Rebirth of the Imperial Uncle's Medical Concubine

After a series of psychological struggles, Duke Xu finally said to His Majesty seriously, "This old minister doesn't know either?"

The emperor sneered at the two men and threw Xiao Hanqi's memorial in his hand directly to them. He said to them viciously, "Look, how the county magistrate of Jiangnan Prefecture impeached you!"

Duke Xu was surprised and picked up the memorial thrown by the emperor on the ground with Xiao Tianming, opened it and began to read.

Duke Xu and Xiao Tianming became more and more frightened the more they read. It was said that Jiangnan Prefecture had not received any repair money in recent years, and that there were some clues during the investigation. They hoped that the emperor would grant another repair fund to repair the dam.

After reading it, Duke Xu calmed down and said to His Majesty, "This old minister will find out where the repair money went as soon as possible."

The emperor sneered and said to Duke Xu, "Duke, let's wait and investigate. Now that you know the truth, ask the Ministry of Revenue to prepare the money as soon as possible and have the Third Prince personally deliver it to Jiangnan Prefecture!"

When Xiao Tianming heard that there was something he could do, he immediately bowed and said, "Yes, I will definitely send the money for the repairs to Jiangnan Prefecture."

The emperor looked stern and said slowly, "I hope you won't just talk nonsense!"

Xiao Tianming was so frightened when he heard this that he immediately promised, "Your Highness will never let me down!"

After hearing the two's assurances, the emperor smiled and said to them, "Well, hurry up and prepare. The rainy season is only half a month away. Send it as soon as possible!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he asked the two to leave without waiting for them to say anything else.

Duke Xu and Xiao Tianming walked out of the imperial study. They looked at each other without saying a word and went straight out of the palace.

The emperor watched the two men leave, sneered and said to Wang Ping beside him, "Did you see that these two are playing tricks on me. Humph!"

Wang Ping smiled as he handed over the tea in his hand and said, "No matter how cunning you are, you can't escape the eyes of His Majesty!"

The emperor laughed and said to Wang Ping, "You are still good at talking."

Wang Ping smiled and said nothing, but he became more cautious in his heart!

After Duke Xu and Xiao Tianming left the palace, Duke Xu went directly to the Ministry of Revenue.

As soon as Duke Xu entered the Ministry of Revenue, he saw a man wearing a dark blue brocade robe with exquisite cloud patterns embroidered on it, which symbolized auspiciousness and nobility. He had a wide jade belt tied around his waist, and the jade belt was inlaid with several warm Hetian jades, which further demonstrated his noble status. He wore a black gauze hat with a pearl on it, which sparkled.

The Minister of Revenue also saw Duke Xu, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said, "Student Song Yunshu greets the Duke."

That's right, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was a disciple of Duke Xu, and Duke Xu even had him assassinated because of his position. The previous Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was an upright person, and it can be said that he was against Duke Xu everywhere. For this reason, Duke Xu thought of a way and had someone drug him, and he died not long after.

The current Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Song Yunshu, was promoted at that time.

Duke Xu said to Song Yunshu with an unpleasant expression, "Yunshu, I have something to say. Let's go to the study!"

When Song Yunshu saw the grim look on Duke Xu's face, he knew that the matter was serious, and hurriedly took Duke Xu to the study.

After the two of them entered the study, Song Yunshu told someone not to see anyone!

Song Yunshu invited Duke Xu to sit up, and stood aside, saying to Duke Xu, "Teacher, what happened?"

Duke Xu sighed and said, "That's it. The matter of Jiangnan Prefecture has been exposed!"

Song Yunshu asked anxiously when he heard this, "How is that possible? There is no news from Jiangnan Prefecture!"

Duke Xu said angrily, "Something has happened in Jiangnan Prefecture, otherwise there would be no news!"

Just when Song Yunshu was about to say it was impossible, a carrier pigeon flew to Song Yunshu's windowsill.

Song Yunshu looked at Duke Xu, who motioned for Song Yunshu to take it. Soon Song Yunshu took the letter off the pigeon and handed it directly to Duke Xu.

When Duke Xu saw the contents of the letter, he was so angry that he slammed the table and sneered, "Okay, okay! This Prince Han really dares!"

Duke Xu handed the letter to Song Yunshu. Song Yunshu opened it and read the contents. He said to Duke Xu in surprise, "Teacher, did the King of Han go to Jiangnan Prefecture without permission?"

Duke Xu was about to admit it, but when he thought of the emperor's tone just now, it shouldn't be the case. Duke Xu said to Song Yunshu affirmatively, "It seems that the emperor allowed Prince Han to go to Jiangnan."

When Song Yunshu heard what Duke Xu said, he said excitedly, "Does His Majesty already suspect us?"

Duke Xu shook his head and said, "Even if he suspects something, His Majesty won't say it directly, so you can rest assured. But we still have to be careful. I'm here for the repair money. We have to prepare it this time and let the Third Prince send it directly to Jiangnan Prefecture!"

Song Yunshu looked at Duke Xu in surprise and said, "This time, the Third Prince will deliver it. I wonder how much the Duke plans to prepare."

Duke Xu directly extended five fingers to Song Yunshu and said, "50 taels!"

When Song Yunshu heard the words "five hundred thousand taels", he widened his eyes and said to Duke Xu, "Five hundred thousand taels, isn't that a bit too much? Besides, we don't have that much money now!"

Upon hearing this, Duke Xu said excitedly, "How could there be no money? The previous renovation fee was also 500,000 taels! And now it is arranged by the emperor himself!"

Song Yunshu stammered and said to Duke Xu, "Teacher, that... that... the previous... repair... repair money... has already been given to you. Now we really have nothing left in the Ministry of Revenue!"

When Duke Xu heard what Song Yunshu said, he immediately flew into a rage and said, "Then find a way. I must see the five hundred thousand taels within three days!"

Duke Xu left immediately after saying this, without caring about Song Yunshu's embarrassment.

Duke Xu left, and Song Yunshu lost his temper. He said to himself helplessly, "What should I do?"

Xiao Tianming was so angry that he smashed several cups. Ye Yi said to Xiao Tianming, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Xiao Tianming said angrily, "My father asked me to go to Jiangnan Prefecture to deliver the repair money. Isn't it obvious that I know where the repair money is going? My father directly doesn't trust me."

Ye Yi understood what Xiao Tianming meant and said to him, "Your Highness, this time you can only send the repair money safely, otherwise something will really go wrong!"

Xiao Tianming sat down on the chair angrily, panting and saying, "This prince understands, but now I want to know who has such long hands!"

Ye Yi thought for a moment and said to Xiao Tianming, "Could it be Prince Han?"

When Xiao Tianming heard that it was Prince Han, he snorted coldly!
