Ai Qian and Feng Ke, the two came to Princess Zhaohua's mansion one after another. Their work in Shangjing City has basically come to an end. Of course, they have to give a final summary report to the Ming Dynasty's highest person in Shangjing City. The guards at the door have obviously been greeted, so when the two arrived, they were immediately taken to the backyard.

When they entered the backyard, the two were very surprised. They thought that the back garden of Princess Zhaohua's mansion must be filled with flowers, filled with precious flowers, plants and trees in the world. Unexpectedly, the eyes were filled with only one kind of planting rights, poplar trees.

The tall poplar trees grew over the huge garden, leaving only a winding path in the forest. The two of them looked at each other and saw a puzzled look in each other's eyes. They really couldn't understand why there was only such an ordinary poplar tree in the back garden of the dignified Princess's Mansion.

Yinggu and Eunuch Le stood outside the forest and did not accompany Min Ruoxi. This is even more unusual. You should know that Yinggu is basically the shadow of the queen, and when she goes out, she is inseparable.

The two walked over, clasped their fists and bowed to each other: "Auntie, Mr. Le!"

Yinggu nodded, but at the same time he put his hand beside his lips and made a gesture of silence.

While the two of them stood up, they also understood the reason why Yinggu made this gesture. There were no figures in the dense forest, but they could hear a melodious song that was heard from the inside.

Since Eunuch Le and Yinggu are both waiting outside, there is no need to guess who is singing. This shocked the two of them, but they were also happy in their hearts. Not everyone has the blessing of hearing the Queen's singing.

I will silently pray that the creation of heaven will give you my heart

Don't let you change

No matter in the noisy city in the distant countryside

I can find you at a glance

Let me grow for three thousand years

Wandering in the world

Even if I am the Poplar in Kashgar

I'll look for you carefully for centuries

Find you in the cycle of life

I'm not afraid of rain, wind, sun, and wind and sand in the desert.

Let your heart be exposed to the sun and confess to you

I would rather my body be weathered by the years

Let you feel my true love

The Queen's voice was very nice, but the tunes of the song she sang were extremely strange to both of them. At least the two had never heard of such a song. The meaning contained in the lyrics should be a more sad love song, but the Queen's singing is full of happiness and a feeling of incongruity.

This feeling made people a little strange. The two of them couldn't help but look up at Yinggu, their eyes full of inquiry.

Yinggu smiled and said to the two softly: "Popora of Kashgar."

When I heard this strange name, I was even more confused, so this was another song title I had never heard of.

"This is the song that Your Majesty sang to the princess when he was in Qianlong." Yinggu explained with a smile. "The first time I heard this song was when Your Majesty and the Empress got married in Zhaozhu. His princess was the first time he got married. But at that time, when I listened to this song, I shed tears, but now?" She looked at Ai Qian and Feng Ke, "I think you can also hear the happiness that is about to overflow from the Empress's song."

"That's true, so it feels a little strange." Ai Qian nodded. "No wonder the yard is just planted with poplar trees, but this Kashgar?"

"I don't know this either." Yinggu shook her head, "It sounds like a place name, but no one knows where it is."

"A song that is originally sad and grieving, the Empress can sing a full sense of happiness, so it will naturally be a change in mood." Feng Ke said, thinking in his heart that over the years, His Majesty has refused to accept a concubine except the Empress, and has gathered thousands of favors from the family. Of course, the Empress is extremely happy. Usually, small families still think of three wives and four concubines whenever they have money!

"The environment is born from the heart." Yinggu looked at the two of them with appreciation: "You two deal with money every day. I didn't expect that it was good, and I could actually hear this."

The two of them looked a little strange. Is this a compliment or a despicable person? For a moment, it was difficult to talk to, so they could only smile awkwardly.

"Auntie, are Ai Qian and Feng Ke coming?" The singing suddenly stopped in the forest, and a gentle voice came from the forest. The figure of the queen could not be seen, but the voice seemed to be ringing in my ears. Feng Ke was shocked. Unlike Ai Qian, he was an ordinary person. As one of the great masters of Changlong, he was also an amazing martial arts expert. It was not until this time that he suddenly rang out. The queen is a genius cultivator in martial arts. Although she is only over twenty years old, she is already a master at the peak of level nine. It is said that she has touched the threshold of a master. It seems that there is no third person in the world except His Majesty.

"Empress, it's Lord Ai and Boss Feng who have arrived." Eunuch Le said justice, his voice was not loud, but Feng Ke knew that the feminine eunuch in front of him was a level nine master, and Yinggu was even a master. Any of the three people here could crush him like an ant.

"Then come in!" The Queen's voice came again.

