Su Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief when she came out of the study. When she walked back to the room, Dan Mo had already sorted out the palace's account books and filled the desk.

"Is this the legendary country with unparalleled wealth?" Su Qingcheng was shocked, picked up a book at random and started reading it.

Just in one place in the capital, if there are ten shops on a street, half of them are Ye Tantai's property, and the other half are more or less his partners. According to this situation, even if Nanye's treasury deficit is serious, it is possible Ye Tantai also has a way to fill it up.

Su Qingcheng had no choice but to look at this huge project and said with a wry smile: "There's no need to sleep tonight."

"Fu Yi just said that the prince said that the princess does not have to read all of this. If she doesn't want to read it, just give it to Fu Yi. The princess just needs to lie down and collect the money." Dan Mo said.

"Did the prince really say that?" Su Qingcheng secretly rejoiced in her heart. What could be more joyful than getting money while lying down.

Dan Mo nodded and said: "Well, he came over when the princess went to the study. He said that the prince gave the princess the account book not to let the princess manage it for him, but just to let the princess know how much the prince's family property is. When the princess goes out, You need to be more confident.”

Su Qingcheng felt warm in her heart and raised her lips: "Forget it, since you enjoy the convenience of being the prince's wife, you can't just do nothing."

She sat down on the chair, picked up the account book closest to her hand, and read through it carefully.

Perhaps during those years of being locked up in Fengwu Hall with nothing else to do, Su Qingcheng developed the ability to read ten lines at a glance and have a photographic memory. In just one hour, more than half of the account books on the table were missing.

She stretched, pinched her sore neck, and was about to stand up and move around. Dan Mo came in from outside the room: "Princess, the Master Cai has booked the teahouse. Xiaodie asked him what he wanted to do, but he didn't say anything. Sitting there like that, Xiaodie felt something was wrong and sent someone to send a message."

Cai Zhiwu?

Su Qingcheng raised her eyebrows, wondering why these young masters and princes always reserved the venue to meet with her...

"He probably wants to see me. Let's go to the teahouse."

"Do you want to tell the prince?" Dan Mo said.

Su Qingcheng hesitated for a moment and said, "No need. I'll go find him when I get back."

The two got on the carriage and headed to the teahouse.

Xiaodie and the waiters in the teahouse were waiting in front of the door. As soon as the palace's carriage arrived, they all rushed to greet it. Xiaodie said: "Master Cai sent us all out and said no one would be allowed in."

She looked a little embarrassed, as if she was wondering whether calling Su Qingcheng over was the right decision. Su Qingcheng nodded slightly and said warmly: "You guys can wait outside."

"Yes."

Su Qingcheng held up her dress and walked slowly into the teahouse.

"Didn't I say that no one is allowed in?" Cai Zhiwu didn't even look back, looking out the window, his voice cold and distant.

"Don't you want to see me?" Su Qingcheng did not stop and walked towards Cai Zhiwu in the corner.

When Cai Zhiwu heard this, the early spring sunshine hit Su Qingcheng's back. She was wearing a light pink brocade wrapped around her breasts, with white smoke and lotus flowers hanging on the ground. A light cyan ribbon hung around her waist, and she wore a blue aster white gauze cape on her wrists. It is surrounded by a delicate and thin sapphire bracelet, which makes a jingling sound.

His eyes were wandering, and he quietly retracted his gaze. For some reason, he slightly hooked up the corners of his mouth and said, "You are really beautiful."

Su Qingcheng had already walked and sat down opposite him. She was slightly stunned when she heard his nonsensical compliments and smiled generously: "If you want to see me, just send me a greeting directly. Why bother booking the teahouse? If the teahouse business is not good in the future, I’m going to blame you.”

"If I send a greeting, he will definitely come with me, right?" Cai Zhiwu pushed the tea he had made in front of Su Qingcheng, "I wonder if I would be lucky enough to play a game of chess with Princess Yunan?"

Su Qingcheng just smiled, looked at the chessboard on the table, and said, "Didn't you already agree for me?"

Cai Zhiwu acquiesced and dropped the sunspot directly. What was surprising was that he dropped the sunspot in the corner of the chessboard.

"I wonder what Mr. Cai has asked me to do today?" Su Qingcheng didn't waste any words and arranged her chess pieces on the chessboard gracefully.

"Princess Yunan is so smart, why not take a guess?" Cai Zhiwu didn't hesitate, deciding where to place his bets almost instantly.

"But, I don't want to guess." Su Qingcheng was a veteran. In just a few words, the two of them had already formed their own territory. "If Mr. Cai didn't say anything, I would have gone back home after this game." , Your Majesty is still waiting for me to have dinner."

Her answer surprised Cai Zhiwu, and then he curled up his lips and said softly: "Sure enough... only someone like the princess can subdue him."

Although Su Qingcheng heard what he said, she didn't know what he meant and didn't intend to ask.

She was fully focused on the chess game, as if she was really not curious about Cai Zhiwu's purpose.

"You can't let him go." Cai Zhiwu's tone suddenly became serious, and his chess moves became sharper.

"Why? The prince has invited you to go out on his own, how can I stop him?" Su Qingcheng paused slightly, but the opponent did not notice, and the chess game continued.

"The emperor may have deliberately used the Twelve Cities of Dingbei to provoke him. He had planned to let him go to the battlefield from the beginning."

Cai Zhiwu's words made Su Qingcheng's heart tighten. This was a possibility that she had never thought of...

"Why do you say that?" Even though her heart was in a mess, her face was still very calm. She didn't want Cai Zhiwu to notice her panic.

"The Twelve Cities of Dingbei are the fiefdom of his biological mother, and also the place where his parents fell in love." Cai Zhiwu said.

Su Qingcheng had doubts in her heart. Could it be that the emperor's throne was obtained by forging the will of the former empress dowager, as Bai Yin said?

So if he wanted to send Ye Tantai to the battlefield, it meant that there was something on Ye Tantai that the emperor had been searching for, and he even planned to kill him.

What was it that made Fu Xingzhou in his previous life and the emperor in this life make the same decision to kill Ye Tantai?

"In short, if the emperor can sit in that position, he is definitely not a kind person. Even if he is old and confused, his sinister nature will not change." Cai Zhiwu's eyes were full of resentment.

"Does the former princess only have one son, Ye Tantai?" Su Qingcheng asked inexplicably.

Cai Zhiwu looked at her as if she were an idiot: "Of course, have you ever heard that King Yunan has other brothers and sisters?"

Su Qingcheng suddenly realized that what the emperor was looking for was probably the former emperor's concubine's true will.

According to the decree, the next emperor of Nanye appointed by the former emperor was Ye Tantai.

In this way, he has always been the master of this country...
