Seeing her like this, Zhao Ziyan felt a pain in his heart, his feelings seemed to be like this, he could deceive himself and others without noticing it, but once the tulle was removed, his heart suddenly became clear. With one look and one action from the other party, you can reach your heart without any barriers.

She barely suppressed her emotions, and said with a chuckle: "It's okay, it's just a bit tired."

After that, she touched her belly again: "I'm still a little hungry."

Fu Yanqing's face was slightly condensed, and he said solemnly, "But your face is not good, and your hands are cold."

Zhao Ziyan don't look away: "It's natural to be hungry..."

Fu Yanqing did not give her the opportunity to make excuses: "If you are really hungry, why not go over to eat, and hide in the room alone?"

Zhao Ziyan rarely sees her being so serious, and she seems to be asking whether she has to be. She also stopped interrogating, raising her eyes to look at Fu Yanqing.

Her gaze was very direct, staring at her like this, as if to look into her heart, but there was a strong emotion in it, so Fu Yanqing was a little afraid to speculate, and that momentum was completely suppressed by Zhao Ziyan. .

Just when Fu Yanqing couldn't help it, Zhao Ziyan removed his eyes and said softly: "I'm just a little sad, and some things make me a little tired."

Fu Yanqing's throat was a bit stagnant, such Zhao Ziyan seemed to have the shadow of his previous life, revealing a gloomy, but a lot more fragile.

"Three years ago, a group of people in the rivers and lakes suddenly found me, saying that their master wanted them to respect me as the master." Zhao Ziyan curled his fingers in his sleeve slightly, and finally opened his mouth calmly.

"People in the rivers and lakes? But they shouldn't like to be involved with the court?" Fu Yanqing was surprised at what she said, but felt relieved.

"Yes, I think it's weird, but they did follow me all the time, and I accepted them when I was at a critical juncture. Later I learned that they are quite famous ghost buildings in the world."

Ghost House? It is rumored that the dead soldiers in the ghost building in the rivers and lakes are like savage ghosts, their movements are weird, and their behavior is quite cruel, but since more than 20 years ago, they have rarely appeared in front of people. How could they find a helpless person? The emperor? And that person clearly knew the existence of Zhao Ziyan, but an emperor who had never stepped into the arena, who would have trouble with her in the arena?

However, in the previous life, Xiao Shuyi asked Zhao Mojian to get rid of Zhao Ziyan several times, and the Dark Guard assassins sent countless, but never succeeded, and finally let her return to Shu Land safely. Well, if there were such a group of people around her at that time, it would be reasonable.

"Then you are the person behind the upset Ghost Tower?" Fu Yanqing asked softly.

"Yes, these days, Yunmei and the others have made some private decisions, and it was the person who wanted to come. For three years, the ghost building is almost under my control. I know that they have no bad intentions against me, but that person is absolutely impossible. There is no reason to protect me, I think about it, but I can only think of one person." Zhao Ziyan's eyebrows and eyes are filled with irritability, and it seems very tired.

Fu Yanqing's voice couldn't help but soften: "Are you talking about your mother and concubine?"

Zhao Ziyan was a little depressed and nodded. She looked at the sky in the distance, her expression a bit erratic: "No one in the palace dared to mention the mother concubine these years, even the maidservant who had served her was dismissed without a trace. When the mother concubine left, I was still young, but But vaguely remember, when she left, I did not see her for the last time, nor even saw her body. I only learned from Aunt Mu, from everyone in the palace, that she was gone. No hold. At the funeral, in the entire palace, only I and Aunt Mu will be the guardian for her."

Although her voice was calm and unwavering, Fu Yanqing felt that the words and sentences were full of blood and tears, and her throat was blocked: "Zi Yan."

Zhao Ziyan lowered his head and smiled: "I'm fine, it's been 14 years, I even forgot her appearance."

She said so, but how could Fu Yanqing not understand. At the beginning, she was still the little one, and when she fished it up from the Taiye Pond, she still held her in a daze and called her mother and concubine, like a wounded little beast, with a deep attachment. Sometimes even if you can't remember the appearance, feelings are hard to be wiped out by time, especially for Zhao Ziyan.

