Yang Ning's face changed greatly. He had already stood up, looked around, then hurried to the door, and looked outside. There was silence everywhere, and there was no trace of anyone else. Even the little eunuch who served tea just now was nowhere to be seen. , closed the door immediately, turned around, and said angrily: "You are so bold, you dare to slander me... I, my lord, do you know that you are slandering me? You are slandering me."
Xiao Guang was calm and calm, and he had already stood up straight.
The last time Yang Ning saw Xiao Guang, the little eunuch was in trouble. At that time, his complexion was very poor, but now his jade face was red, and he was handsome and handsome. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: " Do you really not know me? Don’t forget, I still owe you five hundred taels of gold, you don’t want it anymore?”
Yang Ning thought to himself, let alone five hundred taels of gold, I want fifty taels of gold. But if I really want your gold, wouldn't it mean that I am admitting that I am pretending to be the Marquis of Jinyi? What's more, this little eunuch didn't look like he had five hundred taels of gold. He stepped forward with a stern face and whispered: "What is gold or not? Don't talk nonsense. I don't know. By the way, I can warn you." , I am the Marquis of Jin Yi, if you slander me, you will not be able to live without me." He glared at Xiao Guang fiercely.
Xiao Guang sighed: "It turns out that you are a person who is greedy for profit. I thought I was wrong. You deceived the emperor, and I must expose you to the emperor." After saying that, he was about to leave. Yang Ning grabbed his arm and said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? Come on, come on, sit down and talk first."
Xiao Guang looked at Yang Ning and asked, "Do you admit it?"
"Admit what?"
"Are you the fake Marquis of Jinyi?" Xiao Guang said.
Yang Ning stamped her foot and lowered her voice: "Can you please lower your voice? If you really want to be heard, do you want to see me beheaded? I said Xiao Guang, it turns out you are a eunuch."
Seeing Yang Ning's admission, Xiao Guang smiled and said, "I recognized you at a glance, and you're still pretending in front of me."
Yang Ning actually knew very well in his heart that if Xiao Guang really revealed his fake Jin Yihou, no matter whether others would believe it immediately or not, the matter would be of great importance. As long as it really needs to be investigated, the key is that when no one suspects it, many things can be done If you get away with it, but if you really suspect that yours is a fake, then many things will become more and more wrong the more you think about it, and sooner or later you will have to reveal the truth.
Now the only person who knows about his fake identity is Xiao Guang. As long as this little eunuch is dealt with, things will be much easier to handle.
The worst thing to do is to at least coax Xiao Guang first so that he will not expose it immediately, so as to give himself time to escape.
Yang Ning stretched out his hand and said: "Five hundred taels of gold, hurry up and bring it. We have agreed that when I arrive in the capital, you will give it to me immediately. A man can't keep his word."
"I keep my word." Xiao Guang said with a smile: "But tell me first, how did you become the Marquis of Jinyi? No, how did you become the Prince of Jinyi first?"
Yang Ning knew that she couldn't hide it from him, so she thought for a moment and finally told what happened after Xiao Guang left that day.
After hearing this, Xiao Guang was greatly surprised and said in horror: "You mean, that...that real Qi Ning looks exactly like you? Are there such weird things in the world?"
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders." Yang Ning said with a bitter smile: "I was also bumped into by people from Jinyi Mansion by some strange combination of circumstances. You said that if I told them that I was not Qin Ning, but I was wearing his clothes, how could I Is the explanation clear? Maybe they thought I was the one who killed Prince Jinyi, so why don’t they just cut him into pieces?”
Xiao Guang nodded slightly and said: "In this way, you have really been pushed to the top, and you have been forced step by step to the position of the Jinyi Crown Prince." Then he laughed and said: "You guy, your luck is not bad, from a It’s really not easy for a homeless man with no food and clothing to turn into a prince in Jinyi in the blink of an eye." He actually sat down on the chair and asked: "Yes, let me ask you, if you are pretending to be the prince in Jinyi, are you from the Jinyi Hou Mansion? Didn’t you notice? No matter how similar they look, there are always some differences in their daily words and deeds, right? The people in Jinyihou Mansion are not stupid, can you deceive them? "
Yang Ning smiled and said: "You don't know something in the palace. It turns out that the Jinyi Prince has a brain...!" Pointing to his temple, "There is not much light here, and things are dull and stupid. The people in the Hou Mansion are still there. Worry about it.”
