"It's just jealousy! It's a conspiracy!"
The Marquis of Champion's Mansion.
Sheng Huainan picked up the wine glass and, reeking of alcohol, he complained bitterly to Lin Che beside him. His eyes were red and he was about to cry.
"One of the grandsons must have complained to His Majesty, which is why our library was closed down. I've already made all the necessary connections and spent a whopping 50,000 silver coins, and yet they still shut it down!"
Sheng Huainan was in tears as he saw that the future was bright and he was about to get rich.
But with an imperial decree, a group of people directly sealed off their library.
The two of them had nowhere else to go, so they had to hide back in the mansion to discuss what to do next.
Lin Che was also very depressed. He went to the palace in person to plead for mercy, but it was of no use.
This time, His Majesty wants to close his study, there is nothing he can do about it.
"Ah, it's a bad year. Come, have a drink."
The two clinked glasses.
Lin Che hooked an arm around Sheng Huainan's shoulder and whispered, "It's not allowed to be sold in Tiandu City. But can it still be sold in other places?"
"Ah? Brother Lin, this, this is an imperial decree. If we continue, we will be disobeying the decree..."
Lin Che was bold but careful, lowering her voice as she spoke, "Although Her Majesty sealed our library, did she punish me? Did she confiscate our printing machines? She didn't even reprimand the Sheng family, did she?"
"Uh... indeed. I was really panicked today, but it seems that there really is no follow-up. Uh, could it be that His Majesty forgot? Or is he going to come and confiscate our house tonight?"
Sheng Huainan was half sober as he spoke, and said quickly: "Should we run away now? Actually, I have some connections in Yanyun Country. If we go there to develop our business, this book will definitely sell well. The most important thing is, staying here is so scary..."
"Look at you, you're such a wimp. Don't panic. It's okay."
Lin Che just said something comforting.
There were a few knocks on the door, and without waiting for a response, he pushed the door open and came in.
It was Yu Huadian who opened the door. He didn't care about anything else and said quickly:
"Master—the palace has sent another imperial decree, just outside the door. This time, it's from Master Daonu again."
Lin Che frowned. Why did he come to deliver another imperial decree? Hadn’t he already punished her?
According to Jiang Li's personality, it is impossible for him to come back to convey the order after half a day, right?
"Oh, that's terrible." Sheng Huainan heard the order, let out a wail, and was about to escape through the window.
"Brother Lin, I suddenly remembered that my wife is giving birth, so I'll leave first..."
Lin Che didn't bother to pay attention to him and strode out to receive the order.
In the yard, Dao Nu had been standing with his hands behind his back, waiting for a long time.
"Master Dao Nu, everyone is here. Come in and sit for a while. You don't have to be polite when you come to my house."
Lin Che spotted Dao Nu from a distance, and also noticed that she was only accompanied by a few palace maids, with no guards or shadow guards.
Prove that this is not a house-raiding operation.
Dao Nu did not try to get close to him, but immediately began to announce the imperial decree.
Lin Che was also curious about what Jiang Li was going to do, so she immediately bowed respectfully to receive the order.
"I'm here today to convey His Majesty's oral order: With the Wuming Bookstore now unsealed, your book can be reprinted. However, whether the subsequent content alludes to the royal family requires His Majesty's personal review."
"Marquis Champion, you don't have much time. His Majesty will need to see the contents of your next volume when he wakes tomorrow morning. Do you understand?"
Lin Che was stunned for a moment. This was not a formal imperial edict, but an oral instruction.
His bookstore was also unblocked.
That's strange.
Her Majesty will personally review the next volume? Is this her own wish? Or does it require approval from the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television?
But no matter what, it's good news.
"My lord, I obey the order."
Lin Che replied and immediately took a few steps forward. "Master Dao Nu, is His Majesty no longer angry? Are you really going to reopen the shop and print for us?"
"Hmph. What do you think of His Majesty? His Majesty has always been very kind to you. This time, you are allowing him to reopen your business. You must not let His Majesty down."
"Yes, yes, yes. I will write the next volume tonight, no, the next two volumes. I will personally deliver them to the palace tomorrow morning..."
"good!"
The two men exchanged a few words, and Dao Nu took his men away.
"Oh, Brother Lin——"
Sheng Huainan had been hiding at the door, listening secretly. Now he came up with a smile on his face.
"Brother Lin, I never thought you could turn misfortune into good fortune. Good luck comes naturally to those who are lucky. My admiration for you is as strong as a surging river..."
Lin Che put one hand on his face, pushed the fat face away, and said:
"Okay, okay, don't try that. Let's get back to work and production. Who knows when His Majesty might get upset again. Find the agent right away and take action."
"Okay, Brother Lin. I'll do it right away."
Lin Che arranged everything and immediately went to the study to create.
Now Her Majesty the Empress wants to read the next volume, so he has to work overtime.
With the blessing of righteousness, he really wrote as if possessed by a god, at such a fast speed that he never stopped for a moment.
Swish, swish, swish.
When the sky was slightly bright, Lin Che finally stopped writing.
Looking at the two thick manuscripts, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Your Majesty should be satisfied this time."
He picked up the manuscript and was about to turn around and go out, but after taking two steps he turned back.
He used a brush to smear some ink on his sleeves, wrists, and neck, and looked at himself in the bronze mirror.
Yeah. Very good.
An image of someone working hard until dawn, not daring to delay at all, emerges.
