Gu Fei didn't know what the most touching love words in the world were.

She only knew that Xiao Yu's words made her heart beat faster and faster. Under her hand, Xiao Yu's heart also beat heavily and fast. At this moment, she didn't want to have any reason anymore.

There was only one voice in her heart, promise him!

Promise him!

She looked at the handsome man in front of her steadily and nodded slowly.

In an instant, Xiao Yu's heart flew up. He hugged Gu Fei suddenly, and his voice was choked for some reason, "I, I'm so happy, Xiao Fei."

Gu Fei closed his eyes. This embrace may not be strong enough, but he always tried his best to protect himself.

That's enough.

Not everyone can meet someone who loves you in this world.

It's a blessing to meet such a person.

From now on, she will carefully cherish this luck.

Xiao Yu had a silly smile on his face and walked out of the inn like cotton under his feet.

Riding Zhao Ye, he ran out of the city quickly.

He was so happy that he didn't know how to vent his joy without running to his heart's content.

Zhaoye seemed to sense his emotions and ran wildly.

On the official road outside the city, Zhaoye's hooves kicked up a cloud of dust and rolled forward.

······

That night, in the imperial palace in the capital.

The emperor looked at the secret report on Ping'an City that the Red Guards had just delivered, and his face turned pale.

The secret report was detailed, and the only thing left was to re-copy Shen Qingluan's dowry list. Looking at the treasures on the list, the emperor's eyes turned red. He threw the secret report on the ground and gritted his teeth and said, "The drought in the north is so severe, the treasury is empty, and even the money for disaster relief can't be taken out. The Qi Wang Mansion is so extravagant!" "What a good lady who protects the country. I originally felt sorry for her because she is a widow and has only one daughter. I didn't expect that she has a way to make money and has more money than I have!" The emperor now has little money in his private treasury, and he took out all he could to relieve the disaster. Moreover, the marriage between the Qi Wang Mansion and the Lady Protector of the Country made him more wary of the King of Qi. The father-in-law of the King of Qi, Duke Qin, already has a large army, and the Lady Protector of the Country has a great influence in the army. Could it be that the King of Qi wants to rebel? After being angry for a while, the emperor said expressionlessly: "Send the editor of the Hanlin Academy to draft the edict."

After a while, Wang, the editor on duty today in the Hanlin Academy, came over, put down his pen and ink, and sat at the table with his eyebrows downcast.

The emperor walked around in the hall, thinking to himself that now the treasury is empty, it is better to get some silver first. Although the dowry silver belongs to the wife of the Protector of the Country, he is the emperor, and it is not good to ask a widow for silver. If it is spread out, it will be a joke for all ages.

The only way is to start with the Qi Wang Mansion.

In any case, the dowry silver will eventually go into the pocket of the Qi Wang Mansion.

It is a good opportunity to give the Qi Wang a warning.

After making up his mind, the emperor dictated: "I heard that the bride of the eldest son of the King of Qi was extravagant in her dowry. Now there is a severe drought in the north, and the victims are displaced. However, the treasury is empty and unable to provide disaster relief. I beg my uncle to lend a hand in this time of crisis, save the people from the water and fire, and save the people from the predicament. I and the people will be grateful for the kindness of my uncle."

Wang Bianxiu quickly drafted the imperial edict. After the emperor reviewed it, he summoned the eunuch and said, "Go to Ping'an City immediately to convey the order."

"In addition, convey my oral order, uncle, you don't have to cry poor to me. I know you have silver. I order you to raise grain worth no less than 200,000 taels of silver and transport it to the north. There must be no mistakes."

The eunuch took the imperial edict, bowed and withdrew, and went to Ping'an City overnight.
