"You need money and people to start a business. However, the business has been bleak over the years and the income has been quite low. It has only improved in the past two years. If you have paid attention to the prince, you will know that he is a wizard in business. If you had to cooperate with him last time, Sister Yuan'er How can everything go smoothly there?"

Xing Zhan felt ashamed for a moment, knowing that what she said was the truth, and heard Xiao Lingyao say: "I know how my consort behaves. My uncle is old, so don't think too much, his health is important."

This was said with great concern, but Xing Zhan felt something different, and his palms were sweating slightly. In the past, His Highness only followed his uncle. After entering the palace, he slowly grew up and became more and more independent in his own opinions.

He knew that his uncle's thoughts were not excessive. He was afraid that His Highness was already dissatisfied with him and was just holding back.

Seeing Xing Zhan's evasive eyes, Xiao Lingyao changed her sharpness and said, "You definitely didn't come to Sui City just to send these banknotes this time. Those businesses were established by my mother in Jiangbei many years ago. After such a lapse of time, After many years, the business name is still there, but my mother-in-law has disappeared."

When she said these words, she looked exactly like before. Xing Zhan's heart softened and he said: "In these years, it's not like I haven't sent people to look for my wife. It's just that I couldn't find her before I took the people back."

Xiao Lingyao said: "Even if your Majesty can't find someone today, my uncle can't find him either. It makes sense that I don't think much about it."

Xing Zhan always felt that there was something in her words, and comforted him: "If nothing happens, Madam, I will definitely come to find Your Highness."

Really? Xiao Lingyao smiled coldly. If everything was safe, A Niang would definitely come to look for their siblings. But now her life and death were unknown, and she couldn't help but think too much about it. During the nine years she had been with Emperor Yuan, although he was very important to the country, he had no regard for her. My mother's affection does not seem to be fake.

Over the years, the Feilong Army has gone to no less than a hundred places where A Niang is suspected to be, but none of them have been found. As for the information provided by Zuo Pingdao, what Xiao Xue said is an old story and may not be true. A Niang may have come. Passing through Sui City, unfortunately things are always changing.

Who knows what happened after A Niang came to Sui City?

Xiao Lingyao was thinking in her mind: "The consort and I have made great profits by collaborating now. Please don't worry too much. My brother has not yet told me what else I have to do when I come to Sui City this time. I may need my help."

Xing Zhan noticed the alienation in her words, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "There are dozens of descendants of the previous dynasty in the imperial examination this time. My uncle asked me to come and take care of you. Your Highness does not need to show up for this matter. After the examination is over, I will see you again." Return to Jiangbei."

He kept claiming that he was a minister, and he was not a minister of Dongyue, but a minister of Daqi. This was something that my uncle had always insisted on.

"What is your identity in coming to the Princess Mansion this time?" Xiao Lingyao is no longer the ignorant girl she was five years ago. Xing Zhan dares to step into the Princess Mansion without fear of his current identity being exposed.

Xing Zhan did not expect that she would be so keen now, and her attitude no longer dared to be the same as before. He took a step back and said, "The princess's mansion recently purchased a batch of ingredients from Jiangbei, and I escorted them here."

In this case, it was reasonable to enter the princess's mansion. Xing Zhan took out a stack of banknotes and presented them: "Your Highness, please check them."

Xiao Lingyao looked at the two thousand taels of silver notes, her mind changed slightly, and she said: "Brother, do you know how much income the Prince Consort has from just one income? Over ten thousand taels, I, as the so-called spokesperson, only took 10%, but I also got thousands. There is more than enough."

Xing Zhan's eyes shook a few times and he looked a little embarrassed. Xiao Lingyao Quan pretended not to notice and said, "Do you know how long it took him to harvest these more than ten thousand taels?"

The other party was at a loss for words, so Xiao Lingyao sighed: "One month."

Xing Zhan couldn't hide the look of shock in his eyes, and Xiao Lingyao asked: "Uncle, I want this palace to eradicate such a person?"

"Your Highness has profound thoughts. I will definitely explain it to my uncle."

Xiao Lingyao did not comment, and sighed: "My uncle once said that after I recognized my father, I walked two paths with him, but these two paths must complement each other. Now, my uncle not only has to

Look, do you still want to interfere?"

Xing Zhan swallowed hard and knelt down: "I don't dare, uncle, he just has a great cause..."

"That's enough. I don't know that Zuo Shiqi communicated with my uncle." Xiao Lingyao said calmly, Xing Zhan's expression changed. Seventeen is the number of the secret guard, only numbers. Left is the formation, and Zuo Shiqi is the general.

Xiao Lingyao's missions were sent to Jiangbei.

They thought they had done it perfectly, but Xiao Lingyao had noticed it a long time ago and still let it go. What did this mean? Xing Zhan didn't dare to think about it anymore. Maybe the people in Jiangbei had underestimated His Highness's growth.

Xiao Lingyao collected the banknotes and said, "Shopkeeper Xing will personally escort you. Thank you for your hard work, Bai Qian."

Bai Qian, who had been waiting outside, came in, glanced at Xing Zhan, and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Xing, please come over here, and we can finish the inventory after the inventory is completed over there. It's been a hard journey all the way, so please move on and have some snacks."

After Xing Zhan left, Xiao Lingyao's face completely cooled down. Cao Jing came in immediately. Although the door of the Jingyi Hall was closed just now, every move, word and deed inside could not be hidden from his ears. Seeing her unfazed expression, he also

Speechless.

After a long time, Cao Jingcai said slowly: "Your Highness, if you want to protect your consort, there is no need to compete with uncle like this. Does Your Highness..."

"Keeping him is one of them, but Cao Jing, don't you think that my uncle is getting more and more restrained now?" Xiao Lingyao said: "I'm afraid only he knows the actual profit of those shops in Jiangbei. I am not without doubts in my heart.

.”

"He has placed more people around us than Zuo Shiqi. You also know this." Xiao Lingyao's eyes became sharp: "I was young when I was young about the disappearance of my mother, but later I thought of some details, which made me have to

care."

Cao Jing looked slightly cold: "But it has something to do with uncle?"

"In the past, when I was in Beiguan, my mother-in-law said she had something to do and she left, leaving us to stay where we were. But then the people who were chasing us came, and Uncle Cao and his friends were splashed with blood on the spot. You and I both came out alive from the river of blood. It was them

He protected our lives with his body and blood."

Cao Jing couldn't remember why, and a sadness flashed across his eyes.

"I was young at that time and didn't remember much. After I entered the palace, some memories flashed back. Before I left, my mother-in-law told me that she would meet with my uncle to move rescue troops together. Maybe we could have a comfortable life.

Wherever you go, you won’t have to be homeless again.”

"Really?" This is the first time Cao Jing heard Xiao Lingyao mention this.

In order to save Qin Feng's life, she gave him an undated letter of peace and told him to hide it from his uncle. She thought she was just being merciful to the consort, but she didn't expect there was another layer to it. She was on guard against her uncle early!

"Do you remember that when uncle came to find me, he didn't mention a word about meeting grandma?" Xiao Lingyao said: "I thought about it again and again and confirmed that grandma had mentioned uncle's name, but uncle didn't mention it at all.
