The Beloved Imperial Consort - Chapter 363
[363. Chapter 363 Desperate]
“Master, don’t worry too much. In the past few days, you have not been able to sleep peacefully every night, and your body has been damaged, but it is absolutely impossible. After that, the master will be able to find out the news, and there is always a need for you to come forward. It’s time for the main business.”
Seeing Helian Minmin’s haggard expression and a dark blue shadow under her eyes, she couldn’t hide it even if she smeared on it. The whole person also lost weight. Clothes that were decently worn before, but looking at them now, they actually make people look rather crooked. Mammy Feng could only follow her worries, hoping that Helian’s mansion would deliver the news and enter the manor. If she got the letter, it would be more reliable than her master and servant being cranky and worrying.
After being surrounded by the forbidden army for five days, the entire Prince’s Mansion was already panicking. Helian Minmin occupies the position of the prince’s concubine, but at this time, he is unable to appease everyone. The promises she could give seemed vague, even if she was alone, she was in a trance when she heard it.
“What if I get the news? With the imperial guards sent by the emperor to guard him, can we still communicate the news in private?” In fact, she had the worst plan in her heart. The whereabouts of His Highness are already unknown, and at this moment, the Fourth Highness has also been encircled by the Yuancheng Emperor’s mansion. Could it be that this matter has something to do with Mobei?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Being involved in the war coincided with the emergency in Moganling… Helian Minmin rubbed his forehead tiredly, facing the account book spread out in front of him, unable to read it. Staring at the expense, his expression slowly became a little dazed.
“Sister is checking the accounts?” Su Linrou reluctantly cheered up. When she came in, she saw Helian Minmin burying her head in the account book, as if she was very focused.
Helian Minmin only felt very upset when someone specialised in trouble came to the door. “Is something wrong?” Since that day, the woman rushed back to the mansion, and this was the first time the two met. She used to avoid it because of illness.
“It’s not a big deal. I’m just here to ask, when will the clothes made in each season be delivered? The weather is so hot, I’m afraid I won’t be able to wear my sister’s clothes.” She deliberately wore a wide-sleeved dress outside. She was also covered with Zeng tulle, naturally she was going to sweat.
Helian Minmin suddenly raised her head and stared at her for a long time, she couldn’t believe that this woman still had the mind to ask her about food and clothing expenses at this time.
Seeing that she was a little uncomfortable, Su Linrou choked her voice, and said aggrievedly. “Could it be that my sister thought that my concubine wouldn’t worry about His Highness? But at this time, the other side can’t do it anymore, so it’s better to straighten your back, live in peace, and show those who are looking outside to see, our prince’s mansion hasn’t collapsed yet. “Being broken by people’s rumors, Su Linrou didn’t want to be looked down upon, so she could only pretend to be nothing, still holding the air, as if she never took the dark clouds over the prince’s mansion to heart.
Listening to her reasonableness, Helian Minmin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. “You should also know what’s going on in the mansion now. If you don’t mention the new clothes, I’m afraid you’ll forget it.” Closing the account
book, Helian Minmin rarely showed a tired face in front of her. “Since what you said is reasonable, why don’t you help your concubine share some of the burden. At this time in the mansion, it’s better for everyone to have one mind.”
“Mummy, go and fetch the account book of the sewing room.” When she touched Su Linrou’s hand, she had a rare and pleasant expression, and there was kindness in her eyes. “If you don’t dislike it, you can also help. When His Highness returns to the mansion, you should keep in mind your thoughts for the Prince’s Mansion at this time.”
Su Lin returned with the ledger in such a confused manner. Although Rou felt incredible, she was more surprised in the end. I had been thinking about how to get some benefits from Helian’s hands, but I didn’t think so. Today, I was just urging some new clothes to be cut, and the woman was willing to let her take charge of the sewing room.
“Master, this old slave doesn’t think this is right.” Seeing her eagerly looking through the accounts for the past two years, Dai mama frowned. Shi has always been a party. The prince concubine has taken over the housekeeping affairs since she was in charge of the house, so when she was not cautious, she grasped power very well. Even when they asked for peace, they occasionally encountered the person who was checking the accounts, and they would definitely ask people to quickly collect the accounts without asking them to take a second look.
“Would you like to think about it again? Let’s go back tomorrow…” Su Linrou waved her hand impatiently and interrupted before she spoke.
“What are you afraid of? If she dares to be uneasy and kind, the concubine can’t take precautions? It’s a fool to be a concubine, she just coaxes her to come.” “Go and ask someone to copy this ledger, and remember to ask the steward to print it. If there are some ‘accidents’, I can come up with a theory to compare with her.
” .
In the Zen Ruo Garden at the other end, Helian Minmin was holding a tea cup, her eyes were frighteningly cold.
“Master, the arrangements have been made over there.” After adding tea for her, Mammy Feng stood respectfully to the side.
“Tell me to keep an eye on it.” Before, he looked worried, and when he got the ledger, he still remembered how His Highness was. These women in the backyard did not take their eyes off of her Helian Minmin even when the Prince’s Mansion was in crisis. I was only thinking about how to make a profit, and I wished I could scrape the skin from under her!
“Let’s go and do some management, and see if we can find out some information from the two women who deliver the ingredients to the big kitchen every day. The people in the house can’t get out, and the only thing that can be used is the money. There is a way. I hope that among those two, even if one of them is greedy for money, it will be very good.”
After two days, Feng mama did as she wished and spent two hundred taels of silver to find out the news, but this news was called He Heng. Lian Minmin’s whole body seemed to be immersed in well water in the cold winter, almost breathless.
“It’s spread all over Shengjing City. It is said that the Fourth Highness colluded with His Highness the Household to value the fifth gentleman very much, and deducted 30% of the food and grass transported to Qihe and entrusted, and all of them were transferred to the West Road Army to fill their own pockets. Deliberately delaying along the way, the recent batch of grain and forage ignited inexplicably in the port before it left Wuzhou. Of the seven grain ships, none of them could be rescued.”
Mammy Feng knelt on the ground and answered in a hurry again fast. Even she was frightened by this. Helian Minmin was shaky, holding on to the case, with despair in his eyes.
“How does the emperor decide?” Grabbing the last straw, Helian Minmin knew that someone deliberately framed Zong Zhenglin, and while he was away, murdered hundreds of people in the Prince’s Mansion. But not even the slightest effort. Political affairs, not to mention her, even her father may not be able to reverse the situation.
“Master, how can the old woman find out such big news.” Knowing that she was already in a mess, Madam Feng was so anxious that she wiped away sweat. “Most of the rumors that can be obtained are from the streets and alleys. However, there is one thing that is certain. The fourth highness’s mansion is waiting for someone to be escorted by the emperor to the palace to guard it, and even the gate of the prince’s mansion is also blocked. The Imperial Army has put a seal on it.”
Sealed? Helian Minmin’s eyes darkened. Even the eldest prince Zong Zhengchun was banned by Emperor Yuancheng, and he didn’t seal the prince’s mansion… Thinking about it, Ji Huaian went to the mansion and took several of His Highness’s staff, all of them tied with ropes, Helian Minmin’s heart was completely empty.
