ps: Thanks to book friend "Dangyi 1234" for his monthly vote.

Wu Zheng felt a hint of prank in his heart at this time, "Madam is worried that I will come to you at the main hall of the Duke's Mansion?"

When Xia Shuji heard this, she felt like she was stung by a scorpion and took a few steps back.

After retreating, I looked up and found that the emperor was still holding his forehead and looking at her with a smile. Then I realized that the emperor was teasing and teasing.

Xia Shuji didn't feel a little angry in her heart, and she scolded her with a serious and stern voice: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, please respect yourself!"

In fact, as soon as he said that, Wu Zheng regretted it. This is indeed not what an emperor should say.

So Wu Zheng sat upright and reached out to inspire: "It's indeed my fault. Please don't blame Mrs. Zhenyi... Please sit down and talk."

Xia Shuji gave Wu Zheng a angrily look, and after rolling her eyes, she felt that she was not very polite, so she had to sit on the left in disappointment.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, why are you leaving me alone?"

"Can I... trust my wife?"

"This... If your Majesty is useful, I will never shirk responsibility!"

Wu Zheng smiled slightly, "This words remind me of the scene when your sisters and Hai Yue together... caused trouble for me."

Xia Shuji's face turned slightly red, and she lowered her head and said, "I have been punished for this... Is Your Majesty still unwilling to forgive me?"

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "My wife misunderstood...I mean, men are as good as men...I really need my wife to do me a favor."

"Please give me instructions!"

Wu Zheng looked at Xia Shuji, pondered for a while, and said, "I want to send my wife to Hangzhou Prefecture."

Xia Shuji looked up in surprise, "...this is the matter?"

"Yes!" Wu Zheng nodded, "Mrs. I also have to pass on some words to others on my behalf."

"Dare you ask...who?"

"Mo's."

"Uh..." Xia Shuji suppressed her surprise and looked at Wu Zheng.

The former concubine of King Wu, Mo, was implicated in the case of Mo Zhinian's rebellion. Although the emperor was kind and did not pursue Mo, he was also neglected and led his own practice. This is how it was passed on outside.

Xia Shuji believed this statement. Mo was pregnant at that time, but after all, his grandfather and five uncles all died because of this. As a woman, Xia Shuji could understand the pain in Mo's heart at that time.

But now, the emperor actually wanted to send her a message to Mo, which surprised Xia Shuji. Could it be that Mo had given birth and the emperor wanted to welcome Mo and his children to respond to Tianfu?

This idea made Xia Shuji hesitate. There was an empress and an imperial concubine in the palace. Her sister had just entered the palace as a concubine. Although she was the leader of the four concubines, if Mo brought her children into the palace, how could her sister beat Mo who once had the resume of the chief chief of Changlin Wei?

"Madam, don't want to go there for me?" Wu Zheng asked calmly.

Although he was unwilling to do so, Xia Shuji knew that he had no choice. The emperor came to the mansion today, obviously for this matter.

"I am willing to serve Your Majesty...but I don't know what Your Majesty wants me to convey?"

"Tell the Mo family that the land price of Songjiang Prefecture must be firmly controlled to be around 300 taels per acre. It cannot be too low or too high!" Wu Zheng said slowly with an extremely serious expression.

As soon as these words were said, Xia Shuji was so shocked that she couldn't speak. The whole city was rumoring that the court wanted to rescue the market and controlled the land price of Songjiang Prefecture to be around 500 taels. But at this time, the emperor was secretly making arrangements to press the land price to around 300 taels... Xia Shuji suddenly felt fear in her heart. She stared at Wu Zheng in a daze. She knew that perhaps from today on, she would be dragged into a struggle for interests that did not know the good and bad fortune.

But she knew even more that after the emperor said this, she could no longer refuse, and perhaps, from the very beginning, she could not refuse.

"Are you afraid?" Wu Zheng's calm words sounded.

Xia Shuji looked up suddenly, forced a sigh of relief, and looked at Wu Zheng, "Dare you asking Your Majesty... Is Your Majesty going to oppose the court?"

This is very presumptuous and is enough to be guilty!

Wu Zheng smiled, "Madam is wrong. Why do I have to go against the court... The court is my court. Doesn't my wife understand?"

Xia Shuji urgently argued: "But Your Majesty has agreed to rescue the market... Why do you need to ask me to convey to Mo again to suppress the land price of Songjiang Mansion... This will waste countless manpower and financial resources in the court, and will also cause His Majesty to lose money...!"

"Mrs. I'm afraid what I want to say is... internal friction?"

Xia Shuji gritted her teeth and said, "...Yes!"

Wu Zheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Does Madam want to establish the new city?"

Xia Shuji thought for a while and said, "Yes."

"Because the Xia family is originally from Huating?"

"this……."

"How much land does the Xia family have in the new city?"

"This..." Xia Shuji hesitated, "I really don't know how much land the Xia family has in the new city... But I and my second brother will never go against the interests of the court because of the interests of the Xia family!"

“Um….”

"Does Your Majesty not believe what I say?"

"No, I believe it!" Wu Zheng smiled and said, "If I don't believe in the wife, how could I entrust such an important matter to my wife?"

Wu Zheng sighed lightly, "Madam should understand that I face too much opposition to the capital... But as far as Brother Zhongnan understands, many important officials in the court do not understand...or pretend not to understand, they are opposing me, hindering me, and even secretly dragging me back!"

Speaking of this, Wu Zheng stared into Xia Shuji's eyes, "I know, the Xia family is... don't rush to deny it. If I hadn't sent the Qian brothers to stop your second brother, Cungu would have entered the palace with those people."

When Xia Shuji heard this, she was choking for it. She knew that the emperor was saying it was true, "But the second brother was not for his own selfish interests... He was really planning for His Majesty and the court!"

"Of course I know!" Wu Zheng said coldly, "If I hadn't known, Lin Wei should have arrested all participants at this time, instead of being calm and having peace... You must understand that the harm caused by doing bad things with good intentions is far more than doing bad things with bad intentions... because this knife was stabbed from my back!"

Xia Shuji's back felt chill, and she understood what the emperor meant.

"Then... why did Your Majesty entrust such an important matter to me?" Xia Shuji asked carefully.

"Because there are no ones around me at this time!" Wu Zheng sighed lightly, "It's not that there is no one I can trust, but that every move I can use is in the sight of those people... Madam should understand that this matter is top secret!"

Xia Shuji's thoughts echoed. After a while, he asked, "...will this matter involve my second brother?"

Wu Zheng laughed, "I am a friend of my brothers, Huiji is my concubine again, and the wife has made great contributions this time... How could I implicate this matter on Cungu?"

"really?"
