At noon that day, Huang Chenling's forehead wrinkled up after listening to several important ministers coming to report on the public sentiment.
"Your Majesty, why are you so worried?" The Great Emperor Huang Tianchang strode forward directly without calling anyone to tell him. He did not take Huang Chenling seriously at all.
"Uncle Emperor, you can guess what I'm worried about, so why bother asking more." Huang Chenling said.
The Great Emperor Huang Tianchang glanced at the pile of memorials on the table and said, "There are so many memorials opposing taxation. What are you going to do, Your Majesty?"
"I'm going to stop for a while, don't collect it in such a hurry. Uncle, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you the amount you want on time. You also saw that such an increase in tax items will cause chaos in all parts of the city." Huang Chenling said directly.
.
"Okay, since your abilities are limited, Your Majesty, as the emperor's uncle, I should help you share the burden. What can be solved by force is not a problem. I see who else can't pay for it." The Emperor
Yehuang Tianchang also said it directly.
"Uncle Emperor, if you act like this, what's the difference between you and the bandits on the mountain?" Huang Chenling scolded.
"The beginning of a dynasty is originally started by bandits. Whoever is big and evil has the final say. In the end, people just used beautiful words to embellish its formation. What is benevolence-based and conquering the world with virtue are just tricks to deceive people.
.Creating a false and beautiful scene to show those people, you must not have been brainwashed by your hypocritical father, right? How can you be such a naive emperor?" Huang Tianchang mocked him.
"Uncle Emperor, I don't agree with what you said." Huang Chenling directly rejected his idea.
"Do you want to stop me?" Huang Tianchang glared at him.
"I just hope that your uncle won't be so extreme and look at things so one-sided. If I try to stop him, there will probably be even more chaos outside." Huang Chenling had no intention of stopping him.
"You didn't stop me, but you talked a lot of nonsense. It seems that that guy Shenhuang really taught you that you can't live without nonsense. That's all I have to say today, farewell." Huang Tianchang finished speaking unhappily,
Just leave.
His words would not make Huang Chenling angry in the slightest. Huang Chenling knew that what her father taught was the right way. Because her father would never use words to deal with the common people.
"This guy Tian Chang has not changed at all. He is just as annoying as before." Huang Shenhuang suddenly walked out of the darkness and said.
"Father? Why are you here?" Huang Chenling was frightened.
"Come to see how you handle political affairs? But I heard Tian Chang's arrogance." Huang Shenhuang walked to the table and picked up the memorial to read it.
"Father, I have tried my best. If I don't drive the eldest uncle out for a day, there will be no peace for a day." Huang Chenling said angrily.
"You haven't tried your best yet. You are saving your strength. Don't be controlled by him for the sake of a woman." Huang Shenhuang said it straightforwardly.
"Father, I will not give in, so please stop trying to persuade me." Huang Chenling said even more displeased.
"I'm not advising you, I'm reminding you. If you want to be emperor, you must take care of yourself and stop being emotional for others." Huang Shenhuang said instructively.
"So, father, all the women around you have a bad end, is that the case?" Huang Chenling asked in return.
"There is one exception." Huang Shenhuang said unconvinced.
"You have to have a strong martial arts and high IQ like Concubine Yin to be able to stay by your side." Huang Chenling said in a vomiting tone.
"Since I'm here, why don't I accompany you to review these memorials today? Don't say that my father doesn't love you anymore." Huang Shenhuang rarely said to him in a father's tone.
After Huang Chenling heard this, he was stunned for a while. Maybe he hadn't been tenderly loved by Huang Shenhuang for a long time, and now he couldn't bear this feeling of fatherly love.
However, when he thought that Huang Shenhuang was not his biological father at all, but Huang Guiyuan, the uncle of the second emperor, and that his biological mother died trying to hide the fact, this matter made him very uneasy.
"You haven't come over yet, why are you standing there?" Huang Shenhuang shouted, seeing that he was still standing in a daze.
"Here we come." Huang Chenling responded softly.
The two of them slowly reviewed the memorials, and Huang Shenhuang patiently taught Huang Chenling how to deal with these difficult memorials.
In Huang Fengmo's mansion.
"Ruocheng, your hands are a little cold, are you okay?" Huang Fengmo held her hand and asked worriedly.
"It's okay. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night and my complexion is not good." Yan Ruocheng said in a concealed voice. Her blood and qi were getting worse and worse these days. As the poison spread more, various symptoms appeared in her body.
, so that Dr. Li was at a loss what to do. She was drinking and taking medicine basically every hour, so it was inevitable that she would be weak.
"Then don't bask in the sun with me, go back and rest." Huang Fengmo said.
"If I don't bask in the sun, I'm afraid I will become weaker." Yan Ruocheng said softly.
Huang Fengmo suddenly took her hand and pulled her whole body into his arms. Because Yan Ruocheng was too weak and had no strength, she was suddenly pulled into his arms and sat down firmly.
"Your Highness, if there are servants passing by, it wouldn't be good if they were seen." She warned.
