Chapter 31 The Office of Wealth

Judging from the queen's fake pregnancy, Wu Jinsong is obviously wronged, but why is he so flustered? Could it be that the empress knew that Yuan would harm her, so she pretended to be pregnant? And the concubine Yuan, who thinks that the queen is really pregnant, will definitely find a way to make the queen miscarry.

Pregnancy is fake, abortion is fake, but it is true to put saffron in the queen's fetal medicine. Thinking of this, Mei Nianfa had to admire the 17-year-old Empress Renchen, and only she could come up with such a sinister scheme. In addition, he and the second prince wanted to work together to eradicate Zhao Shun from the court. If Empress Renchen had not revealed everything to him at that time, I'm afraid that he would have become the cannon fodder of the second prince Qi Xian. Of course, what makes Mei Nianfa irresistible the snow country and fire ginseng. Although he is a court official, he doesn't attach much importance to power and wealth, and he cares more about the cultivation of martial arts.

Mei Nianfa liked to practice martial arts when he was a child, and later entered the official career by becoming a martial arts champion. The reason why he did so was that he heard that the owner of the Moon Palace of the State of Qi was a person with considerable martial arts skills. But when he entered his official career, he found that it was really more difficult to see the owner of the Shenyue Palace than to ascend to the sky. And the only time he saw Liumu was ten years ago, Liumu holding the snow fruit that people dreamed of in the martial arts and playing casually. At that time, Mei Nianfa was less than 30 years old, and he originally thought that the owner of the Shenyue Palace was a 40-50-year-old man, but he didn't expect that he was just a 20-year-old young man.

"In fact, to tell you the truth, I heard some rumors that the empress's miscarriage this time was done by the concubine, so I came to ask the lord." Mei Nianfa's words were pure bullshit. In fact, he Mei had heard any news about Yuan's concubine's abortion medicine in the queen's medicine, which was just to test Wu Jinsong.

"Your Excellency, you can't say such words indiscriminately." Wu Jinsong said with a smile, "If it reaches the emperor's ears, I will be a great injustice..."

"Your Excellency." A man of Mei Nianfa came in with a serious look, whispered a few words in Mei Nianfa's ear, handed an envelope to Mei Nianfa, and then retreated out again.

Mei Nianfa was passed away and opened the letter, with only four words written on it: Cai Zhichen.

Wu Jinsong just wanted to come forward, but saw Mei Nianfa put the letter on his sleeve, and could only giggle and say, "Is there any progress in the case?"

"Oh, that's not true. It's almost early morning. Lord Wu, let's go to court together.

"Okay, okay."

Mei Nianfa was thinking about the meaning of "the place of wealth", but no matter how he thought about it, he could not understand the meaning of the four words queen. And Wu Jinsong couldn't ask for fun when he saw that Mei Nianfa didn't say anything. The two entered the palace in silence all the way.

Queen's Palace.

Empress Renchen's body gradually improved under the careful care of the imperial doctor and the doctor's daughter. She half leaned against **'s hand and held her favorite "Six Tao Three Strategy".

Can Mei Nianfa understand the meaning of those four words? This is the problem that Empress Renchen is worried about at this moment. Can he understand the meaning of his own writing so vaguely? Wealth to the Chen Office. The queen's worry is unreasonable. In fact, Mei Nianfa really didn't understand the meaning of those four words. Just as Mei Nianfa and Wu Jinsong entered the palace together, he asked his men to send the letter to the queen's palace.

"Empress, Lord Mei has a letter for you."

"Give it to me." Empress Renchen took it and opened it. It was the letter she sent to Mei Nianfa, so he really didn't understand the meaning. At this time, Empress Renchen suddenly hoped that there would be someone who could understand her thoughts and have no heart for her, but how could she tell all the plans at ease if there was such a smart person?

"M Mother Shang, go down first and tell everyone not to disturb me."

"Yes, Madam."

When Queen Renchen was left in the whole bedroom, she said lightly, "Wanchuan, you can come out." As soon as the words fell, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in black brocade appeared.

"Wanchuan, find a way to get 10 million taels of gold from the treasury."

"Yes, master."

The girl in black who had been kneeling on the ground disappeared in an instant, making people wonder whether the scene just now was an illusion.

