Chapter 29 Jiang Xiuxiu's Bed
Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Chen Lide immediately stood out from the crowd and knelt, "Your Majesty, this is indeed the case. I submitted a memorial to you yesterday."
The emperor felt helpless when he heard this, as he had not had time to read those memorials yet.
In this case, I guess they won’t be able to produce it even if we force them.
"Father, I have a plan. Would you like to hear it?"
The emperor was worried, and Xiao Yujing spoke again, which gave him hope.
"Second brother, tell me quickly, what is your plan?"
Seeing that there were still so many people in the hall, Xiao Yujing glanced at the adults below.
The emperor saw this and waved his sleeves, "Dismiss the court, all of you, leave."
When the officials heard this, they were like dehydrated fish seeing water. They all breathed a sigh of relief, especially Jiang Nanfeng.
Everyone ran faster than rabbits. Several princes and crown princes were even very grateful that they had escaped disaster when they saw that they were not called upon today.
After all the adults and princes had left, the emperor could not wait to look at Xiao Yujing, "Second brother, tell me quickly, what do you have in mind?"
The emperor is now in urgent need of silver, otherwise he will have nothing in his palace, and what is the point of being the emperor?
"Your Majesty, you can confiscate the property. There are many treasures in the houses of Lao Jiu and Lin Zhaoye. Also, increase taxes and let corrupt officials from all over the country hand over the money." After Xiao Yujing finished speaking, he glanced at the emperor. Seeing that he was moved, he thought that the families whose houses were to be confiscated had no money left, so he could replace them with a new group of people.
When the time comes, just make up a reason. Is there more or less?
And what about those princes? Why is there no money in their mansions? The other princes must have some in their underworld, and there is also the prince's mansion.
"Hahaha, Second Brother, your idea is great. I'll do as you say. I'll leave this matter to you. You're fully responsible."
"Yes, Father." Xiao Yujing agreed respectfully, "Father, do we need to ask them to hand over the other princes' palaces? And the Crown Prince's Palace?"
The emperor thought for a moment, then nodded, "Let them all bleed a little. Wu Hai, go get the imperial edict."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hai immediately went to get a blank imperial edict, and the emperor quickly wrote the edict.
After handing it over to Xiao Yujing, he rubbed his solar plexus tiredly and waved to him, "Okay, you can leave."
Xiao Yujing left with the imperial edict and smiled. This was a lucrative job and he could get a lot of benefits from it.
After he left, the emperor looked at Wu Hai and said, "Go and bring the beauty from yesterday."
Wu Hai immediately understood what the emperor meant. He nodded and immediately went downstairs to prepare to leave.
Yesterday was the first time he experienced the feeling of a woman being unconscious, and the feeling yesterday made him unable to stop.
I took medicine several times a night.
Jiang Xiuxiu was arranged to stay in the Fanghua Palace in the palace. She looked at the unfamiliar environment around her and curled up on the bed in fear.
She didn't know how she came to the palace. Wasn't it Jiang Nanyuan who was framed by her mother last night? But why did she send herself in?
Could it be that my mother did this on purpose? Was she targeting me from the beginning?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiuxiu shook her head vigorously.
No, that's impossible. Her mother was usually so kind to her and would never hit or scold her. It's impossible for her to treat her like this. The only possibility was that something went wrong.
Her mind was a little confused, and suddenly some images flashed through her mind. She remembered that it was Jiang Nanyuan. Last night, it was Jiang Nanyuan who sneaked into her boudoir and knocked her unconscious. When she woke up again, she came here.
It was her fault.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiuxiu was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly.
Jiang Nanyuan, just wait for me. If you treat me like this, I won’t let you off easily.
"Oh, Miss Jiang is awake. You should clean up, because the emperor wants to summon you." Wu Hai walked into the room and saw Jiang Xiuxiu crying. He had seen this kind of thing many times. It was nothing more than officials wanting to please the emperor, knowing that the emperor liked beautiful women.
They could send a beautiful woman, or a girl from their own family, into the palace. If the emperor liked her deeply, it would not be impossible for her to be made a noble concubine or a concubine.
"Miss Jiang, I advise you to be open-minded. There's nothing wrong with following the Emperor. He just has a few little quirks. As long as you accept and cooperate, the Emperor will like you. You will have everything you want in the future."
Wu Hai was actually bribed by Xiao Yujing. He promised him that if he got the throne in the future, he would still be the chief eunuch in the palace and his status would not change.
He knew that Jiang Xiuxiu was Jiang Nanfeng's daughter, and he thought that this was a plan of the Second Prince and his men, to have Jiang Xiuxiu come to please the Emperor and let him indulge in debauchery all day long.
He thought that he had kept it a secret from Jiang Xiuxiu, so he gave her this advice.
Jiang Xiuxiu did listen to what he said.
Yes, now that it has come to this, her body has been handed over. If she wants to deal with Jiang Nanyuan, she must climb up. This is a good opportunity.
After figuring it out, she wiped away her tears and said, "Okay, thank you for your advice, eunuch. I want to take a bath." Although the emperor was a little perverted, after what happened last night, he wanted to take revenge, so this little humiliation was nothing.
Seeing that Jiang Xiuxiu had figured it out, Wu Hai immediately sent two palace maids to help her bathe and change clothes. After she was ready, he took her to see the emperor.
At the same time, Jiang Nanfeng also returned home. As soon as he came back, he heard the news of Jiang Xiuxiu's disappearance. He couldn't help rubbing his temples.
This was really one thing after another. He walked quickly towards Liu Shuang's yard and asked her what had happened. How could a girl from the boudoir suddenly disappear in the Marquis' Mansion?
Could it be that she had encountered a thief? If she had been kidnapped by a thief, wouldn't her innocence be ruined?
Jiang Xiuxiu was born with a pretty appearance, and she possessed all the advantages of both of them.
Especially in the past few years, she has gradually grown up and looks more and more beautiful.
He originally wanted to keep Jiang Xiuxiu in the mansion to raise her, and then find a way to send her to the Second Prince's mansion.
If she becomes the second prince's concubine, and he takes that position in the future, her position will also rise, and her own position will be more stable.
But now that he knows Jiang Xiuxiu is missing, how can he not be angry!
"Don't make this matter known to anyone. I'm afraid we've encountered a flower thief. Xiuxiu's innocence is in jeopardy. Tell the servants in the mansion to keep their mouths shut.
Anyone who spreads this will be beaten with a hundred sticks."
Jiang Nanfeng knew Liu Shuang must be anxious, but she had to warn him. She could only search secretly.
But even if I find my daughter, she is useless and has no use to me.
On second thought, doesn’t he have a daughter?
Jiang Nanyuan is also good-looking, even better than Jiang Xiuxiu.
The Second Prince hadn't met Jiang Nanyuan either, had he? He would find a chance for them to meet.
But there is no rush for this matter. The most important thing now is to get the dowry in Lin Zhixue's hands.
Jiang Nanfeng's mental calculations were going on in a chaotic manner, and Jiang Nanyuan, who was being schemed against by him, sneezed several times in succession in her own yard.
