Zhao Gou was very smart. He did not hand over Nicollo, Matteo and others to Ye Qing, but was still placed in the Lin'an Inn by Shi Miyuan, in order to prevent open and secret struggles between Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan and not to harm the Romans' interests in him.

The Romans who went to Quanzhou were accompanied by Li Heng. Zhao Gou believed that there would be no problems along the way, and this would be a good thing for the Maritime Service in the future and a great fortune.

Niccollo and Matteo who stayed in Lin'an were not in such a good situation. When mixed between Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan, they would inevitably become Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan for the chess piece of the Poli law-making. There would even be one side who wanted to kill Niccollo and Matteo to frame the other side, so that the Romans who had gone far away from Quanzhou could be used by themselves after they came back.

The Romans believed Ye Qing, but Zhao Gou handed over the Romans to Shi Miyuan for resettlement. In this way, if Ye Qing wanted to obtain the Poli Code, he would have to use the layers of checkpoints set up by Shi Miyuan for meeting him and the Romans, thereby preventing Ye Qing from obtaining the Poli Code of the Romans.

Shi Miyuan obviously cannot easily kill Nicollo and Matteo just because the Romans believed in Ye Qing and tended to Ye Qing. After all, people were handed over to him by the Supreme Emperor. If something happened, Shi Miyuan would definitely not be able to escape being questioned.

Han Cheng and Ye Qing walked out side by side, and couldn't help but smile: "It seems that the Supreme Emperor has a good understanding of you and Shi Miyuan. You can see Ye Qing but can't touch you, and Shi Miyuan can touch you, but you dare not have any evil intentions. You are so smart."

"It's better to say that the Supreme Emperor knows his nephew and Shi Miyuan, it's better to say that the Supreme Emperor's grasp of human nature has reached a perfect level. The Supreme Emperor did not decide in the hall today to belong to Poli's law. It's obviously the Supreme Emperor who is delaying it. He just doesn't want his nephew and Shi Miyuan to get involved." Ye Qing smiled and said.

Just now in the hall, Zhao Gou left as if he had forgotten the most important Poli method. Obviously, he didn't want the glamorous Poli to be controlled by anyone. If possible, Zhao Gou naturally hoped to be controlled by the royal family, not by the ministers.

After all, whether it is Ye Qing's soap, Xinpu, or Shijia and Pujia's Maritime Service, Zhao Gou, who has gradually lived a comfortable life in Lin'an and wanted to continue to be luxurious, felt a little bit of restraint and a little less freedom to enjoy the luxury.

In addition, now there is a priest Zhao Xing who is standing in the court, so Zhao Gou, the Supreme Emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, wants to continue his free and luxurious life without having to look at Zhao Xing's expression, so he can only hold the best things in his hands.

The Imperial City Department provided him with the right to intimidate his ministers, and the Maritime City Department provided him with extravagant money, but as time went by, both the Maritime City Department and the Imperial City Department now showed signs of Zhao Xing's involvement and inserting people.

Therefore, if Zhao Gou wants to truly do whatever he wants, he will inevitably not want to see the ironclad Imperial City and Maritime Affairs Office. Naturally, he hopes that both of these departments will serve him and be loyal to him.

"I don't think you have any sign of loss. Do you... don't you care much about the Poli craft that the Romans promised you?" Han Cheng looked at Ye Qing with a smile. Since he separated from Shi Miyuan, Ye Qing's expression returned to his usual easy-going appearance, and he didn't seem to care much about the Poli craft slipping away from his hands.

Ye Qing, who kept silently chanting or occasionally thinking about some words, smiled and said, "Some things are your own, and they can't be driven away. If it is not your own, even if you hold them tightly in your palm, it does not belong to you. At most, it will be kept for others. Shi Miyuan and King Xin will definitely have their little ones, but it is still early. We should first see what kind of Poli can be installed on the Gushan corridor behind us."

"Yes." Han Cheng glanced at the Gushan corridor that was gradually fading behind him, and sighed to the sky: "The other reason why the Supreme Emperor handed over the Romans left in Lin'an to Shi Miyuan was that he knew that the Gushan corridor would cost a lot of money to install the colorful Poli, and the Supreme Emperor obviously would not pay the money, and he could only pay the Maritime Division, so this was also considered the comfort and transaction of the Maritime Division or the Shi family."

"So there is still time and opportunity, right?" Ye Qingyi said mysteriously with some point of view.

"What do you...nephew mean?" Han Cheng was slightly stunned, and then muttered.

"My nephew is not good now, but we have to see what kind of Poli can install this corridor first." Ye Qing pointed to a ship on West Lake, and just told Shi Miyuan that Bai Bingzhong and Zhu Xi are on the boat, hoping that Han Cheng can act as a lobbyist for him. When he explained the matter about Fan Niande clearly to Bai Bingzhong, a palace maid suddenly hurried out from the small door next to him.

Looking at the palace maid in front of him, Ye Qing was about to speak when he heard the palace maid hushly saying, "Ye Shaoqing, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please come over."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Ye Qing was stunned, and for some reason, the way Li Fengniang twisted her delicate body like a white snake under him that night.