After the early morning, Mei Nianfa still thought about the meaning of the four words "the place of wealth", so he decided to go to the Queen's Hall to find out the meaning of the four words. As soon as she arrived at the Queen's Hall, she was told that the Queen was resting and was forbidden to disturb anyone, which made Mei Nianfa neither retreat, and could only wander at the main door of the Queen's Hall.

"Isn't this Lord Mei?" Jiafei saw Mei Nianfa wandering there from afar, so she went up and asked, "Do you have anything to ask the Empress?"

"Well, Weichen has a few questions to ask the Empress."

"Oh? So why don't you go in? Why are you going around outside this door?

"The empress is resting, and I'm afraid of disturbing the empress."

"Is that so?" Jiafei said with a smile, "Your Excellency, please continue to wait at the door."

Mother Shang saw that Mei Nianfa and Jiafei didn't know what they were talking about. Seeing that he was indeed a little anxious, she decided to report it to the queen. When Mother Shang said outside the door that the punishment department asked for a meeting, the voice of Empress Renchen immediately came from inside: "Let Lord Mei wait in the side hall."

"Yes, Madam."

Mei Nianfa, who was sitting in the side hall and waiting, seemed a little anxious. He was more afraid than anxious. He suddenly began to be afraid of Empress Renchen. Maybe he should resign and wander around the world since then. Anyway, he hasn't married for so many years, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about it.

"Lord Mei." Queen Renchen's complexion has obviously improved a lot, but her face looks a little cold. She is like two people in front of the emperor in peacetime. Maybe this is her true face. "What do you mean by returning the letter to me?"

"Empress, I can't understand the above meaning."

"Alas, if this palace has to explain everywhere, then this palace will be exhausted."

"Yes, Weichen is stupid." Mei Nianfa's idea of resigning finally prevailed, and he decided to resign from Emperor Qi when the matter was settled. Although the previous monarch was cruel, Mei Nianfa was so worried, not to mention being led by the nose by a woman. But now that I have fallen to the point of being controlled by a little girl, what else does he have to live in the world? Is this still a man?

"Well, since you are so stupid, I'll make it clear to you." Empress Renchen said, "I want you to find someone to sit in the seat of the financial department."

"What?"

"You heard it right. There will be an imperial examination in a month, so I want you to find a reliable person to participate in the imperial examination and come to the court, and then sit in the position of the Finance Department. Therefore, before that, we must find a way to eradicate Wu Jinsong, the financial department, and the way to eradicate Wu Jinsong from the court is to make the emperor lose trust in him. Empress Renchen said, "As long as you find a way to ask Wu Jinsong to send some silver bills to me, I am free to let the emperor treat him."

"It's impossible to ask Wu Jinsong to give her a silver ticket." Mei Nianfa said, "How could he send you a silver ticket to the Queen for no reason?"

"That's your business. In short, I have to make this matter a reality. Maybe you can tell him that I already know that there are saffron in my medicine. As long as he is willing to take out the money, I will no longer pursue this matter."

"I understand. Another thing, the queen asked Weichen to find someone who could come to the court? Do you have any specific requirements?"

"There are no requirements. I just hope this person is not too smart, and of course he can't be too stupid. You must be both learned and loyal to this palace.

Mei Nianfa thought to himself: How can there be such a person? Too smart and too stupid, and you need to be learned and loyal?

"Yes, Madam."

At this point, Mei Nianfa finally understood the meaning of the four words "Cai Zhichen". Such a vague way of writing can probably be understood only by the Empress herself who wrote this letter.

Because of the meeting with Mei Nianfa before the early morning, Wu Jinsong knew that there had been rumors that the empress's miscarriage was done by his daughter Yuan, so Wu Jinsong did not dare to look at Emperor Qi's face at all in the early morning. He always felt that Emperor Qi knew about this matter in his heart.

"Daughter, there have been rumors that it is the abortion medicine you put in. What should I do now?" Wu Jinsong asked worriedly.

"What? Father, where did you hear that? Yuan asked in shock, "Who on earth told your father?"

"Lord Simei, who is in charge of the investigation, came to the house today. He said that there have been rumors that you put the empress's abortion medicine, so I want to ask you if there is such a saying in the palace for my father?"

"No." Yuan said reluctantly calmly, "There is no wind in the palace. Mei Nianfa just sent someone to ask once and never came again. It is impossible for him to find out that the abortion drug was released by his daughter."

"I hope I can escape this disaster."
