Chen Yun came to the study of King Qin Nan, saw him smiling on his face, and looked at himself with a very satisfied eye, he guessed that it was done. "Father." Chen Yun smiled.

  Qin Nanwang nodded and handed Chen Yun a letter from beside him. "Youve come, take a look, Luo Jing has sent a letter. Indeed as you said, that person has agreed, with his help, our great cause is promising."

  Chen Yun smiled and accepted the letter with respect, carefully opening it to read. In recent days, Qin Nanwang had been looking at this son-in-law more and more favorably. This young man was intelligent and talented, but most importantly, he had ambition and courage, which made him even more excellent than himself in this regard. Qin Nanwang knew his own personality, often worrying too much, lacking the decisiveness of this young man.

  These days, Chen Yun treats the people under his command with a different attitude, and Qin Nanwang also gives him some power at the right time. He has only one daughter, Qin Wu, and in the future when he is gone, his daughter will still have to be taken care of by Chen Yun. Perhaps after they succeed in their great cause, this world will belong to the Qin family, and in the future, except for himself, the only ones who can sit on that position are the children born to his daughter.

  Qin Nanwang covered the sharp light in his eyes and boasted: "Thanks to you spreading rumors everywhere and sending people to provoke the refugees, now we just need to wait for the situation to get even more severe, then we can take advantage of it to start a riot."

  Chen Yun smiled wryly and sighed, "Its just that Emperor Sima Jiao is cruel and violent, Im afraid those rioting refugees will suffer. We need to send people to help them as soon as possible. Moreover, many of our people in Luoyang were killed by the emperor, its really a pity. Because of some rumors, he kills people at will, if we dont overthrow this tyrant, more innocent civilians will suffer."

  King Qin Nan didnt think much of it, "Whats the big deal, just a few people died, Ill just send someone else to infiltrate again." Although he said so, but in his heart, he was very satisfied with Chen Yuns character, it was this kind of character that would not easily forget kindness and turn against righteousness.

  Chen Yun left Qin Nan Wangs place and returned to her own courtyard, where she received another letter. The contents were also about Luo Jing, but they were more chaotic. Chen Yuns gaze finally stopped at the end of the letter, which mentioned that Liao Gui Fei was deeply favored by Emperor Sima Jiao and was preparing to go on a trip with him to the Jiuhua Palace to escape the heat.

  In the sweltering summer days of Luo Jing, the weather was unusually hot, and this summer seemed even more abnormal than before. Liao Ting Yan was particularly afraid of the heat, and since she had fallen ill from using too much ice last time, she no longer dared to use it as she pleased after recovering. However, it was really too hot.

  At night, Liao Tingyan slept drowsily and always leaned against Sima Jiao to sleep with him because Sima Jiaos body temperature was just right. However, after a while, she felt hot and pushed Sima Jiao away, rolling to the inner side of the bed. This went on for the whole night, making Sima Jiao feel like he was going to be driven mad, sleeping poorly and getting angrier than usual.

  For the sake of everyone, Sima Jiao quickly decided to take Guifei to Jiuhua Xinggong to avoid the heat. In previous years, Sima Jiao would also go to Jiuhua Xinggong for a while during the summer days, but he had never taken any beauties from the harem with him before. This was the first time this year, and now both inside and outside the palace understood just how much imperial favor Liao Guifei enjoyed.

  When Sima Jiao took Empress Liao to the Jiuhua Palace to avoid the heat, the other beauties in the palace had complex emotions. In previous years, they couldnt wait for Sima Jiao to hurry up and leave for the summer resort, leaving them behind in the Luoyang palace to live a few days of peaceful life without worrying about losing their heads or being skinned alive every day. But this year, Sima Jiao specially brought Empress Liao along, as if once again making it clear to them that they had failed to achieve what they had set out to do, and now someone else was reaping the benefits. How could they feel comfortable with that? The most uncomfortable thing was that they were completely powerless in this situation.

