After forty-two days of confinement, Shen Qiuchi actually felt like she had seen the light of day again, as if she had lived a new life!

After his body functions gradually recovered, Shen Qiuchi immediately went to the Military Education Department to supervise the palace craftsmen to complete the manufacture of the waterwheel. During this period of time, King Liang had been submitting memorials, saying that Jinzhou was suffering from drought, the crop harvest was very poor, and the people were suffering, and he requested the court to allocate funds for disaster relief.

Shen Qiuchi had already finished her confinement and her face looked rosy. Xiao Qi then told her what Shen Qingxu had encountered when she went south.

Shen Qiuchi glanced at Xiao Qi. Doesn't this person care the most about his relatives who eat for free? Why is he putting these things in front of her?

"If it is true as you said, that those people in the Xiao family had the possibility of inheriting the throne, who do you think had the greatest hope of inheriting it? Or, who was the one who hid the most potential?"

"I'm not too sure, but I heard from my grandmother that the emperor's favorite son is Prince Liang. I think Prince Liang is the least likely to be born in an imperial family. He is a man of temperament."

"Haha, a man of temperament!" Shen Qiuchi placed the memorial on the table in front of Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi took it and quickly read through it, then looked at Shen Qiuchi with a look of "as expected".

Well, he was sloppy again.

"Alas, but didn't Uncle Wang declare to the public that he would not take care of things after he went to his fiefdom?" Xiao Qi asked in confusion, "The death of Princess Yuehua made him leave his fiefdom. He had long been saying that his heart was dead."

"Then your Xiao family is really full of romantic people, right?"

"Our Xiao family......"

"But look at the frequent memorials submitted nowadays, which also state that they need the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief. Is this really for the sake of the imperial court? Or is there another intention behind this?"

"If that's the case, Uncle Wang does have some problems."

"Qingxu was kidnapped this time and nearly met with disaster. Combined with the last assassination attempt and your injury a few years ago, the kung fu styles and methods of these men in black are basically the same."

"Qiuchi, you have a point."

"What you care about may not be what others care about. In that assassination, every blow is aimed at taking your life."

"I know, but I never thought that he would want to kill me, and I didn't expect he would hide so deeply." Xiao Qi sighed, "I don't actually want to be him either." When he was young, he admired Shen Qiuchi and was willing to give up everything for Shen Qiuchi, but Shen Qiuchi loved power and status, and wanted to climb to that high position to change the injustice in the world.

Xiao Qi's love for Shen Qiuchi is not mixed with any conspiracy or conflict of interest. He just wants to be with Shen Qiuchi, even if they are just an ordinary farming couple, he is willing.

Shen Qiuchi has always had a keen sense of danger towards things that are beyond her control. Her people in Jinzhou have not sent back any news. Either her people have been instigated or killed, or King Liang has passed on false news just to trick the waterwheel out.

"If you are still unwilling, then let's see if it is him." Shen Qiuchi looked at Xiao Qi's lowered eyes, "But no matter which one it is, this is not good news."

Xiao Qi fell into deep thought. Now that he was the emperor, and he was not bragging, with the assistance of his wife Shen Qiuchi, he could truly be called a wise ruler!

Except for not expanding the harem, which was criticized by the old ministers of various noble families, everything else he did was worthy of the people of the world.

There are few people of his generation alive now.

His father's brothers were quite submissive to him. If there really was anyone with a gloomy personality who wanted to usurp the throne, he couldn't think of him at the moment.
