Chapter 604 Rich and Powerful

Bai Xianyuan only brought four people into the palace, so she must not force herself on Wu Mi's territory, otherwise they will suffer the loss.

So she nodded and left first to ask for help.

She went to the Empress Dowager first, but was told that the Empress Dowager was unwell and had not seen anyone for the time being.

Moreover, all the guards at the gate have been replaced, and Bai Xianyuan doesn't recognize any of them.

She went to the queen again.

I did see the Queen.

The queen heard her talk about the situation, but she looked sad: "Ah, it's not that I won't help you, but...you go to the emperor! Listen to what he has to say."

So Bai Xianyuan went to see the emperor again.

The emperor made her wait outside for half an hour before announcing her audience.

Bai Xianyuan went in with weak steps, and told the emperor that Concubine Jia called her aunt into the palace in the name of seeing a doctor, punished her aunt to kneel, and refused to let her go.The point is, in fact, she is not sick at all.

The emperor looked very busy, and said without raising his head, "The imperial concubine is sick. She has a heart disease."

Bai Xianyuan laughed angrily: "Heart disease? Heart disease still needs heart medicine. I'm afraid my mother can't cure it."

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at her: "Mrs. Lou is her medicine."

Bai Xianyuan: "...Father, my daughter-in-law sees that you are very busy, so I won't beat around the bush with you. What do you want my daughter-in-law to do so that Concubine Jia's 'heart disease' can be cured?"

Putting her mother under house arrest but giving her freedom is obviously to negotiate terms with her.

The emperor said: "Concubine Jia's heart disease can be mild or serious. It all depends on whether she can please her! She likes the imperial crown of the former empress dowager very much. If you can bring it, she may be fine."

Bai Xianyuan understood: "Your Majesty, are you taking my mother and threatening me to hand over the treasure? But I don't even know where the treasure is!"

The emperor: "What are you talking about? It's just treating Concubine Jia's illness! Isn't Mrs. Lou a miracle doctor? You are her descendant, a little miracle doctor. I believe that you, mother and son, will be able to cure her illness if you work together." .”

Bai Xianyuan was silent for a moment, and said: "Well, you give me a month, and I will search all possible places. If I find it, please let her go back. If you can't find it, you can take her away." Take my mother's life! Is that okay?"

The emperor did not speak.

Bai Xianyuan: "Otherwise, I'll pay for my mother's life now!"

The emperor finally said: "Okay! I will give you one month to cure Concubine Jia's illness. One month later, let her happily participate in the canonization ceremony of the new crown prince."

"The canonization ceremony of the new crown prince?" Bai Xianyuan's face paled suddenly: "Are you going to abolish the crown prince? My husband fought for the country, and his life and death are unknown, but you want to abolish him?"

The emperor lowered his eyes, with a sad look on his face: "Of course not. It's just that Ah Yuan, to tell you the truth, your father and the prince must have died after not coming back for such a long time. I am getting old, and the position of the crown prince cannot be vacant." hanging."

Bai Xianyuan's eyes turned red, and she cried and asked, "Really? Are they all gone? Are you sure?"

Seeing her crying like that, the emperor still had some compassion for her, and said, "I'm not so sure, but I can't wait like this forever, right?"

Bai Xianyuan: "I understand Father. But I really don't know where the treasure is! After a month, what if I can't find it?"

The emperor couldn't bear it again, but he was forced to this point, and he couldn't give up all his previous efforts, so he said, "I have to ask Concubine Jia about this."

Bai Xianyuan was stunned: "Ask her? Doesn't that mean my mother will die?"

The emperor: "You'd better look for it! I love Concubine Jia Gui, and I really can't bear to see her suffer. I can only do what she wants to do. You found the treasure and made her happy. Everyone is happy."

You want the treasure yourself, and you still push it on the head of Concubine Jia... Bai Xianyuan scorned the emperor, wiped away tears, and said, "Okay, my daughter-in-law will do everything I can to find it. Your Majesty, I want to go again." Let’s go to Concubine Jia’s place, and I hope the emperor will allow it.”

The emperor noticed the change in her title, and said in a bad mood, "Go."

Bai Xianyuan left, the emperor frowned as he saw her messy and heavy steps.

At this time, a servant came in and told the emperor that the queen mother invited him over, saying that the queen mother was very angry.

The emperor went reluctantly.

The Empress Dowager was really angry, and when she saw him, she sent all the servants away, and asked, "What did you do to Ah Yuan? Why did you change the guards for me, and why did you keep Ah Yuan outside and not let her in? "

The emperor said: "Don't be angry, queen mother, what can I do to her? She is still pregnant with my grandson!"

Queen Mother: "Then what do you mean?"

Emperor: "She said she didn't know where the treasure was put. Do you believe it? Anyway, I don't believe it."

Queen Mother: "For the treasure? What did you do?"

Emperor: "It's nothing. I just want to force her to tell the truth."

Queen Mother: "What are you using to force her?"

Emperor: "Let Mrs. Lou come into the palace to treat Concubine Jia. Concubine Jia and Mrs. Lou are natural enemies. Leave her mother to Concubine Jia, and she will naturally become anxious and tell the whereabouts of the treasure."

Queen Mother: "If I remember correctly, Mrs. Lou has just given birth to a child, isn't it full moon? This should be spread. What will the people say about you, the emperor, who treats Baihou's wife who died for the country like this? What will they think? Our Huan family?"

The emperor said indifferently: "What do the people know? Is it important what they think? The important thing is that we have to get the wealth accumulated by the previous dynasty, so that we can have money to raise soldiers and stabilize our Huan clan's rule!"

The Queen Mother was so angry that her veins popped out: "Are the people important? You are an emperor, and you can actually say such a thing!"

The emperor stood up suddenly, and said angrily, "Queen Mother! Don't worry about this matter. I won't do anything to them, don't worry! I arranged someone to guard outside your palace. It doesn't mean anything else."

After speaking, he went out.

"Emperor!" the Queen Mother shouted: "Emperor! You are wrong! You are absolutely wrong! People's hearts are ten thousand times more valuable than those treasures! Without people's hearts, it is useless how many treasures you have! Look at the previous dynasty, sit down With so much wealth, why don’t you just bury yourself in the grave?”

The emperor stopped and turned around and said, "Mother, you can only tell me these great principles! But do you really know my situation? Since the division of the North and the South, our Huan family has become weaker and weaker! In the court, what? It's Mu Yu who has the final say! So what is I? In the military, he still wants to point at Baihe! He obviously has a big grudge against me, and I wish I could tear him apart! But I can't! I still have to coax him in a low voice Follow him! Why? I am the emperor!"

The emperor said firmly: "Only when you have money and soldiers! The country will be stable! And I am not the previous emperor, nor am I a foolish emperor!"

The queen mother was at a loss for words.

The emperor turned and left.
