I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1191 This young couple
It was really awkward for Li Xizhi and the other three to stay there, so they found an excuse and hurriedly left.

The main problem is that while it's nice to watch the young couple flirting, it gets too saccharine after a while.

After the four left, Xia Fengxiang changed the subject and looked at Su Chang'an, saying, "You're in charge of Ruyu's matter."

Su Chang'an pursed his lips, but looking at Xia Fengxiang's expression, he really didn't know what to say, so he finally nodded.

However, Su Chang'an looked at Xia Fengxiang and asked, "But, did Dugu Ruyuan take the list to the morning court session herself?"

Xia Fengxiang nodded, then looked at Su Chang'an and thought for a moment before saying, "Believe it or not, thanks to you, they're going to start overthinking things again."

Su Chang'an looked down at the list: "I feel this is an illness. We need to treat them."

Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Chang'an. This illness was quite good and didn't need treatment, but he still said, "I just don't know what they're thinking, or what they'll say."

After thinking for a moment, Su Chang'an said, "I'm sure I'll be invincible again."

Then he received a glare from his wife, along with the comment, "You think you're so invincible that you'd dig up the entire palace for eighteen taels of silver?"

……

In the courtyard of Su Wenqing's residence.

Su Wenqing, Mu Xu, and Li Jiulang gathered together. The food on the table wasn't fancy; it was just ordinary side dishes.

Originally, Madam Su knew that the Chief Minister and Prime Minister Li had arrived and was thinking of making arrangements, but Mu Xu jokingly said, "If something happens to you, this old man will definitely fight us to the death, so you should go and rest, we'll just sit for a while."

Li Jiulang also declined with a smile.

Unable to refuse, Madam Su bowed and left, but still instructed the kitchen to treat them well.

After eating a grape, Su Wenqing said, "Grapes are still a bit sour this season."

But after saying that, he looked at Li Jiulang and asked, "Jiulang, don't you have anything to say?"

Li Jiulang smiled and said, "I'm doing the math in my head."

Mu Xu laughed and scolded, "The matter hasn't even been settled yet, and you're already settling accounts?"

Li Jiulang said, "With Vice Commander Yan standing there, the matter is considered settled. We'll just have to see when they'll be more conscious and send the money they've amassed over the past few years into the national treasury."

Mu Xu immediately said, "Your Majesty and the Empress are truly remarkable. They've taken this step by step, and then found Bai Gui, who was courting death, as the trigger. Just like a cannon, once the fuse is lit, BOOM! It explodes!"

Su Wenqing smiled and shook his head: "If it's not Bai Gui, then they've probably prepared other people as well. Ru Yuan's side will have to put in the effort to start investigating them one by one."

But after saying that, he chuckled and said, "Ru Yuan, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and An Xu, the Prefect of the Capital, must be under a lot of pressure."

Mu Xu said with a smile, "It's been almost two months since I came back. The Empress has only left the palace a few times. I was wondering why something always happens to her every time she goes out. It seems like she calculated it all."

After Li Jiulang helped Mu Xu, Su Wenqing poured some wine and said, "Shouldn't you have started calculating things as soon as you came back early?"

Thinking of His Majesty and the Empress's return and their encounter with the Liu and Yang families, Mu Xu immediately laughed and picked up his wine cup: "From regaining their reputation from the Liu and Yang families, then dealing with the Zhang and Yan families to manage the relationship between merchants and officials, and then getting the money those little kids had amassed to fill the empty national treasury, and the Empress personally arresting that Rao Jiang person who has close ties with Shu, and then the Bai Gui incident, reputation, money, interests, warning those who are wavering and indecisive. It all seems normal, but step by step, a poison war is beginning to prepare for dealing with the King of Shu."

At this point, Mu Xu laughed and said, "We old folks are getting old after all."

Su Wenqing said, "That kid Ruyu's move to beat someone up today was truly ingenious."

