Chapter 279 He will be very happy
However, he had issued wanted notices for several days, but no one could offer a solution, which made him very distressed.
"Your Majesty, this is a simple matter."
Mu Ruixi responded, "Okay."
Zhou Zhewen, however, looked unhappy. He glared at Mu Ruixi in confusion and said, "This matter is easy to handle, but I've issued wanted orders for several days, and no one can give me any advice. Doesn't this mean that there are no capable people in my country?"
What the woman said was really too casual, deliberately mocking other countries for not having geniuses, which made him very unhappy.
Mu Ruixi hurriedly bowed and said, "I didn't have that idea. I just thought of a solution and said it this way."
"Speak now. If you speak well, I will reward you well. If you speak badly, I will punish you!" Zhou Zhewen asked impatiently.
He would be very happy if the woman could really find what he wanted.
Mu Ruixi also understood that now was a good time to betray the emperor. If she didn't answer, she was afraid that the emperor would punish her. So she calmed down and said calmly, "The Western Kingdom has been in war for years, and the finances are in deficit. There is no extra money for disaster relief. Now, if we want to make up for the deficit in the national treasury, we can only start from the people."
"Benefit the people?"
Zhou Zhewen was puzzled. "The people are all living in poverty. How can we give them money? Mu Ruixi, are you kidding me?"
"How dare I," Mu Ruixi said, "From the people, it doesn't mean to go from the people, but from the officials. They receive salaries from the court every year. When they are in trouble, shouldn't we give them some silver to help them? In addition, your concubines can also donate jewelry to the motherland."
This is a brilliant move!
Zhou Zhewen's eyes lit up, and he immediately applauded his plan. This had been a real hassle for him for days, but she had figured it out with one word, solving it with ease. It seemed like he really had a new regard for her.
"Mu Ruixi, you can come up with such an idea, brilliant!"
He praised, "Whatever reward you want, I will give it to you."
Once the king has spoken, he cannot take it back. Although she is now a prisoner, since she has agreed, she must keep her word and not go back on her word.
Mu Ruixi did not take credit for it. She just said to the emperor: "Ruixi, you don't need to reward me. Just help me share my pressure."
She wisely didn't take all the credit for herself. Besides, even if she wanted to take the credit, the emperor probably wouldn't agree. He and she had a deep grudge, and it was impossible for the emperor to put aside his prejudice and accept her for such a small matter.
Zhou Zhewen glared at her, a cruel look flashing in his eyes: "Forget it, you killed Zhou Yanlin, I will make amends, I hope you can survive!"
With that, she left and acted according to Mu Ruixi's plan.
Since the matter is urgent, the sooner the better.
Not long after, Mu Ruixi heard the voices of the maids.
"Alas, even though we are maids, we still have to donate!"
"What's wrong with the emperor? He's even taking back the jewels he gave as a reward. How stingy!"
Mu Ruixi didn't care about these things. She certainly didn't need to participate in this project. She just needed to do her job well. Although the emperor accepted her suggestions, he still had prejudices against her. It seemed that she would have to be more attentive in the future.
Occasionally, she would ask about the situation in the north, but she was told that the crown prince had passed away, and Lin Muwen had been named the heir apparent, a time of great success. She sneered inwardly, "Lin Muwen, don't be so arrogant. I will make you pay the price in the future."
However, she suddenly felt a pain in her stomach and wanted to vomit. She quickly picked up the basin and started vomiting.
Seeing this, the maid hurried to report it. Then the emperor sent a royal physician to examine her.
Mu Ruixi had known for a long time that this vomiting must be related to her pregnancy. If the imperial physician had examined her, it would definitely be true.
"Your Majesty, Miss Su is pregnant."
The imperial physician took her pulse and soon came to a conclusion. He hurried to report to the emperor.
Zhou Zhewen had a blank expression on his face. Mu Ruixi still had some value to him. Finally, the imperial physician and the maids were all sent away.
"Who is the child in your belly?"
Seeing that the matter could no longer be concealed, Mu Ruixi told the truth: "Lin Muwen said so."
"So it's his. Why did he send you to me?"
Zhou Zhewen was surprised. He never expected that Lin Mu would be so cruel after hearing these words and threaten his wife. It was clear that he wanted to put her to death.
"Your Majesty, could you please listen to a story from this old servant?"
Seeing that the time was right, Mu Ruixi decided to tell everything about herself.
Lin Muwen knew that he had done so much to her. If he didn't tell her the truth, how could she vent the anger in her heart? Originally, she didn't want to say it, but as time went by, she found that the emperor was not a person who didn't know manners.
Zhou Zhewen was also a reasonable man. Seeing Mu Ruixi's frail appearance, he finally nodded. He had never heard of his brother before, but now that it had been over a month, he was finally mentally prepared to hear from Mu Ruixi.
Mu Ruixi pretended Shangguan Lanruo was a crystal ball and teamed up with Lin Muwen to put herself to death and make herself a victim of everyone. She told everything she knew.
Zhou Zhewen was stunned when he heard this. He was immersed in sadness before and didn't pay any attention to Mu Ruixi's words. Moreover, if he really wanted to explain to her, he would still doubt her and would not believe her.
However, he just felt sorry for her because she was pregnant, so he believed her lies.
"So, do you really hate Lin Muwen?"
"Is this why you want to help me?" Zhou Zhewen said.
Otherwise, how could she have had him released that night? She even came up with a plan to solve the disaster relief issue.
From all indications, she wanted to help him.
Mu Ruixi's eyes lit up, but were filled with hatred. She gritted her teeth and said, "Of course I hate him. It's because of him that I have become what I am now."
If it weren't for him, she wouldn't be suffering in this hellish place. Perhaps, she was just an ordinary concubine, but Lin Muwen used her up and brought her to the Western Kingdom. This was clearly an attempt to squeeze everything out of her, which made her hate him to the core.
Zhou Zhewen saw the hatred in her eyes. Although he trusted her very much, he had no way to help her.
