The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?

When Qin Wuyi heard this, he realized that the emperor was hopelessly suspicious. He had been holding a grudge against the King of War since the day he took the military token away.

"It's simply because they're afraid he'll force his way out of the palace and take the throne. If the Emperor keeps pushing him like this, he'll be forced to rebel in the end."

He advised: "Your Majesty, you have people in the Zhan Palace. You are well aware of any movement. Don't worry, he doesn't have that ambition."

Leng Aotian opened his deep eyes and said sternly, "Pass on my order. King Zhan is seriously ill and needs to rest. Anyone..."

"Your Majesty, the virtuous concubine requests an audience!" The eunuch's shout outside the door interrupted the emperor's words and also allowed Prince Zhan to escape a disaster, as he was almost trapped.

"Let her in." Leng Aotian sat up straight and put on the majesty of an emperor again.

The virtuous concubine came over and knelt down: "Your Majesty!"

"My beloved, please stand up. What happened has you come here in such a hurry?" Leng Aotian's voice was filled with accusation.

"Your Majesty, Hong'er's storehouse was robbed. The thieves stole everything and left nothing behind.

Hong Er was so angry that he fell ill. I would like to ask for permission to leave the palace to see him."

The emperor's face flickered with annoyance after hearing this. "His residence is heavily guarded, not even a bird can fly out. How could it have been robbed?"

"I don't know, but the concubine said he was seriously ill. As her mother, I am extremely worried, so I came to ask the emperor to allow me to leave the palace."

The emperor's face remained calm, without a single ripple.

"Have you ever visited Lao Jiu? I heard that he is terminally ill." asked the emperor.

When Concubine Xian heard this, anger flashed in her eyes: "He has never been close to me, and I don't bother to care about him."

The emperor's heart sank. "Go if you want to, but return to the palace before the city gates close."

The virtuous concubine was delighted: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After saying that, he left the imperial study.

Leng Aotian looked at Concubine Xian's happy expression and said, "Qin Wuyi, Concubine Xian's heart is so heavy that I even suspect that Old Nine is not his biological son.

Her son was dying, and as a mother, she didn't even go to see him."

Qin Wuyi began to agree: "The prince has been studying martial arts in the mountains and fighting on the battlefield. He has not spent much time with the virtuous concubine, so the mother-son relationship may have faded."

"I've seen it too. It seems that even the virtuous concubine doesn't care about him as much as the queen."

Qin Wuyi: "..."

…………

Ye Qingyan is very busy every day, and the plaque of "La Shang Yan Hotpot City" has been hung up.

The service staff all wore modern uniforms and a red apron.

These were all bought by Ye Qingyan in the mall using points.

In the afternoon, a group of people on the street started beating drums and gongs. "La Shang Yan Hot Pot City" will open tomorrow. On the opening day, all dishes will be half price.

Fengjiu kept shouting with a megaphone...

One person asked, "What is hot pot?"

"I've never heard of it either. It should be something to eat. Let's go check it out tomorrow."

"..."

Leng Jiuyuan stood on the second floor of Zuixianlou, looking at the publicity staff below.

He raised his eyes slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and then disappeared in an instant.

On the second day, the hot pot restaurant opened and was packed.

In a private room on the second floor, Leng Jiuyuan and Luo Qingfeng, the steward of all his businesses, sat at the table, eating hot pot and chatting.

"Qingfeng, if this hotpot restaurant opens all over Dongqin, will we make a lot of money?"

"Your Highness, we don't have this secret recipe!" Luo Qingfeng said.

Leng Jiuyuan said confidently, "I'm going to talk to her about cooperation. With her own strength, it's not possible for her to open stores all over the capital. Cooperation and win-win are the hard truth."

The two continued to discuss...

…………

In the evening, Ye Qingyan washed up and lay down on the bed to rest.

She was thinking that she had to exchange for some more solar lights.

At this time, there were three knocks on the door.

"come in!"

Leng Jiuyuan pushed the door open and walked in with a brocade box in his hand.

"Xiao Qi, I have something to discuss with you!"

Ye Qingyan put on her shoes and sat on the chair: "What's the matter?"

