Heart with 50 times stronger + action

  Imperial Harem

  Zichen Palace, Ye Chuchu thought that today's events went so smoothly, Empress Shu must have gone mad. The earthquake came as she imagined it would, this time, she must take advantage of the opportunity to increase her good fortune and open up the second layer of spiritual plants in space early.

  As soon as she got the Ling Plant, she could start a new round of cultivation and slowly move closer to success.

  With these treasures in hand, she must make good use of them to strengthen her own power. When the time comes, she will return to the Cultivation Realm, where masters are as numerous as clouds and spiritual energy is abundant. There, she can cultivate better than in this mortal world. Although there are no enemies here, without spiritual energy, it is impossible to achieve immortality. Having grown accustomed to the endless life of the Cultivation Realm, Ye Chuchu had never thought that she would have a day when she would die.

  It's just a pity that countless people are infatuated with fame and wealth, in the process of cultivating immortality, they pursue fame and wealth, and also want to improve their cultivation, but end up doing things that are not in line with being a cultivator.

  Killing and robbing has seemingly become an important means of survival in the Cultivation Realm.

  Recalling the situation where she was being hunted down for being too holy, Ye Chuchu's heart felt a chill. What she wanted had always been simple, but things were never easy to achieve as desired. She had always lived in the pursuit of others.

  However, this life also made her understand that if she is not strong enough, she can only be manipulated by others. Only when you are stronger and more capable than others can you live the life you want.

  Having grown accustomed to the stimulation of the Cultivation Realm, the comfort of the Mortal Realm could only dull her will. Before she returned to the Cultivation Realm with her powerful strength, she couldn't let her resolve wane. She also wanted to rely on her own power to create everything that belonged to her in this mortal world.

  Things will definitely go as she imagined, and on the road to victory, there is never a lack of people who want to become stronger.

  Thinking that Feng Shao Han would not choose to come to the palace even if he had time, Ye Chuchu left with peace of mind. On the other hand, Empress Shu looked at her own palace which was full of scars and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. Someone must have done something behind her back, otherwise why would only her palace be damaged while others were fine?

  "Han Ju, send a few people to investigate for me, is this heaven's will or human doing?" Shu Fei said calmly.

  "Yes." Hanju led the order and immediately sent someone to do this thing.

  On the other side, Xianfei and Huifei exchanged a glance before quickly turning away and facing Shufei. "Shufei sister, do you think it's really possible that it was done on purpose?" Huifei asked cautiously.

  "This thing, anyone can have, especially her." As she spoke, a gleam of resentment flashed in the eyes of Princess Shu.

  "Sister said is Guifei." Huifei's eyes lit up and responded accordingly.

  "Who else could it be besides her? Thinking back to what she said to me that day, perhaps she was waiting for this day to arrive." The more Shu Fei thought about it, the more likely it seemed that Ye Chuchu was behind it.

  "But, sister, we don't have any evidence on our hands, and the Empress also followed us that day. Besides, in such a large palace, where can people cause damage?" The wise consort expressed her own opinion.

  "Don't you forget what her family does?" The Empress coldly snorted and said in annoyance.

  Shu Fei said this, Hui Fei and Xian Fei thought of Ye Jianhong, the great general of the Imperial Court of Zixiao. If the Noble Consort wanted to blow up a palace, it was still possible.

  "What should we do next then?" Huifei asked immediately.

  "Hmph, let's wait and see. For now, I'll await Father's orders." said the Empress calmly.

  "Yes." Consort Hui and Consort Xian replied in unison.

  On the way back to the palace, Xianfei thought to herself, this Shufei is sometimes clever and sometimes foolish. Is she really clever or foolish? Remembering her father's instructions, Xianfei immediately put aside her speculation, no matter what, for now, she shouldn't be the one to take the lead in the harem.

  Among the people, because there was advance notice this time, there were not many casualties in the folk, only every household's house big and small had some damage, plus these days may have aftershocks, basically no one dared to return home to sleep.

