Ah, you traveled through time too?

Chapter 451: Embezzlement of Relief Food

It was late at night, and Li Yong's roars could be heard from time to time in the imperial study, shaking the entire palace. The door of the imperial study was closed tightly, and the eunuchs and palace maids outside were all silent and dared not approach.

"Zhao Jinhui actually dared to embezzle the relief food shipped to the north! This is simply lawless!" Li Yong slammed the table, furious. He swept the documents on the table and scattered them all over the floor.

Su Changde stood aside, lowering his head and looking submissive, not daring to speak. He knew that Li Yong needed someone who could calm his anger at this moment, and in the entire harem, only Lian Di could best appease the emperor's emotions.

"Little Li," Su Changde whispered, "Hurry to Guangqing Palace and ask Empress Liandi to come over. Only she can persuade the emperor."

Little Li nodded, turned around and left in a hurry, heading straight for Guangqing Palace.

In Guangqing Palace, Lian Di was sorting some documents in the study. Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Little Lizi rushed in anxiously, panting and said, "My queen, it's bad. The emperor is furious in the imperial study. Eunuch Su asked me to invite you to come over and calm the emperor down."

Lian Di was startled, put down the documents in her hand, and stood up quickly: "Little Li, what happened?"

Little Lizi hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the Emperor discovered that Zhao Jinhui embezzled the relief grain shipped to the north, and is now furious in the Imperial Study. No one dares to approach."

Lian Di frowned, knowing that the matter was serious. She quickly tidied her clothes and decided to go to the imperial study in person: "Little Li, let's go to the imperial study quickly. We can't let the emperor be so angry all the time."

Little Li nodded, followed Lian Di, and rushed to the imperial study.

When Lian Di arrived at the imperial study, she saw Li Yong standing in front of the table, his face livid, his chest heaving violently, obviously still in a rage. Documents and books were scattered on the floor, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Lian Di gently pushed the door open and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am here."

Li Yong turned around and saw Lian Di. The anger in his eyes seemed to have subsided a little, but he still couldn't hide his anger: "Lian Di, you're here."

Lian Di walked forward, gently held Li Yong's hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I heard that you discovered that Zhao Jinhui embezzled the disaster relief grain, and I was also very angry. But your anger is not good for your health, and I am really worried."

Li Yong took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Lian Di, you don't know that Zhao Jinhui dared to embezzle the disaster relief food at this critical moment. It's simply lawless! The disaster victims in the north need this food, but he ignored the lives of the people for his own selfish interests!"

Lian Di nodded to show her understanding: "Your Majesty, I understand your anger. Zhao Jinhui's behavior is indeed outrageous and must be severely punished. But your anger will not help solve the problem. Why don't you let me sit down with you and discuss how to deal with this matter."

Li Yong looked at Lian Di's gentle eyes, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He nodded and sat down. Lian Di also sat down beside him and gently patted the back of his hand to give him comfort and support.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Jinhui's behavior is indeed unforgivable, but we need to handle this matter calmly to minimize the damage." Lian Di said softly.

Li Yong nodded: "You are right, Lian Di. I should not let my anger get the better of me. I need to calm down and find the best solution."

Lian Di smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are wise and brave, and you will definitely find the best solution. I will always be by your side and support you."

Li Yong held Lian Di's hand tightly, feeling her warmth and determination, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided. He took a deep breath and regained some composure: "Su Changde, summon the relevant ministers immediately. I want to investigate this matter personally and make sure to thoroughly investigate Zhao Jinhui's crimes!"

Su Changde bowed his head and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away."

Soon after, several important ministers were summoned to the imperial study. Li Yong sat in the main seat, and Lian Di sat beside him, looking at the ministers with a firm gaze. She knew that at this moment, Li Yong needed her support and wisdom.

Li Yong said calmly: "I will never condone Zhao Jinhui's embezzlement of disaster relief grain. You must immediately start an investigation and collect all the evidence. You must get to the bottom of this matter!"

The ministers all said they would obey the order and quickly began to deploy the investigation. Lian Di watched all this and secretly felt lucky that she arrived in time to help Li Yong calm down his anger and let him calm down to deal with the matter.

As time went on, the investigation gradually unfolded, and more and more evidence was collected in the imperial study. Zhao Jinhui's crimes gradually surfaced, and Li Yong's anger continued to accumulate, but he always remained calm and decided to deal with the matter with severe means.

A few days later, Li Yong convened a court meeting, announced Zhao Jinhui's crimes, and ordered his arrest and severe punishment. The ministers expressed their support and believed that Li Yong's decision was wise and decisive.

Lian Di stood aside, looking at Li Yong's determined expression, her heart full of admiration and support. She knew that Li Yong's wise decision would enable the disaster relief work in the north to proceed smoothly, and also prevent those who were lucky enough to act rashly.

When the court meeting was over, Li Yong returned to the imperial study exhausted. Lian Di came forward gently and said softly, "Your Majesty, you have worked hard. I have prepared some tea for you. Please take a rest."

Li Yong took the tea with a smile and said gratefully, "Lian Di, thanks to you being by my side, I can stay calm and handle this matter well."

Lian Di shook her head gently: "Your Majesty, I am just doing my duty. You are the truly wise and decisive emperor, and I have always believed in you."

Li Yong held Lian Di's hand, his eyes gleaming with tenderness: "Lian Di, I feel very relieved to have you by my side. We will face the challenges of the future together, and we will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties."

Lian Di nodded, her heart full of hope and determination: "Your Majesty, I will always be by your side. No matter how many challenges and difficulties there are in the future, we will be able to face them together and embrace a better future."

In the dead of night, Li Yong and Lian Di sat side by side in the imperial study, enjoying a moment of tranquility. Although the road ahead was still full of unknowns and challenges, they were full of confidence and strength, believing that as long as they worked together, they would be able to usher in a brighter future.
