Zhou Jingyuan was shocked by the ability of Zhou Shiyu and Yue Ling to predict the unknown. They actually revealed the secret of poisoning in full view of the public.Zhang Tianshi witnessed all this, and he discovered something strange. It turned out that the jade pendants worn by the two men secretly protected them and saved them from danger.This jade pendant is extraordinary. It is a concentric pendant made of the Tianhe Divine Stone. There is an indescribable bond between the owners. They are the destined people for each other.
Zhou Jingyuan curiously asked Zhang Tianshi whether he would have the same ability if he took the jade pendant away by force.However, Zhang Tianshi told him that the jade pendant has a spirit and only recognizes its owner. Even if it is taken by force, it will not be able to exert its special functions.However, Zhang Tianshi also revealed that if the two could be separated, the jade pendant would not be effective.
Yue Ling lay on the bed tossing and turning, her heart filled with resentment at being humiliated by the noble girl and Gao Roy during the day.As the princess of Dong Yu, she still suffered such treatment. And how many hardships have those compatriots living outside Dong Yu experienced?Zhou Shiyu tried to comfort her, but Yue Ling said that she was not angry because of the poisoning, but because Beishuo's contempt for Dong Yu made their marriage meaningless.
In the court, the emperor talked about the emptiness of the treasury caused by successive wars. Zhou Shiyu proposed to implement the merchant system and make the Western Market a gathering place for business from all over the world.This move can not only show the demeanor of a big country, but also increase tax revenue.However, Zhou Jingyuan accused Zhou Shiyu of using the court's reputation to please Princess Dongyu, and the emperor also expressed the need to think carefully.
Zhou Shiyu's blatant shouting made Zhou Jingyuan very dissatisfied.At present, Tong Xinpei's protection prevents Zhou Shiyu and Yue Ling from being harmed, and the engagement tightly binds the two together.Lin Su suggested to continue arranging for Su Nian to get close to them, but Zhou Jingyuan looked forward to getting rid of the threat of these two people as soon as possible.
Xingyi accompanies Yue Ling every day. Yue Ling realizes what he is thinking and analyzes Su Nian's behavior for him.She thinks that the reason Su Nian avoids Xingyi is because she also likes him.Yue Ling encourages Xingyi not to give up.
Lin Su arranged tasks for Su Nian and Lingxi, but Su Nian was unwilling to accept them.Lin Su forced her forcefully, and Lingxi also persuaded her to reverse the case for her parents first.
At night, Su Nian drank alone to relieve her sorrow.Her heart is full of contradictions. On one side is the person she loves deeply, and on the other side is the blood feud of her parents.She understood that only by relying on the Prime Minister could she reverse the case for her parents.However, to gain the Prime Minister's trust, sacrifices must be made.She had fallen in love at the wrong time and could only blame herself for her ill-fated fate.
Yue Ling took Xing Yi to visit the rouge shop, and the shop owner recommended suitable colors for them.Xingyi thought of Su Nian and planned to buy a bottle for her.Just as they were about to pay, Gao Roy walked into the rouge shop and started taunting Yue Ling again.Yue Ling fought back without humiliation and revealed Gao Roy's grounding.Gao Luoyi was furious and prepared to beat the slave girl to vent his anger. Yue Ling took a closer look and found that the slave girl was actually Qi Yun.She was sold to Gao Luoyi and renamed Ashina Zhu, specifically to deal with Yue Ling.
Yue Ling asked Gao Luoyi to sell Qiyun to him, and Gao Luoyi asked for a thousand taels.Yue Ling couldn't bear to see Dongyu people suffering, so he agreed.However, raising this huge sum of money is not easy.
Zhou Zhixuan heard that Yue Ling was shopping at his rouge shop, so he wanted to take this opportunity to provoke Zhou Shiyu.After he found Yue Ling, he offered to lend her a thousand taels on the condition that Yue Ling must redeem Qi Yun.Yue Ling accepted his conditions, but Gao Roy bought several Dongyu female slaves to embarrass Yue Ling.
Zhou Zhixuan showed off to Zhou Shiyu the IOU written by Yue Ling. After Yue Ling saw the rouge box sent by Zhou Zhixuan, he suddenly had an idea and thought of an idea to make money.She asked Qin Siyuan to draw some unique patterns on the rouge boxes and decided to sell them in limited quantities every day.The money earned will be split 50-50 with Zhou Zhixuan, and Zhou Zhixuan is satisfied with this.
Zhou Shiyu drafted the management system of the Western Market, but the prime minister was worried that the security issues in the Western Market would affect the interests of Beishuo's merchants.The emperor decided to let Zhou Shiyu cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs to maintain law and order, and then make plans for the rest.
