Qin Hua was anxiously waiting for Nangong Ao to speak, but Nangong Ao stopped halfway.

Looking at Nangong Ao silent, Qin Hua knew that it was not a good thing.

Ye Wange also saw that something that Nangong Ao felt difficult to speak must have happened.

Qin Hua looked at Nangong Ao anxiously, "Emperor, what happened to my father?"

Qin Hua asked, but Nangong Ao knew that he could not hide it. He said, "Mr. Qin became ill due to overwork and unfortunately died of illness!"

Qin Hua was quite calm when she heard this. She stood there and showed a faint sadness on her face. She did not have the heart-wrenching cry of her relatives who passed away.

Ye Wange felt a little sad when she heard this. Qin Hua's father never died sooner or later, but she died when Qin Hua sent a letter to ask about the Shen family. She thought this was strange.

"I have ordered people to send back Lord Qin's corpse. I am on the way now and will arrive in the capital soon." Nangong Ao said in a heavy mood.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Hua thanked in a low voice. Perhaps it was the premature separation that made this affection weaker. Perhaps it was because Qin Hua was originally a person with no emotions, so Qin Hua did not react too aggressively to the news of his father's death. Except for his sad face, everything was fine.

"The emperor and the queen have no instructions, so I will go down first!" Qin Hua felt sad as if she was pierced by a sharp arrow, but she endured the sadness in her heart and pretended to be calm.

"Go down!" Nangong Ao knew that Qinhua needed to rest at this time, so he asked her to leave and rest.

After Qinhua left, Ye Wange looked at Nangong Ao and said, "Prince, what's the war ahead?"

Ye Wange mainly wanted to inquire about Cao Tianyue's news, but it was difficult to inquire directly, so she had to ask about the wars on both sides to show that she was also worried about national affairs.

Nangong Ao looked even more serious when he heard this, and pursed his lips, and after a while, he said, "The war is tight, and the military pay is short." The words "Misfortune" said the difficulty of appearing.

"Is Nan Zhao's army still pressing step by step?" Ye Wange asked.

"Cao Tianyue, Hu Tong and Nan Zhao's army fought several times, and the battle was very tragic. Although they had thousands of troops in their hands, they were unable to deal with it." Nangong Ao said.

"Didn't the emperor send Dr. Shen to deliver food and grass?" Ye Wange said.

Nangong Ao replied in a cum, "Although Doctor Shen transferred food and grass nearby, the battle there was not good, and it was probably a protracted war. What we lacked the most now is military pay. If Cao Tianyue fought a protracted war there, the court would have to provide sufficient food and grass and weapons."

Ye Wange lowered her eyes and thought, a war consumed a lot of financial, material and manpower. If a protracted war was fought, how could these needs be provided continuously?

Thinking of Ye Wange's glimpse of the little insect, and the people who suffered from wars in the border, "Prince, the most painful thing about the chaotic war is those people. Does the emperor have a way to win this war and end the war so that the people can live a stable life?"

Nangong Ao thought something and after a long time he spoke, "The court is no longer available!"

Ye Wange also knew that except for one Cao family army, the Northern Tang Dynasty, there was no other army that could withstand foreign enemies. Now the Cao family army is fighting outside in one stroke and there will be reinforcements on the battlefield, but I am afraid that it will be a tragic situation where no one can send.

"I have been troubled recently. The longer the war between the two sides is, the less beneficial it will be to us. I want to concentrate my efforts and transfer General Cao Hu to the area of ​​Liaocheng, so that he can fight against Nan Zhaoren, and then go to the northeast border to support the fifth prince after winning." Nangong Ao said.

Ye Wange replied, "I don't understand the war and I dare not interrupt myself."

When Nangong Ao heard Ye Wange's words, a trace of disappointment flashed in his heart. No one could share the burden for him.

He looked at Ye Wange and said quietly, "Gu Erxi escaped from the prison. The queen should be careful. As a child Gu Erxi jumped his feet and hurt the queen."

"Yes." Ye Wange thought to herself that Gu Erxi went to Funing Palace last night. According to her speculation, Gu Erxi must have not escaped from the palace and must have been hiding in a certain place in the palace.

Ye Wange was thinking about Gu Erxi's affairs. Nangong Ao looked at Ye Wange several times and opened his mouth and wanted to speak but stopped.

The dignified king of a country really couldn't say those words, but the situation was urgent. If the war was not solved, then the emperor would not lose face, but the entire great rivers and mountains of the Northern Tang Dynasty.

"Empress, the military pay required for the war will be solved according to the queen?" Nangong Ao finally spoke with some embarrassment.

When Ye Wange heard the word "military salary", she directly equated with money. She secretly thought in her heart that if the military salary cannot be achieved in time, then Cao Tianyue must be in danger. But if she wants to collect so much military salary, where should she get it!

Ye Wange thought for a moment and said, "Short down the expenses, reduce the monthly money of each master in the palace is reduced by half, and the royal family and ministers' salaries are reduced by half."

