After saying this, Li Zhiyi continued to look around the room.

But Qian Ruoyu said happily.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else besides this silver? Don't tell me you are performing a show without any material objects."

Her words were full of irony.

Li Zhiyi, who was standing in the empty room, looked more like a clown at this moment.

Li Zhiyi stood there for a while, looking left and right. There was nothing else in the small room except this small box.

Chu Mobai naturally only took a glance and saw the silver in the box.

It was just a few hundred taels of silver. Even if Qian Ruoyu had several thousand taels of silver on hand, he would not be surprised.

After all, this way, she can be considered as a good housekeeper.

It was for this reason that Chu Mobai waved to Li Zhiyi in the room.

"Come out, there should really be nothing in there."

After hearing what Chu Mobai said, Li Zhiyi had no choice but to walk out of the room happily.

But even so, she continued speaking.

"Your Majesty, I just saw..."

But before she could finish, Chu Mobai spoke impatiently.

"Okay, you don't have to say any more."

"Before this, all the silver in the palace had been taken out by the prince. How could the princess come up with the tens of thousands of taels of silver you mentioned?"

"Besides, the princess did raise a large sum of money in the capital before, but she took all of it to the military camp. Even if there is a little left, it should at least be used by everyone in the palace."

"Didn't she give you any money during this time?"

When she heard this, Li Zhiyi immediately shook her head.

Qian Ruoyu really gave her money.

She didn't dare to lie in front of Chu Mobai.

Chu Mobai said this.

"Isn't that it?"

"Since the princess has given you money, and has also provided a comfortable life for the people in the palace, I have never heard of any servants in the palace complaining to me during my time in the military camp."

This is what Chu Mobai is most satisfied with.

During his absence, the palace was peaceful.

The last time he went on a military expedition, the palace was in turmoil.

Li Zhiyi, the concubine in charge of the palace, embezzled at least six thousand taels of silver by herself, and even the servants in the palace had no meals to eat.

If it weren't for her consideration of her status as a concubine, the people under her would have rebelled long ago.

It is precisely because of such a huge gap that Chu Mobai trusts Qian Ruoyu more and more.

"Okay, you don't have to say so much. I think you must have been hallucinating just now. Go back to your room and rest if you are tired."

"Ah..." Hearing Chu Mobai's words, Li Zhiyi couldn't believe it and said coquettishly, "Then what are you doing here, Your Majesty... You just came back from the military camp, why don't you come to my place and rest for a while..."

Chu Mobai refused directly.

"That's not necessary. This king is not tired yet."

"You go back and have a good rest now, and we'll talk about the rest later. I still have something to say to the princess."

Hearing Chu Mobai speaking like this, Li Zhiyi had no choice but to nod in boredom and left the yard.

Chu Mobai turned around and said to Qian Ruoyu.

"You've had a hard time these days."

After all, looking at the two hundred taels of silver on the ground, he thought that perhaps this was all her savings.

As a princess, she only had two hundred taels of silver in her savings, which was very little.

Even in the court, if you randomly pick out the wife of a sixth-rank official, she would have at least a few hundred taels of silver in her savings.

Qian Ruoyu smiled and pretended to be aggrieved for a while.

At this moment, Butler Wang ran in and said.

"Your Highness, someone has come into the palace. It looks like it's Chief Steward Liu!"

What is Liu Dehai doing here? Qian Ruoyu thought to herself.

Chu Mobai had no idea and spoke immediately.

"Since they are from the palace, it means they are probably here with an imperial decree. Let's get out of here quickly."

Qian Ruoyu nodded and followed Chu Mobai to the most grand hall.

When they arrived at the hall, it was indeed Liu Dehai who came with the imperial edict.

After all, Chu Mobai was also here, so Liu Dehai began to read the imperial edict according to the most formal procedures.

"Your Highness, you have been busy fighting on the frontiers and guarding the capital day and night to protect the city and the people. This is indeed a great achievement. I would like to commend your character in person and give you high hopes. I hope you will come to the palace soon."

If Chu Mobai was not here, he would probably have told Qian Ruoyu the contents of the imperial edict.

But when she heard the contents of the imperial edict, she began to feel something was wrong.

This content seems to be praising Chu Mobai, but in fact, just guarding outside the capital day and night with soldiers is probably not a good thing for the emperor.

The thought of this made her feel a little worried.

But at this moment, a hint of happiness appeared on Chu Mobai's face, as if he really felt that the emperor was praising him.

Oh, this silly husband!

After Chu Mobai expressed his gratitude, Liu Dehai naturally didn't say much and prepared to leave, but she spoke behind him.

"Your Majesty, I'll take Chief Steward Liu with me."

Chu Mobai didn't doubt it at all. He just nodded slightly and watched Qian Ruoyu follow him to the gate.

On the way to the gate, Liu Dehai said.

"Your Majesty, the contents of this imperial edict plus the emperor's intentions...I'm afraid it's not good!"

After hearing what Liu Dehai said, she was immediately certain in her heart that what she thought was correct and that the emperor had given the prince no more rewards.

Chu Mobai is already a prince and a first-rank general. Any reward at this time would be futile for him. Could it be that he should be separated from the position of a senior general?

This is even more impossible. The emperor looked at Chu Mobai with eyes that seemed to want to eat him up. How could he continue to reward him?

So I thought this might be a Hongmen Banquet.

Chu Mobai had just given up his military power when he was immediately invited to enter the palace. I'm afraid that this visit will not be a good one.

Therefore Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly.

"Manager Liu, you are right. Thank you for your reminder."

Liu Dehai nodded immediately.

"But, Madam, if you could follow the prince into the palace, it might be a good thing... After all, for your sake..."

When she heard this, she immediately understood that this meant that the prince wanted her to take him into the palace with him.

So she nodded immediately.

"Okay, don't worry, I will follow the prince into the palace when the time comes."

After hearing what she said, Liu Dehai felt much more relaxed and immediately set out on the road back to the palace.

Qian Ruoyu, on the other hand, was walking back, thinking about going into the palace with the prince.
