The Queen made a suggestion, how could the Prince dare to disagree?
What's more, this is the current relationship between the Queen and the Crown Prince.
If the mother and son were close, and the prince was spoiled, he might be able to refuse outright and mess around…
Therefore, even if eunuchs were sent to inquire, the fact that the Ninth Prince would move there was already a foregone conclusion.
Not "temporarily", but moving there.
But the prince's reaction was still unexpected.
But after a short while, the eunuch who was sent out came back, accompanied by a group of eunuchs and palace maids.
The young eunuch reported, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince asked the people in the palace to come and help the Ninth Prince move things..."
The queen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
The Ninth Prince was slightly stunned. So, the Crown Prince wouldn't mind him moving there, right?
Her eyelashes fluttered and her eyes were a little red.
After asking the Queen for permission, Li Quan'er asked the eunuchs and maids in the Prince's Palace to go in and help pack up the Ninth Prince's things.
After the eunuchs and palace maids went in for a while, their faces changed.
The palace servant who was originally serving the Ninth Prince was still kneeling at this moment, trying to get up to help...
But who dares to move without the Queen's order? !
There wasn't even a decent box in the room, and Li Quan'er's face became more and more uglier.
The eunuchs and palace maids were ordered to bring out the ninth prince's clothes, shoes, accessories, quilts, etc., and they filled the yard with them.
When the queen saw it, she stepped forward and fiddled with it with her hands, checking them one by one.
Every time he fiddled with one of them, his gaze became colder.
"Who among you is in charge of this courtyard?"
The Queen asked herself.
The kneeling eunuchs and palace maids were timid and dared not say a word.
"The Queen is asking questions. If you don't speak up, don't beg for answers later!"
Li Quan'er's voice was also filled with anger. After all, he was still the master, the flesh and blood of His Majesty, and how dare they be so bold!
The eunuchs and palace maids trembled and spoke one after another.
"Originally, there were two managers in the courtyard. They were old and were just released this year..."
"Chief Steward Zhang... No, Zhang Shi originally wanted to find a new maid to take charge of the palace, but I didn't expect that he would get into trouble so soon..."
"So, now there are only a few servants here, and no one is in charge..."
......
The queen understood what had happened. It turned out that Zhang Shi, that servile man, had actually extended his hand here!
No one cares about the Ninth Prince's courtyard, so this is a good opportunity to make some money. If a palace maid wants to get a position as a manager, she will have to pay him tribute...
The queen's eyes were stern. "Those two have been serving the Ninth Prince?"
The palace maids and eunuchs nodded like chickens pecking at rice, then lowered their heads.
"You too?"
The palace maids and eunuchs shrank back and nodded again.
The queen glanced at them and then looked at the ninth prince.
The palace servants on the ground were not very big, not much older than the Ninth Prince. When the Ninth Prince was a child, he was served by these half-grown children?
Or was it because he was bullied and deprived since he was a child?
"Li Quan'er, send someone to check on the two palace maids who left the palace...
Make them spit out everything they took from the Ninth Prince’s courtyard.
Also, there is no need to bring the person into the palace. After verifying the facts, report to His Majesty first and then beat the person to death!
Such treacherous slaves are not allowed to set foot in this palace!"
The palace maids and eunuchs on the ground were all terrified and burst into tears.
"Someone come!"
The queen called out to Li Quan'er again, "Catch these cunning slaves!"
Li Quan'er immediately called for help and pinned several palace maids and eunuchs to the ground, making them unable to move.
"The palace gives the princes a certain amount of clothes and shoes to make each season. Li Quan'er, you should know this, right?"
Li Quaner quickly answered yes.
"Count the princes' clothes one by one for me. If the fabrics and patterns don't match, they will all be considered as embezzlement!
How many pieces are missing? How many boards will be given?"
The Queen's voice was relatively steady, but the coldness in it was chilling enough to make one shudder.
"yes!"
Li Quaner immediately arranged for people to bring the torture bench and board.
The palace maids and eunuchs were unable to move and kept begging for mercy.
"My Lady, spare my life!"
"Your Majesty, please spare us. We know we were wrong! Please forgive us. We won't do it again!"
"My queen, I will hand over all the silver we have embezzled. My queen, we will hand it over! Ah!"
......
Li Quaner was efficient and did not waste time on inventory.
Let the eunuchs beat them first, counting while they beat them!
"Return? Return what? Can you afford it?!"
The queen walked up to the Ninth Prince and touched the collar of his shirt, which was slightly pilling...
When I lowered my eyes, I realized that the sleeves of the Ninth Prince's new clothes were actually a little too short...
The more you see, the more guilty you feel, and the more uncomfortable you feel.
"What are you going to give me to compensate for the suffering my little Jiu has endured from you in the past?"
The Ninth Prince clenched his fists and smoothed his throat to prevent his eyes from turning red.
He didn't want his mother to blame herself, so this was already good enough.
