MTL - My Beloved Concubine Only Wants to Eat Melons-Chapter 94
Zhu Shu really didn't expect that the little Xiangzi she found was obviously a little **** from the Internal Affairs Bureau who often ran errands in and out of the palace gate, and was also very close to the guards guarding the palace gate. How could he be easily caught by them today?
Could it be that little Xiangzi sold her on a whim?
But she gave Xiao Xiangzi twenty taels of silver for running errands, which was quite a lot. Besides, Xiao Xiangzi didn't know what she was going to do, so there was really no need to betray her?
But no matter what, facing the queen mother's inquiry at this time, she still didn't want to just admit it...
Unexpectedly, when she was thinking about an excuse quickly, Yan Shu suddenly said, "Could it be that Miss Zhushu has a crush? Could it be that your crush is from that bookstore?"
What?
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
You must know that giving and receiving privately between a court lady and a foreign man is also a top-ranked crime!
Zhushu was excited, and hurriedly said, "No, no, the manager of the bookstore is a fellow villager of the servant, and the servant just asked him to help the people who called back home to bring the letter to the family. The money is also wanted to be transferred to him."
Hearing this, Yanshu raised her eyebrows, "It seems that this shopkeeper of the bookstore is very kind, and if Miss Zhushu entrusts him with the money, she is not afraid that he will swallow it privately."
However, the queen mother didn't believe it anymore, and still said coldly, "Didn't you just ask that little **** to help you? Now you have become the one who runs a bookstore? You are in the palace all day, when did you recognize your fellow countryman?"
Then he ordered Fu Hai, "Give that letter to Ai's family."
Fu Hai should be so, hurriedly took out a letter from his sleeve, and presented it to the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager took it over and saw that there was no writing on the envelope. She opened it again and found that there were a few words on the paper inside, which read, "Young Master Xiaoyao is probably a woman in the palace."
Yan Shu was certain in her heart, but she looked at the queen mother with a surprised look on her face, "Ma'am, why... Miss Zhushu wrote such a letter to my family?"
The Empress Dowager's face was completely gloomy, she looked at the bamboo book and said, "Who is this writing for?"
Zhu Shu's face was already pale, but he bit his lips and did not speak.
It was Fu Hai who took the initiative and said, "I want to report to the Empress Dowager, according to the little eunuch's account, it is going to be sent to a bookstore called Bamian Bookstore at the south end of Gongyuan Street. That bookstore has been open in the capital for fifty or sixty years, and it is one of the best in the capital." In addition to selling stationery, the big bookstore also hires people to write scripts and sell them for money. However, it seems that it is not the one that publishes scripts for Young Master Xiaoyao."
After the words fell, Yan Shu couldn't help but secretly yelled - Mr. Fu can do it! In such a short time to inquire so clearly!
Thinking that she was so focused on thinking of a solution just now, she didn't have time to ask the system clearly.
But he heard the system say, 【The rich manager has been in the capital for decades anyway, and he usually follows the emperor, and he may be asked something at any time, so he can't keep his eyes open and his ears listening to all directions? Naturally, what the master wants to know, he has to know. 】
Yan Shu, 【...Knowing that Mr. Fu is amazing, why don't you tell me what's going on with the Bamian Bookstore? 】
The system, [Is this unclear? This Bamian Bookstore is a well-known old bookstore in the capital, but it can only watch other bookstores sell your books to make money. It must be unbalanced. Those who imitated you to write novels are the ones they found Well, this time it's their choice. 】
Yan Shu sighed in her heart, 【Fortunately, Xueshi Zou didn't find them printed scripts for me. Such cunning schemes deserve to be unable to make money! 】
As she spoke, she still didn't understand, 【But Zhu Shu is a court lady, how can she inquire so clearly? As soon as I found it, I knew to break the news to the Bamian Bookstore? 】
System, 【The main owner of Bamian Bookstore, named Zhao Jingshi, has been sending messages everywhere in the past few days, saying that he will pay a lot of money to buy your news. 】
Yan Shu immediately became interested, 【A lot of money? ? ? Let's hear how heavy it can be? 】
Cough cough, she has to see what market price she is now!
Go and listen to the system, [Those who know your real name, twenty taels of silver; those who know your home address, thirty taels of silver; those who know your real identity, fifty taels of silver. 】
Yanshu "!"
Good guy, Zhushu is going to make a hundred taels all at once!
If I knew it was so easy to earn, let her do it by herself!
The system, 【...You are a concubine after all, are you short of money? 】
Yan Shu, 【Be prepared for danger in times of peace! It's hard to blame Bamian Bookstore for being so willing to spend money, isn't it? 】
Want her name, address, identity?
Heh, is it possible that the next step is to buy a killer to kill her?
What a Bamian Bookstore.
For some money, as for?
Of course, this is all for later.
At present, the Empress Dowager asked Zhu Shu in a cold voice, "What is this for? What is the intention of writing such a thing and sending it outside the palace?"
Zhu Shu hurriedly said, "Qi Madam, in fact, the servant heard that the bookstore was spending money to buy news recently, and wanted to give it a try. This is all made up by the servant..."
Before finishing speaking, the Queen Mother closed her eyes and said, "If you refuse to tell the truth, send it to the Inner Court Supervisor."
As he spoke, Fu Hai's name was already evoked.
Zhu Shu was taken aback, and finally cried, "I beg your mother to spare the life of this servant..."
The queen mother sneered, "How many lives did you intend to kill? Is one of your lives enough to pay?"
Zhu Shu just kowtowed and cried, "Your servant knows your mistake, your servant knows your mistake..."