"Are you afraid that the servants will see it, or are you afraid that Xiao Ling will see it?" Huang Fengmo asked back. After the previous time, he was still worried about it.
"Don't worry too much. I'm just afraid of hurting your legs, Your Highness. I'm afraid your legs won't be able to bear the weight." Yan Ruocheng said jokingly.
"You have lost a lot of weight, and you are still talking nonsense." Huang Fengmo was very considerate. Compared with her previous thoughts, she had obviously lost a lot of weight, which made him feel like he was holding a paper man.
Yan Ruocheng was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that he would notice this detail like this.
"The effect of eating a vegetarian diet and taking bitter medicine, hahaha, it's better to lose weight and detoxify." She said with a wry smile.
"You can still laugh." Huang Fengmo frowned and fumbled with his hands, trying to touch her face.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Yan Ruocheng quickly held his hand.
"I want to touch the wound on your face to see how it is? You haven't let me touch it these days." Huang Fengmo said directly.
"Isn't it the same as before?" Yan Ruocheng said pretending to be fine. In fact, the injury was more serious than before, with black poison spreading towards half of his face. Fortunately, Xiaoling is now with Huang Shenhuang.
Take it with you, otherwise it will scare him.
"If it's nothing, you stopped me from coming for a check-up. Once you do this, you are telling me that your condition is very bad." Huang Fengmo began to say with a straight face.
"Alas!" Yan Ruocheng sighed heavily.
"I was right, and I still sighed."
Yan Ruocheng didn't want to say anything more, so she leaned her head slightly on his shoulder and said, "Your Highness, you guessed it right, I'm very tired, just let me lean on you."
"Yeah, okay. It'll be fine." Huang Fengmo said coaxingly.
Abandoned City. Yunxi got the detoxification formula written by Huang Guiyuan and has been experimenting with it for the past few days.
"Oops, failed again!"
She made medicine many times, but failed again and again.
"Are you sure he didn't write anything wrong?" Huan asked, staring at her fanning the fire.
"I didn't do it exactly according to what he said and wrote. He also said it himself. Maybe he missed one or two medicinal ingredients. Anyway, I did it according to my ideas, but it still failed. This is really strange. In the end,
What's the mistake?" Yun Xi explained.
"Take a rest, you have been working for a few hours. Sit down and drink a glass of water." Huan poured a glass of water for her.
"If you feel bored, just go out. Leave me alone. I will continue." Yun Xi's obsession with refining medicine is unparalleled. Once he starts refining, he will finish it until the end.
Huan had never seen such a serious side of her, and her heroic appearance deeply attracted him.
"Ahem, if you don't want to drink, I'll drink it myself. If you're tired, you can sit over here and I'll massage it for you." Huan deliberately patted his thigh and continued to seduce her.
Yun Xi treated him as if he were transparent and devoted himself to refining the medicine.
Huang Guiyuan walked to their room door, heard their conversation, and had no intention of going in.
He didn't know why he came here. After that day, he should have asked someone to catch them, but he didn't do that. He also arranged for them to use this room with medicinal materials.
At first he wondered if he was possessed by evil spirits, and thought that Xian Ni's soul was possessing Yun Xi, so he would be completely obedient to her.
However, later he gradually discovered that he had an inexplicable feeling towards Yun Xi. He once thought that this feeling was just because he missed Xian Ni too deeply, which would lead to misunderstandings in his thoughts. However, these days,
He couldn't see Yun Xi's figure, so he knew in his heart that he wanted to see her.
That's why I came here unknowingly, but didn't want to go in.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" sound inside. The furnace for refining medicine had been overused due to high temperature, and it suddenly exploded when it reached its limit.
Huan used the table to protect Yunxi in time to prevent her from being hit by the flying furnace debris. The furnace debris not only flew around, but the most outrageous thing was that it flew outside the door, penetrated the door, and hit her directly.
Huang Guiyuan's head.
"ah!"
With a scream, Huang Guiyuan covered his head and fell to the ground.
Upon hearing the sound, Yunxi and Huan both came out to take a look.
Huang Guiyuan's head was bruised and bleeding. Should he be called unlucky, it would be better to call him embarrassed. His appearance at this time caused Yun Xi to burst into laughter.
In Huang Guiyuan's eyes, there was nothing similar about this woman except that her eyes looked a bit like a naughty girl. But he had an indescribable feeling towards her, just like being laughed at by her now, he didn't feel angry at all.
"What's going on, you're still laughing?" Huan pushed Yunxi lightly.
Yun Xi smiled enough and said, "Your Majesty, why are you so unlucky? Go in and bandage it for you."
"Your Majesty, please get up." Huan pretended to be respectful and helped Huang Guiyuan up.
The medicine stove had just finished blowing up, and the room was filled with smoke and chaos.
"It's too dirty here. Go back to my room and bandage it up." Huang Guiyuan faced Yunxi and said with an order.
Yun Xi glanced at Huang Guiyuan before saying, "Okay, anyway, I have some questions that I need to ask your Majesty."
Huang Guiyuan only approved Yunxi to follow, while Huan wanted to stay outside the door.
