The secrets of the government behind the scenes are revealed, and all the villains are on their knee

"This……"

The amount was so large that even Minister Jiang was shocked.

"If the Imperial Concubine wants to kill my subordinate, just take him directly. Why humiliate him in this way?" The guard looked indignant.

Lin You blinked, "I didn't ask you to pay the fine."

The guards were confused.

Everyone was confused.

"My subordinate made a mistake, it's because my master didn't discipline me well, so the fine should naturally be paid by my master."

After saying that, Lin You turned around and looked at Shen Yu, who had a sullen face. "Prince Yu, you are handsome, kind-hearted, and have a wealthy family. I'm sure you can afford a mere 10,000 taels of silver, right?"

Although the original owner was not welcomed in the general's mansion, she was married into the palace after all. Even if the Lin family disliked her, they could not let her be too cold.

So the dowry converted into silver would be around six or seven thousand silver coins, with grandmother contributing the most. She couldn't let the old lady's hard work be tarnished by Shen Yu, so the extra money would be considered interest.

Shen Yu's fists behind his back were already throbbing with veins, but he could only pretend to be generous and put on a smile, "Of course I can."

Now that Lin You is standing next to that loser, it would be a disaster if her dowry stayed with him.

Moreover, Shen Yu will prove that he did not rely on women to get to the top.

An hour later, Lin You sat in Yunqian Palace and opened the boxes one by one, all of which were filled with silver.

[Haha, I finally got back what belonged to me! ]

"Ahem, enough of what we've seen. Let's move all these fines to the treasury."

Shen Jing'an's words were like a basin of cold water that thoroughly poured over Lin You's surging heart.

It’s terrible that she actually forgot there was such a master in the palace!

"Your Majesty, look at how hard I work to attend court, and after court I have to deal with these traitors outside the palace. As the saying goes, even if I have no merit, I have worked hard, right? These..."

Lin You looked at Shen Jingan pitifully and spoke in a soft voice.

Shen Jing'an's Adam's apple rolled, and he glanced away unnaturally, "If you don't put the fine silver you took back from Prince Yu into the national treasury, it's inevitable that someone will criticize you."

Hearing this, the light in Lin You's eyes dimmed instantly.

"But, I can use the silver in my private vault to replenish you in full."

"what?"

Shen Jing'an suddenly added a sentence and Lin You was stunned.

"Use the silver in your private vault to replenish me?"

"Well, I will give you whatever silver you have from my private vault."

He knew that this was Lin You's dowry, but if she asked for it back in this way, it could only be put into the national treasury.

So right now, this is the only way to make it up to her.

"Your Majesty, I really love you so much."

Lin You held Shen Jingan's face and kissed him.

The sudden kiss stunned the young emperor, and his amber eyes stared at the little woman in front of him.

--

"Your Majesty, Miss Lin Xue is here."

After Lin You and the others left, Shen Yu was so angry that he smashed several teacups. The front hall was now in a mess, with no place to step.

He hated Lin You, but he couldn't accept Lin You's transformation. The previous Lin You clearly loved him deeply.

"boom."

Another teacup fell out.

He didn't hear what the butler said at all.

"Um……"

A weak hissing sound was heard, and a figure in a moon-white dress stood in front of the door. Shen Yu looked up, and Lin Xue's delicate face was imprinted in Shen Yu's eyes. His expression tensed, and he stood up and was about to step forward, but the housekeeper stopped him, "Your Highness, wait a minute, be careful not to cut your feet."

As the housekeeper spoke, the servant waiting outside immediately came forward to clean up the debris on the ground.

But before they had finished cleaning up, Shen Yu had already strode out. Even though his foot was injured, he resolutely walked to Lin Xue, looked at her nervously and grabbed her, "Xue'er, are you hurt?"

Lin Xue's eyes turned red and she nodded, "Yeah, it seems like my foot was hurt."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu immediately picked up the man and carried him into the house. He ordered someone to bring medicine and applied it himself.

Lin Xue lowered her eyes and looked at him, "My Lord, why didn't you come to see Xue'er these past two days?"

Ever since she left the Ministry of Justice, she has been staying in her boudoir. She thought Shen Yu would come to see her, but she waited night after night and no one came.

Until today, she couldn't help but ask her maid to find out, and she heard that Lin You carried away several boxes of silver from Prince Yu's Mansion, and that he brought a country woman into the mansion the day before yesterday.

She couldn't wait any longer, so she could only look for him at night.

Shen Yu paused, stood up, and sat next to Lin Xue. "Recently, our plans have been disrupted one after another, and we are caught in public opinion, so we can only avoid suspicion for the time being."

Lin Xue had naturally heard about the matter between Imperial Physician Chen and Minister Li. She nodded and agreed with him.

but……

"My Lord, I heard that you..."

"Xue'er, do you still have the Heart-breaking Powder you made?"

Lin Xue's words were blocked, and she shook her head, "The ingredients for Broken Heart Powder are hard to find and difficult to make. Xue'er doesn't have any left."

Duanxinsan is the poison used on Doctor Chen and Li Changgong. This poison can be taken orally or applied on wounds, allowing the toxin to quickly enter the internal organs, causing death in an instant.

At that time, poison needles were hidden in the pens given to Doctor Chen and Minister Li. Once their hands were pierced, the poison would enter their bodies.

"Then Xue'er, can you make some more?"

Lin Xue frowned. Shen Yu's grip on her hand suddenly intensified, hurting her. Seeing that she looked strange, Shen Yu quickly released his hand. "I'm sorry, Xue'er. My recent plans have always been ruined by Lin You. Those lackeys have betrayed me one by one. Just in case, I must prepare more Heart-breaking Powder."

Lin Xue lowered her eyes slightly, pursed her lips, and felt a little embarrassed.

She happened to meet an old man selling the Heart-Breaking Powder on the black market, and she... didn't know how to make it.

Her best medicines are aphrodisiacs and some laxatives.

Although she had tried to study it, she couldn't even identify the medicinal ingredients used in the Duanxin Powder.

Later she went to look for the old man, but never met him again.

"Xue'er, if we want to become the most honorable woman in the Great Sheng Dynasty, no, the most honorable woman in Jiuzhou, we have to do whatever it takes, otherwise we will be trampled under the feet of Lin You and that loser Shen Jing'an."

Seeing Lin Xue in trouble, Shen Yu just thought that she was kind and couldn't bear to use the Broken Heart Powder to harm other people's lives again.

"Okay, Xue'er, go back and make some more. However, the ingredients for the Broken Heart Powder are hard to find, so it may take some time."

Right now, she can only use this excuse to slow down the process. She will secretly have people step up efforts to find the old man.

She just didn't believe that the old man with limited mobility could walk to the ends of the earth.

By then, she would ask the old man to be her master, and she would be able to learn the Duanxin Powder.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yu kissed her on the forehead lovingly, "My Xue'er is unique. Not only is she proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she wins first place in the women's category every year, and she also knows medicine and poisons. It is my great honor to be with Xue'er."

Lin Xue was praised so much that the gloom between her brows disappeared and a smile appeared on her face.

But at this moment, a woman's voice suddenly sounded at the door.

"Your Majesty, Meimei made some sweet-scented osmanthus cake for you..."

Lin Xue looked over and met the eyes of the woman at the door, her pupils suddenly froze.
