I knelt on the ground, my mind spinning rapidly, thinking of various countermeasures. This dog emperor is unpredictable and his mind is hard to guess. What should I do if he really punishes me? Run away? No, the transportation here is too backward. Where can I, a weak woman, run away? Besides, my father is still an official in the court. What will happen if I run away?

Just as I was lost in thought, Li Heng suddenly spoke up: "Look up."

My heart shuddered, and I slowly raised my head and met his gaze.

놛's eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through my thoughts. I tried to keep myself calm and forced a smile: "Your Majesty..."

"You are very brave." Li Heng's tone was cold and emotionless.

My heart skipped a beat. This old fox was still angry about what happened before!

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." I quickly admitted, "Your Majesty, I just spoke too quickly and didn't mean to disrespect Your Majesty."

"Oh?" Li Heng raised his eyebrows. "Then tell me, how do you disrespect me?"

I cursed inwardly, this old fox, he knew I was cursing but still made me say it out loud!

My eyes rolled and I thought, "Your Majesty, you are wise and brave, talented and strategic, and you are a wise ruler for the people." I paused and carefully observed Li Heng's expression. Seeing that he did not refute me, I continued, "Your Majesty, I think that your Majesty is busy and overworked. You should rest more and take care of your health."

As I spoke, I secretly observed Li Heng's expression.

놙 saw that 놛's originally tense mouth corners relaxed slightly, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.

Done!

I was secretly delighted, it seems this old fox is also someone who likes to hear nice words!

"You are quite good at talking." Li Heng's tone softened a little. "I want to ask you, why do you help the prince?"

My heart skipped a beat. This old fox still suspected me!

My eyes rolled and I quickly explained, "Your Majesty, I did not help the Crown Prince. I was just discussing the matter and sharing the concerns of the country."

"Let's talk about the matter at hand?" Li Heng sneered, "You are a woman of deep family, what do you know about national affairs?"

"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong." I straightened my back and said righteously, "Although I am a woman, I have read the books of sages and know that it is the duty of every citizen to share the worries of the king and serve the country."

I paused and continued, "Besides, I have been working in the business world for many years and have accumulated some experience. Perhaps I can help Your Majesty solve some problems?"

I actually said the truth. Although my ability to read minds is sometimes effective and sometimes not, I am still a modern business elite. When it comes to making money, there are really few people in this country who can compare with me.

"Oh?" Li Hengrao looked at me with interest, "Tell me, can you help me solve my problems?"

I was secretly happy in my heart, the fish was caught!

"Your Majesty, as you know, the empty treasury has always been a problem that has troubled the court." I paused and deliberately lowered my voice, "I recently discovered a business opportunity. If it is handled properly, it can bring huge income to the treasury."

"What business opportunity?" Li Heng was indeed interested.

I leaned close to Li Heng's ear and whispered my plan.

After listening to this, Li Heng frowned and fell into deep thought.

I looked at him nervously, feeling very nervous.

This is a plan I have been thinking about for several months. Whether it will succeed depends on Li Heng's attitude.

"Your plan is quite bold." Li Heng was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "But the risks are not small."

"Wealth and honor are sought through risk." I said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are the supreme ruler, are you afraid of taking risks?"

Li Heng looked at me deeply, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Okay! I'll believe you this time!"

My anxious heart finally settled down.

I knew my plan was successful.

And I finally found my feet in 녢눑.

That evening, Li Heng secretly summoned my father and me and asked me about my plan in detail.

Naturally, I did not dare to neglect and explained my business plan to Li Heng in detail.

After listening to me, Li Heng nodded repeatedly and praised my plan highly.

"Qingya, you really didn't disappoint me!" Li Heng said excitedly, "If your plan can really succeed, it will be a good thing for the country and the people!"

"Your Majesty is too kind," I said humbly, "I have only done my best."

"Good! Good! Good!" Li Heng said three good words in a row, showing how satisfied he was with my plan. "I will give you full responsibility for this matter! Whatever people or resources you need, just tell me, I will support you with all my strength!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" I knelt down excitedly to express my gratitude.

I know my chance has come!

I will definitely take advantage of this opportunity, show my talents and become the richest woman in the world!

That night, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night.

I seem to have seen my business empire rising!

However, I didn't know that my plan had already attracted the attention of some people.

And these people will become my worst enemies!

The next day, as soon as I got up, I heard the bad news: Crown Prince Li Chengqian was dead!

I was stunned.

How could this happen?

How could Li Chengqian die suddenly?

Suddenly, a bad feeling welled up in my heart...
