The two countries have frequent exchanges and cooperation not only in politics, but also in their open borders, allowing merchants to travel freely and trade goods.
Such trade policies benefited both sides greatly, and various goods and cultural elements were exchanged.
Yuwen Zheng believes that as long as they persevere, the two countries may be able to jointly create a prosperous future.
However, Ah Li wasn't concerned about who the man was at all. Instead, she asked Yuwen Zheng, "Did you order the investigation into Grand Tutor Tong's embezzlement case?"
Yuwen Zheng said, "I just had someone collect the evidence and then give it to your sister."
"How much did he embezzle?"
"You really want to know?"
"Um."
Yuwen Zheng then said, "The assets counted from Grand Tutor Tong's residence exceed five years' worth of the imperial court's revenue."
Ahri was shocked. How come she was still standing here perfectly fine?
Yuwen Zheng patted Ah Li's head and said, "Ask your sister later, and you'll know."
Ah Li then asked, "Then why did you dismiss the harem?"
Yuwen Zheng hugged Ah Li and said, "I didn't want you to know."
"But I still found out."
"So, do you love me even more now?"
"Yes, I love you even more now."
"Then it would have been worth it."
Ah Li and Yuwen Zheng didn't linger outside for too long before heading back together.
After Ah Li returned, she asked Tong Jiajia and learned that Tong Jiajia had put righteousness before family and had the Tong clan elders write a letter severing their father-daughter relationship with Grand Tutor Tong. She even clapped her hands three times in front of the hall.
Therefore, Ahri was fine in the harem, and so was Tong Jiajia.
Later, Ah Li and Yuwen Zheng had twelve children, completing the twelve zodiac animals. Ah Li was also moved from the position of Imperial Concubine to become Empress.
When their first child grew up, Yuwen Zheng personally taught him the art of governing the country.
When the eldest prince turned twenty, Yuwen Zheng passed the throne to him, and he became the retired emperor, taking Ah Li on a trip to enjoy the scenery.
