Chapter 112: It must be you, the vicious woman, who did it. I will kill you.
After seeing the empress and the prince's relieved looks, Gu Lingshuang said slowly:
"It's not just one million taels of silver a day, but two million taels of silver. Didn't Your Majesty invest before? So this one million is Your Majesty's fifty percent share."
Gu Lingshuang's words were like thunder striking everyone's head.
What the hell?
Made two million in one day?
One million is already an astronomical figure, what does two million mean?
That is to say, Gu Lingshuang can earn the national treasury’s annual income in just five days.
It's not true. It can't be true.
At the beginning, the emperor was indeed optimistic about Gu Lingshuang's business acumen, and investing in her was a rash move, but he never expected that she would give him such a big surprise.
Gu Lingshuang suddenly questioned the Queen: "I can increase the income of the national treasury. With increased income, we can do more for the people. When the people are happy, the country will be strong. I do business for the country and the people, but in the eyes of the Queen, I am useless. So I would like to ask the Queen, what should I do so that I am not useless?"
"I have business talent and can contribute to the country. Should I give up business and become a housewife?"
The queen was speechless when asked.
She glared at Gu Lingshuang fiercely: "Even if you increase the income for the national treasury, it cannot erase your crime of murder."
"Since the Empress, the Crown Prince, and this dog slave keep saying that I killed someone, then where is the body? You should at least let us see who the dead person is."
The queen looked at the servant kneeling on the ground.
The servant kowtowed quickly and said, "Reporting to Her Majesty, those people are in..."
He reported a place, which was exactly where Gu Lingshuang was assassinated last night.
Gu Lingshuang smiled secretly in her heart. She had thought of this day last night, so she left the body without a trace.
Gu Lingshuang said calmly, "Since you are so sure, then I beg Your Majesty to send someone to investigate. With more than a dozen people dead, there must be clues left."
The emperor thought it was polite and immediately ordered people to investigate.
About an incense stick of time later, the investigators came back with their report.
"Your Majesty, there is no dead body and no bloodstains found in that place."
"Impossible, I saw Princess Xiaoyao killing someone with my own eyes." The servant still insisted.
Gu Lingshuang smiled first and said, "I am neither crazy nor stupid, how could I kill the patrol soldiers? It seems that someone deliberately framed me. Your Majesty must investigate this matter thoroughly."
The emperor also noticed that there was something fishy about this matter and immediately sent more people to investigate.
This time it took longer, about two hours.
The scout came back and reported: "Your Majesty, the army is indeed missing a dozen people. These dozen people were indeed supposed to patrol the city last night, but the people in the city said that they did not see the patrol soldiers, so those people did not patrol the city, and now they are missing."
Gu Lingshuang immediately spoke up: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the sudden disappearance of those people must be related to the Minister of War. He may have used the city patrol as an excuse to secretly let those people do something that the Minister of War did."
When the emperor heard this, he thought it made sense, and sent someone to the Minister of War's residence to summon the Minister of War to the palace.
However, when the palace maid returned, the Minister of War did not come.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of War..."
"What's wrong with him?" Xiao Zitian frowned.
The palace servant swallowed hard and said, "Last night, the lifeblood of the Minister of War was cut off. He is now a eunuch."
"What?" The emperor was extremely shocked.
Even Gu Lingshuang was very surprised.
Yesterday, she asked the man in the black dragon mask to help her teach the Minister of War and others a lesson, but she didn't expect him to be so cruel that he directly chopped off the Minister of War's penis.
The Queen and the Crown Prince both widened their eyes in horror.
The Minister of War was the Prince's party's greatest reliance, but now he has become a useless man.
His Majesty the Emperor will never allow a useless person to be the Minister of War, and soon the Prince's party will lose their powerful left and right arms.
The prince was so angry that he was shaking all over.
He pointed at Gu Lingshuang and said, "It must be you, a vicious woman, who did this. I will kill you."
He rushed over and tried to strangle Gu Lingshuang.
Gu Lingshuang's eyes darkened.
If she took action, she could kill him in one move.
But she was not stupid enough to kill the prince in front of the emperor.
She suddenly had an idea and quickly ran behind the emperor.
"Ah - Your Majesty, help me."
The prince just grabbed the teacup, which contained boiling hot tea.
He rushed towards Gu Lingshuang with a ferocious face.
Gu Lingshuang shrank her neck and hid behind the emperor.
The teacup hit the emperor hard on the forehead, and the hot tea spilled all over his face.
Blood immediately flowed from the emperor's forehead and the skin on his face turned red.
As an emperor, he had never suffered such humiliation.
Even if he is a son, he cannot be forgiven.
"presumptuous!"
"Come here, arrest the prince. Seriously, he will be punished with thirty lashes."
"Your Majesty, you can't do this. The prince is the future crown prince, how can he be punished so easily?" The queen knelt down and begged for mercy.
The emperor looked at the mother and son with a cold expression.
"The Crown Prince cannot be punished lightly. From now on, strip him of his title and drag him out."
"Father, you can't treat me like this. I am your son, and that bitch Gu Lingshuang is just your sister-in-law. How can you treat me like this for this bitch?"
The prince shouted and struggled, but was dragged out.
Soon, the sound of beating and the prince's screams were heard outside the imperial study.
The queen was extremely distressed. She stood up and looked at her brother and Gu Lingshuang with resentment.
"You and I are husband and wife, and I begged you so much, but you remained indifferent."
"What kind of magic potion did that bitch Gu Lingshuang give you to make you defend her so much? Could it be that you have been having an affair with her for a long time?"
When the emperor heard this, he was so angry that he saw black.
Xiao Ziming, who had been silent, suddenly became gloomy.
Any woman who dares to humiliate him is seeking death.
"Royal brother, are you going to watch her humiliate you and my princess?"
The emperor was furious.
How dare he fabricate the story of incest between the emperor and his brother's wife? Where would he keep his face if this were to become public?
"The queen is immoral, she is deposed and banished to the cold palace."
The queen shook her body. She never expected that the emperor would be so cruel to her.
"You can't do this to me, you can't."
The queen screamed, but was still dragged away.
The emperor looked at the kneeling servant again.
The servant was shaking all over and was almost pissing himself with fear.
The emperor's eyes were extremely cold: "Throw him into death row and make sure to find out the whole story."
In an instant, the imperial study became quiet.
Only the emperor, Xiao Ziming and Gu Lingshuang were left.
Gu Lingshuang said, "Your Majesty, you'd better call the imperial physician as soon as possible. You have a head injury."
The emperor nodded, and the imperial physician came to bandage the wound on his head.
After the doctor left, the emperor asked solemnly, "Sister-in-law, did you really earn all this money in one day?"
Gu Lingshuang nodded and told him about her process of getting a franchise.
After hearing this, the emperor and Xiao Ziming were amazed.
It turns out that this is how you can do business.
As long as you are a franchisee, you have to pay a franchise fee of 50,000 taels of silver.
It sounds like a lot, but as long as you join, you can open a Haidilao.
Gu Lingshuang's Haidilao hotpot restaurant had a net income of 10,000 taels of silver a day.
Even though people in other towns don't have the purchasing power of Shengjing, it's definitely no problem to earn one thousand taels a day.
Fifty thousand taels of silver can be earned back in two months. This is a business that can only make money and not lose money.
