Chapter 604 Rich and powerful
Bai Xianyan only brought four people into the palace, so he definitely couldn't force himself on Wu Mi's territory, otherwise they would be themselves.
So she nodded and left to ask for help first.
She went to the Queen Mother's place first, but was told that the Queen Mother was unwell and did not see anyone for the time being.
Moreover, the guards at the door had changed, and Bai Xianyan did not know any of them.
She went to the queen again.
I met the queen.
When the queen heard her talk about the situation, she looked sad: "Ah, it's not that I won't help you, but... go find the emperor! Listen to what he says."
So Bai Xianyao went to see the emperor again.
The emperor asked her to wait outside for half an hour before she announced her meeting.
Bai Xianyan walked in with sore footsteps and told the emperor that Concubine Jia summoned her grandmother to the palace in the name of seeing a doctor, and punished her grandmother to kneel down and not let anyone go. The key is that she was actually not sick at all.
The emperor looked very busy and said without raising his head: "The imperial concubine is sick. She is heart disease."
Bai Xianyao smiled angrily: "Heart disease? Heart disease still needs heart medicine. My mother may not be able to cure it."
The emperor looked up at her: "Madam Lou is her medicine."
Bai Xianyao: "...Father, my daughter-in-law, I will not beat you around the bush. What do you want my daughter-in-law to do? Can Concubine Jia's 'heart disease' be cured?"
She was placed under house arrest but gave her freedom, so she obviously wanted to negotiate terms with her.
The emperor said: "Concubine Jia's heart disease can be mild or severe, it depends entirely on whether she can please her! She likes the imperial crown of the previous empress dowager. If you can bring it, she might be fine."
Bai Xianya understood: "Your Majesty, are you threatening me to hand over the treasure with my mother? But I don't know where the treasure is!"
Emperor: "What are you saying? You are just treating Concubine Jia! Isn't Mrs. Lou a miracle doctor? You are her successor and a little miracle doctor. I believe that if you, mother and son, work together, will definitely cure her illness."
Bai Xianyan was silent for a moment and said, "This is it. Give me a month to search for all possible places. If you find it, please let her go back. If you can't find it, you can pay my life to my mother! Is it OK?"
The emperor didn't say anything.
Bai Xianyao: "Or I can just pay my mother's life now!"
The emperor finally said: "Okay! Give you a month to cure Concubine Jia's illness. In a month, let her happily attend the new crown prince's canonization ceremony."
"The new crown prince's title ceremony?" Bai Xianyan's face suddenly turned pale: "Are you going to depose the crown prince? My husband is fighting for the country, and his life and death are unknown, but you want to depose him?"
The emperor lowered his eyes and looked a little sad: "Of course not. It's just Ah Ye, tell you the truth, your father and the prince have not come back for so long, and they must have been killed. I am old and the position of the crown prince cannot be empty."
Bai Xian's eyes turned red and he asked crying, "Is that so? Are they all gone? Are you sure?"
Seeing her crying like that, the emperor still felt a little sympathetic to her and said, "I am not that sure, but I can't wait like this, do you think so?"
Bai Xianyao: "I understand my father. But I really don't know where the treasure is! What if I can't find it in a month?"
The emperor was a little reluctant, but he forced himself to do so and could not give up all his previous efforts, so he said, "This is what I have to ask about Concubine Jia."
Bai Xianyan was stunned: "Ask her? Didn't you want my mother to die?"
Emperor: "You'd better go and look for it! I love Concubine Jia, and I really can't bear to see her suffering. I can only follow her part of whatever she wants to do. If you find the deposit, you will be happy to make her happy, and everyone will be happy."
You want the treasure yourself and push it to Concubine Jia... Bai Xianyan despised the emperor in his heart, wiped away his tears, and said, "Okay, my daughter-in-law will do her best to find it. Emperor, I want to go to Concubine Jia again, and I hope the emperor will allow it."
The emperor noticed the change in her name and said displeasedly: "Go."
Bai Xianyao took his leave, and the emperor frowned as she looked at her somewhat messy and heavy steps.
At this time, an eunuch came in and told the emperor that the empress dowager asked him to come over, saying that the empress dowager was very angry.
The emperor went there reluctantly.
The queen mother was indeed full of anger. When she saw him, she sent her servants back and asked, "What did you do to Ah Ye? Why did you change the guards for me and even stopped Ah Ye outside and prevent her from coming in?"
The emperor said: "Don't be angry, my mother, what can I do to her? She is still pregnant with my grandson!"
Queen Mother: "Then what do you mean?"
Emperor: "She said she didn't know where the treasure was placed. Do you believe it? I don't believe it anyway."
Queen Mother: "For the treasure? What did you do?"
Emperor: "It's nothing, I just want to force her to tell the truth."
Queen Mother: "What are you using to force her?"
Emperor: "Let Madam Lou enter the palace to treat Concubine Jia. Concubine Jia and Mrs. Lou are a pair of natural enemies. If she leaves her mother to Concubine Jia, she will naturally be anxious and tell the whereabouts of the treasure."
The Empress Dowager: "If I remember correctly, Mrs. Lou had just given birth to a child and was not yet full month old, right? This is going to spread. What would the people say to you, the emperor, the wife of Baihou who sacrificed his life for the country? What would they think of our Huan family?"
The emperor said indifferently: "What do the people know? What do they think is important? What is important is that we have to get the wealth accumulated by the previous dynasty so that we can have the money to raise soldiers and stabilize the rule of our Huan clan!"
The queen mother was so angry that her veins burst out: "Do the people matter? You are an emperor, and you can actually say such words!"
The emperor suddenly stood up and said in anger, "My mother! Don't worry about this matter. I won't do anything to them, don't worry! I arranged someone to stay outside your palace because I was afraid that you would be soft-hearted and have no other intentions."
After saying that, he walked out.
"Emperor!" The Empress Dowager shouted: "Emperor! You are wrong! You are very wrong! The people's hearts are ten thousand times more valuable than those treasures! If you lose the people's hearts, it is useless to have many treasures! Look at the previous dynasty, who has so much wealth, isn't it buried in the grave?"
The emperor stopped and turned around and said, "Mother, you can only tell me these great principles! But do you really know my situation? Since the split between the north and the south, our Huan family has become weaker and weaker! In the court, Mu Yu has the final say in everything! What's that? In military terms, he has to point at Bai Hexing! He obviously has a great grudge against me, and I want to divide his five horses into pieces! But I can't! I have to coax him in a low voice! Why? I am the emperor!"
The emperor said firmly: "Only if you have money in your hands! You have soldiers! The country will be stable! And I am not the emperor of the previous dynasty, and I am not a foolish monarch!"
The Queen Mother was speechless for a moment.
The emperor turned around and left.
