The emperor looked at Yi Zilan with a faint smile.
Seeing this, the latter immediately asked curiously, "Your Majesty, since Gu Yundong has made such a great contribution, shouldn't we reward her?"
Speaking of this, the Emperor also had a headache.
Previously, when the white sugar formula was presented, he had thought about it. However, Qin Wenzheng said that at that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne and the royal court had yet to stabilize. The national treasury was empty and there were a lot of things to do. The time was not suitable.
Furthermore, the imperial court was still in chaos. If the emperor rewarded Gu Yundong, it would push her to the forefront of the storm. It would not do her any good.
Hence, the emperor remembered this credit and allowed Gu Yundong to own the sugar workshop. In a small city like Fengkai County, Qin Wenzheng could still protect her.