  No matter what others think, Liao Tingyan is the happiest. The Summer Palace... She had mentioned the Summer Palace when watching TV dramas in her previous life, which were usually built in the mountains with a quiet and cool environment.

  She had been in Luoyang for so long that she was a bit tired of it, and just happened to go to the palace to relax and see how the richest and most powerful people in ancient times spent their summer days.

  The horse carriage traveled for several days before finally arriving at the Jiuhua Palace. This place was indeed a treasure land of Feng Shui, and as soon as they got off the carriage, Liao Tingyan felt a refreshing mountain breeze brushing against her face, carrying an extremely clean and refreshing air. The surrounding grass and trees were lush, and the green mountains stretched continuously, causing the temperature to drop suddenly. Liao Tingyan immediately felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her, and she couldnt help but narrow her eyes slightly.

  This time, apart from the Emperor and Guifei, there were many palace maids and guards who had heard rumors about Liao Gui Fei. Outside, people are now saying that she has a heavenly beauty, which is why Sima Jiao was infatuated with her. However, very few people have actually seen Liao Ting Yan in person, so everyones curiosity about her is piqued. Now, on this trip to Jiuhua Palace, the crowd finally has the chance to see the legendary beauty for themselves.

  Liao Tingyan was helped down from the horse-drawn carriage and became intoxicated in the cool mountain breeze of Jiuhua Palace. Her face had no cover, her icy skin and jade-like complexion were crystal clear, her spiritual energy was overflowing, and her white gauze dress fluttered in the wind, truly like a fairy in the clouds, stunning everyone.

  There were many people who stared blankly, and it wasnt until Liao Tingyan entered the Jiuhua Palace that many people came to their senses, thinking to themselves, if I were the emperor, I would also like such a heavenly beauty.

  If Liao Tingyan knew what these people were thinking, she would just roll her eyes a few times. Once, she also thought that Sima Jiao was a lustful and confused person, but now she has realized that being confused is possible, being lustful is debatable, after all, this persons aesthetics are really worrying, and his sexual function is suspicious.

  On the first day of living in the summer resort, Sima Jiao finally didnt get woken up by his queen in the middle of the night. The queen had restored her good sleep and could sleep soundly until dawn. Sima Jiao had a nervous breakdown in the middle of the night, pinching his face and biting his hand, but still couldnt wake her up. Liao Tingyan got up early and found that the maids were looking at her with strange eyes. After taking a look in the mirror, she discovered that there were tooth marks on her cheek, undoubtedly left by Sima Jiaos mischief.

  "......" Thats amazing! How did he bite her and she didnt even wake up?

  Simar Jiao thought she was the most formidable, and even biting her face didnt wake her up. If it werent for seeing that she was still breathing, he would have thought she had stopped breathing altogether. Simar Jiao couldnt figure out why, at first when they started sleeping together, Liao Tingyan would wake up with just a push, but now even biting her wouldnt wake her up - was she truly so unguarded around him or purely lazy?

  Liao Tingyan slept well, and her appetite also improved. With the fresh mountain delicacies in the summer resort, she couldnt help but eat a bit more. Looking around, she saw that the bathing pool in the resort was like a swimming pool, and after washing up, there were even female attendants to give massages. It was truly delightful, and even Sima Jiao didnt enjoy such luxuries.

  Simazhao met with a spy in a corner of the temporary palace. Gao Taibao was stationed in Luoyang, and any news would be reported by his eunuchs.

  "I report to Your Majesty, the previous investigation into the grain stores in Jidi has now been clarified. The grain stored in Jidi was secretly sold and transferred by the Minister of State several years ago. Currently, less than two or three tenths of the original amount remains. Previously, when Your Majesty ordered the opening of Jidi warehouse, the Minister of State secretly transported a large quantity of grain from Duoyuan warehouse to fill it..."

