After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

The emperor was startled by Chen Furong's words, but his expression seemed to regain a sliver of clarity.

He gestured for her to speak.

"Your Majesty, if the goal is to generate tax revenue for our Great Wei Dynasty and solve the employment problem for disadvantaged women, I believe that Prince Min's decision to open the Yihong Courtyard is inappropriate."

There are many types of taxes, and the one levied by Prince Min is clearly a corrupt practice, which will likely draw criticism from the people.

"Oh, do you have a good idea?"

Emperor Chenghua had been preoccupied with the affair of the two for half a day, and now he felt dizzy and disoriented.

"I know a woman who is planning to open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the Great Wei Dynasty, specializing in beauty treatments and medical treatments for noblewomen."

If the project is successfully launched, the employment problem for disadvantaged women in our country can be solved.

Even homeless women from brothels can reform and secure such employment opportunities…

Chen Furong recounted the entire plan that Wu Weiwei had told her before.

Of course, the plan to reform the prostitutes of the Yihong Courtyard was something she added on the spot, and she did it to shut up Prince Min.

Emperor Ming Cheng raised his eyebrows.

This sounds much better than his son's plan to open a brothel.

And it will no longer be criticized by the people.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Upon hearing Emperor Mingcheng nod, Prince Min hurriedly said, "Father, Chen Furong is just talking nonsense."

As far as I know her, she just returned from the Western Frontier. How could she possibly know any woman who runs a clinic? Don't be fooled by her!

“Your Highness, who said I was talking nonsense? I do know such capable people.”

"I'm not afraid to tell you, this person is the concubine of the heir of the Marquis of Dingguo's household."

"What did you say?"

King Min was astonished.

"Commander Lu's concubine?"

Emperor Cheng's spirits visibly lifted, and his cloudy eyes seemed to clear a bit.

Chen Furong nodded.

"That's right, her name is Wu Weiwei, a talented and intelligent woman..."

After learning that the person who wanted to run the clinic was Lu Hanting's concubine.

With a stroke of his pen, Emperor Cheng of Ming granted Wu Weiwei the right to operate the Yihong Courtyard shops.

Upon hearing this, King Min collapsed to the ground.

He glared at Chen Furong with anger and resentment.

He vowed that Chen Furong would be his enemy from now on.

He would rather die than have any entanglement with his enemy.

Emperor Mingcheng was already exhausted, and he noticed the hatred in Prince Min's eyes towards Chen Furong.

He sighed.

Given how things have turned out between the two, it's impossible for them to continue their marriage.

So he waved his hand and granted their request to dissolve the engagement.

Although Prince Min broke off his engagement with Chen Furong, he lost his profitable shop.

He walked out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a gloomy expression.

Looking at Min Wang's defeated figure, Chen Furong felt a sense of relief.

Just as she stepped out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, she saw a young eunuch hurriedly enter the hall with a letter in his hand.

"Your Majesty, Commander Lu has sent an urgent letter from Tongzhou..."

Biyunting.

I heard that Chen Furong not only had the Yihong Courtyard smashed up, but also went to the palace with Prince Min.

Wu Weiwei was genuinely surprised.

It seems that Chen Furong took what she said that day to heart.

Knowing the final fate of Prince Min, Wu Weiwei naturally did not want her to follow the same path as in the book, so she persuaded her to break off the engagement with Prince Min.

But Chen Furong hesitated to speak to her, thinking of the 200,000 troops under the command of the General of Anxi, and knew that this marriage could not be canceled.

Unexpectedly, she used today's events to get Prince Min to drag her to the Emperor's presence.

If this matter can be accomplished, it will be as if she has gotten what she wanted.

Just then, Lingfu informed him that Chen Furong had arrived.

"Please come quickly!"

"Sister Weiwei."

Chen Furong walked in with a big smile on her face.

"Junior sister, they say that people are in high spirits when they have good news. Have you had something good happen to you today?"

"Hahaha……"

Chen Furong smiled happily.

She knew that Wu Weiwei must have heard about her causing a scene at the brothel.

Wanqiu served tea to the two of them, and Wu Weiwei sat quietly to the side, listening to her speak.

Chen Furong recounted her battle with Prince Min with great enthusiasm, describing their heated debate in the palace.

She talked until her mouth was dry.

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Furong suddenly said mysteriously to her:

"Sister Weiwei, I have some good news to tell you."

"Oh, what is it?"

Wu Weiwei moved closer to her.

"Let me tell you, you've secured the shop space for your beauty and traditional Chinese medicine clinic."

"His Majesty personally approved the granting of the Yihong Courtyard to you, which belongs to Prince Min."

"You mean the Emperor granted me Prince Min's brothel?"

Wu Weiwei was shocked.

"Ah."

Chen Furong nodded.

Although Wu Weiwei was somewhat prepared, she was still surprised when she heard Chen Furong's definitive answer.

"Sister Weiwei, you must send me a couple more bottles of beauty cream later. I've put in a lot of effort for your shop!"

Chen Furong boasted of her achievement.

"It's not just a few bottles of beauty cream; I'll also give you a VIP card."

From now on, you'll get a 50% discount on everything you do at my beauty clinic; you'll be my VIP customer.

What is a VIP?

Chen Furong was puzzled.

Looking at her eager face, Wu Weiwei smiled.

"You'll see once my shop opens."

"All right!"

Chen Furong was happy that she had helped Wu Weiwei.

But thinking of her promise to the emperor to reform all the prostitutes in the Grand View Garden, she suddenly felt guilty and said, "By the way, Sister Weiwei, I made a decision for you on my own, but I don't know if it's right or wrong?"

"..."

After listening to Chen Furong's words, Wu Weiwei smiled slightly.

She thought it was something serious.

It's simply about providing employment opportunities for women in the brothel who are willing to reform; what's so difficult about that?

The traditional Chinese medicine clinic he opened was originally intended to serve wealthy women, and most of the employees were women.

However, she really needs to think carefully about hiring prostitutes as employees.

After all, wealthy women would certainly have some reservations about the services of prostitutes.

We'll have to see how things go about that later.

"Okay, I agree to this."

Seeing Wu Weiwei nod in agreement, Chen Furong finally felt relieved.

"There's one more thing, and it's related to your interests, Sister Weiwei, so I have to tell you."

Seeing Chen Furong's startled reaction, Wu Weiwei asked helplessly, "What's wrong? Did you promise the emperor something else?"

"No, this isn't about the shop, it's about my senior brother."

Upon hearing that it was Lu Hanting, Wu Weiwei looked puzzled.

The young master isn't looking for his beloved in Tongzhou. What could he possibly be doing here? Is he coming back?

"Let me tell you, just now when I was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, I heard my senior brother deliver an urgent letter to the emperor."

Can you guess why?

Wu Weiwei shook her head.

"I'll tell you a secret, my senior brother has asked the emperor to send troops to attack Chulong Prefecture..."

"Chulong Prefecture?"

Isn't that the no-man's-land described in the book?

Why would Lu Hanting attack it for no reason?

"Don't you understand?"

Chen Furong moved closer to her.

“I went back and asked my father, and that’s what he found out.”

The reason my senior brother requested to attack Chulong Prefecture was because of his concubine who had run away.

I heard that this concubine had already married someone else in Tongzhou, but for some reason she was captured and brought to Chuzhou.
