The second sister-in-law shook her head helplessly and sighed softly:

"Little sister, in the final analysis, you still don't understand the king's thoughts thoroughly enough.

As the monarch of a country, he has such a noble status. How could he tolerate relying on you for financial support in all matters?

This approach will undoubtedly make him feel frustrated and feel deeply incompetent and useless!"

"He...he actually thinks so?"

Shen Qingge looked at his second sister-in-law, hoping to get a negative answer from her.

The second sister-in-law nodded very affirmatively, which made Shen Qingge's heart sink instantly.

"But, this is a major matter concerning the imperial court after all!

How could the entire situation be brought to a standstill simply because of his personal opinion?"

"In my opinion, he might just be struggling to think of a foolproof plan.

Maybe in your opinion, using unexpected money is not a big deal, but for him, it is a big deal.

If it is like this this time, what if there is a next time?

If he can't replenish the national treasury, will he keep asking you for money?"

The second sister-in-law said earnestly.

The second sister-in-law's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Shen Qingge's heart.

She couldn't help but start reflecting on herself, realizing that her behavior in the court today was somewhat inappropriate.

As the king of a country, how could he tolerate that the funds needed to build the country rely on the private property of a woman?

At least in Xiao Heng's heart, he must be unable to accept this situation, right?

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that she had ignored Xiao Heng's feelings.

So, she secretly decided to take Xiao Heng to her space to take a look, so that he could see with his own eyes where the so-called "ill-gotten gains" came from, so that he could let go of the heavy psychological burden and accept it with pleasure.

As for the future, we must expand financial channels and fill the national treasury.

So she smiled and said:

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I think I know what to do!"

Hearing this, the second sister-in-law Ye Yurou nodded gently, her eyes full of relief:

"Actually, little sister, you have to understand that the reason the king behaves this way just proves that he is a rare good man!

He sees and takes your hard work to heart, so he doesn't have the heart to ask for too much from you.

So, don’t misunderstand him too much!”

As the second sister-in-law spoke, she hoped in her heart that the relationship between her younger sister and the king could become closer.

Although her younger sister is a heroic heroine, when it comes to dealing with relationships between men and women, she is still like a young girl who has just started out, and seems too immature and ignorant.

Looking back, even though my younger sister had a bad relationship with Emperor Xiaowu, it seemed that the relationship between them never developed to a very close level.

I guess my younger sister still maintains that pure girlish heart that has not been contaminated by the world.

At this time, Xiao Heng in the palace was also uneasy.

He sat upright in front of the exquisite desk, holding a red brush in his hand, with a pile of memorials awaiting approval spread out in front of him, but his eyes were wandering and his thoughts had long since flown away to who knows where.

After a long time, the memorial was still in front of him, but he had not even finished reading half of it.

Finally, Xiao Heng threw the pen in his hand heavily in annoyance, and then closed the memorial with a "snap".

Then, he casually picked up his favorite book beside him, trying to use it to distract himself from his chaotic thoughts.

But even so, those densely packed words turned into meaningless symbols in his eyes. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't read a single word.

He was so distracted that he even held the book upside down.

Yun Yi, who had been silently standing beside him and waiting on him, saw that his master had been in this state for quite a while. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to speak and remind him:

"Master, you are holding the book... upside down."

Hearing this, Xiao Heng, who was already in a bad mood, trembled slightly, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

He quickly turned over the book in his hand, raised his head, and glared at the talkative Yun Yi with a sharp gaze.

Yun Yi couldn't help but feel frightened when Xiao Heng glared at him.

But thinking of the conversation he had just heard and the scene he had seen outside the hall, he really felt that he could not let the situation continue to develop in this way.

So, he continued stubbornly:

"Master, you really went too far today.

In fact, both you and General Shen are kind-hearted. How can there be absolute right or wrong?

Besides, no matter what, she is a woman after all!

It seems to me that what you did today was really lacking in... grace!

And when General Shen left, she was obviously very angry and she even ignored me when I greeted her!"

Before he finished speaking, Yun Yi had already taken several steps back, fearing that Xiao Heng would get angry and hit him.

However, Xiao Heng did not get angry. On the contrary, he looked a little listless.

I only heard him speak slowly in a soft voice that was almost a whisper:

"Is she... really that angry?"

When Yun Yi heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly replied cautiously:

"Yes... yes! I've known General Shen for so long, but I've never seen her so angry!

On weekdays, she treats us subordinates very kindly and gently.

Just this time..."

Having said this, Yun Yi suddenly realized that he seemed to have said too much, so he quickly stopped talking and secretly glanced at Xiao Heng's expression.

At this moment, Xiao Heng's expression was gloomy and unclear, and he continued to ask:

"So in your opinion, do what Shen Qingge said today make sense?"

Yun Yi hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to answer:

"My Lord, if we have enough silver, what General Shen said does make sense.

Weren't you also full of praise for the drawings designed by Lord Zhou Ding?"

After hearing Yun Yi's words, Xiao Heng nodded subconsciously at first, but then quickly shook his head, with a tangled and confused expression on his face.

For a moment, his thoughts were a mess.

After a long silence, Xiao Heng finally spoke again and asked:

"Then...where is Shen Qingge at this moment?"

Yun Yi responded hurriedly:

"She's on holiday today, have you forgotten?"

"Oh……"

Xiao Heng responded thoughtfully, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can leave first. I want to be alone here for a while."

After receiving the order, Yun Yi hurriedly saluted and turned to leave.

Before leaving, he couldn't help but turned back and shouted:

"In short, I think you should go to General Shen and apologize as soon as possible, and comfort her!"

Before he could finish his words, Yun Yi had disappeared without a trace like a gust of wind.

In the huge room, Xiao Heng was the only one standing alone, lost in deep thought.

I thought about it from day to night and didn't even have dinner.

Finally, he unknowingly left the palace and arrived outside the Shen Mansion...
