One touch and one silence

"Even if I am the prince, I have to sit cross-legged!"

Nanzhi’s words made Cuinong a little confused. Isn’t the prince a very powerful person?

How could you be afraid of the Zhuo family?

Xu Xueying pulled Cuinong to stop her from continuing.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I'm sorry to have caused trouble to His Majesty! Xueying is deeply sorry!"

Nanzhi looked at the woman who stood up and bowed to her, then waved her hand and asked her to sit down.

"I just acted in an emergency. I hope Sister Xueying won't blame me!"

"As for your father's intention, I can understand it!"

"I received a favor from you in the past, so I will help you with this small matter."

Yu Xueying's face turned red. Thinking of her father's shameless remarks, she immediately dared not look Nanzhi in the eye.

"Jiangnan looks good on the surface, but you saw it today. It's too dangerous for you two women to live outside alone."

"Before I came, I had someone move your luggage to the palace."

"During your time in Jiangnan, you will live in the palace. First, let this relationship become real. Second, let the Zhuo family be afraid and not dare to do anything to you."

Yu Xueying was grateful when she heard the prince's plan for her, and she also understood that this was the best thing.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Xueying is sorry for causing you trouble!" She knew that the favor the prince was talking about had already been repaid in the last incident with the Lu family.

She knew this clearly as the prince was only helping her now because he remembered the kindness she had shown him in the past.

Cuinong also understood at this time.

The carriage rumbled all the way back to the palace, where Nanny Qin and others were already waiting at the gate.

Nanzhi got off the carriage and asked Nanny Qin to take Yu Xueying to the guest room. Nanzhi returned to the study.

It wasn't until she sat in the chair in the study that she finally relaxed.

Nanzhi, who had witnessed the Zhuo Mansion with his own eyes, had a deeper impression of it.

She had no one on her side, so it was useless for her to know so many things, and she didn't dare to act rashly, which was really frustrating.

She suddenly thought of another person, who seemed to have also come to Jiangnan.

"Where are the people from the merchant? Send someone to protect them. She remembered that the guy's little daughter inherited all her father's looks."

Sanqi went out immediately after hearing the order.

Nanzhi touched his head and felt a headache. Everyone who came was weak and had families with them. It was really a headache.

We are short of manpower to begin with, and we still have to protect these people.

This cheap father is so stingy. If she wasn’t smart, she would have been eaten away by the muddy waters of Jiangnan until nothing was left.

I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t sleep well before and was too nervous, but now that I’ve rested, my head really starts to hurt.

Nanzhi covered her forehead with her hands, her face becoming a little ugly, "I have a headache. I'm going to go back to sleep. You can talk to me when I wake up."

After Nanzhi finished speaking, she walked out of the study and bumped into Yuan Wuqing at the door.

Nanzhi covered her head and left without even saying goodbye.

"Your Majesty..."

Yuan Wuqing looked at him in confusion, ignoring him as if he couldn't hear his cries, and walked away without mercy.

"this?"

"What happened, my lord?"

Yuan Wuqing was holding a thick stack of papers in his hand. He had been very busy recently and had read through all the files in Jiangnan.

He copied down all the problematic ones, and just finished reading them today. He was going to come and see the prince, but why did the prince turn around and leave when he saw him?

He remembered that he hadn't appeared in front of the prince recently? Could it be because of this?

Liu Yue looked at the papers in Yuan Wuqing's hand and frowned, "Are these the problematic files?"

Yuan Wuqing nodded.

"That's right. I have finished reading all the files in Jiangnan, so I came to see the prince."

Liu Yue reached out and took the thick stack of papers in his hand, and said softly, "Lord Yuan, you have worked hard, but the prince has a severe headache now. I will show it to the prince when he feels better." After Liu Yue finished speaking, he looked at the lost case written at the top, and something suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Oh! By the way, I need to trouble you with one more thing. Try to find the household registration of the Zhuo family before they came here, as well as how many people were born, died, and disappeared over the years, and how many were male and female. Sir Yuan, please count them up to now."

Since the master wants to drag it out, he will definitely want definite evidence by then.

The population size is the most difficult to falsify. If we start with the population, we will surely gain something.

The Zhuo family has committed so many evil deeds that Liu Yue doesn't know what His Majesty means.

Even after the matter of the gold mine was reported, His Majesty still did not say that he would give the prince some manpower to deal with the Zhuo family.

His Majesty?

What on earth is your majesty thinking?

Gold mines are the foundation of a country. Your Majesty, are you taking it too lightly, or do you have other arrangements?

Yuan Wuqing saw that Liu Yue seemed to have suddenly fallen into deep thought, so he stopped disturbing her and did what Liu Yue instructed.

When he thought about how he had just accomplished a great thing, something even greater was about to happen.

It really cost him his life.

This was completely different from what he had imagined at first.

It's still too hasty!

The summer weather is starting to get hot, making people feel restless.

Thousands of miles away in the imperial palace, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were busy making preparations for the reception.

The emperor held the message in his hand and remained silent.

That piece of news was what Nanzhi wrote to the emperor later, and it was about the Zhuo family's secret gold mining.

"Somebody come!"

At the emperor's command, a man in black appeared in front of him.

"His Majesty!"

"Have you received any news from Lei Yu and the others?"

The secret guard replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, not yet!"

The emperor waved his hand and asked everyone to retreat. There was no news. It seemed that the situation in the Dahan Dynasty was also rather tricky, otherwise there would not be no news until now.

"Someone, call Prince Yu!"

Prince Yu was currently in the palace trying to cheer up his wife, who had just been found out to be pregnant two months ago, and now he didn't even go to court.

What did the emperor want him to do at this time?

When Prince Yu arrived, the emperor asked everyone else in the imperial study to leave.

"Uncle Wang is here!"

"Your Majesty!" Prince Yu bowed respectfully to the emperor.

"Uncle Wang, you're welcome. I came to see you this time because I have an important matter that I want you to do!"

"I really don't know who to send now. The Prime Minister is already old, and I don't trust anyone else. I think it's still Uncle Wang, who can do things with more confidence."

After the emperor finished speaking, he handed the message in his hand to Prince Yu.

Prince Yu felt a little embarrassed by the emperor's praise.

"Your Majesty, what are you saying..." He was immediately shocked by the words on the paper.

"Gold mine?"

"A gold mine was discovered in the Daling Dynasty?"

King Yulin was delighted. What did this mean? It meant that the Daling Dynasty could continue for at least another two hundred years.
