Time Travel and Love

"Mother, are you feeling better?" Mo Jiangqing stood by the bed and watched Mo Liujin feed Chu Qingmeng medicine, his face full of worry.

"The high fever has subsided for over an hour and hasn't returned. Quan Si said it won't return once the patient wakes up." Mo Liujin answered him while feeding him medicine. "It's just that the high fever has lasted too long. Your mother is in pain all over and doesn't have the energy to talk to you."

Chu Qingmeng really didn't have the strength to speak. After drinking the medicine, he fell asleep again in a daze.

It wasn't until the next morning that she felt much better. She rubbed against Mo Liujin's arms and felt him holding her tightly. Then she spoke with a thick nasal voice, "Ajin~"

"Yeah." Mo Liujin responded with his eyes closed. He held her in his arms last night while she was half asleep and half awake, afraid that she would repeat the same mistake again without him noticing. "Are you feeling better?"

"Yeah, it doesn't hurt anymore." Chu Qingmeng raised her head and pecked the corner of his lips, "Ajin, you've worked hard~"

"The weather is getting colder. You should take a carriage when you go out next time." Mo Liujin stroked her long hair and tried to persuade her.

Chu Qingmeng agreed and decided to take the carriage or not.

After a while of being bored, the two of them got up and ordered breakfast in the house, and did not go to the restaurant. Mo Liujin had not even finished his breakfast when he was chased by military matters and went to the front yard to discuss matters.

Chu Qingmeng was reviewing the files he had accumulated over the past few days in his room.

Quan Si was quite fast. It had only been a short while since he rebuilt the entire system on the fifth floor. Chu Qingmeng was extremely impressed by his ability.

Three more days passed in peace and tranquility.

The atmosphere in the court became increasingly tense. Since the heavy rain stopped, the court had been held every day for the past few days, directly from the hour of Yin to noon. It seemed as if they would not be allowed to leave the court until they could find a solution.

Chu Qingmeng actually didn't attend the farewell banquet for the nations coming to pay tribute, claiming illness. Instead, she stayed on the fifth floor the entire day. Before she disappeared, the staff transferred from the fifth floor of various countries were just enough to help.

At her new location on the fifth floor, Quan Si planted a large pear tree in the backyard, saying it was the old owner's order.

Chu Qingmeng sighed. His father really wanted him to go back all the time.

After handling those trivial matters, he was about to leave when Feiying came up to him and said, "Master, the old prince wants you to go to the study to discuss matters."

"..."

Can’t we take a break after the envoys from various countries leave?

When she arrived at the gate of the palace, Mo Liujin was already waiting for her. He took her into the study, where Mo Liuyun and Mo Chenfeng were already sitting in the main seats.

"Please take the seat, father." Chu Qingmeng performed the usual greetings and was then pointed by Mo Chenfeng to sit next to him.

As soon as he sat down, Mo Liuyun threw a thunderbolt, "Uncle, I want to take action against the Kui clan immediately."

Mo Liujin glanced at Chu Qingmeng calmly.

"Isn't it a bit too hasty to take the throne?" Mo Chenfeng frowned. If he took action now, he might not have enough reasons.

"Think twice, my Lord. The people in the iron mine haven't completely infiltrated yet. If we act rashly, we might..."

"I don't want to make any big moves for the time being." Mo Liuyun interrupted Mo Liufang.

"..."

Her father was trying to trick her again. Chu Qingmeng said nothing, burying her face in the tea bowl.

"In that case, we can use some strange and clever tricks." Mo Liujue said after careful consideration.

"That's not right," Mo Liuyuan shook his head. "Our people have never done anything sneaky, so it's not safe to let them do it. Finding some gangsters is even worse."

"How about disguising ourselves as bandits?" Mo Liuteng thought his soldiers could do it.

"It might be too ostentatious." Mo Liujue directly rejected this idea.

"I think it's worth a try. If we tell the real bandits the location of the treasury, and let them rob it, and then the court steps in to suppress the bandits, then the Kui family will have no choice but to swallow the extra tax revenue. It will fill the gap in the national treasury, and the Kui family will have to be grateful. More importantly, we can blackmail the Kui family afterwards to make them pay more." Mo Liuyuan is indeed an important official among the civil servants.

The civil servants have such a filthy heart! Not only is my second brother filthy, he's also filthy!

Chu Qingmeng buried his face in the tea bowl, his face full of resentment.

"This plan is indeed feasible!" Mo Chenfeng nodded.

"..."

Is that settled?

"Son, do you have any other ideas?" Mo Chenfeng looked at her.

Chu Qingmeng shook his head. "I don't understand this. But why are you so anxious about the Kui clan all of a sudden?"

Mo Liuyun was a little surprised, but then he understood. With the fifth floor under construction and her illness, she probably had no time to review the cabinet's memorials. The cabinet always submitted two copies of important memorials, one for him and one for her.

"It has been raining heavily in Qingzhou for five consecutive days. The river dams have burst and flooded the people's fields, causing the people to be displaced and countless casualties." Mo Liuyun repeated the words in the memorial to her.

"...Well, so the national treasury can't provide money for disaster relief?" Chu Qingmeng twitched his lips. From ancient times to the present, every emperor has been complaining that his national treasury is empty, and no one has ever said that his national treasury is full.

Mo Liuyun's veins throbbed at her expression, his hand twitching with the beads, but he remained silent. How long had he been on the throne?! The treasury was already empty during the previous emperor's time, and it wasn't his fault!
