New Life of Broken Cedar - C64

The news of Young Master Gu once again jumping into the lake spread throughout the palace like a bird with wings. It quickly spread to every nook and cranny of the palace.

What was even more unbelievable was that the emperor took Gu Moyan back to the imperial harem and placed him in the Li Tang Palace, the auxiliary palace of the emperor’s sleeping quarters.

The crowd didn’t panic at all, afraid that they would offend the previous Gu Concubine, who had been seized by the emperor. He didn’t know if it was because of some groundless rumor or if there really was such a thing, but when he heard that someone had died in the Clear Stream Restaurant, Young Master Gu was gone. In the imperial harem, the servants had never seen Gu Moyan before.

Imperial Palace

The court officials, dressed in palace uniforms, held their memorials and walked into the palace one by one.

“Reporting to your majesty, Jinzhou City has sent a message that another group of refugees have taken up residence. I hope your majesty can give us some of the financial resources to assist us.” A grey haired official stepped forward and said respectfully.

He also could not do anything about it. The paper had already been in his possession for many days, and after seeing that there were no silver taels yet and some other rumors reaching his ears, he had no choice but to recite this matter to the emperor.

Oh?” Magnificent Brocade City? This King remembered that a month ago, he had already approved for one million silver taels. That city was only a hundred miles in radius. Even if a disaster were to send a single silver tael, could the Jin Zhou City even hold up to a million people? “Where do you think the money went?” Mo Gu Han sat in front of his desk and looked at the paper in front of him. He raised his head and asked the Minister who had just spoken.

“This, this …” Guo De was instantly rendered speechless. He was shocked by Mo Gu Han’s gaze, as if he wanted to see through him. He also instantly exposed those small tricks of Mo Gu Han’s, “This subject doesn’t know.”

Mo Gu Han pensively knocked on the table. The rhythmic “thump thump” sounds seemed to be the heartbeats of the ministers below.

After a long while, Mo Gu Han opened his mouth again. “This King had already approved two months ago. Since they wrote a letter to Guo Aiqing, This King knows that you only have one mother to raise. How about this.” He paused, holding the imperial pen slowly as he wrote on the imperial paper. He then said, “This King knows that Guo Aiqing is considerate towards the public, and the Guo Mansion is also a high position. You can handle this matter, what do you think, Guo Aiqing?”

Guo De was shocked, he thought that the emperor would notice something, but this time he was unable to get the money to write it down. Since the emperor had already said so, he did not dare to refute anything, lowering his head and replying, “Very good, this old subject has not done anything for the people for many years, so this is considered as him amassing some good fortune for his descendants.”

“You’re not allowed to mention this anymore. Is there anything else, Guo Aiqing?” Mo Gu Han lowered his head and wrote on the imperial report.

By the time all the officials had finished reporting, it was already late at night. Mo Gu Han felt that they had a lot to deal with this time, and felt a little tired.

After the Minister left, Mo Gu Han walked towards the palace by himself. He walked slowly, playing with the jade flute in his hand. He raised his head to look at the full moon in the sky, his eyes gleaming with a different light.

“Whoosh!” Mo Gu Han raised his hand and placed a leaf beside him. He infused his Qi to fly backwards.

The person in the night clothes who was hiding in the dark barely dodged the leaf. He looked back and saw that the leaf had cut off a small branch behind him.
