Chapter 544: A Hero Becomes a Bear
Although the third and fourth children were born of Concubine Lin, the queen is indeed their aunt, there is no doubt about it.
So in front of his aunt, Long Yintian naturally had to correct his attitude and maintain due respect.
Standing up from the chair, he said falteringly: "This... is to open a few casinos among the people, raise some thugs privately, and let those officials' children in the court go to the casino to gamble. Accidentally those thugs ran into the father, that's it..."
After a pause, Long Yintian added: "However, I think, elder brother must have been confused for a moment to make such a big mistake."
momentary confusion.. such a big mistake..
The two words refer to scrutiny!
One is to explain the authenticity of this incident from the side, which cannot be denied by him, and the other is to emphasize that it is an unforgivable 'big mistake'!
Don't look at the fourth prince who is usually sunny, but in the dark, he is also a powerful character!
Qian Duoduo was in the back hall, clutching the curtains and scratching and scratching. After avoiding herself, she was blatantly ignored.
That casino was obviously brought up for a group of people when I was visiting Weifu privately!
She was the one who was beaten for Mao, and she was the one who was cheated of money for Mao. Now he has become a hero, but she has become a bear!
But Qian Duoduo is still a smart girl, she knows that Xiao Si is deliberately ignoring her to protect her.
It's just that when she thinks of her two hundred thousand taels of silver notes, her heart and the blood dripping are all golden.
"Your Majesty, is there some misunderstanding in this? Chao'er is a great prince, and he is not short of gold and silver treasures at ordinary times. How could he set up a casino privately?"
In fact, the queen had heard about the casino a long time ago, and many things were secretly helped by her confidant Guangfeng.
Unexpectedly, it was shaken out by the emperor.
Now, she can only pretend to be crazy, to find excuses for Long Chaohan, and to find a way for the emperor.
"Misunderstanding? Look at the bills yourself."
The emperor randomly picked up an account book and threw it to the empress. The empress turned a few pages, her expression froze for a moment, full of astonishment.
Tens of thousands of taels to hundreds of thousands of taels~ It was more than what he collected in half a year from Shengchen.
The queen's face was ugly, her mind was running at high speed, thinking of some reason to stop the emperor's mouth.
Suddenly, eyes were wet, and the queen also knelt down on the ground with a bang, her voice was sincere and sobbing: "The emperor atones, this matter is also the fault of my concubine.. After a while, it will be my concubine's birthday. Complaining in front of the son, the birthday banquet in the palace is like this every year, and the rare treasures brought by the ministers are getting more and more boring. Maybe Chaoer heard these words and was extremely filial to his concubines, so he came up with this idea. What a foolish way, I want to hold a special, grand and gorgeous birthday banquet for my concubine."
The queen's words were tragic and touching, and immediately portrayed the corrupt and bribe-taking Long Chaohan as a dutiful son who raised funds for his mother's birthday.
Qian Duoduo hid behind, incomparably surprised.
I really want to jump out now and tear up the hypocritical face of the queen.
But the emperor was so easy to fool, the empress heard that she was full of loopholes as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Happy birthday? Filial piety? Then Long Chaohan not only has filial piety, but also has the ability to predict? This gambling house has been around for two years. Could it be that he started planning a birthday banquet for you two years ago? ?”