The queen mother was too lazy to talk to her, and only told Fu Haidao, "For such a talkative person, it is appropriate to give her a pair of dumb medicine, and then distribute it to the bitter cold place in the border. Aijia treats her well, and she doesn't know how to cherish it. Tell her Let's reflect on it in the rest of our lives."
Fu Hai should be, so he ordered people to drag the bamboo book out.
For a moment, everyone in Ci'an Palace watched in horror, and no one dared to speak out.
—Everyone knows how much the empress dowager attached great importance to bamboo books.
now…
Alas, she deserves it too.
…
~~
After this matter was resolved, Yan Shuyuan returned to Ganlu Palace.
She knew that although Nanny Zhuang was also involved in this matter, it was Zhushu who came out ahead, so she could only deal with Zhushu first.
Speaking of it, she couldn't figure it out. According to the empress dowager's respect for bamboo books in the past, as long as the bamboo books are in good condition, in two years' time, it is very likely that the queen mother will choose a decent husband for her and tell her to marry well.
But why does this guy want to go against her instead of going on the broad road?
Could it be that if she is attacked by those who have a heart, the emperor will be able to look at the bamboo book?
Just as he was thinking so, he heard a voice from outside, "Your Majesty is here..."
Hey, is the emperor here?
Yan Shu came back to her senses, thinking that she just wanted to talk to this person, so she went to the door to greet her first.
"The concubine sees your majesty..."
Unexpectedly, before she saluted, Yu Wenlan had strode in and asked her eagerly, "How is it? Are you okay?"
Yan Shu immediately frowned and pursed her lips, and said with an angry look, "I have something to do."
Yu Wenlan was still a little puzzled, and said, "I heard from Fu Hai that the Empress Dowager asked someone to fill the bamboo book with dumb medicine and send it to the border. Could it be that you are dissatisfied?"
Yan Shu hurriedly said, "The empress dowager's punishment is the most appropriate, the concubine never thought of that."
Hmph, this person, don't try to provoke her relationship with the big boss!
Yu Wenlan, "..."
Where did he provoke...
He could only ask, "What else is there?"
But she looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Hasn't Your Majesty thought about what is the root cause of the matter at this time?"
Yu Wenlan said, "Isn't that woman harboring evil intentions and trying to murder her master?"
Yan Shu raised her eyebrows again, "Then why does the good bamboo book want to harm my concubine? Isn't it because she likes His Majesty? She thinks that if there is no concubine, His Majesty will like her. So the root cause of this matter is Your Majesty. "
Yu Wenlan, "???"
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether she was planning to blackmail him for some benefits, or if she really thought so.
But I heard her say in her heart, 【Huh, from being your target to now pregnant with a cub, is it easy for me to go all the way? From the beginning of Zhang Cairen, Wang Zhaoyi, Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning and Concubine Zhou to the present bamboo book, which one didn't harm me out of jealousy and hatred? I don't know what to do to recruit so many people! 】
Yu Wenlan, "..."
Well, that's what she thought in her heart?
But the ones in front were not recruited by him, they were selected by the Minister of Rites after asking the Queen Mother for instructions.
And Zhushu... is also a member of the Queen Mother!
But once he said it, he would be labeled as provoking her relationship with the queen mother again?
He had no choice but to follow her and said, "Well, Zhu Shu likes me, even if I don't know it, it's my fault."
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, she pursed her lips again and said, "I don't mean that as well..."
In fact, Yan Shu is also a little confused. It seems that because of her pregnancy, she has become more prone to emotional ups and downs recently.
Originally, I didn't think there was anything wrong, but when I saw him just now, I couldn't help but want to blame him.
At this moment, the system dinged, [Generally speaking, this kind of emotion is called... acting like a baby. Scientific research shows that the hormone secretion of pregnant women is different from that of ordinary people during pregnancy, and they are more likely to act like a baby to their dependent husbands. 】
Yanshu, "..."
【emmm, so you said, I was acting like a baby to the emperor just now? 】
Tsk, as expected, being pregnant is quite different from usual, it must be the fault of the cubs in the stomach!
But at the side, Yu Wenlan, who was listening silently, was stunned.
So she was acting like a baby with him?
It's really rare that the girl who only knew about money and food in the past finally knows how to act like a spoiled child.
Thinking of this, he was not only not angry at all, but full of tenderness, he stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms, and said, "This matter is indeed my fault, if I can find out that she has this idea earlier, and cut off the trouble earlier, I will also be able to deal with it." There is no need to make you anxious today."
Not to mention, it probably has something to do with the secretion of pregnancy hormones. Yan Shu has also found that she likes being held by him more and more recently. At this time, she lay obediently in his arms and said, "How did your majesty discover the idea of Zhushu earlier?" What about you? You don’t have the ability to read minds.”
Yu Wenlan, "..."
For a moment, she felt a little stiff all over, and she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, whether she was just saying it casually or trying to test him on purpose.
Fortunately, after listening quietly, she seemed to be just saying it casually, so she quickly echoed, "It's true, I don't have mind reading skills."
As she said that, she exhaled secretly again. Fortunately, she was stupid, otherwise wouldn't she want to reveal her secrets?
At this moment, Yan Shu said again, "By the way, the concubine almost forgot to tell His Majesty that there is a Bamian bookstore at the south end of Gongyuan Street, and the shopkeeper inside is jealous of the concubine's writing books to make money. Inquiring about the privacy of the concubine is probably intended to do something unfavorable to the concubine."
Yu Wenlan frowned immediately, "Is there such a thing?"
