Chapter 253: An Unknown Thing
Chapter 253: An Unknown Thing
"I didn't expect that the prime minister is so bold that he dares to run into the muzzle of a gun at this time." Concubine Shu was annoyed.
Xiao Shunzi couldn't help but shudder when he heard this. He knelt down and walked to the feet of Concubine Shu: "My Lady, if you can save me, I will serve you like a slave in my next life to repay your kindness, Lady..."
Concubine Shu:......
This little Shunzi.
He knew that he was begging for mercy.
If you didn’t know, you would think he was mourning for her.
"Okay, stop crying." Concubine Shu reached out and patted his head: "You don't have to go back to Dingxi. Tomorrow morning, bring your things and come with me to see the emperor."
Emperor...Emperor?
Xiao Shunzi was so scared that his legs went limp.
"Your Highness, I will accept any punishment you want. You want me to take this box of jewels to see the Emperor. Aren't you trying to take my life?"
Concubine Shu pursed her lips speechlessly: "I just want to save you."
She stood up and was about to leave when she turned around and told Xiao Shunzi, "Don't tell anyone about this."
"Yes." Xiao Shunzi knelt on the ground, looking at the direction where Concubine Shu left with a confused look on his face.
"Listen to me." Concubine Shu was afraid that he would get carried away and do something inappropriate, so she gave him serious instructions.
Xiao Shunzi was stunned: "Yes! Madam."
Naturally, this silver has to be returned.
But how to return?
Now the silver has been delivered to Xiao Shunzi's house outside.
Prime Minister Meng is definitely not a pushover to have reached his current position.
Although she was the one who took charge of the talent show.
But in the end, the decision on whether this concubine should stay or go was still up to the emperor and the queen mother.
Even if she said a few words indifferently on her behalf in front of Emperor Yuanwu, it might not necessarily determine her stay or departure.
If it really was a box of gold, silver and jewelry as Xiao Shunzi said, it would probably be all the belongings that Prime Minister Meng had since he took office.
How could a prime minister not understand?
Even though his daughter stood out among the many beauties.
Whether she will be favored after entering the palace is an unknown thing.
If he was really a corrupt official, then could it be that he gave Xiao Shunzi this box of gold, silver and jewelry just to get her to say a few good words for his daughter during the talent show?
No matter how Concubine Shu thought about it, she felt that this matter was strange.
In fact, what she was most worried about was that someone would use the name of Prime Minister Meng to use this box of silver to kill two birds with one stone.
If she really accepted this box of gold and silver.
They could just use the bribery incident to push him directly to the forefront.
By then, even if she opened her mouth, she probably wouldn't be able to explain herself clearly.
According to Concubine Shu's instructions.
In the evening, Xiao Shunzi left the palace and returned to his own house.
At the same time in Yikun Palace.
"Your Majesty, everything you asked us to do has been done." Sanxi hurried in from outside and kowtowed to Concubine Shu on one knee.
"Oh..." The Queen raised her head in a drawling tone: "I'm sure everything has been done."
"To answer the Queen, it is confirmed." Sanxi said confidently, "I just asked the people in Qiluanyuan Palace. Xiao Shunzi should have been on duty tonight, but he asked for sick leave. I was worried about others doing this, so I followed him all the way to his private residence outside the palace."
"And then?" the queen asked angrily.
"It was just getting dark that day, and Xiao Shunzi couldn't wait to take the gold, silver and jewelry to the largest pawnshop in the imperial city." Sanxi said with a somewhat excited tone.
