Chapter 46

Late at night.

Da Qian Imperial Palace.

Empress Wu Zhao stood in front of the window, the cold moonlight shining on that beautiful face, revealing three parts of coldness and seven parts of alienation.

Her pair of eyes were filled with endless nobility.

"Could it be that I really misread it?"

Wu Zhao looked into the distance, toward Linjiang City, her brows furrowed.

Cui Xinghe arrived in Qingshui City, and in just three days, the grain price in Qingshui City was not only contained but also plummeted.

The grain price was not only stabilized at eighty-two wen per dou but even dropped by another two wen, reaching eighty wen per dou.

During the disaster years, not only was the soaring grain price contained, but it also dropped again and again. This requires no small ability!

Cui Xinghe did not live up to her trust.

But Wu Zhao was not happy.

"You, you make me a little disappointed!"

Wu Zhao's mind was full of Gao Yang standing in the hall, talking eloquently. If dealing with the son of an enemy only made her look at him highly.

Then the subsequent "monkey play" game moved her, and even made her feel a chill from the bottom of her heart.

This is the person she has been looking for in her heart!

Therefore, she created this competition, using the tens of thousands of commoners in two cities as the world for them to display their talents and compete for victory.

Even in her heart, she favored Gao Yang more, so she gave Linjiang City, which had a greater disaster and more complexity, to Gao Yang.

But the grain price in Linjiang City soared all the way, and Gao Yang even wanted to renovate the yamen and hold large-scale activities during the disaster years, reducing taxes for those greedy merchants.

The more dazzling Cui Xinghe was, the more disappointed she was with Gao Yang.

"Forget it!"

"Talking on paper cannot take on great responsibilities."

The Empress shook her head, preparing to rest.

But just at this moment, a little eunuch rushed in in a panic.

"Report!"

"Official Shangguan sent someone to deliver a letter at the fastest speed, and it must be opened by Your Majesty personally!"

"Not only that, Official Du also sent out a fast horse again, sending a memorial, and specially instructed that this memorial must be opened by Your Majesty personally, and then copied to the Censorate!"

The little eunuch knelt on the ground.

Wu Zhao suddenly turned back, a terrifying nobility and majesty permeating around her.

"Present it!"

Wu Zhao's eyes flickered.

Shangguan Wan'er sent someone to deliver a letter.

Du Jiang also sent a memorial by fast horse, and both had to be opened by her personally.

Could it be that the public anger in Linjiang City could not be suppressed and a great chaos broke out?

Wu Zhao thought of many things in an instant, her eyes solemn.

She had just ascended the throne not long ago; if a war broke out at this moment, that would not be good news for her.

Thinking of something, Wu Zhao's eyes were cold.

In the Fengluan Palace, some sensitive eunuchs and palace maids didn't even dare to breathe when their eyes touched Wu Zhao's face.

Wu Zhao first opened the envelope and took out Shangguan Wan'er's personal letter.

As the content on the letter entered her eyes, Wu Zhao's expression also became extremely wonderful.

She immediately picked up the memorial written by Du Jiang, opened it, and quickly scanned it as well.

Slap!
