"Master, those batches of thunderbolts have been made!" Su Shaowen came over to tell Hua Qingxue.
"Well, okay, I understand." These thunderbolts were finally made in time for the war. There was a trace of joy in Hua Qingxue's eyes.
"But master, the Zhentian Lei has been successfully made, but the barrel has not been finished yet. Senior brother seems to be making rifles recently, so the barrel seems to be delayed..." Su Shaowen's voice became smaller and smaller at the end.
"Why did I drop the barrel of the cannon!" Hua Qingxue slapped her forehead, with a look of regret in her eyes. When Liang Wensheng finished the barrel of the gun that day, she got excited and asked Liang Wensheng to start making bullets.
Hua Qingxue thought about it carefully. The rifle would probably come in handy when the war started, and now only this new type of thunder was left.
"In the past few days, put aside everything else and work hard to make the cannon barrel!" Hua Qingxue looked serious. The cannon barrel cannot be delayed any longer. Panshui's army is still waiting for her new type of thunder, and she cannot let Fu Tingye wait. too long.
"I understand, Master, my senior brother and I will definitely make it in these two days." Su Shaowen looked at Hua Qingxue's serious face and couldn't delay any longer. After saying that, he went back to the laboratory.
"Madam, Butler Zhao is here. After looking for you for a long time, he found that you were not there, so he was waiting for you in the hall." Xi'er ran over to find Hua Qingxue.
"Then go quickly." Hua Qingxue was a little surprised that Zhao Sheng suddenly came to her. Fu Tingye came once when he wrote a letter and then disappeared for a few days. Could it be that Fu Tingye has sent news again
Hua Qingxue's steps were a little hurried, and the anticipation on her face couldn't be hidden. Even Xi'er beside her couldn't help but snicker.
"Butler." Hua Qingxue looked at Zhao Sheng waiting for her in the hall.
"Madam." Zhao Sheng cupped his hands when he saw Hua Qingxue coming.
"Butler Zhao, is there something going on with the general?" Hua Qingxue stared at him, but she didn't find half a letter in his hand.
"There is nothing wrong with the general, it's just some business matters." After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, he didn't miss a trace of imperceptible loss in Hua Qingxue's eyes, and couldn't help but comfort her, "Madam also knows the general's daily battles. Very busy, but the general must have something for you to miss."
Hua Qingxue was a little embarrassed to be noticed that she was worried, but Zhao Sheng just mentioned business matters...
"What happened in business? Did you encounter any trouble?" Hua Qingxue was a little confused. She never asked about business matters. After all, she didn't understand.
"Madam, do you still remember Mr. Tang Yu?" Zhao Sheng asked Hua Qingxue.
"...Remember. Did something happen to Mr. Tang Yu?" Hua Qingxue thought about it for a while, but she still had some impressions.
"Yes, Mr. Tang Yu said that there are some problems with our batch of goods, so I want to have a talk with you." Zhao Sheng had a serious look on his face.
"Is there a problem?" Hua Qingxue looked at Zhao Sheng's serious face, and probably knew that this matter was a bit tricky, "Has the time been agreed upon?"
"Tomorrow at three o'clock at midnight."
"Okay, I understand, I will be there on time." Hua Qingxue whispered.
"Well, then I will go back and not disturb Madam." After Zhao Sheng said that, he left.
Mr. Tang Yu…
Hua Qingxue suddenly thought of Prime Minister Zuo she met before leaving that day. Is this a grudge between wealthy families
After Zhao Sheng returned, he thought of the flash of disappointment in Hua Qingxue's eyes, and a hint of cunning flashed through his eyes.
"Go, prepare some pen and ink for me. I want to write a letter to the general." Zhao Sheng ordered the boy next to him in a good mood.
The boy next to him prepared his pen and ink, and Zhao Sheng took up his pen and wrote on the paper, expanding the story of how he missed Hua Qingxue so much that he wrote about how he missed Hua Qingxue until he became ill and had trouble sleeping and eating.
As for Hua Qingxue, who was sitting in the room, she had no idea that she had been written by Butler Zhao so shockingly that it would not be an exaggeration to award him an Oscar.
…
In the palace, Chen Yuan and Li Jingnan discussed the soaring prices in the imperial study.
"You said the manipulator behind that is Xiao Han?" Li Jingnan exclaimed. No wonder Fu Tingye asked him to investigate the soaring prices. It turns out that the problem lies here. In this case, everything is made clear. Li Jingnan's eyes There was a hint of anger in it.
"It was indeed the prince of Liao who did something." Chen Yuan told Li Jingnan the results of the investigation. He was a little surprised by the results of the investigation. He didn't expect that the prince of Liao was so extraordinary. Even his business in Qi was not simple. Got a foot in the door.
"Humph, this Liao Kingdom is really hateful!" Li Jingnan gritted his teeth, his black and white eyes bursting with anger.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? The Prince of Liao is involved in a lot of industries." Chen Yuan frowned. This matter is a bit tricky. If a country's market is controlled by others, the situation can be said to be in a dangerous situation.
"Which is the largest industry in Shengjing currently?" Li Jingnan lowered his eyes and thought.
"Back to the Emperor, it's the Tang Sect."
"Tangmen? I seem to have some impression." Li Jingnan frowned and thought.
"I heard..." Chen Yuan rolled his eyes, paused, and stared straight at Li Jingnan.
"What did you hear? Tell me quickly, why are you starting to complain?" Li Jingnan looked at him displeased, with a hint of impatience in his tone.
"The current head of the Tang Sect is called Tang Yu, known as Mr. Tang Yu, and has some relationship with the Left Prime Minister." Chen Yuan said while looking at Li Jingnan, but the latter just frowned slightly and had no other superfluous reaction. He didn't understand.
