At night, Lin Zhiya and Zhao Chen left the palace and headed straight for the gold mine.
The gold mine had been surrounded, the imperial seal was covered with a red cloth, and standing next to it were Prime Minister Liu and the extremely haggard Concubine Nian.
Prime Minister Liu was the first to speak out: "Your Majesty, this thing was dug out from Concubine Lin's gold mine. I'm afraid the Lin family and others are planning a rebellion!"
Nian Zhaoyi nodded and said, "What is a jade seal? Can Concubine Lin use it in the harem? The Lin family must have made it because they were dissatisfied with the emperor."
Lin Zhiya was not in a hurry and her expression was very calm.
Zhao Chen ignored the two of them and instead reached out to take the jade seal in his hand. It felt slightly cool and very heavy, and was obviously made of the same material as the previous jade seal.
But the workmanship was a bit poor. Zhao Chen slid his index finger along the texture of the jade seal. It was too new. He soon discovered that it was made recently.
Something is better than nothing, Zhao Chen thought calmly.
Lin Zhiya's inner voice: [Zhaoyi Nian's methods are too sinister, but I have already given the gold mine to the emperor, so her fake jade seal will definitely be a waste of effort.]
...
...
What a mess! Zhao Chen felt that Lin Zhiya compared him to a dog, and his face turned black.
But was it really done by Concubine Nian? Zhao Chen quickly chose to believe Concubine Lin's guess, and he lost all patience with Concubine Nian.
Prime Minister Liu: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, you should put Concubine Lin under house arrest and arrest Lin Yiyuan to investigate the situation."
Nian Zhaoyi was very proud: "Since it is Lin Guiren's gold mine, she can't get away from it."
Let you dig for gold! Let you dig for gold! Now it’s all right, Nian Zhaoyi thought.
Lin Zhiya smiled and gently refuted the two people's arguments: "The gold mine is no longer mine. I have already presented it to the emperor. As for the imperial seal, it also belongs to the emperor."
Prime Minister Liu was surprised and looked at Zhao Chen tremblingly: "Your Majesty, did Concubine Lin really donate the gold mine to the court?"
Zhao Chen was speechless, and said sternly, "It was given to me, not to the court."
Prime Minister Liu automatically ignored Zhao Chen's words. He was filled with admiration and choked up, "I, this old minister, actually misunderstood Lady Lin. You are such a loving person. Since you gave the gold mine to the emperor, the jade seal must have been given to the emperor by God."
Prime Minister Liu: "The State of Zhao has suffered many disasters in the past two years. It is because God wants to encourage the Emperor to govern the country well that he has re-engraved the jade seal and found it in a gold mine so that the people can know about it."
Nian Zhaoyi looked dull and shivered from head to toe.
How did things develop in a direction she didn't expect? Such a huge gold mine was presented to the emperor, and Lin Zhiya gave it to the emperor without blinking an eye?
Zhao Zhaoyi looked at the jade seal in Zhao Chen's hand, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Zhao Chen handed the imperial seal to Prime Minister Liu with a gracious expression, and at the same time glanced at Concubine Nian lying on the ground, and instructed: "Concubine Nian is not in good health, so don't come to the palace again. Just take good care of yourself."
Zhao Chen gently took Lin Zhiya's hand and said, "You have made great contributions to this matter. If it is found that the Nian family did it, you can deal with the Nian family."
Lin Zhiya's inner voice: [Then hurry up and check it out. Things have changed. Could it be that Concubine Nian will fall into my hands? ]
Lin Zhiya couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and smiled cutely.
Prime Minister Liu: "When I return, I will have people publicize today's events. I will make sure that the people know about Concubine Lin's love for the people and that God has affirmed the Emperor!"
…
After returning to the palace with the imperial seal, Lin Zhiya and Zhao Chen said goodbye affectionately, and did not forget to urge Zhao Chen to find evidence against Nian Zhaoyi as soon as possible.
Zhao Chen, dressed in a black robe, stood in front of the rustling phoenix tree, "I feel extra strong now, thanks to my beloved concubine's tea."
Lin Zhiya's eyelids jumped and she realized that it was almost late at night. In order to avoid getting Zhao Chen drunk and causing trouble, Lin Zhiya found an excuse and hurried away.
The next day, I heard that Zhao Chen had worked hard all night, reviewed the memorials that had been piling up for many days, and arranged the specific matters of digging for gold.
The palace was in an uproar, as everyone was afraid that the emperor had died suddenly.
Lin Zhiya got up and stretched leisurely, then she heard the palace maid tell her that the concubines were already waiting outside the door.
"Oh? Why are you waiting for me?" Lin Zhiya asked in surprise.
The maid said, "Your Highness, how could you forget again? You are now the Concubine Wan, the most senior official in the harem. Everyone else has to pay their respects to you."
Lin Zhiya was dressed up by the palace maids. The lavender knitted shawl set off her graceful figure, and she wore a pleated skirt with pipa sleeves underneath, which added a bit of luxury to her beautiful face.
The maid praised: "Your Highness is so beautiful, no wonder the Emperor only favors you."
…Just for the sake of hearing these words, Lin Zhiya walked out of the room and came to the living room. The concubines had already sat down, holding a bowl of tea and talking about trivial daily life.
Lin Zhiya greeted them in a familiar manner, "Did you sleep well, sisters? There are many mosquitoes at night, so be careful not to get bitten."
As soon as the voice fell, Min Cairen interrupted hurriedly, "Sister Wanpin, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion yet, but there is something more important right now. Did you hear about what happened to the emperor last night?"
At night? Lin Zhiya was surprised. After thinking for a while, she realized that she was talking about Zhao Chen working hard in the imperial study room all night.
Facing Min Cairen's worried expression, Lin Zhiya felt a little guilty, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she said admiringly: "The emperor is diligent in his work, which shows that he is a wise ruler. We should all be happy. Why are you all so sad?"
Min Cairen: "... Although that's what I said, we still have to save some lives. The emperor is still young, we can't just let him die of exhaustion."
Lin Zhiya coughed dryly, revealing an expression of humbly seeking advice: "Then what do you think we should do?"
Min Cairen said as a matter of course, "Of course, Sister Wanpin will go to persuade the emperor, representing our harem, to let the emperor know that we care about him."
Lin Zhiya thought that it was really unnecessary, and he would have time to sleep after the effect of the medicine wore off.
Because she didn't answer, Concubine Min urged her even more, "Sister Wanpin, you may not know that the emperor has fully booked today's schedule. He will leave the palace to inspect the canal in a while."
Lin Zhiya smacked her lips, Zhao Chen was indeed too hardworking.
She thought that since she had nothing to do anyway, she might as well go out of the palace and check out the canal.
Soon, Lin Zhiya agreed to go and drive out all those who came to pay their respects.
After everyone left, Lin Zhiya opened the system and used the fortune-telling technique to check her luck. Tsk, it turned out to be an ordinary day.
Lin Zhiya was startled when she casually glanced at Zhao Chen's fortune again, and her eyes widened slightly.
Zhao Chen is so unlucky. It seems that all his luck has been used up since he became emperor.
It only said on the fortune card: Today's fortune is poor, avoid traveling and work, there is a high probability of floods, be careful of drowning, the God of Wealth is in the northwest.
