"you……"

The old emperor choked on his words and made insinuations for a long time, but in the end he found nothing.

Seeing Shen Ling's stupid and ignorant look, he became furious. In desperation, he could only ask the eunuch to summon Jing Si.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Jing Si strode forward with his head held high. Before he could salute, the old emperor stopped him and explained his intention.

Seeing that she had nothing to do, Shen Ling sat casually aside, enjoying fruits and snacks, while watching Jing Si pretend to be mysterious, and surrounded the old emperor to investigate.

Not only that, he also shook his head while watching and lamented from time to time.

When the old emperor saw this, his heart was tugged.

After a long while, Jing Si took two steps back and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with your body. However, you are vomiting blood while you are perfectly fine. This is really suspicious. In my opinion, it is not true as the rumors say. , is to deceive God and bring down divine punishment..."

He paused appropriately and shut up.

When the old emperor heard this, he was very confused and anxious to ask for a solution, but to his surprise, both of them stepped aside and refused to speak again.

this……

He sighed frequently in his heart and was reluctant to give up, but in order to regain his health, he could only grit his teeth and said: "I also heard about what happened before, and sent people to investigate. It turned out that the consul eunuch had evil intentions, and now he has embezzled the treasure. It has been found, and I am about to send someone to the Imperial Preceptor’s Mansion!"

Listening to his lies, Shen Ling and Jing Si didn't expose it, they just nodded.

"The Holy One, the Holy One."

"Your Majesty, in order to avoid misunderstandings caused by what happened last time, why not let me go along with you to investigate on the spot and count them one by one. This way, if there are too many or too few, it will be easier to deal with."

After Shen Ling said that, he took out the list of the previous dynasty's property that had been sorted out from his arms.

When the emperor heard this, his expression changed again and again. After all, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only wave his hand feebly, which was regarded as agreement.

"Then I'll retreat first."

With a smile on her face, Shen Ling followed the chief eunuch to the treasury, checked against the list, and immediately affixed a seal on the spot. Even the palace officials did not use it, and directly called people from the Imperial Prefect's Mansion to watch them. Carry boxes back one by one.

After confirming, Shen Ling returned to the emperor, hid her hand in her sleeves and flicked the Gu insect accurately to his neck. After a while, the old emperor felt it.

The old emperor clenched his hands and found that he had regained his strength. He stood up and found that his head was no longer dizzy. His energy was restored and he was full of energy again.

Strange!

Is it possible that God really has eyes?

The old emperor squinted his eyes, with confused thoughts in his mind. He looked at the backs of Jing Si and Shen Ling leaving. After hearing the eunuch's report on the state of the treasury, he almost fainted and fainted again.

The treasury was almost emptied by her!!!

The pain in the old emperor's heart was unbearable. It took him a long time to calm down, and then he felt a little relieved.

Lin Fengzhi heard the news and hurried over. Seeing the emperor's sad face, she had an idea and lowered her voice and said: "Your Majesty, I have a good way to replenish the treasury, but I don't know if you are willing to do it."

"oh?"

When the old emperor heard this, he immediately became interested and motioned for her to continue.

"Your Majesty, my concubine's birthday is approaching. In fact, you can use this excuse to make the ministers below you pay filial piety. And I heard that the custom of buying and selling officials is still there. Why don't you also find a idle position? As long as the wealthy merchants want to get rid of Anyone with a low reputation can give up money to buy an official position. No matter how much it is, it will not be returned or exchanged. The one with the highest price will get it."

Lin Fengzhi turned her tender eyes and said softly: "Are you afraid that the money won't come?"

The old emperor took advantage of his face, put one hand on his chin, and thought for a long time.

It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry, and Lin Fengzhi's heart started to flutter.

The next moment, the old emperor slapped his palm on the table, burst into laughter, hugged Lin Fengzhi into his arms, and praised her: "She is indeed my beloved concubine!"

The two were bored for a long time, and Lin Fengzhi took the time to ask the maid to go out of the palace to find Prime Minister Lin to deliver the news. Just like that, within a day, the news of the emperor selling his official position spread out.

Imperial Prefecture.

Looking at the boxes piled up in the yard, Shen Ling was happy but soon became sad.

"How to arrange so many things?"

If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that others will be jealous, especially when there is a restless Zhou Waner in the house. As the saying goes, if you guard against day and night, it is difficult to guard against domestic thieves.

She took a deep breath, with a confused look on her face. She held her chin in her hands and pondered for a long time, but she still couldn't think of a suitable idea.

Shen Ling was so serious in her thoughts that she didn't even notice when Jing Si appeared behind her.

"Are you worried?"

His cold voice sounded, and Shen Ling trembled with fright, almost falling off the stool.

"You!"

She rolled her eyes, then nodded solemnly, and told him the difficulty.

Unexpectedly, Jing Si laughed when he heard this and took the initiative to take the matter on himself. He also specially invited Shen Ling to have dinner at the newly opened Zuixiang Restaurant.

"Zuixianglou?"

"I heard that their sauce elbow, fashionable dried fruits, drunken duck, lotus leaf fish... are all very delicious."

When she talked about food, Shen Ling couldn't help but pursed her lips, and her almond-shaped eyes shone like spring water. She grabbed Jing Si's sleeve with one hand and couldn't wait to taste it. She added as she walked, "Say Okay, you’ll pay for today’s meal!”

Although the treasure has come back, she is not a squanderer!

"You're just making your wishful thinking. Don't tell me I'm here, I'm almost hearing it from the horizon."

Jing Si looked at her lovingly, only teased her a few words, and said nothing else.

When the two of them arrived at Zuixianglou, Shen Ling ordered generously: "The waiter, bring up all the good and expensive things in your shop."

"okay!"

The shopkeeper was smiling from ear to ear, and the waiters were also busy serving. He called to the private room on the second floor, "Two distinguished guests, please take a seat on the second floor."

The boy led the way along the way, and as soon as the two sat down, they were served fine Longjing tea.

"Two distinguished guests, please use your courtesy."

As the boy wisely exited, Shen Ling completely relaxed and walked to the window to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

"No wonder people who come here say this place is so beautiful. That's it."

She was quite emotional.

"Indeed, the shopkeeper of Zuixiang Building is very smart. He deliberately built the building higher than others. Sitting on the second floor, you can have a panoramic view of the entire street, especially in the evening, when the sky is colorful and people are coming and going. Occasionally there is still smoke coming from the kitchen, it’s so beautiful!”

Jing Si came to her side at some point and sighed deeply.

After listening to what he said, Shen Ling nodded, thought about it for a long time, and couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect it! I didn't expect that I thought you, the Imperial Master, were a banished immortal who didn't eat people, but I didn't expect to be able to say that. Here’s what you say!”
