Inside the palace, the gorgeous palace is surrounded by palace lanterns and surrounded by guards. It can be seen that the palace is heavily guarded.
In the royal study, the desk was filled with memorials, and Ye Yangchenhao was immersed in reviewing the memorials. Suddenly, a guard came in and said: "Your Majesty, my subordinates have found out...
"Who is it?" Ye Yangchenhao suddenly raised his head, his eyes were still cold and his face was still calm, but he was so excited that he interrupted the subordinate's words.
Dong retreat was shocked and thought: What happened to the emperor? Could it be that that woman is very important to him?
"Reporting to the Emperor, her name is Mu Ziyan, and her father is now a merchant. His name is... Mu Nantian!"
When Ye Yangchenhao heard the name, he suddenly felt that it sounded familiar, and some doubts appeared on his handsome face, "Mu Nantian..."
Seeing this, Dong Che continued: "Yes, Your Majesty, you should know him, because during the expedition eight years ago when the Emperor was still the crown prince, there was a second lieutenant named Mu Nantian. However, he returned to the court soon after and resigned without any reason.
!”
Ye Yangchen nodded and said clearly: "No wonder..."
No wonder when he returned from the victorious battle, he couldn't find Mu Ziyan. When he returned to the court, he searched all the ministers, but he couldn't find anyone named Mu...
It turns out that he resigned...
Dong Che was still kneeling on the ground, wondering in his heart, how could the emperor be distracted? Didn't you notice that he hadn't called him up yet? Forgot?
Indeed, Ye Yangchenhao really forgot about Dong Che, who was still kneeling on the ground. He was stuck in his own thoughts at the moment, thinking about a question that he found very confusing: "But, why did she forget me?
"
"Ah? Who?" Dong Che asked confused when he heard what the emperor said.
Ye Yangchenhao turned around and saw that Dong Che was still kneeling on the ground. His face straightened up. He was still the domineering and cold-faced emperor. He looked at Dong Che and said, "Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
In the Imperial Study Room, candlelight flickered, and the shadows reflected on the palace walls were magnificent and moving. The Imperial Study Room was one of the places where the emperor worked and studied, and was relatively quiet. There were two pots of strange-looking flowers placed in the corner of the palace.
, exudes a light fragrance, refreshing, in fact, this kind of flower is called: Night Fanghua. It is a flower that only blooms at night. Smelling the fragrance of this flower can make people refreshing, which is very helpful for staying up late to watch the memorial.
Used by emperors.
It was late at night, but the two people in the imperial study were still talking.
"Would Nantian be willing to do that?" Dong Che raised the important point and continued: "According to what my subordinates have found, this Mu Nantian seems to dislike working with others. There are several people who are bigger and more powerful than him.
Businessmen once wanted to cooperate with him, but he rejected them one by one. He seems to like to do business freely and not be controlled by others, but..."
"Don't worry, no matter how powerful those people are, they are not as powerful as the royal family. Just do as I say!" Ye Yangchenhao waved his hand to stop Dong Che's tirade.
"As you command!"
After Dong Che left, Ye Yangchenhao suddenly felt confused and asked secretly: What is he doing? Why do he want to do that?
In my mind, I suddenly thought of that woman again, that woman named Mu Ziyan...
"Yan'er, why did you forget me? Why?" A thin cold wind blew through the cracks in the window, accompanying his words and blowing the hot breath from his mouth.
The light mist, even though it is not thick or much, confuses the eyes of people in front of them; just like some things that cannot be seen or thought through, but have already been subconsciously acted upon!
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, you should go to rest. Which palace are you going to tonight?" A soft, effeminate voice came into Ye Yangchenhao's ears, recalling his thoughts that had gone far away.
Ye Yangchenhao glanced at the eunuch, a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "Flip the cards!"
The cards were turned over, that is, randomly selected; it seems that the emperor was really fair, and he treated the concubines equally!
"Your Majesty, this is Concubine Ling." The eunuch respectfully showed the front of the sign to Ye Yangchenhao, and inadvertently noticed...the Emperor's obviously stiff expression.
What's going on here?
"Change!" Ye Yangchenhao said, remembering that he couldn't devote himself to Ling Fei several times recently. Even if he had feelings for her, he didn't want her. He wanted to try another woman.
The eunuch turned over the cards for the emperor, picked them up, looked at them, and said, "Your Majesty, this time it's Concubine De."
This time...it sounds like the emperor has turned over the cards many times!
Ye Yangchenhao glanced at the eunuch coldly, with some dissatisfaction in his eyes. When the eunuch saw this, he lowered his head and was shocked. What he said had made the emperor unhappy.
"Go to De Fei's place and ask someone to bring the medicine over to you soon."
The eunuch's name turned out to be Hua Zi. He had been with the emperor for many years and knew the emperor well. He bowed his head and said "yes" and walked out.
This medicine was necessary for the emperor to have sex with his concubines. This was a strange habit of Emperor Ye Yangchenhao. Every time he had sex with his concubines, he would watch the concubine drink the medicine with his own eyes.
Although Hua Zi was full of doubts about this, he never dared to ask the emperor; if this matter spread to the Queen Mother after a long time, then the Emperor would... The Queen Mother has been waiting to hold the emperor's grandson for a long time!
The next day, Dong Che went to the Mu Mansion, but heard that Mr. Mu had not returned from a long trip; therefore, he had no choice but to return to the palace and report to the emperor.
"Travelling?"
"Back to the emperor, yes, my subordinates have checked, and that Mu Nantian is indeed not in the palace." Dong Che has always been puzzled. If the royal family really wants to cooperate with merchants, it must find the richest man. This Mu Nantian is just an ordinary merchant family.
, what are the benefits for the royal family to cooperate with him, and how much silver can it earn?
Ye Yangchenhao put down the pen in his hand and remembered that Shen Mengxi had said that his wedding day would be at the beginning of April. Seeing that it was almost March, how could this Mu Nantian not return home yet?
"Your Majesty, do you think there is an inside story about this matter?" Dong Che didn't think that Mu Nantian would miss him while he was in the house.
Ye Yangchenhao shook his head and said: "What kind of inside story can you have? You have such a rich imagination. I think that the wedding date of Zuo Xiang is in early April. Even if Mu Nantian doesn't come back now, he will definitely come back in the next two days."
I will come back, find him immediately, try to get him to agree to cooperate with the royal family, and implement it immediately!"
Dong Che was even more puzzled, what does it have to do with Mu Nantian if the Left Prime Minister wants to get married?
"Your Majesty, I don't understand. Does Mr. Zuo Xiang's marriage have anything to do with Mu Nantian?" Doubts piled up in his heart, making Dong Che feel uncomfortable. He is a straightforward person and tries his best to answer whatever he has to say. Of course,
He still won't ask anything that shouldn't be asked...well, he doesn't dare to ask!
