A few days later, Jiang Qingyu's shops were all opened, and the clinic, pharmacy, gouache shop, cloth shop and clothing store were all officially in operation.

We were able to open the business so quickly, all thanks to the palace steward.

When Butler Li was reporting to Jiang Qingyu about all the affairs of the palace, he heard her and Ran Yang talking about choosing a shop and saw that she had a headache.

He immediately mentioned that there were several shops for rent in the palace. The next day, he paid the money, took the shops back, and gave them to Jiang Qingyu.

Most of the workers inside were old people who were brought in from Jiangnan, and they were very good at their work. Basically, there was no need for Jiang Qingyu, so she still saw patients a few days a week, just like when she was in Jiangnan.

Her several shops were all located in the most prosperous areas of Beijing. In addition, the things she sold were very novel, so they were packed as soon as they opened.

Today was her turn to rest at home, and Ran Yang brought over the account books for the past few days.

"Princess, these two books are from the medical clinic, this one is from the cloth shop, and this one is from the gouache shop. I've read them once and basically have no problems."

After only five or six days of opening, the account books were piled up.

Jiang Qingyu was very confident in Ran Yang's work, since she had trained him personally, so she only needed to go through it once.

"Well, put it here and look at it later."

Jiang Qingyu was adding new clothing designs to the cloth shop without even raising her head. Ran Yang stood beside her and served her tea and water.

A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Qingyu stopped, twisted his neck and stretched.

"Is there any news outside these days?"

Although there are backbones in the shop and there is nothing for her to worry about, as the boss, she is still very busy.

"News? What news?"

Princess, what news do you want to know?

Do you want to ask about the news of the emperor's grandson?"

Ran Yang asked back with a smirk on his face, pretending not to understand.

The day after Xiao Jingyu left, the emperor finished dealing with the busy state affairs. When he heard about Jiang Qingyu opening a shop, he ordered Jiang Zhuoran to be summoned into the palace.

At the same time, he asked the Imperial Observatory to give him a new name according to his birth date, Xiao Muyan.

Since Xiao Jingyu, the father, was not there, there was no ancestor recognition ceremony. The name was simply added to the family tree, and the ceremony would only be held after Xiao Jingyu returned.

The sudden appearance of such a big son by Xiao Jingyu scared all the ministers in the court, and the most angry among them were the Queen's faction.

When the Queen saw Xiao Muyan's face that looked exactly like Xiao Jingyu's, she was so angry that her teeth were about to break, but she could only smile and give him a gift.

"I'm not worried about that child. With His Majesty in the palace, who can bully him? It's good that he doesn't bully others."

Upon hearing this, Ran Yang was unhappy.

"Princess, our prince has been sensible and loving since he was young. He would feed the kittens and puppies he sees. How could he bully others?"

She had watched her son grow up, and she couldn't bear to hear anyone say bad things about him, even if it was her master.

"Okay, okay, your son is the best.

Well, now you can tell me.”

Jiang Qingyu was very happy that her son was loved by so many people but not spoiled.

Hearing Jiang Qingyu asking again, Ran Yang cleared his throat.

"Well, Princess, you want to ask about the news about the prince, right?"

Seeing that his thoughts were revealed, Jiang Qingyu retorted.

"Who wants to know about him? I just want to see if I can help. In the end, the people are the ones who suffer in the war."

“Don’t worry, Princess. I just received news yesterday that the enemies have become much quieter since the prince arrived at the border.

They just harass him from time to time, and it seems that the other party knows the prince's way of using troops very well.

However, our prince is the god of war, and we will definitely win in the end."

After listening to Ran Yang's description, Jiang Qingyu was not as optimistic as Ran Yang, and felt a little worried.

Is this what it means when love comes with concern?

"Ran Yang, ask the butler to get some silver notes to buy some food, and ask the escort agency to send it to the border to distribute to the people there."

"Okay, I'll take note of this."

After Ran Yang left, Jiang Qingyu found a lot of things to do.

Only when people are busy will they stop having random thoughts.

On this day, Jiang Qingyu was seeing patients in the clinic when she was interrupted by Ran Yang who came running in hurriedly. Jiang Qingyu had just finished seeing a patient.

"You look flustered, what's wrong?

Your butt is on fire?

Or did your He Yan run away with someone?"

Seeing Ran Yang panting, Jiang Qingyu couldn't help but tease him.

"Princess, there is news from the border..."

"Well, tell me."

Seeing Ran Yang's hesitation, Jiang Qingyu, who was originally relaxed, had a bad premonition in her heart and said anxiously.

"Say it!"

“Princess, I told you not to worry.

There was news that the enemy somehow found out where the prince and his men's military rations were a few days ago, and launched a surprise attack at night, burning all the rations.

Later, when the army ran out of rations, the prince had no choice but to take a group of people to a small country with which we had good relations to buy food.

Everything was fine at first. The prince even sent a message to the military camp saying that he would be back in half a day. However, two days passed and the prince and his men still hadn't returned.

His whereabouts are still unknown!"

“Missing?

Where is Lingxing?

He has always been inseparable from the prince, where is he this time?"

After hearing Ran Yang's words, Jiang Qingyu's heart suddenly became nervous and her voice unconsciously became louder.

"Lingxing didn't follow us in the military camp. He is looking for her day and night now."

"Does your majesty know this news?"

"Yes, I understand. I heard from the palace that His Majesty has already recruited all the civil and military officials into the palace.

However, I heard that there were two factions in the court. One faction advocated sending troops to support immediately, while the other faction believed that His Royal Highness the King of Qi was the god of war of Qi and could not even defeat him. Sending more people would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths.

Your Majesty was so angry with them that he even called in the imperial physician, but no one has dared to step forward and lead the troops."

Jiang Qingyu felt angry about this. With a powerful enemy at the doorstep, they were trying to defeat the enemy without fighting. With the people at the top and the people not united, the country would sooner or later fall apart.

"Fourth Prince, what is the reaction of Fifth Prince?"

“Your Highness, you also know that he has never had a say in the court. He wants to go, but others won’t let him.

As for the Fifth Prince, he seems to have been locked up by the Queen. Those who do not support sending troops are all on the Queen's side."

At this point, Jiang Qingyu finally understood that the Queen's faction has always had great power in the court, and now they are happy to see Xiao Jingyu suffer losses.

If Xiao Jingyu could be eliminated in one fell swoop, the throne would definitely belong to Xiao Jingyi.

Jiang Qingyu didn't care about anything else. After explaining something to Wen Guanzhong, she left the clinic, took the golden medal of immunity from death that the queen had given her, and fought her way to the Golden Palace.
