Chapter 41 Ahhh Master, the prince is trying to seduce you again!

Chapter 41 Ahhh Master, the prince is trying to seduce you again!

The people of Xiaomei Village kowtowed to Chu Li and said in unison: "We, the common people, thank you for upholding justice!"

Chu Li felt upset. These people did not blame her for her previous inaction. She nodded and apologized to the people, "Sorry, I'm late!"

Zhang Zhilong smiled slightly. It was the first time he saw the prince apologize to the people.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had been hiding his abilities all these years, he would truly be a crown prince that people would look forward to seeing.

After all, he had been accused of so much infamy and never explained himself, but he won the hearts of the people with just one move.

He looked at Chu Li with a respectful expression, "Your Highness, I will take my leave now."

Chu Li clasped his hands and bowed, "Thank you, Lord Zhang."

Zhang Zhilong, who was dressed in a simple blue shirt, saw that Chu Li treated him with great respect, so he returned the greeting and then took the Mei family, County Magistrate Wu, Captain Liu and others away.

Chu Li left in a carriage and headed to the remaining farms.

She took a physical look at the directions of the surrounding mountains, rivers, and the conditions of the various villages. She also went to the barren mountain where Mei Hao was buried. She touched the soil on the mountain, went into the mountain to take a look, and she had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

Chu Li was busy until sunset and went to the Sixth Prince's mansion.

She asked straight to the point, "How much silver do you have in your house?"

The Sixth Prince looked embarrassed, "Not much. I have never been so poor in these years."

Chu Li frowned, "How many are there?"

"Five hundred thousand taels of silver!" The Sixth Prince looked disdainful.

Chu Li's lips twitched. People have different destinies. She doesn't even have 5,000 taels of silver now, and this guy thinks 500,000 is not enough!

She looked at the ATM in front of her that was smiling frivolously, "Old Six, you owe me your life, you have to show some appreciation!"

The Sixth Prince grinned, "Brother Li, as long as you don't want my life, money is nothing but yours!"

After saying that, he got up and went to the warehouse. Not long after, there were 500,000 taels of silver notes in front of Chu Li.

"Brother Li, don't complain about the small amount. Take it first. I'm building my business empire. Wait for me to give you dividends!"

Tsk tsk tsk, he gave her 500,000 taels of silver without blinking an eye. Ye Hanting, the loan shark, is really no match for Lao Liu.

"Okay, then I'll lend it to you first, and I'll pay you back when I have money!"

The Sixth Prince waved his hand indifferently, "There are still some gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings in the mansion, which are enough for your daily use."

Chu Li drank the tea handed to him by Lao Liu and said, "Where are you going to start your business empire?"

Lao Liu came over with a mysterious look on his face, "I'll start with the simplest things first, things like boar bristle toothbrushes, mint tooth powder, rouge powder, canned goods, etc. I'll do other things when I'm strong enough!"

"Actually, I still want to engage in overseas trade. That's where the most money is made. Otherwise, how about reselling contraband salt?"

Chu Li glanced at him and said, "For overseas trade, there is still a maritime ban. You should wait a little longer. As for smuggling salt, you will lose your head!"

"Yes, yes, I can't wait for Brother Li to become the emperor. Then when I start my business, it will be like a little cow dancing, with awesome people on the left and awesome people on the right!"

Chu Li rolled his eyes at him and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Don't say such things again, or we'll both lose our heads."

The Sixth Prince touched his head and laughed, "That means the heifer was eaten by us. It was so awesome..."

Chu Li: “…” You’re having a hard time with the little cow, right?

"Okay, I'll take the banknote." She waved to the Sixth Prince and walked out.

"Brother Li, what do you want so much money for?"

Chu Li smiled mysteriously, "Keep it a secret for now!"

The Sixth Prince looked at Chu Li's back and exclaimed, "My brother Li is really like a little cow traveling around the world, and he is awesome wherever he goes!"

......

