There have been no children born in the palace for many years.

For more than a decade, it seemed that the concubines in the harem were having an extremely difficult time conceiving.

Even if you become pregnant, it is easy to miscarry.

Many of those who were born died in infancy.

The emperor didn't know the reason at first.

Later, I found out that it was all because of the queen, and I was so angry that I almost vomited blood.

Now the Queen is grounded.

Concubine Yang became pregnant.

It seemed that it was right to ground the queen.

It would be best to confine her to Kunning Palace for the rest of her life.

In this way, your offspring will be abundant.

The emperor stepped forward, picked up Yang Furong and held her in his arms.

announced loudly,

"Starting today, Concubine Yang is promoted to Concubine Yang."

"When the emperor's son is born, he will be promoted to the imperial concubine."

Yang Furong buried her face in the emperor's arms, looking shy.

At the same time, he spoke in a soft voice:

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I deserve it."

The emperor smiled heartily,

"Hahaha... My beloved concubine deserves it. I want to thank you very much."

With that said, he took Yang Furong to the bedroom.

The emperor entered the Yutang Hall and stayed directly with Concubine Yang that night.

The next day, early in the morning, the emperor issued an imperial edict to the Yang family.

Yang Furong's brother Yang Guoan was appointed as the imperial merchant, responsible for the management of official salt.

Feng Haotian's identity as an imperial merchant will be retained for the time being.

The emperor wanted to see if Yang Guoan had business talent.

If he really had the ability, he would consider letting him completely replace Feng Haotian.

This result is also good.

Salt is a daily necessity for people.

Running the salt business well will not only bring huge profits, but it will also be a good thing for the people.

Yang Guoan was a little surprised at first when he received the imperial edict.

Then comes ecstasy.

However, he did not dare to show it on his face.

After Yang Zhongyi and his son sent the eunuch away, he called his son to the study with a serious look.

He sat on the Taishi chair, with a straight face, and slowly spoke,

"I have always not wanted you to do business."

Yang Guoan stood with his head bowed, and his heart sank when he heard his father say this.

Doesn't his father want him to resist the decree?

Yang Zhongyi suddenly changed the topic.

"But since the emperor has appointed you as the emperor's merchant, then you should run the business well. If you do it well, it will also benefit the country and the people."

Yang Guoan was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly responded:

"Yes, father, the child will definitely live up to his expectations."

"Ah."

Yang Zhongyi nodded.

There are still some doubts in my heart.

I don’t know why the emperor suddenly asked his son to run the official salt business.

It seems that Madam must find an opportunity to enter the palace to see Furong.

It's also good to know the reason behind it.

Just as he was thinking about it, the concierge took Xiao Lizi and knocked on the door of the study.

Xiao Lizi bowed into the study, knelt down and saluted,

"Greetings, Master, Young Master."

"Father-in-law, please get up."

Yang Zhongyi hurriedly raised his hand with a smile on his face.

Yang Guoan stepped forward directly and helped Xiao Lizi up.

"Father-in-law, please get up."

After Xiao Lizi stood up, he said directly:

"Concubine Yang is very happy. Your Majesty has promoted her to a noble concubine. The canonization ceremony will be held in two days."

Yang Zhongyi and Yang Guozhong were overjoyed after hearing this.

Yang Zhongyi couldn't help but shout softly,

"This is such a joy."

"It's truly a blessing from our ancestors."

Xiao Lizi also had a smile on his face and continued:

"Concubine Yang asked me to tell the eldest master and the eldest young master that the emperor learned that the eldest young master has business talents, and specially appointed the eldest young master as the emperor's merchant to run the salt business first."

"If the young master can handle his errands well, he will have a bright future."

"I hope the young master will handle his errands well and not let down His Majesty's high expectations."

After hearing this, the father and son were immediately relieved of their doubts.

The father and son looked at each other and responded in unison,

"I sincerely follow the teachings of the empress."

From then on, Yang Guoan was able to embark on the road of doing business.

The years of estrangement between father and son also disappeared in an instant.

Yunlai Inn.

Princess Liuli had just finished her breakfast and was feeling bored when the waiter knocked on the door.

Rouge opened the door.

The waiter in the shop was all smiles and handed Yanzhi a letter.

"This is a letter for your lady, please keep it."

Yanzhi rewarded the waiter with a few coins.

Afterwards, he took the letter, closed the door, turned around and entered the room and handed the letter into Princess Liuli's hands.

Princess Liuli opened the letter herself, and there were two short lines written inside,

"Please get on the carriage in front of the inn and take you to see His Highness King Jing."

Princess Liuli read the letter and handed it directly to Yanzhi.

Rouge took it and looked at it, then showed it to Huamei.

After reading the letter, both of them were a little worried.

"Your Highness Princess, do you really want to go to the appointment?"

Rouge asked.

"Yes, princess, we'd better be careful."

Huamei answered.

Princess Liuli was not willing to listen. She stood up and straightened her clothes.

"I, Ouyang Liuli, have never been afraid of anyone."

After saying that, she strode out without looking back.

Yanzhi and Huamei hurriedly followed him out.

Sure enough, there was a carriage parked at the door of the inn.

The driver was a boy.

Seeing Princess Liuli and the others coming out, they hurriedly jumped off the carriage and stepped forward, bowed and said,

"Invite three girls in the car."

Princess Liuli looked at the boy and asked:

"Are you from Leng Mansion?"

The boy shook his head,

"No, a girl gave me five taels of silver and ordered me to pick up some girls."

"As for whether that girl is from Leng Mansion, I don't know."

Princess Liuli nodded and asked no more questions.

He went straight to the carriage.

Rouge and Huamei followed.

As soon as they got on the carriage, they smelled a faint fragrance.

Princess Liuli sniffed and said secretly,

This smells good, but I don’t know what it is?

The carriage started slowly and headed out of the city.

Princess Liuli opened the window at first and watched the excitement along the street.

When the carriage left the city, she began to yawn constantly and her eyelids began to tremble.

Huamei and Yanzhi also felt their heads were dizzy, and waves of sleepiness came over them.

"Ah...I'm so sleepy. I'll take a nap first."

Princess Liuli stretched herself, leaned against the car wall and fell asleep.

Rouge and Huamei suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Just when I was about to get up and check, my legs went weak and they both fell asleep.

The carriage continued to drive quickly to remote areas in the countryside.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a dilapidated thatched house.

Leng Xihe walked out of the room, followed by several guards from Princess Changping's Mansion.

The boy driving the car jumped out of the car and stepped forward to bow to Leng Xihe.

"Miss Leng, I have brought you the reward you promised me..."

Leng Xihe didn't wait for him to finish and took out a banknote from his sleeve pocket.

"Take it."

The boy immediately burst into laughter.

"Thank you, Miss Leng."

He reached out to take it, lowered his head and stuffed the banknote into his sleeve pocket.

He did not forget to promise:

"Miss Leng, don't worry."

"After accepting your money, I will definitely keep my mouth shut and will not reveal what happened today to anyone."

Just as he was speaking, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest, and a cold dagger pierced his heart.

He looked up at Leng Xihe in disbelief,

"you…"

Leng Xihe held the dagger in his hand and said coldly with no expression on his face:

"Only dead people cannot speak."

After that, she pulled out the dagger, and the young man immediately fell to the ground. He twitched a few times and stopped moving.