Leng Jiuyuan didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Your hot pot is delicious, let's talk about cooperation.

You provide the technology and materials, and I'll arrange the staff and the shop. How about we split the profits 50-50?"

Ye Qingyan's mind was racing. With her own strength, it would take more than a day or two to open stores all over Dongqin.

It’s a 50-50 split, you are responsible for the base ingredients, and you make a lot of money.

She looked at Leng Jiuyuan, touched his head, and then touched her own head: "It's not hot, is your brain confused?"

Leng Jiuyuan thought: How come he does this again? Xiaoqi’s problem is not good.

Ye Qingyan was a little unconvinced and questioned, "Did your head get stuck in a door, or was it kicked by a donkey? I only invest in base materials and technology, so the profits are split 50-50?"

Leng Jiuyuan nodded, "Yes, I have shops all over the place, so opening a hot pot restaurant should be easy."

I thought to myself: Xiaoqi, as long as you agree, I will bind you tightly for the rest of your life.

There was a hint of surprise in Ye Qingyan's eyes: "You won't cheat me, will you?"

Leng Jiuyuan looked calm and said with a smile, "What can I possibly do to you?

I invest all the manpower and material resources for the store, and you only provide the technology and materials. This is a win-win cooperation for us."

Ye Qingyan propped her face up with one hand. "It seems to make some sense. This is a joint-stock system. Where can I get the money? How do I know how much you earn?"

Leng Jiuyuan's eyes and eyebrows were all smiling: "There is a ledger, don't worry, I won't lie to you."

"Deal!" A smile broke out on Ye Qingyan's face.

Leng Jiuyuan opened the brocade box, revealing a very delicate dagger inside, which he pushed in front of Ye Qingyan.

"It's for you."

When Ye Qingyan pulled out the dagger, a cold light flashed.

"What a great knife, thank you!"

Ye Qingyan casually took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Leng Jiuyuan: "This is a bottle of elixir that can cure all kinds of poisons. Keep it with you in case of emergency."

Leng Jiuyuan put away the small bottle and clasped his fists: "Thank you!"

The two began to discuss the specific details...

…………

On the morning of the second day, Ye Qingyan strolled on the street to see if there were any business opportunities.

At this time, a woman in pink walked out of the silver shop on the left, followed by a man in his twenties in green.

"Ye Qingyan, you bitch, so you are here."

Ye Qingyan turned around and looked in the direction of the voice. The person coming was none other than Ximen Caidie.

"Ximen Caidie, what's wrong? Have you forgotten the pain now that the wound has healed? You still dare to cause trouble!" Ye Qingyan said coldly.

Ximen Caidie was filled with anger, and recalled the scene of being slapped in the face. There was murderous intent in her eyes: "Second Brother, she was the one who slapped me in the face last time. Today I must take revenge."

Seeing this, Sha Mingche advised: "Junior Sister, this is the capital, you'd better not cause trouble. Let's go back first."

"If I hadn't gone back, I wouldn't have been able to find her. I didn't expect to meet her today."

After saying that, he ignored anyone who tried to stop him and punched Ye Qingyan with all his strength.

Ye Qingyan had a strange smile on her lips: "Looking for death!"

She turned sideways and kicked Ximen Caidie away.

She began to look around. Where was the person? Where did I kick him?

I can’t kick next time. It’s hard to find someone.

More than 300 meters above the ground, there was a person lying on the ground, and the jewels on her head fell to the ground.

Ximen Caidie stood up with blood all over her mouth.

She looked at Ye Qingyan in the distance, drew the soft sword from her waist and rushed towards her: "I will kill you!"

When she got closer, Ye Qingyan took out the Wind and Thunder Whip. When the sword rushed towards her, she leaped forward, and the sword pierced the air. Ye Qingyan whipped it back with her backhand.

"Ah!" Ximen Caidie was knocked to the ground.

She felt as if all the bones in her body were broken, and the flesh on her back seemed to be torn apart. The pain was so severe that tears streamed down her face.

She was still cursing: "You little bitch, you will die!"

"You really deserve a beating!"

Ye Qingyan came in front of her and lashed her with two more whips...
