The sky is gloomy and the palace is cold.

A beautiful and tall figure stood in front of the railing, with long eaves around it, red walls and yellow tiles, showing the majesty of the royal family.

There was a team of men following the patrol, who were guards of the Eastern Palace, wearing the robe of the Yizhi School Captain, just like the little thief at the time.

Li Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, and the autumn style became colder. At some point, she brought raindrops as thin as silkworms and touched people's cheeks, urging a chill.

This chill made her wake up from her messy thoughts, and she suddenly felt that the little thief was in front of her.

He was still smiling so badly, with a sense of slutiness. He was worthy of being a wild boy from a farmer's family. He hated so much in his hallucinations, and Li Lingfeng thought to himself.

Suddenly, the hallucination moved, and he actually had an oil paper umbrella in his hand.

"Your Highness, be careful of the rain."

Li Lingfeng was shocked and subconsciously wanted to cover her butt behind her, "Why are you here?"

Chen Shou brought an umbrella himself, and before leaving, he was surprised that Lu'er was talking nonsense, but he didn't expect it to be raining.

He relied on his good practice recently and handed the umbrella to Li Lingfeng. Regardless of the cold wind and rain, he smiled and said, "I see, the hairpin you wore a few days ago is exquisite and novel, but the material is just an ordinary East Pearl. A few days ago, I got a few royal gems from the Karakhan in the Western Regions and specially found someone to make one for you. Do you like it or not?"

After saying that, he took out a small box from his arms, opened it, and pushed it to Li Lingfeng. It was indeed dazzling.

Chen Shou was also a little embarrassed. He beat others for no reason, how can he get along with him in the future... This is the real Xiliang princess. On the day she entered Beijing, countless Xiliang soldiers shouted in the sky on the city wall, which still makes people feel very excited.

Li Lingfeng snatched it over, held it tightly in her hand, but snorted coldly, "Who cares..."

The rain slowly became heavier, and both of them wanted to say something, but they didn't know how to speak.

The rain wet Chen Shou's hair and flowed along his neck to his chest.

"Your Highness, if nothing happens, I...I will take my leave first."

Li Lingfeng raised her chin and nodded slightly, like a noble white swan.

Chen Shou grinned, bared his little white teeth, and left with his fists.

Li Lingfeng watched as she left, and finally lowered her head. She didn't know what she thought of, and sighed softly.

She took out the pearly hairpin from the small box and rubbed it gently.

The lingering autumn rain intertwines a silk screen covering the world, just like the thoughts of the beauty in front of the railing, soft and delicate, yet desolate and cold.

---

In Chunhe Hall, a gilded bronze crane incense burner was filled with a faint cigarette, and he sat on the futon with a pious look on his face.

There was a middle-aged man standing outside. It was Wei Yunse, the prime minister of the dynasty. He was the only one who could meet the emperor at this time.

"Your Majesty, the autumn flood in the east of the river is broken, and the people are suffering from natural disasters and starving people everywhere. This is really contrary to the harmony of nature. I ask Your Majesty to approve it and issue an order to open warehouses and release grain and treat the victims."

Emperor Gengyuan frowned and sighed, "Is it because of such a flood disaster that I am not sincere in practicing Taoism that I have such a warning? Don't delay my practice... I'll call Chen Shou to the palace to meet him."

Wei Yunse stood there, although he was separated by the curtains, but he could still imagine what His Majesty looked like at this time.

He lowered his head deeply, hiding the ruthlessness that flashed in his eyes. The thief of Xiliang had completely bewitched His Majesty.

If he doesn't remove him, he can only remove the emperor...

After a while, Chen Shou hurried to the hall.

The old emperor then spoke again, "Chen Shou, there are many people dead in the autumn winter in Hedong. Please help me calculate..."

Chen Shou raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to worry. This matter has been calculated last month, but I am afraid that your Majesty's heart will be disrupted, so I have never said it. The autumn flood in Hedong is a matter of Hedong. If God warns, then the accident will be the capital. Since this incident has alarmed the emperor, my Jinyu Guard is willing to go out to Beijing to provide disaster relief and solve your problems."

When Wei Yunse heard this, he secretly shouted "It's not good, and he quickly said, "The so-called professionalism is specialized. The court has its own office in charge of disaster relief. So don't bother Chen Changshi. It's better for the attendant to refine alchemy for His Majesty."

Emperor Gengyuan agreed and said, "Don't be distracted."

Chen Shou smiled, "Your Majesty and Wei Prime Minister don't know anything. Although something happened in Hedong, we cannot ignore it. I intend to send Taoist priest Yanqing Temple to go to Hedong to build a Taoist temple for Your Majesty."

This is another move! Wei Yunse was angry, but he couldn't release his anger.

This little thief really had a lot of money and used his name to build a Taoist temple for His Majesty, and he frantically made money in the suburbs of the city. Many ministers and wealthy families were blackmailed by him.

Jiang Chucai's fertile land was confiscated directly, and Zuopao Camp was driven out of the camp.

What's even worse is that the prince-in-law Wang Chaolong was forced to confiscate and went to a huge manor, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Whoever asked those detestable Golden Feathers said, "Is it important to you or pray for His Majesty?"

Sure enough, when Emperor Gengyuan heard this, he immediately agreed with a smile, "As long as you are in the capital, I will be relieved. Wang Nian, I have given me a sealed document and ordered local counties to cooperate with Taoist Master Yanqingguan and not delay."

The old eunuch bent down and said, "Abide by the order."

He looked up at Wei Yunse, looked at each other, and then lowered his head.

Chen Shou smiled and looked very calm, but in fact he was already filled with joy.

My own power finally had the opportunity to reach the place legitimately. Hedong is the only way for the northern aliens to enter the Central Plains, especially the Khitan merchants. That was another expensive business tax.

As for Wei Yunse, his face was even more ugly. Hedong was rich and his family was everywhere. In order to protect his power, these families were willing to spend a lot of money to bribe those in power.

Their annual tribute feeds a large number of officials in the court, and it is Wei Yunse's money bag.

Once Chen Shou starts to get involved and he discovers the benefits in it, it would be strange if this little thief doesn't bite a bite of fat.

"A tyrant monarch and slander!"

Wei Yunse accidentally continued to listen to Chen Shou and Gengyuan Emperor discussing some shitty Taoist hearts. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell at once that Chen Shou was far-fetched and tried to make the emperor happy.

But this is like the emperor's new clothes. Who dares to stand up and speak? The old emperor is already in a state of age. He has now lost the determination and wisdom he was young. He is like a child, longing for the illusory immortality.

Perhaps it is time to change the monarch of this world of Da Qi.
