Ye Qing half-squinted his eyes, looking extremely tired, while Huang Sisi's face was full of spring breeze, with pink blush on her cheeks, making her look particularly attractive.
But Ye Qing could not use his spiritual power now, and his body was finally unable to bear it.
Besides, after returning to the Qingfeng Empire after a long absence, Ye Qing still had too many people to meet and too many things to deal with. He couldn't waste his good time in bed.
After hugging Huang Sisi to sleep, Ye Qing stood up gently, asked Shi Huaiyu, and set off for the imperial palace.
It is said that today is different from the past. In the past, when Qin Li was in power, Ye Qing did not have such great dignity and could enter the palace without notification.
But it was different now. When the defenders outside the palace saw Ye Qing, they seemed happier than meeting his biological father. With a flattering tone, they respectfully sent Ye Qing to the Frost and Snow Palace.
Since Qin Mengxue came to power, he has always lived in Frost Snow Palace instead of Ganlu Palace.
There is no other way, Qin Li is still alive today, and is respected as the Supreme Emperor by Qin Mengxue. He spends his days making noises and playing songs day and night.
It is said that during the time when Ye Qing left the imperial capital, Qin Li gave birth to three more descendants of the old Qin family. Although they were not born yet, it was enough to show how high Qin Li's seeding rate was.
"Your dad is so old, he's not worried about his body being overwhelmed."
In the Frost and Snow Palace, Ye Qing was lying on Qin Mengxue's soft jade legs, with an extremely lazy posture, which made Qin Mengxue very dissatisfied.
"Look around, who else would dare to be so rude to me besides you? I finally came back, but nothing is right.
Besides, what you say about your father is so unpleasant! That is the Supreme Emperor of the Qingfeng Empire, your father-in-law!"
Qin Mengxue rolled her eyes at Ye Qing, but patiently peeled the fruit and stuffed it into Ye Qing's mouth.
"Easy, gentle! Are you going to choke someone to death?"
"You jumped on it! If you go out, I don't want to see you anymore!"
"Then I really leave? If I leave, I won't come back."
Ye Qing sat up straight, with a playful smile in his eyes, which caused Qin Mengxue to hammer hard.
"Isn't it a slap in the face? You know how to bully me!"
Qin Mengxue snorted coldly, stretched out her arm and pushed Ye Qing, saying: "You go! If you leave, you will never enter the palace again in this life!"
"Wrong, please spare me this time!"
Ye Qing decisively gave in and said a lot of soft words to coax Qin Mengxue.
"Speaking of which, my coming back this time is a surprise, but it's okay. There are some things I want to tell you so that you can prepare in advance."
"what happened?"
"a lot of..."
Since leaving the imperial capital, Ye Qing told Qin Mengxue what he had seen and heard during this period, as well as the problems and troubles he would encounter. When it came to the moment of life and death, Qin Mengxue's eyes became red and she held Ye Qing's hand hard.
Hands, when talking about happiness and relaxation, Qin Mengxue also raised the corners of her mouth and laughed regardless of her manners.
Looking at the woman in front of him, the most noble woman in the Qingfeng Empire, every look on her face was attributed to him. Ye Qing suddenly realized that he was probably lucky enough to meet Qin Mengxue in Nanyang City.
"In short, the Qingfeng Empire must strengthen its national power at the moment, at all costs, otherwise when the upper realm's plan is fully launched, the Qingfeng Empire will become a lamb without the ability to resist and can only be slaughtered by others!"
"I understand."
Qin Mengxue nodded thoughtfully. She had no doubts about Ye Qing, but how to implement these policies was the key.
After all, in recent years, the Qingfeng Empire has been fighting for years, and the people of the government and the public have been miserable. After Qin Mengxue came to power, he has been implementing a policy of light corvee and low taxes, in order to give the people a time to recuperate. If it is suddenly announced now that there will be forced recruitment and training of the army,
, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among many people...
"Ye Qing, this thing sounds simple to say, but to do it... I'm afraid it might be a bit troublesome."
"It's okay, don't worry about this moment, just take your time. Also, has the Qin family discovered anything recently?"
"Don't tell me, it really is."
When Qin Mengxue said this, her expression changed instantly, she showed the domineering attitude that an empress should have, and sneered: "A few days ago, the secret child left by my father to me discovered a courtyard of the Qin family, hidden in the market.
Anzi sneaked in to investigate, what do you think he found?"
"Don't tell me you found the hoarded food?"
"You're right. Counting three warehouses and two cellars, the Qin family's grain storage totals 80,000 shi! This grain is enough to feed an army of 100,000 people for half a year! There are also swords, weapons, and armor.
My heart is clearly revealed!"
When this matter was mentioned, Qin Mengxue became extremely angry. She had already planned to use this matter to completely bring down the Qin family, so that the Qingfeng Empire would no longer have internal troubles, so that she would have time to resist external troubles.
But on the second day after the incident, when Qin Mengxue was about to order the Qin Mansion to be confiscated, the right servant She Tian Kang took over the matter and insisted that the courtyard was under his name, including the food, weapons and equipment in the courtyard.
Armor.
This is obviously the scapegoat found by the Qin family!
Shangshu Youpushe is a person who is inferior to one person in the court but more than ten thousand people. It can be said that since the death of Zuopushe, all matters in the court, big and small, have to go through the hands of Youpushe without exception. In addition, Qin Mengxue has a strong influence on the court.
You Pushe still trusted him, so he gave him many rights.
If you already have such favor, why would you want to rebel? Of course Qin Mengxue didn’t believe it!
But I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup the Qin family poured into Youpushe. No matter how Qin Mengxue tried to coerce and induce you, Youpushe always insisted that it was all his own fault and did not mention the Qin family at all, which made Qin Mengxue even more frustrated. In the end, in order to block Youyou
Everyone said that Qin Mengxue had no choice but to issue an imperial edict to remove the title of his right servant She and demote him to a commoner. He would be exiled to Lingnan for the rest of his life and would not be able to be employed. The men in the family were sent to the border to serve as soldiers, and the female relatives rushed into the church.
It sounds heartless, but Qin Mengxue is actually soft-hearted.
"The crimes of conspiracy and rebellion and deceiving the emperor alone are enough to kill him a hundred times. In the end, he ended up being exiled to Lingnan, which is an advantage for him."
"I know that Youpushe was framed, but I can't do anything about it. Ye Qing, am I very useless..."
Leaning in Ye Qing's arms, Qin Mengxue let out a long sigh of relief, and looked like she was crying, which made Ye Qing feel very distressed.
"You have done a very good job, but there are some people who are so heartless that if you don't give them some punishment, you really think you can kick them in!"
Ye Qing narrowed his eyes, and a plan came into being in his mind.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I took a good bath before coming here."
"You...what do you mean?"
Qin Mengxue stared at Ye Qing with a red face, as if she wanted to refuse but welcome him.
"What I mean is that your father is working hard for the expansion of the Qin family. How can you and I not follow the example of the Supreme Emperor and add fuel to the prosperity of the Qin family?"