  Li Xing and others were ordered to handle these matters, but they felt somewhat resentful in their hearts. Although doing these things could bring benefits, in reality, there were not many people who dared to slack off on these matters, especially those who wanted to create their own great undertakings.

  Feng Shao Han had seen this point and no matter what, as long as they did something wrong, Feng Shao Han would have the opportunity to attack them.

  So for disaster relief, they can only do their best in these matters. However, doing their best does not mean that they cannot benefit from it.

  Each family has its own industry under it, and they hand these things over to their own stores to take charge of. In this way, they can do things for themselves and also get the job done.

  Li Xing passed this matter down level by level, so that all over the country, Li's family industries could take it seriously and do a good job. This was a great opportunity for him to gain fame.

  But Li Xing forgot that just because he could do well under his eyelids didn't mean he could do well in other places.

  This gave Ye Chuchu and Su Qingge both a great advantage.

  At this time, Ye Chuchu and Su Qingge were both active in Xicheng, which was relatively far from the capital city.

  Here, Li Xing handed over the money to the local government office, while also instructing his own people to do this business. However, some members of the Li family, in order to make a profit, deliberately raised the price of the goods, which not only enraged the government office but also caused the citizens who knew the truth to scold them severely.

  At this time, Su Qingge's industry under his flag entered everyone's line of sight. He sold the large amount of wood and grain accumulated in his hands at cost price, solving the problems of the local government and the people.

  In order to provoke the dissatisfaction of the local Li family business people, Su Qingge again acquired the things in the hands of the Li family at a price higher than the market price at that time. Although some money was lost temporarily, these were just a drop in the bucket for Su Qingge, and this money would be easily earned back in the near future.

  Two people in the city with the same situation walked through it, using different paths to benefit themselves and the common people, and for this reason, Su Qingge's industry gained a good reputation among the common people.

  The actions of two people elsewhere did not attract Li Xing's attention at all.

  There were also rumors circulating among the people that this disaster was related to the Empress Shu's enthronement, and even more so, there were rumors that the Empress Shu had been demoted to a cold palace, which became increasingly intense until thousands of people jointly petitioned.

  Early morning

  "Your Majesty, the people are now stirred up and worried that if things continue like this, they will lose the hearts of the people. Please make a decision as soon as possible and withdraw your edict." An official brought up an old matter again.

  "Ning Wang, have you made any progress on the investigation I asked you to conduct?" Feng Shao Han asked Feng Xuefeng.

  "My younger brother investigated and found that this matter was caused by the private conversations of several old servants in the Zhou family, which slowly spread. King Ning said seriously, 'But whether it was instructed by Minister Zhou is temporarily unknown.'"

  "Zhou Ai Qing, how do you explain this?" Feng Shao Han's eyes coldly stared at Zhou Hu.

  "I am innocent! I and Brother Li are colleagues, and we have a good private relationship. How could I do such a thing?" Zhou Hu loudly protested his innocence.

  "It's probably because of the harem's favoritism, the Emperor dotes on Consort Shu but neglects Consort Hui, this is a fact that everyone can see. Perhaps Minister Zhou is trying to get justice for his own beloved daughter." Another official chimed in.

  "Feng Shao Han threw the question at Li Xing: "Li Ai Qing, I don't know what you think?"

  "I think there must be some misunderstanding. Having worked with Minister Zhou for so many years, I don't believe he is the kind of person who would do such a thing." Li Xing said resolutely, although his words expressed disbelief, in his heart he had already started to worry. If his daughter couldn't become the empress, it would be most beneficial to the other two families. As long as it wasn't Ye Chuchu, it wouldn't make much difference to the emperor.

  "If Li Ai Qing says so, then this matter will be handed over to you for handling." Feng Shao Han immediately handed the matter over to Li Xing. Since he didn't believe it, then he could go and investigate himself.

  "I have received your orders." Li Xing said.
