At first, Liu Ruyan didn't care. The gossip in the back palace was not once or twice. Although it sounded ugly, it always disappeared with time.
However, this time it was not as Liu Ruyan thought. After all, the matter involved a wide range. The concubines had long been dissatisfied with Liu Ruyan and had been thinking about the wrong place to catch Liu Ruyan. How could they let Liu Ruyan go as soon as the matter came out.
So Yun's concubines, led by several concubines, followed them to the imperial study. They jointly wrote a complaint to Lian Chengming, chiseled their words, and pointed the spearhead at Liu Ruyan.
That is to say, as a queen, Liu Ruyan can't set an example, but knows the law and breaks the law. This is clearly blaspheming the queen and claiming that Liu Ruyan is not worthy of being the queen. Please find out the matter and severely punish Liu Ruyan to correct the atmosphere of the harem.
When Lian Chengming heard the noise outside, he summoned father-in-law Xu to come up and knew that the concubines were coming. What had been pressed by Liu Ruyan finally came to Lian Chengming.
"Your Majesty, the empress is really in trouble this time. The deficit in this account is huge. If you can't find any appropriate reason, you're afraid it's difficult to convince the public." father Xu sweated a cold sweat on his forehead and sighed when he looked at Lian Chengming's face getting colder. "All the ladies asked to see your majesty and are waiting outside at this time."
He threw the folds handed over by his concubines on the desk. Lian Chengming looked out through the window and then said, "tell the guards to dismiss all the people. There are no queens or widows in the back palace. Why should they worry here? This is to rebel."
The voice was cold and fierce, and Lian Chengming's face was very ugly: "tell them that I will find out whether it has anything to do with the queen. I can't speak until the matter is found out. I'll dismiss everyone immediately. In addition, I'll call the queen."
"Yes." Duke Xu nodded quickly when he heard the speech, bowed his hand and saluted Lian Chengming, then withdrew.
There was a moment of silence outside, and then there was a more fierce noise than before, but it was soon suppressed. The guards standing in front of the royal library were not for decoration. They were all ferocious. No one dared not stop the weapons.
Moreover, these concubines were only women in the deep palace. Although they were angry for a while, they were easily deterred by the bodyguards and were driven away reluctantly and angrily.
At the same time, father-in-law Xu sent someone to the Yu'an hall to invite someone. Liu Ruyan was sitting in the main hall of the Yu'an hall and thinking about the account book. No matter how he wanted to find out the things in the account, Liu Ruyan had to read the account book himself.
However, after thinking for a long time, Liu Ruyan still knows nothing. It seems that not everyone has the talent to read accounts.
"Empress, the little Xia Zi beside father-in-law Xu invited her. He said that his majesty invited her to the imperial study. If you have something to talk to her, is it not about the accounts?"
As she spoke, Jane's face looked a little worried and looked at Liu Ruyan's eyes without blinking.
Liu Ruyan waved his hand and said, "your majesty will know sooner or later. He originally wanted to find out the matter and not give him trouble. It seems that some people don't give us this opportunity."
With a slight sigh, Liu Ruyan got up and walked out and said, "just go. It's just a trip. It's not someone else. What are you afraid of?"
He took zhen'er all the way to the imperial study. Lian Chengming in the study was already waiting. He just looked at the fold with his head down. He couldn't see the appearance of waiting for others.
Hearing the news, he looked up at Liu Ruyan, and Lian Chengming whispered, "I'm in trouble so soon."
"..." Liu Ruyan immediately said, "Your Majesty, this statement is wrong. The problem with the accounts is clearly that someone is doing things secretly. I've been calculated. How can I say that I'm in trouble?"
He sat down beside Lian Chengming in frustration. Liu Ruyan was very sad and complained with his chin: "I'm so cautious. Why would I get caught? It's really impossible to prevent."
Lian Chengming couldn't help looking at Liu Ruyan: "it will take you three days to investigate the matter as soon as possible and recover the money in deficit. This is not a small amount. The refugee issue has just made progress recently. If something goes wrong at this time, you can't escape the blame. Then the matter will be more difficult."
"I know..." Liu Ruyan nodded and couldn't be happy at all.
Lian Chengming sighed slightly, turned to Liu Ruyan and comforted him, "it's not accountability to come to you today, but you should know that as a queen, there will be many more difficult things in the future. You should learn to deal with them. I can help you, but I can't help you in everything. If I'm not here, I hope you can be safe."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan suddenly straightened up, looked at Lian Chengming, and asked seriously, "why aren't you here?"
Seeing Liu Ruyan's flustered look, Lian Chengming couldn't help smiling. He raised his hand and took Liu Ruyan into his arms and said with a smile: "I'm just making an analogy. You don't have to worry so much. I won't leave you."
Later, the government sent a letter saying that Mrs. Liu suddenly contracted a serious disease and was bedridden. The situation was a little serious. Liu Ruyan is checking the accounts. He hasn't made any progress in studying the accounts for a few days. He is startled by his words. He quickly asks someone to report to lianchengming that he wants to leave the palace.
Before long, my father-in-law hurried over and asked Liu Ruyan with an embarrassed face: "take it easy, madam. Your majesty knew that Mrs. Liu was ill, so he immediately sent someone out of the palace to visit and asked the imperial doctor to go together. Mrs. Liu's lucky people have their own appearance and will be fine."
"What do you mean, that means I can't leave the palace?" Liu Ruyan was packing up his things. He was stunned when he heard the speech, threw the package back, and looked at father Xu's face very angry.
Father-in-law Xu burst into a cold sweat on his forehead, and then hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty said that this is a critical time. My mother has a heavy responsibility. It's better not to leave the palace at this time, so as not to leave a handle on people and make it difficult for my mother to do it."
"I'm just going back to the house to visit. What will I leave to people?" Liu Ruyan was angry, pushed away father-in-law Xu and went out: "I went to him personally and said that I had to leave the palace today."
"Empress!" zhen'er hurriedly caught up and shouted behind Liu Ruyan: "empress, don't worry. Your Majesty must have his Majesty's reason for doing so. At this time, it is the key time for a thorough investigation of the accounts. Your majesty may also think for the sake of your empress. Your Empress should calm down and don't leave the palace for the time being."
Seeing Liu Ruyan's footsteps stopped and slightly stunned, zhen'er knew that her persuasion was useful.
