1073. Chapter 1073 Funny

Behind her were the Empress Dowager's curses. Ye Zhen pretended not to hear them. She walked out of the bedroom and came to Murong Ke. She tilted her head and showed a shallow smile. She asked in a brisk tone, "Sixth Prince, are you here?" How long have you been listening here?"

Murong Ke had a slight smile on his lips. He arrived just as Ye Zhen entered the bedroom. He originally planned to stop Yaoyao from going in to see the Queen Mother, but when he saw Xiao Qi beside her, he knew there was nothing to worry about.

He knew that Yaoyao was a kind and soft-hearted person, and thought she would be persuaded by the Queen Mother. Unexpectedly, what he saw was Yaoyao on the other side. She was like a female warrior, holding armor and sword to protect her beloved. Human beings would not allow the Queen Mother to hurt the Emperor's heart again, which made him feel sour and bitter.

If it were him, would she speak for him like this and feel sorry for him?

You can't think of this answer, because your whole heart will hurt when you think about it.

"The Emperor knew that the Queen Mother wanted to see you, and he was afraid that you would be soft-hearted and come to stop you. You came here first anyway. The Emperor asked me to watch because he was afraid that the Queen Mother would hurt you." Murong Ke cast his eyes on Xiao Qi, "However, Obviously the Queen Mother doesn’t want to get close to you.”

Ye Zhen followed his gaze and looked at Xiao Qi, the smile in her eyes spreading like fireworks, "Xiao Qi is bored in the palace, I just took it out for a walk, I didn't think too much about it."

Murong Ke couldn't help but laugh, feeling that Yaoyao was so naughty and cute sometimes, "I'll send her away tomorrow, don't worry."

"I know." Since the Queen Mother cannot be killed, then she should be sent to a far away place so as not to disgust herself in the palace all day long. Ye Zhen simply agrees with Mo Rongzhan's decision.

"Then... you go back. It's time for me to go and talk to the emperor." Murong Ke said in a low voice. Even if he wanted to stay a little longer, it would have been difficult for him to see her before today. In the future, he could only In front, the harem was not a place he could enter at will.

Ye Zhen frowned slightly and asked, "Is the Emperor still busy? Have you all eaten?"

Murong Ke was stunned for a moment. They entered the palace without even having lunch today. It seemed that they had not eaten anything until now. Now they had even ordered dinner.

"I know he doesn't remember anything when he is busy." Ye Zhen said angrily, "Go and tell the imperial kitchen to send some meals to the emperor and several adults. They should be simple and can withstand hunger."

The eunuch following Ye Zhen immediately whispered his promise.

Murong Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The emperor was discussing matters with the ministers and forgot about it when he got busy."

"Hurry over and have something to eat. What should you do if you're starving?" Ye Zhen hummed, "What's more important, your health or your work?"

"Yes, in accordance with the Queen's decree, I will go back immediately and watch the Emperor eat." Murong Ke said, holding back his laughter.

Ye Zhen chuckled, suddenly thinking of her father and brother, "By the way, how are my father and eldest brother?"

"The emperor has already had all the adults released from the prison. Mr. Lu is now in the imperial study. Mr. Lu seems to have received an errand and is working outside with Marquis Jingning." Murong Ke said.

"That's good." Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. Before she came back, what she was most afraid of was that the Queen Mother would hurt her family. Fortunately, she was fine.

Murong Ke knew that he could no longer stay and talk, so he slightly handed over his hand, "Yaoyao, I'll go back first."

Ye Zhen smiled and nodded.

Merongyi brought over a large pile of account books. Not only the other ministers, but also Murong Zhan were shocked. He did not expect that there were so many account books, and he remembered every loan borrowed clearly, even Even the purpose of borrowing money is marked.

"In the first year of Wenxuan, King Tong of Nanyue borrowed five million taels to build his government... In the eighth year of Wenxuan, Prince Hao borrowed three million taels of silver..." Mo Rongzhan picked up an account book at random and looked at it. There was an old debt from ten years ago, and no one was able to pay it back.

"Your Majesty, this is a lot of money." Mr. Xu said to Mo Rongzhan holding the account book.

"It's a lot of money. It's definitely not easy to get it back." Mo Rongzhan snorted coldly. Otherwise, why hasn't he paid back a single amount of money in so many years?

The late emperor's treasury must have been piled high with money, and he would not refuse anyone who wanted to borrow money. It is difficult for him to worry about money now.

"Yes, some of these people have ascended to heaven. How can we get them back?" Huang Chan said.

"It is only natural that a father's debt should be paid by his son." Murong Zhan said coldly, "Call the people from the household department and ask them to calculate the total number of this account book overnight."

"..."

The minister in the imperial study was crying silently in his heart, he was so hungry! I was still feeling uneasy in the morning, wondering if the emperor would not be able to eat much at all. I haven’t eaten anything since lunch. Although there is a constant supply of tea in the imperial study, the more I drink, the hungrier I get. Look. The emperor's attitude is that he plans to continue the discussion until tomorrow.

Ouch, that's really going to starve to death.

When Murong Ke came back, he found that there were many people in the imperial study room. Murong Zhan was still scolding the person who borrowed the money, but did not notice that he was back.

He walked up and saluted, "Your Majesty."

When Mo Rongzhan saw him, he finally put down the account book in his hand, "Is everything quiet in Cining Palace?"

"When I arrived, the Queen Mother was already talking to the Queen Mother." Murong Ke stepped forward and whispered, briefly telling Murong Zhan what Ye Zhen said to the Queen Mother, "...I can't interrupt. ”

"Why did Yaoyao go to Cining Palace? The Queen Mother didn't do anything to her, right?" Mo Rongzhan asked with raised eyebrows.

Murong Ke laughed and said, "The Queen is accompanied by Xiao Qi."

Murong Zhan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and pursed his thin lips tightly to prevent himself from laughing out loud. His Yaoyao was really a clever guy.

"Let the Queen Mother leave the palace at dawn tomorrow. I don't want to see her again." After Mo Rongzhan smiled, the smile on his face turned cold.

"Yes." Murong Ke responded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Shouldn't we let the adults have something to eat and rest first?"

Murong Zhan was startled, and then he remembered that they hadn't eaten anything all day long.

Those ministers' eyes were filled with stars, but they did not dare to look at Murong Ke for fear that the emperor would see that they really wanted to eat.

"The Empress has asked the imperial kitchen to prepare meals. If you don't eat anymore, she will probably come to serve the emperor in person." Murong Ke said in a low voice. If Yaoyao was not carried out, he felt that the emperor might not be willing to stop to eat. of.

Murong Zhan laughed out loud, "Then let's stop and go to the side hall to have a meal first. When everyone from the household department is here, we can settle the account books together."

Including Mr. Xu, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. I really don't know what the Sixth Prince said to the emperor, but he was able to make the emperor stop and rest with a smile.

No matter what, take a break as soon as you can. There are so many account books and I don’t know when they will be cleared.
