Chapter 232: The Prince and Concubine Are in Collusion
"Where have you been? Why did you come back so late?" Luo Yunchen was looking at the drawings at the desk when he heard the sound and rubbed his temples and asked
Qing Ning didn't say a word. Just when he sat down, he looked at him and walked behind him again and pressed his hands for him.
Luo Yunchen was not used to this kind of treatment. He turned his head and asked, "What's wrong? Your gentleness makes me very uneasy."
Qing Ning did not answer his words. After looking at the drawings on the table carefully, he sighed softly, "If the construction of the canal succeeds this time, you will have made a contribution this time. You can't wait to take it."
Do you have the right? But are you really sure you can chew through this tough nut?"
Her hand clicked somewhere on the drawing
"You have to chew it if you can't chew it off." He was not surprised that she could see the benefits. She had given him too many surprises. If one day she wore court clothes and went to court to participate in politics, he probably wouldn't be too surprised.
"No wonder the housekeeper is always guarding the door in a jealous manner recently. He is afraid that the family members of those wealthy businessmen will come to the house to look for me, right? Do you think I will really be greedy for that money?" Qing Ning pulled up a chair next to him.

If you want to replenish the national treasury without increasing taxes, you can only rely on these wealthy businessmen to fill it. The emperor will never offend himself.
, then the prince can’t understand why the emperor has entrusted such a big task to you? Even if you handle this matter selflessly, what if you have real power in the court? Without them as a backing chair, even if you do it in the future,
Qing Ning did not dare to say the word "emperor". She swallowed those two words forcefully, and her heart ached.
What could she blame him for? For overestimating his abilities or for being reckless and impulsive?
From what she said, he must have thought earlier than she did that it was just a fake Qing Ning who appeared, and everything she worried about had happened. He was so eager to seize power, and even lost his calm sense of proportion.
just for a purpose
For Qingning, for Yue Haoshan
The appearance of fake Qing Ning really aroused the guilt buried in his heart
Qing Ning was anxious, and even more distressed. She said this because she just wanted him to think about whether there was only one way to gain power. Why should he choose the one that was most unfavorable to him?
