When Runxue left the palace, Dongfang Shuo happened to come to the palace gate to pick her up. As soon as he saw her, he immediately jumped off his horse, stepped forward and grabbed her hands.

"Why didn't you tell me before you entered the palace? Mother must be very angry about this matter. Did she take it out on you?"

Runxue smiled and said, "I came to the palace because I knew that my mother would be angry. I wanted her to say a few words to me so that I could vent my inner depression. Otherwise, I would easily get sick."

Dongfang Shuo was so moved that he quickly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly: "With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for!"

Runxue leaned in his arms, her voice gentle and clear: "This time, we were tricked by Xie Lin and Chu Heyi. I think we should be more careful in the future. They are smart, but we are not bad either. Your Highness, remember: life is like a journey, and I am also a traveler."

Dongfang Shuo hugged her even tighter: "Xue'er always gives me endless strength when I am frustrated, allowing me to face the setbacks in front of me again and no longer be discouraged."

How could there be such a good woman in the world?

Unlike Chu Heyi, he just broke off the engagement, but that woman repeatedly went against him, embarrassed him time and time again, and even put him to death.

One day, he will make Chu Heyi kneel before him and beg for mercy like a dog!

Runxue came out of his arms and let Dongfang Shuo hold her hand and get on the carriage to go home together.

On the way, Runxue said, "Your Highness, the silver played a big role in Xie Lin's rescue of Zhou Mochi and his men. If he hadn't taken out two hundred thousand taels of silver to find out about Zhou Mochi and his men, it wouldn't have been possible to prove that Zhou Mochi and his men were being hunted down and came to Daqi, and that they were not spies sent by the Northern Zhou. This shows how important it is to have money, and a large amount of it is necessary."

"Yes!" Dongfang Shuo frowned and replied, "Unfortunately, no matter how rich we are, we won't have as much as Xie Lin."

He thought again of the reward Chu Heyi received, 100,000 gold, which was given directly to Chu Heyi as a reward for giving the water workers extra meals, without even blinking an eye. It was really abominable.

How dare the daughter of a court official steal his limelight!

Runxue said: "Just because I'm not as rich as him now doesn't mean I won't be as rich as him in the future, as long as Your Highness is willing to listen to me."

"Oh? What method does Xue'er have?" Dongfang Shuo has always been willing to listen to Runxue's methods, always some he has never heard of before.

"I have a way to brew good wine and a good way to extract sugar. As long as we can brew good wine and top-quality sugar, we will have no worries about lack of business. But before that, we need to find a merchant to do the work for us.

"Your Highness is a prince. If you start a business and let people know that you have a large sum of money, you will probably be suspected."

Dongfang Shuo said: "It's easy to find someone to work for us, but how about brewing good wine and extracting sugar?"

Runxue smiled and said, "Your Highness, just tell people to make preparations. I will naturally come up with a solution. But the person who works for us must be loyal. It would be best if his family's lives are in our hands. That way, we won't be afraid of him betraying us and betraying us."

She knew that the wine of this era was very turbid and had a very low alcohol content, and could only be considered a semi-finished product in modern times.

If she could brew a clear and high-alcohol liquor, she would definitely be able to capture the market.

As for sugar, sugar was a luxury in ancient times, and she happened to have mastered the technology to extract sugar.

As long as these two things are done, they won't have to worry about money.

In the previous few robberies, she wanted to accumulate wealth as quickly as possible, but unfortunately failed.

Now she had no choice but to use her skills to make money, which was a bit time-consuming and laborious, but she believed that this time, she would be able to defeat Xie Lin and Chu Heyi and trample them under her feet.

This was also the decision Runxue made after repeatedly confronting Chu Heyi, Xie Lin and others and failing.

She wanted to temporarily avoid the edge of Chu Heyi and Xie Lin, let herself and Dongfang Shuo grow stronger first, and then transfer the firepower to the queen and the prince, and let them deal with Xie Lin and Chu Heyi.

Two dogs fight, play off.

She wants to be a fisherman.

……

After the hot summer passed, Shengjing City suddenly became quiet.

Chu Heyi spent a very peaceful period of time. When he looked up, he found that the leaves had turned yellow and were swirling down in the cool breeze.

Autumn is here.

Zhou Mochi and his sister followed the emperor's arrangement and moved to a new mansion. Now everyone knows that there is a prince and princess from the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Shengjing City.

The prince is good at training soldiers and horses. The battle between the Daqi cavalry and the Northern Zhou Dynasty is just around the corner, and the people are very excited.

After this matter spread, it was indeed as Wen Tingshen said, talented people continued to come from all directions to work for Daqi.

Shengjing City was very lively for a while, and the emperor's reputation for being broad-minded and good at making use of talents spread throughout the world.

The emperor was very happy about this, and Wen Tingshen and Xie Lin were given more and more important positions.

On the third day after Zhou Mochen and his sister moved into their new mansion, Zhou Mochen sent someone to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to invite Chu Heyi to come over for a gathering.

Chu Heyi dressed up carefully and left.

This mansion was neither called the Prince's Palace nor the Hostage's Palace. The emperor ordered people to give it a name. After discussion among the court officials, this mansion was called the Vientiane Palace.

"I will drain the water from the West River, pour the water from the Big Dipper carefully, and all things will be my guests."

It expresses the determination of Daqi and the Emperor of Daqi to recruit and accommodate talents from all over the world.

Chu Heyi was just about to follow the housekeeper and the nanny inside when he heard the sound of a carriage behind him.

Madam Rui said, "It looks like Master Xie's carriage."

Chu Heyi deliberately waited there for a while. It was indeed Xie Lin who got off the carriage. He was wearing a blue brocade robe with a black cloak on the outside. He still looked thin and his complexion was not as healthy and rosy as others.

But compared to last year, it is much better. At least in this kind of weather, he can go out and doesn't cough.

After the two of them greeted each other, they followed the housekeeper and nanny of Wanxiang Mansion into the house.

Chu Heyi asked him softly, "How is Mr. Xie now? What medicine are you taking?"

Xie Lin said: "Doctor Lu said that I had some injuries, so he prescribed some medicine for me to take. It has worked. In previous years, I would have started to cough at this time and it was difficult for me to go out. But today, I feel fine."

Chu Heyi asked him again: "How many times do you wake up at night? Do you eat three meals a day on time?"

Xie Lin smiled, thinking she was very considerate.

His mother, who had been making medicine for him since he was a child in the hope of gaining the reputation of a good mother, but who also made him bear the stigma of having damaged his maternal body due to his birth, had never been so considerate on the surface.

Xie Lin said: "I ate on time and only woke up once or twice during the night."

One or two times may be a bit too much for others of this age, but for him, it is very little, because in previous years, in the autumn and winter, he was basically tortured by illness all night long and could not sleep.

At that time, it was already very good if you could sleep well for one or two hours a day.

"That's good." Chu Heyi's mood lightened up, and he remembered the last time he bit him in public, so he held his hand anxiously, "There were no scars left where I bit you last time, right?"

Lift up his sleeve to check.
