Meng Jia frowned and looked at Mu Yunhan: "You have changed."
Seeing that his words were so accurate, he said that something must have happened to Gu Fenglin. She did not defend herself, but only said that Gu Fenglin still had the final say in matters concerning the Priest Palace.
He said he wanted to cooperate, but she neither refused nor agreed. She asked him to make conditions first and left Gu Fenglin as an escape route.
Mu Yunhan didn't do this in the past, but now she does it with ease.
He actually felt a little uncomfortable.
Mu Yunhan said bluntly: "It sounds like you are rich."
Meng Jia was silent for a moment, then laughed loudly: "It's better to be insidious than to be insidious. Naturally, I still have money. Come, let's talk about the terms..."
Half an hour later, Meng Jia said goodbye and left.
When Mu Yunhan returned to the backyard, Mr. Gu had already left, and Gu Fenglin and Mu Ying were playing chess.
Mu Yunhan was not in a hurry to talk about it. He sat aside and watched them play chess, yelled, reminded Mu Ying, and went to help Gu Fenglin.
Both of them were furious and looked at her angrily: "A true gentleman watches chess without speaking."
She then laughed: "I am busy in the front and you are playing in the back. I am jealous!"
Gu Fenglin said: "Who made you so capable?"
"I'm going to cook." Mu Ying smiled, stood up and left, leaving the two of them to talk.
"He asked us for food. Some people in the capital are about to starve to death. If this continues, the capital will soon be in chaos again..."
Mu Yunhan told Meng Jia's reason for coming, held his chin and said: "He is very smart. He guessed that we encountered a difficult problem and said that we would cooperate, but I didn't dare to believe him."
She told Gu Fenglin what she had said to Meng Jia: "She said that she wanted to support orthodoxy and be honest to the emperor. She wanted to exchange information with us and put on a good show."
Gu Fenglin smiled slightly: "You are really ambitious."
Mu Yunhan heard something: "I remember you approved his fate before, and he will..."
Gu Fenglin said: "It's just like what I said. You are extremely rich and live a safe life. Of course, the so-called fate is not static. Once the luck is there, you still have to work hard."
Mu Yunhan guessed: "Are you still a powerful minister like Prime Minister Meng?"
Gu Fenglin smiled: "Much more powerful than Meng Xiang, Xiongxiong."
Mu Yunhan thought for a while and felt that Meng Jia's recent performance was indeed somewhat interesting, so he asked: "Then should we cooperate with him?"
Gu Fenglin said: "Don't miss any opportunity."
No matter how bleak the road ahead is, as long as there is still a sliver of hope, we must strive for it.
He held Mu Yunhan's hand and said seriously: "I want to be with you all the time, so I will always try my best to fight for it."
I strive to be with you and grow old together.
If not, then I will do my best to protect you and make you safe for the rest of your life.
Mu Yunhan hugged him: "Okay, let's go together."
After some discussion, the couple went their separate ways.
Mu Yunhan was responsible for contacting Meng Jia, and Gu Fenglin went to find Gu Yilan in person.
By the time we met in the evening, everything that needed to be finalized was almost finalized.
The big plan has been decided, all we need is the east wind.
As early as when he knew that the grain had been burned, Mu Yunhan had already arranged for manpower to count the stored grain and calculated how much would be needed to feed the people in Beijing.
All that is missing is an opportunity.
Now, she will use the fact that the court is in urgent need of food to make a deal with the Empress Dowager, and Meng Jia will be the pusher.
Meng Jia acted quickly, and early the next morning, victims of the disaster began to cause trouble in central Beijing.
