When Chu Zhao returned to Qionghuayuan, the first thing he did was visit Aao.

The young man has a strong body. After two days of rest, his complexion and wounds recovered quickly.

Xu knew that he could always be with Chu Zhao from now on, and the smile on Aao's face was more than before. A casual word from Chu Zhao could make him smile.

Chu Zhao couldn't figure out why he was so happy about his injuries, so he scolded him angrily: "I told you before, before you are not strong enough to compete with the prince, don't easily provoke him for me. You Why don’t you listen?”

"I can't bear it." A'ao said, "I can't just watch him... bully you."

He actually wanted to say "kiss you", but he changed his words temporarily, with a suspicious blush appearing on his face.

"Princess, you don't like the prince, right?" he asked tentatively.

Chu Zhao glanced at him: "Why do you ask this?"

"Nothing to do." A'ao asked again, "You and the prince... didn't consummate their marriage, right?"

Chu Zhao laughed and raised his eyebrows at him: "Do you think so?"

Aao blushed and said, "You didn't even let the prince kiss you, so it shouldn't be possible, right?"

Chu Zhao raised his hand and slapped him on the head: "Take good care of your injury. What are you kiddos worrying about?"

"I'm not……"

Aao was about to say that he was not a child, but Qingyu came over and interrupted him.

Qingyu said that someone from Rong'an Hall sent word that those ladies were here again and were waiting to see the princess at the old lady's place.

Chu Zhao let A'ao continue to rest, and he took Qingyu and Hongxiao to Rong'an Hall. On the way, he told the two of them not to do anything when they got there, but to concentrate on listening to the people's gossip, so that she would not be distracted and miss something. .

At present, she has too few channels for obtaining information, and these women from wealthy families are her most important sources of information.

In a few days, when she had sorted out the Divine Medical Hall, she would use it as a base to collect and transmit information, so that everything would no longer have to be done under Murong Xiao's nose.

Thinking of gathering intelligence, Chu Zhao couldn't help but think of a person.

In that life, Xiao Chi died in battle. She carried Xiao Chi's child and ascended the throne holding Xiao Chi's Qingshuang Sword, announcing to the world that Xiao Chi was the only man in her life. Who dared to persuade her to marry her? Then he chopped off someone's head with Xiao Chi's sword.

This move completely cut off the courtiers' attempts to persuade her to marry another emperor. In the following decades, no one dared to mention this to her.

And she devoted her whole life to governing the country and educating the prince. There was no other man around her, only the eunuch chief Xu Hui stayed with her year after year, from her youth until the end of her life.

Xu Hui is very capable, but also a ruthless character. He is loyal to her, but cruel and cold-blooded to others.

In order to collect information for her, Xu Hui set up an organization called Jinyuwei. Jinyuwei's eyes were spread all over the world, and any slight change of officials in any place could not escape their eyes.

Before she died, she entrusted the prince to Xu Hui and asked Xu Hui to help the prince stabilize the world.

In fact, the world was Qingming at that time, the emperor had no harem, and the only heir was the prince. No one would stop the prince from ascending the throne. The reason why she left her alone before her death was because she was afraid that Xu Hui would follow her.

Because Xu Hui once said to her many times: "There is nothing in this world that I can miss. If your Majesty leaves first in the future, I will be buried for your Majesty."

I don’t know what happened to Xu Hui later. Did he listen to her and help the prince properly?

What is the situation of Jinyuwei founded by Xu Hui now?

It would be great if Xu Hui could come back, at least she wouldn't have to worry about gathering intelligence anymore.

Ugh!

Chu Zhao lowered his eyebrows and sighed, laughing at himself.

Now she doesn't even know where Xiao Chi is, and she is greedy to get another Xu Hui.

What a wishful thinking.

After dealing with the gang of ladies, Chu Zhao went back to her parents' home and coerced and induced Chu Jinshan to hand over the management rights of the bank to her.

Immediately, she went to the bank to meet Chu Huai and Wang Baobao without stopping, and gave the chief shopkeeper's seal to Wang Baobao in front of Chu Huai.

