Princess Consort Is No Pushover

She also needs to open more medical clinics, recruit more apprentices, and strive to improve the medical level of Chu State, so that the people can truly live and work in peace and contentment.

royal palace.

Since Emperor Hongyuan tasted the benefits of the elixir last time, he asked the queen to call Li Changliu into the palace and ask him to develop the elixir for him.

In the past few days, after taking the elixir, he felt that he was very brave in bed, and he conquered several concubines at once.

Therefore, he liked this elixir more and more, to the point where he would take it every night to pamper his concubines.

He also trusted Li Changliu more and more, and appointed him as the national teacher, asking him to develop more powerful elixir.

Today, when he and Concubine Xue were tossing about in the red tent, they suddenly heard Xu Gonggong report, "Your Majesty, it's not good! His Highness Prince Li tied Mrs. Wei into the palace and said that she would sue Mrs. Wei." A crime of embezzling disaster relief money!"

"What? How did this happen?" Emperor Hongyuan quickly got up from Concubine Xue with a solemn expression on his face.

"Not only that, His Royal Highness Li Wang also said that Mrs. Wei's embezzlement of disaster relief money is related to the empress. Now he has summoned many ministers, and everyone went to the imperial study together, saying that they want to see you." Xu Gonggong said.

Emperor Hongyuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Come and change clothes for me, I will go to the imperial study right away."

The people are the foundation of the country, if the queen and Mrs. Wei really embezzled the disaster relief funds, he will never let them go! -

Soon, Emperor Hongyuan changed his clothes, led his servants, and quickly came to the imperial study.

At this time, all the ministers have already waited in the side hall.

Seeing Emperor Hongyuan coming in, everyone headed by Chu Xuanchen hurriedly saluted him, "See the emperor."

"Pingshen." After Emperor Hongyuan finished speaking, he looked at Mrs. Wei and the others who were bound and kneeling on the ground, with sullen expressions on his face.

Pointing at them, he said, "King Li, you said Mrs. Wei Guo embezzled relief money, what is going on?"

Chu Xuanchen immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands, "Returning to the emperor, we have to start with Mrs. Wei giving porridge on the street."

"Porridge? What's wrong with this porridge, isn't it a good deed?" Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes gloomyly.

Chu Xuanchen glanced at the victims, and said, "Your Majesty, what's the problem? Could you please tell the representatives of the victims, they have witnessed what happened in the past two days with their own eyes."

Only then did Emperor Hongyuan realize that there were ten ragged and unkempt disaster victims kneeling in that corner.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Okay, you guys just tell me what happened in the past two days!"

When the victims heard this, they brought over the rice porridge they had prepared and presented it to the emperor.

Emperor Hongyuan looked up and saw that the victims were holding several bowls of porridge and some yellowed steamed buns in their hands.

When he looked into the porridge, he saw that the porridge was yellow-brown, full of worms and mixed with a lot of sand; the steamed buns were also yellow, exuding a strong sour smell, which made him sick to his stomach.

"What is this?" He asked with a livid face.

One of the victims said: "Your Majesty, this is the porridge that Mrs. Wei Guo gave to us people to drink! Mrs. Wei Guo and the Empress raised three million taels of silver under the banner of fundraising, but they actually gave us some porridge!" This porridge!"

"There are also rotten steamed buns. The steamed buns are yellow and black, and they stink. Some people ate these steamed buns, and they vomited and had diarrhea for a whole day!"

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Wei and the Queen don't really want to help the disaster at all. They just put on a show, trying to fool the common people with food that even pigs don't eat. The common people have suffered so badly from them!"