Chu Li went out to take care of some things and returned to the East Palace in the middle of the night.

The next morning, Chu Li was extremely tired and had no intention of listening to Ye Hanting's class.

When she was daydreaming with her chin in her hand, Ye Hanting hit the back of her hand with the ruler.

Chu Li withdrew his hand, looking absent-minded.

"What's wrong?" Ye Hanting stared at her tired eyes.

Chu Li smiled slyly, "Sir, what you learn from books is not enough. You must practice it yourself to know it. How about we go out for a walk?"

Ye Hanting saw that she was smiling like a little fox, closed the book, raised his eyebrows and said, "Want to go play?"

Chu Li smiled awkwardly, "How can that be possible? We have something important to do. How about we go to the mountains and fields to collect folk songs and study at the same time in the next few days?"

Ye Hanting took back the ruler in his hand and nodded, "Okay."

He actually didn't like teaching the prince in a rigid manner, so Chu Li's words were very much to his liking.

Chu Li stood up immediately, his steps leaping with joy.

She took two steps forward and saw Ye Hanting was as steady as an old dog, so she stretched out her hand to make way for him, "Sir, please!"

Ye Hanting then stood up and left with her in the carriage.

When Concubine Rong's spies in the palace saw this scene, they immediately came to Concubine Rong's palace to report the news.

"My lady, I saw the Master and the Crown Prince go out together!"

Concubine Rong raised her tired eyes. She had been having bad luck recently. First, the third prince was imprisoned in the clan house, and then the fourth prince broke his leg.

Yesterday she received news from the Fourth Prince's spy that Chu Li had actually arrested Mei Renpin's entire family.

This is really strange. Isn’t Zhang Zhilong, that stubborn guy, unwilling to take sides?

And what about the powerful official Ye Hanting? She inexplicably felt that Ye Hanting was starting to support Chu Li!

Aunt Xie behind her rubbed her temples. She looked at the palace maid who came to report the news and said, "Go ahead. Just keep an eye on her."

"Yes, madam!"

After the maid left, Madam Xie gritted her teeth and said, "Chu Li taught Butler Liu a lesson in the Royal Courtyard. In my opinion, the Crown Prince was just pretending before, and now his fox tail is finally exposed!"

Concubine Rong sneered, "He has been manipulated for many years, so it is normal for him to resist. This time, what she did in Xiaomei Village must be made a big deal as soon as possible, so that everyone knows that she beat up civilians!"

"Yes!"

......

Chu Li and Ye Hanting were sitting in the same carriage. Ye Hanting sat upright with a folding fan in his hand. Chu Li's head began to feel dizzy due to the shaking of the carriage.

With Ye Hanting around, and Chi Yan and Lan Yi following her, at least if she encounters an assassin, she doesn't have to worry about Master Ye's safety, and she can escape safely.

The palace maids and guards watched her and Ye Hanting come out together. Her safety was in jeopardy, and Ye Hanting couldn't run away, so she felt relatively relieved.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep.

Ye Hanting looked at her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings and her lips slightly opened like petals, and listened to her even breathing. He frowned. This woman fell asleep like this!

He noticed that there was a slight blue tinge around Chu Li's eyes, as if he had not slept well last night.

The carriage suddenly jolted, Chu Li's head fell, and Ye Hanting felt as if there was suddenly a heavy object on his shoulders.

The faint floral scent from Chu Li lingered at his nose.

He glanced sideways and saw Chu Li sleeping on his shoulder.

Chi Yan, who was also sitting in the carriage, had dilated pupils and his brows twitching. Ahhhh, master, the prince is trying to seduce you again, why don't you get out of the way!

"Master, look at him!"

Ye Hanting looked at Chi Yan helplessly, "Why don't you come sit over here and lean on you."

Chi Yan pointed his index finger at himself, "Me? I'm not familiar with the prince!"

Ye Hanting gently pushed Chu Li away and straightened her up, then looked at Chi Yan, "You don't seem to like her?"
