“Go ahead.”
Feng Ruqing gave her order.
She was never stingy toward the loyal ministers.
‘Furthermore, they can help protect Liu Yun Kingdom in a much better way if their strength is improved.’
“Send a pot of wine to General Manor, the Qin family, Wei family, and also the Jiang family respectively. I want to go and visit my father in the palace. You’ll help me to send the wine.”
‘The Qin family, Wei family, and Jiang family are three famous and powerful families in Liu Yun Kingdom. Grandfather trusts them.
‘I trust my grandfather and so I trust those three families too.’
Master Qin had made a breakthrough to Spirit Warrior tier and there were only two families left now. There would be a Spirit Warrior in each family soon with the assistance of the spirit wine.
‘I’ll go and avenge my mother when Liu Yun Kingdom’s power is strong and stable.’
“Yes, Princess.”
Liu Li looked at Feng Ruqing with mixed emotions. “Princess is very outstanding now. If the empress is still alive, she would be very satisfied and happy.”
But, Empress Nalan’s death had become a pain in everybody’s heart. It was also a great loss to Liu Yun Kingdom.
***
The chancellor’s manor.
The chancellor listened to his subordinate’s report. His breathing was quick and heavy and he clenched his fists tightly. “Are you saying that the princess has given some rewards to a few ministers? Are there three Grade-3 spirit herbs in the reward?”
‘Five Grade-5 spirit herbs, ten Grade-2 spirit herbs, and a hundred Grade-1 spirit herbs!’
The chancellor’s heartbeat increased when he heard of this news.
He could not help but stand up. There was happiness and anxiety on his face. “Do you know why the princess is giving such rewards?”
The imperial guard replied obediently, “I learnt that from the maid who works in the princess’s manor. Those rewards are given to the ministers who took the initiative to fight Long Ao Kingdom yesterday night during the feast.”
Boom!
The chancellor’s body became weak and he fell down on his chair. His face was pale and he could not help but clench his fist as he slammed it on the table.
‘What did I do… that night?
‘A lot of ministers did not bother about how strong the enemies were. They just rushed forward to protect Liu Yun Kingdom.’
‘But I… I just hid in the corner and I dared not move. I was afraid that the people of Long Ao Kingdom would notice me.’
The chancellor did not think that his actions were wrong. ‘It’s reasonable if one wants to protect one’s own life.’
A clear sound was heard from outside.
The chancellor raised his head and saw Lady Liu standing at the door. There was a broken bowl on the ground in front of her.
The soup was all over the place but she seemed not to care about it. She walked toward the chancellor and she seemed quite shocked.
“Husband, did I hear wrongly? Five Grade-3 spirit herbs, ten Grade-2 spirit herbs, and a hundred Grade-1 spirit herbs! They are given to not only one minister. Where has Feng Ruqing obtained all these spirit herbs from? Are they given to her by His Majesty?”
But, it was a totally different concept with having all those spirit herbs and giving them away.
If they were given to Feng Ruqing by His Majesty, it meant that she had more spirit herbs because she could be so generous to give some of it away.
The chancellor frowned. “Lady, you’ve forgotten your place again. She’s a princess and you cannot address her by her name. Moreover, all the spirit herbs of Liu Yun Kingdom are stored in the national treasury. I know very well how many spirit herbs there are. Those spirit herbs are not given by His Majesty. They belong to her.”
Lady Liu was shocked. Her voice was trembling. “But, isn’t Feng Ruqing a useless person? Where has she obtained so many spirit herbs from? Did she go to the spirit shop to buy those spirit herbs? That would surely have cost a lot of money.”
