Chapter 627

In reality, it was not just the Emperor.

She now also extremely and highly appreciated this Jia Hui.

He was capable in both civil and military affairs.

He could win battles, solve cases, write poems and essays, and now he even had the ability to do business!

What kind of "Wushuang Boutique" making a fortune every day—this was too profitable!

What kind of business could earn hundreds of thousands of taels in less than half a month?

If he could be won over for her own use,

then she would be invincible and successful in everything within and outside the Great Gan!

Imperial Consort Zhuo immediately became energized.

"Your Majesty, since this so-called Wushuang Boutique is so profitable, why don't you..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can the Son of Heaven compete with the people for profit?"

Li Shiming shook his head.

Besides, not to mention that it was inappropriate for an Emperor to compete with the people for profit,

furthermore, this was his most valued and appreciated capable subordinate at the moment.

He hadn't even rewarded the man with money, yet he would covet the man's money?

That would be disheartening.

He was a man who cared about his reputation.

Naturally, he would not do such a thing.

"Hmph, if you won't do it, then I will." Upon hearing this, Imperial Consort Zhuo felt even more secretly delighted.

She planned to find an opportunity later to contact Jia Hui.

However, how to win over this Jia Hui was a problem.

She would have to plan this out.

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty, you still haven't said why you are worried." Imperial Consort Zhuo asked, coquettishly shaking Li Shiming's arm.

Li Shiming frowned: "It is about Ni Huang's marriage. I just heard from my subordinates that the Northern Yan delegation has arrived, and a man named Baili Qi has been crushing everyone. If Ni Huang marries into Northern Yan, the Great Gan will be in trouble! The Southern Region might become unstable."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. Our Great Gan has many talented people. How could mere Tatar barbarians be our match... At worst, we can just let Marquis Wushuang Jia Hui handle it himself!" Imperial Consort Zhuo comforted him.

"This... if Minister Jia takes action, I am confident he can certainly crush the opponent."

"The problem is, he already has a wife!"

Li Shiming was stunned, feeling a moment of pleasant surprise.

But it was only for a moment.

Just as he fell into worry again, "Your Majesty! Inner Attendant Yang has an urgent matter to report!"

"Send her in."

【433】 The Emperor is furious; he favors the Crown Prince and Consort Yue.

Yang Huan was a capable subordinate whom Li Shiming trusted deeply.

Yang Huan understood him extremely well.

He also knew that she wouldn't call something an urgent matter unless it was truly important.

There must be a very critical issue.

This made Li Shiming solemn, guessing what the problem was.

"Could it be that Baili Qi truly defeated everyone? Does our Great Gan have no one to resist?"

This made Li Shiming's expression become very ugly!

It did not let him guess for long.

After Yang Huan appeared, she immediately told the whole story.

"Consort Yue poisoned Ni Huang, and the Crown Prince brought Sima Lei to commit an outrage against Ni Huang? -"

"Treacherous consort, rebellious son!!!"

Li Shiming was instantly enraged!

Imperial Consort Zhuo on the side, however, was secretly delighted beyond measure!

As for this inner palace,

the most favored woman

was Empress Liu E!

No one else could compare.

However,

the Empress had a fatal flaw.

That was that Liu E had no children!

Her only child died early in her youth.

Therefore,

Imperial Consort Zhuo did not fear her the most.

Next were she and Consort Yue who were the most favored.

Then came Consort Yang, mother of Prince Cao, and Consort Gao, aunt of Gao Hui, and others.

As for Consort Jing, mother of Prince Jing, she was not very favored.

Therefore,

seeing Consort Yue suffer a setback

was a huge joy for Imperial Consort Zhuo, who was one of the biggest beneficiaries.

It is worth mentioning that Imperial Consort Zhuo's son was the Second Prince, Li Sheng!

Li Sheng was fond of martial arts and flamboyant, but usually kept a very low profile; he was a meticulous person who was both righteous and evil.

"Immediately have Consort Yue and that rebellious son crawl over here."

Li Shiming said in a rage.

As he was speaking, Consort Yue had already appeared with the Crown Prince.

Both of them fell to their knees before Li Shiming with a thud.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Take care of your health!"

Imperial Consort Zhuo did not kick them while they were down.

That would be too stupid.

Li Shiming was not the type to listen to slander easily; it would only have the opposite effect.

Therefore, she only spoke to Li Shiming in a gentle and soothing manner.

"Are you trying to anger me to death so you can seize the throne?"

"Why are you so stupid? Ni Huang is the pillar of our Great Gan's Southern Region! How could you do such a stupid thing!"

"Are you trying to force Ni Huang and the Southern Region army to rebel?"

"Or are you trying to usurp the throne?"

One must know,

the soldiers of the Southern Region were extremely loyal to Princess Ni Huang, to the point where they only knew the Princess and not Emperor Yongshun.

One can imagine the prestige Princess Ni Huang held in their hearts, which was why Li Shiming had to force Ni Huang to hold a martial arts competition to find a husband.

Therefore, if something happened to Ni Huang,

it was very likely that the Southern Region would fall into chaos.

For the Great Gan, which was already surrounded by enemies and faced with internal and external troubles, this would absolutely be adding frost to snow!

Therefore, no matter when, intelligence is a good thing.

The Crown Prince's plan to have his subordinate bully Princess Ni Huang was truly too stupid!

Whether it succeeded or failed, it was a terrible move!
