After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Facing the shocked gazes of these two people, Liu Yunxiang bent down and nodded.

"Yes, my wife is the owner of Lingyun Grain Shop."

The queen rolled her eyes. She asked him to open Lingyun Grain Store in front of the emperor, but she didn't mention that she was the owner! But this is already the case, we can only go with the flow.

"Your Majesty, this Liu family is from Lao Qi. Although there is no official matchmaker to marry, the two have worshiped heaven and earth, and she can be considered a member of our royal family. Now that the disaster in the south is serious, she should be allowed to contribute."

When Yan Mu was mentioned, the emperor's face became a little ugly. He looked at Liu Yunxiang and asked, "Lao Qi really fell off the cliff?"

Liu Yunxiang pretended to be sad and said, "I saw it with my own eyes."

"Really dead?"

"The cliff is too deep. If you fall down, your bones will be broken into pieces."

Hearing this, the emperor relaxed slightly and said, "What do you think of the death of the seventh couple?"

"He was killed by Beijin people."

"Don't you blame me for sending him to Beijin as a hostage?"

"The emperor is for the country, the country, and the country. As the prince, His Highness Seventh Prince should shoulder this responsibility. My wife only lamented that he had a miserable life and died in a foreign country with no bones left."

The emperor felt a little more comfortable when he saw Liu Yunxiang's lowered eyebrows.

"Lao Qi sacrificed his life for the country, so be it. I ordered a funeral for him to comfort his spirit in heaven."

Liu Yunxiang hurriedly knelt down and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to the Emperor on behalf of His Majesty the Seventh Highness."

"Your Majesty, isn't this appropriate?" Shangguan Xu was surprised when he saw Liu Yunxiang coming in from outside the palace. He always felt that something was wrong.

"Why is it inappropriate?" the emperor asked, raising his eyebrows.

Shangguan Xu glanced at Liu Yunxiang and said, "I haven't seen His Highness the Seventh Prince's body, so it's just that his life and death are unknown. Isn't it appropriate to hold a funeral for him?"

"Then according to the wishes of the governor, His Highness Seventh Prince can only be a lonely ghost." Liu Yunxiang wiped his tears and said.

"emperor……"

"Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter any further." The emperor waved his hand to Shangguan Xu, and then looked at Liu Yunxiang, "You must have heard about the disaster in the south. I summoned you to the palace today to discuss disaster relief."

Liu Yunxiang stood up and nodded, "His Royal Highness Seventh was young and led troops to fight in the east and west. His lifelong wish was to protect our great and prosperous country and the peace of the people, and to relieve the emperor's worries. Now that he has passed away, as his wife, I should treat him as his wife. I am willing to take it seriously.”

"Good! It's rare for a woman like you to be so benevolent and righteous!" The emperor praised first, then thought about it, and then asked: "How much food can your Lingyun Food Store produce?"

Liu Yunxiang raised his head, "One hundred thousand stones."

Shangguan Xu and the Queen were secretly surprised by this sound.

One hundred thousand dan, the imperial court cannot afford so much food at the moment.

"My wife is willing to empty all the granaries to relieve the emperor's worries."

"Great!"

"My wife is also willing to spend 10 taels of silver to replenish the national treasury."

"Good, good, great."

"I just have two requests."

The emperor hurriedly said: "You say it."

"First, His Highness Seventh Prince was hailed as the King of Zhenbei by Zhenbei soldiers during his lifetime, but he has not yet been canonized by the imperial court." Liu Yunxiang lowered his head and said.

The emperor's thoughts changed and he said: "I will decree to make him the King of Zhenbei and you the Princess of Zhenbei."

A dead person, no matter how big the title is, it doesn't matter.

"Secondly, I would like to ask Lord Shangguan to return my son Qin Yan to me." After saying this, she looked at Shangguan Xu, "I understand that Lord Shangguan is thinking of his feelings for His Majesty the Seventh Highness, and is afraid that evil people will harm the young prince, so he stayed here. I will protect you by my side. I have thanked Governor Shangguan here, but since I have returned to the capital, I will not bother the Governor to take care of my children."

