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

Old Xiang was very calm and allowed Shen Yunjin to look at him.

Next, Shen Yunjin asked a few questions about business.

Lao Xiang always pondered for a moment before answering.

He knows when to advance and when to retreat, is calm and thoughtful, and is exactly the person Shen Yunjin wants.

"Lao Xiang, go to the human traffickers and buy some maids and women."

"By the way, let's see if there's any land or shops for sale."

Shen Yunjin gave the instructions very efficiently.

"Princess, I want to ask, what do these maids do? How many people are needed?"

“What are the requirements for land and shops?”

"It's mainly for cooking in the kitchen, and some for rough labor. About ten people will be enough."

"It would be best if I could buy a piece of land that is connected in a row. If I want a shop, it should be in a good location, regardless of size."

The palace is now mainly in need of old women and maids such as those who can do laundry and cleaning.

If the land is connected into one piece, it will be easier to take care of and manage.

Lao Xiang understood as soon as he heard it. He took the banknote from Cui Liu and walked out.

Yang Liu passed by Lao Xiang who was just going out.

She looked at Lao Xiang strangely. It was a strange face.

"Princess, why do I see so many unfamiliar faces in the mansion?"

Yang Liu asked quietly.

"Those are the prince's secret guards."

Yang Liu suddenly realized that the feeling given to her by Lao Xiang just now was different from ordinary people.

"Yang Liu, what did you gain from going out?"

Cui Liu teased when she saw Yang Liu coming back empty-handed.

“I found a way to make a fortune.”

Yang Liu's mysterious words attracted the attention of Shen Yunjin and Cui Liu.

"Tell me about it." Shen Yunjin became interested.

"There are many mountains here, and there used to be many bandits."

"Didn't the shopkeeper say that yesterday?"

Cui Liu looked as if she had known this for a long time.

"Yes, didn't many people become good people later?"

"Of course, there are still some who continue to be bandits, and they still come out from time to time to harm the people."

"What does that have to do with making money?"

"I saw a notice in the government office."

"It says on it that if you can catch the bandits, you will be rewarded 100 taels each."

"One hundred taels? So valuable?" Cui Liu widened her eyes.

"What if someone uses other people to make up the numbers?"

"No, because the gangsters' faces are all on the list."

"You are a girl, you don't want to go deep into the bandit's den to arrest people, do you?"

Shen Yunjin frowned.

Yang Liu smiled embarrassedly.

"I was thinking, didn't the prince bring so many secret guards?"

"Since we have nothing else to do, it's okay to catch one or two bandits, right?"

"One hundred taels for one gangster, two for two."

Shen Yunjin shook his head.

They had just arrived here and didn't know the situation in Shu.

If they rashly exposed the King of Qi's secret guards, who knows what kind of danger would be waiting for them.

A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, so it is better to keep a low profile.

As soon as Yang Liu saw Shen Yunjin shaking his head, she knew it wouldn't work.

She was a little crestfallen.

"The other one that I had my eyes on doesn't seem to work either."

"Then tell me, I want to hear it."

Shen Yunjin put down the account book in his hand.

"I heard from an old hunter that in the county governed by King Rui, because of a ferocious beast injuring people, the government offered a reward of 300 taels of silver to experienced hunters to hunt down the ferocious beasts."

Yang Liu covered her mouth and lowered her voice.

"I heard that King Rui offered another 1,000 taels of silver. Whoever can catch the beast will get the 1,000 taels!"

"One thousand taels!" Cui Liu couldn't help but exclaimed.

Shen Yunjin pondered for a while.

"Yang Liu, wait for the prince to come back and ask him what he says."

"Yes!"

Yang Liu was very excited. Since Shen Yunjin said so, it meant that he thought it was feasible.

King Qi Xiao Minshen was busy until dinner time before returning home.

Shen Yunjin felt distressed when she saw Xiao Minshen, who was exhausted.

She thought that Xiao Minshen had arrived at his own fiefdom and was here to enjoy himself.

I didn't expect that Xiao Minshen would be so tired.

"It's okay, this is just the beginning, it will be fine once it's sorted out later."

Xiao Minshen saw Shen Yunjin's worried expression and comforted her.

Dinner is just a very ordinary light meal.

Millet porridge, minced chicken and tofu, garlic side dishes, stir-fried pork, and shredded pork with fish flavor.

After dinner, Yang Liu served tea.

She stood aside, looking at Shen Yunjin with expectant eyes.

Xiao Minshen lowered his eyes and skimmed the tea foam.

Shen Yunjin laughed inwardly when he saw Yang Liu wanting to ask something but not daring to.

"Your Majesty, Yang Liu heard from the old hunter that King Rui offered one thousand taels of silver to have someone go up the mountain to catch wild animals."

Xiao Minshen nodded. He had also heard about it today.

Today, the hunters on their side have formed a team and are preparing to go out and catch wild animals.

"Wait a minute, King Rui has offered one thousand taels, and all the hunters in the surrounding area have rushed over."

"If they can catch him, we won't go to join in the fun. There are too many people, and we won't get much money."

"But if they can't catch them, I estimate that the reward will be a little higher."

Over the years, Prince Rui and Princess Rui have made a fortune thanks to the Crown Prince and her natal family.

If the wild beasts are not eliminated, they will not be able to sleep or eat in peace.

At that time, more silver will definitely be offered as a reward.

When Yang Liu heard that she couldn't join in the fun, she retreated dejectedly.

Xiao Minshen actually laughed.

After Yang Liu followed Shen Yunjin, her personality became more and more erratic.

"Xiao Minxuan has proclaimed himself king."

Shen Yunjin, who was making the bed, was stunned.

"Your Majesty's permission?"

"Of course he wouldn't allow it. He has already issued an order for the Royal Guards to go out and strangle Xiao Minxuan."

Then, Xiao Minshen told Shen Yunjin what happened in the palace.

"My Lord, who poisoned me?"

"Lin Jieyu said that she only gave people drugs that make people unconscious, and Xiao Dezi did not give them."

"But when the talented person tasted it, she was indeed poisoned. Could it be that Concubine De poisoned her?"

There was an obscure light in Xiao Minshen's eyes.

Shen Yunjin was a little shocked.

In her impression, Concubine De seemed to be a person who did not seek to compete with the world.

I didn't expect that there would be such a method.

You know, that's poison. If one doesn't control it well, the person will die.

"No one in the palace is a good person."

Xiao Minshen walked over and hugged Shen Yunjin's waist.

After giving birth, Shen Yunjin did not take good care of herself and lost a lot of weight.

Xiao Minshen held the waist under his hands, which seemed like it could be broken by a single slap, and felt heartbroken.

If he had not been born into a royal family, Shen Yunjin would not have suffered so much with him.

To be honest, Shen Yunjin was implicated by him.

Shen Yunjin saw Xiao Minshen holding her for a long time without saying anything and thought he was tired.

"If, one day, I have to fight for that position in order to protect myself, are you afraid?"
