Chapter 362
After Concubine Bo came to her senses, she immediately answered Dongfang Qiu's question, and said, "That woman Dong Rong wants the emperor to investigate everything about the Maitreya Sect, such as who is behind you, and where you are hiding after returning from the grassland. .”

"She came prepared!" Thinking of Dong Rong, Dong Fangqiu's chest felt tight.

Concubine Bo nodded, "Who says no? But I can't do anything to her. I wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Dong Rong, but I didn't expect the emperor to hesitate at a critical moment, saying that he would wait for the spies to report back." .”

Concubine Bo saw Dongfang Qiu's weak and powerless appearance, and couldn't help feeling distressed, "Forget it, let's ignore Dong Rong's affairs for now. What's wrong with you? Why did you become like this when you came back? Did you eat on the grassland? What trouble? After you came back, you seemed to be completely drunk, and no matter how you shouted, you couldn't wake you up. Even if you woke up occasionally, you were just in a daze. Why did you scare me like this?"

Dongfang Qiu sighed heavily, "Batu is not a good person. It is hard for me to say whether we can achieve our goal by joining forces with him, but we can only take one step at a time. As for my unconsciousness after I came back, it was because I drank too much."

"What do you mean?" Concubine Bo didn't smell any alcohol at all, so how could Dongfang Qiu's coma and daze be related to alcohol.

Dongfang Qiu told all the things that happened, but omitted the story of himself appearing naked in the field.

Concubine Bo was furious, "I didn't expect Batu to be such a person. He really thought he was so special? Although his iron cavalry could become a team that the courtiers of the Great Qi feared, if they really wanted to fight, they still don't know." Who will lose? When the Ai family sees Batu in the future, they will definitely avenge you."

Dongfang Chou waved his hand, "Forget it, it's not easy for us to walk this way. After seeing a lot, we will understand that encountering these strange people and strange things is inevitable. In the future, there will be opportunities to compete with Batu. Now is the time when he is needed , let’s not move around. After listening to what you said just now, I understand that although Batu is not a Khan, his iron powder is still enough to make some ministers in the court panic. What the ministers fear most is war. Every time there is a war, the salaries of the ministers will naturally be reduced, although it is not much, but it will still make these misers feel distressed."

Concubine Bo nodded, "You are right, not only the salary will be reduced, but their expenses will also be reduced."

With the support of Dowager Bo, Dongfang Qiu got up from the bed. Dowager Bo advised Dongfang Qiu to lie down on the bed for a while. Dongfang Qiu waved his hand, "It was so uncomfortable to be drunk that day. I will never forget that feeling in my whole life. , Now I finally have a clear mind, and I don’t want to lie in bed anymore. Tomorrow I will leave the palace and walk around. It’s so rare to be able to walk around soberly.”

Concubine Bo couldn't help crying when she saw Dongfang Qiu's appearance, "You have suffered."

Dongfang Qiu saw that Concubine Bo was crying for him, and patted Concubine Bo on the shoulder, "I'm fine, for you, no amount of suffering is worth it."

"Dongfang..." Dowager Bo leaned into Dongfang Qiu's arms emotionally.

Dong Rong had just returned to Zhongshan Prince's Mansion not long ago, and just wanted to see Murong Huaide in the inner courtyard, and wanted to tell Murong Huaide what happened today.However, just as Dong Rong stepped into the inner courtyard, Jia Er said that important people wanted to see their Princess Dong.

Dong Rong wondered, "Who?"

"Your Majesty." Jia Er answered truthfully.

Dong Rong followed Jia Er to the hall of the Zhongshan Palace. The emperor was already standing in the room, facing Dong Rong, facing the plaque of the Zhongshan Palace.On the left side of the hall, there is an object, which is two feet long and one foot wide, and is covered by a piece of fine red silk.

Dong Rong followed the emperor's gaze to look at the high-hanging plaque. The plaque was made of blood dragon wood, and the words "Xiaolian Founder" were written on it in majestic and majestic fonts.

"Chen and concubine see the emperor."

Dong Rong saluted the emperor.

Only then did the emperor turn around and help Dong Rong up, "Princess Dong doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly."

Dong Rong stood up with the emperor's help.

The emperor said to Dong Rong gently: "I made you laugh at the imperial study today."

After Dong Rong invited the emperor to sit down, she ordered her servant girl to pour tea, and said to the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty, you don't have to say that. Concubine Bo is a little excited, maybe because the thoughts in her heart are a little different from yours and mine."

The emperor nodded slightly, "She is a woman with a strong desire to control. If she finds out that anyone does not follow her wishes, she will be furious. The concubine mother has always been like this, and I hope Princess Dong will forgive me a lot."

Compared to the emperor, Dowager Bo is really incompetent as a mother.

Dong Rong smiled and said: "Your majesty is being polite. If the concubine is really for the good of Daqi, I should listen to what she says. I am afraid that the concubine will be used by someone. If it is as I guessed That's the most dangerous thing."

The emperor nodded, "What Princess Dong said makes sense. I also sealed Princess Dong's workshop due to pressure. Although there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Princess Dong's workshop is completely fine, I believe Princess Dong."

