"Of course! General Wanyan is brave and heroic, and is also proficient in medicine and martial arts. He is admired by people all over the world."

Du Qingwan did not hide it, but she didn't say it too bluntly either.

She has a special status now, so she still needs to be careful with some of her words.

Soon, she changed the subject and said with a smile:

"However, his little tricks may only be suitable for fooling you little girls. He is still a little naive to fool me, Du Qingwan. Haha..."

Yun Luo heard this and nodded, not quite understanding, and then said:

"I heard that my mother is a woman of letters who can bring peace to the world with her writing and a woman of martial arts who can decide the fate of the world on horseback. I really admire her.

General Wanyan is naturally no match for you. It’s just…”

As he was talking, Yunluo stopped talking again, looking a little embarrassed.

Du Qingwan had just been praised by Yun Luo and was secretly happy.

Seeing Yun Luo's hesitation to speak, he was also stunned and asked in confusion:

"Just what?"

"It's just that Yunluo will soon go to Loulan to marry a princess, and will have to stay in that wild land for the rest of her life. She doesn't dare to admire General Wanyan casually."

At the end of his speech, Yunluo couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then turned around and left Renshou Palace silently.

Her thin figure looked somewhat lonely, for unknown reasons.

Seeing this, Du Qingwan did not try to keep her, but just silently watched her leave.

One month later, Qian'an Palace

"Asshole! Is the national treasury so empty now? How dare you give these few cakes to Concubine Rou?"

"Have you been too bold recently? Have you ignored my words?"

Before Du Qingwan entered the hall, she heard Zhu Yunhao's angry scolding from a distance, accompanied by the sound of bowls and dishes falling to the ground.

Without thinking, Du Qingwan knew that it must be because Du Zhirou couldn't bear hardship and came to complain to Zhu Yunhao about her poor food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Ever since she heard Yun Luo say that the quality of meals in all palaces had generally declined, Du Qingwan no longer expected to get any delicious meals from the imperial kitchen.

If she hadn't kept a trick up her sleeve and secretly treated people in the palace and earned a lot of money, her life would probably be worse than Du Zhirou's.

After all, although Du Zhirou was just a concubine, she relied on Zhu Yunhao's favor to her. She could not call the shots in the palace, but it was easy for her to get some delicious meals.

"Your Majesty, please calm down! The national treasury has been seriously empty recently. The imperial kitchen has no money to purchase supplies. The food in each palace has generally declined. This is not just the case with Concubine Rou..."

Eunuch Liu was scolded for a long time and felt really aggrieved.

He was well aware that even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

Right now, all the palaces have strong opinions, but he really has no choice but to endure the scolding every day.

"If the treasury is out of money, then find a way to get some! Otherwise, what's the point of me supporting you? Go now!"

Zhu Yunhao lost his last bit of patience and threw a teacup directly at Eunuch Liu, his gloomy face filled with deep anger.

The reason why he was so angry today was not because the dessert Du Zhirou wanted was too perfunctory, but because his diet had been lacking in meat and vegetables recently, and he was not even full.

If this continues, it will not be long before he, the king of a country, starves to death.

"But the emperor..."

Eunuch Liu looked embarrassed and was about to explain.

But Zhu Yunhao didn't give him this opportunity at all. He interrupted him immediately and said fiercely:

"But what? Could it be that the entire Daye can't think of any way to fill the national treasury?

Do you want me, the ruler of a country, to starve to death?"

Zhu Yunhao's tone was very cold and he kept talking about starving to death. It seemed that he cared more about the poor diet than Du Zhirou.

Du Zhirou's original purpose in making a fuss was just to get Zhu Yunhao to order the imperial kitchen to improve the food.

Who would have thought that Zhu Yunhao would be so furious that he even forced Eunuch Liu to be at a loss and feel extremely terrified.

"Your Majesty, how about forgetting it? I will not eat desserts anymore. Please don't embarrass Eunuch Liu anymore."

Du Zhirou gently held Zhu Yunhao's arm and tried hard to force a smile, but she felt extremely aggrieved in her heart.

Recently, she heard that there was always endless meat in Renshou Palace. Du Zhirou thought it was a special reward from Zhu Yunhao to Du Qingwan.

I came here to investigate today and found out that this is not the case.

She also had a question in her mind---

When the national treasury was empty, even Zhu Yunhao almost had no food to eat. How did Du Qingwan manage to live a luxurious life in the palace?

"How can that be? You are my beloved concubine, how can I treat you badly?"

Zhu Yunhao gently patted the back of Du Zhirou's tender and fair hand. The smile on his face gradually froze and his expression became extremely embarrassed.

Du Zhirou pursed her lips and chuckled, and suddenly felt a little more comforted.

"Your Majesty, you are so kind to me. It seems that I have misunderstood you..."

During this special period, Du Qingwan lived a very comfortable life, but Du Zhirou was extremely unwilling to accept this.

I was thinking: [That little bitch Du Qingwan, she must have done something bad to have the money to live a luxurious life.]

[If I give her up and have the Emperor conduct a thorough investigation of the Renshou Palace, he might be able to find a few stacks of banknotes!]

[By then, won’t the private money that Du Qingwan has hidden belong to me, Du Zhirou?]

"What's the misunderstanding?"

What Du Zhirou never expected was that before she finished her words, Zhu Yunhao took advantage of the situation and started asking more questions.

He stared at Du Zhirou intently, with confusion between his brows and suspicion in his heart.

"I heard that my sister has a good life every day. I don't know where she gets the money from."

Du Zhirou looked at Zhu Yunhao timidly, her heart beating wildly as if it was about to burst.

She couldn't wait to get Du Qingwan's private money.

But he was also worried that the money was a reward from Zhu Yunhao to Du Qingwan.

The conflict continued in tension and could even completely sink her.

"Really? There is such a thing?"

Zhu Yunhao couldn't believe it and looked at Du Zhirou in confusion.

Hearing this, before Du Zhirou could speak, Eunuch Liu on the side said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, I have also heard about this, it is true.

However, the news I got is that the Empress treats patients in the palace and all the money she earns is from the fees she pays for her treatments."

I don't know what was wrong with Eunuch Liu, he actually cleared Du Qingwan for the first time.

In fact, as early as Du Zhirou mentioned this matter, Eunuch Liu had already anticipated that Du Zhirou wanted to frame Du Qingwan.

Ever since Du Qingwan entered the palace, Eunuch Liu has had no good feelings towards her, and even feels a little disgusted with her.

But after so many things happened, Eunuch Liu unconsciously changed his opinion of her.

Many times, he thought Du Qingwan was quite reliable.

At least, she was not as difficult to serve as Du Zhirou said.

In the eyes of Eunuch Liu, Du Qingwan is completely innocent and kind-hearted, so innocent that even ghosts would fear her.

"Oh? Is that true? Concubine Rou, what else do you know? Why don't you tell me everything?"

Obviously, Zhu Yunhao didn't quite believe what Eunuch Liu said.

It was probably because Eunuch Liu had always been extremely disgusted with Du Qingwan, and when he suddenly spoke well of her, Zhu Yunhao became suspicious.
