Qin Chuan was worried about Ye Sheng's safety, and also worried about the peace between the two countries.
Shangguan Lingyun smiled faintly and nodded, "Don't worry, with Prince Dayu here, it will be difficult for Empress Dayu to become a big shot."
"What's more, the Qi family army that Queen Dayu relied on has been completely subdued by Crown Prince Dayu."
"I believe that when he returns this time, Prince Dayu will definitely settle all the old and new grudges with Queen Dayu."
"Ye Sheng and Princess Xinya are both intelligent people. We don't need to worry too much about their safety."
"Right now, the most important thing is the imperial examination and helping Prince Dayu."
"Given the relationship between Xiaoxiao and Dugu Xin, Dayu will be safest only if he falls into Dugu Xin's hands."
No one objected. When they heard that Shangguan Lingyun decided to send food and weapons to Prince Dayu, Ye Pengcheng was the first to respond.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let Ye Rong take care of the task of delivering food and armor to Dayu?"
Shangguan Lingyun thought about it and agreed, "It just so happens that Ye Sheng is stationed at the border with his troops, so it would be appropriate to hand this matter over to him."
"When necessary, he can still take action and lend a helping hand to Dugu Xin."
The matter was settled and no one objected.
Then, Shangguan Lingyun mentioned the last two herbs and the heart-linking poison.
"Your Majesty, do those two herbs really hold any clues?"
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, and Li Zhiming was very happy to hear that.
"Doesn't that mean that the eldest prince and the little princess will be able to detoxify soon?"
Shangguan Lingyun shook his head. "This matter seems simple, but it is not easy to do it."
The old Duke was the first to understand what was going on and immediately asked nervously.
"Your Majesty has not yet explained who has the two herbs."
Shangguan Lingyun glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao, and Ye Xiaoxiao spoke slowly.
"Of the last two herbs, one is in the hands of the Emperor, and the other is in the hands of Shangguan Yu."
When everyone heard this, they fell into deep thought.
"If the Emperor wants to detoxify, we can all understand."
"But Shangguan Yu collecting herbs is very puzzling."
"You know, he's only able to survive now because of this Heart-Linking Poison."
"But if the poison is removed, I'm afraid the first person the emperor will kill will be him."
Lord Sun shook his head upon hearing this, "Actually, Shangguan Yu's collection of medicinal herbs is not without benefits."
"We all know that every herb in the antidote prescription given by the Empress is unique."
"If one of them is damaged, it will be difficult to put it together again."
As soon as Lord Sun said this, everyone fell into deep thought.
After a long pause, Ye Fan finally spoke: "If that's the case, Prince Yu should have destroyed the herbs. Then why did he insist on hiding them?"
Everyone fell into deep thought again, but Ye Xiaoxiao spoke with a faint smile.
"Perhaps he thought that we couldn't collect all the herbs."
"If that's the case, then he can offer one of the herbs to negotiate with us."
"Even if he could use that herb to buy a chance to survive, he wouldn't want to be tied to the dying emperor."
Everyone thought so too. The emperor was already old and had a lot of hidden illnesses. He might die suddenly one day.
Shangguan Yu is less than 30 years old and certainly does not want to leave this world with the emperor.
Everyone thought it made sense, but they also knew that Shangguan Yu would definitely exchange this herb for something.
"Your Majesty, if Shangguan Yu uses herbs to buy a chance to live, what should be done with him?"
Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips, "I have already made a decision on this matter, so there is no need to worry too much."
"I asked everyone to come here today because I want you to tell us about what happened in the capital recently."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chang stepped forward first and said, "Your Majesty, due to the imperial examination, the most important issue in the capital is who can pass the exam."
"For this reason, many people secretly set up gambling games."
"But this isn't entirely a bad thing. The Tianji Bank's cash flow has changed significantly recently."
"In just one month, the bank's profits increased by 10% compared to the previous month."
After Ye Chang finished speaking, Ye Fan also stood up.
"Thanks to its reliability, many places have seen a reading boom, so bookstores have been doing exceptionally well recently."
After Ye Fan finished speaking, Wang Muxue continued with a smile.
"Although Yaoguang Pavilion's recent profits are not as good as those of banks and bookstores, they are still much better than before."
Shangguan Lingyun listened to the reports of several people with satisfaction, and then looked at Wang Muzhe and Qin Lei.
"Have any outstanding talents been selected from this year's literary and martial arts examinations?"
Wang Muzhe mentioned the top few candidates in the written test, especially Liu Yunting, whom Wang Muzhe praised highly.
"Your Majesty, although Liu Yunting was banished from the capital due to the Liu family's involvement, Mu Zhe is still deeply impressed by his talent."
"Another person is Xu Shu, the grandson of Imperial Physician Xu. He is not only well-versed in medical theory, but also has remarkable literary attainments."
"Although not as good as Liu Yunting, the difference is not that big."
"The others are scholars promoted from the local areas. Although they are poor, they are all ambitious people. Your Majesty may wish to meet them."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, then looked at Qin Lei.
Qin Lei is mainly responsible for the military examination, so those nominated are all those who are suitable to be military generals.
"Two of them are from military families, and a few are rural heroes."
