Chapter 155 The Regent's Suspicion and Backhands
Luo Chu smiled slightly, "In a few days, I'm afraid the prince will no longer have any doubts."

"Ah?" The man in gray scratched his head, his face full of confusion, but the husband didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask again.

The study in the forecourt of the Regent's Palace.

After everyone left, the anger on the Prince Regent's face gradually dissipated. He sat back in the armchair and stared at the direction in which everyone left, his eyes were calm and cold.

After a while, an old eunuch walked to the regent Qin Wei.

The regent asked, "Did you see who betrayed me from behind?"

The old eunuch shook his head with a neutral and hoarse voice, "Go back to the lord, the old slave didn't see it for the time being, the old slave thinks that the Minister of the Household Department should be wronged, and that old dog still doesn't dare to betray the master. But... ..."

"Say!"

"Yes! But Mr. Chu, my old slave, can't see through it. Your Majesty might as well send someone to spy on you."

"Luo Chu?"

The old eunuch bowed his head and acquiesced.

The regent frowned slightly and said, "Send your people to watch secretly."

"Yes, my lord."

There was a sound of bead curtains banging at the side door next to the study. The old eunuch turned around and saw the Princess Regent. He quickly saluted the Princess Regent and said, "The Princess is here. I send my regards to the Princess."

The Princess Regent glanced at the old eunuch, then walked quickly to sit next to the Prince Regent.

"My lord, the palace is ready, and Qian Wei has also sent a message. When do you think the general election should be arranged?"

The regent glanced at the regent princess, "Are you sure? The Xia family is ready?"

The Princess Regent smiled flatteringly and said: "I have always brought Xiwei with me before. You have seen that child many times. She is the most thoughtful in everything she does. If it is not arranged well, she will not let anyone send me news. Now. I’m just waiting for the prince’s order.”

"Well, let's make it five days later."

"Okay, now that the prince is confirmed, I will go and send the news to Xiwei. Congratulations to the prince for getting one step closer to that position."

The corner of the regent's mouth slightly raised, "Thank you, princess."

The small courtyard where Gu Yufei lives in the Prince Regent's Mansion.

The woman guarding the gate was angrily pushed away by General Liu. Before anyone could stop General Liu, General Liu had already broken into the courtyard and headed straight for Gu Yufei's boudoir.

After entering the room, regardless of the fact that there was still a maid serving Gu Yufei in the room, General Liu grabbed Gu Yufei's arm, picked her up and threw her onto the bed.

The maids in the room hurried out in horror, not daring to stay for a moment longer.

Half an hour passed.

The screams in the room gradually died down.

General Liu walked out of the room neatly dressed, his face no longer as violent as when he first arrived.

After General Liu left, the maids dared to enter the room.

Lifting off the brocade quilt, Gu Yufei's tormented body was covered with welt marks, and the bed was even more messy.

Gu Yufei clutched the quilt tightly, her eyes filled with hatred.

The dam was repaired and the rain stopped. Thanks to the large amount of relief food provided by Qin Shuhuang, the victims were able to save their lives, and the number of refugees entering the capital gradually decreased.

I believe that within a few days, the flood will subside.

In the past two days, Lu Zhou went to the East and West Markets every day to inquire. The price of food has been dropping. After the flood is over, even if the food is more expensive than in previous years, I believe it will not be twice as expensive. Such a price is still acceptable to the people of the capital.

When Ye Xuan goes south to bring the autumn grain from the south, the grain in the capital will drop again, and it will only be about [-]% to [-]% more expensive than in previous years. This is an acceptable fluctuation.

Qin Shuhuang was thinking about the post-disaster reconstruction plan, Ruihe hurried in to report, "Your Highness, Du Shizi and Song Yiqiu are back, and want to see you right away."

"Lead them to the study in the front yard, Ben Gong will be here soon."

Ruihe nodded and left.

