I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 9
"Do you really think it's meaningless?" Deng Sui looked at the servant in front of him, without any change on his face because of his attitude, "Maybe it is. Now whether you say it or not, it's to you There is no change in terms of.

But if you say so, if you can return that box of jewels, maybe."

"What? If I take back the jewels, will the Queen Mother spare my life?" The servant seemed to be really open to seeing everything.

Facing Deng Sui's words, he didn't have the slightest intention of regretting it.
As for his attitude, Deng Sui seemed to have understood it a long time ago.

"Sure enough." Deng Sui sneered directly, and then said softly to the man, "It seems that you have made all the preparations.

Even if you get caught, you won't regret it.

But why are you doing this?
You are just eunuch servants in this palace, and you don't look like the children of any family.

It should just be from a poor background, no one will let you use such a low-level, such an unsightly method to deal with me at this time.

Think about what happened to you, right? Need money? "

Deng Sui's voice was gentle, but the attitude of the three people was still extremely silent, but the two guys who kowtowed and shouted that they were wronged finally stopped saying anything wronged at this time.

It's just that they still refuse to plead guilty now, and their attitude seems to be the same as Deng Sui's stubborn resistance to the end.

And their attitude, as well as those words just now, have made Cai Lun understand that these three people are the ones who did such things.

At this moment, he was ready to stand up and directly torture these three people. He believed that no matter how stubborn these people were.

Facing his severe punishment, he had to open his mouth obediently in the end!
There are many people in this world who are not afraid of death, but just because someone is not afraid of death does not mean that he is not afraid of pain!

Cai Lun, whose eyes gradually became fierce, was just about to lift his legs when he saw a pair of eyes full of tenderness staring at him.

His eyes were soft like water, and there was no fear or panic in the calmness, not even any bad blueness.

These eyes are so clean, so clean that they shouldn't appear in this palace that looks magnificent but is actually full of filth.
And it was such a pair of clean eyes, such a calm look, that finally calmed down all his impulsiveness and restlessness, and calmed down his mood again.

"Yes. You lack money, you need money, so you take risks."

Deng Sui's soft voice appeared in everyone's ears again, but this time the topic changed suddenly after she finished speaking.
"But have you forgotten that what you took away was a box of sealed jewels, not a box of copper coins that could be used immediately.

No matter what you urgently need these money for, you always have to sell these jewels into money.

But have you figured out how to sell it?
Even if this box of jewels is priceless, if you can't sell them, it's probably a pile of trash.

It has no effect on you or your family. In the end, I can only look at the box of jewels that are useless and sigh. "

Deng Sui's words were still gentle, but what she said pierced everyone's hearts directly. At this moment, the faces of the three who were still persisting began to turn red.

Perhaps it was guilt, or perhaps it was Deng Sui's words that really reached their hearts, which immediately changed their expressions.

At this moment, the way Cai Lun looked at Deng Sui couldn't help but give birth to a somewhat different look.

At the same time, there are some emotions in my heart.

"It seems that this Queen Mother is not as simple as it seems."

Sure enough, Cai Lun saw the changes in the expressions of the three people, and at the same time, Deng Sui saw the truth.

She understood that the minds of this group of people were already confused.

However, Deng Sui didn't continue to do anything to them while the iron was hot at this time, but directly spoke to Cai Lun with a bit of a smile.

"Shang Fang Ling, can you draw some money from my palace expenses?"

"The queen mother is the queen mother of a big man, this is a matter of taking it"

"Even if I'm the queen mother, I should lead by example, use more and use less, everything is supported by laws, and you should not act recklessly.

This month, the expenses of this palace will be halved, just take that half of the expenses. "

Deng Sui's words made Cai Lun silent for a moment again, and after looking at the other party for a long time, he slowly bowed towards Deng Sui to salute.

Then he turned and left with a big stride.

Soon Cai Lun came back again, this time he came back with a box full of five baht coins.

"Queen, this is"

"Is this half of the palace's expenses this month?" Deng Sui seemed to be surprised by the money and silk in this box, and his face unconsciously became a little ugly.

"My expenses are too much, starting today, all my expenses will be halved!
Even this month, the remaining expenses have been halved again, and unnecessary things don't have to be sent to the palace anymore. "

When Deng Sui said these words, the corners of Cai Lun's mouth could not help but twitch.

He could imagine how many people would be mourning and mourning in the palace for the next few days.

Although Deng Sui said that his own expenses were halved, the empress dowager, who is the most powerful man in the face of the great man, has already halved his expenses.

If the people below are still as they are, then he is not far from death!
And after Deng Sui gave the order, he didn't bother to talk about it anymore, and walked up to the three of them again and said softly.

"This money is given to you by this Palace.

In other words, I gave it to your family members. I know that something must have happened in your family, so I let you take such a risk.

Since you have done this, then I must punish you.

But after all, you are the palace people of this palace, and your family members are also people of this palace. I can't stand by and watch your family members suffer without being indifferent.

These money may change the current situation of your family.

Of course, nothing can be changed, but it's better than doing nothing.

How to choose is up to you. "

After Deng Sui finished speaking, he asked someone to deliver the box of money to the three of them. Compared with a box of jewels, this box of five baht money is of course a drop in the bucket.

But those words Deng Sui said before were directly imprinted in their hearts