Tang Yu…
Li Jingnan thought, he knew something.
However, in this current situation, Tang Yu can only control the market.
Li Jingnan touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Okay, okay, you go down first." Li Jingnan waved his hand to Chen Yuan, with a hint of impatience on his face.
"Then, please step aside first." It is said that a woman's turning over a book is like turning over a book. He thought the little emperor was the same.
After Chen Yuan retired, Li Jingnan was left alone in the imperial study.
Li Jingnan held his chin with his hand, thinking, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he was in a good mood.
"Has your Majesty been up to anything lately?" Zheng Shuwen sat on a gold-inlaid wooden chair, her elegant clothes setting off her noble posture.
"Back to the Queen Mother, the Emperor has not made any movements recently." The person below knelt on the ground and said cautiously, "It's just that the Emperor has been investigating the soaring prices in the market recently."
"Oh?" Zheng Shuwen paused, with a trace of inquiry in her eyes. She frowned and continued to ask, "What can you find out?"
"...I don't know." The servant below didn't dare to take a breath and buried his head lower.
"What else do you know?" The Queen Mother threw the teacup in her hand to the ground and became furious.
He was not seen asking questions in the court, so he was investigating at this time.
The eunuch below was frightened by the clanging sound. He was shaking all over, sweat was still hanging on his forehead, and he didn't dare to breathe.
"Go and find the Ai family, Your Majesty." The Queen Mother ordered the people next to her without looking at the people kneeling below.
Li Jingnan was reviewing the memorial. He didn't have any power in his hands, so he could only accumulate and accumulate.
His hand holding the brush couldn't help but tighten, and his tender little fingers were clear.
Li Jingnan was a little annoyed when his calm mind was disturbed by someone coming.
"What did the Queen Mother call me for?" Li Jingnan raised an eyebrow and looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground.
"I don't know." The servant kneeling below did not dare to raise his head.
Li Jingnan sneered and walked to the Queen Mother's palace.
"My son, I would like to send my regards to my mother." Li Jingnan's face was expressionless.
Zheng Shuwen looked at his cold eyebrows and felt a little heartbroken.
"Come, come here and do it." Zheng Shuwen waved to him and asked him to come and sit down.
Li Jingnan hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat next to Zheng Shuwen.
"The weather has dropped sharply recently. Your Majesty, please remember to be careful not to get caught in the cold." Zheng Shuwen looked at his thin face with some distress.
Li Jingnan met Zheng Shuwen's gentle eyebrows and raised her eyelids, feeling a little bitter in her heart.
"My son, I know. Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern." Li Jingnan's voice softened, it was his Queen Mother after all.
"The Ai family heard that prices in Nadong Market have soared. I wonder how the emperor will deal with it." Zheng Shuwen suddenly asked him.
Li Jingnan's eyes sank, then returned to their original state: "I have already asked someone to investigate."
"Did you find anything?" Zheng Shuwen took a sip of tea and stared at Li Jingnan closely.
Li Jingnan lowered his eyes and paused: "It has something to do with the crown prince of Liao."
"Clang!"
Zheng Shuwen dropped the teacup in her hand and her expression changed.
"Queen Mother." Seeing this, Zi Wan wanted to come over and take care of her.
But he was stopped by Zheng Shuwen's gesture.
Looking at Zheng Shuwen's trembling body with anger, Li Jingnan comforted her: "Leave this matter to my son."
Zheng Shuwen took a deep breath to calm down: "Xiao Han made a good plan."
"Don't worry, mother, there is still Fu Tingye." Li Jingnan threw Fu Tingye out.
When Zheng Shuwen heard this, she thought of Hua Qingxue again: "Your Majesty, when Xiao Han left, he gave the Ai family a manuscript."
Li Jingnan frowned and felt a little thump in his heart.
"What manuscript is it?" Li Jingnan asked.
Zheng Shuwen smiled and said nothing, but she had already made a plan in her heart. The relationship between the little emperor and Hua Qingxue made her feel a sense of crisis. Fu Tingye was likely to use Hua Qingxue to contain the little emperor. She had said this more than once.
"It's getting late. The Ai family is exhausted. Your Majesty, please go back early." Zheng Shuwen stretched out her hand, and Zi Wan came over to support her. Zheng Shuwen took advantage of the situation and stood up.
"I'll go back there first." He knew very well what Zheng Shuwen had planned, and he didn't intend to say it explicitly.
Since there are talkative people, he doesn't mind taking advantage of them.
After Li Jingnan left, Zheng Shuwen opened her eyes and looked at his thin figure with an indifference that was inappropriate for her age. She felt something indescribable in her heart, but didn't this suit her
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Liao told you that Hua Qingxue secretly sold manuscripts to him. Why didn't you tell the Emperor clearly?" Zi Wan couldn't help but ask.
"Have the Ai family not said enough? Look at the emperor's temperament. He has made it clear that he will protect her to the end." Zheng Shuwen's eyes gleamed, and her hatred for Hua Qingxue grew even more.
When the Queen Mother said this, Zi Wan also understood a little. The Queen Mother wanted to catch them off guard, but...
"But Hua Qingxue is protected by General Fu, you..." Zi Wan said what Zheng Shuwen was worried about.
Thinking of Fu Tingye, Zheng Shuwen wanted to behead him and punish him. If it weren't for the fact that he could not guarantee the safety of their mother and son, Zheng Shuwen would not be able to keep Fu Tingye, this time bomb.
"There will always be a way." Zheng Shuwen's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness. She didn't believe that Fu Tingye and the little emperor could protect her for the rest of her life!
Zheng Shuwen clenched her fists, her long nails digging into her flesh. She must get rid of Hua Qingxue!
