Chapter 771 You want the horse to run, but you don’t want it to eat grass.

So Tu Chenyu really didn't dare to spend money anymore.

After thinking it over again and again, Tu Chenyu murmured: "Thank you for your kindness, sister Princess. I..." Tu Chenyu didn't know how to express his family's current predicament.

He took a deep breath and said, "I can't let my family spend any more money."

Shen Xia listened to the word "waste".

Doubt in mind.

Could it be that the Tu family is not well off? Then why did Tu Chenyuan give so much medical fee before?

Shen Xia had many doubts in his mind.

He slowly said, "The consultation fee I paid before already includes it, so you don't need to pay extra."

Tu Chenyu was puzzled: "Really?"

Shen Xia nodded: "Of course! Why would I lie to you? Besides, your eldest brother gave you a lot of money before."

Tu Chenyu said half-believingly: "Okay!"

Shen Xia looked at Tu Chenyu's puzzled expression and asked, "Is the income of your general's mansion not good enough?"

Tu Chenyu looked at the princess's sister's puzzled expression.

He thought the princess wouldn't harm him, and she was his savior, so he told her about the general's mansion.

After listening to it, Shen Xia finally realized that the Tu family was probably the same as Xiao Bei.

Before, she was sighing, why were they all generals, while Xiao Bei was as poor as a beggar.

I want him to support me every year.

Of course, they also achieve win-win cooperation.

Song Jin's business can be exported, and it is all escorted by his army.

Besides, Fanhua Village is not far from the border. If there is really instability over there, it will sooner or later affect my hometown.

Now it seems that the results of being a general are all the same.

Shen Xia also understood the current emperor's thoughts.

This suspicious disease is really serious.

She suddenly understood why her mother later gave up the power of millions of soldiers.

Your Majesty really wants the horse to run but not eat grass.

The Tu family also has 300,000 soldiers and horses. If the military pay is really not enough, then the deficit will be huge!

Shen Xia also understood the difficulties faced by the Tu family. They were defending their country, but they had to subsidize their own military pay.

Shen Xia asked: "Don't you have your own business?"

Tu Chenyu nodded: "Yes! But those businesses are average, and with hundreds of thousands of troops, the daily expenses are not low!"

Shen Xia was thinking about the strategy she had come up with with Xiao Bei before.

The army produces and sells its own products, thus saving a lot of money every year.

Just like in modern times, the army had its own plantations and farms.

This will reduce the amount you buy.

"When your eldest brother is not on duty, tell him to come to me. I have something to talk to him about."

Tu Chenyu was curious, what did the princess want to do with her brother?

But she didn't ask any more questions, because the princess must have her own methods.

Royal Palace

Gu Yichen was reviewing memorials in the imperial study.

Zhao Ping was serving beside him.

After a while a young eunuch came in.

Zhao Ping stepped forward and asked about the situation.

At this time, ordinary eunuchs were not qualified to report directly to His Majesty.

Everything was reported to Chief Steward Zhao first, and then he reported back to Your Majesty.

Gu Yichen didn't raise his head, but asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Ping told Princess Anping and Princess Gu Ziyan that they had opened a beauty salon in the capital today.

Gu Yichen nodded.

He knows about this.

After all, he had seen Anping's Kou Dan, and she was indeed beautiful.

Even the queen made a set and couldn't put it down.

I heard that Xiyue left the palace this morning.

"Xiyue went there too." Gu Yichen asked.

Zhao Ping lowered his head: "Yes."

"Ah."

"I heard there was a little accident."

"Gu Yichen raised his eyebrows: "What's the surprise?"

Zhao Ping caught Miss Xu beating Princess Anping's men in front of the store.

But on the way back, he accidentally broke his hands and feet.

Gu Yichen then looked up: "Anping did it."

Zhao Ping shook his head: "She slipped on her own, and the maid and servant were watching her."

Gu Yichen pondered, what a coincidence.

Why is he so unbelievable!

At this time Qingyun came in to report something.

Gu Yichen looked at Zhao Ping and said, "Go out and see what snacks are in the kitchen."

Zhao Ping nodded: "Yes."

Then he slowly backed out.

Of course he knew that His Majesty didn't want to have snacks.

Qingyun is your majesty's secret guard.

He usually wears a half mask, so no one knows what he looks like.

They, the Qinglong Guards, are only responsible for the safety of Your Majesty and obey His Majesty's orders.

After watching everyone go down.

Qingyun then said, "The princess left the city to look for Princess Anping."

Gu Yichen was curious about why Anping went out of the city!

Then Qingyun continued, "I heard that the princess's adoptive parents came to the capital, and the princess went out of the city to look for someone, but was ambushed on the way back."

Gu Yichen frowned: "What's the result!"

I think it should be fine. After all, I haven't heard of any problems.

I just heard that they had complicated feelings when they encountered an ambush.

He was worried that his aunt had other thoughts, but when he heard that something happened to her, he felt very complicated.

In fact, he knew from a young age that his aunt was very good to him.

Moreover, when the throne was unstable before, it was his aunt who helped him consolidate the throne.

But the Queen Mother asked me to act with caution.

Outsiders know a person’s face but not his heart. Only she truly loves him.

But when people have been in high positions for a long time, they also feel that imperial power is supreme, and who wouldn’t want it!

Qingyun frowned and said, "I checked the place where the princess was ambushed and found the murderers. There were dozens of them. All of them were good at martial arts, but they were all dead. I found a strange thing, so more than half of the killers died from this thing. They were killed in one blow."

Gu Yichen was puzzled: "What is it?"

Qingyun took it out from his arms and opened the paper.

Then he placed it on Gu Yichen's desk with both hands.

That’s right, those were the bullets that Shen Xia instructed Li Yi to fire.

When Gu Yichen saw Qingyun taking something out of his arms, he couldn't help but feel confused.

What kind of hidden weapon could be so small?

He stared at the piece of paper intently, and saw an inconspicuous little object placed on it, its size was astonishingly small.

Gu Yichen's brows were furrowed tightly, as if he could catch a fly.

He thought to himself: What is this? Why have I never heard of or seen it before? How can such a tiny thing have such destructive power?

Full of suspicion, he raised his head, cast his gaze towards Qingyun and asked, "Where was this thing found?"

Qingyun looked at His Majesty solemnly and said slowly, "When I examined those assassins, I was shocked to find that many of the corpses had no obvious external injuries and no signs of poisoning, but they were all lifeless and dead."

"So, I carefully investigated the cause of their death and found that they all died of heart damage without exception."

"After a lot of searching, we finally dug this thing out from the dead man's heart. We can conclude that this thing was the cause of their death."

Hearing this, Gu Yichen's hand, which was originally stretched out to pick up the bullet and take a closer look, suddenly froze in mid-air.

Thinking that this thing was actually dug out from a dead person's heart, he felt a chill run through his heart, and his hand was unable to move forward at all.

unlucky.

He quickly withdrew his hand.
