Travel through ancient times and become a great hero
Chapter 38 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
In one night, Xia Luo emptied the assets of all the people associated with He Qing.
When I returned to Huaqing Palace, I saw Concubine Xi was still sleeping.
She entered the space, took a shower, and fell asleep on the big bed.
One morning, Nanny Qin knocked on the door.
Charlotte quickly left the space.
It seems that Concubine Xi has already gotten up and is sitting on the edge of the bed admiring the jade pendant.
Charlotte opened the door.
"Princess, the air is fresh in the morning. I want to take you out for some fresh air." Nanny Qin asked Charlotte in a flattering manner.
"Sure. But the queen has just gotten up, so have breakfast before going out."
"Then I'll wait for a while and serve the queen." Nanny Qin walked out of the room.
"My lady, do you think Nanny Qin is a little strange today?"
"Madame Qin has been by my side for many years. If she wanted to betray me, she would have done it long ago." Concubine Xi is a kind person, but she is soft-hearted.
"Maybe I'm just too suspicious. I have a pill here. If someone gets close to you when you go out, just take the pill."
Charlotte had to be on guard. She couldn't be with him all the time.
I have taken good care of the Imperial Concubine's health. I will be going back in the next few days.
She felt embarrassed to let Xia Yunyuan face such a large family business alone.
It's a partnership after all.
And she promised Situ Jin.
If there is danger at the border, she will lend him a helping hand. A man should keep his word.
Thinking of Situ Jin, Xia Luo felt a sense of longing.
Could it be that she has him in her heart?
Concubine Xi went out for some fresh air. Charlotte was thinking wildly while making medicine.
Suddenly I looked up and saw Xiao Dezi standing in front of me.
"Princess Huilan is very good at predicting things. Those people did not come to court today." From the relationship map given by Xiao Dezi, he knew that those people had been tricked by Xia Luo.
What he didn't know was that those people were corrupt officials. When something was missing from their homes, they didn't dare report it to the authorities or let anyone know.
I can only swallow my anger and suffer in silence.
"Convey the emperor's oral order. Princess Huilan is summoned to the palace for an audience." Xiao Dezi came to summon Xia Luo to the palace.
"Are we going to the main hall?"
Charlotte saw that it was still early and estimated that it would take some time for the emperor to leave court.
She put down the herbs and asked the maid to take them in.
"Yes, all the civil and military officials of the court are waiting in the main hall."
"Your Majesty is trying to suppress his imperial power."
"The queen is in good health now. I am going back to Willow Village. It's a good opportunity to say hello to the emperor."
When Charlotte heard that all the civil and military officials were present, she knew that the emperor was going to set rules for them.
As for the Queen, He Qing sent someone to deliver a letter early in the morning.
All the property of the He family was gone overnight.
Not even a tile on the roof was left.
He Qing looked at his mansion, it was empty.
My heart was hollowed out. I couldn't figure it out.
He had no choice but to take three days off, saying he had a cold and couldn't come to court.
More than a dozen officials associated with it.
They all came to He's house to complain early in the morning, but found that He's house was even worse off than them, so they all asked for leave, saying they had a cold and wanted three days off.
Charlotte followed Xiao Dezi to the main hall. It was Charlotte's first time to come to the main hall.
Every time I meet the emperor, I go to the imperial study.
So you can see only a few people standing there.
Charlotte almost couldn't control her emotions.
"Your Majesty. I, your humble servant Charlotte, greet you!" Charlotte knelt on the ground.
"Princess Huilan, please stand up. I hereby grant you a special permission: Princess Huilan will not be required to be polite when she sees me in the future."
"You have served my beloved concubine for many days and have helped the prince escape from danger. I will reward Princess Huilan with one million taels of silver, twenty pieces of Xiangyun yarn, one night-shining pearl, ten boxes of pearls and agates, ten boxes of Western objects, twenty sets of antique calligraphy and paintings, a farm in Ping'an County, a farm outside Kyoto, twenty shops in the city, and twenty shops in Kyoto."