Although she warned herself that she needed to rein in the precipice and never let herself fall into the abyss, but at this moment, looking at this pretending person, she couldn't help but feel distressed no more. She stretched out her hand and gently hugged the thin body: " Zi Yan, don't talk about it, I understand."

The warm and soft body was in her arms at the moment, and when she spoke in a low voice with a vibrating sound, it was transmitted to her at such a close distance, and the original heavy and bitter heart suddenly quickened. I kept telling myself that she had nothing to ask for, but at this moment, Fu Yanqing's gentle embrace broke all her self-control.

Her eyes were a little sore at the moment, she was red, trying to open her eyes wide, fearing that she would not be able to help but wet her eyes. She looked down at the person in her arms, her hand hanging to her side, slowly raised it, with a slight tremor, as if she wanted to hug her back, but when she was about to touch her clothes, she held it reluctantly, and finally Pushing Fu Yanqing away gently, she said dumbly, "Thank you."

Fu Yanqing pursed her mouth tightly, and finally slowly said: "I know what you are suspecting, you must not put too much pressure on yourself, no matter what the truth is, I will accompany you on the way and check it down."

Zhao Ziyan looked at her, smiled, and nodded seriously. That's it, this person cares about her after all.

Fu Yanqing smiled slightly, her eyes swayed on her flat abdomen: "It's not early, it must be hungry, and if you don't eat it, it will make trouble."

Zhao Ziyan was taken aback for a moment, and then his ears were a little red, but he said sternly: "It made trouble in front of you. It used to be very good."

Fu Yanqing raised her eyebrows, pretending to be serious: "Sure enough, just like its owner, with many hearts and eyes, she will pretend to be pitiful." After all, a slightly sly smile appeared on her face.

Fu Yanqing was used to being indifferent and mature. This smile was the same as when he was young. Zhao Ziyan hadn't seen it a few times. She was taken aback and watched Fu Yanqing turned and jumped up to the branch.

Zhao Ziyan stood in the same place, watching her leave, the corners of his mouth grew bigger and bigger, burning like a peach blossom. Attaching her happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy to her, I really don't know whether there is more suffering or more happiness.

Although I was struggling and hurting my mind before, the meal was quite harmonious, and even the feeling of discomfort for the two of them in the past few days has disappeared.

Zhao Ziyan still lived up to expectations. He ate three bowls of rice and drank a bowl of soup, while Fu Yanqing looked at her softly.

She handed her a silk scarf and wiped her mouth, and Fu Yanqing said: "Xiao Tuo should set off today, right?"

"Well, all the civil and military people of the Manchu dynasty went to see them off, and they have already left."

"Then, it's time to pay close attention to the military payment. If you want to come, Zhao Mojian has already started to act." Fu Yanqing watched Luo Yin put the things away, and said in a low voice.

"Yes, the money raised and the national treasury's appropriations are already in place. Now people in all grain shops in Beijing and even villages on the outskirts of Beijing are beginning to collect grain." Zhao Ziyan said not hurriedly, looking calm and relaxed.

"You don't seem to be nervous." Fu Yanqing smiled warmly.

"I was originally a idle highness who did nothing. Isn't it normal if I don't do well? Besides, if I act first, I will only startled the prey to run around. If I am in a hurry, they will bite people." Zhao Ziyan smiled purely. Since the founding of Great Xia, the scholars, peasants, industry and commerce, although the merchants are the subordinates, no emperor has ever despised commerce. The strong development momentum of Daxia merchants is also related to people's livelihood, especially food, and it even choked the throat. Once it is tight, not only is it not conducive to the war at the moment, but also causes internal worries, and there are people behind the big merchants who have no support.

According to the spy's return, Zhao Mojian, under the pretext of collecting grain from the West, put pressure on the merchants and people, and insisted on collecting grain at a price 40% lower than the normal price. In the long run, these people will not be able to bear it.

Fu Yanqing nodded in agreement, and immediately thought of one thing. She looked at Zhao Ziyan: "Ziyan, do you know the whereabouts of the remaining treasure scroll?"