Su Wenqing finished his drink in one gulp and put down his wine cup: "The people His Majesty sent were squatting and beating people at the gate of Chengtian. It just so happened that such a thing happened in the court this morning. Luckily, that old man Kuanqi was smart enough to see it and set a good example, otherwise they would probably all be crying at home. It's good that they got beaten up. After they got beaten up and paid the money, everything will be fine."

After taking a sip of his wine, Mu Xu suddenly said, "Judging from this, it seems that the deputy commander was making preparations in advance when he fought Liu Kan and Xun Kuang that day. If so, is there a backup plan?"

Su Wenqing was silent for a moment, then shook her head and looked at Mu Xu: "You're not going to get beaten up anymore? Didn't Yan Yunxiao say anything to you?"

Mu Xu rarely spoke honestly: "That woman came and hit me, then left, and even took a jar of wine that Lin Han had given me before she left."

As he spoke, Mu Xu rubbed his nose. Although it looked much better, a slight red mark could still be seen upon closer inspection.

Li Jiulang smiled and said, "I was just thinking that if we start dealing with the King of Shu, then we must have a backup plan. I just don't know how His Majesty and the Empress have arranged it." Mu Xu said, "We'll see if things go smoothly or if there are other developments."

However, after Mu Xu finished speaking, Su Zifeng, carrying juice and side dishes, entered the courtyard.

After placing the juice on the table, Su Zifeng said, "The eldest daughter told me before that you should drink less alcohol, as you're getting old. This juice is good; it'll help you when you crave alcohol."

Su Wenqing frowned, somewhat disgusted by the juice. It was delicious, but nothing beats wine.

Mu Xu smiled at Li Jiulang, but didn't say anything.

Su Zifeng said, "I bought some lychee wine from Lingnan, and it's on its way. You can drink it when it arrives."

After saying that, Su Zifeng asked, "Father, I just heard outside that His Majesty stripped Deputy Commander Yan of his position as Deputy Commander of the Crimson Cloud Army, demoted him to an ordinary soldier in the Crimson Cloud Army, and fined him a year's salary. It is said that the Deputy Commander beat up the officials at the Chengtian Gate today. What happened today?"

Upon hearing this, the three looked at Su Zifeng.

Mu Xu pressed on, "Where did you get this information from!"

Su Zifeng immediately said, "It's spread outside. I believe it came from the palace; otherwise, they wouldn't dare to spread such news so carelessly."

Mu Xu immediately looked at Su Wenqing.

After a moment of silence, Su Wenqing laughed: "Doesn't this further confirm what we were talking about?"

……

Lingqi Pavilion
Su Chang'an just got scolded again.

The main reason was that his wife went to take a shower, and when he went to check on her, he got scolded and kicked out.

It's quite annoying.

It's not like we haven't seen it before!

I just wanted to experience the thrill of peeping at people taking showers, and I still got scolded for that.

However, Su Chang'an wasn't the type to get discouraged after being scolded; if he wasn't allowed to watch, he simply wouldn't.

So he went back to his small table and started writing a letter to Su Liheng.

By the time Xia Fengxiang came out, the writing was almost finished.

Xia Fengxiang looked at the contents of the letter and then at Su Chang'an with a puzzled expression: "Those dolls can be sold for money?"

Su Chang'an nodded seriously: "At first, I also thought it wouldn't sell. It's just a passing fad, something people do for fun. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized there's potential, and it's a whole industry chain."

Xia Fengxiang was too lazy to ask any more questions; these things could be dealt with once they were done.

Just now, she suddenly remembered something and casually asked, "Speaking of which, I heard someone say this morning that Mr. Luo said that Caiyunjian really likes you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Chang'an immediately turned to look at the cat.

The cat is tidying up the flower bed with Lu Cai.

He noticed Su Chang'an's gaze.

The cat immediately said, "His Majesty gave me four medicinal herbs! Four! How could I refuse!"

Su Chang'an hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xia Fengxiang.

Xia Fengxiang glanced at Su Chang'an, then picked up a memorial: "Don't be nervous, I was just asking casually to confirm something, so that I can add more names when I talk about those girls in the future."
