Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

"Who died and needs a grave repaired? Tell me, I am so strong now." Feng Yucai asked.

Shen Chuning was silent for a moment, then slowly uttered two words: "Your Majesty."

"Emperor...Emperor...Emperor's Tomb...Ninth Father, you are the one who is rebelling! I am now severing the relationship between father and daughter...No, mother and son...Pah, is it too late to restore the relationship between father and son?" Shen Chuning's words shocked Feng Yucai so much that he stuttered.

After a long while, he came back to his senses. "The imperial mausoleum has already been built. Why would we need to build one now?"

Shen Chuning covered her mouth with her hand and lowered her voice to Feng Yucai, "Your Majesty feels that the current imperial mausoleum's feng shui is not good and wants to choose a new location to build another one."

At this point, she suddenly remembered the huge amount of silver Emperor Jing needed, so she added, "And the scale of this construction may be quite large."

Feng Yucai suddenly understood after hearing this and said, "No wonder those old men in the Ministry of Works have been studying burial feng shui recently. So this is what's going on!"

Shen Chuning looked at Feng Yucai and asked with a smile, "Do you want to participate in this project?"

When Feng Yucai heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle.

He quickly waved his hand and refused, "Nineth Father, you said it's quite large, so it will probably take several years to complete. I'm not even married yet, so it's unlucky to go to a place like that!"

After saying that, he frowned and looked worried.

Then, he lowered his voice and said to Shen Chuning mysteriously, "I heard that all the newly built imperial mausoleums must be buried with living people first. What if I'm buried with them?"

Shen Chuning glanced at Feng Yucai with disdain, "Where did you hear all this nonsense?"

Feng Yucai, however, looked serious and inscrutable as he replied, "It's better to believe it than not. You don't understand, you don't understand."

Shen Chuning curled her lips helplessly, shook her head and said, "You don't like it here, and you don't want to go there. Just go home and continue to be your playboy."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yucai hurriedly said, "No, no, I will definitely follow your arrangements, Ninth Father. Even if you ask me to repair the imperial mausoleum, I will grit my teeth and go. But if His Majesty passes away, you must remember to secretly burn a few pieces of paper for me next to the imperial mausoleum!"

"I'm so unlucky that I choose to cooperate with you. Outside, you are so careless with your mouth, shouting about death, and you are not afraid that you will be dragged away and beheaded as soon as you go out." Shen Chuning said, stretching out a finger and pointing to the sky.

Feng Yucai quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Shen Chuning rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Since you don't want to stay in the capital, ask your father to use his connections to get you an official position outside the capital."

Feng Yucai's eyes lit up when he heard Shen Chuning's words, and he said excitedly, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Going to my brother-in-law's fiefdom to be a minor official is relaxing and comfortable, and no one's got to keep you under wraps. It's simply too good to be true! If anything goes wrong, I can just go to my sister and cry a little, and everything will be settled. It's much more comfortable than being in the capital. Ninth Father, you truly are a master of life planning."

Shen Chuning looked at his happy expression and couldn't help but pour cold water on him, saying, "Do you think your life is too comfortable that you have to run away and become a thorn in others' side?"

Although Feng Yucai's sister was the eldest prince's concubine, the eldest prince's wife was the daughter of the Governor of Huguang, and the eldest prince's fiefdom was in Huguang.

If Feng Yucai really went there, wouldn't he be putting his fate completely in the hands of others?

Hearing Shen Chuning say this, Feng Yucai's heart moved. He naturally understood what Shen Chuning meant.

So, he quickly said to Shen Chuning: "I'd better not go and cause trouble for my sister. Ninth Father, please choose a place for me."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Chuning replied, "How about Anci County or Linwei County? With your qualifications, you can become a county magistrate there. That way, you won't be subject to too many restrictions, but you can still make a difference."

However, Feng Yucai looked bewildered after hearing this and asked, "Where is Anci County? And where is Linwei County?"

Shen Chuning patiently explained, "They are all near Changye. Anci County is located in the north of Changye, while Linwei County is in the east of Changye. Although they are close to Changye, they are not under the jurisdiction of Changye."

After saying this, he dipped his finger in the remaining tea in the cup and drew the relationship between the three places on the table.

However, Feng Yucai refused without hesitation: "No!"

He shook his head like a rattle, as if his neck was about to break.

Shen Chuning raised an eyebrow at this and asked in confusion, "You can even go to repair the imperial mausoleum, but why can't Anci and Lin Wei go?"

Feng Yucai replied confidently: "Although our family is not as prominent as the Shen family and we don't have a prime minister, my father is the Minister of War. If we want to go to some wealthy places, there are still ways."

Shen Chuning spread her hands helplessly and said innocently: "Then go home to your biological father, why bother looking for me?" She looked at Feng Yucai with cold eyes.

Feng Yucai hugged himself in fear and backed away repeatedly, muttering, "Are you trying to avenge Zhou Er? If you want me dead, just say so. Why send me to that kind of place?"

Shen Chuning frowned, looking unhappy. "What kind of place is that? Just now I didn't know where Anci and Lin Wei were, but now they are avoiding them like the plague."

Feng Yucai's face turned pale. He looked at Shen Chuning with a hint of fear and said in a trembling voice, "Although I don't know where Anci and Linwei are, I know where Changye is! In Changye, there are two winds a year: one that blows from morning to night, and one that blows from spring to winter! This environment is simply too harsh to endure."

Shen Chuning remained expressionless and responded coldly, "So?"

Feng Yucai's eyes revealed despair and helplessness, as if the end of the world was coming.

He muttered to himself, "Since Anci and Linwei are not far from Changye, the environment must be similar. If that were all I had to do, I would have gritted my teeth and gone. But what is Changye? That's the place His Majesty just bestowed upon the Third Prince. If that's the case, I might as well go to Huguang. At least I won't die too badly. Given my relationship with the First Prince, if I were under the Third Prince's nose, he could even find fault with my breathing."

Feng Yucai shuddered unconsciously as he spoke.

"That's why I found Anci for you. Lin Wei is not under the jurisdiction of Changye." Shen Chuning comforted.

"Do we have to go?" Feng Yucai asked unwillingly.
