Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

The maid quickly responded:

"Alright, Madam. I'll arrange for someone to put up the new name right away.

Oh, by the way, there are two clever and well-behaved palace maids here, one is called Caiyun and the other is called Caixia, both of whom were brought from the capital by the king.

From now on, these two sisters will take care of your daily life!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingge nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Afterwards, she gently took off her bag and handed it to Caiyun beside her. After thanking and saying goodbye to Yunyi, she walked into her own courtyard - Nanzhiyuan.

This is a two-entry courtyard. Just like its name, it is very elegant, simple and peaceful.

Shen Qingge immediately fell in love with the slightly larger wing on the east side, and left the relatively smaller wing on the west side for the two palace maids to live in.

After the rooms were assigned, she began to tidy up swiftly. It didn't take long before all the items were put back in their places and arranged neatly. Now, she could move in.

As night fell, Xiao Heng ordered people to prepare a simple banquet in Huayu Palace where he lived, just to welcome Shen Qingge.

Although it is called a banquet, it is actually more like a lively hot pot and barbecue feast.

He ordered the palace maids and guards to build a simple stand in the pavilion in the center of the courtyard, light the brazier, and then prepare various fresh ingredients one by one.

Then, he summoned Yun Yi, Cang Yu and Cang Feng to have dinner together.

Soon, the five of them were sitting around the brazier, enjoying the steaming hot pot, flipping and roasting the fragrant barbecue, and at the same time warming up several pots of fine wine.

During the meal, Yun Yi has always been good at grilling food, so he naturally took on the task of grilling meat for Xiao Heng.

However, sometimes when he saw Yun Yi's movements were not agile enough, Xiao Heng could not control his temper and rolled up his sleeves and took the lead himself.

For a moment, everyone ate and drank to their heart's content! After a few drinks, their whole bodies felt warm.

Under the influence of the wine, Cangyu's thoughts gradually drifted back to the years he spent in the capital.

Back then, Cangyu and Yunyi were almost all poor children with no one to rely on, without parents.

They don't know where they come from, let alone where their future destination is.

He was recruited into the mysterious secret guard training camp since he was a child. After a series of arduous training, he was finally assigned to Xiao Heng, becoming his loyal warrior and growing up with him until adulthood.

As for who this secret guard training camp actually belongs to, it remains a mystery to this day.

But if you think about it carefully, it either belongs to the late emperor or is managed by Shen Qingge's father Shen Xiaolin.

No matter what, its purpose of existence is to ensure Xiao Heng's safety.

The past is like a colorful scroll unfolding slowly before my eyes:

Together they had secretly picked delicious fruits within the heavily guarded palace walls; they had also galloped freely and hunted prey in the vast hunting grounds.

Those carefree days filled with laughter and joy are so unforgettable!

However, times have changed, and now they have come to this remote and impoverished land.

Although the living conditions were quite difficult, they were in a safe corner, allowing them to temporarily escape the complicated power struggles and various constraints within the imperial city, thus saving their own lives.

But Cangyu was a thoughtful person. When he recalled what he had seen and heard while patrolling the border, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable sadness in his heart.

The displaced people, the devastated villages and the tragic scenes of war kept flashing through his mind, making him secretly wipe away his tears involuntarily.

Yun Yi and Cang Feng, who were sitting nearby, were also deeply moved after seeing Cang Yu so sad.

Their eyes revealed the same sorrow and grief, as if they could personally feel the pain of those suffering people.

Seeing this, Shen Qingge's eyes were filled with pity.

She thought to herself:

"After all, they are only 14 or 15 years old. Their fates have been difficult, yet they still care about the well-being of others. Their kindness is truly touching."

Thinking of this, she gently spoke to comfort him:

"Don't be sad anymore, your king is right here.

I believe that with his kindness and outstanding talents, he will be able to save the people of Lingnan from suffering!"

After saying that, she turned to look at Xiao Heng, a warm smile on her face.

Xiao Heng heard this and responded to Shen Qingge's gaze with a smile. However, since the topic had already come to this point, no one would delay any longer.

After everyone hurriedly finished their meal, they went into the front court and began to discuss countermeasures.

Xiao Heng first picked up a pen and wrote down in detail each of the topics that needed to be discussed.

Before long, the paper was covered with dense handwriting, almost filling the entire surface.

Seeing this, Shen Qingge reached out to take the paper handed to him by Xiao Heng and looked at it carefully.

She carefully read the questions listed above, her brows sometimes slightly furrowed, sometimes relaxed.

"Your Highness, look at the many problems listed above. They are so complicated and intricate that I'm afraid they can't be easily resolved in a short period of time.

In my opinion, I would like to offer you a plan, is that okay?"

Xiao Heng nodded slightly, agreeing: "Go ahead!"

After a brief thought, Shen Qingge said solemnly:

"Whether it's recruiting talented individuals from around the world to serve Your Highness, saving the people in dire straits, or strengthening the daily training of the imperial guards, the key factor is ultimately money!"

"Without sufficient money to support it, all plans and ideas will be nothing but illusions and castles in the air!

Therefore, the most urgent matter at present, as we have discussed before, is to decisively confiscate the residences of those corrupt officials, confiscate all the ill-gotten gains they have extorted from the people, and then reasonably distribute and use them according to the actual situation.

This will not only alleviate the current urgent need, but also make the people applaud!"

After saying this, Shen Qingge moved a little closer to Xiao Heng, and deliberately lowered her voice, and continued softly:

“In addition, there is another crucial matter, which is to quickly identify and eliminate the forces that King Xiaowu secretly planted in the Lingnan area.

Only in this way can we close the door with peace of mind and focus on our own development.

Otherwise, if these hidden dangers are allowed to exist, they will sooner or later become a serious problem!"
