The plum blossoms in the Royal Garden are in full bloom, and the red plums and white snow are really beautiful.

Princess Changle invited Ye Shengge to sit in Nuange Pavilion in the name of appreciating plum blossoms.There is a charcoal fire in the pavilion, which is warm and cozy, and seems to be two different worlds from the severe cold outside.

The princess only wore a thin lotus-colored shirt, covered with a gauze shawl, and her long hair was rolled up loosely. Compared with her usual luxurious and dignified appearance, the princess looked a little more lazy and casual.

She poured two glasses of wine with her own hands, pushed one of them in front of Ye Shengge, picked up the other glass herself, and took a sip without trying to persuade her to drink: "You cooperate with me to bring down Feng Wuyi. What do you want after that?"

Ye Shengge picked up the wine glass but did not drink it immediately. After a moment of silence, he said, "I just want to live in peace."

When the princess heard this, she laughed, and her laughter was clear and echoed in the Nuan Pavilion.

She had laughed enough, put down her wine glass, and looked at Ye Shengge with a hint of playfulness in her eyes: "You don't tell the truth. But it doesn't matter. I like your caution."

She didn't ask any more questions, just poured him another glass of wine.

When Ye Shengge came out of Nuange, it was almost dusk.

As he walked back to Shangshan Prison, his heart was not at ease.The princess's question seemed casual, but it made him realize that the road after overthrowing Feng Wuyi might be more difficult than overthrowing him himself.

The next day, Li Fei also made some moves.

She went to the Queen's Palace early in the morning, stood aside and whispered for a long time.

What he said was nothing more than a reference to the fact that Ye Shengge, as the head of the Shangshan Supervisory Committee, frequently interacted with merchants outside the palace, "for fear of leaking the palace ban."

After hearing this, the queen was silent for a moment and ordered someone to call Ye Shengge for questioning.

When Ye Shengge arrived at Fengyi Hall, Concubine Li was sitting under the Queen, with a dignified expression but a hint of coldness in her eyes.

The Queen got straight to the point and told Concubine Li's doubts.

After listening to this, Ye Shengge's expression remained unchanged and he replied calmly: "Back to the Queen, the Master of Food and Drinks requires a wide variety of ingredients every day. It is difficult to meet the taste needs of each palace master just by relying on the fixed supply channels in the palace."

"The purpose of the slaves' contacts with merchants outside the palace is to expand purchasing channels, compare prices from multiple parties, and choose the best."

“Every purchase is documented and every transaction is documented.”

"I am willing to submit all correspondence to the Queen for her inspection. If there is anything inappropriate, I am willing to be punished."

The queen ordered someone to fetch Shang Shanjian's purchasing records, flipped through a few pages, and checked several price comparison documents submitted by Ye Shengge, her expression gradually softened.

She closed the book, looked at Concubine Li, and said in a calm tone with a hint of displeasure: "Ye Shangshan's purchasing records are clear and there are no violations."

"Concubine Li, it's a good thing that you care about palace affairs, but if you are making excuses, it's better to say less in the future."

Concubine Li's face turned pale and she quickly stood up to apologize, not daring to say any more.

When Ye Shengge exited Fengyi Hall, his back was straight and his eyes were not squinting.

He did not look back at Li Fei's expression, but he knew that he had won this round again.

However, not all fronts are so smooth.When Su Lingshuang visited the internal prison at night, she accidentally triggered the secret sentry posted by Wei Wuji.

Dongchang's secret whistle was well-trained. Although she escaped with her superb body skills, she still received a cut on her left arm, and her night clothes were soaked with blood.

When Ye Shengge was treating her wounds at her residence, the two of them were very close to each other, separated by a lone lamp.
