Chapter 32
Chapter 32 : Minister mansion’s most talented woman (14)
Bai Zhenzhen now had great ambition and a great goal . She would not only publicize the idea of equality for all to the commoners, create the notion of a peaceful society, but also broaden the roads and make businesses flourish .
When she heard that the Godly Medical Valley was high in the mountains, she suggested setting up a cable car up to the Godly Medical Valley, making the Godly Medical Valley ‘s owner greatly amazed .
Bai Zhenzhen’s reputation became even more buzzing .
Today was the day when the Crown Prince of Yun Country had an audience with the Emperor . The Emperor arranged a big banquet . Almost all the officials, big or small, were present .
“This Bai Zhenzhen is indeed a person of extraordinary talent . ” At the banquet, the Crown Prince of Yun Country said absentmindedly .
Although he spoke with admiration, his face that always had a look of someone working hard to reach the heavens now had a look of indifference .
He looked at the dazzling Bai Zhenzhen who spoke frankly and with assurance in the main hall . After only a moment, he withdrew his gaze, not showing the same endlessly amazed gaze as the other .
The Third Prince and Bai Zhenzhen had also continuously paid attention to the Crown Prince of Yun Country . Bai Zhenzhen’s hands held a huge wealth . According to fast and abundant news, her wealth was even better than the Third Prince’s .
She knew that the man who surpassed her in terms of money had his headquarter in Yun Country . Moreover, the Crown Prince of Yun Country himself was also a man of great talents who had a big plan . Yun Country occupied a small area, but its military treasury was superior to other countries’ .
“Third Prince, try to get involved with the Crown Prince of Yun Country as much as possible, there is the world’s first richest behind Yun Country . As long as they have his support, we will only have twice the effort for half the results . ” Bai Zhenzhen whispered .
This could be thought of by Bai Zhenzhen, so the Third Prince could also naturally think of it . Therefore, when the imperial banquet finished, he hurriedly followed the Crown Prince of Yun Country and left with him .
Finally, in the Imperial Garden, the Crown Prince of Yun Country’s path was blocked . The Third Prince humbly cupped his hands, “Crown Prince, I…”
When the Crown Prince of Yun Country thought about it a little, he knew what the Third Prince wanted to say . The corner of his mouth hooked, plastering an arc on his face . “I’m sorry, Third Prince, I want to urgently go meet your distinguished country’s Majesty . I don’t have time . ”
This was precisely rejection .
The Third Prince’s smiling expression disappeared . After half a day, he took a step back . ”Then, we will have the opportunity to talk again . ”
The Crown Prince of Yun Country indifferently answered . He lifted his foot and left, regardless of the Third Prince whose face was not very good .
At a corner of the Imperial Study, when the Crown Prince of Yun Country saw a group of people, his footstep stopped .
The court recorder at his side saw his appearance . Surprised, he couldn’t help but look in the direction of his gaze . After a glance, he somewhat looked distracted .
Ahead of him was a young woman . She was walking slowly, covered with a layer of light muslin, like mist enveloping her, a beautiful and tranquil face like an ink wash painting, shining brightly .
The face of the black clothed man at her side was abnormally white, but his whole person was nevertheless still graceful . When he saw him, he only felt his ears could not ear the noise around him until he reached him . Moreover, the girl next to the man was in no way inferior to the man .
When passing by the two people, the Crown Prince of Yun Country greeted them very courteously .
“Crown Prince, why on earth do you treat her with such a good attitude?” The Court Recorder had hated Ye Huaijin, this official on the battlefield, so much that his teeth itched . Naturally, he knew Ye Shaohua . He pursed his eyebrows . “Just a moment ago, Second Miss Bai spoke of the people’s livelihood and you attentively stared at her and listened to her . But this Miss Ye was actually resting her upper body on the table and sleeping . I didn’t expect Ye Huaijin’s little sister to not understand etiquette like this . She is plain and foolish, only a good-looking face, so it’s no wonder that the Third Prince risked offending Prime Minister Ye and refused to marry her . ”
He mainly wanted to warn the Crown Prince not to be confused by the charm of beauties . Ye Shaohua was unworthy of his interest, unworthy of Yun Country .
“Court Recorder, you have always been an all-seeing pearl, I didn’t expect to see you be wrong this time,” The Crown Prince of Yun Country moved his finger once . “Didn’t you see who that General Su was particularly attentive to? This Miss Ye, really interesting . If my assumptions are correct, those soldiers’ methods were all planned by her . This kind of brain, even though I am conceited, I have no choice but to admit that I am not as good as her in this field . As for the Third Prince, it’s possible that his… brain doesn’t function well?”
At this barbarian words, the respected Court Recorder was scared into jumping . “Don’t, she is only a tiny woman, how could she understand these things, Crown Prince, don’t play a joke on me!”
He always thought that Ye Shaohua had followed after Ye Huaijin so they could join in the fun, and he never met her head on .
But at the bottom of his heart, he was very hesitant . That important general Su had indeed continuously kissed up to Miss Ye from the moment Miss Ye appeared at the banquet until she left .
