After a tragic death, the vicious sister returns to the farmyard

Hu Xingzhou has received a letter from Di Chengjie promising to borrow grain. Di Chengjie's agreement to take action means that most of his crisis has been relieved. As long as he has passed the emperor's hurdle, he can slowly search for grain and raise rice. Price, recover the loss.

Hu Xingzhou did not expect that Qin Maixin would appear in the palace at this time.

The two of them bumped into each other outside the imperial study room.

Qin Maixin came one step earlier and was outside the imperial study, while Hu Xingzhou had just walked towards the imperial study.

After being surprised, Hu Xingzhou raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth. The crisis was resolved and his mood improved. He took out the folding fan from his waist, opened it with a snap, and walked towards Qin Maixin.

Qin Maixin frowned slightly when she saw Hu Xingzhou's flat face, and had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Hey, it's Mai'er." Hu Xingzhou said mockingly, "Why are you here? Could it be that your fiancée doesn't want you anymore?"

Fiancé?

When Qin Maixin heard these four words, a thought flashed in her mind. When the thought settled, she could roughly guess why Hu Xingzhou was here.

If it were the previous Hu Xingzhou, he would definitely not mention Di Chengjie, let alone let Qin Maixin know that he had resolved the crisis.

But these days, Qin Maixin has been oppressed by Qin Maixin. He was filled with anger but unable to turn over. After finally turning over, naturally he started to feel proud and confused, and couldn't help but burst out.

Di Chengjie......

Qin Maixin smiled back at Hu Xingzhou with a mocking look on his face, "Thank you for the reminder."

As soon as Qin Maixin said these words, he successfully made Hu Xingzhou's

The smile froze on his face, and his eyes became gloomy.

He was indeed too proud, otherwise he would not have spoken out about it at this time. If it had been before, he would have taken advantage of Qin Mai's unpreparedness and hit Qin Maixin hard in the back.

Outside the imperial study, the wind was surging, and both of them were laughing, but even the guards guarding the outside of the imperial study noticed the gusts of cold wind.

"Your Majesty announces that Prince Hu, Crown Prince, and Princess Cheng have an audience."

The words of the chief eunuch were spoken with skill. As soon as they came out, it meant that Qin Maixin was now the adopted daughter of King Cheng, not the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Yuan's family.

The two of them walked into the Imperial Study Room, saluted the emperor, and stood aside as the emperor greeted him.

"Hu Shizi, I wonder why you asked to see me?" The old emperor's sharp gaze fell on Hu Xingzhou.

In fact, he already knew about Hu Xingzhou's coming, and he also knew why Hu Xingzhou came. It could be said that he deliberately invited Qin Maixin in when Hu Xingzhou asked for an audience.

Perhaps, sometimes he is not old and confused at all, but pretends to be confused. A man who has been the emperor for so many years may have this problem with his old age, but there are some things that he has a clear grasp of.

"Your Majesty, I have prepared all the food you asked for. It will be put into the treasury in a few days to relieve your Majesty's worries." When Hu Xingzhou said this, he glanced at Qin Maixin and said deliberately, "This Among them is also the contribution of Di Xiong’s son, Di Chengjie.”

Hu Xingzhou thought Qin Maixin would be shocked and couldn't bear it, but all he saw was Qin Maixin who was indifferent and unresponsive.

"Oh?" The emperor heard this

, looked at Qin Maixin and said, "Princess Cheng, is Di Chengjie the person I gave you to marry last time?"

"Exactly." Qin Maixin stepped forward and said.

She had no intention that Di Chengjie would always be on her side, and she was already prepared for the possibility of Di Chengjie rebelling again.

Now, she just wanted to know whether Di Chengjie only gave him food, or whether he already knew that nearly [-]% of Sima State's food was in her hands, or whether she knew these things and told Hu Xingzhou together.

If she only gave him food, she would still have many ways to kill Hu Xingzhou. If it was the latter, she might have to make new plans.

"Princess Cheng, do you know why I came to you this time?"

"My daughter doesn't know." Qin Maixin nodded and said.

"You really don't know?" the old emperor asked in a long voice.

Qin Maixin was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, may I have a few words with you alone?"

The old emperor was forcing her to express her position, and the property she held in her hands must have attracted his attention.

"Hu Shizi, please step aside first." Seeing Qin Maixin speak, the old emperor spoke to Hu Xingzhou.

Hu Xingzhou looked at Qin Maixin in confusion. He had fully seen Qin Maixin's methods and talent for doing business. Now that the emperor left Qin Maixin alone, he felt strongly uneasy.

However, the emperor spoke. As a minister, he could not stay here any longer.

In the imperial study room, only the emperor and Qin Maixin were left.

The emperor looked at the little girl standing in front of the table and said, "Tell me, what do you want to tell me?"

"Your Majesty, I believe you already know that my daughter owns nearly [-]% of the Sima Kingdom.

of food.Today, I came here with the intention of giving [-]% to Your Majesty. "

When the emperor heard this, he laughed and said, "You are quite smart."

"However, Your Majesty, I have a merciless request." The old and confused emperor was just pretending to be confused. The imperial edict asking her to return to Yuan Mansion must have been a calculated step.

"tell me the story."

"I hope that your majesty will no longer interfere in my family affairs." Qin Mai said this despite the danger of being beheaded. This was nothing more than an accusation that the old emperor was meddling in other people's affairs.

As expected, when the old emperor heard this, his eyes were slightly cold for a moment, but then he laughed, "Okay. I'm sorry that you little girl can't find the palm of my hand. Don't you just want to do it for your sister Ye?" Are you angry with your mother? I agree!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. As for my father's matter..."

"Today, the prime minister raped a girl from the street. I demoted him to a second-class official and detained him for half a month. Are you satisfied with this sentence?"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Dealing with the emperor is not an easy task. Sima Yan may be angered at any time and his body may be lost.

When Qin Maixin negotiated some conditions with the old emperor that she had long thought about and walked out of the imperial study, there was no trace of nervousness or fear on her face, but no one knew that her back was almost wet.

After getting the emperor's approval, we paid [-]% of the grain, but the harvest was still extremely rich.

She got an imperial edict, which assigned her to go to other counties and cities in Sima State to distribute food. As long as she went out, she would be equivalent to an imperial envoy.

What's more important is that the old emperor actually allowed her to take over Hu Xingzhou's position and take over Hu Xingzhou's food supply.

The overlord of the food industry.
