I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 125: Early Morning Stroke

"Your Majesty, Minister Huang suffered a stroke due to depression in his chest and excessive fire in his chest. I'm afraid he will be paralyzed." The imperial physician knelt on the ground and reported to Xiao Yinchen.

"Stroke? Can it be cured?" Xiao Yinchen asked with a slight frown.

The imperial physician shook his head and knelt down to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Save... Save me." When Minister Huang heard that he could not be cured, he lay in bed unable to move. He could only follow Xiao Yinchen with his eyes, stammering and begging.

"Huang Aiqing, don't get excited. I'll have someone send you home to recuperate." After saying that, he left. This Huang Shide is really ignorant! He actually had a stroke in the hall. If it gets out, he will be laughed at!

“Your Majesty…Your Majesty…”

"Hey, Minister Huang, stop shouting, the emperor has left. Your servants will take you home."

The eunuch who was arranged by Eunuch Zhang sighed. This Minister Huang is so unlucky! You said you are not young anymore, if you lost something, it is lost! Why are you so excited? Now it’s over! You are paralyzed!

The eunuch led people to send Huang Shangshu back to the mansion. Mrs. Huang cried miserably when she saw that her husband was not only carried back, but also looked like he had suffered a stroke and could not move.

The eunuch shook his head and took his men back to report.

The next day, Prime Minister Liu sent someone to visit Minister Huang. No one knew what the two talked about, but Minister Huang fainted from anger. When he woke up, he cursed Prime Minister Liu with a crooked mouth and called him a thief. He sent someone to submit a memorial that day, resigning from his post and returning home.

Prime Minister Liu was not angry when he heard this. He just sent someone to ask him to resign voluntarily. He was already paralyzed, and he still wanted to occupy the position? If the emperor was not afraid of chilling the officials' hearts, he would have dismissed him that day.

Now is the perfect time to make room for his own people. Now that all the money is gone, he has to get it back. Otherwise, even if he is the prime minister, he can't move forward without money!

……

In the early morning, at the wonton stall, there were customers sitting and chatting while waiting for their meals.

"What's going on? I'm not allowed to leave the city now. I can't do my business anymore! Why is the capital so chaotic these days? My house has been searched two or three times."

"Don't you know? Those officials are almost mad at you!" someone gloated.

"Brother, what do you mean by that? Explain in detail!"

"Recently, many officials' homes have been robbed. Not even a hair was left. They are so anxious! They directly bring soldiers and runners to search everywhere every day! I heard that half of the officials in the court have lost their money! Otherwise, why are people only allowed to enter the capital but not leave? It's because of those officials who lost their money!"

"Hiss! So cruel!?? How did you steal so many things?"

"Who knows? Some officials knew about this and sent many people to guard the storehouse, but the property still disappeared under their noses for no reason. Some people say that the person who stole the property is not a thief, but a thief saint! Every time he commits a crime, he will draw a flower at the scene. Now everyone calls him the Flower Thief! And this Flower Thief Saint only steals from corrupt officials! He never steals from the poor!"

"Otherwise, why didn't those censors lose anything?" someone interrupted.

"Oh, the poverty of the Censorate is well known to everyone. Maybe the flower thief had nothing to take, so he left again!"

The man's words caused the other people at the stall to laugh.

“If you ask me, the one who suffered the most was Minister Huang. He was so angry that he even had a stroke!” Someone shook his head.

"Minister Huang? Did he lose something too?"

"Yes! I heard that Minister Huang mentioned it directly during the morning court session, saying that his daughter's belongings were stolen, and he was so sad and angry that he had a stroke."

Someone curled his lips and said, "Who knows? Maybe the money he embezzled is gone? Anyway, there is no truth in the mouths of these officials."

"Who says it's not..."

"Hey, look, is that the carriage from Minister Huang's mansion?" Someone with sharp eyes pointed at the carriage coming from a distance and asked loudly.

"Hey, it's true!"

So everyone's eyes followed the carriage to stop at the city gate.

"Who are you? You are not allowed to leave the capital now!" The Yulin Army at the city gate stopped the carriage.

"Sir, my master is Shangshu Huang. Here is Prime Minister Liu's handwritten letter, allowing our master to leave the capital." The servant driving the car handed the thing over.

The guards knew about Huang Shangshu's incident. After all, it had spread all over the capital. It was the first time that he had a stroke during the morning court session! So they said to the people in the carriage, "Excuse me! We need to check the carriage."

"Okay." The people in the carriage agreed.

The guard lifted the curtain and looked inside carefully. There were only two people in the carriage, the lying Minister Huang and Madam Huang, who was wiping tears with red eyes.

"Okay, let's go."

The guard lowered the curtain.

The servant thanked him and drove the carriage out of the city gate.

Nowadays, people are only allowed to enter the capital but not leave, so those who check the city gates have a lot more free time.

But who knew that another carriage would come soon.

"Sir, we are from Minister Yu's residence. The person sitting inside is Old Madam Yu. She wants to leave the city and return to her hometown. We hope you can be lenient." The young man dressed as a servant who was driving the carriage bowed.

"This...we can't let it go without the Prime Minister's order!"

"I will go and tell the Prime Minister. If anything goes wrong, our master will be responsible. Just let him go."

"Then...we need to check it out."

"please."

When the Yulin Army saw that there was only an old lady and a nanny in the carriage, they let them pass.

Yufu

"Did the old woman leave?" said a wealthy woman with a somewhat sarcastic look in her eyes, pinching a grape.

"Madam, they have been sent away. But the old lady has sent back the people who were arranged by the mansion to send her off. I think she asked the nanny to hire someone to send them off on the way."

"Humph! This damn old woman was on guard against me! It's just in time that I came back! It also saved me money! Oh, by the way, don't tell the master that the old lady is seriously ill, so as not to make him worry." It would be better if this damn old woman died on the road! She should have stopped me from taking the throne!

"Yes! What if the old lady ..." The housekeeper was a little worried.

"Then keep it a secret! Otherwise, the master is now at the peak of his career. If the news of the old woman's death comes, the master will have to stay at home in mourning for a year! By then, the opportunity will be gone!"

Old Madam Yu has been ill these days, and she has been asking her daughter-in-law to take care of her every day. She almost wants to poison her to death with a bowl of medicine!

Listening to her muttering every day that she wants to go back to the countryside!

Mrs. Yu suddenly had an idea and told the master about this. It took her two nights to convince him.

"I feel comfortable now. That little bitch Yu Xiyun is dead, and that damn old woman is gone too. From now on, the Yu Mansion will be mine! Hahahahahahahahaha..."
