"The Empress?"
Qinghe was extremely anxious. Her mistress used to be just a village girl; how could she possibly solve the problem of the national treasury?
Besides, given the current situation, even the Minister of Revenue couldn't do anything about it, let alone a woman, right?
"Lord Wu is right. I have indeed thought about the issue of the national treasury, but it is not so simple to solve!"

Look at what their queen is saying; anyone who didn't know better would think she actually had some kind of solution!
"Your Majesty makes it sound so easy. Can the national treasury and the selection of concubines be resolved together? How?"