He added: "Princess Huilan is hereby appointed as the Princess of Ping'an County. It will take effect immediately."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I feel so ashamed to accept this."
"I will be returning soon. I am very grateful for your care and concern for your Majesty for so many days."
The emperor wanted everyone to know that he rewarded Charlotte for a reason, so that those people would appreciate his kindness.
Also, the emperor is very smart and has won over Charlotte.
First, it helps my son.
Second, you can’t offend her, otherwise everything in the national treasury will belong to her.
Not worth the candle.
Third, she is a person who knows how to be grateful. If she is destined to have a son, the prosperity of the country is just around the corner.
Charlotte looked around at each minister. Everyone had a different expression.
"Since I have accepted the emperor's reward, I will also make a promise to the court after I return."
"The food, clothing, and equipment of the soldiers at the border will be provided by this county lady. This is to repay the emperor for his kindness in giving me a new life."
Among the stolen goods from corrupt officials, there were large quantities of food, clothing, and equipment. It was only natural to use them on the battlefield.
This is called taking from corrupt officials and using it on the battlefield.
As expected of the richest man, he spoke arrogantly. The ministers standing in the hall were speechless.
No one dared to say that they could supply cloth to the soldiers at the border. They didn't have the strength to do so.
He is a miracle doctor, but the reward from the emperor is not as much as that from a minor figure. This is called pattern.
The emperor was moved by Charlotte.
A woman, generous, intelligent, and wise.
The emperor wanted to give all his praise to her.
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave." Charlotte saw that it was time to go back.
"Well, my dear ministers, is there anyone who is dissatisfied with my reward?" The emperor looked up at the ministers.
"Princess Huilan deserves the title. She is a pillar of the country. I admire her!" The Left Prime Minister has always opposed the emperor's conferring of the title on Charlotte.
"I also reiterate my opinion. Princess Huilan has done immeasurable good deeds. I feel deeply guilty." The right prime minister also spoke.
The others said in unison that they had no objection.
Who has the nerve to say that? A little girl can shoulder half of the burden of the Mobei Kingdom. They only know how to shirk responsibility in the court. Some appear to be honest and upright, but are greedy in private.
Which minister’s house isn’t covered with gold, silver and treasures?
The suffering is borne by the common people.
As soon as Charlotte returned to Huaqing Palace, she saw Nanny Qin running back clumsily.
"Princess Huilan, please save the Imperial Concubine. She has suddenly fainted."
Nanny Qin's face changed.
"Quick, where is the queen? Take me there." Charlotte thought it was bad, and someone must have taken advantage of her.
Nanny Qin brought Charlotte to the back garden and saw the imperial concubine lying on a bench in a pavilion, with two maids serving her.
Charlotte came over and felt her pulse. Fortunately, the imperial concubine took the pill in time.
"Madame Qin, go find the butler and ask him to invite the emperor over."
"Xiao Yu, go to the Imperial Hospital and call the imperial physician over, and go directly to Huaqing Palace."
"Xiao Lan, go tell the Queen that the Emperor is in Huaqing Palace. If the Queen asks, just say it was your own idea."
They were all sent away. "My queen, who is approaching you? Don't open your eyes, I will give you an acupuncture right away." Charlotte whispered in the concubine's ear.
To outsiders, this action seemed like Charles was checking the concubine's condition.
"Madame Qin." The imperial concubine moved her lips.
"I know. The emperor and his men will be here soon. You should get some sleep first. When you wake up, the truth will be revealed."
Charlotte inserted a silver needle into the concubine's sleeping point and pulled it out.
Waiting for everyone to arrive.
"My beloved, wake up." The emperor came over and started calling the empress, but the empress seemed to be asleep.
"Take everyone to Huaqing Palace." The emperor gave the order. Even the maids and old women passing by were taken to Huaqing Palace.