"I made a bet with my father. If I could increase the profit of Yunzhou Bank by [-]% within three months, my father would hand over all the banks across the country to me. So, Shopkeeper Wang, after three months Whether you can become the general manager of the Chu Family Bank depends on your ability."

Wang Baobao almost stared out of his eyes when he heard this.

"I'll go. I heard you right, Princess. Although I also want to be the general manager, this task is a bit too difficult!"

This man spoke strangely, and Chu Zhao couldn't help but laugh every time he heard him speak: "You said you wanted to become the richest businessman in the world. If you can't even get the position of a shopkeeper, this ideal is terrible." It can’t be realized.”

"...Actually, that's what I said." Wang Baobao smacked his lips and scratched his head, "But since the princess trusts me so much, I have to work hard no matter what, and I can't live up to the princess's expectations."

"Okay, I feel relieved with your words." Chu Zhao said, "Next, I will wait for the good news from Shopkeeper Wang."

"Hehehehe..." Wang Baobao grinned, "Don't tell me, this title sounds really pleasant to the ear."

Seeing that the two of them were talking passionately, Chu Huai pouted and said sourly: "What about me, eldest sister, what should I do?"

"You can help Wang Baobao for the time being!" Chu Zhao said, "Do whatever he asks you to do, and don't go against him."

"Why?" Chu Huai said aggrievedly, "Am I not the young master's family?"

"You are a young master, but you are a young master whose abilities are still lacking. Naturally, you need an awesome shopkeeper to assist you." Wang Baobao patted his chest and said confidently, "I am that awesome shopkeeper."

"What does it mean to be awesome?" Chu Huai asked.

Wang Baobao frowned and thought for a while: "I don't know exactly, but it probably means very powerful!"

"Hey!" Chu Huai rolled his eyes at him, "We'll see, I will be very good in the future."

"That's no better than me." Wang Baobao said.

Chu Zhao looked at the two high-spirited teenagers with a motherly smile on his face unconsciously.

Young people who are confident, optimistic and motivated also make people happy!

The next day, Chu Zhao got up early and went to the back hill of the Divine Medical Hall.

Because A'ao was recuperating from her injuries, she only brought the few guards she had selected for her when she returned to Beiyuan, and also called the second-rate general Xiao to drive her carriage.

Although General Xiao is a ruffian, he is very good at making trouble. Because he loves to join in the fun, there is no place in the city that he has not visited, and there is nothing that he does not know about.

Chu Zhao thought that after Aao became a bodyguard, if he wanted to be free to do other things for her, he would have to find someone else to do the driving job.

Anyway, General Xiao has nothing to do, so he might as well be her coachman. When he has nothing to do, he can help her get information everywhere, killing two birds with one stone.

General Xiao was naturally willing. He didn't know what kind of bad luck he had. After being a second-rate man for more than ten years, he somehow fell into the eyes of the princess and became a popular person in front of her.

Although he was just a small coachman, he did not feel ashamed. After all, not everyone was lucky enough to be able to drive a carriage for the princess.

He was proud of this and firmly believed that their ancestral grave must have been filled with smoke.

At the foot of the back mountain, Yun Qi had been waiting for a long time. He was a little surprised when he saw General Xiao coming with Chu Zhao. He stepped forward to salute Chu Zhao and asked along the way: "Why did our ancestors bring him here?"

"A'ao has other things to do. From now on, he will drive the car for me." Chu Zhao said, "If I come to you for anything, I will ask him to help me pass on the message."

"Can he do it?" Yun Qi questioned, "No one in the city knows that he is a second-rate guy."

"What's wrong with the second-rate guy? Second-rate guys have their own uses." General Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "You kid, don't look down on others. You may not be able to do what your brother can do."

Yun Qi curled his lips disdainfully: "I don't have a brother like you."

"Okay, okay, let's stop fighting and suing." Chu Zhao stopped the two of them and said to Yun Qi, "Take me to see your father quickly."

"Yes, ancestor." Yun Qi responded and led her up the mountain.

After walking for about half an hour, Chu Zhao finally met Yun Qi's father Yun Fenghua in a thatched cottage in the mountains.