As Yinggu and Eunuch Le walked into the dense forest, as they expected, although they could not tell how big the yard was outside, they could not tell by guessing that it was too small. When they walked in, they realized that it was much bigger than they thought. This made Ai Qian think of the palace of the Ming Dynasty. He had been in with Wang Yueyao once, but it was much shabby than here. This was still the princess's mansion, I am afraid that the palace where the King of Chu lived would be countless times more luxurious.

After walking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a beautiful man in yellow appeared in the sight of the two of them.

Below the four poplar trees as thick as a bowl, a small stone table and four small stone stools were arranged. The Queen was dressed in casual clothes, with long hair draped over her shoulders, and she stood casually under the poplar trees without makeup. She was actually weaving a poplar tree branch crown in her hand.

Seeing the four people appear, they threw the half-woven tree canopy on the table and sat down.

"Ai Qian (Feng Ke) has met the Empress!" Ai Qian, Feng Ke immediately took a step forward and knelt down.

"No gifts, get up." Min Ruoxi pointed to the two stone benches on her left and right: "You both have worked hard these days, sit down and talk!"

The two of them did not refuse, knowing that the Empress, like His Majesty, had the same comfortable temperament and did not like nonsense. They sat on the left and right side of Min Ruoxi, and Yinggu sat opposite Min Ruoxi.

Eunuch Le, like Min Ruoxi, owed her body slightly, and walked deeper like a ghost. She glanced at the front of Ai, and half of the eaves were exposed in the depths of the poplar trees. It was obvious that there was a house there.

"Have you done everything?" Min Ruoxi asked.

Feng Ke looked at Ai Qian.

Ai Qian nodded: "Empress Qibing, it's basically done. This morning, we have received the official reply from Emperor Chu, and we have also resigned. The members of the delegation have already prepared some salutes and are ready to return."

"Everything is as we expected before?" A trace of pain flashed in Min Ruoxi's eyes, but in a blink of an eye, a clear light returned to the point.

"Yes, it is implemented according to the third plan. It is also the plan that our Ming Dynasty most hopes for." Ai Qian nodded, "They didn't see anything, that horse leader..."

Ai Qian smiled and shook his head, "He couldn't see what was hidden in this third contract at all. After we took out the third contract, he couldn't wait to agree."

Min Ruoxi snorted softly: "My second brother, didn't realize that he was similar to Ma Xiangdong, and he was all fools. They thought they had taken a big advantage, but they didn't know that from then on, their economic lifeline would fall into the control of our Ming Dynasty step by step. When they woke up, the noose had been tightened, and it was not that easy to break away."

"No one doesn't understand it at all, but those people have been fed by us with silver. Besides, they have many other handles that we have caught in our hands, so they naturally think they are blind."

"You're talking about how many people in the Ministry of Revenue are now?"

"Yes." Ai Qian nodded: "We are all fellow travelers. Even if we can't see it very deeply, we can always know that there is a trap buried in this matter. So before the incident, the Eagle Nest thought about plugging this loophole."

"Those who know how to behave don't speak, and those who don't know how to behave do it." Min Ruoxi sneered: "It's only a few years ago that Da Chu has fallen to this point. If Yang Yi and Yang Xiang are still there, you will take this marriage with him directly, and he will throw it on your face."

"Empress, Yang Xiangruo is still here, how could Da Chu fall to this point today?" Ying Gu shook her head and said, "Since the second prince ascended the throne, Da Chu has laid the root of today's disaster. If the king is unclear, the ministers are not virtuous, and the country is not far from being destroyed. The difference is that we are taken down or the Qi people. A Chengwuben, even if he is covered with iron, can get thousands of nails, not to mention that Chengwuben is already unable to protect himself."

"My second brother will not give up. In order to raise more money, he will inevitably spare no effort to exploit the Jiangnan area. That place is the origin of the Great Chu. At first, it may support him, but as the exploitation worsens, it will inevitably begin to be disloyal. When it becomes chaotic there, the Great Chu will be really over." Min Ruoxi sighed and said, "What's more, in the third peace agreement, he originally dug a big hole for him for this. Before Ai, these things are planned for maritime trade transactions, right?"

"Yes, this is how Lord Wang Yueyao planned to get these things at a low price and then ship them overseas to earn high profits so that they can fill the treasury in a short period of time. Now in the Ming Dynasty, there are too many places to use money."

"I think Wang Yueyao has prepared countless backup plans." Min Ruoxi smiled bitterly and said, "I know her methods."

Ai Qian hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Wang said this is a five-year plan. Five years will be enough for the Ming Dynasty to swallow and digest Qin State, and then he will have the energy to return to operate the Chu State."
