Chapter 24 This overwhelming wealth has finally come to her!

However, how could she, a young girl who had just come of age, know so much about the affairs of the concubines?

Sikong Yan was still wondering, when suddenly Shen Chaoyan's face came up to him, "By the way, Your Majesty, are you going to sleep, or continue reviewing memorials?" "Reviewing memorials

." Sikong Yan didn't want to dig deeper into the affairs of the Third Prince, for fear that he would hear more unbearable and dirty things if he dug further.

Moreover, his cold was not serious, and he had just deliberately acted very weak, just to find an excuse to get rid of the group of noisy women.

Now that his ears are quiet, it is more important to deal with the affairs of the court.

He has just ascended the throne, and if he does not seize the time to make achievements, it is inevitable that people will have other thoughts.

Shen Chaoyan's eyes lit up immediately. She rubbed her hands and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I have been very good at grinding ink since I was a child. You review the memorials, and I will be your book boy!"

Concubine Xian had received so many rewards for grinding ink. Today, this overwhelming wealth and honor finally came to her!

Sikong Yan chuckled and nodded his chin towards the inkstone, "Then grind it well."

"Yes."

Shen Chaoyan responded and buried her head in grinding ink diligently. Even if her wrist was sore, she didn't care at all.

Because she knew that rewards were waving to her.

Sikong Yan was really dedicated to his work. He was busy from dawn to dusk before he finished reviewing the memorials that had piled up like a mountain on the table.

"Finally, I can have dinner!"

Shen Chaoyan twisted her sore wrist and put down the ink stick.

After grinding the ink for so long, her eyelids were fighting.

'Snap!'

Before she finished her yawn, she heard a crisp sound.

Sikong Yan slammed the last memorial in his hand on the table and said angrily, "This bunch of bastards! They are greedy even for the food and grass sent to the border. They deserve to die!"

Shen Chaoyan was frightened by his sudden anger and asked Tianshu: [What's the situation? What happened at the border? ]

Tianshu: [The food sent to the border recently was mixed with a lot of sand and stones, which is completely inedible. The soldiers were hungry and had no strength to fight. They have lost three battles in a row.

Shen Chaoyan remembered that there was such a passage when he read comic books before, but the plot here is not important, and the author just mentioned it briefly. Later

, the city fell, and Shen Chaoyan’s elder brother Shen Yushu led the remaining soldiers to fight desperately, and finally died on the battlefield.

However, the third prince’s people pushed all the blame on Shen Yushu, slandering him for swapping food.

As a soldier, dying on the battlefield should be a worthy death, but Shen Yushu was calculated by the third prince and died at the hands of his most trusted friend. He was also blamed after his death.

There is a bigger conspiracy behind this matter.

It concerns the lives of all the people in the Shen family, and Shen Chaoyan can't sit idly by.

It’s too late to transport food back. Is there any other way to save it? 】

Heavenly Book: [Yes, the Wusha City that is now guarded by the soldiers of Daxia was once the territory of Wuhuan a few years ago. 】

Wuhuan is a vast country with few people. Influenced by the geographical environment and climate, it is mainly nomadic.

Two years ago, after the king of Wuhuan died in battle, he was buried in the Mausoleum of the Great Khan of Wuhuan.

The royal family of Wuhuan was worried about the lack of food and drink after death, so not only a lot of gold, silver and jewelry were buried in the mausoleum, but also a lot of wind-dried beef, mutton, flour and rice.

After reading the brief introduction of the Wuhuan tribe in the Heavenly Book, Shen Chaoyan immediately understood what the Heavenly Book meant: [As long as all the food in the tomb of the Great Khan of Wuhuan is brought to the military camp, the problem of food shortage can be temporarily solved. 】

Heavenly Book: [That's right. 】

Shen Chaoyan: [Wusha City is so big, and the entrance to this kind of royal mausoleum has always been hidden. How can it be found just by looking for it? 】

Tianshu: [The tomb of the Great Khan of Wuhuan is very close to the military camp stationed by Daxia. There is a deep well that is sealed. If you remove the top cover of the tombstone at the well mouth, there will be a passage leading to the bottom of the tomb. 】

Shen Chaoyan: [It’s useless for me to know where the entrance is. The problem now is how to let my eldest brother know this news. 】

"Ahem!"

Sikong Yan saw that she was worried in her heart, and deliberately coughed twice to remind her that the emperor was here, so is there any worry that the news would not reach the border?

Shen Chaoyan really turned his attention to him.

She first glanced at the memorial on the table and found a secret letter tucked inside it. "Your Majesty, the shortage of food and fodder at the border is a serious matter. The most urgent task is to solve the problem of feeding the soldiers. As for the culprit, we can deal with it later."

"There is no food at the border right now, and the 30,000-strong army cannot even afford to send the next batch of food and fodder. I went to Wusha City a few years ago, where the Wuhuan tribe once lived. I heard that their Khan was buried there after his death. Although Daxia conquered Wusha City two years ago, the land in the city is barren, and the food production is far less than that in the south."

While Sikong Yan was speaking, he suddenly turned to look at her, and that perfectly proportioned modeled face immediately caught Shen Chaoyan's pupils. "The people of Wusha City are also having a hard time. I can't let the soldiers snatch food from the people, don't you think?"

Shen Chaoyan met the solemn expression on Sikong Yan's face, and her brain froze for a moment.

This handsome face was too deceptive. Even though she knew he was not capable, Shen Chaoyan was still intimidated and blurted out, "I've read in a book before that the Wuhuan people used to have no place to live, and they were hungry. Therefore, after the death of their Khans, they would put a lot of food in the tomb as burial objects. I dare to imagine, before new food and grass are delivered, can we dig up the Great Khan's tomb as an emergency solution?"

Sikong Yan was waiting for this sentence, but he just raised his eyebrows and continued to ask questions without changing his expression, "The Great Khan's tomb cannot be found just by looking for it."

Shen Chaoyan was not seduced by the handsome man to tell the tyrant a solution. She was using the tyrant to pass the news to her eldest brother.

Thinking of this, Shen Chaoyan said with a clear conscience, "I remember that the book also said that the Wuhuan people believed in the water god and liked to worship wells. If the soldiers in the barracks find the well, they may be able to find the entrance to the Great Khan's tomb."

Sikong Yan's lips curled slightly and pretended to say, "After your reminder, I remembered that I had read such records when I was young. I immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to the border as fast as possible. In addition, I will let General Wen personally escort food and supplies to rush to the border."

Big brother was saved this time!

Shen Chaoyan watched Sikong Yan write a letter, and immediately picked up the ink stick again, "Your Majesty is wise, I will grind ink for you!"

"Yes."

Sikong Yan responded, lowered his head and began to write a secret letter.

"Look at me..."

A quarter of an hour later, when he turned his head to look at Shen Chaoyan, he found that Shen Chaoyan had fallen asleep on the bed.

In her sleep, her rosy lips opened and closed a few times, as if she was mumbling something.

Sikong Yan glanced at her childish sleeping face, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, and his body slowly moved closer to her.

However, when he was less than an inch away from Shen Chaoyan's lips, his movements stopped abruptly.

Sikong Yan wanted to move forward, but his body seemed to be out of control and retreated physiologically.

What's going on?

Go ahead!

Kiss!

Use practical actions to let this woman know that he is a normal man!

However, he found that he couldn't even kiss her!

Why? Why? Why?

He was very good at it when he faced Shen Chaoyan in Feiyan Palace last night, why is it not working now?
