On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Seeing that he could not get any information out of him, and learning from Prince Yong that the emperor was indeed seriously ill, the prince was slightly delighted. He pretended to be polite and told the emperor to go back home and rest.

The prince turned and went to the main hall, wanting to pay his respects to the emperor and to inquire at the same time.

Halfway through the journey, I met Su Yundong.

Su Yundong walked hurriedly and his face looked unhappy. He looked up and saw the prince. He immediately looked around and stepped forward to greet him.

He lowered his voice and replied, "Your Highness, Li De has already moved his bedding into the palace and is staying there. It looks like he will be on duty day and night."

The prince's eyes narrowed and he waved his hand silently. Su Yundong stepped back and the two parted as if nothing had happened.

The prince felt the anger in his chest squeezed up his throat and a ball of anger gathered in his head.

Summoning Lao Liu and putting Li De on duty, what does this mean?

The emperor, his father, was actually so wary of him!

Under such circumstances, shouldn't he be the one guarding the bedside day and night?

Once the emperor dies, he will be able to succeed to the throne smoothly, but what does this mean now?

Could it be that the emperor wants to change the crown prince?

The prince paused, and the chief eunuch beside him also stopped quickly.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"

The prince was silent for a moment: "Return to the East Palace."

Since the emperor no longer misses the relationship between father and son, there is no need for him to go to the palace to inquire and pretend to be affectionate.

The emperor finished reviewing the memorial with his red pen, then slowly raised his head and said, "It seems that the Sixth Master is not bad. I overlooked him before."

"Decree," the emperor paused, "grant Prince Yong three hundred-year-old ginsengs and ten cups of blood swallows. In addition, grant him the management rights of the Ministry of Revenue."

Eunuch Wei was startled and lowered his head even more: "Yes."

The Ministry of Revenue already has a Shangshu, so what does it mean to give him management power? Moreover, when Prince Yi created a fake epidemic, Prince Yong had asked about the Ministry of Revenue, which had already made the Crown Prince dissatisfied.

At this critical juncture...

Eunuch Wei felt a little cold in his heart.

But since the imperial decree was like this, he dared not disobey.

When the imperial edict arrived at Prince Yong's mansion, Prince Yong was stunned for a moment. After being reminded by the eunuch, he quickly accepted the edict and expressed his gratitude.

As soon as the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, the confidant beside Prince Yong frowned and whispered, "My Lord, isn't this making the Crown Prince use you as a target?"

Prince Yong held the imperial edict tightly and lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes blocking the coldness in his eyes: "It doesn't matter, we will have to face each other sooner or later, it's just a little earlier."

"That's what you say, but... the prince is still the prince after all, and he is very powerful. Now is not the best time."

How could Prince Yong not know this? But now that things have come to this, it is clear that the Emperor intends to give him a push. Is it because he has seen the Crown Prince's treachery and wants to use him to warn the Crown Prince, or is it because he wants to use him as a sharpening stone for the Crown Prince to make him more ruthless and stronger?

Either way, he had to accept it.

Putting away the imperial edict, Prince Yong said coldly: "Since the imperial edict says so, we will do it according to it. As for the extent to which it is done, it is up to me to decide."

The emperor wanted to use him to train the prince, but how could he know that he would not take the opportunity to kill the prince with his knife?

"Go to the An Mansion and ask Minister An to come over for a chat."

"Yes."

An Cizhou was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He did a great job in the incident with Prince Yi and was highly praised by the Emperor. His father was also the former Prime Minister, so his future was limitless.

Since the emperor gave him the power to manage the Ministry of Revenue, it is his duty to meet An Cizhou.

When the prince heard the news in the East Palace, he was so angry that he smashed all the cups and plates.

"No wonder it's not my ginseng, it turns out it was sent by my father! Oh, who the hell is Old Six? A sickly person that no one cares about, and he thinks he can fight me?"

"Just the power to manage the Ministry of Revenue, can he go to heaven?"

The counselor bravely advised: "Your Highness, don't be careless, the Ministry of Revenue is not an ordinary one..."

"Bang!" A brush exploded at his feet.

"Don't I know that the Ministry of Revenue is extraordinary? It's because you are useless! If you were useful, why would you let him stay until today? Get out!"

The counselor dared not say anything more and walked out with his head down.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I heard the prince's voice in the hall behind me was not right.

Is this...an addiction again?

The counselors exchanged glances quickly, looked worried, and left the East Palace.

……

The capital city was in turmoil, and Yan Ruyu was at the manor looking at the mine that the abbot and his men had found.

There is a difference between hearing the news over the phone and seeing it with your own eyes.

The abbot was very excited: "I haven't found the nugget gold yet, but I think I will find it soon."

"Ruyu, is their metallurgical technology good enough? I remember that ancient gold contained copper?"

Yan Ruyu nodded and did not deny: "Indeed, it is not like the thousand or even ten thousand feet we had back then."

"So what? Can you? Get something pure?"

"Actually, no need," Yan Ruyu said with a smile, "We are not taking it back to use, so it is just here, according to the rules here, it is the same."

The abbot thought about it and it made sense. One hundred grams of pure gold and their current standard one hundred grams would definitely use more pure gold, but the price would not be much higher.

It’s still a good deal.

Now that the mine has been found, there is a lot more to do, including mining, metallurgy, and a series of processes that will require more people.

When searching for mineral veins, two or three main forces and some assistants to provide protection, a dozen or so people are enough and will not attract the attention of others.

But if we go through the whole process, it’s hard to say.

Yan Ruyu discussed with Huo Changhe, and Huo Changhe already had a plan.

He held up the map of the manor and said to Yan Ruyu, "There is a cellar over here, and this is the warehouse. The distance is not too far. I am thinking of digging an underground passage so that we don't have to walk on the ground and can go directly through the passage."

"Except for the tenants, all others will be replaced by our people. They don't go there, nor do they go to the warehouse. We use our own people for mining and metallurgy. Xiang Guang and others can come."

Yan Ruyu agreed, feeling that the problem was mostly solved in an instant: "Go back and tell Governor Cao, and ask him to send some people."

Although they discovered and mined the mine, they cannot enjoy it exclusively.

Huo Changhe smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking. I'll go talk to him when I get back, and we can discuss the trade as well."

The two men agreed, told the abbot, and prepared to leave.

As soon as I reached the moon gate, I heard someone crying.

"Please, big brother, let me see my benefactor. I promise not to disturb you. I will just say a few words and leave."

"No, you don't have to cry here, leave immediately."

The person who spoke was one of Song Ping's brothers, and he spoke in a straightforward and clear manner.

Yan Ruyu had a smile in her eyes. It was okay. She didn't soften her heart just because she was a woman, nor did she give up her principles just because she cried.

Hearing the voice, Yan Ruyu remembered that this was the woman who was captured together with the lewd monk Kongming.

If she hadn't heard her voice, Yan Ruyu would have almost forgotten her.

Kongming is dead. Although she was with Kongming, she was still a weak woman with no one to rely on, so there was no need to take her life.

"Let her come here."

Hearing the sound, the guard let him go. The woman came over with her skirt lifted up, and before she got close, she knelt down.
