Princess Fubao brought trillions of goods to help her father rule the world

Chapter 348 I didn’t expect the emperor to be such a person!

Zhuanpin was stunned, and then a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

So, her dowry was stolen by the emperor?

"I didn't expect the emperor to be such a person!" Zhuanpin glared at Xiao Heng hatefully.

She said that it was all related to this annoying father and daughter duo!

Who could have imagined that an emperor would steal his concubine's dowry in the middle of the night!

The dowry was the basis for her survival, and after such a commotion, she must get the money back.

If Xiao Heng got angry, he could use the silver to buy some food from the imperial kitchen so he wouldn't starve to death.

Maybe he could even bribe a few palace maids and eunuchs.

She doesn't want to spend her whole life in Beixiao, waiting to help her father steal high-yield grain seeds.

She used grain seeds to threaten her father to take her back to Beichen!

The ministers in the court pricked up their ears quietly. What did they just hear?

Did the Emperor ever ask Concubine Zhuan for a dowry?

The ministers looked at Xiao Heng with an indescribable look in their eyes.

The emperor's small treasury is already filled with gold and silver by the little princess, so how could he still be interested in the dowry of the concubine Zhuan?

Xiao Heng looked at the ministers in the hall with different expressions and his eyelids twitched violently.

In order to prevent the ministers from thinking too much, Xiao Heng hurriedly began to explain.

"What kind of person am I? I asked you for a dowry that day out of good intentions. Concubine, do you know why I asked you for a dowry that day?"

Zhuanpin snorted sarcastically, "You must be attracted by my little tricks. My dowry includes five thousand taels of silver notes and one hundred taels of gold! There are also several boxes of gold, silver, jade ornaments, and antiques, calligraphy and paintings!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and rolled her eyes at Liu Kuqi.

Weren’t these ministers shouting happily just now?

Why don't they shout now? They must have seen clearly what kind of person their emperor is and feel ashamed!

Xiao Heng's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhuanpin who was talking nonsense seriously.

"My concubine, everyone knows that Beixiao has been hit by a drought for three years. It is true that the Queen and I ate steamed bread just because of the name of the dish! If you think that I, as the king of Beixiao, eat steamed bread, then it is extremely luxurious for the common people and the servants in the palace to eat a steamed bread!"

When the ministers thought of those difficult three years, their eyes were red.

How can ordinary people afford to eat steamed bread?

The mountains are so bare! Even the tigers and other beasts in the dense forests are so hungry that their eyes are green!

Zhuanpin straightened her chest and looked directly at Xiao Heng who was sitting on the dragon throne.

Now he was talking about the loss of his dowry, why did he bring this up?

The severe drought in Beixiao has angered God, it has nothing to do with me!

She gently stroked her rumbling stomach and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, there is no need to tell me this. I just want to get my dowry back!"

Xiao Heng looked at Zhuanpin for a moment, then spoke helplessly: "Although the drought in Beixiao has passed, there are still many people in Beixiao who can't eat! There are also people in this palace! When Shufei married, she lost a lot of dowry... I don't want you to follow in Shufei's footsteps out of kindness!"

Zhuanpin looked at Xiao Heng in confusion, somewhat shocked.

What the hell? Does the emperor mean that the servants in this palace are dishonest?

But...how is it possible?

Seeing that Zhuanpin was still a little unconvinced, Xiao Heng said, "It is safer in my private vault. The dowries of the Queen and several concubines are all kept safe in my private vault! If they want to use something, I will agree! You rejected me that day, and I wanted to find a suitable opportunity to persuade you again... But who knew... Alas!"

Zhuanpin looked at Xiao Heng's extremely regretful expression and couldn't help but believe it a little.

Could it really have been stolen by the servants serving in the palace?

So how did they know?

"Your Majesty, do you think that I am a three-year-old child who can be easily fooled? I have buried the dowry, and only the maids I brought from Beichen know about it! Your Majesty, don't forget that they are still in the Ministry of Punishment~"

Zhuanpin stared at Xiao Heng with a half-smile, trying to see a hint of guilt on his face.

