She also wanted to open more medical centers and recruit more apprentices to improve the medical standards of the Chu Kingdom. Only then could the people live and work in peace and contentment.
Imperial Palace.
Ever since the Hongyuan Emperor tasted the benefits of the elixir, he asked the Empress to summon Li Zhangliu to the Imperial Palace and ask him to develop the elixir for him.
In the past few days, after taking the elixir, he felt that he was very brave in bed and conquered several concubines.
Therefore, he liked the elixir more and more. He liked it to the point that he would take it every night.
He trusted Li Zhangliu more and more. He even appointed him as the State Preceptor and asked him to develop more powerful elixirs.
Today, when he and Concubine Xue were having sex in a tent, he suddenly heard Eunuch Xu's report. "Your Majesty, bad news! The Emperor of Li tied Madam Wei up and brought her to the Imperial Palace. He said he wants to sue her for embezzling the relief funds! "
"What?
How could this be? "
The Hongyuan Emperor hurriedly got up from Concubine Xue with a grave expression.
"Not only that, but The Emperor of Li also said that Madam Wei's embezzlement of the relief funds has something to do with the Empress.
He has summoned many ministers and they are all going to the Imperial Study. He said he wants to see you. "
Eunuch Xu said.
The Hongyuan Emperor was stunned and hurriedly said, "Come and help me change. I will go to the Imperial Study immediately."
The people were the foundation of the country. If the Empress and Madam Wei really embezzled the relief funds, he would never let them off!
。
Soon, the Hongyuan Emperor changed his clothes and led his servants to the Imperial Study.
At this time, the ministers were already waiting in the side hall.
When they saw the Hongyuan Emperor enter, everyone, led by Chu Xuanchen, quickly bowed to him. "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Rise."
After the Hongyuan Emperor finished speaking, he looked at Madam Wei and the others who were tied up and kneeling on the ground with a sullen expression.
He pointed at them and said, "The Emperor of Li, you said that Madam Wei embezzled the relief funds. What is this about?"
Chu Xuanchen immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands. "Your Majesty, this matter started from when Madam Wei gave porridge on the street."
"Porridge?
What's wrong with giving porridge? Isn't it a good deed? "
Hongyuan Emperor narrowed his eyes darkly.
Chu Xuanchen glanced at the disaster victims and said, "Your Majesty, what's the problem?
Can you ask the representatives of the victims to tell us what happened in the past two days? "
Only then did Hongyuan Emperor discover that in the corner, there were ten ragged, unkempt victims.
He was stunned for a moment, then said, "Alright, you guys tell me what happened in the past two days!"
When the disaster victims heard this, they brought over the rice porridge that they had prepared earlier and presented it to the emperor.
The Empress looked up and saw that the victims were holding a few bowls of porridge and a few yellowed steamed buns.
He looked into the porridge and saw that it was yellowish-brown in color. It was filled with worms and sand. The steamed bun was also yellow and emitted a strong sour smell, which made him feel nauseous.
"What is this?"
He asked with an ashen face.
One of the victims said, "Your Majesty, this is the porridge that Madam Wei gave to us commoners! Madam Wei and Her Majesty the Empress raised three million taels of silver in the name of fundraising, but they actually gave us this kind of porridge! "
"There are also rotten steamed buns.
The steamed buns are yellow and black and smelly.
Some people ate these buns and vomited and had diarrhea. They had abdominal pain for a day! "
"Your Majesty, Madam Wei and the Empress didn't really want to provide relief.
They were just putting on an act. They wanted to fool the commoners with food that even pigs wouldn't eat. The commoners were so miserable because of them! "
