Chapter 84 If I Can Get It

Looking at Mu Tinng's back, Su Mianyue frowned. They were always at loggerheads, but Su Mianyue was very uncomfortable with mu ting's peace today. He always felt that it was a conspiracy.

"So reluctant, why not just keep someone?" Wanyan Lin did not know when she entered the room. When she saw Su Mianyue staring in the direction Mu Tinng was leaving, she became agitated for no reason and spoke mockingly.

With a blank look at Wanyan Lin, Su Mianyue consciously reached out his hand to let Wanyan Lin continue to push her through the acupoints. Nothing else mattered more than the fact that her hands could restore her health.

Wanyan Lin was not pretentious. Although he was in a bad mood, his movements were still very gentle, but his eyes were always on Su Mianyue, as if he wanted to see through her.

"This time, is it enough for you to do business without showing your face for three or five years?" Su Mianyue was referring to the result of Wanyan Lin's recent robbery.

"I didn't expect the Tianlan's treasury to be so empty. Mu Tinng was also a poor man. In total, he was less than a million taels of gold. Fortunately, the capital officials'residences were very rich, or they would have to find you to make up for the balance." Wanyan Lin said unhappily. Obviously, this harvest wasn't enough for him to last three or five years.

Su Mianyue frowned. She didn't care about Mu Tinng or the Tianlan. Naturally, she didn't know so much. She agreed with Wanyan Lin. "You're really poor." She had more than that in her private stash.

Thinking of Mu Tinng's words before he left, Su Mianyue had to worry again. How could he answer Mu Tinng tomorrow to satisfy him? No, what should I do to prevent Mu Tinng from thinking that she was too capable, so that she could be on guard and achieve her goal.

"Even if you are poor, you still want to eat the soft rice of a woman. What a pathetic emperor." Seeing what Su Mianyue was thinking, Wanyan Lin snorted again.

"Do you think women's rice is so delicious?" Su Mianyue looked up, bumped into Wanyan Lin's eyes, and said with a low smile, "Since I dare to give you such an idea, I won't let him live well. This is the price he should pay."

"Indeed, the most vicious woman." Wanyan Lin was shocked and then asked, "Didn't you say that your women are the most benevolent of women? Aren't you afraid of the emptiness of the national treasury, causing the Tianlan to be coveted by all the countries, and from then on, the war raged around, causing the people to live in poverty?"

"Although I am not a woman's benevolence, will I not be so vicious as to use the lives of thousands of people as a reward?" Su Mianyue sneered. Seeing Wanyan Lin look at her in doubt, he said, "There are three thousand beautiful ladies in the harem. How can you not give generously for the sake of making the dragon heart happy? There are hundreds of officials in the capital. Which one of them is not rich? Let alone those profiteers..."

Seeing Su Mianyue smiling like a cat, Wanyan Lin shook his head and sighed. He secretly decided not to provoke this woman in the future. Even if you were the emperor, you might not be able to bear her revenge.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Wanyan Lin had this kind of awareness, but in the future, he made a mistake that Su Mianyue hated more than Mu Tinng, and he would suffer several times more revenge.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Wanyan Lin's stiff smile, Su Mianyue asked doubtfully.

"Aren't you afraid that those officials and businessmen will turn to the common people after bleeding for the court? Their money is not easy to get." Wanyan Lin asked. He believed Su Mianyue could think of this problem and wanted to know how she could solve it.

Su Mianyue chuckled and looked at Wanyan Lin with an idiot's eyes. His lips parted and he said, "The art of imperial power."

It was just four words, containing countless meanings, which made Wanyan Lin's eyes darken.

If a woman like Su Mianyue could be his wife, would that be a smoother path?

The thought flashed by, and Wanyan Lin immediately closed his eyes, his mood also became disordered. He did not dare to imagine how he could have such an idea, not even to look away.

After the massage, Wanyan Lin didn't stay long and said, "In two days, you don't need to push the palace through the acupoints to assist. You know how to take care of yourself."

"Are you afraid of me?" Su Mianyue raised his eyes slightly and looked at Wanyan Lin with a serious face. Anger rose in his heart, but he did not know why.

