All my subjects want to usurp the throne

Chapter 240 Sharing worries for His Majesty is the job of a concubine

"There is Concubine Lao!"

Ling Xiao's tone was also extremely gentle. These days, he knew that Wu Zhao was busy, so he also worried about it with him.

"Your Majesty, when have you been alienated from me like this? A concubine should do these things. Your Majesty said so. Could it be that there has never been a concubine in His Majesty's heart?"

When Wu Zhao said this, he looked aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, I'm just afraid that you will be tired. These days, the three concubines are pregnant, and you are so busy, I can see it all!"

Wu Zhao felt warm in his heart when he heard this. It seems that His Majesty still has her in his heart.

In this way, even if she did more for His Majesty, she felt nothing.

Wu Zhao called the maid beside her to her, and then took the hangover soup from her hand.

"Come, Your Majesty~"

Wu Zhao's movements were extremely gentle, and he handed the spoon to Ling Xiao's mouth.

Ling Xiao really felt much more comfortable after taking a sip of hangover soup, and felt the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus between his lips and teeth.

Ling Xiao felt a little surprised for a while.

"This taste..."

"Your Majesty, last autumn, I picked some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers myself, and I wanted to make cakes for Your Majesty. This time, I added some to the hangover soup, in order to make Your Majesty feel refreshed even with the fragrance."

It turned out that, after hearing this, Ling Xiao knew that Wu Zhao was really smart and virtuous.

After a few sips, Ling Xiao couldn't drink anymore.

Although today is indeed the reunion festival, but thinking of what Yuan Shao said before leaving, he is really still worried now.

Wu Zhao saw this, so he didn't force it, and then ordered the maid beside him to bring the hangover soup down.

Seeing that His Majesty was worried at this moment, that slender hand slowly attached to Ling Xiao's temple, and gently rubbed it.

"Your Majesty has been worrying about the affairs of the people these days, but today is the Lantern Festival. I wonder why your Majesty is worried?"

Originally, Wu Zhao felt that His Majesty had a great time at the banquet today.

But who knew that His Majesty's brows were frowning at this moment, something must have happened to him.

Wu Zhao saw that Ling Xiao was silent, so he said again: "Your Majesty, no matter whether it is in the palace or outside the palace these days, everyone is saying that His Majesty is now a wise king, which means that the common people already know what His Majesty is What have they done, why is His Majesty unhappy?"

Thinking back to the beginning, Ling Xiao was an out-and-out puppet emperor in the minds of the people in the world.

At that time, everyone thought that the Qi Dynasty would be overthrown sooner or later.

But now, His Majesty has not only made the ministers in the court more and more happy, even the deeds in this palace are still widely circulated among the people, and now even those yellow-haired young men know what His Majesty did and said.

And Ling Xiao took a look at Wu Zhao, and didn't intend to hide it from her.

Now in this harem, she is probably the only one who can share her worries for the time being.

"My dear concubine, I don't know. Having said that, the people are still in dire straits, and the treasury is empty, so I am helpless!"

Wu Zhao remembered that someone came to the treasury to steal things a few days ago, and that person was just an ordinary citizen.

If it is not really urgent, it is impossible to embark on such a road.

This also really reflects the current people, and it is true that life is really miserable.

"Your Majesty, my concubine finds it really difficult to handle this matter now!"

Although Wu Zhao also wanted to help Ling Xiao, but now it seems that she can't help in this matter.

"Forget it, let me figure it out myself!"

Ling Xiao also sighed helplessly, now that this matter is on the table for him, who made him want to be a Mingjun?If the first emperor was here, would he care about the suffering of the people now?
"Well, Your Majesty, this concubine suddenly remembered something." At this moment, Wu Zhao suddenly exclaimed.

"Then tell me, what idea did you come up with?"

Ling Xiao wanted to hear it, he knew that Wu Zhao was extremely smart, if he figured out a way, that would be great.

At this time, she dispatched all the maids and eunuchs present, and Li Dequan was the only one left.

Wu Zhao knew that Li Dequan was the emperor's confidant, so even if he was present, it would not have much influence.

She knew that the current national treasury was empty, presumably Ling Xiao really couldn't afford the money to the common people, so she had to think of another way.

"Your Majesty, do you know that the wives of the censors in this court have more money than each other, and we don't want to find a way to get them to come up with more?"

As the saying goes, the wool comes from the sheep!

If even the Yushi's wives are willing to contribute some money, then these ministers in the palace probably won't dare to say anything more.

After all, only their wives are in charge of their family property.

Wu Zhao's words woke up Ling Xiao all of a sudden, this is not in vain a good idea!

Li Dequan next to him heard this and rolled his eyes. He had already heard in the palace that each of the Yushi's wives was richer than the other.

Although it is said that the wealth she usually shows is not exposed, there is really nothing wrong with the imperial concubine's method.

If it is said that if a little can be found from them, I am afraid that it will be more than enough to help the common people by then.

But thinking of this, Wu Zhao frowned again. Although she could think of a solution, how would she solve the problem?
Could it be possible for His Majesty to personally tell them to donate the money?
But none of these Madam Yushi is stupid, even if such a thing happens, they will definitely not say that they have some money in their hands.

Even at that time, they will only start to cry poor one by one, so His Majesty will have nothing to do with them.

But Ling Xiao didn't think so at this time, although he had never seen these Mrs. Yushi.

But he knew their status in the family, and their husbands would never dare to say anything to them.

If it is really possible to persuade them, I am afraid that the common people will be saved.

There is a way!

Ling Xiao suddenly had a sudden inspiration at this time, isn't it just to deal with these ladies?It seemed like he really had to use his trump card.

When Wu Zhao saw Ling Xiao with a smile on his face, he thought Ling Xiao wanted to laugh at her, so he quickly blamed himself.

"Your Majesty, it's all because I'm stupid. I came up with such a plan, but I didn't think about how to implement it. Your Majesty let Chenqie think about it. Maybe Chenqie can find a solution to the problem."

"Aifei, you don't know, you really helped me a lot! Your method works!"

She was stunned for a while after hearing this.

"Your Majesty is serious?"

"really!"

Ling Xiao didn't believe it, could there be something else he couldn't handle?
