After thinking for a long time, Zhao Shu had almost understood. She waved her hand and said, "Go tell Song Tian and Aunt Hao, and then check whether everyone at Sanguzhai is reliable."
"Yes, this servant will go right away." In truth, he was also very worried. Yi De's influence was too mixed and difficult to investigate.
After Xiao Zhuzi left, Zhao Shu dismissed the others, closed the doors and windows, and Wei Tingsi came out from behind the screen. Zhao Shu couldn't wait any longer and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm out of money. I need a lot of money, but the Emperor certainly won't give it to me," he said succinctly.
But Zhao Shu understood. He wanted the Crown Prince to ascend the throne and then give him silver. What a clever scheme. "Silver is more important than redressing a wrong?" Last time, with so much gold, Zhao Shu didn't believe that he couldn't defeat Prince Jing without worrying about supplies. Therefore, it must have been used for something else.
Wei Tingsi held her close, closed his eyes as if extremely sleepy, and said, "Yes, it's more important than the ordinary."
Zhao Shu sighed helplessly, "Go and rest for a while. No one will bother you here."
He had been traveling day and night, and even an iron man would get tired. Hearing this, he nodded, released Zhao Shu, went into the inner room, and lay down fully clothed.
Meanwhile, in the palace, the Empress Dowager was still discussing Yide's affairs with Xie Yun and others. If Zhao Shu were there, she would have been able to tell that they were just arguing fiercely, but they were not threatening to kill themselves. If they were not threatening to kill themselves, then they were just putting on a show for others.
It may seem like a fierce attack, but it doesn't actually intend to kill anyone.
However, the ministers' outburst caused an uproar in the palace.
In Fengqi Palace, the Empress was sipping her tea, intoxicated by the aroma. The autumn peonies in the courtyard were in full bloom, the first batch of flowers, exceptionally delicate.
"Your Majesty, Consort De requests an audience," Zhi Liu said.
The Empress raised her eyes, her tone indifferent and extremely languid, "Let her in. How is things at Weiyang Palace?"
"Your Majesty, the woman from Weiyang Palace said she left the palace to find a renowned physician for the Emperor. Physician Peng has not yet returned, and she is anxious. She also said that if Your Majesty wishes to punish her, she will accept it, but she is afraid that if the Emperor finds out, Your Majesty will have difficulty explaining herself."
"Hmph, she certainly knows how to talk. Well, the ministers will not let her off the hook in the end. Just wait and see, the palace is about to become even more lively." The Empress's dignified smile seemed to be something that came from her very bones, something that no one, no matter how favored they were in the harem, could imitate.
As they were talking, Lu Fushou went to invite Consort De in. From afar, before they even entered the palace, they heard Consort De say, "Sister, the peonies here are blooming so beautifully. I also planted a few here, but it seems like autumn hasn't arrived yet. There isn't even a single bud. Indeed, these flowers are also opportunistic. Knowing that I am not the Empress, they don't bother to bloom."
Is that true?
