Mo Qingyan knelt on the ground. Because she had lowered her head, she could not see the expressions of First Madame and Second Madame. However, she could clearly feel that First Madame was already trembling from anger.
"Your Majesty, I hate you. There are still so many people here. " Imperial Concubine Tao laughed bashfully, and buried her face in Long Sheng's embrace.
Feeling the soft and weak body in his embrace, coupled with the smooth and touching feeling of her skin on his skin, Long Sheng only felt his mind surging.
His big palm couldn't help but move back and forth. Imperial Concubine Tao frowned. In the end, she didn't stop him.
"Since my imperial concubine has already spoken, I will naturally instruct the treasury to prepare more materials for them. You can all go down first. "
Knowing that this was already the best outcome, First Madame and Second Madame could only leave, despite feeling extremely humiliated.
Only, Mo Qingyan had not completed all the tasks that he wanted to do. How could he let Long Sheng fool him so easily?
"Your Majesty, this subject's daughter has another matter to report to Your Majesty." Mo Qingyan lowered his head, almost touching the ground.
Long Sheng's face immediately revealed an impatient look, and upon seeing that, Gao De immediately scolded: Miss Mo, the Emperor has already shown mercy to the outside world, what more do you want?
Unexpectedly, Mo Qingyan didn't have any reaction, but the Imperial Concubine Tao, who was in Long Sheng's embrace, shivered a little. Long Sheng was immediately displeased, and glared fiercely at Gao De.
"Keep your voice down! You scared the imperial concubine. Can this dog's life be compensated for? " Long Sheng wanted to kick Gao De's buttocks, it was just that it was not convenient for him to hug the beauty.
"Yes, this servant understands his mistake." Gao De immediately fawned over them and smiled, as he lowered his head and apologized. A vicious light flashed in his eyes.
Ever since the Imperial Concubine Tao came back this time, he felt very troubled.
Gao De had long felt that he could not take it anymore, it was just that the Imperial Concubine Tao was in the limelight, so he could only avoid time and time again.
"Hurry up and tell me. Then, you can leave." Afraid that he would scare the Imperial Concubine Tao again, Long Sheng couldn't help but soften his voice.
"Your Majesty, although our dynasty has been able to harvest much these years, it has not been very much. I'm afraid it will be difficult to support the army through the winter. Before my daughter followed my aunt into the palace, my grandmother fainted from worry. "
"Your Majesty, in order to allow the army to safely pass through this period of time, this subject is willing to persuade all the important officials of the imperial court to contribute silver taels and other materials to support the army. Jiang Mansion and Minister's Mansion will set an example! "
Mo Qingyan explained his plan to him, and then, he waited for Long Sheng's reply.
With Long Sheng's character, he had such a good opportunity to take inventory of the official's assets. She did not believe that Long Sheng would not be moved, and sure enough, Long Sheng's expression slightly changed.
He did not think of such a good method. Making the ministers spit out the money he had spent over the years was a good idea.
"You are really intelligent! Since this is your idea, you might as well do as you say and lobby the ministers. We can authorize a team of your imperial guards to move the donated goods. "
This result was also within Mo Qingyan's expectations.
Long Sheng had always been good at scheming, and had also cleverly shifted the blame onto himself. With the imperial guards watching, he probably wouldn't be able to reap any benefits from them.
"This subject's daughter thanks you!" Mo Qingyan kowtowed before raising her head to look at Long Sheng. "Your Majesty, this subject requires the assistance of an imperial edict."
"It is only an imperial edict. I will give it to you now." With that said, he told Gao De to get the imperial edict and the Imperial Jade Seal. After sealing it, he handed it over to Mo Qingyan.
Mo Qingyan took what he wanted and gave the Imperial Concubine Tao a meaningful glance. Only then did he leave the palace with his two aunts.
"Yan, you were really too reckless this time." First Madame looked at Mo Qingyan and didn't really approve of her plan this time. One had to know that they had offended the entire imperial government.
"Aunt, Yan knows the consequences of this matter. However, if he can help Grandfather and the rest, even if Yan offends someone else, it would be worth it. "
In his previous life, he did not have enough materials. The great army was being pushed back step by step, and in the end, not even their biggest cousin was able to protect them. After he returned, the entire Jiang Mansion was filled with dark clouds.
Since he had the chance to change all these, he might as well live his entire life once more. She would definitely not let her Jiang Mansion repeat the same mistake again.
First Madame wanted to say something, but after seeing Mo Qingyan's resolute expression, he didn't say anything in the end.
After returning to the Jiang Mansion, First Madame and Second Madame originally thought that Mo Qingyan would impatiently go find someone. Who would have thought that she would actually return to her own room after giving some instructions?
As Mo Qingyan looked at this decree, he started to ponder in his mind about what to do. After all, she couldn't bear to take advantage of the person closest to her.
A cold light flashed through Mo Qingyan's eyes. Didn't Chu Rou always want to become "good sisters" with him? Isn't this a great opportunity?
With a slight smirk on his lips, Mo Qingyan called Ah Nuo in. "Ah Nuo, prepare a greeting letter for me right now and send it over to Chu Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Miss, what are you doing at her house?" Chu Rou had always schemed against Mo Qingyan, so Ah Nuo was extremely unwilling to allow Mo Qingyan to pass.
"I naturally have my own considerations. You can just send me your card. " Mo Qingyan did not explain anything.
Ah Nuo knew Mo Qingyan's personality, there was no use in talking to him. She could only sigh and was about to turn around and leave, but she did not expect Mo Qingyan to suddenly open his mouth.
"Wait, Ah Nuo." Ah Nuo thought that Mo Qingyan had changed his mind and turned to look at Mo Qingyan. Who would have thought that Mo Qingyan would ask a person who had disappeared for a long time.
"Ah Nuo, do you know how Jiang Sirong is doing?" Mo Qingyan had already seen Jiang Sirong for a long time, but he occasionally heard the servant inside the Jiang Mansion discussing her.
"That crazy old woman, Miss doesn't need to care about her." Hearing Jiang Sirong's name, Ah Nuo frowned and bit her lips tightly.
"Ah Nuo, no matter what, she lived in this Jiang Mansion for more than ten years. Even if my aunties don't really like her, but she's still raised by her own family, so they still have some feelings for her. "
"I see, miss. and she was locked up in her own yard, guarded. " Ah Nuo knew that Mo Qingyan was telling the truth.
"Since you're unwilling, then I can only give you an answer." "Miss, Madam came to see her that day. You have no idea how vile her attitude was."
If Jiang Wan had not dodged so quickly, he would have smashed the flower vase into Jiang Wan's face.
"What did you say?" Did she hurt her mother? " Mo Qingyan was surprised, and asked Ah Nuo loudly.
