Chapter 131 Gold Theft 2
The wind and rain outside have stopped today, and the rain-drenched path is now muddy.

Last night, he fell asleep waiting and waiting, and when he woke up, Li Chuan was no longer by his side.

He got up, put on his clothes and walked around, and when he reached the door, Li Chuan came back, with a person behind him, Shen Yicheng didn't know this person, but he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

"Where did you go all morning?" Shen Yicheng pointed to the person behind him and asked, "You didn't stay up all night just to catch him, did you?"

Li Chuan threw the man in front of the Buddha statue. The man's black hair was faintly mixed with a few strands of white hair, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were cloudy. He cried out immediately after being thrown to the ground, rubbing his waist, his tone Quite confidently: "What are you doing? Ah? What are you doing? Believe it or not, I will report to the government? Let the government people clean up you!"

Shen Yicheng walked up to him and squatted down with a smile: "Say it again? Report to the official? You are quite courageous. The emperor allocated 100 taels of gold to the Jingzhou flood-stricken area to build dams and bridges, but how did you hear that?" Later, the 100 taels of gold were washed away by the flood and not a cent was recovered?"

The old man froze his hands, looked at Shen Yicheng and shouted: "Who are you? Can you inquire about this kind of thing?!"

"Can you find out who I am?" Shen Yicheng stretched out his hand and pulled off a bunch of white hair on his head: "Young master has inquired about it. You also participated in this matter back then, right?"

"What are you talking about!!! How could this matter have something to do with me? Also, don't pull my hair." The old man stroked his hair, very dissatisfied.

Suddenly there were dark clouds rolling outside again, and it looked like it was going to rain again. The wind was howling, and after a while, heavy rain fell, and the candles lit in front of the incense table flickered on and off.

The old man glanced at the Buddha statue, then suddenly turned over and knelt down to worship.

Shen Yicheng got up and walked to Li Chuan, whispering, "What is he doing?"

Li Chuan shook his head, "I don't know, let's take a look."

After the old man finished worshiping Shen Yicheng, he grabbed him by the collar and dragged him up: "What did you do here yesterday?"

"It wasn't yesterday, it was this morning." Li Chuan reminded him.

Shen Yicheng nodded: "Yes, what are you doing here?"

"I... I'm here, I'm just here to take a look." The old man frowned, obviously dissatisfied: "Besides, there's nothing here, so I can't take a look?"

"Okay, Li Chuan, tie him to the tree outside, full of lies, it's better to strike him dead with lightning!" Shen Yicheng threw him to Li Chuan, clapped his hands and walked outside the door to look at the tree: "Tsk tsk, this tree is growing well, and it will definitely attract a big thunder."

Li Chuan smiled, and dragged the old man outside, when there was a thunderclap within a few steps, he was so frightened that he covered his ears tightly with his hands and yelled, "I'll tell you! Let me go, let me tell you!" , I said that’s it.”

So he was dragged back by Li Chuan again, Shen Yicheng glanced at Li Chuan, and threw his coat to him: "Tacha, don't make yourself sick because of this grandson."

Li Chuan pursed his lips, took his clothes, walked to the side and sat down.

Shen Yicheng waved to the old man: "Come, come, talk to me."

The old man ran over and told what happened back then.

……

Ning Jinsi has been idle in the yard for several days, it has been raining these days, the flowers and plants in the backyard grow much faster after being drenched in the rain, and within a few days they are covered with buds.

She stood at the end of the cross corridor, and Mingyue trotted over behind her: "Miss, the empress sent someone to ask you to go to the palace for a short talk."

Ning Jinsi nodded, then turned around and went back to the room to freshen up. She was going to the palace, but she didn't know the reason, so she could save herself to think of a way.

After changing her clothes, she went out and got into the carriage. The house she bought was a bit out of the way, and it was still far away from the imperial palace.

It was noon now, and it had rained again, so not many people and carriages arrived at the gate of the palace unimpeded on the road.

Mingyue helped her get out of the car, and a maidservant was waiting in front of her. Seeing them coming, she stepped forward: "The empress is waiting for you in Changchun Palace, please come with your maidservant."

Ning Jinsi nodded, followed the maidservant, turned around many places, and finally passed a small pavilion. There was a person in the pavilion. She glanced at it unintentionally, and felt that the back was very familiar, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was wrong. It's only been a few days, how could she be in the palace of the Northern Kingdom?
The servant girl glanced at the pavilion and saw Ning Jinsi looking at her, so she said, "This is the new beauty the emperor has found."

"When did she enter the palace?" Ning Jinsi asked.

The maid thought about it carefully, and replied: "About two months ago, the emperor brought it back from hunting. Miss Ning, here we are."

The two were talking, and they arrived before they knew it. She smiled at the maidservant: "Thank you."

The maid bent over, turned around and left.

Seeing that she was still standing outside in a daze, the queen whispered, "What are you doing standing outside? Come in quickly?"

Ning Jinsi came back to her senses, lifted her skirt and walked in, while Mingyue was waiting outside.

The decoration in the hall is gorgeous, and everything is full of elegance and luxury. The queen is even more beautiful. She wears a high-end gold and expensive headgear on her head. She looks a year or two older than Ning Jinsi. When she smiles, there are two pale faces on her face Shallow dimples.

"Why didn't someone send me a letter when I came here?" The queen poured her a cup of tea, and there were many dried fruit snacks on the table.

Ning Jinsi stretched out her hand to take it: "Isn't it only a few days since I came here, I think I will come back in a few days."

The queen smiled: "How many days? If I don't call you, you might have a few more years. Tell me, what's the matter this time?"

"Where's Yunchen?" Ning Jinsi put down the teacup, "His people kidnapped my sister and came here specifically to find him."

"How can you call out the crown prince's name casually? Fortunately, there is no one here, otherwise those little vixens in the backyard might say what kind of cronies I have made."

"All right, all right, what about others?"

The queen ate the dried fruit, thinking, "It seems that he is not in the palace, but I think he will not do things that offend you."

"Has he done less?" Ning Jinsi said angrily, and reached out to grab a handful of melon seeds: "Fortunately, he was not born by you, if you were born, I will teach him a good lesson for you."

The two were good friends when they were young. At that time, the queen was still the eldest lady of the Sun family. The ancestors of the Sun family made great contributions to the war with the former emperor of the Northern Kingdom. Later, Sun Yu married the current emperor and became the queen. This is the grandson. The first queen of the family, they all hope that she can win over the emperor's heart, have children, and add another power to the Sun family.

But Sun Yu didn't fulfill their wishes. She spent all day in the palace just eating, drinking and having fun, and she was arrogant from time to time. She has been in the palace for four or five years. It stands to reason that if the prince does not give birth to a princess, there must be a princess, right?But Sun Yu didn't have one, so the emperor got into a fight with her and asked Sun Yu to give birth to him.

Later, when Ning Jinsi returned to Chang'an, the two of them only communicated by letter.