"No." Wanyan Lin shook his head, unable to explain why he had made the decision at that moment, much less explain it to Su Mianyue, and said, "I still have something to do. I'll come back tomorrow."

Seeing Wanyan Lin leave, Su Mianyue said to himself, "This guy's head is not caught by the door, is it? Why does it feel like he's running away?"

Shaking his head, Su Mianyue stopped thinking about Wanyan Lin's weirdness. He thought he was really in a hurry to leave and wanted to go to bed, but he couldn't sleep until dawn.

At the beginning of the day, the imperial concubines and concubines were invited to the phoenix residence to pay their respects, including gu ling.

After everyone had exchanged pleasantries, Su Mianyue said, "Ladies and sisters, I invite you all here today to share your worries and solve the difficulties of our country and family. I believe that apart from the fact that the palace is closed, all sisters must have their own sources of information and should know what happened. I wonder what your sisters can do?"

Su Mianyue's eyes swept over the crowd and they all knew about the treasury theft.

Sure enough, the former dynasty and the harem were inseparable, which made it easier for Su Mianyue to do things well.

"All right, we are all smart people, so we won't beat around the bush. Today we are looking for your sisters to discuss things, so why not..." As soon as Su Mianyue's eyes fell on Noble Imperial Concubine Ling, she saw her face change and quickly interrupted Su Mianyue.

"The empress is the honor of the six palaces, and all the servants and concubines take the empress as their leader." Gu Linng's words were reasonable, but her words made everyone feel weird.

However, no matter which faction, they could only agree with her.

Su Mianyue smiled and said disapprovingly, "Although this palace is the empress, it has been resting and recuperating recently. The imperial doctor said that this palace is not fit to work, so he did not dare to work hard at everything and could only trouble the sisters. Besides, Noble Imperial Concubine Ling alone has the sacred favor, which must be more pleasing to the emperor. Perhaps he can give the sisters a clear path, right? Noble Imperial Concubine Ling doesn't have to refuse. No matter whether Noble Imperial Concubine Ling has an idea or not, the sisters won't laugh. The emperor will do his best."

Gu Linng was forced onto the stage by Su Mianyue and had no choice but to speak, or else it would be a waste of grace.

"Not long after the imperial concubine entered the palace, although she was favored by the emperor, she did not dare to interfere with the government with arrogance. She did not know what long xin was thinking. She was afraid that she would disappoint all her sisters." Gu lingrou weakly opened her mouth, and in one sentence, she shirked her responsibility, but it made everyone except Su Mianyue jealous.

Seeing that no one dared to say anything, Su Mianyue looked at Gu Linng with a smile and saw that Gu Linng's eyes were full of provocation. Su Mianyue was not angry and said indifferently, "It's all right. Since none of your sisters have any intention of sharing your worries for you, why bother to delay everyone's time here without fawning over you? It's all gone."

Everyone was stunned. No one expected Su Mianyue to give up the chance to please Mu Tinng like this, especially Gu Linng, who was most surprised, as if he didn't know Su Mianyue.

"Empress." Seeing that Su Mianyue was really leaving, Gu Linng hurriedly called out.

"Is something wrong with Noble Imperial Concubine Ling?" Su Mianyue stopped and looked back. The light smile was like a spring breeze, as if it could make all the women in the room lose their color.

Looking at Su Mianyue angrily, Gu Linng tried hard to suppress the jealousy in her heart and said softly, "I suddenly remembered that I wanted to donate all my personal belongings to the imperial court that day, but the emperor said that I didn't take back what I gave away. I didn't have any personal money, so I had to give up. But when my concubine heard that the emperor had come to the phoenix palace, what did he say?"

Is this digging a hole for her to jump into?

Once again, Su Mianyue shook his head and said to Gu Linng, "Your majesty came to sit down for a little while and asked about the health of this palace. He said that he would come back today without saying anything else. However, it's time for your majesty to go to court. Maybe he will come back soon."

Gu Linng looked at Su Mianyue hatefully. He didn't expect her to put the problem aside so soon. Before Gu Linng could figure out how to get Su Mianyue into the water, the other concubines couldn't hold back, especially those who were left out in the cold. How could they not seize this opportunity?

