Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

Did I tell you to build eighteen warehouses?

"Prime Minister, didn't you tell me to go all out and do it?"

"Alright, let me ask you, where did you get so much grain to fill all eighteen granaries?"

Liu Quan chuckled.

"I bought all the grain that could be collected near the capital."

"How much of the 37 million taels of silver is left?"

Upon hearing this question, Liu Quan shrank back.

"Your Excellency, all the grain has been spent. There is still some left, which is being transported to Qianzhou."

"Well done, kid. You have an appetite even bigger than the Prime Minister."

Li Yunsheng beckoned with his finger.

Go find a shield.

"A shield?" Liu Quan looked puzzled. "Prime Minister, what do you need a shield for?"

"Just go when I tell you to, stop with all the nonsense."

Yes, yes, yes.

Watching Liu Quan's departing figure, Wei Xiang felt a slight pang of sympathy from the roof beam.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Liu Quan returned to the hall with his shield.

"Prime Minister, they've arrived."

"Ah."

Li Yunsheng nodded, then turned to the first page of "The Six Jia Seal Techniques".

"Let's start with this fireball seal."

"Prime Minister, what seal?"

Liu Quan suddenly had a bad feeling. He saw Li Yunsheng form a hand seal and a flash of fire appeared.

"Your Excellency, spare my life!"

He finally understood what the shield in his hand was for.

Chapter 62 Li Yunsheng!

"Are there any acupressure points for laughing in this area?"

"It's the kind of laugh that you can't stop having."

"Wei Xiang?"

Seeing that no one answered, Li Yunsheng spoke loudly.

"Liu Quan!"

Liu Quan rushed to the hall and then stood cautiously at the door.

"Prime Minister, what are your orders?"

Why are you standing so far away?

As soon as Li Yunsheng raised his hand, Liu Quan was so frightened that he retreated outside the door, only peeking his head in.

"Your Excellency, I'm scared..."

In the past few days, Li Yunsheng has experimented on him with all the basic hand seals of the "Six Jia Seal Technique".

Now, he reacts instinctively whenever he sees Li Yunsheng raise his hand.

"What are you afraid of? I'm asking you, where is Wei Xiang?"

"I just saw her go out."

"These past few days, she's been constantly out and about, never staying at home. Do you know what she's been up to?"

Liu Quan boldly walked through the door and then spoke.

"We only know that she went to Changxingfang, but we don't know what she did there."

Li Yunsheng thought for a moment, then stood up and said.

"Let's go check out Changxingfang."

……

Changxingfang.

A storyteller with a limp sat in a somewhat dilapidated courtyard, striking the gavel with his gavel.

"The story we're going to tell today is called 'Inviting the enemy into the trap'!"

There were three tables scattered around the courtyard, with a total of four people sitting there.

Wei Xiang occupied a table by himself.

Beside the table.

A blind girl of about six or seven years old carried a teapot, groped her way to the edge of the table, and poured her a cup of tea.

"Big sister, please have some tea."

Wei Xiang nodded, then suddenly remembered that the little girl couldn't see, and softly hummed in agreement.

I gently straightened the teacup and continued listening to the story she wasn't interested in.

Before long, a handsome young man sat down in the seat next to her.

Hearing the sound, the little girl knew that new guests had arrived.

The little girl immediately put on a smile and diligently added a teacup.

"Guest, please have some tea."

Only then did Li Yunsheng notice the little girl's eyes, and his gaze flickered.

Although I can't see, I poured just the right amount of tea.

He listened to the storyteller's tale.

"You came all the way here just to hear a story?"

Wei Xiang shook her head, then her gaze fell on the little girl.

"she."

At this moment, Li Yunsheng glanced at the little girl again.

She was just a blind little girl, nothing special.

He lowered his voice slightly: "What's so special about her?"

Looking at the little girl's profile, Wei Xiang felt as if she were seeing her former self.

“Teach her martial arts.”

Upon hearing these four words, Li Yunsheng doubted his ears.

"She's blind."

Although he had already lowered his voice enough, and there was the sound of storytelling coming from the courtyard,

But the little girl heard it all clearly. She pursed her lips and pretended not to hear it.

Wei Xiang shook her head, pretending to be quiet.

"She's not blind."

Ok?

Li Yunsheng looked at the little girl for the third time.

"Why did you choose her instead of teaching me, a martial arts prodigy?"

He wasn't jealous of a young girl; he was just curious.

Of all the people in the capital, why was this little girl who was pretending to be blind chosen?

"A martial arts prodigy?"

"Isn't that right?"

Wei Xiang said in a serious tone.

"You are not, she is."

Li Yunsheng was unconvinced.

"Duan Zhang said I have extraordinary bone structure."

"Six hundred and twenty taels."

Li Yunsheng: ...

Before he could speak, a guest who was listening to the story stood up and said.

"Old Zhang, I'm tired of these stories. If you don't have something new to say, I'm leaving."

Hearing this, the little girl looked worried.

Old Zhang opened his mouth, somewhat embarrassed.

"Old Xu, you're a regular customer, I've already told you all the stories I have in my heart."

Old Xu couldn't bear to leave in the end, so he sat down again, but muttered something under his breath.

"Why don't you learn a couple of new stories too?"

Li Yunsheng asked.

"When will you teach it?"
