Chapter 999
Princess Lao Shou was choking. At the beginning, she noticed something and felt that the late emperor was really too good to the emperor. She didn't take Lao Jiu seriously when she was a child. Later, Lao Jiu became more and more outstanding as she grew older.
So she always feels that she won’t ask Lao Jiu to pick peaches, right? After all, the royal brothers in front can’t stand the First Emperor, but no matter how much she turns, is it?
Her man is still ranked sixth, and she is the one with greater chances.
So occasionally when she meets a banquet, she will give her a few words and run the queen without a child in the courtyard.
There is nothing to say when the queen talks about this.
"The past has passed. Now you are the queen, who can compete with you? But even if there is no way, the prince is wrong now. The title has been reduced and the money has been fined. Can you just let the prince be released?" Princess Old Shou said with tears in her eyes.
Empress Xiao said indifferently: "The harem cannot interfere in politics. This is the first palace rule in the harem. I am the queen, and I can also interfere with the emperor's handling of the government affairs of the court? Isn't this a difficult situation for me?"
"I also know that the queen is embarrassed, but I can't do anything about it. Queen, let's take a look first. This is my gift to the queen." Princess Old Shou said, and gave the woman beside her a look.
Without saying anything, the woman presented a box to the queen. Queen Xiao took a look at the opened box. What was placed inside was full of silver notes or a thousand taels of denomination. Such a thick stack may cost tens of thousands of taels!
Even Queen Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly after seeing it, and said, "What does Liu Sister-in-law mean? Can you bribe me?"
"What's the matter with Empress? When you gave birth to the second prince, I didn't give me any generous gifts. The two princesses behind me are the ones. These are all made up by the sixth sister-in-law!" said the old princess.
"The gift is too heavy, I can't bear it. I can take it back to my sixth sister-in-law. As for the matter of Lao Shou, it is really not easy to deal with." Queen Xiao said: "This time the matter is not small. What kind of temperament of the emperor? Liu Sister-in-law, you know that Lao Shou is the first to be a successor."
Princess Lao Shou said, "I know, but I just want to ask the queen for help. As long as you go to the emperor for a pleading, it will be enough. Whether the prince can be rescued depends on your life."
Queen Xiao glanced at her and said, "I also know that Liu Jie is worried about Lao Shou King, but this fact is not easy to deal with. But since Liu Jie is begging me, I am not good at doing nothing. I will take the box back to my sister-in-law. I will go to the emperor to tell me."
"Thank you, Empress, please rest assured. No matter whether you can forgive the prince's sins or not, this box has nothing to do with me." Princess Lao Shou hurriedly got up and saluted.
After the old princess Shou returned, Empress Xiao said, "Check how many I gave me."
Zi Su made a brief comment and finally it was 50,000 taels of silver notes, which was naturally a considerable silver notes.
Queen Xiao said: "I have hidden so many mineral veins in private. It's true that I'm so full of food. I can easily take action for tens of thousands of taels!"
"Su Wen has heard that there were 3,000 diners at Prince Shou's mansion and delicacies every time. This method of making money is indeed shameful!" Zi Su said.
Queen Xiao said, "Put it away."
Zi Su hesitated a little and said, "Empress, if she can't save the old Shou King after taking her silver bill, would she be troubled?"
"Does she dare?" Queen Xiao said indifferently: "The title of prince has been deprived of, and her reputation has become bad. What is left of her? Do you dare to go against me? And who has seen me receive her silver bill?"
Zi Su chuckled: "What the Empress said is."
After a while, Empress Xiao brought people to the Imperial Study Room.
"Why is the queen here?" Qin Heng glanced at her.
"I asked the emperor to go over for dinner. Although the government is busy, the emperor must also remember to take good care of the dragon body." Queen Xiao said.
"The queen is intent." Qin Heng nodded.
"My sister-in-law Liu came to the palace today, so I went to sit down." Queen Xiao said.
Qin Heng's face was flat and he said, "What did Princess Lao Shou tell you when she came in?"
"This time, the old King Shou made a big mistake, and she came in to plead with mercy." Queen Xiao said.
"So the queen is here to plead for Lao Shou King?" Qin Heng glanced at her.
"I am not so confused. The harem cannot interfere in politics. I am the queen and I must set an example. This is the matter of the previous dynasty. Moreover, the matter is very important and cannot be easily spared by pleading for mercy. Otherwise, if everyone imitates it, there are rules to say?" Queen Xiao said.
Qin Heng snorted coldly: "I trust them too much, so that they have hidden the mine veins!"
"They?" Queen Xiao was slightly stunned: "Who else?"
Qin Heng naturally wouldn't say that Qin Xuan was one of them. He could basically be sure that Qin Xuan had it, but this kid was extremely cunning. He hadn't even asked him to find out any trace over the years.
But the more he was, the more suspicious he was. After all, the expenses in the Qin King's Mansion were really not something his industries could afford.
But even if someone respects him, it is not enough to spend as much as the Qin Palace. Where does that money come from?
This time he was giving Qin Xuan the opportunity, not only him, but also other private mine veins, all of which were like this.
If he reports it, he can not pursue it. If he asks him to find it later, he will never let it go!
"Let's see if they have any intentions." Qin Heng said lightly.
Queen Xiao then knew it and said, "Old King Shou is not young at all. Can the emperor let him be released from prison as soon as possible?"
"No need to mention the Queen. I have a decision to take over this matter. Queen, let's go back first. I promised the Sixth Princess tonight to go to Weiyang Palace for dinner." Qin Heng said.
Queen Xiao nodded and returned to Fengqi Palace and sent a message to Princess Old Shou.
The emperor does not allow others to plead for mercy. The second is to let Princess Lao Shou spread the word: "The emperor wants to thoroughly investigate the private mining veins this time. If there are still people who can hand over the veins in their hands to the court, the evidence of the crime in the previous one will not be investigated, but if the emperor is asked to find out, it will inevitably be severely punished!"
Princess Lao Shou naturally knew what he said, so she spread the news, saying that the emperor wanted to check the mine veins again. If the mine veins in his hand could be handed over to the court, the court would pardon him for no guilt. Regardless of whether he was mined or not, he would not report it to the court within three days and would be verified in the future and would be severely punished!
News soon spread in the imperial capital.
I don’t know about other mansions, but there is news on the Qin King’s Mansion.
Qin Xuan naturally heard that so far, the mines in his hands had only been mined for 100 or 100 times, but even so, the money he earned could make him spend money like soil.
