One touch and one silence

Chapter 172: One conspiracy after another

When the nanny went out to do what the empress dowager had asked her to do, she saw the eunuch wandering around not far away.

Mammy's eyes flickered slightly.

"Don't come here if you have nothing to do. Do you think your life is too long?" The nanny scolded him in a low voice.

The eunuch turned around and left respectfully.

Only then did the nanny leave.

In the Dali Temple, Yuan Shaoqing and the Prime Minister recently had many people's homes raided.

What amazed them was that just a few dozen soldiers in the warehouse were able to seize tens of thousands of taels of silver.

There are still more than a thousand people, but none of them have copied it yet?

No wonder their families are all dressed in gold and silver and live a life that others envy.

No wonder so many people have participated in it. I'm afraid no one can resist such temptation.

If I continue copying like this, I might be able to recover some of it. Although it's not much, it can solve the temporary dilemma.

During this period, the people of the Jinwu Guard were very busy, and the people of the entire capital were in a panic, fearing that the next one would raid their homes.

Hundreds of people were hacked to death in succession, and the entire Caishikou was flooded with blood. People were so scared that they dared not step forward, for fear that the blood would get on their feet and give them nightmares when they returned home at night.

The prime minister thought that killing people like this was not a good idea, so he went to discuss with the emperor and decided to send all the people to mine.

The emperor thought it was feasible and a way to make use of waste, so he agreed.

Yuan Shaoqing and the Prime Minister divided into two teams and searched the house day and night.

Box after box of silver was brought into His Majesty's imperial study.

With the national treasury in such a state now, the emperor naturally no longer kept the silver in the national treasury. Instead, he temporarily stored it in the imperial study and sent heavy troops to guard it.

Liu Yue told Manager Xu what the Seventh Prince had said.

Manager Xu agreed immediately and started to arrange the matter.

He just needed to find an unfamiliar eunuch in charge, go to the Cining Palace, and give instructions to the young eunuch.

The rest is easy to handle.

Within two days, a major incident occurred in the palace. His Majesty was stabbed and injured.

As for the assassin, he had been executed. The emperor had his throat slit on the spot and then torn into pieces by five horses as a warning to others.

When the news reached the Cining Palace, the nanny was shocked. She had been dealing with the assassin's visit to Beijing in the past two days.

I didn't pay much attention to the boy, how come he died so soon?

The nanny walked nervously to the main hall and saw that the empress dowager was in a good mood to appreciate a painting.

The Queen Mother asked without even looking up, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"My lady, he is dead!"

"Who?"

The Queen Mother raised her head, but couldn't remember it for a moment.

"The one sent by the Deadpool Camp!" Nanny reminded.

"Oh! It's him!"

"Who killed him?"

The Queen Mother frowned, her expression not looking very good.

"To answer your Majesty, it is Your Majesty!"

"He found the opportunity so quickly?" The Queen Mother was surprised.

"Who said it wasn't? This is really good luck!" sighed the nanny.

"Have you seen the body?"

The Queen Mother still found it a little hard to believe.

"I've seen it, it's definitely him!"

The Queen Mother suddenly laughed.

"This is really destined. I must keep my eyes open in my next life. Very good."

"This matter is considered to be accomplished."

"By the way, how is Concubine Li De's child? It's time for him to come to the capital."

Only then did Mammy remember who it was.

"It should be pretty good. The information the madam passed on to me before, although not 100%, is at least 90% of the way there."

The Queen Mother was very pleased with this: "In that case, send her to Kyoto and put her in the largest brothel in Kyoto. Remember, you have to make a big splash and make sure the Crown Prince and the Emperor know about her and are attracted to her. Do you understand?"

Mammy nodded in agreement.

"Go!"

The nanny took one look at the empress dowager who suddenly looked very happy, and sighed inwardly.

The Queen Mother still can't let it go after all these years.

never mind!

This is not something for her, a servant, to worry about.

The Queen Mother looked at the painting on the table and liked it more and more. "Someone come!"

"Empress Dowager!" A maid walked in.

"Who sent me this painting of distant mountains? Go and give it to him.

"Yes! Queen Mother!"

After the maid finished speaking, she held the painting and left.

The Queen Mother was alone in the main hall, talking to herself.

"Yeah!"

"I really want to see this wonderful show with my own eyes."

The drama of the quarrel between father and son makes me feel happy when I think about it.

Father and son turned against each other because of a woman, hahahaha! How satisfying!

That man is not completely useless. At least the ideas he came up with are pretty good.

It can be considered as doing something that makes me happy.

In the entire imperial palace, the Cining Palace is probably the happiest place.

It was a relief for her to have the emperor kill one of her capable ministers.

The young man they thought was already dead was secretly sent to the East Palace.

When the prince returned to the East Palace, he inexplicably received a reward from the emperor.

At first, the prince really thought that the emperor had rewarded him with some good thing, but when he opened it, it turned out to be a little eunuch.

The prince's mind was full of questions.

Manager Xu smiled like a daisy, with wrinkles all over his face.

"My Lord, His Majesty said that this person is very important and needs to be kept with you. Please take care of him."

"Who is he?"

The prince looked at the unconscious eunuch in the box, his heart full of doubts.

"Your Highness does not need to know who he is, you just need to entertain him well."

"Your Majesty knows that you have two men in the East Palace, so just put them together and let them do the same things every day."

It seemed that his father was hiding something from him. At the same time, he was also a little afraid, because it seemed that his little actions could not be hidden from his father.

Those two people came into the Eastern Palace secretly, and no one knew about it except Chief Steward Li and the people in that small courtyard.

Originally they were two insignificant people, but now...

"I understand. Manager Xu can just go back and report back."

The prince smiled and asked Eunuch Li to send Manager Xu out.

When Eunuch Li came back, he saw his master still squatting beside the box watching the person inside.

"Little Leo! What do you think father means by this?"

"You're suddenly stuffing a man into your son's place?"

"Is it because you are lonely and haven't found a wife yet?"

Manager Li: ...

What kind of good father would put a man in his son's room? Has his prince been so busy lately that he has a problem with his brain?

"My Lord, that's not true! Your Majesty has his own deep meaning, but if you say that Your Majesty put a man in your room, I will never believe it."

Steward Li looked very confident, and the prince agreed to some extent.

"What you said makes sense. All right, send him over! Find someone appropriate to watch him. Look at his palm, I'm afraid he's skilled in martial arts. Find a secret guard to keep an eye on him at all times."

After saying that, he asked someone to carry the box out.

Nanzhi, who was leisurely basking in the sun, suddenly received news from outside the palace.

"Your Highness, they sent news that the man led his men all the way to the direction of Qilian Town."

Nanzhi, who was eating snacks, suddenly choked when she heard this.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Wh…what…what is this?"

Liu Yue considerately placed the ginseng tea next to Nanzhi's mouth, with a hint of blame in her tone.

"What are you in such a hurry for, Your Highness?"

"Next time if you do this, I won't tell you."
