The happy coffin is opened, all ghosts disperse, the princess comes from hell

Dayong's taxes may not seem high, but there are many exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes, which are like a huge mountain to bear on the people.

With Xiao Chenyan's temper, 90% of the original officials of the Ministry of Revenue could be dragged out and beheaded.

But the administration of officials is different from the administration of the army. Although it is waste, it still has value. At least until fresh blood comes to replace it, this group of waste wood can be used again.

If he hadn't owned a lot of private property in recent years, he wouldn't have been able to support the Northern Territory.

But for now, it is still impossible for Xiao Chenyan to show off his talents. Although the East Palace is abandoned, his identity is there after all.

Moreover, the old emperor's attitude was ambiguous.

Qing Wu felt that the old emperor knew everything in his heart and let Xiao Chenyan take over the household department just because he wanted to use Xiao Chenyan to clean up the mess.

Can Xiao Chenyan not understand?

If all he wanted was hatred, it would be simple.

However, this man once had a very high position, but once he fell into the dust, he had seen the pinnacle of power in the world, knew the hardships of people's livelihood, and knew the pain of turmoil.

I'm in hell, but I don't want this world to turn into a real hell.

Xiao Chenyan knew that Qingwu didn't like those things in the court, so he changed the subject: "I had a lot of fun going out today."

Qing Wu also became a little more energetic and raised her fingers, gesturing for him to come forward.

Xiao Chenyan walked up to her. They were the only two people in the room, but Qingnu looked mysterious.

He put his hands on the table and leaned towards her. She naturally hooked her arms around his neck and whispered about Huo Hongying in his ear.

Xiao Chenyan's expression was a little strange, as if he was surprised and suddenly realized.

Qing Wu immediately poked his heart with her finger: "Are you hiding something from me again?"

Xiao Chenyan held her hand and "moved again."

Qing Wu glared at him, and he shook his head helplessly and said, "I asked Huo Yi for a favor before, and he agreed without hesitation. I was a little strange at that time."

"What's the deal?" After saying that, Qing Wu rolled her eyes and said, "Is it related to Xiao Yulang?"

"Well, I borrowed something from him."

Wang Yulang is Wang Sheng's son, so he should be implicated and exiled, but the Ministry of Punishment has not come to him until now.

Qing Wu expected that Xiao Chenyan had a back-up plan in this matter, but the back-up plan turned out to be Huo Yi.

"Is it the iron certificate of the Huo family's alchemy book?"

Xiao Chenyan glanced at her and said yes.

Qing Wu hissed, and a hard-hearted ghost like her felt a little sad now. For Huo Yi, Wang Sheng could be said to be the one who wanted to take away his wife.

It was understandable that Huo Yi didn't want to see Wang Yulang, but he was actually willing to take out the iron certificate of the alchemy book for Mu Ying to save Wang Yulang's life.

Although there was also a deal between Xiao Chenyan and him, it was an ironclad book of alchemy.

"There are still real men in this world." Qing Wu sighed.

But when these words fell into Xiao Chenyan's ears, they always seemed to mean criticizing Sang and Huai.

Who is not a real man anymore?

He stared at Qingnu inscrutably.

Qing Wu felt nothing and told him about the 'accidental coincidence' between Huo Yi and Mu Ying.

At this time, Xiao Chenyan's expression also changed.

"Have you told Mrs. Mu about this?"

"No." Qing Wu shrugged: "We must give the rightful owner a chance to perform."

What's more, she has already asked Huo Hongying to take the message back, and then it depends on General Huo's own actions.

As for Mu Ying, Qing Wu felt that it was inevitable that Mu Ying would be grateful to Huo Yi after knowing what happened that year and the ironclad book.

But gratitude and love are different.

Huo Yi is a gentleman and will not repay favors. For now, the two of them are no different from strangers.

It would be better to wait for Huo Yi to become Xiao Yulang's martial arts master, and gradually get in touch with him, and things will fall into place.

"You have always been interested in Mrs. Mu."

"Of course, after all, Xiao Yulang can call me aunt." Qing Wu glared at him: "I still call you uncle. After all, Mrs. Mu is also your sister-in-law, so you can't take care of her."

Xiao Chenyan's heart moved inexplicably, as if he had been scratched.

The word 'wife' made his ears feel uncontrollably hot.

He hummed deeply, suppressing the rise of the corners of his lips. When facing Qingnu's probing eyes, he returned to his normal appearance and rubbed her head carelessly as if to cover up.

The bun of his hair was messed up, and Qingwu opened her teeth and claws to scratch him again.

Xiao Chenyan dodged away and heard her yelling arrogantly: "Put me on the floor tonight!"

Flooring?

Xiao Chenyan pursed his lips.

Clearly aware of the inner reluctance.

The moment this realization appeared, his heart suddenly trembled, as if a layer of fog had been peeled away, making him unable to ignore his inner desire for the person in front of him.

"I'll sleep in the study tonight."

After saying this, he left.

The back view even seems to be running away.

Qing Wu blinked and said in her mind: "Did he go crazy while checking the accounts in the household department?"

Judge's Pen: "There's something wrong. Aren't we just in his study? Why is he leaving?"

"Men are just weird."

In the yard, Bai Sui came over with ginseng soup and saw that Xiao Chenyan was a little distracted, "Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine."

Xiao Chenyan hummed, took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. He said with a normal expression: "Take some time to clean up. I've been resting in the study recently." After saying that, he walked out.

Bai Sui looked confused. Seeing Xiao Chenyan was about to walk out of the courtyard of the study, he hurriedly asked: "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"

"Go back to the study." The man said calmly.

Baisui: "...The study is over there, isn't it?" He pointed behind him.

Xiao Chenyan's eyes seemed to be dazed, but gradually regained his clarity, and then he met Qing Wu's inquiring eyes as she walked out of the study.

Xiao Chenyan: "..."

Prince Yan Wang walked away expressionlessly, leaving behind a message: "Store some food and go to the back garden to shoot arrows."

"Going to shoot arrows in the middle of the night, your prince has a very good eye." Qing Wu teased.

Baisui also had a confused look on his face: "Is the prince not feeling well? Why don't you ask Doctor Situ to take a look?"

Qing Wu burst into laughter: "Very good, look at your brain."

If it had been in the past, Bai Sui would definitely have fought for his own prince.

But this time Baisui nodded obediently: "Okay."

This time Qingwu looked at him unexpectedly.

Baisui touched his face with a guilty conscience: "Why is the princess looking at me like that?"

"What good has happened to the centenary-year-old deputy commander recently? His temper has improved."

The hundred-year-old baby's face turned red, as if he was embarrassed and guilty, and ran away with the tray: "I also went shooting with the prince."

Qing Wu looked at the incomprehensible master and servant and laughed out loud.

Is it strange that this disease is still contagious?