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince said there is something important to discuss with Shaoqing, and I hope Shaoqing will not refuse." The palace maid lowered her head and continued.

Ye Qing couldn't help but look at Han Cheng next to him. Han Cheng, who was also suspicious in his expression. When he looked at Ye Qing, he immediately smiled and said, "You're good to go over. As for the matter of letting your father-in-law be left to me. Besides, if you were present, even if I could explain it clearly, I'm afraid your father-in-law wouldn't be slouching in front of you, right?"

"Then I thank Uncle Han. I will come to my house to thank him another day." Ye Qing bowed to Han Cheng with an easy-going smile.

Han Cheng waved his hand and signaled Ye Qing and the palace maid to walk into the Gushan Garden behind him again, and then walked towards the shore of the West Lake.

Following the palace maids to approach the Gushan Garden again, she did not pass by the winding corridor, but chose a slightly winding path and came to a rather secluded royal palace.

The palace complex is not very large, just like the buildings in Lin'an Palace. Because the place is small, this small palace complex is built as much as possible.

As the palace maids walked into the palace, they had just saluted the prince Zhao Dun, who stood up and smiled happily. The prince immediately pulled Ye Qing's arm and sat down on the chair, "I took the liberty to ask Shaoqing to come over and give it a sigh, and I hope Shaoqing will be willing to...."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is polite. The ministers are the duty of their ministers. I am a minister of the Song Dynasty and naturally also the ministers of His Highness. When His Highness the Crown Prince summoned me, I naturally have to come as soon as possible, so that I can be my duty as a minister." Ye Qing stood up again from the chair that had just been pressed off by Zhao Dun and said respectfully.

"Shaoqing, don't be polite to Gu. Gu invited Shaoqing here today. I wanted to ask about something, but I don't know if Shaoqing is willing to tell the truth?" Crown Prince Zhao Dun is about the same age as Ye Qing, but there is a hint of hostility between his eyebrows, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, please tell me that I should speak in full." Ye Qing sat on the chair and said slightly.

Li Fengniang, who was standing beside him, looked at the respectful and humble appearance of the treacherous minister Ye Qing, and his heart was filled with contempt. If it weren't for the prince's side, Li Fengniang would have mocked Ye Qing again.

After saying that, Ye Qing looked up at the prince and waited for the prince to ask him, but saw the prince's gaze shifting towards Li Fengniang, and then he instantly understood in his heart that the so-called invitation from His Highness the Crown Prince was afraid that it would be unrelated to this woman. It seemed that Li Fengniang asked the prince to summon him.

When Ye Qing's gaze also looked at Li Fengniang with the prince, Li Fengniang walked down from the hall and came to the two men. She didn't even look at the prince. Her beautiful eyes were only staring at Ye Qing, who looked humble and stood up respectfully and said: "I ask you, why are you not fighting for the Poli method in front of the Supreme Emperor today in front of the Supreme Emperor? Do you know how expensive this Poli is? Just this lonely mountain corridor costs a lot! Why did you miss such a great opportunity?"

"This... if the Crown Princess said, I am afraid I can't make the decision in this matter. I guess the Supreme Emperor has already made a decision in his heart, so he didn't leave it to me." Ye Qing replied with a slight salute.

The prince Zhao Dun next to him nodded from time to time when Li Fengniang was asking questions. It was obvious that he and Li Fengniang had the same idea. It was a pity that Ye Qing did not seize the great opportunity to obtain the Poli Technique in the hall today.

"The Romans have already promised you, let alone you are the only Romans' words all night long. Who else can have a smooth conversation with the Romans except you? I think this is something you did on purpose. You don't want this Poli method, you just want to keep your soap and make a fortune in a new stick, right?" Li Fengniang did not become gentle and calm because of Ye Qing's words, and her tone was still aggressive.

"My decree Ye Qing is just a minister of my Song Dynasty. No matter what, he should be the leader of the Supreme Emperor and the emperor's will. As a minister, how can he easily refer to..." Ye Qing glanced at the prince next to him, and then said to Li Fengniang.

"Don't tell me these useless excuses. How important is the Poli method? Ye Qing doesn't know? Do you know that after today, Shi Miyuan will definitely use all means to win over the two Romans, so as to obtain the Poli method before you. Once others get it, what else can you do? Could it be that if you watch the large amount of money earned by Shi Miyuan alone?" Li Fengniang did not hide her greed for money in front of the prince.

The Crown Prince Zhao Dun didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with Li Fengniang's words. Even Li Fengniang's aggressive tone, in Zhao Dun's opinion, was just a reprimand and inspiring statement from the Crown Princess to a minister.

"This matter... I am afraid I can't be the master of this matter. Your Highness, Princess. If the Princess wants to make the law, you can speak to the Supreme Emperor with Your Highness. I'm afraid it's useless to tell me?" Ye Qing looked down at his shoes, and from time to time he would also aim at the tip of Li Fengniang's shoes exposed from under the hem of the skirt.
