Chapter 8 — The Emperor Trach Men Because Of Women Traveling Through Time And Discarding The Empress, Who Would Have Thought That The Whole Harem Were Fellow Countrymen

After receiving the order, the guard immediately turned around and ran away. There was still no one in the palace who spoke. Tieu Dien Chi stood still in place, his face even more unsightly than that of the tired and weathered guard outside.

“The grass and herbs of Bac Canh… are provided by you?”

His voice was a bit hoarse. I did not answer his question, but turned to Trieu Toan:

“Go call Thoi An here, tell him to bring all the original books for the past three years.”

"Previously, what I gave to Queen Lam was only the general ledger, and the detailed ledgers were all kept in the warehouse of the Internal Affairs Palace."

Trieu Toan immediately received orders to leave. Lam Nhuoc Tinh finally regained her composure, she trembled and raised her hand to point at me.

“You… you did it on purpose!”

“You deliberately only gave me the total account, just because you wanted to wait until today to make me lose face!”

I leisurely looked at her.

"You said you wanted to thoroughly investigate, I never stopped you."

"You said I was embezzled, but I never defended myself."

“I simply put the truth before me.”

"It's obvious that you yourself haven't yet investigated the matter clearly, so you rushed here to ask the teacher for the crime."

Lam Nhuoc Tinh's face turned red, then white, and finally turned around and grabbed Tieu Dien Chi's sleeve.

“Dien Chi, she is clearly aiming at me!”

“She deliberately hid things, just to make me make a mistake!”

But Tieu Dien Chi did not say a word. He was silent for a long time, but when he opened his mouth to ask, it was a question completely unrelated to Lam Nhuoc Tinh.

"Thirty thousand generals of the Northern Landscape... how long have you been raising them?"

“Since the year Your Majesty ascended the throne.”

“Why didn't you tell me?”

“Tell your majesty what?”

I looked straight into his eyes.

"Tell you that the national treasury is empty, even the border guards can't provide food and grass?"

"When His Majesty had just ascended the throne, his foundation was not yet stable, there were many eyes in the court staring at him."

“If this kind of thing spreads out, people's hearts will immediately fall apart.”

“That's why I figured it out myself.”

“Use your own money, your own store, your own people to fill that hole.”

"In the past three years, Your Majesty has never had to worry about this matter, not because the world is truly peaceful."

“But because there is always someone to shoulder the burden for you.”

Tieu Dien Chi's throat moved slightly. Thuc Phi standing next to her coldly laughed.

“Okay, now do you know?”

"That man of your majesty's destiny can't even read the Internal Affairs books. Does your majesty still expect her to help you rule the country?"

"The food and grass of thirty thousand people on the border, does she know where to mobilize it from?"

“Does she know which route is the fastest?”

“Do you know how many war horses freeze to death every winter in the North?”

Lam Nhuoc Tinh's face turned red.

"Don't think I don't understand military! I..."
