"Treat the symptoms?" His dark eyebrows slightly frowned: "What do you think is a treatment plan?"

I said softly: "The three provinces in Jiangnan are the richest places in the entire Central Plains. It is indeed wise for the emperor to reduce taxes to attract the hearts of the people, but long-term tax reduction and exemption are not only useless to national policies, but also give the old ministers something to talk about. ()     |    (8)bsp;O    M Therefore, taxes need to be increased, and the key is to add them to whom."

Hearing this, Pei Yuanhao raised his eyebrows slightly.

This is not my plan for Pei Yuanhao, but what Liu Saner told me at the beginning that counting taxes with heads is very unfair to people in the Jiangnan region, but if taxes are distributed to cultivated land, the situation will be very different.

I remember Liu Saner also mentioned that nearly a thousand acres of land behind Niangniang Mountain were all enclosed by a large official in the capital. In fact, this situation is not only in Jixiang Village, but also in many fertile land in Jiangnan was occupied by some officials and gentry. If taxes are really spread into arable land like this, these people will definitely suffer a great loss. In this way, the practice of increasing taxes in Jiangnan will cause them to suffer.

At that time, Shin Gongyi shouldn't have been so forced.

I slowly told Pei Yuanhao that from the unreasonable tax system to the enclosure in the south, he said little by little, his expression became heavier and heavier, but the light in his dark eyes became more and more intense.

But for some reason, I said it so clearly, but my thoughts became more and more confused, and I was even confused. In the end, I was even a little confused, not sure whether it was myself talking or another person's voice, through my mouth, saying it.

His childishness, his courage, his fearlessness, and his wholeheartedness for the public have made me cry countless times, but now I have only realized that it is something that I cannot forget and unforgettable.

Now, it’s not me who is talking, but the voice in my heart is talking, just through my mouth.

When I said this, my throat choked.

...

Pei Yuanhao didn't say anything, just listened quietly, and his tight brows didn't let go. He didn't look at me until he finished speaking and suddenly said, "Do you think about this method to change the tax system?"

"..." He seemed to feel that the words I said just now were not my tone.

"Who is it?"

“…”

I didn't say anything, not that I didn't want to say anything, but that I couldn't guarantee that as soon as I opened my mouth, would I cry immediately?

Looking at my eyes that were almost red when struggling, Pei Yuanhao also fell silent. Neither of them spoke anymore. After a long time, I stood up and gave a gentle blessing, and said in a hoarse voice: "The girl from the civilians will take her leave first."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave, but as soon as I turned around, he grabbed my hand.

I didn't look back, but I just tried to pull it back slightly, but I was still grabbed by him.

"Qingying," he was silent for a moment, and used a little more force on his hand, pinching my fingertips and said, "I will find Li'er back."

My heart seemed to be shaking, and I hurriedly tried to shake off his hand, and was held tighter by him. The temperature of my palm made me tremble, but he still grabbed me and said, "When I come back, you-"

Before he could finish his words, he saw a little eunuch running over in front of him: "Emperor! Emperor--!"

The little eunuch looked panicked. As soon as he approached, he saw me and him clearly. He was shocked immediately. Before he finished speaking, I took the opportunity to pull my hand back. I heard the sound of grinding teeth coming from behind him. His breathing sank for a moment, and walked forward and said, "What's the matter?"

The little eunuch seemed to feel that he was in a bad mood, so he knelt down with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly: "Master, something big happened."

"Speak quickly!"

"Empress Li, she——" The little eunuch looked around and got up with courage, lowered his voice in Pei Yuanhao's ear: "Empress Li is in Yuhua Palace..."

His voice became lower and lower. When I said the last few words, I could no longer hear them clearly. I only saw Pei Yuanhao's eyes wide open.

"What?!"

I saw his face pale suddenly and immediately walked forward without looking back.

The little eunuch looked up at his back with lingering fear, then looked at me again, his eyes turned around, and immediately walked towards me, and said with a smile: "Miss Qing, are you in good health? Don't get rid of it here, hurry up and go back to Jingren Palace to rest. If you have anything to use, just open your mouth."

I looked at Pei Yuanhao's back, looked at his somewhat flattering eyes, and smiled faintly: "Thank you for your worries."

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Jingren Palace.

.

What happened to Nangong Lizhu did not come out the next day. If I hadn't heard the little eunuch's words, I wouldn't have known what happened to Yuhua Palace. Chang Qing had left Jingren Palace early the next morning and did not return from Yuhua Palace until the evening, with a look of fatigue on her face.

I brewed a cup of tea and sent it to her, and said softly: "Queen, take a break."

She didn't say anything, just sat at the table and drank tea.

I was still standing beside her, quietly, but she was so excited that she looked up at me: "Where is the deep thought?"

"Your Highness has finished reading today, Xing'er takes him down to take a shower."

"Well," Chang Qing nodded, thought for a long time, then suddenly looked up and said to me, "Are there two people around you?"

"Yes, Madam Wu and Shui Xiu."

