I'm Not a Playboy
Chapter 5
Consort Gao went, Gao Bin was arrested, and the Gao family was going to fall.
Er Qing lay on the bed and rubbed the swelling on her forehead. She wanted to send a message to her grandfather and ask him to help her vent her anger!
She didn't know that the Gao family wasn't arrested at all. They were gathered in Gao Bin's house outside the circle.
Instead, it was Consort Gao's words before she died that aroused Qianlong's interest.
"Go investigate the Hitara family. See if there's a case of a leopard cat swapping the crown prince!
Focus on protecting their family, especially that Er Qing! "
If it was someone else, it wouldn't matter. It didn't concern them.
But if something happened to the Empress's chief maid, Qianlong felt that he wouldn't be able to sleep.
What did she mean by sneaking into the Empress's side? Was she using this opportunity to assassinate him?
Whether it was true or not, Er Qing couldn't stay in Kunning Palace for the time being … It just so happened that she couldn't serve Yung Yin recently, so she could stand aside for now.
She didn't know what kind of powder was used on the stick, but it made Er Qing itchy all over. She scratched herself so hard that she couldn't bear to look at it.
The imperial physician checked and said it was a skin disease. It might be contagious.
But in the imperial family, it was better to kill the wrong person than to let them go. Er Qing was secretly sent to a village outside the capital that day.
Recuperating was secondary. The main thing was to investigate her background.
Now that Er Qing, as the chief maid, was gone, Ming Yu became the Empress's chief maid.
Wei Yingluo took over Ming Yu's previous position.
"I thought you were quite interesting before. I hope you can relieve Yung Yin's boredom more when I'm not by Yung Yin's side."
The Empress heard Qianlong say that Wei Yingluo was interesting and became interested. She asked how Wei Yingluo was interesting.
Qianlong originally thought that it would be easier to observe the female lead of Yanxi Strategy by his side. He didn't expect the Empress to be so serious.
As for what was interesting about Wei Yingluo …
Got it!
"Yesterday, when we came to Kunning Palace wearing the imperial bodyguard's uniform, many palace maids mistook us for Fu Heng and surrounded us.
When I heard from Li Yu that only Wei Yingluo didn't go, I felt that she was quite interesting … "
Eunuch Li, who was suddenly pushed to the side by The Emperor, thought, 'That's right. I did say so. It's like this …'
"Tell me, what kind of man do you like?
There are plenty of bodyguards around me, and there must be one that you like. "
Qianlong calmly changed the topic, making Wei Yingluo blush.
The Empress pushed Wei Yingluo to let her go out so that she would not be teased by The Emperor again.
"What's interesting about Yingluo? I think The Emperor is the interesting one." The Empress's casual words drew out Qianlong's anger.
When Qianlong just picked up the Empress and planned to have sex with her in broad daylight, the Empress Dowager's mammy came and said that the Empress Dowager invited The Emperor over.
Although it was still fire, the attribute changed.
If he didn't know that he was wearing Yanxi Strategy, Qianlong would have thought that he was wearing Zhen Huan Zhuan.
Was this Niohulu old lady really the original owner's mother?
Qianlong was at the entrance of Cining Palace. He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Greetings to Empress Dowager."
"I heard that Consort Gao also disappeared last night?
The harem has lost two concubines during this time. Last time, only one was selected in the consort selection, and I forced her to stay.
The Emperor, what do you want! "
The Empress Dowager was angry. Qianlong felt that he was suffocating.
Everyone thought that the Emperor was rich, but anyone who became the Emperor knew how miserable the Emperor was.
There was a lot of money, but it couldn't withstand the demand for silver everywhere. Moreover, it was all exorbitant.
"Zhen wants silver!"
Qianlong shouted and felt a lot better.
The Empress Dowager saw that the Emperor was forced to such a state. How empty was the treasury?
Was it even emptier than when the previous Emperor had just ascended the throne?