Shangguan Xu narrowed his eyes. Liu Yunxiang actually knew that his son was in his hands. It was obvious that she had done this to make him hand over her son in front of the emperor.

"Where is the prince?" The emperor turned to Shangguan Xu and asked, "Why didn't you mention it to me?"

"Old slave..."

"The Seventh Highness has passed away, and the young prince is still young. If he can welcome the Emperor and serve the Emperor on behalf of His Majesty, then His Majesty the Seventh Highness will feel at ease in heaven."

Liu Yunxiang spoke first before Shangguan Xu could. Seeing that the emperor listened, he actually showed a trace of sadness, "After all, the emperor's younger son is still the emperor's eldest grandson."

The third prince and the fourth prince became royal concubines late in life, but they had many concubines, but they were unlucky. Only the third prince had a son.

The royal family has little interest in their children. The ninth prince is not his biological son and has just been deposed. The third and fourth princes are not good enough. After many calculations, there are only one or two seedlings left.

If you kill again, it will be gone.

What's more, Yan Mu is already dead, so it doesn't matter if he leaves his youngest son behind.

The emperor had been thinking about it for a while. He looked at Liu Yunxiang again. What kind of ability could a woman have? At worst, he would kill her after using her this time.

"Shangguan Xu, is the prince really at your place?" the emperor asked.

Shangguan Xu lowered his eyes. If he said he was not here, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Once the emperor sent people to search his governor's mansion, then this crime would be confirmed.

He really didn't expect that Liu Yunxiang would force the emperor to hand over the young prince, and use [-] shi of grain and [-] silver to force the emperor to comply with her request.

"Yes, the young prince is indeed at the old slave's place."

The emperor frowned and said, "Shangguan Xu, please stay less involved in the royal affairs from now on."

Shangguan Xu hurriedly knelt down and said, "I realize my mistake."

"Hmph, I'm probably too lenient to you, making you forget your identity."

"This old slave deserves death!"

"Okay, let's return the young prince to the princess."

"Yes."

Coming out of Chengtian Palace, Shangguan Xu and Liu Yunxiang walked out side by side.

"I'm really curious, who told you that your son is here with this governor?"

Shangguan Xu said that he really couldn't figure this out. Qin Yan was handed over to him through Qin Feishi, but on the surface he had no friendship with Qin Feishi.

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said, "Guess."

"You couldn't have guessed."

"Indeed, but if someone thinks that I, a weak woman, can't make any waves, so they talk openly in front of me and say that you and Qin Fei were in the same boat, then it's easy to guess."

Shangguan Xu narrowed his eyes, "Who said that?"

Liu Yunxiang clicked his tongue, "Who else can there be? There is only one Wei Changyi who went to Zhenbei, and the two of us have been in contact."

Shangguan Xu took a deep breath. Wei Changyi had always been cautious. He told Liu Yunxiang this, so he should be absolutely sure that Liu Yunxiang would not escape from their hands.

But she escaped, returned to Shengjing, and suddenly appeared in Chengtian Palace, catching him off guard.

Shangguan Xu was thinking as he walked, "So Jin You's incident was also planned by you?"

Although the queen is in charge of the harem, she is completely blind and deaf under his control, and has no idea about Jin You's troubles. This is what he has always been confused about. Now he finally figured it out. It must be Liu Yunxiang's fault.

"Yes." Liu Yunxiang admitted frankly.

"But how do you know this?"

"No one else knows about this except him and Jin You, and even Wei Changyi doesn't know about it."

Liu Yunxiang curled her lips secretly. She couldn't say it was because of the scandal about the Queen Mother having a fake eunuch in her previous life.

"Guess."

"Guess again?"

Liu Yunxiang coughed dryly, "Since the governor of Shangguan is supporting Qin Feishi, how could he let Jin You give birth to an emperor's heir? What if he shot himself in the foot? With your foresight, you will definitely not leave such a child behind." It’s a disaster, so I guess the Ninth Prince must be the Emperor’s biological son.”

"Only based on this?"

"Ahem, I just asked the queen to pay more attention to Xiyue Palace. Whoever wants it can be so accurate."

Shangguan Xu thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Interesting, you are as interesting as Lao Qi."
