After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"Yang Liu, from now on, you cannot leave your master's side, do you understand?"

Xiao Minshen spoke to Yang Liu in the same stern tone.

"Yes." Yang Liu answered firmly.

Based on his understanding of Xiao Minshen over the years, Shen Yunjin knew that something big must have happened.

She asked this question when everyone had left and they were alone.

"My Lord, what happened?"

Xiao Minshen tapped his fingers on the table out of habit.

"Mo Yi found out that Anyang had met Princess Gao Li privately."

"Then the second brother lost his eldest son, and then his second son."

"I heard that the princess was ill and went to the Big Buddha Temple to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures."

"And now, Princess Gaoli is pregnant."

Xiao Minshen suspected that Anyang and Gao Li were planning something together.

The second prince's two sons, one died of drowning, and the other died of being possessed by evil spirits. The story is not as simple as it seems.

"Second Prince, do you still not know that Princess Gaoli and Princess Anyang have a private connection?" Shen Yunjin was curious.

"Maybe even if he knew, he wouldn't care."

The second prince, Xiao Minchen, is a conceited man. In his eyes, women only fight over trivial matters in the backyard of the inner house.

As long as it's harmless, it's all fun.

As for women, no matter whether they were princesses or princesses in the past, once they get married, they must follow their husbands and rely on men to live.

What he didn't know was that women would use endless means to win favor.

It is no less than the open and secret attacks in the court.

Since the emperor's birthday, Xiao Minxuan has been kept in the capital.

Although the emperor had no intention of promoting him again, everyone knew that the queen had arranged servants for the prince's mansion.

All these signs indicate that the emperor wants Xiao Minxuan to return to the capital.

The former prince's party has been divided into several groups to visit.

On the surface, Xiao Minxuan closed the door to visitors.

However, the guards sent by Mo Yi to monitor the Prince's Mansion said that Xiao Minxuan met with several military ministers in private.

If Xiao Minxuan were to come back, the first person he would want to deal with would definitely be the second prince.

Now, first the imperial concubine’s family was raided, and then the imperial concubine was demoted.

Then, the second prince's two sons died one after another.

All of this, no matter how you look at it, seems like a chain of schemes.

Doesn’t Princess Gao Li realize that Anyang is just using her?

Xiao Minshen felt that that shouldn't be the case, Princess Gao Li must have a bigger plan.

However, no matter how they fight for that position, Xiao Minshen is prepared to sit back and do nothing.

Two dogs fight, play off.

He couldn't guess for the time being how Xiao Minxuan and Anyang would deal with the Prince Qi's Mansion, but he would turn the Prince Qi's Mansion into an extremely hard iron barrel so that the enemy could not break in.

"I asked Mo Yi to make some adjustments to the guards in the palace."

Currently, all expenses of the palace are managed by Shen Yunjin.

Shen Yunjin naturally knew that there were many more guards in the mansion, and the monthly wages paid out were twice as much as before.

"I'll ask Mo Yi to give you the monthly salary later."

"Your Highness, are you worried that I can't afford it?" Shen Yunjin teased mischievously.

Xiao Minshen raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Mo Yi and his friends made a fortune, enough to support them."

How huge a windfall would that be?

Seeing Shen Yunjin's eyes sparkling when he heard the word money, Xiao Minshen's smile grew bigger and bigger.

"Do you remember the deep mountain with the ferocious beasts that Yang Liu mentioned before?"

Shen Yunjin nodded and said, of course I remember.

That time, Yang Liu went in and brought back a ginseng, which was just right for her when she gave birth to the little tiger.

"I asked Mo Yi and his men to go in under the pretext of hunting."

Mo Yi led three teams of people in as Xiao Minshen instructed.

The teams were divided into three teams by drawing lots, and each team elected a captain.

The team that kills more prey and sells it for more silver wins.

The duration is five days.

During these five days, everyone was self-sufficient in terms of food, clothing and other necessities.

In other words, if you want to survive in the mountains, you have to rely on your own abilities.

If anyone wants to give up halfway, just pull the flare on your waist and someone will come to rescue you.

Because it is a temporary team, the captain is not only responsible for coordinating the relationships among teammates, but also has to lead the team members to survive in the mountains.

Of course, the captain can also give up, and the team members can re-elect the captain.

There are many edible things in the mountains, but dangers are also everywhere.

At this time, everyone needs to unite and cooperate in order to not only survive in the shortest time, but also hunt valuable prey and achieve victory.

In the past few months, Mo Yi has led several groups of people up there.

All of Xiao Minshen's private soldiers were rotated, except for the ones who went to the mine.

Mo Yi sold all the prey he hunted to merchants in Beijing and made a lot of money.

Because Yang Liu had dug up ginseng before, Mo Yi also included medicinal herbs in the competition items later on.

Among the soldiers participating in the competition, there are actually some who know about medicinal herbs.

So, some people specialize in setting traps for hunting, while others specialize in digging medicinal herbs.

In the end, Mo Yi and his friends accumulated a large sum of money.

Now, by selecting the best people who stayed, Xiao Minshen arranged them to work as guards of Prince Qi's Palace.

"Wouldn't it be a waste of their talents to have them serve as guards?"

After listening to this, Shen Yunjin felt that this group of people must be rare talents.

"Don't worry, the remaining people will continue to train in the mountains and continue to hone their skills."

"Unless they are truly unqualified, I will arrange for them to do other things."

"Since Mo Yi and his men are rich, I will not be polite."

Shen Yunjin blinked mischievously.

The private soldiers that Xiao Minshen raised must be put in the open so as not to be noticed by those with ulterior motives.

Ever since the last time this street was besieged by thieves, several royal noble families in the surrounding area have all hired guards to protect their mansions.

Now, adding population to the Qi Wang Mansion will not only not be criticized, but on the contrary it is more reasonable.

"When I came back, I heard you talking about my eldest aunt."

"Well, my eldest brother-in-law asked for a divorce, but my eldest sister disagreed."

Shen Yunjin recounted what happened between Shen Yunchu and Zhao Jingyan.

"Princess Gaoyang has recently kept a lover." Xiao Minshen raised his eyebrows.

Huh? Shen Yunjin's eyes widened.

In the previous life, weren’t Princess Gaoyang and Zhao Jingyan in love with each other?

How come there is a third party in this life?

"You should have heard of that lover." Xiao Minshen looked at Shen Yunjin with his peach blossom eyes slanted.

Someone she knew?

How can it be?

In the previous life, this person did not exist at all.
