, I know you have no money, but I have a way to get some money. Please let me handle this matter."

"Where did you get the money?" the emperor asked curiously. Could it be that there was some gold, silver, and jewelry hidden somewhere in this palace?

"The secret cannot be revealed, Your Majesty, just trust me. After the mission is accomplished, can you use part of the money to compensate my mule? You know it's badly injured."

Prime Minister Gongsun Tudou's mouth twitched. He had heard that the wound on the mule's head was not a big deal at all, the main problem was its hoof was injured.

The reason it was injured was that it stepped on the melon seed shell of Xianghua.

Now Xiang Hua is avoiding the main issue and talking nonsense.

The Prime Minister's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

"Okay, as long as you can find money in the harem, I will compensate your mule for mental damages." The emperor smiled. There was another good show to watch!

Everyone looked up at the emperor. Why did he look so angry just now? Why did the weather turn from cloudy to sunny now?

It is true that the emperor's heart is as unfathomable as a needle in the sea. Don't try to guess what the emperor is thinking. You will never be able to figure it out!

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After bowing to Hua, he returned to his seat and happily started eating melon seeds again.

After court, Xiang Hua went home to eat as usual.

After hearing Eunuch Liu's report on the matter, the emperor suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Eunuch Liu, do you think Xiang Hua is going to come and steal from my treasury in the middle of the night?"

Eunuch Liu replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I think this is impossible. Although Lady Xiao Xiang is brave, she is not that bold. Stealing from the national treasury is a capital crime."

"Then why didn't she take any action all day? She must be waiting for night when it's dark and windy so she can take action." The emperor still felt unsure.

"Make arrangements tonight, send more people to the harem, and the treasury, and guard it strictly."

Just as the emperor expected, Xiang Hua slowly arrived at the palace after dark.

This time she brought Rensha, Chigua and her three brothers.

Originally, she also wanted to ask her father to come over, but the official refused to comply and threatened to cut off all ties with her.

Instead of going to the national treasury, they wandered to a secluded grove in the harem.

Several people stealthily took out shovels, hoes and other tools they carried with them and started to act.

They didn't know that the emperor had already come to the front line to watch the fun. He wanted to see for himself what Xiang Hua was up to.

Eunuch Liu was hiding with the emperor not far away. "Your Majesty, they seem to be digging something? Is there something good buried there?"

"Hmph, I'd rather bury nothing than money." The emperor smiled contemptuously. If there was money hidden in the harem, he would have found it long ago.

Xiang Hua, as the mastermind of this operation, stood aside and was only responsible for verbal instructions as usual, and Chi Gua was still responsible for serving her food and drinks.

Xiang Wen's frail body made it difficult for him to swing the shovel, and Xiang Bin tried clumsily for a long time but didn't dig much.

Xiang Wu became the main force at work. He swung his arms and worked hard, and one person could do the work of eight people.

He is best at this kind of mindless work.

Another person who likes to do this kind of physical work is the stupid person. Although the stupid person is stupid, he is very strong.

The two men cooperated with each other and soon dug a big pit.

Xiang Wen asked in confusion, "Little sister, after we dig the pit, what are we going to do next?"

Xiang Hua only said that she was going to dig a hole in the harem, but she did not reveal what she was going to do.

Xiang Hua blinked his eyes, looking mysterious, "Brother, do you know what this place was used for before?"
