Chapter 1382: The Queen (5)
Chuzheng took out the newly issued banknote from Wangzhe and handed it to Suxue, asking Suxue to take it out.
Suxue: "..."
When did the Queen Mother stuff so many banknotes into her body?
wrong……
When did they have so many banknotes?
As the general manager of Anning Palace, Suxue went out holding the banknotes in confusion.
The ministers were just wondering when they heard Chu Zheng's voice: "If anyone catches the murderer within five days, the thirty thousand taels will belong to him."
The mission just released by the King!
Isn't it just for this time?
Simply perfect!
【...】No, thank you! !
Wangzhehao said that he had a headache and wanted to go offline slowly.
The courtiers below were already shocked to the spot.
Thirty thousand taels!
For ministers whose monthly salary averages 150 taels, this 30,000 taels is a huge sum of money.
Now as long as the murderer is caught, whose thirty thousand taels will belong to him?
The little emperor twisted half of his body and looked at his 'mother' in shock. So much money?
"Do you have any opinions, sir?" Chuzheng asked them in a loud voice, ignoring the little emperor.
Opinion?
What can they say?
The Queen Mother offered money to catch the murderer.
In this court, there are not many people who don't like money, but there are a lot of people who like money.
-
Prince Regent's Palace, study.
The Prince Regent stood in front of the birdcage and played with the bird. The bird had plump and beautiful wings and was chirping.
The sound is bright and crisp, very pleasant to the ear.
The regent teased the bird happily: "You said the Queen Mother sent people to investigate the case?"
"Yes, the Queen Mother offered a price of 30,000 taels, saying... whoever finds the murderer within five days will get the 30,000 taels."
"Then what?"
"...There is no more."
Rumors about a monster harming people had been circulating in the city for a while.
However, the regent kept silent and did not mention it in the court.
But today he did not go to court, and officials who had problems with him immediately reported them to the court.
The regent thought that the young emperor and the queen mother would not make any decisions, but unexpectedly, they gave him a surprise.
The regent's eyes darkened again as he thought of what happened before.
The Prince Regent closed the birdcage: "Where did she get such money?"
The person who responded thought for a moment and shook his head, not sure.
Even if Tai Tu is a fictitious position with no power, he should still have thirty thousand taels.
Maybe it was reserved for her emergency use.
I didn't expect that she would take it out and let people find the murderer.
The regent looked at the little guy jumping around in the cage, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a smile.
Has the caged bird started to stretch out its claws?
That would be interesting.
Regent: "What's going on with Rong Ji?"
"I went to the Taifu's house early in the morning and I haven't left yet."
"Going to Tai Tu's Mansion..."
What was Rong Ji doing at the Taifu Mansion at this time?
He had been back for half a month, and he wanted to see the Taifu when he couldn't, but he chose the time after confronting him.
What does Rong Ji mean?
And the Taifu Mansion...
The regent felt that this Rong Ji was even more hidden than his imperial brother and was unpredictable.
"Keep an eye on his movements."
"yes."
-
the other side.
When Chu Zheng returned to the palace from the court, the little emperor ran out in a hurry.
"Mother."
Chuzheng: "..."
It's really good to be a mother... Chuzheng clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves and calmly displayed the majesty that a 'mother queen' should have.
Be a good person every day!
"Mother..." The little emperor ran closer, but his voice became weaker.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chuzheng had no choice but to ask, "What's the matter?"
Your mother, I want to go back to bed!
If it's okay, don't block it!
The little emperor saw the indifference on Chu Zheng's face, and his expression actually showed a bit of hurt: "Mother, where did you get so much silver?"
"Do I still need to report my private money to you?"
After all, I am the queen mother of a country. Thirty thousand taels is too much? !
This Queen Mother is too boring!
Little Emperor: "..."
Chuzheng asked impatiently: "Is there anything else?"
The little emperor was coy, but he was still a child: "Mother, I want to have dinner with you."
He ignored the original owner before, but the original owner eagerly approached him.
Now that Chuzheng was ignoring him, the child couldn't help it anymore.
Chuzheng was silent for a moment: "Have you finished approving the folds?"
If the emperor doesn't approve the discounts, how can I have anything to eat with him?
Am I a girl who can have dinner with you?
"..."
The little emperor's face fell instantly.
Then his eyes lit up: "My son, I can take it to my mother's harem for approval."
Chuzheng: "..."
I see you want to find someone to give you coupons!
"Aren't you ignoring me all this time?"
"...I know I was wrong." The little emperor apologized quickly.
Chuzheng: "..."
Eunuch Yangde, the little emperor's eunuch chief, took the little emperor all the way to Anning Palace with the book.
The little emperor did not dislike this queen mother.
After his father left, he was suddenly pushed into this position, and she was always by his side.
From comforting himself at the beginning, to accompanying him to court later, and dealing with court affairs that he didn't understand at all.
But some time ago...
They had a quarrel over academic matters, which resulted in a tense relationship.
When she saw herself before, she spoke softly, for fear that she would still be angry.
But today...
She is too cold.
Only then did the little emperor panic.
The little emperor stared at Chu Zheng's back, feeling that something was different about his mother.
But what was different, he couldn't tell.
"Mother, why is it so hot here?" As soon as the little emperor entered the palace, he felt a sweltering air coming over him.
"I feel hot too."
If it weren't for the limitations of the times, she would have worn a tank top and pants.
I'll wear it secretly when no one is around!
The little emperor frowned: "Didn't anyone send an ice mirror?"
Chuzheng: "..." And this thing?
The wisdom of ancient people should not be underestimated. On such a hot day, there must be something to cool down.
It's just that Chuzheng has just arrived, so she hasn't had time to think about many things in detail.
The little emperor suddenly turned around and asked Yang De: "How do the internal officials and prisons do things?"
Eunuch Yangde has not been to Anning Palace for a long time. He does not know the inside story at this time and can only answer cautiously: "Your Majesty, I will ask you now."
"Go and call the internal officials and supervisors." The little emperor had been the emperor for a while, and he had gained a bit of the dignity of an emperor.
Eunuch Yangde responded and hurriedly asked someone to call the eunuch in charge of the imperial eunuch's handprint.
-
Someone from the inner prison came quickly. As soon as the person came in, he knelt down and saluted. He looked frightened. Those who didn't know it thought the young man sitting in front of him was a man-eating demon.
"Who are you?"
Although the emperor is young, his memory is not bad.
He remembered that the eunuch in charge of the imperial palace was not this person.
"Your Majesty, this servant is the young eunuch of the inner prison."
The little emperor's face sank, and his childish voice rose louder: "Where is the eunuch of the palm print? I called him, what are you doing here!!"
Cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead, and he didn't seem to know how to answer.
"Why are you so stunned when I ask you a question?" Eunuch Yangde kicked him: "Answer Your Majesty."
The young eunuch was kicked and tilted. He met the little emperor's gaze and kowtowed violently: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Eunuch Chang was summoned by Concubine Xuan."
