The Regent's Concubine is Crazy

Chapter 214 No rush

In the court, the emperor's face was livid. He held the prince's IOU tightly in his hand and said in a cold and firm tone: "Send these IOUs to the ministers one by one."

Eunuch Chang immediately sent someone to deliver the IOU to several ministers who participated in the impeachment of the Regent Princess. When these ministers opened the IOU and saw the contents clearly, their faces turned pale instantly.

Yesterday, they had glanced at the IOU outside the Prince Regent's Palace, and they were dissatisfied, thinking that the Emperor had the final say, so they launched an impeachment against the Princess Regent at the morning court today. However, they never expected that the Prince Regent would openly bring the IOU to the morning court to demand the debt.

At this moment, these ministers felt a chill. They originally thought that they were standing on the moral high ground and could use the power of the emperor to suppress the regent and the regent princess. However, the facts caught them off guard and put them in an embarrassing situation.

Their eyes crossed in the court, their hearts filled with regret and helplessness. They realized that their actions not only failed to achieve the expected results, but also put themselves in a deeper predicament.

The emperor, standing aside, felt mixed emotions when he saw the reactions of these ministers.

The atmosphere in the court became extremely tense for a moment. Finally, the emperor took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress the anger and embarrassment in his heart.

The Regent Mo Shaoxie stood quietly by the side, watching everything nonchalantly, as if everything was under his control.

The atmosphere in the court was extremely tense. Mo Shaoxie's words, "Send the money before tomorrow, I don't want to keep idle people in my palace," were like a bolt from the blue, shocking the already nervous ministers.

They looked at each other, deep worry and helplessness in their eyes.

The ministers who were panicked because their sons were detained were even more anxious at this moment.

They were well aware of the regent's enormous power, and if they could not collect the ransom in time, their son would face an unknown fate.

So they all nodded and bowed, saying yes, and said that they would raise money to redeem their son as soon as possible after returning.

Mo Shaoxie nodded slightly to show his satisfaction, then nodded to the emperor and turned to leave the court. His steps were slow, and the emperor looked at Mo Shaoxie's back, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes.

After Mo Shaoxie left, the emperor's face suddenly changed. He looked at the ministers who had just bowed and scraped before the regent, and his heart was filled with anger. He shouted sternly: "You are really disgraced!"

Several ministers were so frightened by the emperor's angry rebuke that they prostrated themselves on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly and apologized: "Your Majesty, please calm down. We know we are wrong!"

The emperor was furious and pointed at their noses and scolded them: "Do you know what you are doing wrong? Do you know where you are doing wrong?"

How could they know what was wrong? Didn't the emperor lower his posture when the regent was here just now? They just lowered their posture even lower!

They could only silently endure the emperor's scolding. Finally, the emperor waved his hand and ended the morning court session. Everyone in the court retreated as if they had been pardoned.

And this farce of the morning court ended amid the emperor's anger and the ministers' panic.

……

In the Regent's Palace, Shangguan Ziling, wearing an elegant long dress, sat on a bench beside the lotus pond, holding fish food in her hands and carefully scattering it on the water.

The koi fish in the pond scrambled for food, creating ripples that set off her tranquil profile.

The butler approached with a warm smile on his face. He came to Shangguan Ziling, bowed respectfully, and said with a smile: "Princess, the ministers outside have sent silver. What do you plan to do with it?"

Shangguan Ziling turned her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "So soon? I thought they would at least drag it out for a few days." She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, seeming to be quite satisfied with the result, "I didn't expect them to be so sensible!?"

The butler heard this and smiled even more: "The prince went to the morning court today."

When Shangguan Ziling heard this, a glimmer of enlightenment flashed in her eyes: "So it was that man Mo Shaoxie who did it." She thought to herself, no wonder the IOU on her dressing table disappeared, so it turned out that Mo Shaoxie took it away?

Shangguan Zi ordered: "Put it in the warehouse and release the person."

The housekeeper responded and was about to turn around and leave, but Shangguan Ziling shouted again: "Wait."

The butler stopped and turned around to ask, "Does the princess have any other instructions?"

"Where's Mo Shaoxie?" Shangguan Ziling asked, "Is he back?"

The butler shook his head: "Princess, the prince has not returned yet."

Shangguan Ziling frowned slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled. Where did this man go? Why didn't he come back? She glanced at the housekeeper and waved her hand: "Okay, you can leave first."

The butler responded and retreated respectfully.

Shangguan Ziling refocused her attention on the koi in the lotus pond, but in her heart she was thinking about where Mo Shaoxie had gone.

The little fat man in the space said: "Master, do you miss your man?"

Shangguan Ziling said nonchalantly: "Who misses this stinky man? I'm just curious about where he's been..."

"Tsk! You are a woman who says one thing and means another. Do you think the baby believes you?"

"Little Fatty, do you know that you sometimes deserve a beating?"

"Ah? I'm such a cute and well-behaved baby, Master, why do you think I sometimes deserve a beating?!"

Shangguan Ziling rolled her eyes. She, as a spirit, was asking for trouble by talking to him!

In the military camp outside the city, Mo Shaoxie sat upright in the tent with a stern expression, like an ice sculpture in the cold winter, looking at official documents in his hands.

Le Wenshu stepped into the tent, his figure stretched out in the dim light, bringing a touch of warmth beyond the battlefield.

"Your Highness," Le Wenshu reported in a low voice, "The envoys from several countries have left on the surface, but they have secretly left spies behind to secretly investigate the details of our Dongyue Dynasty.

The actions of Xiliang and Nanchu are understandable. After all, they have been in conflict with our Dongyue Dynasty for many years. Although they have settled down in recent years, they still test us from time to time. However, the people of the Northern Kingdom seem to be looking for someone and have been secretly investigating the Prime Minister's Mansion. "

Mo Shaoxie did not show much surprise after hearing this. He thought of his mother-in-law's identity and the complicated relationship between the Northern Kingdom and the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he understood a little. He said calmly: "Send someone to stop the people from the Northern Kingdom and don't let them find out anything about the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Le Wenshu nodded in response. Le Wenshu sat opposite Mo Shaoxie, his brows knitted tightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the people arranged by the emperor in the army have been secretly stirring up trouble. If we don't deal with it soon, I'm afraid it will affect the morale of our army."

Mo Shaoxie gently put down the teacup in his hand, and the tea rippled in the cup. He looked up at Le Wenshu, a deep light flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly, "No hurry."
