Chapter 179 Diverting Attention

Zhu Bai hugged Lao Zhu's knees and said with tears and runny noses: "Master. I told my elder brother and master early in the morning that I used my official teeth and official banknotes while I was still in Yingtian."

The eldest brother of the Zhuang Gang and I will save more money in the treasury. When the eldest brother becomes the emperor in the future, he will have more money. Of course, I will also spend some money on the way. I will be happy to go to Changsha to be an idle prince in the future. As a result, I have done these two things since then.

After this incident, I was being worried about all day long. Either this person is going to harm Concubine Hu Shun tomorrow, or that person is going to harm Concubine Hu Shun tomorrow in order to beat around the bush and force him to submit. It is also said that the son has evil intentions and wants to cover up his eldest brother's limelight. Heaven and earth

Conscience, only I and my eldest brother know what memorials I hate seeing the most and what court I go to. I wish my eldest brother would become the emperor soon and let me go. It's like this again today, I'm so scared."

Queen Ma's face felt a little hot. Thinking about it, ever since Zhu Bai took charge of the Military and Horse Department and took charge of the Official and Dental Bureau, the palace's expenses have become much more abundant.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Bai, a child, supported most of the palace by himself.

She always felt that it was not a good thing for Zhu Bai to have so much money in his hands.

Now that she heard what he said, it seemed that she was judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

Lao Zhu felt a little distressed and pulled up his sleeves to wipe Zhu Bai's tears: "Oh, so that's why. You have me supporting you, so what are you afraid of? Your queen mother and eldest brother both know your heart."

Zhu Bai said: "I beg you to let me supervise the country as soon as possible so that Liu Bowen and those officials can stop staring at the ministers all day long."

Lao Zhu said: "Okay, okay, supervise the country. Next month, let your eldest brother supervise the country."

Empress Ma pulled Zhu Bai into her arms and wiped his tears with her handkerchief. Her eyes were red: "It's the mother's fault for not taking care of the harem, so Bai'er has been wronged."

Thinking back at this moment, Zhu Bai always looked after Zhu Biao. No one among the brothers was more loyal to Zhu Biao than Zhu Bai. In the future, she should also treat their mother and son well.

Zhu Bai said: "There are three thousand beauties in the harem. How can the queen see everything and be taken care of by everyone? Alas, it is all my fault for my son's temper. It is so hateful."

Lao Zhu said: "Don't worry, in the future, if someone comes to say whether Concubine Hu Shun has something or not, your mother and I will ignore it. These people just can't eat meat, so they just jump over the wall and want to harm you by beating around the bush."

The more we think about what Concubine Li Shu did, the angrier we become.

I won’t go to Li Shufei’s place anymore.

If we hadn't asked Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan to guard the Qin and Jin Dynasties, we would really wish to throw her into the cold palace right now.

Zhu Bai came out of Kunning Palace.

Fugui was so excited that he said repeatedly behind Zhu Bai: "Your Highness is so powerful. Not only have you saved the day today, but you have also completely dispelled the Queen's concerns about you. From now on, no matter how rich your Highness is, the Queen will not care about you. Our life will be easy."

Zhu Bai grinned: "Then, who is this king?"

Fugui whispered: "Someone just came to report that Concubine Shun had brought Princess Shouchun back to the palace."

Zhu Bai paused, thought for a moment, and nodded: "That's fine."

I don't know how long it will take for Zhu Ju's bedroom to return to normal after chaos. Concubine Hu Shun is quite lonely anyway, so it would be nice to have Zhu Ju to accompany her.

Besides, Zhu Ju helped them a lot today.

He never owes anyone anything.

Zhu Bai thought for a while and asked: "Who do you think my father will appoint to succeed the prince?"

This position was so important that he had to pay attention.

Fugui whispered: "Who does Your Highness want to take over?"

Zhu Bai sighed: "Of course it's best for you to go, but I don't want you to go. After all, I still have to keep people I trust by my side."

Fugui shook his head: "No, no, no. The slave is not suitable. If His Highness recommends the slave, the Emperor will not agree. Instead, it will cause trouble for His Highness."

Zhu Bai nodded: "Yes, yes."

Fugui was silent for a moment: "If your Highness can trust me, I will recommend someone to you. He is Yunqi, the eunuch in charge of the Queen Mother's side."

Zhu Bai glanced at him.

Fugui added in a low voice: "Eunuch Yun was originally a scholar. In order to follow the emperor, he purified himself. After His Highness was born, he was sent to work in His Royal Highness's palace. He was only transferred away before Your Highness fell and injured himself."

Zhu Bai suddenly realized that all the people around him had been transferred away, and Yun Qi was one of them.

His impression of Yunqi was quite vague, except that he seemed to be a bit stammering and not good at speaking.

He nodded slightly: "Let me think about it."

Firstly, he wanted to test Yunqi, and secondly, he also needed to think of a good way to push Yunqi up without being suspected.

Queen Ma waited for Lao Zhu and the others to leave, then called for Concubine Sun and Concubine Guo.

She said with a sullen face: "Do you know this or not."

Concubine Sun knelt down and said, "I don't know."

Concubine Guo Hui also knelt down: "It's my fault. I didn't expect these old slaves to be so courageous."

It would be understandable if Concubine Guo Hui did not know. Concubine Sun had helped her handle matters in the palace for so many years. How could she not have known?

She actually knew that these things had always happened in the palace. Although Concubine Li Shu was high-spirited and domineering before, she was still very considerate in handling things.

With Concubine Li Shu suppressing her, those servants did not dare to go too far.

Nowadays it is really lawless and completely chaotic.

Empress Ma gritted her teeth and said, "If everyone acts like you and doesn't dare to offend anyone, then won't everyone in the palace bully the weak and fear the strong?"

Concubine Sun fell on the ground: "I really don't know."

She knew that this time it was a big deal, and now in order to protect herself, she had no choice but to bite him to death, otherwise he would definitely be implicated.

Besides, Queen Ma knows the dirty things in the palace better than anyone else, so why should she be blamed?

Moreover, she insisted that there was no one around Queen Ma now and she didn't want to deal with her. Otherwise, she would have asked her in front of everyone just now instead of waiting until now.

Queen Ma looked at Concubine Sun and said after a while: "I advise you not to be too tactful in your actions. You should also be sincere and conscientious."

Concubine Sun disapproved in her heart, but she just obeyed on her face: "I know I was wrong. My abilities are limited, so I will handle it carefully in the future."

Queen Ma said coldly: "Okay, this matter is over now, you can go down."

When Lao Zhu heard Erhu say that Queen Ma was waiting for him to leave, and called Concubine Sun and Concubine Guo for questioning, he realized that Concubine Sun and the others should be handling these trivial matters.

Queen Ma was afraid that he would blame them, so she took the responsibility herself.

He thought for a while and asked Erhu: "When you check the property of Wang Gonggong, you should also check Concubine Sun's natal family. If you find out, just tell me. There is no need to let others know."

-----

Concubine Hu Shun came with Zhu Ju at night.

Zhu Ju quietly leaned beside Concubine Hu Shun, sharing snacks from Zhu Baigong with Brother Monkey.

Concubine Hu Shun anxiously said to Zhu Bai: "I caused trouble for His Highness. Fortunately, His Highness was alert, otherwise today would be..."
