A carriage drove into Tai'an City, Zhao Governor Ling and Chu Renfeng personally drove, escorted by a hundred imperial city divisions, entered Tai'an City from the Vermilion Bird Gate, non-stop, passed through the Noon Gate, crossed the Jinshui Bridge, passed through the Zuo Chongmen, and drove towards the brilliant Cining Palace.

Li Yuanhao sat in the carriage, her eyes closed, motionless, seemingly quiet and peaceful, but her heart was like a fire roasted and fried, her whole body was abnormally hot, she clenched her hands, she still couldn't relieve the anxiety in her heart, and suddenly ripped open the button in her neck.

Reaching out to pinch the button, Li Yuanhao found that his hands couldn't help trembling at this time, on the way back to the palace, Li Yuanhao had a general understanding of what happened in Tai'an City, and his grandmother's body was no longer good when it was summer.

One day in early summer, the Empress Dowager came out of the flower room, wiped her hands, and sat alone on the soft collapse of Cining Palace, although there were cicadas, but the ancestor still felt a little cold, pulled a silk blanket to cover her legs, Shen Ning'er also as usual, every half time to Cining Palace to report, the treasury collection expenditure.

Shen Ning'er also brought the abacus team she trained and cultivated, ten little palace maids lined up, and cleared on the spot, Shen Ning'er's ten little palace maids are not simple, they are all personally selected by her, and they are good at oral arithmetic and mental arithmetic.

Moreover, in order to better withdraw the income and expenditure of the internal treasury, Shen Ninger also independently created several words and calculation methods, such as weighted average, mathematical variance, debt side and profit side, and used a set of evaluation systems that others thought were unbelievable to evaluate the income and expenditure of the internal treasury.

At the beginning, everyone felt that the eldest lady of the Shen family was messing around, waiting to see this harem celebrity make a fool of himself and be beheaded by his ancestors, but the result was dumbfounded, Neiku began to make a profit with a huge number, compared to these, what is even more jaw-dropping is that Neiku's profit showed an upward momentum, and by the way, those little palace maids who were selected by Shen Ning'er to take out of the palace also got enviable and jealous rewards, the most famous of which is the ten-person abacus team.

There was a crackling sound in Cining Palace, but the old ancestor who had always liked to be quiet and not noisy liked the sound of the abacus beads hitting back and forth, squinting, twisting the Buddha beads, and smiling at the corners of his mouth.

Shen Ning'er, who didn't know what the rules were, sat on the seat where her ancestors often sit, drinking tea, eating pastries, and drawing with a brush, her words were ugly, so in order not to be ugly, she simplified her workload and only drew the check sign or fork.

After reconciling all the bills, Shen Ning'er looked at the string of numbers, her eyes were curved like crescent moons, she was not interested in the silver itself, but she was extremely sensitive to numbers, every time she saw the numbers representing silver, she was very happy.

Simply add and subtract all kinds of numbers that have been summarized to get the final profit, Shen Ning'er walked in front of the ancestor with the account book: "Ancestor, take a look." The old ancestor glanced at it, then had little interest, put it aside, seemed to remember something, and his joy unconsciously raised his eyebrows: "The emperor is about to return to the palace." ”

Shen Ning'er, who already knew the truth, had no feelings, she had never had too many feelings for His Majesty the Emperor who was handsome and went out to travel the rivers and lakes alone, she couldn't talk about respect, she didn't hate it, she just didn't feel it.

Suddenly, the face of the old ancestor, who was still happy a moment ago, showed a deep sadness, and grabbed Shen Ning'er's hands suddenly, his voice trembled, like a drowning man who couldn't grasp the life-saving straw: "Shen girl, the mourning family is not a bad person, right?!" Shen Ning'er was taken aback, and before she could answer, the old ancestor fainted to death.

After the old ancestor fell ill, there was a discordant voice in the palace, the source was very secret, and the transmission process was tortuous, but the timing of the appearance was ingenious, hiding the murderous intention, killing people and punishing the heart - the old ancestor's illness was because Shen Ning'er was secretly troubled!

Stirred up a thousand waves for a while, whether it was groundless or not, the matter of the ancestors was a big thing in the Great Wei Kingdom, Dali Temple intervened in the investigation, Shen Ning'er was imprisoned for a few days, and then the old ancestor woke up, and Dali Temple had to release people.

Things seem to have passed lightly, but Shen Ning'er's situation has become dangerous, thinking of the incident of breaking into the palace and the Shen family's collective defection to Nanliang a few years ago, Shen Ning'er suddenly came to the cusp of the storm, and it was a little difficult to move in the palace.

Compared with Shen Ning'er's situation, another thing is even more shocking, on the second day after the ancestor fell ill, Li Xiuce, the little prince who was studying and writing in the Chengde Palace, was taken away by the Huns, and the whole process was silent, and the news was transmitted to Tai'an City, which was also three days later.

At this time, the Xiongnu wolves have fled to the north of the Great Wall, ten days later, the Xiongnu sent a letter, and the matter was spread in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but fortunately, the Imperial City Division reacted in time, pinched the spread of the news, and the matter was controlled in a very small range.

The ancestor specially instructed that neither of these things should be told to the emperor.

The year before last, the relationship between the little prince Li Xiuce and His Majesty the Emperor became more and more tense, in the past, when this kind of thing happened, the ancestor would always stand on the side of the little prince and suppress and blame His Majesty the Emperor, but this time, the old ancestor stood on the side of the emperor, and slapped the little prince hard when it was serious, and issued a decree to let the little prince go to Chengde Palace to study.

Since then, the little prince Li Xiuce has become taciturn, short-tempered, and once beat to death an accompanying little eunuch, afterwards, the little prince did not feel a little guilty, but felt happy, until he received a letter from the sticky pole to Chengde.

The letter is very simple, there is not a word, only two villains, holding hands, after seeing it, Li Xiuce jumped and jumped, very happy, and returned to his previous lively appearance in a few days.

Later, the little prince was plundered by the Hun wolves, and the ancestor ordered someone to block the news, lay on the bed, and quietly waited for Li Yuanhao to return to Tai'an City.

Li Yuanhao sat in the carriage and sorted out the matter before and after, but she couldn't grasp the connection, but her intuition told her that there must be some inevitable connection between her grandmother's serious illness and Xiuce's abduction, and someone must have made a ghost out of it, and the reason for the incident was Shen Ning'er? She didn't think so, with Shen Ning'er's ingenuity, she would not have done such a clumsy stupid thing, and instead of hiding herself, she entered the vortex and became the target of everyone. Of course, if it is found that this matter is related to Shen Ning'er, even if there is a trace of it, Li Yuanhao will definitely not care about putting Wei Zifeng's bloody head in front of Shen Ning'er, making her worse than dead.

Clenched the buttons in her hands tightly until her palms were sweaty, she still couldn't find the source of everything, but there was one point, Li Yuanhao was both puzzled and angry - Xiuce was taken captive, why didn't grandma negotiate with the Xiongnu and ransom Xiuce back?

"Woo ......" shouted, Zhao Duling tightened the reins, and the carriage stopped.
