Chapter 160 Be a Useful Person

"The Phoenix Palace is my father's favorite palace." Quan Qingcheng sighed, "My mother told me more than once that my father liked to sit in the Phoenix Palace because it faces the Yanhua Palace on Yanhua Mountain. When he sits there and looks up at Yanhua Mountain, he feels that he can be closer to the emperor. It's a pity that the palace is destroyed now. My father must be very sad."

Wu Fei also sighed and said, "That's right. The late emperor spent a lot of time and effort to build this Phoenix Palace. He personally approved every layout and arranged the palace himself. He even picked the largest night-shining pearl hanging above. But just now, I saw with my own eyes that the pearl fell to the ground and broke. It was really heartbreaking."

Quan Qingcheng continued, "This incident was caused by the Guiyue envoy. He was a guest, but he didn't follow the rules and caused such a big disaster for the host. Guiyue must give me an explanation for this matter!"

Zhuier and Wu Fei both said: "The blame must be borne by Guiyue Country!"

Ye Chulian was confused. How could this be blamed on Guiyue Kingdom? What did the collapse of Fenghuang Yufei Palace have to do with Guiyue envoys? In this case, Guiyue envoys were also victims, right? He was sent to a friendly country, but ended up losing his life. Shouldn't Northern Qi give Guiyue an explanation? How did the emperor do this?

She didn't know about Ye Wenyan and Lord Emperor, so naturally she couldn't understand why this situation happened tonight. It was all because the Guiyue envoy had made the unfortunate request that Ye Wenyan go to Guiyue to marry.

But Ye Chulian didn't know, the other three knew it too well. Zhuier was threatening, "Let Guiyue pay! Such a big banquet hall can't just be destroyed, the money must be paid by Guiyue! Not only must it be paid, but it must be doubled. For example, the money for the injured people's medical treatment, medicine, and supplements must all be paid by Guiyue. Of course, the money will be added to the national treasury, but it can't really be used to treat those people. They deserve it, and they deserve to be smashed."

Wu Fei added: "Not only that, Guiyue also has to pay for the cost of scaring the people of Northern Qi."

Quan Qingcheng wrote down everything himself, and asked them, "Where can we add more? Think about it carefully and see if you have missed anything." After that, he said to Ye Chulian, "Fifth Miss, think about it too."

Ye Chulian was so scared that she fell to her knees. "Your Majesty, just call me by my name. My name is Ye Chulian, but I cannot deserve your address as Fifth Miss." She was really scared and sweating. The existence of the emperor had always been a dream to her. She didn't expect that the dream was now in front of her and he even spoke to her in such an unpretentious manner. It made her doubt whether she was still dreaming.

Quan Qingcheng didn't think too much. He just thought that at the palace banquet tonight, the Fifth Lady was speaking on behalf of his sister Wen Yan. Since she was speaking on behalf of sister Wen Yan, she must be one of them. So he didn't treat Ye Chulian as an outsider at all. When he heard her name, he immediately said, "Then I'll call you Chulian! Chulian, you should also think about it and see what else we can blackmail from the Guiyue people. Just think boldly. Don't be afraid of too much. We just need to be afraid of something that is not in place. Don't lose it."

Ye Chulian felt that this New Year's Eve was just a game and a dream. She felt like a bandit now. Was Guiyue still asked to compensate for the loss? Wasn't this extortion? Also, why did they ask Guiyue to pay for it? Who could tell her what was going on?

Her mind was in a mess, but no matter how confused it was, it did not stop her from following the three men to deceive the Guiyue Kingdom.

Ye Chulian thought for a while, then looked down at her clothes and said, "I have to compensate for the clothes too, right? These are the clothes I prepared for the palace banquet, they are precious! But now they are broken, it hurts to see them." As she spoke, she touched her ears, which made her feel even more distressed, "One of the earrings fell off, it was also very expensive." Quan Qingcheng continued to write furiously, "These are all key points, write them all down. Chulian, your analysis is very good, continue."

Ye Chulian was encouraged and instantly felt that he was a useful person, so he began to think hard and soon thought of a lot of ways to blackmail people. For example, "Guiyue is quite far from Lin'an City. If someone dies here, we can't send someone to send the body back. If we don't send it back, we will have to deal with the body. We have to buy a coffin and find a place to bury it, which all costs money. Let's ask Guiyue for burial fees! As for whether to give him a coffin, that's our business."

Quan Qingcheng praised her again: "Chu Lian, you are really smart!"

Wu Fei said angrily: "They did this during the Chinese New Year. They didn't let us have a good New Year's Eve. They deliberately made things difficult for us. Guiyue must compensate for this. It's impossible to ask them to compensate for New Year's Eve, so let's use gold and silver to make up for this mistake!"

