After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 270 Your Majesty believes in her, so I believe in her

Ling Xiao waited until she was far away before saying, "The Crown Princess has quite a lot of power."

The emperor glanced at him and said, "She has more people under her command than the prince, and they are all elites."

"I think you have heard that she helped to catch many termites, all thanks to the secret guards she had."

"She has more power than you think. If Xiao'er wasn't lucky, he might not be able to marry her."

Huangfu Nan secretly smacked his lips, "Your Majesty, do you know what forces she has?"

The emperor smiled and said, "She should know 80% to 90% of it. She never avoids Xiao'er when she does things, and Xiao'er will also mention it to me."

Ling Xiao glanced at him and asked, "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that she has other intentions?"

The emperor shook his head. "That's because you don't have much contact with her, otherwise you wouldn't ask such a question."

"She was actually the one who discovered the plight of your northern border, so she arranged for people to send grain seeds to the northern border."

"Now we have prepared food, winter clothes, quilts and other things, all donated for free. What kind of person would I be if I still doubted her?"

Ling Xiao fell silent.

Huangfu Nan nodded. He had heard a lot about the Crown Princess' deeds during the past few days in Kyoto.

If she were in a suspicious royal family, they would definitely try every means to snatch everything from her.

It is also because His Majesty knows how to use people well, otherwise, it is hard to say what the result will be.

The emperor looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Your affairs in the northern border are mainly about the deputy general. If you need anything else, please send a letter or someone to tell me. Although the northern border is far away, the people are also the people of Anguo. I will not ignore them."

Ling Xiao stood up and saluted, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"The North has always been peaceful, except for the recent disasters. After this year, things should be much better next year."

The emperor thought for a moment and said, "I will give you 100,000 taels of silver from the national treasury. You can arrange for someone to buy some more grain from... from the Crown Princess and bring it back."

"Buy it from the Crown Princess?" Ling Xiao thought about it for a moment and then understood.

Marquis Leshan is the Crown Princess's elder brother, so it should be okay to buy from her, and the price may be more favorable.

The emperor nodded and said, "You can just go find the Crown Princess directly."

Ling Xiao naturally had no choice but to say, "Yes, I understand."

The emperor sighed and said, "Given your personality, I don't think you have much money left. I will give you another 50,000 taels from my private treasury."

Ling Xiao refused this time, "Your Majesty, this is not necessary. Although I don't have much money, it is enough for the palace."

Huangfu Nan glanced at him and smiled at the emperor, "Your Majesty, you have opened your private vault to Brother Xiao, can I also use some of it?"

The emperor rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Isn't your money enough?"

"Hey, that's not the way to put it. That was earned through hard work, how can it be called oil and water?" Huangfu Nan was indeed living a good life on the Arctic border. He could trade with people from foreign countries all over the place, so he could make a lot of money every year.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you should also allocate 50,000 taels to make up the total of 100,000 taels."

Huangfu Nan's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, if you don't want to give it to me, why do you want to get it from me?"

"Ah Xiao, do you want it?"

Ling Xiao glanced at Huangfu Nan and nodded, "Of course I want it. After all, I don't have much money in my palace."

"No, you didn't want what His Majesty gave you just now, so why do you want it from me?" Huangfu Nan looked at him with dissatisfaction.

Ling Xiao smiled lightly and said nothing.

The emperor looked outside and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. It's too late today, so go back first. If you want to talk about anything, come back to the palace the day after tomorrow."

Ling Xiao and Huangfu Nan stood up and said goodbye.

After leaving the palace, Ling Xiao looked at Huangfu Nan and asked, "When did you come to Kyoto?"

"A few days earlier than you did. I thought you didn't ask anymore." Huangfu Nan stopped and looked at him, "Are you really coming to Kyoto for food?"

"What else?" Ling Xiao also looked at him.

"Actually, I have some selfish reasons. I haven't been here for a long time. I want to come back and take a look. And then there's Xiaoyao's wedding."

Huangfu Nan continued walking forward. "I was anxious about the foreign affairs and didn't send the memorial, so it's understandable. Why didn't you send the memorial first?"

Ling Xiao paused and looked at him, "I sent someone to deliver the memorial when I set out."

Huangfu Nan turned around and looked at him, "I can be sure that His Majesty has not received your memorial."

"It seems that the people accompanying you have ulterior motives."

"Your deputy general must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise when you return, I'm afraid the entire northern border will be in turmoil."

Ling Xiao walked past him and said, "With the Crown Princess's people here, it shouldn't change. But I can't stay in Kyoto for long."

"You believe her." Huangfu Nan chased after him with a smile.

"If Your Majesty believes in her, I will believe in her too. After all, Anguo belongs to Your Majesty." Ling Xiao said lightly.

Huangfu Nan smiled and nodded after hearing this. That's right. His Majesty allowed her to hold so many forces in her hands, which means he trusts her.

What's more, she is most likely the saint predicted by the Yun Kingdom's Imperial Master.

"What are you doing in Kyoto?" Ling Xiao asked before entering the Zhenbei Palace.

Huangfu Nan pushed him and said, "Let's talk inside."

"You should have received the news. A group of foreigners came to my place. Although we have been trading with them, they seldom come here."

"Of course, it's not that we don't welcome them. If they behave themselves, there won't be any problem."

“But some time ago, they poisoned Jiucheng’s county magistrate with Zuixin.”

"Zui Xin, you also know that it is from the previous dynasty, so I suspected that they might have contacted the remnants of the royal family of the previous dynasty, so I rushed back to Kyoto."

Ling Xiao walked into the study and signaled the guards to stand guard at the door. "Then shouldn't you be guarding the Arctic border? Why did you come to Kyoto alone?"

Huangfu Nan sat down and said, "I have to give them a chance to strike again. Otherwise, if they roam around the Arctic border, I will have to be on guard every day."

"It takes a thousand days to thieve, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days, so I'll make room for them so they can start."

Ling Xiao sat down next to him, "Are you sure those people are foreigners?"

Huangfu Nan nodded, "It's not so easy to impersonate foreigners. Their faces are three-dimensional and their eyes are different colors. It's impossible to pretend."

"I have already reported this matter to your majesty, and we also discussed this matter during the court session."

"But since there is no solid evidence, we cannot take action against those foreigners for the time being. Now we have to see when they will take action first and leave evidence."

"Brother Xiao, it's strange. The natural disaster in Anguo two years ago was the best time. Why did they choose to start the action when Anguo had already recovered?"

Ling Xiao sneered, "Why else? Of course I don't want to take over a ruined country. Now that Anguo has just recovered, it's the best time."

"However, I remember that only the lineage of King Qin was left with some descendants from the previous dynasty, and they were demoted to Xiandong by the late emperor."

"Xiandong is more than a thousand miles away from your Arctic border. How did they get in touch?"

"And the descendants of the King of Qin no longer have any titles, so what can they use to cooperate with them?"

Huangfu Nan shook his head. "Your Majesty has arranged for people to investigate these, and my people are also investigating. They won't be able to find anything for a while."