  Duyuan granary is more important than Jidi granary. The reason why Sima Jiao didnt move away from Duyuan granary and opened up Jidi granary earlier was because of this. At the beginning, all the officials were determined not to open up Jidi granary, which made him suspicious. Now it has been proven that Sima Jiao was indeed right.

  His face didnt show much anger, and even seemed too indifferent.

  "In that case, find an opportunity to expose the reduction of grain in Du Yuans warehouse. The officials in charge of both granaries have been dealt with. As for Dou Gu, let him go." Sima Jiao lightly picked up and put down, without any intention of touching Dou Gu.

  The eunuch who reported back was puzzled but did not dare to pry into Your Majestys thoughts, and after making a bow, he retreated.

  Simazhao got up and went to look for Liao Tingyan. As soon as he walked out of the palace, before he could even speak, the palace staff he encountered would voluntarily kowtow and salute him, telling him where the noble consort was without him having to ask.

  It was all like this, as if everyone in the palace was certain that he was wandering around looking for the Imperial Concubine.

  Simmering with this realization, Sima Jiaos footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and he couldnt help but feel a little uneasy. When had things become like this?

  He hadnt thought it through when he heard Liao Tingyans laughter. She often laughed, happily laughing at things she liked, comfortably and contentedly laughing, even pretending to be happy with a fake smile when she wasnt, but this kind of carefree and joyful laughter was rare.

  Simar Jiao stopped in his tracks and stood afar, watching.

  Liao Tingyan was surrounded by several maids, standing in a patch of melons. It was probably planted by the palace people themselves, in a corner of the imperial garden, with vines crawling all over the ground and even extending to the walls and roof, with more than a dozen green melons on the ground. Liao Tingyan bent down to knock on the melon to listen to its sound, while several maids stood by to lift up her skirt and long hair. She seemed to have just bathed not long ago, her long hair still not properly tied up, hanging loose behind her back.

  Liao Tingyan was very enthusiastic, and one by one, she knocked on those melons. Finally, she chose one of them. The female attendants looked at the melon and praised the wise and discerning Empress: "This melon is definitely the sweetest one."

  She picked up the gourd and Liao Tingyan still wanted to hold it herself. The maids quickly swept away a bit of dust from the surface of the gourd before handing it back to her.

  The eunuch standing beside him, dressed in the blue uniform of the imperial palace, whispered something and pointed to a corner of the roof. Liao Tingyan listened, holding the melon and backing away, stepped on a stone and looked up at the roof, a smile appearing on his face.

  Simu Jiao heard her say: "There are indeed two melons growing on the roof, and theyre not small either. Lets pick one down and take a look?"

  As soon as she said this, some diligent palace staff came over, moved a ladder to pick the watermelon and then handed it to her.

  Simazhao finished watching and didnt go over, directly turning around to lie down in the palace. The window was wide open, and the mountain wind outside blew in. Simazhao hadnt lain for long when he closed his eyes and heard a series of footsteps. The footsteps at the front were light and quick, he opened his eyes and took a glance, and indeed saw Liao Tingyan carrying two watermelons over.

  "Your Majesty, I just picked some melons. Would you like to taste them?"

  Simaruo sat up and pushed the two melons in front of his eyes with his hand. "Are there still watermelons grown in this palace?"

  Liao Tingyan smiled and replied, "It was grown by a palace maid in the imperial palace!" Then she also told the interesting story of how gourds had also grown on the roof.

  The melon was cut open, and Sima Jiao rarely took the initiative to eat two more pieces. He didnt eat a little bit like he usually did, as if swallowing poison. He was willing to eat well, and Liao Tingyan felt a little happy. She reacted for a while and thought it was like a bear child who didnt love eating suddenly taking the initiative to eat, and the person watching would also feel relieved.

  Jin De felt a bit relieved after serving Sima Jiao for many years. Lately, Your Majestys appetite and sleep have improved compared to before, all thanks to the good teachings of the noble consort.
