Beichen Palace

"Your Majesty, this spy has been sent out for more than a month and there is no news from them. Could it be that they have been discovered by the Beixiao people?"

Prime Minister Beichen was a little worried as the spring ploughing season was approaching.

This spy has not yet brought the rumored high-yield grain back to Beichen.

Either Beixiao does not have the high-yield grain as rumored, and they lied to attract more people to Beixiao!

Or the two spies sent out were exposed and captured by Bei Xiao's men.

At the moment, there are only two possible explanations for why the spies have not returned yet...

Beichen Huang Shi Ting, who was sitting on the chair, narrowed his eyes slightly and leaned back slightly on the chair back.

After a long while, he spoke in a hoarse voice: "Wait a little longer. If they still have no news after three days, I will send someone to Beixiao to inquire!"

He didn't quite believe that the two spies would be caught. They must have been delayed by something on the way.

How could such a coincidence happen in the world? Could it be that everyone in Beixiao is a soldier?

Even if everyone is a soldier, there will always be people who are short-sighted or brainless.

If there really is such high-yield grain, wouldn't they be tempted if they were offered a large sum of money?

Emperor Beichen had great confidence in these two spies, so all they had to do was wait.

When Prime Minister Beichen heard his emperor say this, he sighed in his heart and dared not speak any more to persuade him.

"Your Majesty!"

A smile also appeared on Emperor Beichen's face. He stood up, walked to the Prime Minister and patted him gently on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, my dear. Even if Beixiao really has high-yield grain, they won't be able to achieve anything big in a short time! Think about it, my dear. We have heard about high-yield grain, but what about other countries? If Beixiao really has high-yield grain, will Emperor Dongcui and Emperor Daqian just sit there and wait for death?"

As everyone knows, Daqian and Beixiao are mortal enemies!

Emperor Daqian wanted to annex Beixiao every day, and the two countries would go to war from time to time.

And what about Emperor Dongcui? Will he allow Beixiao, which depends on Dongcui, to grow high-yield grain?

He will certainly find ways to get the grain seeds to Dongcui, and may even send troops to threaten Beixiao!

So, there is no need to rush!

Prime Minister Beichen lowered his head and thought for a moment. What the emperor said made sense.

But...if Daqian and Dongcui get there first, Beichen might not even get a sip of the broth!

If Dongcui succeeds, then Dongcui's national strength will surely take another step forward!

By then... Dongcui will be the only one in power! It will be easy for him to annex Nanyue or Beichen!

Emperor Dongcui is a very ambitious person, we have to be on guard against him...

Prime Minister Beichen raised his eyelids and carefully looked at the emperor's face.

He wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but when he saw the emperor's expression, he silently swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Never mind, he is old now anyway...

It is better to have less trouble than more. If you anger the emperor, it will be more trouble than gain.

He just wants to live a peaceful life until he grows old...

Prime Minister Beichen smiled an extremely flattering smile and said, "Your Majesty is wise, so let Emperor Daqian and Emperor Dongcui worry about it. We can just sit back and watch the fight!"

Seeing that the Prime Minister was so eloquent, the smile on Emperor Beichen's face deepened.

He laughed out loud: "My dear minister, you are absolutely right! Okay, I am tired, you can leave now!"

As soon as the prime minister walked out of the imperial study, the smile on Emperor Beichen's face suddenly disappeared completely.

He stared at Prime Minister Beichen's back with a cold gaze.

That look made him want to cut the prime minister into pieces!

After a long time, Emperor Beichen sneered and walked towards the harem.

"Go to Xingqing Palace!"

The young eunuchs behind him followed closely, and none of them dared to breathe loudly.

Every time the emperor finished discussing things with the prime minister, he would go to Xingqing Palace to see Concubine Jia...

It seems that although this woman is old and ugly, her position in the emperor's heart is really extraordinary...

It is no exaggeration to say that she is the emperor's favorite.

But what they couldn't understand was that Concubine Jia and the emperor were childhood sweethearts, and she was still only a concubine after entering the palace for decades.

Does the emperor not give a high position to anyone he likes?

Many ladies who entered the palace late have now become concubines or even noble concubines...

These young eunuchs couldn't figure it out.

The Sacred Heart is hard to predict...

At the gate of Xingqing Palace, Emperor Beichen paused and said coldly: "Wait here, no one is allowed to come in without my order!"

After saying that, he strode into Xingqing Palace.

In the side hall, a woman with a haggard face and gray hair was lying on a tattered little bed.

She was covered with a tattered blanket, which gave off a faint unpleasant smell.

Hearing footsteps, the person on the bed did not move.

If it weren't for the rise and fall of her chest proving she was still alive, one would have thought she was dead in bed.

When Emperor Beichen came in and saw this scene, he frowned slightly and wanted to sit on the chair.

But I saw that the table and chairs were covered with dust, and there was a bowl of brown rice that had already gone bad on the table.

Emperor Beichen narrowed his eyes slightly, and when he saw Concubine Jia's appearance, he felt that the anger in his heart subsided a little.

He walked slowly to the bedside and looked at Jiapin with undisguised disgust and disdain in his eyes.

"What? Does Jiapin really think she is the Empress Dowager now? She doesn't even bow down to me when I come? She is really so arrogant!"

After hearing what Emperor Beichen said, Jiapin finally responded.

She slightly opened her eyelids and spoke in a hoarse voice: "So what if I don't kneel down? It's just a little more torture!"

Jiapin doesn't want to say much to Emperor Beichen now.

Isn’t it hard enough that I have lived in Xingqing Palace these years?

He sent people to force him to drink poison and eat rotten rice every day, and even the palace maids and eunuchs in Xingqing Palace humiliated him.

If the emperor had not threatened her with the lives of Wu Yue and her cousin the prime minister, she would have hanged herself long ago.

Two lines of tears flowed from Jiapin's eyes. The vows she made to the emperor could not withstand the rumors from the outside world...

She was originally the emperor's first wife. After the emperor ascended the throne, he not only ordered the death of her father, mother and brother, but also demoted himself to a concubine!

Her Wu Yue also fell from the position of the eldest princess to a concubine's daughter...

He was also paranoid that she was secretly having an affair with her cousin, the prime minister. If it weren't for the prime minister's powerful influence, the emperor would have ordered him to be executed long ago...

Jiapin laughed at herself, she was really blinded by her own greed, she actually persuaded her father and brother to help him, who was not favored at the time, to seize the throne...

When Emperor Beichen heard Concubine Jia say this, he became so angry that his eyes turned red.

He grabbed Jiapin's skinny wrist and said viciously: "You still don't know your mistakes? It seems that I haven't taught you a lesson over the years! Then don't blame me for not considering the father-daughter relationship!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiapin had a bad feeling in her heart.

She struggled to raise her head and looked at Emperor Beichen with her eyes wide open.

"What do you want to do? Wu Yue is your own flesh and blood... If you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, just come to me, don't hurt my Wu Yue!"
