Chapter 10: Sleeping

Zhu Sha sent all the palace people away, then took out the things that the Si family had sent, opened the cloth bag and took a look.

It's an envelope.

Thick envelope.

Si Linglong tore open the seal and opened the envelope, only to find that inside the envelope was a thick stack of banknotes, which felt heavy and substantial in one hand.

Si Linglong widened her eyes slightly, as if she was hit by money.

Is her family so rich?

"You were robbed this time, and the young master sent so many banknotes so that you could take care of the situation." Zhu Sha sighed, "The young master is really good to you."

Si Linglong recalled the introduction of Si Linglong in the book and did not agree with it.

The Si family was generous to her, but they didn't really love her.

The Si family is a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan, but Si's father wanted to enter the official career. However, his elder brother only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and had no talent for imperial examinations. So Si's father simply donated an official position and used all the family's money to carefully raise a daughter, Si Linglong, in order to send Si Linglong to the palace and hope that the Si family would prosper.

And Si Linglong did not make the Si family lose all their money. With her extraordinary appearance, she also gained some favor.

These banknotes are probably half of the Si family's fortune. They invested so much money and did not want their previous investments to go to waste.

After thinking this through, Si Linglong didn't feel guilty at all. She flipped her hand and directly collected the thick stack of banknotes.

Don’t miss the money that falls from the sky.

She wants to keep it for herself.

On the other side is the main hall of Linghua Palace.

Helian Yue took the time to deal with several memorials. Today, he had fired at Concubine Lian and Concubine Li one after another. It could be predicted that the Prime Minister and Duke Dingshan would definitely have something to say in the court tomorrow.

He had to put in some effort in advance to clean them up one by one.

As Helian Yue thought so, his hands kept moving. He wrote his reply on the last memorial and then closed the book. When he looked up again, it was already night.

"How's going in the side hall?" Helian Yue did not forget Si Linglong. Xuesha was raised by him to be spoiled. Now that it was taken back to the side hall, he didn't know whether Si Linglong had taken good care of it.

Although he intended to let Xue Sha torture Si Linglong, Si Linglong didn't seem to be the kind of person who would sympathize with small animals, so he didn't want to let his beloved get hurt.

Fu Tai, who was standing aside, had no idea what Helian Yue was thinking. When he heard him mention the side palace, he immediately thought of Lang Guiren.

I sighed inwardly, it's so wonderful, the emperor never thinks of the harem when he is busy. Today, after hurriedly finishing his official duties, the first thing he did was to care about Lang Guiren, which shows that he really cares about her.

"I heard that His Highness Xuesha slept on your bed. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well tonight. Your Majesty, do you think..." Fu Tai wanted to take the person over, but Helian Yue only heard the first sentence "You won't be able to sleep well tonight" and subconsciously showed satisfaction on his face.

"well done!"

As expected of my favorite, you should punish the woman who dared to criticize me.

When Fu Tai heard this, he instantly felt that he had captured the emperor's heart again, and his face was immediately filled with smiles, "Then I will go and announce the decree."

Having said that, without waiting for Helian Yue to react, he retreated like the wind.

Helian Yue:? ? What did he go there to announce?

…

Half an hour later, Helian Yue looked expressionlessly at Si Linglong, who was wearing pajamas in front of him. When their eyes met, they saw indifference in each other's eyes.

[Dog Emperor, you really want to sleep with me! ]

Helian Yue glared at Fu Tai who was standing beside him.

[You little dog slave! Who told you to bring someone here?! ]

Fu Tai was glared at, looking confused, [Isn't it what you said, Your Majesty? ]

Helian Yue was very sure that Fu Tai had misinterpreted his meaning again, but since the person had come, there was no reason to chase him away.

If he wanted to take it for granted that Si Linglong would be by his side in the future to listen to the ministers' thoughts, making her "favored" was the simplest and most reasonable way.

Today, I have already "lost my temper for the beauty I love", so it is only natural for me to summon someone to sleep with me.

Thinking of this, Helian Yue was about to wave to her as if it were a gift, but he suddenly heard Si Linglong's heartbeat again.

[Forget it, just treat it as hiring a gigolo for free. In ancient times, it was called a mianshou, right? ]

[From the perspective of a male concubine, the dog emperor's looks and figure are still quite impressive. Well, I don't lose out on this. ]

Si Linglong secretly examined Helian Yue's body to comfort herself, with a look of satisfaction on her face.

Helian Yue, who was examined from head to toe, said: …

I'd better execute her.

Ling Chi's kind of death!

How dare you compare me to a concubine!

Woman! Die for me!
