With something that could counterbalance Chu Yunge in her hands, Baili Lan calmly asked the question that she wanted to know.

”Yes.” When I cheated the salary away, Feng Yi was indeed by my side, and he was also involved in this matter. But I got the idea. ”

This time, Chu Yunge did not bend the truth, and did not dare to mock and ridicule them.

The smile on Baili Lan's face became even more profound. His eyes returned onto Chu Yunge's body, and landed on that stiff yet elegant face of hers. He continued to ask: ”Why did you swindle away that much silver? ”Also, you tricked all the gentlemen in Dazhou City into leaving. What exactly do you want to do?”

No matter what, Baili Lan was still the emperor of a nation.

Especially after having gone through the decimation of his descendants; if he didn't have any brains, he wouldn't have been able to defeat the other princes, defeat the crippled crown prince, and take the throne of the emperor.

If Chu Yunge was really doing it for fun, swindling some silver would have been fine, but why would she say the words of deducting a decade's worth of taxes to swindle all the rich merchants in Dazhou City into using Great Chu Kingdom?

Hmph, even if everyone believed the reason given by Chu Yunge, he, Baili Lan, would not believe it so easily.

My silver taels …” It was really for fun. But after what happened last night, I had a plan. ” Chu Yunge hesitated for a moment before speaking the truth, ”I know that your Mingyue Country's territory is 10,000 miles wide and is rich, so I am unwilling and jealous. The business standards of our Great Chu are not as developed as yours. That's why we thought of swindling away the merchants in the Great Liang City to do business in the Great Chu, so that we could stimulate our domestic tax economy. ”It will also break the economic chain in Daliangcheng, giving you a headache for a while.

After Chu Yunge said these words in a low voice, she blinked her long eyelashes, and retracted her gaze from Baili Lan's eyes. She looked at her toes, and hid the emotions that surged in his eyes.

The answer she gave Baili Lan was half true and half false.

Accurately speaking, it was seventy percent true and thirty percent false.

Her initial goal was indeed to get a little jealous of the flourishing Bright Moon Kingdom, so as to collapse one of the three main cities, the Great Liang City.

But when she decided to meet the taxes as a princess for ten years and lobbied the businessmen to leave, her plans became even more complicated.

She could not help but want to fight an economic battle with Baili Lan, and wanted to use these two big events to anger Baili Lan and enter the State Supervisor Temple. This way, she would be able to approach the crippled crown prince.

However, the latter question was too important for her to reveal.

If he were to lie to Baili Lan, Baili Lan would definitely be able to see through his lies. But if she was lying, and if all he said was true, and he did not reveal any more information, then Baili Lan had no way to tell.

”Hehe, Chu Yunge, I have to say, your thoughts are truly strange, clever and clear, and you are truly different from other women.” Baili Lan's gaze was locked onto Chu Yunge's face, not letting go of any of the expressions that flashed across her face, as he carefully tried to guess what she was thinking.

Hearing Chu Yunge's reply, it did indeed have some credibility.

But for some reason, he felt that things wouldn't be so simple.

”When you do all this, will Feng Yi let you do it?” Baili Lan asked in a leisurely manner, as though he was not in a hurry at all.

But Chu Yunge was different, she was still being beaten, and the slap still reverberated in the hall without end.

Brother Yun could not pretend that he did not hear it, but her martial arts were truly limited, and she could not use her fists or kicks to make the two of them stop, so she could only answer Baili Lan's questions honestly and quickly.

The faster she answered, the faster it would be possible for her to allow Baili Lan to finish interrogating all his questions as soon as possible and stop the unusual torture he was going through.

”Feng Yi had a deep relationship with me, and now he dotes on me. When I was doing these things, although he wasn't satisfied, he still helped me do it. Furthermore … Because Feng Yi had left early, he did not see any trace of Feng Yi at all. At the moment, although I have pleaded guilty, I do not have any physical evidence, so I am not taking Feng Yi at the scene. Just based on my testimony alone, it would be difficult for the Emperor to give Feng Yi a similar punishment. ”

”Heh heh, you're smart. That's right, you've already confessed, but Feng Yi left long ago, and he didn't capture you on the spot. Based on your testimony, it's not enough to inform Feng Lai Kingdom about this matter. However, in this world, I'm afraid you are the only one who can make Feng Yi do such a thing. ” Baili Lan scoffed, but just as he said that, the smile on his face quickly disappeared, ”Are you really doing all these just because of jealousy? You want to destroy the economy of Bright Moon Kingdom?”

”Yes.” I didn't leave after I'd done all this, just waited to see how angry you'd be. ”However, I never would have thought that you would vent your anger on others.” Chu Yunge admitted it expressionlessly.

”Now that you see my expression, I wonder if you are satisfied. Is it as you expected?” The smile on Baili Lan's face had already become somewhat twisted.

”It's even scarier than I thought.” Chu Yunge replied softly. After hearing the slap coming from behind her, she became anxious and took a deep breath, unable to hold back, she asked, ”Your Majesty, I've already answered everything that you want to ask. I wonder if you can make people stop punishing those who are not ordinary?”
