Chapter 170 (2/2)
Qin Yu'an looked up at the beam above his head and couldn't help touching his smooth neck. In the side Library of Taiyi hall, Shao Zhan's officials whispered with each other with the memorial just approved by the prince.
”Huang Zhan Shi, how did your highness criticize that fold in your hand? It's clear that I want the Ministry of accounts to approve the money for the construction of the river bank, but your Highness has instructed the Ministry of works to handle it? ”
”That's pretty good. The military department is always responsible for the salaries of my nine sides, but your highness let the account department follow up...”
”What do you mean, your highness? Is he going to break the conventions of previous years and shuffle the cards again? ”
”Ah... Who can tell this...”
A group of people are like headless flies, all without backbone.
”But are these discounts distributed or not?”
Some people ask, but no one dares to answer.
Xiao RUIZHAO sat in front of his book case, holding a cinnabar pen, but he didn't write.
The bright red cinnabar drips down the tip of the pen and spreads like blood on the memorial paper.
”Your Highness...” Chang Dehai, who was standing on one side, looked at him and quickly reminded him.
”I'm distracted.” Some restless Xiao RUIZHAO put down his cinnabar pen, helped his forehead and stood up, pacing slowly in the Taiyi hall.
Chang Dehai is very skilled at inserting the dust on his arm to his waist, grabbing a handful of gold powder and sprinkling it on the memorial with cinnabar dripping just now, then printing the cinnabar with white paper, and then placing the memorial on the desk in a regular way.
”Xiaodezi, you will straighten out the whole night for me again.” Xiao RUIZHAO turns twice in the hall alone and stops suddenly.
”Yes, your highness!” Chang Dehai dare not have different, also will that day
They come back from the town government after getting drunk, and then go to Youlan hall to sit down. Jiang Liangdi orders people to carry a bowl of wine soup and tell them all about it.
Xiao RUIZHAO narrows his eyes and listens carefully, for fear that he may miss any clues. He thinks he is not a person who values sound and lust. How can he be good, but he suddenly sleeps Jiang Liangdi's cousin? It was like a knot in his heart, which made him uneasy during the two eclipses.
”You mean Jiang Liangdi ordered people to wake up?” He felt as if something was flying in his mind. ”Did she prepare it beforehand, or did she order someone to cook it temporarily?”
Maybe he was too drunk that day. He could hardly remember what happened that day.
”It was Liangdi who ordered the mother Qin beside her to cook in the small kitchen after she looked at your Highness's wine and even walked askew.” Chang Dehai recalled the scene two days ago and answered honestly.
”That is to say, it's just Jiang Liangdi's temporary intention to cook the soup?” Xiao RUIZHAO also looked at Chang Dehai fiercely.
Chang Dehai trembles in his heart. His highness of the secret way won't doubt that he is complicit with Jiang Liangdi, will he?
”I don't know.” Dare not jump to a conclusion of Chang Dehai carefully replied.
Xiao RUIZHAO glanced at him coldly and said, ”what happened later?”
”Later, Mammy Qin brought the soup. First, the maid tried the poison with silver needle according to the custom, and then called a little servant to come and have a try. After about a quarter of an hour, the servant did not dare to serve it to your highness until he saw that there was nothing different.” Chang Dehai lowered his eyelids and answered honestly. Xiao RUIZHAO secretly worries that Chang Dehai is in strict accordance with the rules, and there is nothing wrong to choose.
Is he wrong? There's nothing wrong with that bowl of sobering soup?
