There is another idea that Nan Lingye has never dared to think and believe, that is, An Ran is dead.

Sighing silently, Nan Lingye closed his eyes, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

At this time, the palace people timidly announced at the door: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Ning has come down." ”

When he opened his eyes again, Nan Lingye regained his usual indifferent expression, and there was no trace of warmth in his cold eyes.

"Ask him to come in. Nan Lingye said.

Soon, Nan Lingyu walked in and saw Nan Lingye sitting on the bed, and an imperceptible strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Brother Huang, why did you come here?" Nan Lingyu asked, in fact, he knew very well that Nan Lingye wanted An Ran to come.

"Something?" Nan Lingye didn't answer his words, and asked directly.

"We received an emergency report that the western part of the country was severely affected, and now there is not only a serious famine, but also a salt shortage. Nan Lingyu frowned and said.

Hearing this, Nan Lingye's brows furrowed, "Salt shortage?

"The matter is still under investigation, but according to the current situation analysis, it should be because there is a problem in the salt factory over there, and there is no way to produce it. Nan Lingyu said.

"Finding out the specific cause and finding out the cause can solve the problem. Bring in salt from somewhere else first. The order was sent down, and the nearest places to the west were ordered to assist, and in addition, the imperial court spent 5,000 quintals to go to the west for disaster relief. Nan Lingye said in a deep voice.

"I see. There is another problem, the food problem is easy to solve, and the salt shortage problem is probably more thorny. Nan Lingyu was worried.

Salt transportation has always been the lifeblood of the country, and for a long time, official salt and commercial salt have been the main supply channels, and now official salt cannot be supplied, so we can only resort to commercial salt.

"Either way, we have to find a way to solve it. ”

Nan Lingyu thought about it, looked at Nan Lingye, and proposed: "Brother Huang, this time, we have to ask for help from someone. ”

"Who?"

"The leader of commercial salt and salt transportation, the general manager of the winning brand, cold shock. Nan Lingyu said.

Hearing this, Nan Lingye's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he didn't answer, but his blue eyes were unusually deep.

"But to see this person, you have to meet another person first. Nan Lingyu continued.

"Go on. Nan Lingye said coldly.

"Shangguan's family in the capital, Shangguan Jing. ”

As soon as the words came out, Nan Lingye raised his eyebrows, Shangguan Jing? I didn't expect that in the end, Shangguan Jing would have to help in this matter.

"I'll do it, you deal with the disaster relief first, and then I'll handle it properly, and then I'll tell you what to do." Nan Lingye said in a deep voice.

Nan Lingyu nodded, "Since that's the case, let's do what the imperial brother says." ”

Looking at Nan Lingye's appearance, he must have already made a plan, so let's do his job first.

"In addition, I will be out of the palace for a few days, and the affairs of the palace will be handled by you for the time being, if there is anything important, tell Fu Jing. He knows how to contact me. Nan Lingye explained.

"Good. Nan Lingyu responded, presumably preparing to go out of the palace to Shangguan Jing to discuss how to deal with the salt shortage.

Early the next morning, Shangguan Jing came to find An Ran, An Ran had just gotten up, and heard that Shangguan Jing was coming, An Ran asked him to come to the courtyard of the main hall, and asked people to prepare breakfast and bring it over, it was still so early, presumably Shangguan Jing hadn't had breakfast yet.

"Brother, why did you come to look for Ah Ran so early today, is something going on?" An Ran asked.

Shangguan Jing smiled, closed the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Knowing that he is a brother, Mo Ruo Ran is also." ”

"It seems that Ah Ran guessed correctly, so Brother Qing, tell me, what good things happened, right?" An Ran chuckled.

"It's not a good thing, but it's also a happy thing, Brother Ling Ye asked someone to report today, asking the two of us if we have time, saying that he just came back from out of town, brought back local specialties of wine and food, and asked the two of us to go to his house for a small gathering. Shangguan Jing said.

Early this morning, as soon as he got up, he heard that Ling Ye had sent someone to deliver a letter, and he opened it and read it to know that there was an address attached to the end of the letter, which was the address of Ling Ye's house.

Hearing this, An Ran was taken aback at first, he didn't expect Nan Lingye to take the initiative to invite them over, and in an instant, An Ran felt a little uneasy.

She knew that she shouldn't be so careful, but Nan Lingye was very deep in the city, and she really couldn't control herself from thinking like this.

"What's wrong with Ah Ran?" Seeing An Ran's frowning look, Shangguan Jing asked.

"No, I just thought about what kind of food and wine it was. An Ran smiled.

"I've already agreed to the appointment, so I'll go over with my brother tonight to have a look. Shangguan Jing said with a smile.

Looking at Shangguan Jing's appearance, An Ran couldn't refuse, so he agreed.

At this time, breakfast had already come up, and An Ran and Shangguan Jing ate together.

At sunset, Shangguan Jing came to pick up An Ran first, and then the two went to Nan Lingye's mansion together.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he explained his identity to the guards guarding the door, Xu is Nan Lingye had ordered it early in the morning, and the guards respectfully welcomed the two in.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the main hall, he saw Nan Lingye walking out, and said as he walked, "Two, I can look forward to you." ”

"Brother Ling, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for a long time. Shangguan Jing said with a smile.

An Ran didn't speak, just glanced at Nan Lingye, he hadn't seen him for a while, he hadn't changed at all.

"Don't say that, I'm glad you two can come over. Nan Lingye said, and asked them to hurry in and take their seats.

After the three of them sat down, Nan Lingye spoke: "I'm really embarrassed, I didn't know when I came back, it turned out that Brother Shangguan had invited so many times, but unfortunately I went to other places to collect the bills and didn't come back yet." Today I punish myself with three cups to make amends to both of you. ”

"Brother Ling is polite, you and I are both businessmen, these are understandable. Shangguan Jing waved his hand and asked Nan Lingye not to be so polite.

"Thank you, Brother Shangguan, for your understanding. Nan Lingye looked at An Ran and asked, "Is Brother Lin still angry?"

"Of course not. Ling Gongzi thought too much. But you said you want to punish yourself with three glasses, and I think it's also feasible. An Ran raised her eyes and looked at him and said.

As soon as the words came out, not only Nan Lingye was stunned, but even Shangguan Jing couldn't help but smile.

"No problem, no problem, as long as it's not the big bowl that Brother Lin said last time, three cups is not a problem. Nan Lingye said humorously.

An Ran couldn't help but chuckle when she heard his words.

Immediately afterwards, Nan Lingye drank three glasses in a row before he said, "Brother Lin is willing to forgive?"

An Ran shrugged, but did not say no, she did not speak, obviously acquiescing to Nan Lingye's words.