"Empress, although my position is low, I have no chance to use my salary these years. I am willing to donate a thousand taels of silver to solve the country's difficulties." A concubine in a belly-level palace dress came forward and saluted Su Mianyue.

"So it's beauty cai. She's really a wonderful person." Su Mianyue nodded. She had some impression of the 234-year-old beauty cai. She was a concubine in the crown prince's mansion. She had not been favored for years, so she smiled and said to Biwu, "Biwu, write down the name of cai meimei and make sure it's bigger. Cai meimei is the first to stand up. It shows her loyalty to the emperor and to my Tianlan. By the way, write down the donated money clearly and present it to the emperor later. Don't be careless."

When the other concubines saw that a person of no status like cai meiren had donated a thousand taels of silver, they were naturally enthusiastic about donating money. Even concubine lang and Concubine Ya also donated ten thousand taels of silver.

When Mu Tinng came to the phoenix residence and the donation was not over, Su Mianyue told Mu Tinng about it.

Upon hearing this, Mu Tinng looked at the concubines and nodded in relief, giving cai meimei a place immediately.

"Concubine is an old man in the crown prince's mansion. He has served the emperor for the longest time. Indeed, he is loyal to the emperor. This noble man deserves his title." Su Mianyue smiled and lifted the excited Concubine up, then turned to Mu Tinng and said, "Your concubines remember Concubine's soft and melodious voice, and they are very happy to hear it. Your majesty is a nostalgic person, so you must remember Concubine's soft voice."

"Well, Concubine's voice was definitely dead." Mu Tinng nodded and turned to Concubine, "I'm very tired these days. I'll come to your place tonight to listen to a song."

"Thank you, emperor long en." Concubine quickly knelt down and thanked him. Her eyes were red, but her face was full of smiles.

Concubine was no doubt an example. Even if the other donors did not get promoted, they still wanted to be pampered. The concubines who had not had the time to donate were naturally enthusiastic, and the amount was higher than the previous ones. It was very competitive. Su Mianyue also smiled and told Mu Tinng what these concubines were good at. Gu ling gritted her teeth angrily.

"All sisters have expressed their feelings. I would like to join you today." Su Mianyue smiled and looked at Gu Linng. Would she tell Gu Linng that she was the one who gave orders to people like Concubine?

Without the memory of the original owner, Su Mianyue had to spend a lot of time to get to the bottom of the harem and concubines. Otherwise, how could he tell mu ting about the merits of these people and make Gu Linng jealous?

"The empress has always been magnanimous. This donation will definitely be the best." Gu lingqiang said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Noble Imperial Concubine Ling. This palace has no intention of coming forward. After all, this palace is already the head of the six palaces. What is there to argue about in this harem? Noble Imperial Concubine Ling, on the other hand, has already shown that he is in a tight pocket, and the palace knows that Noble Imperial Concubine Ling is inconvenient, but this donation list will be made public and used as a basis for officials and businessmen, so..." Su Mianyue smiled elegantly, ignoring Gu Linng's twisted face, and looked at the slightly darkened Mu Tinng. She smiled and said, "Your majesty, I know that you love Noble Imperial Concubine Ling. I also love your majesty."

"What does the queen mean?" Mu Tinng asked in a deep voice.

Su Mianyue smiled, not caring about Mu Tinng's reaction, and continued: "My concubine wants to ask for a favor for Concubine, who made the first donation today, and xie zhaoyi, who has made the most donations so far. With 40,000 taels of silver from my concubine, I will buy two jade bracelets from the emperor to give to Noble Imperial Concubine Ling and give them to them. The first is to let them touch the good fortune of concubine ling and get more favors. The other is that the forty thousand taels of silver are recorded in the book, and it is Noble Imperial Concubine Ling who has contributed a little to the court. What does the emperor think?"

Mu Tinng nodded almost without thinking. While others were donating, Mu Tinng had already discussed with Su Mianyue that the donation could not be made only in the inner court, so the list needed to be made public. Naturally, it was also because the spirit princess had no personal money that she had to worry about, but it was not easy to give this money for gu ling. This would kill two birds with one stone.

But Gu Linng didn't think about it at all. He just felt that Su Mianyue was slapping her in the face and was furious.
