As long as I stay in the Empress' Palace, I am invincible!

The night was long, and Ye Chen successfully climbed the mountain under the cover of night, but was soon driven down the mountain by Luo Hongyan.

He vaguely remembered that the mountain was so big!

"Empress, His Majesty has said that you will be asked to return to Fengming Palace as soon as you wake up."

Ye Chen got up and saluted Nangong Ning.

Ye Chen laughed, it seemed that Luo Hongyan was shy and needed some time to buffer.

A few days passed, and Situ Ren, who left the palace, had no appetite.

"Second brother, I heard that you went to the palace and became depressed when you came back. What happened?"

Situ Yan came to Situ Ren's side.

The two of them are now in Tianyan Imperial City, but they both have their own houses and do not live in the same place.

Situ Ren smiled bitterly and said, "I have seen Luo Hongyan, and she is indeed as beautiful as the legend says. She is much more beautiful than the one in the painting. Even the goddess in heaven may not be as beautiful as her."

"But I have no hope of becoming the emperor's concubine."

"Even if I become the emperor's concubine, it is almost impossible to replace Ye Chen as the emperor and empress!"

Situ Yan patted Situ Ren on the shoulder: "Second brother, I said before that Ye Chen is not easy to mess with, but you don't believe it."

Situ Ren's eyes flashed coldly: "Brother, so I am thinking that in order to become the emperor's concubine and the empress, Ye Chen must be dealt with. Should we cooperate with Prince Mu and others?"

Situ Yan's face changed.

"You are crazy!"

"Can we cooperate with Prince Mu on something like murdering the emperor and empress? By then, he will have a huge handle on us!"

Situ Yan shouted.

Situ Ren said in a deep voice: "Brother, think about it, if we cooperate like this, who is more afraid of the news being exposed? We have the handle in Prince Mu's hands, and Prince Mu also has the handle in our hands?"

"In the palace, the eunuchs Wang and Cai under the Queen Mother are missing, and it is very likely that they are all dead. Pei Xiang is dead outside the palace, and the struggle in secret is already very fierce!"

Situ Yan frowned, he thought of his illness.

He still has to go to Ye Chen once a month.

What if Ye Chen dies and no one can solve his problems?

"Second brother, this matter is very important, it is not something you and I can decide, report it to father and let father decide."

"Don't be depressed all day, participate in various activities to show yourself, you have a high hope of becoming an empress in the future!"

Situ Yan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, brother!"

Situ Ren nodded, and his spirits were lifted a lot.

It's good to have an idea and a plan.

After Ye Chen's death, Luo Hongyan will definitely find the empress!

With internal and external troubles, Luo Hongyan asked someone from their Situ family to become the empress and empress, which could stabilize the situation.

Situ Yan said: "Second brother, I came here not only to visit you, but also to discuss with you. We can't act rashly with Prince Mu, but we can contact the six major papermaking families."

"The Lin family is under a lot of pressure now!"

The paper sold by Royal Paper is now super cheap, and the six major papermaking families are priced twenty times higher. Countless people scold it every day!

Situ Ren said: "Brother, how can we help?"

Situ Yan smiled faintly: "The price of royal paper is so low, can the cost really be so low?"

"This is a lie!"

"We can provide a lot of funds to let the six major papermaking families order a lot of white paper at the price of the third batch. If the royal family does not sell this paper, it means that the cost price of the royal family is not low!"

Situ Ren's eyes lit up: "In this way, the six major papermaking families will have to remember our favor!"

Situ Yan nodded slightly: "The six major papermaking families have a long history, especially the Lin family, their strength is not weak! Even if we lose a little, it is a good thing to win over such a family."

"Speaking of which, we have to thank the emperor and empress. It was not easy to win over the Lin family in the past!"

The six major papermaking families are doing a monopoly business, and they don't usually ask for help!

"Yeah!"

Situ Ren nodded, "Brother, I support this!"

Situ Yan is the prince, and Situ Ren is the second son of the Situ family. If both of them agree, the plan can be carried out!

A large amount of funds from the Situ family can be used.

Soon Situ Yan and his team secretly contacted people from the six major papermaking families. The Situ family provided 60 million taels of silver, and people from the six major papermaking families came forward to buy a large amount of white paper!

The Situ family and the six major papermaking families will each bear half of the profit and loss!

"Are you sure you want to purchase another 60 million taels of silver worth of white paper?"

Ye Chen said in a light voice.

Lin Kaiji and his team found Luo Hongyan. Ye Chen was responsible for this matter, and Luo Hongyan still asked Ye Chen to talk to them.

"Empress, you heard it right!"

Lin Kaiji said in a deep voice.

Ye Chen was silent for a while before saying: "Master Lin, I advise you to be cautious about this matter! You have already purchased a lot. If you buy a lot of paper again, who will you sell it to?"

"Even if the royal family stops selling, so much paper may not be consumed in the Tianyan Dynasty in ten years!"

Lin Kaiji and others were sure in their hearts!

Ye Chen's words, in their view, showed that he had no confidence!

The cost of paper is likely to be much higher than the current selling price!

"Empress, you don't have to worry about this!"

"We have our own way."

Lin Kaiji said with a smile.

Ye Chen frowned slightly: "Master Lin, your majesty is the king, you are the people, the royal family makes this money again, and it will not sound good if it spreads that it forces you into a desperate situation, so forget about this deal!"

The head of the Tao family chuckled and said, "Empress, even if we lose money, it's over the top to say that we are being pushed to the edge! We, the six major papermaking families, have accumulated a lot of experience over a long period of time, and we still have some foundation!"

"If your majesty has such concerns, we can indicate in the contract that we strongly request the purchase!"

Lin Kaiji and the other five heads of the family nodded.

The money was paid by the Situ family, and the risk was borne by the Situ family. They are not afraid!

Besides, the royal family should not be able to bear Ye Chen's current state!

Ye Chen was drinking tea, and he was silent for a longer time.

Lin Kaiji and the others were not idle. They prepared the contract with a smile, and they added new clauses considerately, indicating that they strongly requested the royal family to sell the fourth batch of paper.

They even wrote that your majesty and the Empress had clearly informed them of the risks and persuaded them!

"Empress, please see if there are any more clauses in this contract!"

"If you need it, you can tell us, and we will add more!"

Lin Kaiji smiled. With Ye Chen's reaction, he bet that the cost of the royal family's paper must not be that cheap!

Even very expensive!

The first batch of paper was not very large in quantity, and the price they offered was not low. The royal family should not have lost much, and it might even have made a small profit.

But the price of the second batch of paper was only 3.3 times the original normal price.

The royal family is likely to lose money!

Ye Chen said indifferently: "Six family heads, if His Majesty's seal is stamped, you will have no chance to regret. I will give you the last quarter of an hour to think about it!"

Lin Kaiji smiled and said: "Empress, it seems that there is no problem with this clause. We don't need to consider it anymore."

After that, Lin Kaiji was the first to sign his name and stamp his hand on the contract.

This batch of paper will be delivered within one year, and it can be delivered earlier but not later!

"Empress, we are sincere in buying it."

"Empress, hurry up and let His Majesty stamp the seal."

The heads of the Tao family also quickly signed their names and stamped their hands, and they were all smiling.