Zhao Ziyan pursed his lips and chuckled, "I know, I have already sent someone to pick it up. I originally planned to tell you after I got it. I didn't expect you to ask first."

Fu Yanqing was a little surprised, and she lowered her head to think for a moment: "Are you looking for the treasure of Yongdi?"

Zhao Ziyan tilted her head and said, "Although I want them to have a rift with my father's emperor, I don't want it to fall into my father's hands." After that, she raised her eyebrows with a smile, "So I leave it to her." The share of "Three points is true and seven points are false. I just hope that the owner of Mirage Mountain Villa can give me this face."

Fu Yanqing could only admire at this moment, Zhao Ziyan really surprised her, she only learned the whereabouts of these treasure scrolls through the convenience of her previous life. In the previous life, Zhao Mojian also mobilized all his powers, and it took several years for him to have a clue by coincidence.

"It's too bad." Fu Yanqing smiled and glanced at Zhao Ziyan. Then he spoke again: "Now Xiao Tuo has already set off for Yizhou, and he wants to arrive in Yizhou in half a month. At that time, Zhao Mojian is afraid that he can't wait to **** the army to Yizhou."

"If there is no accident, it should be like this. When the time comes, I will also ask for an order and go together. You can give Zhao Mojian a big gift while she is not in the capital."

Fu Yanqing frowned slightly when she heard it, but then she was calm and did not make a statement.

Zhao Ziyan thought she was thinking about dealing with Zhao Mojian, but he didn't care.

After six days, Emperor Jing mentioned the raising of military allowances in the court hall. Zhao Mo walked to the hall with a letter and was quite energetic: "Return to the emperor, my sons and ministers have personally visited various major commercial houses in the capital these days and worked with them. Haosheng negotiated. The people in Beijing understood the righteousness. Many large businessmen provided food to the court at low prices, and even donated part of it free of charge. Today, the food and grass raised are enough for the army to eat for more than a month."

Emperor Jing was quite happy: "I know that Jian'er won't let me down, reward!"

"Thank you, Father!"

The next minister quickly echoed: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, for solving the current worries."

Jingdi laughed a few times, then moved his gaze to Zhao Ziyan again: "I wonder if Ziyan can gain something?"

Zhao Ziyan shook his head and said dullly: "The son is incompetent, and he has not raised much surplus. Sister Qihuang is very capable. Major merchants are willing to sell food at a four-tier lower price. The son is late."

After hearing this, Jingdi's smile faded a little, but he was still gentle: "You are still young, so you can't do things better than your emperor sister. Be a good scholar in the future, don't be discouraged."

"I would like to follow the instructions of my father! It's just that I have something to do. I don't know if my father can answer?" Zhao Ziyan finished speaking, kneeling respectfully, and for the first time made a request to this man in the temple.

Jingdi was startled, Zhao Mojian also stared sharply at her.

After a moment of silence, Jingdi whispered: "Say."

"My son is bold, please let my father allow me to purchase in the palace and use the right of royal merchants."

When this remark came out, the whole country was a little surprised. Purchasing within the palace has always been in the hands of the six bureaus in the palace, and the palaces of each bureau send people to personally select them. What does an emperor want to do with this errand? This is too obvious if you want to fill your pockets.

Zhao Mojian frowned slightly, then stepped forward and said, "Ayan, don't mess around. Purchasing in the palace is not a child's play."

"Father, my son just wants to share the worries for my father. There are too many people in the palace to purchase goods. Although the palace is deliberate to reduce expenditure, it still remains high. In recent years, the palace has been fighting for years. Presumably the father wants to reduce the expenses. The son-chen has failed his father's expectations this time, so he wants to take this opportunity to make the mistakes. The son-chen promises that he will never let the father down, and the son-chen is also willing to stand. Military order!"

Jingdi kept looking at her. After a long while, he nodded slowly: "Very good, I will wait and see."

After leaving the Zichen Temple, Zhao Mojian sneered and said, "Sister Nine Emperor Gods, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Ziyan stopped, chuckled and shook his head: "Sister Huang just discovered that my mansion is so poor now that she can't even support her own people."

The author has something to say: It’s a bit late, and we will start to talk about love later.
