Chapter 1067
Seeing Qin Mang's miserable appearance, Shangguan Wan'er was shocked. She thought that when she was away, the emperor might have been beaten up too!
Qin Mang is young, and it doesn't matter how badly he is beaten, but what if the emperor is beaten to a pulp?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan'er immediately went to check on the retired emperor. As soon as she pushed the door open, she saw Lian'er lying in the retired emperor's arms, and the retired emperor looked very happy.
"Grandpa Emperor! You guys!"
Shangguan Wan'er was shocked.
"Ah! Miss! I! The Emperor caught a cold last night and was shivering the whole time. Lian'er was worried that he would get cold, so she used her body to keep him warm. It's not what you think, Miss. It's really not!"
Lian'er said hurriedly, but her body showed no intention of coming out.
The retired emperor also woke up at this time. When he saw Shangguan Wan'er, a flash of shock crossed his eyes. Then he looked at the face in his arms and realized that it was Lian'er who had kept him warm last night!
It turned out to be Lian'er!
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief, but he also felt a little regretful!
"Wan'er! Grandpa Emperor was shaking all night and couldn't remember anything. Lian'er must have done this for my sake!"
The emperor explained for Lian'er.
Shangguan Wan'er was skeptical. Even if the emperor really needed warmth, couldn't the old eunuchs and palace maids help? At the very least, you wouldn't be so naked!
Although she didn't believe it in her heart, she still said obediently, "So that's how it is. Then let Lian'er serve Grandpa Huang from now on. Grandpa Huang, Wan'er didn't sleep all night, so I'm going back to my room to rest first!"
After saying that, Shangguan Wan'er turned around and went back to the house.
Not only did she not sleep that night, she also kept exercising!
After returning to the room, Shangguan Wan'er closed the door tightly. She made up her mind that she would never let Lian'er approach her room again!
Thinking of this little girl lying in the arms of the retired emperor, Shangguan Wan'er felt a chill!
After Shangguan Wan'er left, Lian'er hurriedly got up to dress the emperor. Qin Mang was shouting in the room that he was hungry, but no one paid any attention to him!
Qin Yu also encountered some new troubles!
Although he controlled the price of grain and refined salt, the aristocratic families were not so easy to deal with. Recently, no one knew who came up with the idea, but they began to buy up silk on a large scale!
Moreover, the price offered was very high, which led many people to start raising silkworms!
This was originally a good thing, but the bad thing was that the people wanted to make more money, and compared with silk, the income from grain was negligible, so the people in the southern border began to switch from rice to mulberry on a large scale!
"I have to say, Prime Minister Shangguan's move is simply brilliant. Since force isn't working, let's try being soft on the people of the Southern Territory. Let's let them make money and see if they can!"
"Profit! Of course we have to make money. Planting mulberry trees and raising silkworms can bring profits many times higher than farming! These people are short-sighted and are just a bunch of lowly fools. Of course they have to make money!"
"Let them make some money first. When they run out of food, we'll start selling flour and increase the price a hundredfold. They'll have to buy it even if they don't want to!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't allow us to sell grain at too high a price, so we won't sell grain anymore. We'll sell flour. He can't control our prices anymore!"
"Haha! As long as we can make the Southern Territory a mess, the Prime Minister will be able to kill the Crown Prince. Then, everything in the Southern Territory will be under our control!"
The nobles gathered together to discuss how to deal with Qin Yu next!
Little did they know that Qin Yu had already discovered their plan!
