Fang Zichen said smugly, "Truly, this is the son I've painstakingly raised. With just a few words, he sent those petty schemers scattering. He's definitely got a bit of my flair."

Liu Xiaowen shot Fang Zichen a sideways glance. Raising a son? Fang Zichen treated it like a game. He spent less serious time teaching the boy than playing around with him. It was only recently that he'd started going over practice problems with the boy, which took up a little extra time—and he'd been busier with other things too. Otherwise, those two would be out and about together, carrying on like a pair of brothers.

Ruan Jiqing hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, the princess has never given this servant any favor, nor is she that kind of person." He paused for a moment, then continued, "This servant was merely thinking of the time when Your Majesty was still a prince. Back then, Prince Jin was still in the imperial prison, and Your Majesty worked day and night to clear His Highness's name. One time, you caught a chill and came down with a fever that very night. This servant was being punished by the Empress Dowager, but the princess took pity on me and pleaded for mercy on my behalf before Her Majesty, and even gave me medicine. If it hadn't been for the princess, how would this servant have lived to serve Your Majesty again?"

Qi Junmu naturally noticed that Shen Nian's expression had changed. Unwilling to let the man misunderstand that he had sent someone to keep an eye on him, he was about to explain himself when Shen Nian spread his hands in a shrug, his face alight with curiosity: "How did Your Majesty know that Cheng Jin wrote to this humble subject mentioning Prince Rui?"

Qi Junmu fixed his gaze on him. He saw nothing but curiosity in Shen Nian's expression—no suspicion—and his eyes were filled with trust.

At first, quite a few people thought the old woman had a point, because it had always been that way—women and gers should stay at home. So they hadn't chimed in, just watched the drama. But now that they thought about it carefully—earning clean silver openly, doing honest work—why exactly wasn't that allowed?

What wasn't acceptable?

These women and gers were from a neighboring village, and some folks recognized them. They knew their family situations. Their husbands were gone.

Qi Junmu spoke these words with complete sincerity, yet also with a peculiar sense of loss. He had never expected that the first person to say this to him would be Shen Nian—or perhaps he had never even considered that anyone would ever say such a thing to him at all.

The Empress Dowager was his own birth mother, the most honored woman in all of Da Qi. The palace attendants dared not gossip about her; when he and the Empress Dowager clashed, even Ruan Jiqing, who served at his side, would not speak a single word against her. He could only stand silently to one side, doing his best not to add to the Emperor's agitation.

Zhao Ger followed this plan. He hired some from Anping Village and some from the neighboring village. These young women and gers who came to work were in much the same situation as those from Luoshan Village who worked at the cement factory.

Their husbands were gone, they had many children at home, their in-laws were old, and they had little farmland. These young women and gers looked to be in their twenties, but they'd been married for many years. The gers had one or two children each, but the women had three or four. They were desperately poor—though in their twenties, their hands were covered in calluses, their faces full of wrinkles.

These were all words from his heart. Laying bare one's innermost thoughts is the hardest thing for anyone—especially for a minister baring his soul to the Emperor. Done poorly, it could enrage the sovereign and earn sharp reproach and resentment.

The reason Lin Xiao dared to speak was, of course, because he understood the Emperor.

He also knew that throughout all of Da Qi, he alone could say such things. If he did not speak, a thorn would be planted in the Emperor's heart—so that whenever the Emperor saw him or Lin En, he would recall the quarrel with the Empress Dowager and feel deeply ill at ease.