But to her disappointment, there was no trace of guilt on Xiao Heng's face!

"My beloved! Do you know what the Ministry of Punishment does?" Xiao Heng took the thermos cup from Xiao Dezi's hand, opened the lid and took a sip.

Zhuanpin was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes with an unpleasant look on her face.

Does the emperor think he is stupid?

She grew up in the palace and naturally knew what the Ministry of Punishment did.

She raised her chin proudly: "Of course, it is to punish the palace maids who made mistakes. The maids from the Ministry of Punishment will also interrogate them..."

Having said this, Zhuanpin's face turned from pale to black.

Then Lan Xin, Zhu Ying and others were arrested and taken to the Ministry of Punishment!

Bitch! These damned b*tch, why did they tell her where she hid her dowry?

Zhuanpin clenched her hands tightly in anger and couldn't help but look up at Xiao Heng sitting on the dragon throne.

But it just happened to bump into Xiao Heng's deep eyes.

Zhuanpin's heart trembled violently. Since Lanxin and others had confessed all the dowry she had hidden, then...

The matter of stealing high-yield grain must have been completely exposed!

Zhuanpin broke out in sweat and felt uneasy when she saw Xiao Heng's gaze.

So...the emperor also knows the purpose of his marriage?

She stumbled and knelt in the hall.

Xiao Heng chuckled and said, "My beloved, what's wrong with you? Can you please summon the imperial physician to take a look?"

The more Zhuanpin looked at Xiao Heng's smile, the colder she felt down her spine. He must have known!

This palace belongs to Xiao Heng. The Ministry of Punishment must have shown Xiao Heng the confessions of Lan Xin and the others!

She shook her head hurriedly, fearing that the imperial physician would take her life.

At this moment, Zhuanpin only wanted to return to Changqiu Palace.

Even if Xiao Heng confined her to her room or made her eat steamed bread and pickled vegetables, she just wanted to live a peaceful life hiding in Changqiu Palace...

As for the dowry and money, they are not important at all!

Those slaves just stole as they pleased, since they could survive by eating steamed bread anyway.

"Your Majesty, I was reckless! This matter has nothing to do with the little princess or you, Your Majesty! If there is nothing else, I will return to the palace first..."

After Zhuanpin finished speaking, she climbed up from the ground with weak hands and feet.

Prime Minister Liu stood up and said righteously, "Your Majesty, I refuse to accept this! Concubine Zhuan first slandered the princess's reputation and then questioned your Majesty! Now Concubine Zhuan has not even said a word of apology. Why?"

After Prime Minister Liu spoke up, all the ministers agreed.

Zhuanpin paused, a hint of anger flashed across her eyes.

This old man is really nosy!

After all, I am the elder of that little bitch. How can an elder apologize to a younger person?

Xiao Heng looked at Prime Minister Liu, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

He immediately said, "That's right! Although the misunderstanding has been resolved, Zhuzhu has been wronged... She is usually a greedy little cat, and she can calm down by eating a few eight-treasure ducks from outside the palace... Alas! But Zhuanpin's dowry and body have been stolen... What should I do?"

Because Zhuanpin had her back to Xiao Heng, she didn't see the exchange of glances between Xiao Heng and Qian Delai at all.

Zhuanpin's body froze. Eight-treasure duck in soy sauce? She was so poor now, where could she steal a duck? Wouldn't that cost her life?

This little bitch has really never eaten anything good!

Qian Delai rolled his eyes and said loudly, "Your Majesty, why don't you let Concubine Zhuan write a letter to Emperor Bei Xiao to ask for some money? This way, not only will Concubine Zhuan have money for herself, but our little princess can also eat Eight Treasures Braised Duck. This is the best of both worlds!"

Emperor Beichen: ...Damn it, you guys are so beautiful, but I’m the one bleeding profusely!
