Rebirth of the Imperial Uncle's Medical Concubine

Wang Ping came out and said to Song Yunshu, "Sir Song, please!"

Song Yunshu walked in with a nervous mood. As soon as he walked in, he saw that the emperor looked very bad. Song Yunshu knelt down and saluted and said, "Your Highness, I, Song Yunshu, greet you! Long live the emperor!"

The emperor snorted coldly and said to Song Yunshu, "Do you really want me to live forever in your hearts? I see you all want me to die quickly!"

When Song Yunshu heard the emperor's words, he was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground and said in a trembling voice, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

The emperor snorted coldly and didn't let Song Yunshu get up. Song Yunshu didn't dare to move. He just stayed like that until the emperor had read most of the memorials on the table. Then he looked up at Song Yunshu and said, "Okay, get up!"

When Song Yunshu heard the emperor's words, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up. Maybe he had been kneeling for too long, and when he stood up, his legs went weak and he almost kneeled down again. Fortunately, Wang Ping beside him was quick to pull him back.

The emperor glanced at Song Yunshu coldly, and said to Wang Ping, "Bring a stool for Lord Song."

When Song Yunshu heard the emperor's words, his legs became weaker with fear. Just as he was about to kneel down, the emperor continued, "Sit down and talk. I have many more questions for you!"

Song Yunshu had no choice but to thank him and sit down, reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

The emperor had a strange smile on his face and said to Song Yunshu, "Sir Song, I wonder if the repair money is ready!"

When Song Yunshu heard His Majesty ask this, he became even more nervous and said to His Majesty, "This...this...!"

The emperor slammed the table and shouted, "What is this? Are you not ready yet?"

Song Yunshu was frightened by His Majesty's slap on the table and fell to his knees. He felt a sharp pain in his knees and took a deep breath. He endured the pain and said quickly, "This minister deserves death!"

The emperor snorted coldly and said to Song Yunshu, "Why do you think you can handle it, or do you think he can stand up for you?"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Song Yunshu understood that the emperor knew everything and was just waiting for the evidence in his hands.

Song Yunshu thought about the disdainful look of Duke Xu, and then thought about why he wanted to leave since he had nothing to gain.

Although Song Yunshu had been helping Duke Xu get money from the Ministry of Revenue, Song Yunshu had never taken a penny.

Duke Xu didn't know that Song Yunshu had evidence, so he had always been very confident in Song Yunshu. After all, without him, Duke Xu, Song Yunshu was nothing!

When Song Yunshu heard His Majesty's words, he immediately felt a sense of redemption and took a deep breath. He said to His Majesty, "I have a memorial to make."

When the emperor heard what Song Yunshu said, he gave Wang Ping a look, and Wang Ping took everyone away, leaving only the emperor and Song Yunshu. The door was also controlled by Wang Ping, and no one dared to come forward.

The emperor saw that only he and Song Yunshu were left in the room, and said in a cold voice, "Get up, sit down and talk!"

Song Yunshu slowly stood up, sat on the chair he had just sat on, and said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, Duke Xu repeatedly asked me to give him the repair money on the grounds that he was my teacher, and he would find someone to transport it to Jiangnan. I thought that was Your Majesty's arrangement, so I let Duke Xu do these things. Unexpectedly, Duke Xu found me again yesterday and asked me to prepare 600,000 taels of silver, saying that Your Majesty had ordered the Third Prince to transport it to Jiangnan Prefecture. But before, it was 500,000 taels, but since this year's taxes have not been collected, I can only take out 300,000 taels out of the 600,000 taels! So I would like to ask Your Majesty to make the decision!"

When His Majesty heard the 600,000 taels, his expression became even more grim. He sneered and said, "Are you sure that Duke Xu told you 600,000 taels, not 500,000 taels!"

Song Yunshu quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Yes, I'm sure!"

The emperor said to Song Yunshu again, "Do you have his account books from previous years?"

Song Yunshu nodded and handed the account book he had copied today to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor took it and read it word by word. The more he read, the angrier he became. At the end, he slammed the table and said, "Okay, okay, my Ministry of Revenue has become the private treasury of Duke Xu!"

Song Yunshu was not afraid this time. Instead, he looked at the emperor calmly and waited for his next arrangements.

The emperor looked at Song Yunshu and said to him, "Who else knows about this account book besides you?"

Song Yunshu shook his head and said to His Majesty, "Your Majesty, no one knows except me."

The emperor nodded and said to Song Yunshu with a smile, "Okay, then you can arrange the repair money now, and I will take care of the rest."

Song Yunshu quickly bowed and said, "Yes! I understand."

Just as Song Yunshu was about to leave the emperor, he stopped her again and said, "You are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, the consequences will be...!"

Song Yunshu quickly bowed and said, "I understand. I will withdraw now."

The emperor nodded and signaled Song Yunshu to leave.

As soon as Song Yunshu left, Wang Ping walked in.

When the emperor saw Wang Ping coming in, he sneered and said, "It seems that the third brother has a big heart. The people he raised have even bigger hearts."

Wang Ping saw His Majesty like this and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty, perhaps the Third Prince had no choice."

The emperor sneered at Wang Ping and said, "Do you believe such a thing? I don't believe it anyway."

Wang Ping stopped trying to comfort the emperor after hearing what he said. After all, no one would feel comfortable with such a thing. This was not just about the throne, but also directly shook the foundation of a country.

Song Yunshu walked out of the palace gate and looked at the sunset in the distance. The afterglow dyed half the sky red. Under the reflection of the sunset, it was like a golden painting. The towering gate tower on the city wall revealed the vicissitudes of time.

The streets in the city are narrow and winding, and the stone pavement is polished to be as smooth as a mirror. On both sides of the road are rows of ancient buildings with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings. The red walls and green tiles look particularly solemn and elegant in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The street vendors began to pack up their stalls, ending a busy day. Citizens returned home one after another, their figures gradually moving away in the afterglow. Occasionally, the sound of horse hooves would break the silence, and then disappear at the end of the street.

The sun gradually sets and the night falls quietly. Sleeping in the tranquility, waiting for the arrival of a new day. Song Yunshu is also waiting for his own new day.

Duke Xu had received the news since Song Yunshu entered the palace, but until Song Yunshu left, no one knew what he talked about with the emperor?

The people around Duke Xu said to him, "Duke, maybe His Majesty is suspicious of us, so he sent Song Yunshu to go."

Duke Xu shook his head and said to the people around him, "Impossible, he won't betray me!"