Quan Qingcheng then wrote down again: New Year’s Eve loss compensation!

Zhuier pondered and said, "That Princess Guiyue is still here with us! But I think she has a pretty good relationship with my young lady. Should we take her along with us on this matter?"

Quan Qingcheng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Although I hate that princess, after all, she always glares at me. But she does have a good relationship with my sister, and she even helped scold their own envoys, so let's not take her along, it will make us look disloyal. I talk to Guiyue about state affairs and compensation, but with my sister, I have to talk about loyalty."

Ye Chulian was confused again. What the hell is "sister"? It sounded like they were talking about her fourth sister, but she remembered that the fourth sister was younger than the emperor, right? Why was he still calling her "sister" all the time? Who was he calling?

While Quan Qingcheng listed the details of the compensation, Ye Chulian was constantly confused. Until the end, she still didn't understand what the collapse of the Phoenix Yufei Palace had to do with the Guiyue Kingdom. And why did the Guiyue envoy die? How did the flying jade brick hit him on the head? Why was he so unlucky that he couldn't stand the impact?

Besides that, there were other things on her mind. She found a chance to ask Wu Fei in a low voice: "Excuse me, father-in-law, how are my family members? How are my aunt, brother, and two sisters? Also, when can I go home?"

Wu Fei exclaimed, "I forgot about your matter. It's getting late. How about I ask someone to send Miss Fifth back first? As for your family, Miss Fifth, don't worry. They are all fine. They should have returned by now."

Ye Chulian nodded repeatedly, but felt that it would be too troublesome to ask the palace maid to send her off, so she said, "No need for the palace maid to send me off. I will wait for Zhuier for a while and then go back with her." After that, she asked Zhuier, "When are you leaving?"

Zhuier said, "I may have to wait to go back with my young lady. Fifth Miss, you can either ask the palace servants to take you back first, or you can stay in the palace for a while. I estimate that Fourth Miss will definitely be able to go home before dawn!"

At this point, she thought of Ye Chulian, who had helped her young lady lie all night, so she quickly bowed to Ye Chulian and said, "Thank you, Miss Fifth, for helping my young lady tonight. When we return home, I hope Miss Fifth will continue to help us with the old lady. Don't let anything slip, otherwise the old lady..."

Ye Chulian said quickly, "I understand. I understand everything. Don't worry, Miss Zhuier, I won't say anything wrong, and I will definitely tell you that Fourth Sister has been staying in the mansion all these days and has not gone anywhere. Even if Grandmother beats me to death, I will not change my words."

Wu Fei said, "Yes, I heard that Miss Wu was beaten today. The old lady beat Miss Wu when she was waiting at the palace gate. Is Miss Wu's injury okay? Do you want to send a doctor to take a look?"

When Quan Qingcheng heard this, he wanted to call for the imperial physician. Ye Chulian was flattered and quickly stopped him. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm fine. Please don't call for the imperial physician. Grandmother is old and doesn't have much strength in her hands. It's okay to pinch her a few times. Besides, it wasn't a big deal later. She kept pinching as if she was pinching herself. She just cried out in pain, but I didn't feel anything at all. So there's really no need to call for the imperial physician. Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Eunuch Wu."

Quan Qingcheng nodded, "After this incident, we can be considered to have shared hardships. Chu Lian, you are loyal and righteous, and I admire you. Don't worry, if there is a banquet or a small banquet in the harem, I will include you in it."

Ye Chulian was so moved that she almost cried. She really didn't expect that this palace banquet would turn out to be a blessing in disguise. The emperor who had been delusional before was now talking to her so intimately and even calling her by her maiden name. If it were in the past, she would have been very moved, right?

Unfortunately, the present is the present, and the past is only the past.

She took two steps back and leaned towards Quan Qingcheng, "Thank you for your help tonight, Your Majesty. It's getting late, so I won't stay in the palace any longer. Please ask Your Majesty to assign a palace maid to take me there!"

"Okay." Quan Qingcheng agreed readily and told Wu Fei, "Send a capable person to escort Miss Fifth back to the mansion, and ask two more imperial guards to follow. When we get to the general's mansion, if Madam Ye has any difficulties, tell her that I have kept her here to talk."

Wu Fei took orders and led Ye Chulian out of the Palace of Immortals. He did not leave until he handed her over to the person who was sending her out of the palace. Ye Chulian bit her lips for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to speak, asking: "Eunuch Wu, when the Phoenix Palace collapsed just now, did you pay attention to the Fourth Prince? Was he injured? Has he left the palace now?"

Wu Fei was stunned, then shook his head, "I really didn't notice this, but I think the Fourth Prince should be fine, right? Otherwise, someone in the palace would have reported it long ago. Miss Fifth, are you worried about the Fourth Prince? You and the Fourth Prince..."
