Failed to Steal the Chicken

In recent days, rumors about Concubine Yun Gui have been spreading like wildfire. They say that relying on the emperor's favor for her, in order to suppress the prince and put her son in power, she deceived the foolish prince into giving him a million taels of silver, and also accompanied the two princes.

Prince Li Changji came to the Prince's Mansion and aggressively asked Li Yu to take the money, otherwise the Prince's Mansion would be sealed off, leaving him nowhere to live. In the end, His Highness the Crown Prince, who had forced Da Shen to court, actually went to sell the mansion.

, dismissed the slaves and sold off all the property to pay off debts. Of course, this was just a rumor in the market. Concubine Yun Gui also knew that there must be speculation in it, but the grievance in her heart was even worse than that of Dou E.

This act not only ruined his one million taels of silver, but also greatly damaged his reputation. At this time, I was restless and uneasy in the palace when I heard that the emperor was anxious to summon me.

When I asked Wu Shouli, the deputy chief eunuch, why he was summoned by the emperor, he was mumbling and didn't say anything. He just said that the emperor was anxious to summon him and that he wanted to see the second prince Li Changji at the same time.

The emperor's urgent summons must be related to the rumors in the market. I was about to go uninvited to clarify the matter to the emperor. Even if I don't want the money, I still have to explain to the emperor what I have been wronged.

Yes, I thought in my mind and hurriedly followed Wu Shouli to the imperial study.

"Where's Chang'er? Why don't you see him coming?" Concubine Yun asked casually.

"The second prince has been suffering from diarrhea since he came back from the last trip. When the old servant went to summon him, he was still out of court. The imperial doctor also took a look and said that the second prince must have eaten something unclean. After he had diarrhea, he would naturally have diarrhea.

It will get better, and I have also been prescribed some nutritional supplements. It is estimated that everything will be fine in two days." Think about it, the entire receipt with the writing on it was swallowed into the stomach at once. If I didn't have diarrhea,

That's strange. Thinking of this, Concubine Yun's hatred for Li Yu becomes even more intense. When she is in front of the emperor, I must speak to him properly.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the imperial study room in the inner courtyard of the palace.

Concubine Yun Gui, who had just entered, noticed something was wrong. She usually saw the emperor, who had a pleasant look on her face, but now her face turned black with anger, her eyes were as red as bloodshot, and she looked like she was gnashing her teeth in extreme hatred.

This surprised Concubine Yun. It seemed that something big was going to happen today. After following the emperor for so many years, she had never seen him with such an angry face. She felt very uneasy for a moment. She was about to kneel down and say,

"You bitch, don't you kneel down yet." This scolding scared her so much that she knelt on her knees with a grunt. The tension in her heart was rising, but she still didn't know what had caused His Majesty to act like this. She had just entered the door.

, because he only paid attention to the angry face of the emperor Li Zhi, but ignored the prince Li Yu who was sobbing quietly beside the pillar.

"Concubine, what a good thing you did!" Emperor Li Zhi did not tolerate Concubine Yun's questions and excuses, and directly reprimanded her.

"Your Majesty, I have done something shameful to you to reprimand me like this. Your Majesty, please give me an explanation!" Concubine Yun was also confused for a moment. She seemed to have done nothing to make the emperor act like this recently.

What I am angry about is that it is only related to Li Yu. Could it be because of this matter? But it is not a big deal. Besides, I plan to knock out my front teeth and swallow it in my stomach. In order not to make things worse

If there is such a big fuss, even the one million taels of silver that Li Yu lost is not ready to be taken back. What else could make His Majesty so angry?

Following her confusion, bursts of sobbing and crying could be heard next to the pillars of the imperial study hall. Concubine Yun Guifei, who had just come back to her senses, looked up and immediately understood that what made her angry was that Mingming

It was Li Yu who had deceived him and refused to pay him back, and the evildoer complained first. I don't know what happened to the prince, so that this prince who was always very annoying to your majesty actually scolded the beloved himself because of him.

"Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me. The prince conspired and deceived Chang'er and my concubine of one million taels of silver. He refused to pay back the money and pretended to be pitiful. The evil man complained first, saying that the concubine was blackmailing him. This

After all, where did you ask me to go and reason with you?" Concubine Yun Guifei knelt on the ground. The grievances in her heart over the past few days gathered in her heart, and she began to cry out about Li Yu's evil deeds.

"Let's not talk about how Yu'er used tricks to deceive you. Yu'er took one million taels of silver from you. Do you have any real evidence?" Li Zhi still looked angry.

"It turns out there was, but now it has been eaten by Chang'er." Concubine Yun Guifei began to regret the second prince's seemingly wise but foolish act of destroying evidence.

"You mother and son are really good at giving someone a million taels of silver, holding a voucher, and swallowing it for no reason. Is there something fishy about it? What do you think about this? Are you crazy, stupid, or still hungry?

Have you started to eat the paper? He Dahai, tell me, if you give someone money, you not only don’t accept the voucher, but you eat it, and then go back to ask for the money. This goes against ordinary people’s logic.

How can people believe what you say? You all tell me, what is the truth, what is the truth..." The emperor Li Zhi became more and more excited as he spoke, and the anger in his heart prompted him to continuously slap the whole pile in front of him.

books and memorials, completely ignoring the severe pain in his hands when he slapped the desk in anger.

"Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, calm down..." Everyone was so frightened that they all knelt down on the ground and begged. At this time, Concubine Yun's face was already pale with fear, she was trembling with fear, and her body could not help but tremble.

"Concubine, let me ask you, even if Yu'er really took your money, even if he played tricks and refused to pay it back, even if he deceived you and blackmailed you, he said a thousand words and ten thousand, but Yu'er lives in seclusion and rarely

Don't go out much, let alone go to your palace or Chang'er's mansion to defraud you of your money. Could it be that he, a cowardly character, careful in everything, always on tenterhooks and afraid of getting into trouble for no reason, would come to your door?

Is it possible to deceive you?" Emperor Li Zhi held back his anger and asked Concubine Yun to give Li Yu an explanation.

"This..." Concubine Yun Gui was completely speechless at this time. Thinking about it, in the final analysis, it can only be said that she stole the chicken but lost a handful of rice. She didn't cry and call you to cheat.

In order to get Zhu Hongying's marriage, you yourself tried every means to come to the house, take out the money, and trick the prince into signing the letter of breach of contract.

Concubine Yun Gui, who originally felt that she was full of reason, was speechless and stood blankly on the spot when faced with Emperor Li Zhi's loud questioning. She could not say that she gave Li Yuyin money to his son so that he could get Zhu Guowei's daughter.

He signed a letter of breach of contract so that he could go to propose marriage, and then he could win over Zhu Guowei, the military force, and satisfy Chang'er's love for Zhu Hongying. Even if he had ten thousand reasons in his heart, he couldn't.

Even when it reached my mouth, I couldn't even say half a sentence.

At this time, the second prince Li Changji, who was bent over and holding his stomach with one hand, walked into the imperial study room in disheveled clothes with a frowning expression on his face.

After the evidence, he has not stopped having diarrhea. His whole body is sore and weak, and his mind is dizzy. If his father hadn't been summoned in a hurry, he wouldn't have managed to come over.

The second prince who came in immediately saw Concubine Yun, who was either frightened or really wronged. She was in tears and crying bitterly, which was quite sympathetic. Since Concubine Yun was the closest to him, she only paid attention to her mother.

He looked sad, but he didn't look at his father's raging anger.

"You traitor, why don't you get down on your knees and see what good things you did with your mother?" Emperor Li Zhi scolded him, which made the second prince Li Changji feel a little uncomfortable.

"Father, what's wrong? Why are you blaming your son for no reason?" After the second prince turned around, he suffered from diarrhea. If his father hadn't summoned him for something urgent, he wouldn't have bothered to take care of it even if the sky fell, let alone himself.