When Dong Rong heard this sentence, her eyes brightened immediately, "What does the emperor mean, can I let the workshop reopen for business now?"

The emperor's face was a little pale, and there was helplessness in his eyes.

The brilliance in Dong Rong's eyes dimmed immediately.

Seeing Dong Rong like this, the emperor felt very sorry, and said: "I came this time to tell you about the workshop. Today in the imperial study, I have my mother and concubine here, so I dare not promise myself. Wait for the mother and concubine to come back. After the palace, I immediately went out of the palace in a carriage and chased after Dong Wangfei's palace. Those workshops have been sealed, and they cannot be unsealed for the time being. Only after the matter is clarified. I am willing to compensate you for the loss caused by Princess Dong."

Dong Rong was a little surprised, "Why?"

"Because I trust the king and concubine of Zhongshan. The money from the treasury flows to the palace of the king of Zhongshan. I feel relieved and at ease." The emperor said.

Dong Rong laughed in her heart, the emperor really spoke directly.He also knew that Dong Rong and Zhongshan King Murong Huaide had always been kind and generous. If there was a natural disaster, Dong Rong and Murong Huaide would have already set up a shed to help the victims before the court had spoken.The money from the national treasury flowing to Dong Rong is not considered a loss, at most it is considered a transfer.

However, the emperor's compensation for the loss caused by the closure of the workshop still warmed Dong Rong's heart.

Dong Rong thanked the emperor, and also had a slight affection for the young emperor. He was no longer the little emperor who was restrained by Concubine Bo, but became more and more assertive.

Seeing that Dong Rong accepted, the emperor was relieved.Then, the emperor said again: "This time I also brought a plaque, which is for you."

Only then did Dong Rong realize that when the emperor came, she vaguely heard the sound of beating gongs and drums, and thought it was an auditory hallucination, but now she realized that the sound of beating gongs and drums was not because of her auditory hallucinations, but because of the real sound .

"Come on."

The emperor shouted softly, and four eunuchs came in neatly in two rows. After saluting the emperor and Dong Rong, they respectfully walked to the plaque and pulled the red silk of the plaque.

"Shang Kui".

The emperor saw that Dong Rong was still a little unresponsive, so he quickly said: "I have seen everything that the King of Zhongshan and the princess have done in Daqi. I have no chance to experience your hardships, but I can feel them and see them." What kind of cause, what kind of fruit, your hard work has paid off now, and the canning business is getting bigger and bigger. It may be difficult to find a bigger industry than your canning workshop in Zhongshan Wangfu in Daqi State A long time ago, I wanted to give you this plaque, but I never had the opportunity. Now is not a good time, but I still want to give it to you, so that the world can learn from you."

Sending the plaque at this time, Dong Rong knew that the emperor wanted to tell the world that Dong Rong's canned food industry was trustworthy.And he sealed Dong Rong's canned food business because of the situation and business.

Dong Rong was very moved, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The news about the emperor sending the plaque to Dong Rong reached Dowager Bo's ears, and Dowager Bo slapped the person who reported the letter first, "Bastard, where did you hear the bad news? No matter how willful the emperor is, he won't What kind of plaque should I give to that woman Dong Rong at this time, let alone the plaque of 'Shang Kui'."

Eunuch Guo, who came to report, covered his face. If he hadn't wanted to ask for a reward, he wouldn't have appeared in front of Concubine Bo.It seemed that he miscalculated again, not only did he not get a reward for the news, but he was slapped instead.It's really shooting yourself in the foot.

After Eunuch Guo left, Concubine Bo told Dongfang Qiu what Eunuch Guo said.

Dongfang Qiu pondered for a moment, then said: "Then who is Eunuch Guo?"

Concubine Bo's face was full of disdain, "Who could he be? It's just a dog servant in the palace, no different from other dogs. Seeing the news, she thought she could get some reward and ran to the master. Yelling. I think it’s been too long since he saw the appearance of rewarding money, so he made up some nonsense and ran in front of me to play wild. I don’t even know who the Ai family is. I have spent most of my life in the harem, so I can trust him nonsense?"

Dongfang Qiu said: "According to the emperor's character, it is possible for him to do such a thing."

"what?"

When Eunuch Guo told the news, Concubine Bo also vaguely felt that it might be true, but she hoped it was fake, so she kept hinting to herself that Eunuch Guo was just for reward.But now listening to what Dongfang Qiu said, Dowager Bo believed even more that the emperor could do such a thing.

"How stupid!"

Concubine Bo shook her head, "I really don't know what he's thinking."

Dongfang Qiu said: "It seems that Dong Rong has really fascinated him. I can't stay any longer, and you don't want to keep me anymore. After we have settled these matters properly and fulfilled our wish, We spent a lot of time together."

Concubine Bo nodded reluctantly.

Dongfang Qiu hugged Concubine Bo to comfort her.

Although Concubine Bo didn't say anything more, she was still not reconciled in her heart, she was the one who gave birth to the emperor, and she single-handedly supported him to the throne, so what can Dong Rong do?She actually let the emperor listen to her, and even gave her some kind of plaque.

Concubine Bo looked up at Dongfang Qiu, and the two looked at each other, thinking of ways to deal with Dong Rong.