"Zhen will not only not accept new people in the harem, but the number of eunuchs will also be reduced. The time for palace maids to leave the palace will be reduced from 25 to 18!"
Qianlong's tone seemed to be telling the Empress Dowager one thing: Zhen only came to inform her, there was no room for discussion.
The Empress Dowager was speechless. She even forgot the purpose of asking Qianlong to come to Cining Palace. The Niohulu girls still hadn't caught Qianlong's eye.
After leaving Cining Palace, Qianlong went to the Imperial Clan Court.
"Tenth Uncle, have you thought about it?
It's no use pretending to be crazy … Zhen has already found the crew of the ship. Zhen has also contacted some of Ninth Uncle's subordinates.
Zhen is not the kind of person who wants to save face and suffer. Zhen is very pragmatic … Zhen is poor. Zhen wants silver! "
Qianlong sat on a small stool and talked for a long time to Yinu, who was lying on the ground. Finally, Yinu sneered.
"You are interesting. You are exactly the same as Fourth Brother.
I just don't know if Fourth Brother will be angry enough to visit you in your dreams after knowing that you said he wants to save face and suffer. "
Visit him in his dreams?
Qianlong couldn't wait for the Fourth Master to visit him in his dreams.
In addition to meeting the famous Fourth Master, he also wanted to stick out his small chest and wait for the Fourth Master to praise him.
"So be it. Zhen can pat my conscience and say that Zhen has done his best … If Zhen had a brother like Uncle, Zhen wouldn't have to worry about losing hair."
Hong Ri was always worried about death. Hong Zhan was not even as old as Yonglian.
Qianlong's words made Yinu close his eyes and fall into deep thought.
Feeling that there was hope, Qianlong had been waiting for the moment when Yinu agreed.
"I can promise you, but I have a condition. You must promise me.
Change Eighth Brother's and Ninth Brother's names back and re-record them into the jade disk. "
"New Year's Eve" and "Everyone is dead" had always been the two magic weapons to ease conflicts.
Qianlong agreed to Yinu's request without even thinking about it.
Not only did he agree to re-record them into the jade disk, but when he came back from overseas business and earned money, he could even be conferred the title of King.
When Qianlong suddenly announced this matter in the morning court the next day, it was no surprise that it was opposed by all the courtiers.
The words they said were all the same.
Qianlong's rebuttal had been prepared for several years. He put his hands on his hips and scolded them one by one. After an hour, there was still no repetition.
"Zhen has no more money. Zhen has already confiscated the Gao family.
Tell me, whose family will I confiscate next?
Zhen has already confiscated all of your families. Zhen will confiscate the next batch of families?
Do you think Zhen is harvesting leeks? "
"The Gao family embezzled several million taels of silver. It's too easy for them to die like this.
Since you're not going, what's wrong with letting them atone for their crimes?
Eighth Uncle and Ninth Uncle's subordinates had overseas experience. Why can't Zhen use it?
Zhen's court is for recruiting talents, not a pig farm!
Each of you used practical actions to prove to Zhen that you are a bunch of stupid pigs! "
Qianlong rambled on for a long time, but the courtiers below were silent.
They didn't say anything, but Qianlong didn't forget that there was another voice of opposition from before.
"Also, don't think that Zhen doesn't know what you're thinking by digging a hole to send your daughters into the palace. Don't you want to give birth to a prince with your family's bloodline? Then you'll rack your brains to kick Zhen and Yonglian out and replace them?
Zhen is telling you, dream on! "
"Yonglian is Zhen and Empress Amma's chosen crown prince. Yonghuang and Yongzhang are Yonglian's right-hand men!
If there are any princes in the future, they will be born from Zhen and the Empress. Zhen is this domineering!
If anyone dares to talk nonsense about how the Empress is jealous, Zhen will pull out your tongue! "
After Qianlong finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and announced the end of court. However, the courtiers below still didn't seem to have recovered.
