Chapter 115 Burning Her Palace
Liu Zhiyuan had just woken up and was sitting in front of the window of the pavilion, waiting for Jinfu and Yinbao to put on makeup for her.
The hair has been tied up, but the pearl hairpin has not yet been put on.
Seeing Xiao Yu come in, Jin Fu and Yin Bao bowed.
"Your Highness."
Xiao Yu raised his hand and signaled them to leave.
Jinfu and Yinbao walked out with their heads down.
Liu Zhiyuan yawned lazily, "Why are you here?"
He never came at this time before.
"Of course I came to see my beloved concubine."
Liu Zhiyuan rolled her eyes and said, "What's so good about me?"
"My beloved concubine is beautiful, so naturally I have to look at her more."
"Superficial." Liu Zhiyuan picked up the white magnolia hairpin and was about to put it on her head.
A hand reached out, Xiao Yu took the hairpin from her hand and put it on her.
Having someone to help her, Liu Zhiyuan felt happy and at ease. She took out a pearl flower and handed it to Xiao Yu.
Pointing to her bun, she said, "Wear it here."
Xiao Yu put it on her and saw her beautiful face through the bronze mirror. The pearl hairpin was gorgeous, but it was not even a fraction as beautiful as her pretty face.
Seeing other ornaments on the table, Xiao Yu reached out and picked up a five-tailed phoenix hairpin, inlaid with jade and decorated with tassels, which was very beautiful.
He reached for it.
"Hey, hey, you can't wear that."
"Why?"
Liu Zhiyuan picked up the phoenix hairpin and placed it in front of him, letting him see it clearly. "This is a phoenix hairpin. The five-tailed phoenix is only worn by the Imperial Concubine. It should have been given to Xiaoyu. The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent it to the wrong person."
According to the palace rules of Dayong, only concubines of noble rank and above can wear phoenix hairpins.
The empress is a nine-tailed phoenix, the imperial concubine is a five-tailed phoenix, and the concubine is a three-tailed phoenix.
Concubines are not yet qualified to wear phoenix hairpins.
Xiao Yu took the five-tailed phoenix from her hand and threw it back on the table, "It was indeed the wrong gift."
She should have been wearing a nine-tailed phoenix.
"Which one do you want to wear?" Xiao Yu asked.
"No, it's too troublesome to wear. I like to keep it simple." Liu Zhiyuan stood up.
Xiao Yu looked puzzled, "No need to draw eyebrows?"
"No, I don't like wearing makeup."
She has good skin and complexion, is naturally beautiful, and rarely wears makeup.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Xiao Yu's eyes. He had wanted to draw her eyebrows himself.
But it doesn’t matter, there is still a long time to go and there are plenty of opportunities.
Lunch was ready, and Xiao Yu accompanied her to eat.
"Zhou Kang is going to check out the candle shop in the capital today. Do you want to go?"
Liu Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, "Can I go?"
"Go if you want to."
"But didn't you tell me not to go last night?"
Liu Zhiyuan looked alert, wondering if there was any conspiracy.
Xiao Yu glanced at her nonchalantly and said, "If I don't let you go, you won't go."
Liu Zhiyuan felt guilty and was planning to sneak out.
"You can go. I'll let Wang Zheng go with you to protect your safety."
Yingyi will also be sent over to follow secretly.
This woman is too troublesome and it's not safe for her to be outside.
Liu Zhiyuan understood. So that's how it was. Instead of letting her sneak out on her own and getting into danger, it would be better to let her go directly and send someone to follow her.
"Okay, when can we go?"
"After lunch, I'll ask Zhou Kang to wait for you outside."
Liu Zhiyuan clenched his fist, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Xiao Yu, "..."
Now that he could go out of the palace to play, Liu Zhiyuan ate much faster.
After lunch, Xiao Yu sent her to Fuqing Palace and asked her to go out with Yan Ruyu. In addition to sending Wang Zheng to accompany them, he also brought a group of guards.
Yingyi brought a few secret guards to follow him.
After Liu Zhiyuan left, Xiao Yu looked at Liu Dehai with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Send someone to move the things in Zining Palace to Yangxin Palace, and then burn Zining Palace down."
Liu Dehai, “…???”
When he heard the previous part, he was secretly showing his big white teeth, thinking that the emperor couldn't wait for the queen to move in and live with him.
However, the second half of the sentence confused him.
"Burned?"
"That's right, send more people and make sure to burn it before Concubine Liu comes back."
Her residence was burned down and she had nowhere to live, so naturally she had to live in the Yangxin Palace.
Liu Dehai didn't understand and was shocked by the emperor's order, but he still had to carry it out obediently.
Liu Zhiyuan originally thought that investigating the case would be very interesting, but he didn't expect that he would just ask about the business situation and check the account books.
How can I describe this feeling? It's like a bucket of cold water was poured over me, and all my enthusiasm was gone.
She thought they would rush in majestically, control everyone, and then search everywhere.
I didn't expect that it was to check the account books.
A bunch of people sat there, clacking beads on their abacus, looking extremely bored.
She took a look at the account books and couldn't bear to look at them.
This is too messy and complicated. It takes a skill to be able to calculate these accounts clearly.
Zhou Kang supervised the accountants in doing the accounting, while Liu Zhiyuan and Yan Ruyu leaned back to back and yawned.
Zhou Kang walked over and said, "Why don't you go play outside for a while? I don't think this place will end so quickly."
Liu Zhiyuan yawned again, "How long will it take?"
"At least three hours."
Liu Zhiyuan, "..."
Three hours, which is six hours, really counts.
"I say, is this really necessary? Since they dared to show you the account books, they must have tampered with them. Haven't you heard of open and hidden accounts? Even if you search these account books thoroughly, you will definitely not find anything."
"I know, but this is the procedure of the case."
The efficiency of the process also matters.
Forget it, it’s none of her business anyway.
"Xiaoyu, let's go out for a walk."
Wang Zheng hurried to catch up.
Zhou Kang checked two candle shops in one day and spent almost the entire time counting the accounts. When Liu Zhiyuan and Yan Ruyu came back from shopping, they were still checking.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, they went back home first, leaving Zhou Kang and the accountants to do the calculations slowly.
After playing for a whole day, Liu Zhiyuan was exhausted and just wanted to go back to eat, take a shower and have a nap.
But he didn't want to return to Zining Palace and was dumbfounded.
Where is my house?
I have such a big house, why is there only a black frame left!!!
"Who set fire to my Zining Palace!" Liu Zhiyuan was devastated.
So where is she staying tonight?
Jinfu and Yinbao were ordered to wait for her here. When they heard the sound, they hurried over.
"My Lady."
"What happened? Why did it get burned?"
"It was the emperor who ordered it to be burned. The emperor asked you to go directly to the Yangxin Palace to find him after you come back." Jin Fu said.
How outrageous!
This is too much!
Liu Zhiyuan was furious. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards the Yangxin Palace. Jin Fu caught up with him in a sedan chair.
"My Lady, please take the sedan chair. It's too far."
Liu Zhiyuan sat on it. She had been playing outside all day and was indeed very tired.
In the Yangxin Palace, Liu Dehai had already prepared a large table of sumptuous dinner. Xiao Yu sat aside reading memorials and had no intention of picking up his chopsticks.
Liu Zhiyuan rushed in murderously, "Xiao Yu, what do you mean? Why are you burning my things?"
"Your things have been moved to the Yangxin Palace. I have never burned them."
