"Liu Sichun, a commoner woman, has met the Crown Princess. May the Crown Princess live a thousand years, a thousand years, ten thousand years!"

Regardless of Su Jinpa's feelings towards Liu Sichun, after the initial shock, Liu Sichun realized that the arrival of the Crown Princess must be directly related to Qian Kangtai coming to arrest him.

The only explanation is that there has been another high-level power struggle within the court that I am unaware of, and now this struggle has extended to me, making me a point of contention between the two sides.

One party wants to destroy themselves.

The other party wants to protect themselves.

Liu Sichun lowered her head. Just like Su Jinpa seemed to have sensed something about her, Liu Sichun, with the keen intuition of a woman, could also feel the scrutiny and coldness in Su Jinpa's gaze.

Neither humble nor arrogant, Liu Sichun's bow and greeting were flawless.

"No need for gifts."

Su Jin said calmly, "Even before the prince left the capital, he mentioned many times that while merchants may be lowly, they are the foundation of the dynasty and the base of the country. Without merchant caravans traveling between places, the flow of goods throughout the land would cease. And without merchants opening their shops to do business, the people's produce would have no way to be converted into money."

“Common people cultivate crops in the fields. After setting aside enough for sustenance, they sell the surplus to merchants in exchange for silver. Merchants then purchase this grain and sell it to those areas experiencing shortages, earning a profit. They further procure raw materials from fishermen, woodcutters, silk farmers, weavers, and others to produce various goods for sale. This circulation of goods enriches and diversifies the necessary items for people's lives and entertainment.”

For years, both the imperial court and the entire country have owed a debt to merchants due to outdated prejudices. Merchants deserve to be treated with greater respect.

Having said that, Su Jinpa took another deep look at Liu Sichun and said: "The Crown Prince also emphasized that merchants like the Liu family, who are law-abiding, capable, and use their abilities for the right path, deserve strong support from the imperial court."

This statement is the greatest recognition of the Liu family itself.

And at this very moment, the presence of these Dali Temple officials at the border is a further political statement.

Unrestrained support.

This is to say to Yue Guan, but also to the officials behind Yue Guan.

His gaze fell upon Bian Guan Yue, and Su Jin Pa said faintly, "Today, you, the Minister of Dali Temple, personally came to Liu Mansion with such a grand display, acting as if you were going to raid the place. Quite a spectacle. I just happened to be visiting Liu Mansion, Minister Bian, why don't you tell me What heavenly transgression has this Liu family committed, worthy of your personal intervention as a high-ranking official"

Border guards could clearly hear Su Jinpa's meaning. He hadn't expected his own quick movements to still lead him into the line of fire.

At this point, even if we have to grit our teeth and bear it, we must see this through.

Taking a deep breath, Guan Yue spoke in a low voice to the crown princess: "Responding to your Highness's question, I received a report alleging that the Liu family colluded with officials within the imperial court, working together to embezzle national assets. This matter is of great importance, so I am personally handling it."

Su Jin listened impassively as Bian Guan Yue spun her tale. After she finished, she calmly said, "It seems you're indeed investigating a case. Well then, since you say it's an investigation, has a formal case been filed If so, has the initial investigation concluded If the case has been filed and the preliminary investigation is complete, then bring the case file to this palace for me to review."ll that Jue Ai could reveal his cooperation with the Crown Prince. He had seen the methods of a Land Immortal Realm expert before.But this King doesn't want the Prince dead for now, and we even have a...
