When he heard that Wei Xiaobao, the factory supervisor of the East Chamber, had also sent over six million silver, he was shocked.
When Cao Guojiu heard this, he staggered and collapsed into his chair.
He already knew how to deal with the six million yuan here.
Now, he had sent another six million taels of silver.
State Uncle Cao had never thought that he would one day fear silver.
"Royal Brother-in-law, what should we do?"
"What should we do? We can't let them unload it, can we?"
Cao Guojiu roared.
Wei Xiaobao?
Who would dare to take his silver?
He was an expert in pranking people. Not to mention his nephew, he was not even the emperor.
Even if he became the Emperor in the future, he would still have to smile when he saw Wei Xiaobao.
Would he dare to accept the silver from such a person?
"Who is this Shen Yan? Why are the Duke of England and the supervisor of the East Military Bureau protecting him so much?”
Imperial Uncle Cao was already filled with regret.
"Imperial Brother-in-law, it's too late. Those…the people from the East Chamber left the silver at the entrance of the manor and left.”
At this moment, State Uncle Cao finally understood the seriousness of the matter.
"No, I have to find my sister, the Empress, and ask her to come forward.”
Thinking of this, State Uncle Cao immediately ordered his men to change their clothes before staggering toward the Imperial Palace.
At the same time, the Empress was strolling with her seven-year-old son.
As the only son of the Emperor and the son of the Empress, Tan 'er would definitely ascend to the throne.
In this case, her mother must be the Empress Dowager.
Thinking of this, the Empress looked at her cute and chubby son and doted on him even more.
"Tan 'er, I heard from the Grand Tutor that you've been playing around these days?”
"Mother, Tan 'er isn't playful. She only likes riding and shooting. My father told me that I can't just focus on studying. I also need to practice martial arts. Only in this way could he be a good emperor who was skilled in both martial arts and literature.”
"He even told me to eat less delicious food. Train your body more."
The seven-year-old crown prince raised the wooden sword in his hand and waved it twice.
"Your father is right," the empress smiled dotingly. In the future, Tan 'er would definitely be a good emperor. However, he still had to focus on studying. Besides, you're not fat. You just have a little more meat.”
"I understand, Mother."
At this moment, a eunuch ran over in fear.
"Your Highness, Eunuch Wei…requests an audience.”
Stunned, Empress Cao smiled.""Hehe, he still came in the end. He's quite sensible. Bengong thought he didn't know what was good for him.”
"Xuan."
"Yes."
Soon, Wei Xiaobao, who was wearing a red python robe, walked over with an imposing appearance.
After greeting him.
"Eunuch Wei, it's been a long time since you've come to bengong." I haven't seen you many times this year.”
"Empress, please forgive me. Isn't Little Wei busy with the trivial matters of the East Chamber? I'll definitely come and pay my respects often in the future."
Wei Xiaobao smiled and nodded.
The little crown prince Zhu Tan, who was beside the Empress, made funny faces at him from time to time.
The two of them were very familiar with each other.
"How has the East Chamber been these days? Is there anything serious in the capital?"
Because of the current Emperor's rules, the Empress had never asked about the East Chamber before.
However, he suddenly became interested.
"Today, Little Wei is here because of a treasonous case in the East Chamber.”
Wei Xiaobao said as he looked around.
How could the Empress not know what she meant? She waved her hand and dismissed the surrounding eunuchs and palace maids.
Even the Crown Prince was taken away.
"What case?" The Empress's heart skipped a beat.
Wei Xiaobao had always been a man of few words, and today he had suddenly come to visit. Could it be…that he was involved?
"Today, the East Chamber caught a few eunuchs on the streets of the capital who openly said some treasonous words.”
Wei Xiaobao took out a stack of confessions and handed them to the Empress.
After the Empress finished reading, her expression changed drastically.
It turned out that these confessions were all the confessions of the eunuchs around her.
And in those confessions, it was all about 'When the Emperor passes away, the power of the world will still be in the hands of the Empress and us elders of the Eastern Palace.”
"At that time, won't we be able to mess with whoever we want?”
"Embroidered Uniform Guards, the East Chamber is nothing.”
These remarks could be said to have made the Empress break out in cold sweat.
"I know this has nothing to do with the Empress, but…before I present this to His Majesty, I should first inform the Empress.”
Wei Xiaobao was still very respectful.
After the Empress heard this, her face turned a little pale. She quickly walked forward and said,"Eunuch Wei, how did bengong treat you?”
"The Empress has treated Little Wei like a mountain. Otherwise, Little Wei wouldn't have rushed over to discuss with the Empress.”
If these testimonies were to reach the hands of the Emperor, the consequences could be imagined.
One had to know that as long as the emperor investigated thoroughly, he would be able to quickly find out that the harem had become more arrogant and awe-inspiring than before.
The eunuchs and maids in the harem knew that the Emperor was about to die and that power would be transferred. It was inevitable that they would be proud and excited.
However, if the Emperor knew about this, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Emperor had not yet passed away, but they were already celebrating.
If it was exposed, there would definitely be a bloody storm in the harem.
Even the Empress might lose the power to govern the country in the future.
How could the Empress not be terrified?
"Eunuch Wei, what should we do?”
The Empress had already lost her composure.
"Actually…it's quite simple.”
Wei Xiaobao then gave the Empress some advice.
"Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch Wei. BenGong will deal with those arrogant eunuchs and palace maids who caused chaos in the harem.”
"That's for the best."
By the time Wei Xiaobao left, the Empress was already drenched in cold sweat.
She immediately summoned a group of imperial guards and began to search for those who had been arrogant, spouting nonsense, and using the power of a fox to intimidate a tiger.
In an instant, more than ten arrogant eunuchs and palace maids who were usually favored and trusted were killed on the spot in the blink of an eye.
Now that the Emperor was nearing his end, Wei Xiaobao would not add fuel to the fire.
If he really showed these words to the Emperor, the Emperor would be so angry that he might even die suddenly.
"Little Wei, the palace seems to be a little tense?”
The Emperor, who was meticulous, still noticed something.
"Your Majesty, these days, some eunuchs and palace maids have not followed the rules and are gossiping. The Empress punished him as a warning.”
After the Emperor heard this, he nodded and said with a smile,""The Empress has done well. She should be punished.”
"Oh right, Little Wei, I told the Crown Prince recently that he can't study so hard. He wanted to learn martial arts and become an emperor who was skilled in both martial arts and literature.”
"Zhen wants to find him a master. Yes, it would be best if they were strong in martial arts, loyal, had a good background, and were about his age.”
"Your Majesty," said Wei Xiaobao with a wry smile,"just tell Lord Shen to come."”
"Haha…"
