After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

Chapter 93 Expenses

It was already dark when Ye Qinghuai came out of the bedroom.

After closing the hall door, she stood at the door and sighed softly.

Lu Yanchen insisted on resigning from the position of emperor teacher, and returned to Taiqing Pavilion to become a bachelor of compiling classics.He has made up his mind and is stubborn, Ye Qinghuai knows he can't stop persuading him.

The moment the door was closed, Ye Qinghuai suddenly felt very lonely.

In this resplendent palace, she is surrounded by people who rely on her, but there is no one she can rely on.

She has no parents or elders to ask for advice. Lu Yanchen is her teacher and her only reliance. In the past, she was always the first to think of Lu Yanchen when she was in doubt.

But now she has lost even this only reliance.

From now on, the sky above her head can only be supported by herself.

"Your Majesty, it's past Xu time, it's time for dinner." Li Baoquan's voice came from behind Ye Qinghuai.

Ye Qinghuai turned around, glanced at Li Baoquan with a complicated expression, and said, "Li Baoquan, come and serve meals."
-
"You all go down, it's enough to leave Li Baoquan alone to serve you." Ye Qinghuai ordered at the dining table.

The maidservants in the room responded, and filed out of the room, closing the door behind them.

Li Baoquan quickly raised his eyes to look at Ye Qinghuai, and seeing that her expression was normal, he lowered his head again and waited aside.

"How about Chu Dingguo?" Ye Qinghuai asked without raising his head while stirring the balls in the bowl with a spoon.

"I have already ordered, and the guards on duty at the guardhouse tonight have also been transferred. General Chu should not encounter any obstruction when he goes to worship." Li Baoquan replied.

Ye Qinghuai nodded and said, "You have always done things safely."

There was silence between the two for a while, Ye Qinghuai took out the gold medal of Emperor Shunping from his bosom, and put it on the table.

"Have you seen this?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Li Baoquan's face, as if he had thought of something, but he quickly covered it up.

"I haven't seen it. From the looks of it, it should be a gold medal made by the first emperor when he was in power." Li Baoquan replied.

"anything else?"

Li Baoquan was silent for a long time, and said: "I don't know anymore."

Ye Qinghuai raised his head and looked at Li Baoquan. He lowered his head, looking very calm, without any panic.

Li Baoquan's mouth was very strict, Ye Qinghuai knew it, and Ye Qinghuai expected him to react like this.

"Why did you send the news to Lu Yanchen? Is there any relationship between Eunuch Li and Mr. Lu?" Ye Qinghuai asked straightforwardly.

Li Baoquan glanced at the gold medal, and then replied: "Because of the last words left by the late emperor to this old slave. The late emperor said that if it is really a last resort, you can go to Mr. Lu."

Li Baoquan was a young eunuch who grew up with Emperor Shunping. The relationship between Emperor Shunping and him is very comparable.Until his deathbed, Li Baoquan was the only one who waited on his bedside.

"What is the last resort?" Ye Qinghuai asked thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty didn't let the servant follow in the Sunrise Palace. The servant was really worried and couldn't think of any other way, so he asked someone to report to Mr. Lu."

"Is that your first time looking for Lu Yanchen?"

Li Baoquan nodded: "Yes. The servant has never said a word to Mr. Lu before."

This is the same rhetoric as Lu Yanchen.

Ye Qinghuai thought for a while, and asked, "Didn't the late Emperor tell you why he asked you to find Mr. Lu?"

"No."

Emperor Shunping's inexplicable operation made Ye Qinghuai puzzled, and that outrageous idea popped up in her mind again.

Could it be that Lu Yanchen is the blood of his father's exile?

She stroked her forehead, feeling a little headache.

Seeing Ye Qinghuai's distressed appearance, Li Baoquan said: "Your Majesty, I have a guess, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Ye Qinghuai rubbed her forehead and said, "Speak."

"The late emperor once had a secret guard. The servant guessed that perhaps His Majesty handed over this secret guard to Mr. Lu, and that's why he gave the slave such orders."

"You mean Eagle Guard?"

Hearing this name, Li Baoquan was a little surprised, and said: "Your Majesty knows?"

Ye Qinghuai pushed the gold medal in front of him and said, "Since you know Yingwei, don't you know this?"

Li Baoquan shook his head in confusion.

"This is a token that can command the Eagle Guard."

"As expected..." Li Baoquan muttered to himself, he came back to his senses, and asked Ye Qinghuai in surprise, "Your Majesty got this from Mr. Lu?"

"Yes."

Li Baoquan looked at the gold medal, his face suddenly became agitated, and he seemed to want to say a lot. Finally, he raised his sleeve and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, this old servant said something inappropriate. I really took my heart out, and I have nothing to say."

He was so excited, but it was beyond Ye Qinghuai's expectation.Ye Qinghuai couldn't help asking: "Why did Eunuch Li say that?"

"Your Majesty may not understand Eagle Guards. Let me tell you this, my servant, even if His Majesty asks them to assassinate the leader of a country, it is not impossible."

After finishing speaking, he murmured again: "Fortunately, the late emperor gave it to Mr. Lu. If it was handed over to someone else, I really dare not even think about it..."

Li Baoquan is cautious by nature, he can say such words, it shows that Yingwei should really have such ability.

When he said this, Ye Qinghuai was also a little scared.

If someone with a heart could get this gold medal, perhaps she would have already been decapitated.

From this point of view, Lu Yanchen's ability to hand over this gold medal to her without hesitation is indeed a sign of loyalty.

"How did you know about Yingwei?" Ye Qinghuai asked, remembering Lu Yanchen's entrustment to find Li Baoquan with a gold medal when he was on the verge of death.

"The slave has never had any contact with the Eagle Guard, but the monthly expenses of the Eagle Guard are all from the account of the inner court. From the early years of Shunping to the present, it has never been in the hands of others for so many years. It is all managed by the slave himself. .”

"Monthly expenses? What expenses does Eagle Guard need?"

"I don't know exactly what the Eagle Guard pays. This is not the slave's business. The slave is only responsible for delivering the money on time every month."

Ye Qinghuai frowned: "Where do you send the money?"

Li Baoquan thought about it, and said: "Zhaowu Street, Baofeng Bank."

Zhaowu Street is in Shangsanfang East District, and Baofeng Bank is also a well-known big bank in Dajing, with semicolons in many places.

"How much do you want to give each month?" Ye Qinghuai asked.

"10 taels of silver per month."

"10 taels?!" Ye Qinghuai blurted out, she stared at Li Baoquan dumbfounded.

"120 million taels of silver a year?" Ye Qinghuai confirmed again.

"Yes."

Ye Qinghuai squeezed her forehead.

Now she not only has a headache, she feels pain all over her body.
