Chapter 140

Duoti, the pioneering general of Wu Yun Country, had been bribed by the Chu State.

Now he had become one of the 108 conquerable characters in the elite map of Jing Country?

Xiao Yunzhou was once again shaken by the inner voice of the fairy's daughter.

"Your Majesty?" Jiang Li, the Minister of Revenue, reported the drafted loan policy, only to see the emperor's stern expression. His heart sank, "Is there anything wrong?"

Xiao Yunzhou took a breath and held up the memorial about the loan again, waving it in front of the fairy's daughter. Seeing that the fairy had no comments, he nodded to Jiang Li, "Yes, proceed with it promptly."

"You did well this time." Xiao Yunzhou did not stint on praise.

After all, this was a memorial that even the fairy's inner voice did not criticize.

"Jiang Li, you used your brain this time. I'm gratified. Keep it up."

The Minister of Revenue Jiang, with dark circles under his eyes, beamed instantly.

Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand, letting him go and handle it, while pondering himself.

How to conquer Duoti?

"Wei Zheng, go summon the Duke Zhengguo and a few other veteran generals. I have something to ask them."

Duoti was a military leader, so Xiao Yunzhou planned to inquire about methods to conquer him from the generals of Jing Country.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yunzhou looked down at the daughter in his arms and saw that Chu Chu was already yawning sleepily. His heart ached instantly, and he hurried to put her back on the small bed in the imperial study.

"Have my palanquin take the Third Princess back to Concubine Liu's quarters."

"..." Wei Zheng let out a startled sound, "Your Majesty, that's improper!"

Xiao Yunzhou glared at him, "Shut up. No one will know if you don't spread it!"

Wei Zheng trembled in fear. The emperor was truly doting on the Third Princess.

With such a daughter, Concubine Liu could surpass even the empress.

Wei Zheng understood whose side he should be on in the future.

In Kunning Palace.

The Eldest Prince had finally recovered from smallpox and returned to Kunning Palace to see his mother, the empress. But he found the palace maids distressed.

"What happened?" The Eldest Prince did not understand.

Soon, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace leaned in and whispered to him.

"Your Highness, don't ask the empress about it. She's upset."

The Eldest Prince was taken aback and listened carefully.

"Today, His Majesty commended Concubine Liu and ordered the Ministry of Rites to send all the necessary items for her promotion to a concubine of higher rank to the Donghua Palace."

"It's all because she created something that His Majesty praised endlessly, similar to the leaf game."

The Eldest Prince's eyes widened. He knew it was the Great Wealth game.

That game was vastly different from the leaf game!

The Eldest Prince shook his head disapprovingly at the chief eunuch Zhou Anda. "You haven't tried this game, so don't jump to conclusions."
