Chapter 238 Don't cheat me

Due to the rain all night, a thin layer of fog fell in the early morning.

The air is filled with the fragrance of soil and grass, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Cheng Muqing walked on the pebbly path with her belly holding her belly. Tonight was following her and carefully supported her, while lying in her mouth.

"Wanqing and Jiusheng, their mouths are harder than the other. They don't eat soft and hard food, and they can't ask anything. They have recently started to go on a hunger strike to protest."

"I've actually gone on a hunger strike." Cheng Muqing sighed softly, "I'm really strong."

"No." No," nodded tonight, "but spies outside the palace came to report that they found that they often went to Manxianglou for a long time, while Wanqing was born in Fengchen Pavilion."

Although Manxiang Tower is empty, if you think about it carefully, Jiusheng can basically be confirmed to be a native of Qi. When the disaster relief silver case was first filed, Zhao Liangxu mentioned Jiusheng as a person. Jiusheng, or why Qiguo wanted to harm the Zhao family?

"Tonight, help me check the Zhao family."

"Which Zhao family?" I forgot tonight.

"Former Minister of Revenue."

Nodded quickly tonight.

"Also, ask the Golden Eagle to find an excuse to seal the Fengchen Pavilion and check the people inside." Cheng Muqing ordered.

"Yes." After returning to this evening, I looked up at her again.

"What else is there?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"Empress, Princess Wenxiao is going to the imperial tomb today."

"Oh." Cheng Muqing also thought it was a good thing for Tao Yushan to leave early. Staying in the palace, after all, there was the uncertain factor of Empress Dowager Lu.

Leave early and enjoy happiness early.

"How are you doing the imperial tombs?"

"As the Queen's instructions, it is properly and complete, and no one will know that it is you."

"Well, it's better to be low-key." Cheng Muqing looked at the rockery flowers outside the corridor thoughtfully. Her almond eyes flowed and she looked up at the sky.

The sky is blue and clear.

"Go and see them." Cheng Muqing suddenly had a whim.

Jiu Sheng and Wanqing were locked up in the Qi Palace. Cheng Muqing drove back from the imperial city to the Qi Palace in a carriage. He quickly rushed back to the Qi Palace with a quick horse and whipped it up. The time for a stick of incense was also here.

There was no dark prison in the Qi Mansion, and the two were locked in two separate small houses.

The withered and yellow fallen leaves spread all over the ground, and as the rainwater soaked, they stuck to the soil.

I don’t know if it was because she went home, Cheng Muqing felt that she was in a better mood than in the imperial city. She suddenly remembered that she once asked Lin Heng not to ascend the throne. Now she thought about it, it was ridiculous.

Sometimes, if you don’t want to move forward, there will be something that pushes you forward.

When he walked to the door, Guard Cui pushed the door open.

"Princess Qi~"

Inside the room, Jiusheng leaned on his chin and looked at the person with a smile, "Or, call you... Queen?"

"It's up to you." Cheng Muqing smiled.

"Then I'll call your name?" Jiusheng raised his eyebrows, "Cheng Muqing."

"Okay, it doesn't matter." Cheng Muqing disdains to argue with him about the title issue.

Jiusheng looked at her for a while and said, "It's boring..."

"I know, you should do something for Yang Shurui." Cheng Muqing spoke, and saw that he had no reaction, and continued, "Yang Shurui sent someone to the Qi Palace."

The other party still did not respond.

"A group of assassins have been sent, and they have been captured by the guards of the Qi Prince's Mansion." Cheng Muqing said slowly, "You are an abandoned son."

"Cheng Muqing, why do you have to blow me up?" Jiu Sheng lay lazily on the chair of the Grand Master. His face was a little ferocious, "Our prince would never treat me like this!"

"Okay." Cheng Muqing turned sideways, "Then you go."

The long-lasting movements were stiff.

"Look at whether you... can return to Yang Shurui smoothly."

"You want to follow me, follow the clues and seek your highness?" Jiusheng sneered, "It's impossible, I won't give you a chance."

"Ha~" Cheng Muqing smiled, and was about to say something, suddenly he heard the sound of Tomorrow's Day coming from behind--

"Empress! Something happened to Wanqing!"

Cheng Muqing had no expression on his face, but he glanced at the sound of a long time, turned around quickly, looked at the guard Cui and said, "Close the door tightly~"

"Yes." Guard Cui clasped his fists, his eyes flowed, and raised his hand to tie the door up simply.

...

Imperial City, Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The courtiers stood on both sides, bowed their bodies, and were in a row of solemn nature.

"The people are counting on the autumn harvest." Lin Heng sat on the dragon throne. When he faced the group of hundreds of people in front of him, he felt a little nervous. He licked his lips, followed by what he had not finished and continued, "I intend to reduce taxes."

As soon as these words were spoken, an official immediately looked up at him.

"Your Majesty! The national treasury is empty. At this time, you must not reduce taxes!" A minister suggested.

"When the late emperor was alive, he exploited a lot, which led to the inability of even ordinary minor illnesses to cure the people." Cao Da said, "What's the problem with your majesty and sages who want to benefit the people?"

"Your Majesty is also for the people..." Zhen Chenggong said, "But it is true that the emptiness of the national treasury is also true. It would be better to lower the reduction and take a step back."

"The old emperor is alive and it is not enough to collect two taxes. Now it needs to be lowered. What support should the Great Jin Dynasty provide?!" The minister said dissatisfied.

"The Minister of Revenue did not even speak, why are you excited?" Feng Yao stood behind the team and said with a smile.

His voice was not loud, but he was extremely clear.

"What do you know about a child?" The minister frowned and glanced backwards.

"I don't understand, but I think that being good to the people is good to the Great Jin."

Seeing that the fight was about to begin, Jingshi Tao Wenyan interrupted, "I heard that tax revenue has been known in recent years, and hundreds of trusts have suffered so much. There are still people who rebel. Fortunately, the magistrates in various places suppressed them. Your Majesty is the emperor and will definitely consider the country and the people. If you have any better suggestions, you should tell Your Majesty quickly, instead of arguing again."

The court suddenly became quiet. The people looked at each other and looked at Lin Heng together.

Lin Heng felt a little embarrassed. His hand holding the chair was a little sweating slightly, "I will think about it."

"Your Majesty, the autumn examination will be in a few days." Jingshi Tao said, "Why would you rather wait for the autumn examination and gather your thoughts and think about it carefully?"

...

When he arrived in Wanqing's room, Cheng Muqing saw Wanqing lying on the ground, with a haggard face and white lips.

The ground was covered with food, the quilt and veil were torn everywhere, and there was an unpleasant smell in the room.

Cheng Muqing wanted to vomit a little, so she covered her mouth and nose with a veil, barely holding it back.

"Empress, you go out first." I couldn't bear to see her uncomfortable.

"Nothing happened." Cheng Muqing pushed her away and walked in.

She looked down at Wanqing lying on the ground.

Wanqing's face had already appeared large and small spots, and there was a distinct blue-purple mark on her neck. When she looked up, she could see two ropes tied from clothes hanging above the volume.

"That's how you look at people?" Cheng Muqing asked coldly.

The guard guards outside the door hurriedly knelt down.

"It seems that I have been dead for a few hours." Cheng Muqing let out a long sigh, and looked at the guard at the door with a sharp look, "Come here."

Two guards walked up to him with a tough bullet.

"Sousuo." Cheng Muqing said, "Turn the house upside down, I need to know if there is anything valuable in the house."

The two guards quickly searched.