When Nangong Ao heard Ye Wange's words, his expression gradually became cold. Even if he followed Ye Wange's method, the money he saved in the end was just a drop in the bucket and could not solve the big gap required for military pay.

Ye Wange looked at Nangong Ao and said, "When I got married, my mother accompanied me some money to me, and I was willing to take out sufficient military salary."

Ye Wange said this undoubtedly blocked Nangong Ao's road, so Nangong Ao said nothing, and said everything he said was all over the tip of his tongue.

When Ye Wange left the Yangxin Palace, she told Xiao Chongzi that she would comfort Qinhua. At the same time, she also told Xiao Chongzi that if she wanted to bring her parents, brothers and sisters to the capital, she could help.

Faced with Ye Wange's kindness, Xiao Chongzi refused, saying that his family's life is the life of his family. The Queen helped her for a while, but she couldn't help for a lifetime.

Ye Wange returned to Funing Palace and Xiaozi replied, "Empress, Qian Baishun said that Madam Feng, who lost her voice, was making a big fuss in prison."

"Just let it go! What can a mute cause trouble?" Ye Wange said indifferently.

Because of Gu Erxi, Ye Wange asked Xiaozi to put a medicine for Madam Feng's voiceless last night, and Madam Feng will never be able to speak again in her life.

"This morning, Yuzhu from the laundry room went to see Madam Feng. Madam Feng seemed to hand over a letter to Yuzhu." Xiaozhi said.

"Did you believe it?" Ye Wange asked.

"I have asked Xiao Yuanzi to pick it up." After Xiaoqiu got the news, he asked Xiao Yuanzi, who Yuzhu liked, to win the letter.

Ye Wange sat down on the chair, "Did you release the news that it was Shen Ruhui's man who did it?"

"Everything is done according to the instructions of the empress, everything is done." Xiao Ruler said.

Ye Wange asked Xiaozi to poison Madam Feng. After Xiaozi poisoned it, she released news that Chen Ruhui was going to kill someone to silence her.

The fruit dan that makes people lose their voices is there, so Ye Wange lets the small ruler poison Madam Feng and then frame Chen Ruhui.

Madam Feng, who was mute, was like a crazy beast, roaring in the cell, pulling her neck and screaming, but she couldn't make any noise.

After receiving the news, Chen Ruhui sent someone to poison Madam Feng, Gu Erxi, who ignored the injuries on her body, went to Changshou Palace.

In Changshou Palace, Qiuxiang dealt with the poisons as Chen Ruhui's instructions. Qiuxiang dug a hole under a loquat tree in the backyard and buried the poisons under the roots of the tree.

Qiuxiang's every move was seen by Gu Erxi, who was hiding on the fig tree not far from the Kaiba tree.

After Qiu Xiang left, Gu Erxi dug out the pit. Seeing that there were all kinds of poisons buried in the pit, and a doll full of needles was also buried, Gu Erxi put all the poisons in his pocket and took them away.

In Qian Baishun's house, Gu Erxi carefully looked at the poison and found that there was poison in it. After Gu Erxi completely believed Ye Wange's words. Madam Li's death was for the Shen family to kill people to silence him, and his prison disaster was also for the Shen family to silence him.

Gu Erxi was imprisoned and tricked Chen Liang. Although Chen Liang was imprisoned, Chen Liang was in prison like a formality. He went in and sat in a few days and was released. Instead, all the charges fell on him. Gu Erxi thought about these things and turned the hostile spearhead from Ye Wange to the Shen family.

Gu Erxi took his treasure box from the beam of the house, looked at the keys inside, thinking that he must get the remaining three. Only by getting those three keys can he eat up the wealth that has become a mountain.

In Funing Palace, Ye Wange was worried about Nangong Ao's lack of military pay, but the Eighth Prince arrived quietly.

"Empress, who thinks so trance?" The Eighth Prince shook the fan and said with a playful smile on his lips.

Ye Wange was already used to the Eighth Prince's elusiveness, so she was not surprised when she saw him, "Why is the Eighth Prince coming this time?"

The Eighth Prince's black eyes were smiling, "Here we relieve the Queen's worries."

Looking at the mysterious appearance of the Eighth Prince, Ye Wange knew that the Eighth Prince must have come for some big thing, "Thank you, the Eighth Prince!"

The Eighth Prince saw that he didn't know why he came, so he thanked Ye Wange smiled and said, "I don't know why I came, so you thank me, it's too early."

Ye Wange smiled without saying a word, waiting for the Eighth Prince to express his intentions.

"Gu Erxi escaped from the palace. He is looking for the key to the underground vault of Gushui Village." said the Eighth Prince.

Ye Wange was shocked when she heard this, "The key to the vault of Gushui Village?"

"Yes." The Eighth Prince shook his fan and sat down.

When Ye Wange heard the Eighth Prince say it was a vault, she immediately thought that it must be gold and silver inside, "Whose money is it?"

"Dirty." The Eighth Prince spit out two words.

Ye Wange immediately understood what dirty model it was, "Is it a dirty model that smuggled salt?"

The Eighth Prince nodded, and Ye Wange asked again, "Who is the key in his hands?"
