Mr. Gu was in a good mood and left with a smile.

The emperor looked at Qin Ye with a worried look in his eyes, "Seventh Wife, you... Even if I summon all the talented people in the country, they can't compare to the Gu family's survey team."

There is no chance of winning at all.

well.

Recently, not only has Prince Chen been rebellious and arrogant, but even Qin Ye has become frivolous and careless.

Could it be that because he had entrusted the Qingming Festival ancestor worship to Prince Li, the couple found ways to retaliate against him?

Qin Ye said calmly: "Father, the Gu family agreed to give me 20% of the iron industry. You should be ready to take over. With this 20% of the iron industry, the Gu family will never be arrogant again."

emperor:"……"

Defu: “…”

A group of eunuchs: "..."

You make it sound as if you have already defeated the Gu family?

It is good for a person to be confident, but if he is blindly conceited, he will become a fool who only knows how to brag.

Why.

The emperor sighed again.

If it were someone else, he would have punished him angrily, but Qin Ye was carrying the emperor's grandson in her belly, so he couldn't just sit back and watch.

"Seventh Old Wife, don't worry about this matter. Let me handle it. As for the bet, I will handle it when the time comes. The Gu family won't dare to do anything to you."

"The royal family has always been very dependent on the Gu family. The surveying technology in the hands of the Gu family is coveted. The army cannot do without weapons, the iron industry, and the Gu family..."

Qin Ye knew.

Because of this, the Gu family has the confidence to be so arrogant and look down on others.

It was precisely because of this that she wanted to dampen the Gu family's vigour.

How can such important property rights in the iron industry be held in the hands of outsiders?

What if the Gu family secretly colluded with foreign enemies and sold a large amount of pig iron for weapons to the enemy? Wouldn't that be like a time bomb that could deal a fatal blow to the Dongling Kingdom at any time?

"Father, don't worry. I know what to do."

The emperor waved his hands, thinking that Qin Ye was just showing off.

If it was something else, he could still use his power, but he really couldn't do it in this matter.

"Okay, Old Seven's wife, stop talking. Go back and stay calm and take good care of your pregnancy. I will take care of this matter."

For the sake of the emperor's grandson, he took the blame for Qin Ye.

If a similar incident happens again, he will definitely punish Qin Ye severely!

"By the way, I asked you to come to the palace today because of the flower of the dead." The emperor returned to the topic.

As soon as he finished speaking, Defu held up a small brocade box and presented it with both hands.

Inside the box, there was a delicate little petal.

"This is……"

"The imperial physician said that the medicinal properties of the flower of the dead are very strong. After the queen ate a little, she vomited blood and her internal organs were damaged and unable to absorb it. I want you to think of a way to take it without affecting the medicinal properties." said the emperor.

Qin Ye took the brocade box and looked at it carefully.

This flower of the dead has grown for thousands of years, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. Ordinary herbs may not be able to suppress its ferocity.

After a moment's silence, he closed the box:

"I will go back and think of a solution, but I cannot guarantee it."

"I believe in your medical skills." The emperor said, "Besides that, there is one more thing. After thinking it over again and again, I decided to mention it to you."

His expression gradually became serious and solemn, and he spoke tentatively:

"Some time ago, the Xiongnu in the northern border kept invading and causing troubles. The people there could not live in peace. I have sent two groups of people, but they were unable to suppress the Xiongnu. What I mean is... I want Old Seven to go?"

Qin Ye paused slightly.

The journey to the northern border is long and there will be a war, so it will take at least a year and a half, but she is due to give birth in more than three months.

When she gave birth, Zong Zhengchen was not around.

Of course she didn't want to.

The emperor saw her expression change and laughed:

"I'm just thinking this, don't worry too much, the most urgent thing is to give birth to the child in peace."

Now that the emperor has mentioned this, how could Qin Ye not be suspicious?

She should consider her country and the people and let Zong Zhengchen pacify the Huns, but she is not only the Princess of Chen, but also a woman.

When she needs him most, she naturally wants the man to be by her side.