"Does it work?"

I was surprised by her sudden question. I said solemnly: "It's all necessary. Madam Wu is careful and cautious, smart and smart, and is kind and trustworthy. She is a kind and trustworthy person. The people's daughters are in a move."

Chang Qing nodded, and then came back to her senses, saying: "In the future, let that Shui Xiu come over and follow Nian Shen with Xing'er."

Her sudden instructions surprised me a little. It seemed that something really happened. I agreed to "yes" and looked down at her again. There were three faint marks on Chang Qing's eyebrows. They were traces left by her very anxious heart. I said softly: "There is the one in Yuhua Palace-"

Chang Qing then sighed and said, "Concubine Li committed suicide yesterday, but fortunately it was early, and the emperor was with her."

"Ah?!How come it suddenly-"

I was stunned. If it was because of a miscarriage, it had been so long since. Nangong Lizhu was going to commit suicide. She committed suicide when the child fell out. Why did it suddenly start to make a fuss? I was still confused when I heard Chang Qing lower her voice and said, "I just realized that the tonic she had recently been added to the horse golden sac."

Ma Jinbao?!

I felt a little sank after listening to it - I might not know it if it was the past, but I also knew that this medicine is extremely cold and can be said to be a taboo in the harem. Taking it for a long time will make the uterus cold and never conceive. It is a sterilization medicine!

Could it be that-

I looked at Chang Qing with wide eyes, and she nodded silently.

Nangong Lizhu, sterilized?!

Although she had miscarriage and lost her child, there were some reasons for me, but when I heard that she was sterilized and could never be a mother again, I still couldn't help but chill - that was the most tragic experience of a woman in her life!

When I remembered Chang Qing's words just now, I understood what came over and said, "Is it——Niu Concubine?"

Chang Qing said lightly: "There is no evidence. The prescription was seen by the emperor before. There is no problem. It was because the night before yesterday, Concubine Li's lower body was bleeding and found a medicine residue. I don't know when it was put in. The emperor Long Yan was furious. Several people who followed Concubine Li were killed by sticks, and several people from the Imperial Hospital were also locked up, but--"

But it's no longer helpful.

The emperor's favorite Concubine Li was so clean and neat, and the emperor's favorite Concubine Li had already decided, but once Concubine Li was sterilized, how much impact would it have on the entire harem?

Shen Rou gave birth to the prince and Concubine Li sterilized, what a good move.

Perhaps Shen Rou had always been worried about Concubine Li's children before. After all, Nangong Lizhu is Pei Yuanhao's favorite woman. If she gave birth to a prince, it would naturally be impossible to compare with other children in life, so she asked me to plot against Nangong Lizhu. Now, by chance, Nangong Lizhu has really had a miscarriage, and Shen Rou gave birth to a prince. As long as Nangong Lizhu's path is gone, her children's future is unlimited.

If this is true, then my thoughts are deep - my heart immediately tightened.

Mind is the biggest obstacle in her eyes.

Thinking of this, I just felt that the blood in my body was cold. I was not too afraid of Shen Rou and her methods. The reason why she is still living steadily is because of some mistakes, but now I am not worried about this, but instead-

Looking at my frowning look, Chang Qing said, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"

"..." I bit my lower lip and said softly: "Don't the Queen think their movements are too big?"

“…”

In fact, whether it is Nangong Lizhu's miscarriage or current sterilization, Pei Yuanhao may not be unsure of it. What they have to rely on is that the emperor cannot catch the evidence, but it is not impossible for Pei Yuanhao to really touch them. They attack Nangong Lizhu so blatantly, adding a bowl of oil to the emperor's heart!

But why are they so bold?!

Chang Qing looked at me, and her autumn-like eyes had a rippling slight ripples, but she quickly calmed down and said lightly: "Don't worry about these things anymore. In the past two months, I will think about my mistakes in Jingren Palace, and many things will be entrusted to you."

"Recalling the mistakes behind closed doors?" Looking at Chang Qing's calm expression, I immediately understood that something happened to Concubine Li, and the queen was not good at managing the six palaces. No matter what, the emperor would punish her little and warn her to serve as a warning. But if this is the case, no one in the harem could suppress Shen Rou!

Is this another move for Shen Rou?

If Chang Qing is suppressed, he will no longer do anything during this period of time. It is a good opportunity to deal with Nian Shen!

This step by step, one move is so perfect!

Thinking of this, I felt cold sweat in my palms and my fingertips were cold, but I heard Chang Qing suddenly say, "However, there is good news. I heard that Fu Badai has set off."

"Ah?" I opened my eyes wide and was a little surprised: "Have Fu Badai agreed to enter the palace?"

"Yeah." Chang Qing nodded and said, "This is not easy. The previous post was rejected by him on the grounds of being old and sick. However, the emperor chased another oral order and allowed his disciples to enter the palace with him. To accompany Nianshen and take care of his sick body, Fu Badai agreed."

A little smile appeared on my face: "This - so good!"
