Ye Xue'e looked at Fang Chen in surprise. She had always liked poetry and articles, and could be said to have read a lot of books and memorized them.
But she had never heard of the poems Fang Chen had just recited.
It was just a casual remark, and it was as if the paper was full of energy.
Fang Chen smiled and said: "I just read it from the book. If I like it, I can copy it into a book and send it to you someday."
"Thank you so much, father-in-law. Hongxiu will go and get it..."
Ye Xue'e just opened her mouth, but hesitated. She sighed in her heart, took off the royal concubine's bracelet from her hand, and handed it to Fang Chen.
"This is a gift of thanks to my father-in-law. I hope my father-in-law will not refuse."
Fang Chen took a look and saw that the bracelet was covered with jasper and crystal clear. It looked like a priceless and extraordinary thing.
What a good master! He rewarded me with such a precious thing with just a few poor poems.
With a sigh in his heart, Fang Chen did not refuse: "Then I'd like to thank you, my queen."
At this time, the little eunuch came in from outside: "Your Majesty, sir, the cleaning inside and outside Lingqing Palace has been completed."
When Fang Chen heard this: "Well, Madam, I will take my leave now and come back to visit Madam in a few days."
"I'll see my father-in-law off." Ye Xue'e stood up and sent Fang Chen and others to the door.
The red-sleeved girl on the side asked in confusion: "My Lady, what did you do when you called your slave just now?"
Ye Xue'e said helplessly: "I originally wanted you to give the piece of jewelry that His Majesty rewarded to Eunuch Fang, but I just thought about it and let it go."
After all, Fang Chen is the Queen's personal eunuch. His Majesty's stay in Lingqing Palace these days has made him very jealous.
If she gave that jewelry to Fang Chen, the queen would even think that she was beginning to win over Fang Chen.
Ye Xue'e couldn't help but sigh as she thought about it, looking at the high wall outside the courtyard.
After entering this deep palace, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to be free again.
Here Fang Chen returned to the Internal Affairs Prison and looked at the imperial concubine bracelet on his hand, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Ye Xue'e was gentle to others, which was rare in this harem, but it was a pity that he had to kill her.
After putting away the bracelet, Qingluan came to the Internal Affairs Prison when Fang Chen was planning to kill Ye Xue'e.
"Eunuch Fang, your Majesty has summoned you."
Fang Chen did not dare to neglect and hurried to the royal study. When he saw Luo Ningxin, Fang Chen hesitated whether to tell him that the queen wanted to kill someone.
Just looking at Her Majesty's disgusting face, Fang Chen didn't open his mouth.
"I see your majesty, little man."
"Here we go, sit down."
Luo Ningxin said and raised her head.
"Special envoy Hu Yanzhuo of Xi Jin Dynasty has left the imperial capital. I heard Master Ye from Honglu Temple say that you negotiated a business deal with him?" Her Majesty the Empress said deliberately.
Fang Chen was smiling, still pretending?
He nodded and said: "It is indeed true, Your Majesty. The Xijin Empire wants to buy black gunpowder, so I asked him to buy it directly from our Great Yan Dynasty and sell it at a price of one hundred taels of silver per catty."
"However, Hu Yanzhuo did not agree immediately, saying that he would go back to discuss with the princes and ministers of the Western Jin Kingdom first."
“Do it well!”
Even though Luo Ningxin looked at Fang Chen to show her loyalty that day, she was not stingy at the moment.
He greatly praised Ibanfang Diaoji for his noble spirit of serving the country wholeheartedly.
"Has there been any movement at the Queen's place in the past two days?" Luo Ningxin asked.
Fang Chen thought for a while and finally told the truth.
Sure enough, I heard that Lu Caihuang wanted to kill Ye Xue'e.
Luo Ningxin was immediately furious, "What a bitch with a snake-like heart, so those concubines who died suddenly and inexplicably a few years ago were also her masterpieces!"
Qingluan on the side was also very angry: "Your Majesty, why don't we just mobilize the imperial army and kill her!"
Zhao Kang looked at Qingluan strangely, unable to imagine how this delicate maid could say such cruel words.
Luo Ningxin shook her head: "No, this woman's cultivation level is so high that even I can't see through it. In addition, if they attack for no reason, the Da Kang Dynasty will definitely not let it go. Da Yan can't withstand a big war now."
battle."
"Is it possible to let her do whatever she wants with one hand?" Qingluan frowned.
Luo Ningxin snorted coldly: "Of course this is impossible. This bitch killed the concubine just because she wanted me to spend the night at her place so that she could have an heir!"
As she said this, she glanced at Fang Chen, and a certain thought flashed through her mind, but she quickly suppressed it.
Now is not the time.
"Fang Chen, what are you going to do?" she asked.
Fang Chen hesitated for a moment and then said: "Now that the queen is eyeing the villain, the villain can only obey her wishes, but Ye Guiren is not bad at treating others."
"The villain can't make a decision for a while, so he doesn't know what to do."
Luo Ningxin closed her sleeves with her hands, pondered for a moment, and said: "Really speaking, this Ye Xue'e can be regarded as being implicated by me."
"Let's do this, Qingluan, you will leave the palace later and buy a house outside. Fang Chen, later I will ask someone to give you a medicine that can put people into a state of suspended animation. You try to make Ye Xue'e take it
Down."
Fang Chen's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty is telling her to put Ye Guiren into suspended animation and send her out of the palace?"
Luo Ningxin nodded: "Ye Xue'e doesn't want to stay in the palace anyway, so I can give her her freedom. I will cooperate with you here."
"Just do it with confidence and no one will blame you!"
After receiving Luo Ningxin's guarantee, Fang Chen was relieved. Her Majesty the Empress said: "In this way, the Queen will trust you even more. Fang Chen, please don't let me down!"
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, my love for Your Majesty can be revealed by the sun and the moon, and by heaven and earth!"
Fang Chen's touching and loyal speech made Her Majesty the Empress very satisfied, and then she asked.
"Your Majesty has summoned this villain, but what important matter do you have to explain?"
Luo Ning paused and said, "There is indeed something I want to ask your opinion about. This year's floods in the south are particularly serious, and food prices are rising. The annual tribute silver taels handed over by the Xijin Empire are being put into the treasury."
"Many ministers have asked me to release money to provide disaster relief. What do you think?"
When she went to court today, Her Majesty the Empress could be said to be holding back her anger. When the Xijin Empire did not come to pay the annual tribute some time ago, she was pressing down on the disaster situation in the south.
Now that they have money, everyone starts to rush to release money to save the people of Li.
They are afraid that others will not know their true inner thoughts.
Fang Chen thought for a while, then opened his mouth and said: "How much money will be released for disaster relief and will fall into the hands of ordinary people? After all, most of these people are thinking about how to make money from it."
Luo Ning nodded heartily: "Yes, you are thinking the same thing as me. But now that grain merchants everywhere are raising the price of grain, the people have no money to buy grain, so they can only starve to death. Do you think there is any way?
Solve this matter?"
Luo Ningxin didn't even realize that her actions were completely trying to get Fang Chen, a eunuch, to participate in politics.
