She also wants to open more medical clinics, recruit more apprentices, and strive to improve the medical level of Chu State so that the people can truly live and work in peace and contentment.
Royal Palace.
Since Emperor Hongyuan tasted the benefits of the elixir last time, he asked the queen to call Li Changliu into the palace and ask him to specially develop the elixir for him.
In recent days, after taking the elixir, he felt that he was very brave in bed and conquered several concubines at once.
Therefore, he became more and more fond of this elixir, so much so that he favored his concubines and took it every night.
He also trusted Li Changliu more and more, and appointed him as a national advisor, asking him to develop more powerful elixirs.
Today, when he and Concubine Xue were having sex in the tent, they suddenly heard Eunuch Xu's report, "Your Majesty, it's not good! His Highness Prince Li tied Mrs. Wei into the palace and said that he would sue Mrs. Wei.
A crime of embezzling disaster relief funds!"
"What?
how so?"
Emperor Hongyuan quickly got up from Concubine Xue, with a solemn look on his face.
"Not only that, His Royal Highness Prince Li also said that Mrs. Wei's embezzlement of disaster relief funds was related to the Empress.
Now he has summoned many ministers, and they all went to the imperial study room together, saying they wanted to see you."
Mr. Xu is fair.
Emperor Hongyuan was stunned and said quickly: "Come and change my clothes quickly. I will go to the imperial study immediately."
The common people are the foundation of the country. If the Queen and Mrs. Wei really embezzled the disaster relief funds, he would never let them go!
.
Soon, Emperor Hongyuan changed his clothes and led his servants to the imperial study room quickly.
At this time, all the ministers were already waiting in the side hall.
Seeing Emperor Hongyuan coming in, everyone headed by Chu Xuanchen quickly saluted him and said, "See you, Your Majesty."
"Plain body."
After Emperor Hongyuan finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Wei and others who were tied to the ground and kneeling with a sullen look on their faces.
He pointed at them and said: "Prince Li, you said that Mrs. Wei embezzled money for disaster relief. What on earth is going on?"
Chu Xuanchen immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Back to the Emperor, this matter has to start with Mrs. Wei's serving porridge on the street."
“Soup porridge?
What’s wrong with giving out soup? Isn’t this a good deed?”
Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes gloomily.
Chu Xuanchen glanced at the victims and said, "Your Majesty, what's the problem?
Can you please speak to representatives of these victims? They have witnessed what happened in the past two days with their own eyes."
Only then did Emperor Hongyuan realize that in the corner, kneeling were ten victims of the disaster in ragged clothes and disheveled hair.
He was stunned and then said: "Okay, you guys tell me what happened in the past two days!"
When the victims heard this, they brought over the rice porridge they had prepared and presented it to the emperor.
The queen looked up and saw the victims holding several bowls of porridge and several yellowed steamed buns.
When he looked into the porridge, he saw that the porridge was yellow-brown, full of insects and mixed with a lot of sand; the steamed buns were also yellow and exuded a strong sour smell, which made him feel nauseous.
"What's this?"
He asked with a livid face.
One of the victims said: "Your Majesty, this is the porridge that Mrs. Wei gave to us people! Mrs. Wei and the Queen raised three million taels of silver in the name of raising money, but they actually gave it to us.
This kind of porridge!”
"There are also sour steamed buns.
The buns were yellow, black, and smelly.
Someone ate this steamed bun and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and abdominal pain for a day!"
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Wei and the Queen do not really want to provide disaster relief at all.
They are just showing off, trying to fool the people with food that even pigs won’t eat, and the people have suffered so much from them!”
