Chapter 10 The Empress Summons

"Xiang Fei, I'm taking my leave."

"As for the ice cubes, I will arrange for someone to deliver them immediately!"

Yang Dong ran all the way and escaped from Kangning Palace.

Xiang Fei looked at his retreating back indifferently, the cold light in her almond-shaped eyes became more and more profound.

How dare a mere eunuch covet my beauty? He really doesn’t know how to live or die.

But now that I am employing people, I will keep this person for the time being. What if I give him some sweeteners?

"Chunlan, Manager Yang is working hard for His Majesty all day long, and we are short of people to serve you."

"From now on, you will stay with Manager Yang and take care of me."



Yang Dong rushed back to his residence like a gust of wind.

Without stopping, he dove into the wooden barrel filled with cold water.

The cold bath water instantly made him sober. He also gradually realized that his body was changing.

The hot internal energy flowed along the meridians and to the limbs and bones. Yang Dong clearly felt that the internal energy was growing rapidly.

At the same time, a layer of dirt began to appear on the surface of his skin.

After about a while, the bucket of bath water was already ink-colored. But Yang Dong's skin became like a baby's, crystal clear and exuding a light luster.

It seems that although this crazy witch is a mess, she still has a lot of treasures in her hands.

I have to think of ways to get more treasures out of her hands in the future.

However, the toxins in my body are a troublesome problem, and I need to find a solution immediately. I have finally been reborn, and I don’t want to be controlled by others, especially the other person is a crazy witch!

Just as Yang Dong was losing his mind, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Manager Yang, your Majesty will call you to go to the Shangqing Palace without any mistakes."

"I see."

Yang Dong said casually, turned over in the wooden cabinet and changed into a pair of clean clothes.

He changed his clothes, got up and went out, only to bump into another lump of soft flesh.

"Sister Chunlan? Why are you here? But what orders does Xiang Fei have?"

"Yang, Manager Yang, you have misunderstood. The empress said that you lacked someone to take care of you, so she asked your servant to come over and serve you."

Chunlan nodded slightly and covered her chest with her hands in panic. A slight blush appeared on her oval face.

"That's it..."

Yang Dong nodded,

"Okay, then you can live next door to me. Your Majesty is in a hurry to summon me, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, the wind blew under his feet and he left quickly.

Yang Dong was a little surprised by Chunlan's appearance, but he felt it was very reasonable.

The crazy criticizing witch doesn't have much trust in him, so it's normal for him to send someone to monitor him.

But does she really think that sending Chunlan can keep an eye on the young master? What a dream!



Shangqing Palace,

The empress had a gloomy face, her eyes fixed on the memorial in her hand.

"Qingniao, are you sure there are no errors in the number on this memorial?"

Qingniao also looked solemn and nodded vigorously,

"Your Majesty, your subordinates had doubts about these amounts at first, so they made a special trip to the warehouse where grain transport officer Zhang Tu hid grain and grass."

"I guarantee with my life that the amount on this memorial will never be wrong!"

"court death!"

The empress let out a low roar, and the pressure that belonged to the emperor instantly unfolded. It was so majestic that no one dared to look at her.

"With this picture, do you really think that I won't kill the nine other tribes?"

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the entire study was extremely solemn.

"Qingniao, are there any other clues about this matter?"

"This picture is just a small grain transport official. Even if I lend him ten courages, he will never dare to touch the grain and grass from the national treasury."

"Besides, he is greedy for 300,000 shi of food and grass, so he can't take action at all."

"Who do you think is behind this picture? The household department? Lin Chunqiu, the chief assistant? Or..."

Qingniao suddenly bowed and saluted, with a trace of unwillingness in his tone.

"My subordinates are incompetent and have not found any collusion between Zhang Tu and other officials. Please punish him."

"Didn't you find it?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of the empress's mouth,

"Come on, get up. I don't blame you for this. They didn't move the food and grass just to divide this matter. It makes sense that you can't find out."

"By the way, why hasn't Xiao Dongzi come over yet?"

Just as a hint of displeasure flashed across the empress's face, she heard the young eunuch's voice coming from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, Manager Yang would like to see you."

"Let him in quickly."

Yang Dong stepped into the threshold of Shangqing Palace,

This time he didn't see any broken porcelain pieces on the ground. Thinking that the empress was in a good mood, he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart.

On the way here, he roughly guessed the purpose of the empress summoning him.

It was obvious that Ji Ziyue had found the grain and grass that the grain transport officer had embezzled.

So as soon as he entered the door, he immediately bowed and saluted and said loudly:

"Xiao Dongzi congratulates your majesty for successfully solving the disaster relief food crisis in Luozhou. In this way, your majesty can stabilize the morale of the army and help the people of Luozhou. It is really a double happiness!"

"Oh, it seems you have guessed it?"

A strange color flashed across the empress' majestic face.

She stared at Yang Dong, with a satisfied smile on her lips.

"Xiao Dongzi, you are very good. You really have the talent to manage the world!"

When Yang Dong heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for the compliment. I will do my best to serve Your Majesty."

"It's just about your majesty's visit to the Splendid Palace tonight. Can you..."

"You have no joke!"

The empress glared at Yang Dong fiercely, then her tone became gentle again.

"Don't worry, since you have the talent to manage the world, I won't let you become that tired cow..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the madness of that night emerged uncontrollably in the empress's mind.

Yang Dong is pressing on him, but he is just a plowing cow!

The empress's heart was slightly aroused, and a strange emotion was swimming in her heart. She suddenly felt that her legs were a little weak and her mouth was dry.

She immediately coughed slightly, interrupting her random thoughts. She continued gently:

"I just have a question that I want to ask you."

"Xiao Dongzi, regarding the matter of greed for grain and grass, I admit that there is nothing wrong with your thinking, but why are you so sure that all the grain and grass are in the hands of the grain transportation officer?"

The smile on the empress's face remained unchanged, but the twinkling light in Danfeng's eyes became increasingly sharp.

Yang Dong was slightly startled, and said to himself that it was bad.

Sure enough, creatures like emperors cannot be treated with common sense!

My logic is so clear, how could it arouse Ji Ziyue's suspicion?

It seems that we should be more careful in the future!

But the most urgent task now is to make the empress believe in her. If she finds out about Uncle Zhang, even if she can save her head, her second brother may be forced to run away from home.

Yang Dong's mind was wandering and he had already made a decision.

He suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the empress with proud eyes.

"Your Majesty really underestimates me!"

"It's just a greedy draft, and it's completely unable to show my true strength."
