Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

"Sir, do you want me to contact Du Jingsheng first today?" Li Hui was a little worried. According to the time agreed by both parties, they should be one after the other. Why would they come so late at night?

"No, there are too many people watching us now. After we came here without permission, they will definitely be more cautious." As soon as the words fell, the voice of a well-trained army was heard.

Gao Qiang hurried in, with a look of undisguised worry on his face. "Sir, we are surrounded."

Before Sheng Changan could speak, a familiar figure appeared.

"Recently, due to the assassination of the Crown Prince, the capital has been in a state of great turmoil. Lord Liu has specifically instructed us to take good care of Lord Sheng's safety."

"I believe that Lord Sheng should understand. Lord Liu is worried that Lord Sheng will be bored. The Emperor's third princess happened to return to the capital today, so he specially ordered her to spend more time with you."

The visitor was none other than Lord Yu, who had already met Sheng Changan several times. "Oh! By the way, not only Lord Liu, but the Emperor also strongly approves."

Sheng Changan looked at his gloating expression and probably guessed that the third princess was probably very unhappy.

It is humiliating for a princess to have to interact with a minister, who is just a county magistrate.

"The emperor has given his orders, and I shall obey them," she said with a slight bow.

Looking at Sheng Changan's indifferent expression, his eyes sank slightly, but he didn't say anything else. After all, someone would naturally teach her a lesson next.

"Sir," Yuan Qi and others looked at Sheng Changan worriedly. Everyone had seen what the princess did today, and now Liu Zhaolai's move was obviously not a good intention.

"It may not be a bad thing." Sheng Changan's eyes curved slightly. For her, this was rare good news.

She didn't believe that the emperor really knew nothing about the Liu family's naked intention to rebel.

This time, the only prince who could inherit the throne died again.

He might not be able to bear it any longer. No matter what, the tiger should use its claws to avenge his son's death.

And this was exactly the opportunity she needed. Once the capital was in chaos, they would have the chance to leave.

As for what the Liu family wants... it's not impossible to give it to them, Sheng Changan's lips curled up slightly.

Xu Qing whispered, "Looking at the lady's expression, I know she has bad intentions. She's arguing with that Third Princess, and we don't know who's going to get into trouble!"

The corners of Sheng Changan's lips drooped instantly, and he stared at the guy who spoke ill of him in person.

"You guys are really meddling in other people's business." Xu Qing paused. "I mean, with my Lord's abilities, he will definitely not suffer any loss. Over the years, my Lord has always made every possible plan."

Everyone: “…” Is this why adults always treat him preferentially?

Yuan Qi was also at a loss for words. "Now that things have come to this, we can only act according to circumstances. Princess Three, it's not necessarily all bad."

Xu Qing curled her lips slightly. It wasn't a bad thing for her to be like that. It was a pity that her reputation didn't spread to other places.

It would be better to spread the news to Guangping County, so that people in the military camp wouldn't always look at him with puzzled eyes.

He rolled his eyes and thought...it's not impossible.

Sheng Changan didn't bother to pay attention to Xu Qing's little thoughts. As long as she wasn't plotting against her, she could barely ignore it. "I've already given Du Jingsheng a letter. He'll act accordingly."

"For the time being, we cannot have any contact with them. Just in case, we cannot contact Zhou Li either."

"Yes"

Yuan Qi knocked on the table and said, "Everyone, please be careful with your words these days. Walls have ears."

He wasn't worried about the others. He looked up at Xu Qing, who was lost in thought.

Xu Qing, sensing the suspicious gaze, immediately jumped up and down, "Is there any camaraderie at all? When has I, Xu Qing, ever made a mistake in something important?"

Sheng Changan rubbed his forehead with a headache and went straight upstairs.

Yuan Qi was also in a mess as Xu Qing pestered him for an explanation. He even felt that Xu Qing was his nemesis.

The next morning, everyone in the streets and alleys of the capital knew that a wealthy businessman had come to the capital and bought a piece of land at a high price, saying that he wanted to build a shop.

But this businessman was particularly unscrupulous. In order to save money, he actually went straight to the low-class people in West Street, only providing them with one meal, and only one bun, without any wages.

When someone asked him, he said it was to do good deeds. Whoever did good deeds would be given a piece of bread and asked to work for a whole day, and even children were not spared.

But they saw that the cake was not even as big as a child's palm. For a while, the merchant's reputation became both good and bad.

"Master Sheng, the princess invites you." Early in the morning, a maid came to the inn with her head held high and called for someone, her tone quite impatient.