Qin Shuhuang changed her clothes, and as soon as she left Yuanxiang Garden, Xuan Cang silently followed Qin Shuhuang with her sword in her arms.

Qin Shuhuang didn't care about him and let him follow.

After entering the study in the front yard, Du Qinglin and Song Yiqiu were already waiting in the study.

Xuan Cang leaned against the door of the study with his sword in hand but did not come in. Qin Shuhuang glanced at Rui Miao beside him and pointed at Xuan Cang's position. Rui Miao immediately understood what His Highness meant.

When Qin Shuhuang entered the study, Rui Miao walked up to Xuancang and said, "Commander Xuancang, Your Highness wants you to go to the back."

Xuan Cang was slightly startled after hearing Ruimiao's words.

"Commander Xuancang, follow me."

Soon, Ruimiao took Xuan Cang around and took Xuan Cang to a room behind the study to rest.

Then let the servant girl serve tea and snacks, and then retreat with them, leaving Xuancang alone in the room.

Xuan Cang raised his deep eyebrows and looked, this is a bedroom behind the study.

On the hanger next to it were the homely clothes that Qin Shuhuang usually wore.

There are small tables, armchairs, and rose chairs beside the bed, which are the places where Qin Shuhuang's study can rest after being tired.

He lowered his head and looked at the tea and snacks brought by the maid on the small table.

It turned out to be what he likes to eat.

Qin Shuhuang's favorite thing on weekdays is to lie on the rose chair and drink tea while watching the scenery outside the window.

By some strange coincidence, Xuan Cang put down his sword and walked to the rose chair to sit down. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea. He took a slight sip. The aroma of the tea overflowed, and the set of cups seemed to be the ones Qin Shuhuang used to use on weekdays. set.

Xuan Cang couldn't help but reveal a warm smile.

Leaning on the rose chair and looking at the scenery outside the window, soon you can hear the voices of Qin Shuhuang, Du Qinglin, and Song Yiqiu in the study.

Xuan Cang was taken aback for a moment, and then became more relieved, His Highness never thought of hiding anything from him.

Perhaps he was too tired from running around in the dark these past few days, so he leaned on the rose chair and felt the cool breeze blowing in front of him, which made him feel comfortable and relaxed, and he fell asleep in a short while.

In the study here, seeing Du Qinglin, Qin Shuhuang asked worriedly: "Cousin, how is Auntie doing recently?"

Du Qinglin smiled and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, since Doctor Song showed my mother the last time, I have been watching my mother take medicine on time. Her health is much better than before, and now she can take care of the household expenses by herself."

Hearing what Du Qinglin said, Qin Shuhuang breathed a sigh of relief, "When the flood is over, I will come to visit my aunt in person."

Du Qinglin said with a smile: "I guess mother can't wait any longer and will go to His Highness's house to see His Highness first in a few days."

Qin Shuhuang laughed, "That's fine, if my aunt comes, I will cook for my aunt myself!"

"No, Your Highness, it is better to bypass the temple of mother's five internal organs."

Since the matter of Mrs. Ma in Rongguo Duke's Mansion was dealt with, Du Qinglin has become more cheerful. Mrs. Rongguo has not been alienated from her adopted son Du Qinglin, but is more like a pair of biological mother and son. To be honest, many biological mothers and children have no Mrs. Rong Guo and Du Qinglin have a good relationship.

Mrs. Rong Guo arranged for Du Qinglin to marry Xu Siyuan of the Xu family, and the wedding date was set for next spring.

In the past, the Du family and the Xu family were family friends, but now they have become relatives by marriage, and the relationship is even closer.

Qin Shuhuang asked Du Qinglin and Song Yiqiu to sit down. Du Qinglin was fine, but Song Yiqiu was overwhelmed by the flattery, and he hesitated when he sat down.After a while, Shi Yu brought tea, and Song Yiqiu felt even more embarrassed.

After everyone else in the study had exited, Du Qinglin's face became serious and he said, "Your Highness, find out who did it when the dam was destroyed."
