A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

After the final banquet, everyone left Hongde with their own thoughts.

Qin Suiyou and his companions first went to the bookstore to change their clothes before returning to the Prince's Mansion.

"These past few days have been a waste of time. We haven't been able to promote the products in the store, and one of our own people got injured."

Ke Zuo sighed, feeling a pang of sympathy as he thought of Song Jun, who had almost ruined his leg while riding a horse.

"It wasn't a complete waste of time; at least we learned a lot."

Upon hearing Qin Suiyou's words, Ke Zuo immediately pouted.

“You know everything, but you and Beitang Yan were just secretly listening to what Shuo Han said, and we knew nothing.”

Qin Suiyou smiled.

“I never said I was going to hide it from you, but there are just too many things to explain in a short time. In a few days, you will see for yourselves and you will know everything.”

Upon hearing this, Ke Zuo snorted and crossed his arms.

"Excuses? You're just too lazy to come up with anything."

As a loyal fan of Qin Suiyou, Ke Zuo had long since seen through his hidden lazy mentality.

However, Qin Suiyou was very self-righteous.

"Since you've said that, I can't let your words be false."

It means I'm really not going to talk about it anymore.

Ke Zuo immediately felt a pang of regret. If he hadn't been so talkative, would his brother You have forgotten about the salted fish? But no matter how much Ke Zuo tugged at Qin Suiyou's clothes and asked in a coquettish manner, Qin Suiyou only smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Later, he was pushed away by Beitang Yan, who couldn't stand it anymore, with a stern face.

"You've almost wrinkled my wife's clothes."

Beitang Yan didn't want Ke Zuo to get too close to Qin Suiyou, but he still found an excuse to avoid the man saying that he was really stingy.

Ke Zuo rolled his eyes at Bei Tangyan and then immediately changed his expression and smiled at Qin Suiyou.

"Brother You, I'm going to find Mr. Li to get some herbs. I'll be back when it's time to eat."

Not long after Ke Zuo left, Qin Suiyou summoned Jinwen and Lanfeng, who had been kept behind to go to the bookstore.

"Have any changes in the political climate among scholars these past few days?"

Jinwen bowed slightly and replied, "Recently, several disasters have occurred in other places. The government's passive attitude in handling the situation has caused dissatisfaction among many people in the know, who are already calling for the punishment of those who are corrupt, accept bribes, and disregard the people."

After Jinwen finished speaking, Lanfeng continued, "Zhengjun, Confucius suddenly fainted at the literary gathering, and there are rumors that the Confucius family is on the verge of collapse and can no longer serve as a role model for scholars across the land."

Qin Suiyou frowned, not expecting such an outrageous rumor to exist.

"In a war of public opinion, you need to come up with something even more sensational to overshadow this. So, you..."

After Qin Suiyou finished giving his instructions, Jinwen and Lanfeng exchanged a glance and then nodded in unison.

"Yes."

Just as the two opened the door to go out, Lu Xi ran over quickly.

"Don't close the door! Don't close the door! I need to get in!"

After stepping aside to let Lu Xi in, the two closed the door before leaving.

“Youyou, that Tuoba Yue gave me a letter and asked me to pass it on to you.”

After slamming the envelope onto the desk in front of Qin Suiyou, Lu Xi leaned over and sat down next to Qin Suiyou. Beitang Yan, on the other side, was used to it and was only curious about what kind of letter Tuoba Yue would write to his wife.

Seeing Qin Suiyou slowly opening the letter, Lu Xi crossed her arms over her chest.

“I was having a great time outside and he asked me to deliver a message, and he even specifically reminded me not to open it myself. Do you think I'm that kind of person? I'm not even curious about what he wrote.”

As Lu Xi spoke, his gaze followed Qin Suiyou's movements up and down. Who would believe he wasn't curious? In any case, he didn't want to be; he was just being stubborn.

However, Lu Xi still restrained herself, and only slowly moved closer after Qin Suiyou started looking at it.

"What did he write?"

Qin Suiyou glanced at Lu Xi, who immediately refuted his words, and smiled.

"Let's watch it together."

Beitang Yan also leaned against Qin Suiyou's other side while reading. Surrounded by him, Qin Suiyou accommodated the different reading speeds of the two people beside him, asking "Have you finished reading?" before moving on to the next page.

Tuoba Yue didn't seem to be very good at writing, or perhaps he didn't write Chinese characters much, so each character was written very large, and there were quite a few typos, so it took six pages to write, if it wasn't very long.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

At first, Lu Xi didn't think much of it, since his own handwriting was also mediocre. But after hearing Beitang whisper, "His handwriting is so ugly," and recalling Tuoba Yue's inexplicably awkward and secretive demeanor when he found him, Lu Xi immediately understood.

"Hahaha, oh my god, so that guy was afraid his handwriting was too ugly for me to see, but he didn't expect that I could actually read it with Youyou. Oh my, that guy is so funny! Hahahaha!"

Lu Xi burst into laughter, staggering and almost rolling onto the ground.

Qin Suiyou reached out and grabbed Lu Xi, saying helplessly, "It's not that exaggerated. Since they didn't want others to see it in the first place, then you shouldn't show it later."

Having finally laughed enough, Lu Xi steadied herself, raising and lowering her hands to calm her breathing.

"call--"

Seeing Lu Xi's exaggerated laughter, Qin Suiyou felt helpless, while Beitang Yan was somewhat understanding.

"His writing is so bad that it's really embarrassing to let too many people see it. He is self-aware, but his thinking is still not thorough enough."

Qin Suiyou patted Beitang Yan on the head.

"Say less, don't become so sarcastic."

However, at this moment, Lu Xiping, who had reached a consensus with Beitang Yan, finished catching his breath and praised Beitang Yan's words.

"That's right, your summary is quite accurate."

After patting Beitang Yan, the hand landed on Lu Xi's head.

"You too, your calligraphy is just as good as his."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xi proudly put her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest.

"So, I generally don't let others see my handwriting. I'm much more thoughtful than him in this respect."

Qin Suiyou shook his head but didn't say anything more. Instead, he changed the subject to the contents of the letter.

"He said that the emperor had agreed to the condition of reducing taxes and converting them into road construction, but the emperor intended for him to stay in Yejing for a while longer, probably because he was about to take some action."

Lu Xi stroked his smooth chin and said, "You're not going to send troops to raid our base, are you?"

Lu Xi had only meant it as a casual remark, but he didn't expect to notice that Qin Suiyou and Beitang Yan were both looking at him.

Lu Xi turned her head and blinked a few times before saying uncertainly, "Does he really want to steal our house?"

Beitang Yan nodded.

"Probably."

Qin Suiyou nodded as well.

"The snow-capped mountains of the Northern Regions possess precious snow lotuses, which Tuoba Yue has already presented. However, there is something even more enticing, a sacred object that transcends everything in the hearts of the Northern Regions people. This sacred object possesses a legendary efficacy that His Majesty desperately needs."
