As soon as Long Shang left, Tang came over with Wenxiu.
Wenxiu told her what happened in Prince Yu's Mansion as soon as she came back. At first, she was worried that Gu Lingyue was frightened and wanted to come to see her immediately. But then she heard that Gu Lingyue and Long Shang went to the garden, and the two women came back again, so she had to make some arrangements and did not come.
"Prince Xing has gone too far. At first, he allied with Lady Liu to exchange a marriage for her daughter, without considering your situation. Now that you and the prince are living a good life, he comes to sow discord between you and your wife. Does he think it's still the same as before? Back then, mother was ill and couldn't help you, and your maternal grandfather and uncle were in Youzhou and couldn't take care of us, so he was so unscrupulous and dared to bully you like that.
Now that mother is well again, and your maternal grandfather has returned to the capital, we are no longer helpless. I will go find your maternal grandfather right now, and we will go to the palace to ask the emperor for an explanation." Tang slapped the armrest of the chair angrily and prepared to get up and leave.
Gu Lingyue shook Tang's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry about this matter. Leave it to Long Shang and me to handle it."
Her grandfather already controls a large number of troops and is feared by others. It would be bad if he was impeached or used as an excuse to make trouble because of this matter. Besides, she doesn't take this matter seriously.
Upon hearing this, Tang thought that this was a good idea. If Emperor Tianqi wanted to punish Prince Jing or her daughter for this matter, it would not be too late for her to go to the palace with her father.
After all, this was the Tian family's family affair. As long as her daughter was not wronged, it would be fine for her and the Tang family not to get involved. So, she nodded and said nothing more.
At this moment, she thought of the two women who had returned and said, "Yue'er, how are you going to deal with those two women?"
Based on the time she had spent with her daughter, she knew that her daughter would never allow Prince Jing to have another woman.
Gu Lingyue roughly recounted what Emperor Tianqi had said to her, and then said, "Mother, you must be more careful during this period, lest they become desperate. Also, you must worry more about Rui'er and Yinyin."
"Mom knows, don't worry."
At this time, a servant came to report that Old Madam Tang and the two aunts had come to the palace and were currently in the main hall.
Gu Lingyue, Tang and others quickly got up and went to the main hall.
Old Madam Tang was cursing Long Jun at this time. When she saw Gu Lingyue and others coming in, she quickly looked at Gu Lingyue. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Gu Lingyue was fine.
"Your aunt came back and said that the prince and Prince Xing had an argument, and that you seemed a little uncomfortable, so grandma came to check on you. Now that she sees that you are fine, grandma is relieved."
Madam Tang also spoke up, "When your second aunt and I were on our way there, something happened, so we were a little late. We also heard about it from others."
Gu Lingyue understood. No wonder she didn’t see anyone from the Tang family at that time. She just didn’t know if this matter had anything to do with Long Jun?
After they chatted for a while, Gu Lingyue realized that her grandfather had also been called into the palace by the emperor. It seemed that it was not just Kou Dan's problem.
The Tang family left Prince Jing's Mansion after having dinner there. Gu Lingyue also returned to her room. If she had nothing to do during this period, she would go to bed early.
She woke up when Long Shang came back in the middle of the night.
"I woke you up anyway." Long Shang said with some regret.
He tried to speak as quietly as possible, but he still woke her up, even though he was very careful.
"No, I went to bed a little early today." Gu Lingyue said lazily, and then asked: "Why are you back so late? Have you eaten?"
"I ate at the palace." Long Shang rubbed his brows and said with a tired look, "It's still early before dawn. Stay with me and sleep for a while."
As he said that, he took off his clothes, lay down and hugged Gu Lingyue.
Seeing Long Shang's somewhat tired expression, Gu Lingyue didn't disturb him out of concern and continued to close her eyes.
When she woke up again, Long Shang also woke up.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Long Shang touched her head lovingly.
"I don't want to sleep anymore. I'm a little hungry." Gu Lingyue lay down and stretched.
Hearing Gu Lingyue say that she was hungry, Long Shang quickly stood up and said, "What do you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it."
"Anything is fine." Gu Lingyue got up as she said that.
Long Shang instructed Yun Jin, who was guarding the door, to mention a few of Gu Lingyue's favorite dishes and asked her to ask the kitchen to prepare them and send them over. Then he returned to the house.
Gu Lingyue took him into the space.
She asked Long Shang to wash up first, while she went to check her banker and merit points.
Now the merit points on the merit frame have five digits, and the money frame also has eight digits. Gu Lingyue was a little excited. She didn't expect that she now had so many merit points.
She knew that she would receive merit points if others ate the food in her space, but she didn't expect there would be so many.
Gu Lingyue happily went to see the crops again.
The wheat and potatoes were ripe. Gu Lingyue operated the buttons to harvest them and not only replanted them, but also sold another 500 acres of land and planted potatoes on them, thinking of selling them when they were ripe.
When she finished her work and returned to the room, Long Shang had already washed up and was playing on her computer.
Gu Lingyue grabbed a change of clothes and prepared to go to the bathroom. She glanced at Long Shang and saw that he was now proficient in using the computer. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking for?"
"There is a famine this year and the crops are poor. My father was expecting Xishu to redeem Kou Dan so that the national treasury could have more income. Now Kou Dan is dead, and my father asked everyone to find a solution. Now the national treasury has neither money nor food. Not only the common people have nothing to eat, even the soldiers on the border can't survive the winter. So I want to see how you solved the famine in your world." Long Shang said without raising his head.
In fact, he knew that it was useless whether Kou Dan was alive or dead. Even if Kou Ze was willing to redeem Kou Dan, the treasury of Western Shu was empty and it had no ability to redeem Kou Dan unless Kou Ze exchanged him for a town.
But this year, there was a famine in Tianqi, and the people in his own country had nothing to eat. If a few more people in towns were added, it would be even more difficult to feed them.
You can't just go through a few towns and kill all the people of Xishu in those towns and let the people of Tianqi live there, right?!
Gu Lingyue frowned slightly when she heard this, and ignored Long Shang and entered the bathroom.
I thought, there is no point in saying anything when there is no food or money during a famine.
When Gu Lingyue came out of the shower, Long Shang was still sitting in front of the computer.
She knew he wouldn't be able to find the answers he wanted on the computer.
Gu Lingyue sighed, walked to Long Shang, grabbed his hand and made him look at her.
"The things we collected from the Xishu Treasury are still in my space. We can use them first. I also have some grain and potatoes in my space. Although it's not much, as long as we can hold on for a month, the food in the space will be ripe again, and then it will be enough for a while. If it's still not enough, I..."
"That's enough." Before Gu Lingyue could continue, Long Shang interrupted her, pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "That's enough. Even if it's not enough, that's the business of those court officials. Otherwise, what's the point of having them?"
Gu Lingyue didn't say anything else after hearing this. In fact, what she wanted to say was: Even if it was not enough, she had no other choice.
Long Shang placed his chin on Gu Lingyue's shoulder, his voice filled with affection, "Yue'er, thank you. I will ask my father to write an IOU, and I will make sure he returns it to you when the harvest is good next year."
Gu Lingyue smiled and responded softly.
In fact, she had never thought about asking for it again. After all, if the things grown in her space were eaten by people outside, she would get merit points, but she would still be very happy if she could get the money back.
