Wu Yuanqing was comfortably sipping new tea and eating courgettes at home. Hearing the eunuch conveying the imperial edict, Wu Yuanqing hurriedly rode a carriage into the palace without stopping.

"Foreign Minister Wu Yuanqing pays homage to the Queen."

After Wu Yuanqing paid his respects, Wu Zetian ignored him at all and just concentrated on reviewing the memorial.

"Foreign Minister Wu Yuanqing, pays homage to the Queen."

Wu Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, thinking Wu Zetian didn't hear it, and bowed again.

"I heard it."

Wu Zetian still didn't look at him, which made Wu Yuanqing feel frightened, wondering what his little sister was going to do.

"Little sister, what's wrong?"

Wu Yuanqing stood up and was about to come forward, but he heard Wu Zetian slap the table.

"Wu Yuanqing, kneel down for me."

Facing the furious Wu Zetian, Wu Yuanqing shuddered and quickly knelt down again.

"The Queen, the foreign minister, the foreign minister, have made a mistake?"

"I want to ask you, have you recently snatched Zhang Sunyan's Haagen-Dazs under my banner?"

Wu Zetian raised his phoenix eyebrows, and the cold air on his body was like an abyss, rushing towards Wu Yuanqing.

"Queen, don't listen to Xinxiao's little provocation."

Wu Yuanqing sweated on his forehead. He had been a strong girl since he was a child. He didn't feel anything about it before, but now he truly understands what the power of God is.

"Xiao Xiao? Your Majesty personally warned me about this matter. Do you know what this means?"

Wu Zetian looked at her useless eldest brother and really wanted to kill him with a knife.

I treat you well. Not only do I give generous salaries to high-ranking officials, but I also often give you money and jewelry. Why do you still give me trouble for nothing?

"What does it mean?"

Wu Yuanqing was a little confused. Why would the emperor care about a small Haagen-Dazs? Is there something in it that he couldn't see?

"You have made His Majesty unhappy by taking advantage of my status to act recklessly in Chang'an. For him to talk about this now means that he is disappointed in you and me.

If you dare to cause trouble again, I will kill you first without Your Majesty taking action."

Wu Zetian was depressed. Her brother was really stupid and cute. He couldn't understand such a simple truth, which really disappointed her.

"I am unjust. In fact, the foreign minister did this for the sake of the Queen.

If I win Haagen-Dazs, it will be like cutting off the Changsun family's financial path.

If Changsun Yan doesn't sell it, I will instigate the other party to take action against me, and then Your Majesty can use this to target the Changsun family.

My thoughts can be learned from heaven and earth, and I hope the Queen will understand them clearly."

Hearing that Wu Yuanqing quit, what does it mean to be disappointed and what does it mean to act recklessly?

Although I have my own selfish motives for doing this, in the final analysis it is for you, my sister.

I won't be happy if you say that, brother.

"Are you worthy of being involved in the government affairs of the court? If you forcefully buy Haagen-Dazs now, if Chang Sun Wuji takes advantage of it, do you know what kind of situation I will be in?"

Wu Zetian was depressed, brother, brother, the most you can think about is how to enjoy the rest of your life.

Just don't cause any trouble for me.

"What the Queen teaches is that foreign ministers do not think carefully."

Wu Yuanqing was depressed. The good guy's own plan was so perfect, why couldn't his sister take the stage?

But she is the queen, the foundation for the Wu family to settle down in Chang'an, so I still have to listen to her words.

If he really made Wu Zetian unhappy and ordered him to be driven back to his hometown, he would lose more than he gained.

"It's good to know. You prepare ten thousand coins immediately. I will send someone to Changsun Yan to settle the matter. From now on, wherever there is Changsun Yan, stay away from me and don't cause any more trouble. Otherwise, don't blame me.

Don’t miss the love of brotherhood.”

Seeing Wu Yuanqing admitting his mistake, Wu Zetian didn't criticize him any more. After all, he was his brother, and blood is thicker than water.

"I, I, have no money."

When Wu Yuanqing heard that he was asked to take out 10,000 yuan, his whole body collapsed.

I spent 50,000 guan on Haagen-Dazs, and with the opening of four new stores, I have already spent 77,888 guan on my hands. How can I still have 10,000 guan to give to Changsun Yan?

"Wu Yuanqing, I usually give you a lot of rewards, but you can't even get out a mere 10,000 yuan. Do you really want money at the expense of your life?"

Wu Zetian is almost depressed. How long has it been? You still can’t part with a little money.

Are all members of the Wu family so short-sighted?

This will make me unable to rely on you in the future.

Wu Yuanqing told Wu Zetian all the expenses with a grimace, and then looked at her miserably.

That means you can do whatever you want. Anyway, I don’t have any money left.

"That's it, that's it. I'll give you the money. Go home and let me think about it."

Seeing that her eldest brother really had no money, Wu Zetian had no choice but to promise Li Zhi to provide the money. Now that the other party had no money, she could only do it for her as her younger sister.

"I'll go back and think about my mistakes right now."

Wu Yuanqing stood up depressed, rubbed his legs and left the palace gate.

"Come here, prepare a gold cake worth 10,000 copper coins and give it to Your Majesty. Tell him that this is from Wu Yuanqing."

"yes."

Soon the palace attendants brought a box to Li Zhi's palace, saying that it was Wu Yuanqing's compensation for Haagen-Dazs.

After getting the money, Li Zhi asked Ruian to prepare one thousand taels of gold, and they would leave the palace together to Lan Kwai Fong.

When Li Yanran came to Lan Kwai Fong, Chang Sun Yan immediately told Li Zhi about his arrival.

"You said Lao Li is here? Are you going to ask Empress Wu for an explanation?"

Changsun Yan nodded beside him.

"Why didn't you stop him? Why didn't you say we already had a countermeasure? Why did you let Lao Li wade through this muddy water?"

Li Yanran kicked Changsun Yan's body, her eyes full of anger.

"I stopped him, but I didn't. Besides, he didn't give me a chance to tell us how to deal with it."

Changsun Yan rubbed his buttocks and felt aggrieved.

I wanted to stop him, but he was the current emperor.

I have no official position, I am just a dandy, how can I stop the emperor's control?

Besides, what's the matter with him asking for an explanation? After all, he also has a share in Haagen-Dazs.

He is the one who distributes money, but he is not there when things go wrong. How can I reason with him?

"You are really going to piss me off. I don't care. You send someone to find Lao Li right away and stop me no matter what. Otherwise, I won't take you to play."

"Who is this so angry about?"

Just when Li Yanran was angrily scolding Changsun Yan, the door of the elegant room opened wide, and Li Zhi stepped in with a happy face.

"Old Li?"

"Master Li?"

The two of them were stunned when they saw Li Zhi leaving and coming back. Li Yanran glanced at Changsun Yan.

You owe me an explanation. Didn't you say that Lao Li went to Empress Wu to ask for an explanation?

What to say now.

Feeling Li Yanran's oppression, Changsun Yan could only tremble and ask Li Zhi how he was going.

"With me taking action, success will be achieved immediately, but you have already signed a contract with Wu Yuanqing, and it is impossible to come back. I can only ask him to allocate an additional 20,000 yuan as compensation."

Li Zhi raised his head and looked at Changsun Yan with disdain.

I don’t know who said I’m henpecked. Look, I’m not here to get you back.

"How much? Twenty thousand guan?"
