Chapter 158. Everyone Lying at the Door
Emperor Wenxuan slipped and almost fell off his seat.
He looked horrified.
"Kill...kill all the way to the East Palace?"
Could it be that the prince, that idiot, has done something stupid again?
"No...no, I heard...I heard that it was to support...back up the Crown Princess." Eunuch Cao also heard the message from the little eunuch who reported the news. All the big men looked unhappy.
"Supporting the Crown Princess means the Crown Prince has made a mistake!"
Emperor Wenxuan stood up suddenly.
"no!"
"I want to go over and watch, to prevent any major incidents from happening again."
Emperor Wenxuan looked frightened, but the smile deep in his eyes betrayed his desire to eat melon.
East Palace.
A charcoal fire is burning in the house.
On the soft couch, a beautiful girl was holding a book in her hands and eating the snacks fed by the maid with her mouth open.
Very comfortable.
"My Lady Concubine..."
Concubine Lu raised her eyes to glance at the person who came, and after sending the servants away, she sat up straight.
The person who came was a nanny in the Crown Princess's courtyard.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
The nanny's face was filled with a flattering smile. "My Lady Concubine, I have completed all the tasks you assigned me. The remaining money..."
She rubbed her withered hands, feeling a little embarrassed.
Concubine Lu glanced at the personal maid beside her.
The maid understood immediately and took out a hundred taels of silver from her bosom and handed it to her with an expressionless face.
The nanny took it in her hand, and her old face suddenly became stiff.
outside the house.
All the servants in the yard were controlled by the people brought by the Queen Mother, while Yunhua and the Queen Mother were either lying at the door or with their ears pressed against the window.
As soon as Emperor Wenxuan walked in, he saw everyone eavesdropping and the corners of his mouth twitched.
He glanced at the little girl quietly, lifted his dragon robe and squatted beside her.
Yunhua was so scared that she almost howled!
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Yunhua lowered his voice, but kept his mind on the room.
"This is my palace. Why are you allowed to lie in the corner, but I am not allowed to lie in the corner?"
The prince silently withdrew his gaze, looked at the second brother who was baring his teeth at him, and sighed.
Ever since this little girl came here.
Everyone in the palace was led astray by her...
Then he couldn't help but move closer to the door.
inside the house.
The nanny felt the weight in her hand was not right and asked cautiously, "Miss Qiutang, this silver... is it not right?"
There is only one hundred taels in this purse.
Qiu Tang chuckled, "That's right. I gave you 100 taels before, and with these, the total is 200 taels."
Mammy's expression changed slightly.
"Miss Qiutang, we clearly agreed beforehand that you would give me another 500 taels of silver after the matter was completed. You... this is unacceptable..."
His son owed five hundred taels of silver in gambling debts and was waiting for this money to save his life.
Qiu Tang's eyes darkened as he approached the nanny and said coldly, "Mammy, it's better not to be too greedy. Two hundred taels of silver is enough to cover your wages for several years."
If I hadn't seen her desperately trying to raise money, I wouldn't have given her this opportunity.
The nanny looked at Concubine Lu, only to see that she was concentrating on the book in her hands and not paying any attention to her at all. She couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
【This master and servant are really stupid! 】
[She does things for you, but you still withhold her wages. Aren't you afraid she'll turn against you?]
The judge's pen made a poof sound.
This scene reminded it of the evil-minded King of Hell, who assigned it so much work every day without giving it any benefits.
so...
It rebelled against the King of Hell, stole the treasure, and ran to the human world to find Huahua.
The Book of Life and Death slapped it, [Watch your show carefully! ]
The nanny was unwilling to give in, so she stepped forward and knelt in front of Concubine Lu, still trying to please her with her expression.
"My Lady Concubine, please have some pity on me. I risked my life to drug the Crown Princess as you requested, ruining her body. This money is what I deserve."
"And... moreover, I'm still waiting for this money to save my son's life. Please be kind and give me the remaining four hundred taels."
The nanny kowtowed several times.
Qiutang's face turned pale. Doesn't this old guy understand what people say?
"Mammy, take the money and go down quickly. If you disturb the Concubine again, you will suffer the consequences."
The nanny, whose head was still knocked on the ground, looked increasingly gloomy.
She looked up suddenly.
"My Lady Concubine, Miss Qiutang, if you really want to do this, aren't you afraid that I will report you to the Crown Prince?"
[Wow, this is going to be a falling out!]
Yunhua took out a piece of cake from his arms and ate it with relish.
"Are you threatening me?"
Concubine Lu's expression froze and she put the book down casually.
The voice was as sharp as ice, with a hint of anger, pinching Mammy's cheek.
"Report me? Mammy, don't forget that you were the one who drugged the Crown Princess. Do you think you can get away with it?"
"Take the money and shut your mouth. I believe I don't need to teach you what to say and what not to say, right?"
From the very beginning, she had no intention of letting go of the nanny who had the upper hand over her.
Now, it's just about letting her live a little longer.
"If you still want to die..."
Concubine Lu stared at her coldly, her tone full of threats, "I can't guarantee that you can walk out of the East Palace alive..."
Mammy shuddered.
She looked at Concubine Lu in front of her with horror, and began to back out.
But when she thought of her son's gambling debts, she had to continue crying and begging.
"My Lady Concubine, how dare this old slave threaten you? It's my son who owes money to someone else. If you don't pay it back, he will break your hands and legs."
"I beg the Concubine to give me the remaining silver."
Concubine Lu frowned in disdain. She looked up at Qiu Tang beside her and said, "Give her another hundred taels."
Mammy was startled.
One hundred taels?
"My Lady, it's still... still not enough, my son..."
"I'm so anxious!"
Yunhua shouted at the door in a shrill voice.
"If this woman refuses to pay you, go ahead and beat her up. You have the upper hand over her anyway, so why should you be afraid? The worst that can happen is that you both die together."
Yunhua's voice reached the ears of several people in the room, startling them and making them shudder.
Several people who were eavesdropping outside the house turned their heads to look at her.
Qiutang's eyes turned cold.
He took a step forward and opened the door. Looking at the people standing at the door, his pupils dilated instantly.
My knees went weak.
He knelt on the ground with a plop.
"Your Majesty, Your ......"
Qiutang felt dizzy and only two words flashed through his mind.
It’s over!
Emperor Wenxuan glanced at her coldly, and when he was about to raise his foot, Yunhua took the lead and kicked Qiutang into the house, hitting the nanny.
[We agreed that I would seek justice for my little beauty. How could I let the emperor cut off my beard?]