The Crown Prince of Yun Country did not take care of him . He just looked at Ye Shaohua’s departing back and slightly narrowed his eyes . He always felt that… Her departing back was somewhat familiar, was it a misperception?

Since Huangfu Yunzheng came back from the battlefield, his body had been getting worse by the day . He had always grown up next to a medicine pot, but he had never been in such a sick and weak state .
“These things I brought back, I’ll let my big brother help you with it,” Ye Shaohua folded the memorial to the emperor on his desk and got up . “You rest properly, I want to go back to the mansion . ”
Huangfu Yunzheng coughed a little . He watched Ye Shaohua busily come and go, and his eyebrows gradually softened .
As for his own appearance, he looked completely powerless .
Inside the house, Huangfu Yunzheng’s close guard saw Ye Shaohua leave and just after she left, the Crowned Prince spat blood . He could not help but wipe his eyes . “Crown Prince, let’s go look for the Empress?”
In the past, Huangfu Yunzheng would absolutely never let people look for the Empress for him .
But now, he thought of Ye family’s people, Huangfu Yunzheng closed his eyes . “You, go . ”
His close guard was overjoyed and immediately went to find the Empress .
“Let me find Third son and let him convince Bai Zhenzhen to go with him to invite Godly Medical Valley’s people?” The Empress looked at Huangfu Yunzheng’s close guard and sneered, “When I looked for him, did he still remember that I’m his Imperial Mother . Before, I let him hold the Godly Machine Camp and when I let him give it back to Third son, what did he say?
Hearing this, Huangfu Yunzheng’s close guard incessantly kowtowed . “But Empress, the Godly Machine Camp was originally the Third Prince’s but he resolutely pushed the Crown Prince to accept it . Moreover, the Crown Prince is your son… you can’t unfeelingly watch him die ah!”
“You, leave . I’m unable to help with this matter . ” The Empress didn’t want to listen at all, and directly let her people drive out the guard .
She poured herself a cup of tea, the pupils of her eyes were indifferently cold .
The Crown Prince was with the Emperor since he was a child . She was not close to him . She only had Third Prince . Nowadays, Bai Zhenzhen was closely related to the Godly Medical Valley . It was equal to the Third Prince having cordial relations with the Godly Medical Valley .
At this time, how could she allow her Third Son to open his mouth and go look for the Godly Medical Valley’s people for Huangfu Yunzheng .
This favor was better be used on a blade, not wasted on the Huangfu Yunzheng .
She wanted to become the dynasty’s most respected Empress Dowager . She couldn’t ruin the enterprise for the sake of one basketful 1 .
Huangfu Yunzheng ‘s close guard returned to the Crown Prince’s palace . In the study, looking at the shadow of the gently swaying candle, he couldn’t bear to tell him the facts .
Huangfu Yunzheng set aside the lampwick . He apparently already had known the outcome long ago and didn’t wear a grieving expression . ”Go and bring me the imperial edict Imperial Father gave me . ”
He didn’t dare to imagine how his Third Younger Brother would handle Ye Family if he succeeded the throne . So, before he died, he would find a way for these people(Ye fam) to survive .
Otherwise, he would not die peacefully .
Hearing this, the close guard couldn’t help but weep bitter tears . The Empress’s heart was extremely ruthless . For the Third Prince’s benefit, she would look on unfeelingly as her own son dropped dead!
Nowadays, the Crown Prince’s illness was getting more and more serious . The different court councilors were coming and seeing the Crown Prince less and less .
Usually, there were unexpectedly only two families left still coming, Ye’s and General Su’s families .
On this day, Ye Huaijin came to deliver the Crown Prince an accounts book . The close guard could not help but complain tearfully to him .
“I know about this matter . ” Ye Huaijin pursed his lips . He had already looked at Bai Zhenzhen’s people . On one side, he was pacifying Huangfu Yunzheng ‘s close guard, on another side, he was walking over to Bai Zhenzhen .
In the few months on the battlefield, Ye Huaijin had been won over by Huangfu Yunzheng ‘s abilities . It would be a great pity if that person really died in this kind of way .
Bai Zhenzhen was not surprised that Ye Huaijin came to look for herself . Her eyes showed a smiling expression . “Young Master Ye, I merely helped with the cable car, I don’t know the Godly Medical Valley’s people at all . You came to find me, but I’m afraid you looked for the wrong person . ”
In fact, she had been in contact with the people of the Godly Medical Valley, but she felt that the Crown Prince already had no more value and she didn’t want to waste time on him .
At this time, it was better to get involved with the Third Prince and go think about gun manufacturing .
“I think you should look for the Third Prince now, it’s not too late,” Bai Zhenzhen said with a smile on her lips . “Rest assured, I will not be as narrow-minded as Miss Ye . I will not talk badly about you to the Third Prince . Only, it’s unlikely that I will help you come to an agreement with him either . You, Ye Family, need to fend for yourselves . ”
She felt that the Crown Prince was already completely forgotten . At this time, she did not Ye Shaohua throw stones at Ye Shaohua who fell down a well so she was already broad-minded for a modern person .
