"He has something else to do, so he's leaving first."
After the young woman finished speaking, she thought for a moment and added,
"But before he left, he left some money for us. Today at noon, my mother will take you to Fanlou to eat big chicken drumsticks, okay?"
"Okay, mother treats Susu best!"
The little girl waved her hands happily and jumped back and forth in the yard.
Seeing her excited look, a smile appeared on the young woman's complex cheeks.
…
palace, study,
Yang Dong stood behind the empress, gently rubbing her shoulders while continuing:
"...So I think the tax bank case needs to be investigated clearly."
"Only in this way can we find out the real culprit behind the scenes."
The empress was deeply convinced, and her eyes were also shining with brilliance.
As the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she finally managed to deal with Lin Chunqiu, but now she discovered that there was another force hidden deeper.
The key is that emperors have never felt safe. Coupled with Yang Dong's exaggeration, the empress could hardly sleep at night.
"Xiao Dongzi, the tax and bank case is old after all. Are you sure?"
Hearing this, Yang Dong shook his head slightly.
"To be honest, I'm not sure about this matter. All the people who were related to it are dead, and Mr. Xu, who retired from old age and returned to his hometown, is probably no longer alive now. It is not easy to investigate what happened back then. thing."
The empress nodded slightly, but a hint of coldness flashed across her majestic face.
"I originally thought that Lin Chunqiu was Da Zhou's most serious concern, but now it seems that Lin Chunqiu is not the only one who is most concerned."
"Xiao Dongzi, today's Great Zhou is in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. I don't allow any force to interfere in it. Do you understand?"
Yang Dong nodded lightly,
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I have made a decision in my mind on this matter."
"So I came here today specifically to ask for an imperial edict from His Majesty. I plan to visit Mr. Xu's hometown."
"When the time comes, there will inevitably be a drama between the real and fake daughter."
When the empress heard what he said, her frown slightly relaxed.
"Xiao Dongzi, with you by my side, I feel a lot more at ease in my heart. But...according to the records in the file, this Xu Aiqing's hometown is in Jiangnan. Do you know that Jiangnan has always been independent of the Great Zhou Dynasty, where there are many wealthy families, and they are surrounded by famous families? Monopolized by prominent families.”
"Even if it is my imperial edict, I'm afraid it won't have much effect there."
"Furthermore, these aristocratic families have been in Jiangnan for hundreds of years, and their heritage is even richer than that of the royal family."
"Therefore, I don't want you to conflict with them unless necessary. Do you understand?"
Speaking of this, the empress' tone suddenly became softer.
"I...I can't lose you, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Ziyue. I have a sense of discretion in my heart."
As he spoke, his palms suddenly lowered.
Ji Ziyue let out a cry, and a blush quickly rose on her cheeks.
Yang Dong continued to talk while playing with it:
"Actually... I don't want to run back and forth, but if I don't run back and forth, my Ziyue won't be able to sleep well."
"If she can't sleep well, then I will feel bad."
"So, I can't help it, alas! I was born to work hard..."
"You know how to be obedient!"
Ji Ziyue half leaned in Yang Dong's arms, her eyes seemed to be closed, her red lips opened slightly, and she exhaled a breath of hot breath.
"Xiao Dongzi, I understand what you mean."
"When Da Zhou settles down, I want to... give birth to a son for you!"
…
Outside the study,
Qingniao gritted his teeth and reached down his jade hand.
"Yang Dong, this shameless bastard, actually bullied His Majesty in broad daylight!"
"Your Majesty, my Majesty, why did you let him bully you?"
…
When Yang Dong left the study again, it was already the next morning.
He never dreamed that the empress who knew that he was about to leave Beijing would become so proactive.
Yang Dong rubbed his sore waist, but a man-like smile appeared on his cheeks.
Overall, although I still have to go out for a while, this trip is really worth it.
He had worked hard for a long time before, and he had just enjoyed the knowledge that Yourong would not agree to anything.
Although the emperor's ventriloquism is not exquisite enough, the taste in it is not enough for outsiders to understand.
…
Back to the small building in Xichang,
Yao Jia saw Yang Dong's tired look and immediately came over feeling very distressed.
"Mr. Yang, now the Great Zhou Dynasty is full of waste and waiting for prosperity. I know you are very busy."
"But no matter how busy you are, you still have to pay attention to your body!"
"You don't look good right now. I've made a bowl of ginseng soup for you. You can drink it while it's hot!"
Feeling Yao Jia's concern, Yang Dong felt warm in his heart.
When he took a sip of ginseng soup, he didn't feel too much Chinese medicinal flavor. Instead, it had a sweet taste with a touch of floral aroma.
It's obvious that Yao Jia put a lot of thought into this bowl of ginseng soup.
Thinking of this, he patted Yao Jia's shoulder lovingly.
"You've been working really hard these days."
"Actually... you can just leave these to others. You are my personal maid, so you don't need to do it yourself."
Who knew that Yao Jia shook his head firmly when he heard this.
"Mr. Yang, this is wrong."
"As Mr. Yang's personal maid, I should naturally take good care of Mr. Yang's life."
"Besides, besides..."
Yao Jia kept talking for a long time, his cheeks flushed red, but there was no follow-up.
Yang Dong naturally knew what this girl was thinking.
It's just that she is still young, so Yang Dong really can't do anything.
But facing a girl who only thinks about him, how can he not feel distressed?
So he thought for a moment, raised his arms, and took Yao Jia into his arms.
Yao Jia felt the hot embrace, and her delicate body trembled slightly. This was the first time in her life that she had such close contact with a man.
The hot smell almost made her dizzy.
She didn't know what to do next, so she just closed her beautiful big eyes shyly.
Her delicate body was tense and she bit her lower lip lightly, not knowing what was going on in her mind.
Seeing her look like this, Yang Dong only found it very interesting.
He carefully studied the beauty in his arms, but suddenly noticed the thick dark circles under her eyes.
It seems that he didn't come back all night, and this girl also waited for him all night.
Thinking of this, Yang Dong felt a little distressed.
He gently picked up Yao Jia and then carefully placed her on the soft bed.
Feeling Yang Dong's movements, Yao Jia's little heart suddenly became nervous and kept beating.
Mr. Yang, does he want to be with me...
What should I do?
At this moment, many complicated thoughts suddenly appeared in Yao Jia's simple mind.
Just when she was considering whether to take the initiative to unbutton her clothes, she suddenly felt that the warm embrace actually let go of her.
