Chapter 372 The Money is Gone
Hearing this, the Queen of Shui Fan Kingdom looked terrified, moved her mouth, and said helplessly;
"I really don't want to do anything. Look, even if I want to do something, I can't do it!"
As she spoke, she gestured to Ji Xingle to look at her current condition. She was covered in injuries and couldn't even get up. She really couldn't do anything.
Ji Xingle sneered;
"You can't do anything because I made the first move..."
Ji Xingle grabbed the Queen's neck and said arrogantly;
"As the ruler of a country, the people are living in dire straits, but you are living a carefree life, not seeking benefits for the people.
You let your relatives bully the defenseless people, and you are a good guy, don't you think no one can do anything to you?"
"No...no...no, I...I was wrong..."
The feeling of being on the verge of death came over her again, and the queen was so scared that she could only admit her mistake and beg for mercy, even changing her name.
"I heard that you are planning to arrest the family members of the wife and husband?"
"no no..."
Seeing that the queen wanted to deny it, Ji Xingle jokingly said;
"No? Nothing? Didn't catch them? You never expected that, did you? Their families are no longer here.
Do you think that you are the only one with supernatural powers and others won't prepare for a rainy day?"
Ji Xingle dragged the empress to the desk and put the pen in her hand;
"You...what do you want to do?"
"Don't worry. I'll ask you to write a letter to give up hunting down their family members."
"Write it, will you let me go?"
Ji Xingle said coldly, "Write it."
"Okay, okay, I'll write, I'll write..."
After the Queen finished writing, Ji Xingle asked her to send the letter out. The Queen hesitated.
She was injured like this now, and the people outside the door were all killed. Now she could only wait for the next patrol to arrive.
If the patrol had arrived, she would have been saved.
Seeing this, Ji Xingle walked behind the screen, brought out a basin of ice water, and poured it on Rong Mama's face.
"hiss..."
When Rong Mama woke up, she didn't care about the coldness on her body, nor did she see the situation clearly. She only knew that she was attacked by surprise, and the queen must be in danger. She hurriedly said;
"Help, help..."
"Snapped!"
Ji Xingle came to Rong Mama and slapped her, bringing the still screaming Rong Mama back to her senses.
Rong Mama touched her face and stared at Ji Xingle blankly, then she made a sharp sound and pointed at Ji Xingle;
"You...you...someone come! There is a thorn..."
"Snapped!"
The two sides of her face became symmetrical. Rong Mama shuddered and finally stopped talking. She looked around tremblingly.
Seeing the queen sitting there covered in wounds, tears immediately filled his eyes and he said in disbelief;
"Your Majesty..." (;′??Д??`)
How could this happen? She fainted for a moment. How could her Queen become like this?
Ji Xingle's impatient voice rang out;
"Have you come back to your senses?"
Rong Mama was startled and looked at Ji Xingle with horror. Under Ji Xingle's pressure, she nodded;
"I'm back..."
Ji Xingle gave the empress a look, and the empress immediately asked Rong Mama to deliver the letter and stop the hunt for the wife, husband and their two families.
Before Rong Mama left, Ji Xingle's warning sounded;
"Don't play tricks, or I can't guarantee what will happen to your Queen."
"Yes...Yes...I will remember this..."
After a while, after confirming that the letter had been sent, Ji Xingle patted the queen's face;
"Be a good queen and take care of the people. I will watch over you from behind.
If you still insist on not changing your ways, then your throne will be taken by someone else.
Don't think I'm kidding, I mean what I say."ˉ\_(ツ)_/ˉ
"Yes Yes Yes..."
As soon as Ji Xingle left, the queen instantly breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.
Madam Rong didn't care about herself and ran outside and shouted;
"Someone come! Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician..."
After the imperial physician's examination, the empress suffered serious internal injuries and needed to recuperate and rest...
On the other side, in the backyard of the imperial palace, the nobles who had bullied Yue E's father and even helped him were in a serious mood. Everyone looked solemn.
All their money was gone, as were many of their favorite jewelry and rewards.
The Queen wanted to tell the Queen about this, but she got news from her spy that the Queen was seriously injured...
Now is not a good time to talk about things, so I can only order my subordinates to investigate secretly, and also wrote a letter home, asking my family to pay more attention to the jewelry on the market.
The news of the Queen's injury was also blocked by the Queen, and only a few people knew about it.
They wanted to visit the Queen, but were stopped.
The next day, the concubines in the harem heard that the empress had woken up and came to show their concern. Yue'e's father also followed behind with a bulging belly.
The two adult princesses also stood guard diligently, fearing that the empress would accidentally appoint another one as the heir.
"Queen Mother, are you okay?" (′▽｀)
"Queen, how are you?"
The Queen replied weakly one by one, thinking of what Ji Xingle said, she looked up at the children and beauties wearing gold and silver, and after thinking for a moment, she said to everyone;
"From now on, the salary of each palace will be halved except for those who are pregnant. We also need to donate some unused items..."
"why?"
The princesses asked softly.
The other pet kings were dissatisfied and could only grumble quietly. Some of the people whose things were stolen even felt like the sky was falling when they heard the news.
The Queen knew they would be unhappy, but didn't know the exact reason, so she explained;
"There are more and more people who can't get enough food. As people in power, we should think about them.
In this special period, only when there is a family can there be a country. Otherwise, the lower-class people will starve to death and there will be no labor force. Who will work for the country and protect the country? "
Hearing this, the queen helplessly told them about the theft that happened yesterday.
Hearing this, the Queen was shocked, and then asked if everyone had been robbed? Did anyone see the perpetrator, and what was the exact time of the crime?
Yue'e's father and other nobles were smart and said they were also stolen.
The Queen and the others looked at each other and told an approximate time. The Queen's face was solemn. The image of the murderer yesterday flashed through her mind.
Although she didn't want to admit it, except for her, no one else could come and go in the palace quietly.
The queen and her friends were still waiting for the queen to help them out! But the next second, the queen said something that made them feel hopeless;
"Don't look for it anymore. Just pretend it's gone. Then find a way to donate some so that the people can have food first..."
The Queen and the others were confused;
"Why, why?"
The Queen said irritably;
"Whatever I say is what it is, just do as I say..."
"Well, we don't have any silver either. How are we going to get it?"
The Queen paused, then continued;
"Go to your father's house first. Your father's family will subsidize you often anyway..."
"What...what?" ( ；′Д｀)
The Queen and others were so shocked that they were speechless. Is this what a king of a country would say?
Even among the common people, I have never heard of a wife who would openly ask her husband to go back to his father's house to ask for money. Is she still an empress? ( ；′Д｀)
