Although they were close friends, Shen Ning still felt uncomfortable talking to Li Yan.

Although the child looked very well behaved, she knew that he was a black-hearted kid.

But if you say he is a bad person, that's not the case. If he were really a bad person, she wouldn't have tried so hard to let him survive and become the emperor.

The topic of life-saving grace was too heavy, and Shen Ning didn't want to continue talking to him about his injuries or reviewing the process of his injury.

There is no point in talking about the past, so it is better to talk about something practical.

Shen Ning took out the booklet that he had prepared long ago: "Take a look at this first."

Li Yan took it and looked through it carefully. Shen Ning waited until he had finished reading it before saying, "Money is very important for a country, but if a country's money is only obtained by exploiting its people, then the country cannot be strong. A country needs money, but this money should not be plundered, but should flow into savings and accumulation."

"I am a businessman now. I only like making money, the process of accumulating wealth, and the satisfaction of making money as a businessman. As for how much I have, that is secondary."

"Your Majesty's new policy, the country needs money. If we want to be a strong country in the future, money is indispensable. If you are willing to trust me once, I would like to become your majesty's money bag."

Li Yan didn't understand the ways of business, but he knew that Shen Ning was very good at doing business.

Looking carefully at the plan compiled by Shen Ning, according to what she said, opening up trade routes and connecting the north and the south, if it really develops, it is not difficult to imagine how prosperous the future will be.

"Is this what you came to the palace for?"

Shen Ning chuckled: "Meeting you is the most important thing, everything else is secondary."

Li Yan was happy: "I can fully support you in this matter. All the money in my private treasury is at your disposal, but this can only be regarded as cooperation between us. You saved my life and I haven't repaid you yet. I don't know what to give you, so you can make a request. As long as you say it, I will agree to it."

This was not his personal decision, but an imperial promise.

After saying this, he unconsciously clenched his hanging hands, looking at Shen Ning expectantly, with some ideas gradually sprouting in his mind.

In fact, this thought did not just come to him now. On the day when Shen Ning carried him on his back to escape, those feelings had already taken root in his heart. However, there were too many things and he was too busy these days, so he did not have enough time to think about it, or he could not afford to think about it.

Until I finally saw her at this moment, all my emotions were growing wildly.

He was only fifteen years old, very young, but if he hadn't been in poor health, he should have had concubines serving him at the age of fifteen.

When he was thirteen or fourteen years old, many palace maids relied on their beauty to try to gain the upper hand and become his mentor. He knew that he had dodged their scheme, but he also understood some things.

He is now fifteen years old and is still the emperor of a country. As soon as the mourning period for the late emperor is over, people will immediately want to send women to his harem. He wants to marry a queen and take concubines.

He is not young anymore.

He knew that Shen Ning was the one Qin Zhuo liked, and that they had a good relationship, but feelings were not something he could control.

When he was dying, it was Shen Ning who was by his side. She saved him, carried him so far, coaxed him, protected him with her life, and even almost died with him.

How could he remain indifferent? She was the only woman he wanted to be close to.

Even though he knew his thoughts were wrong, he couldn't control it. What he wanted most these days was to see her.

Qin Zhuo had a relationship with her, but they were not married, and they didn't even have an engagement. Why couldn't he?

Stealing someone's love...what's wrong with that?

The queen mother loves her younger brother the most. As long as it is related to Qin Zhuo, her biological son has to give way.

The person Qin Zhuo felt most sorry for was his sister. As the crown prince, he had half the blood of the old emperor, and the crown prince had never been treated well since he was a child.

Qin Zhuo killed for him, was exiled for him, fought for him, and seized the throne for him, but all this was just because his mother was his sister.

So why can't he win the woman that Qin Zhuo likes?

However, just as the emotions in his heart were surging like waves and were about to drown him, he wanted to express those emotions regardless of the consequences.

Shen Ning smiled and said, "You have only been emperor for a few days, but you are so arrogant. I really don't need you to repay me. I have said that if you live to be emperor, it will be a huge profit for me. I hope you will be a good emperor, and the country will be peaceful and prosperous. I can live my life freely under your rule. Hiss... Thinking about it this way, my request is quite difficult."

Li Yan's eyes were filled with soft light, and he forgot to put up his disguise when he looked at her.

"What about Qin Zhuo? What is he in your life?"

Shen Ning: "He is an accident. In my plan, I didn't actually plan to be with someone for the rest of my life. He never mentioned marriage, and I don't hate getting married. It's fine as it is now."

Li Yan was quite jealous of Qin Zhuo, but Shen Ning's indifferent attitude made him feel good.

Shen Ning blinked: "I almost forgot that he is your uncle. You won't be angry with me because of him, right?"

Li Yan felt like he was just listening to a joke. He was partial to Qin Zhuo and resented Shen Ning? He was dreaming.

It's a good thing that he and Qin Zhuo don't become enemies.

"Of course I won't be angry with you, but from your tone, it seems that you don't care about him very much. Have you ever thought about choosing someone else?"

Qin Zhuo is not important, but can he be easily replaced?

Shen Ning shook his head: "He is very good. I am too lazy to choose someone else. It's not like I am picking cabbages."

Li Yan suddenly tilted his head and asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Who do you like more, me or Qin Zhuo?"

This question is somewhat unreasonable.

Shen Ning looked at him, and through his dark and clear eyes, he seemed to be able to see his true intentions.

She didn't dodge, nor did she point out anything to correct, she just looked at him straight in the eyes with undisguised love for him.

"Your Majesty may know that I have a younger brother. I used to love him very much. In my imagination, I hope my younger brother is well-behaved and cute. He can also be a mischievous boy. It's harmless for him to get into trouble occasionally."

"After my parents passed away, I supported the family. I don't care about the hard work or the hardships I have to face. I think as long as my brothers and sisters grow up safely and live a healthy life, that's enough. I will protect them and they don't need to go through the hardships I went through."

"But it's obvious that they are crooked. Even wolves know how to repay a favor, but they are jackals who can only tear my flesh and blood one bite at a time."

"Although I tried my best to sever the bond between us, the scars of being torn apart remain in my heart."

She smiled and said, "But I was really happy when His Majesty called me sister. You are like the most perfect brother in my imagination, well-behaved, sensible, obedient, and very handsome."

Being treated as a younger brother?

Li Yan felt that his thoughts were about love between a man and a woman, and he should be very opposed to being treated as a younger brother, but surprisingly, he felt quite happy.

Her eyes were filled with joy and her mouth was full of praise.

Although she liked his deliberate pretense of being well-behaved, she was so smart that she hoped he would be a good emperor. Being well-behaved and obedient did not make one a good emperor.

She knew he was different, but she liked him all the same.

Does the sister like her brother?

Why not?

His mother loved her younger brother the most and had no feelings for his father at all.

If he becomes Shen Ning's younger brother, then Shen Ning will definitely love him the most. Will Qin Zhuo also have to take a back seat?

(A brief explanation: Li Yan may want love between a man and a woman, but more importantly, he wants to be loved uniquely by someone. In his opinion, the love that a sister has for her brother is purer and deeper than love between a man and a woman. He has always been jealous of Qin Zhuo because he gets the love and favoritism of his mother. Therefore, compared to getting the heroine, getting love from a sister makes him more excited. The simple explanation is - a little brat who lacks love and is a little paranoid)