Xiao Guang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I understand. After you returned home, you suddenly became smarter. They just thought that Prince Jinyi was stimulated and therefore became normal. Since you have become smart, it is natural that your speech and behavior are different from before. "I just thought this was a bit unbelievable, and couldn't help laughing again.
Yang Ning frowned and whispered: "Stop laughing, don't let others hear you." He rolled his eyes and chuckled: "Xiao Guang, may I ask you something?"
Xiao Guang said: "What?"
"That...!" Yang Ning glanced at Xiao Guang's crotch, and was about to ask when something came to mind, and finally said: "It's nothing. By the way, when did you enter the palace? Hey, by the way, last time I The old man holding the sword you saw, is he your master?"
"Not bad, why, have you met my master?" Xiao Guang asked.
Yang Ning nodded and said: "Last time there was a funeral, the palace sent Eunuch Fan there, and your master also went with him. I thought I had seen the wrong person." When he understood, he thought that the little eunuch's master was naturally an old eunuch. Since Xiao Guang is an eunuch in the palace, his master is naturally an old eunuch in the palace.
However, I saw the old eunuch take action that day. It was really impressive. I thought to myself that in the palace garden, there are naturally many masters around the emperor. It is not uncommon for the old eunuch to have strong martial arts skills. I just don't know that the old eunuch is in the palace again. What a status.
He knew that Mr. Fan was the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Chief of Eunuchs. Although he was only an eunuch, he had a transcendent status among the eunuchs and maids.
If it weren't for the Jinyi Hou Mansion, I'm afraid there would be no need for Eunuch Fan to go out in person to convey the order.
Xiao Guang said with a smile: "My master was besieged by those assassins. Fortunately, my master has great martial arts skills and I was not by his side. Instead, he lost his scruples, fought his way out and escaped with his life."
Yang Ning hurriedly asked: "By the way, why do those assassins want to assassinate you? Is there something in you that they insist on?"
Xiao Guang just smiled and said: "After all, none of them can escape."
"Xiao Guang, let's talk about it. You are a little eunuch in the palace. Why did you leave the palace and go so far away?" Yang Ning was a little confused. "The Black Blade Battalion personally went out to rescue you. Do you have So much face?"
"Just think that I have important secrets." Xiao Guang chuckled, walked to the desk, picked up a plate of snacks in his hand, twisted a piece of snacks and put it in his mouth, "What are you going to do next? You still keep Keep pretending? Or find an opportunity to slip away?"
Yang Ning was a little surprised when she saw him getting some snacks. She thought to herself that this guy was really brave. Then he thought, this guy was on duty here and he probably brought the snacks. It wouldn't be difficult to make up for it later. He was originally He was a little hungry, and he had scruples just now, not to take things randomly. Now Xiao Guang, a young eunuch, dared to take things, so he was not polite. He walked over and took another plate of snacks in his hand. Xiao Guang glanced at it and was stunned. For a moment, he smiled.
Yang Ning took the snacks, sat down on the chair, and tasted them with gusto. The things in this palace are still very particular, and they taste really good. Yang Ning devoured them, and in a moment he had finished half of them. Then he raised his head and said, "You have it?" Little do you know, if I wanted to run away, I could have left long ago, but a lot of things happened in the Jinyihou Mansion. Hey, let me tell you this, if I really want to run away now, the Jinyihou Mansion will probably collapse. "
Xiao Guang and Yang Ning sat face to face and asked curiously: "Is it so serious? Are you bragging?"
"I won't explain it to you anymore." Yang Ning said while eating: "I say Xiao Guang, we have lived and died together, and I have saved your life. You won't really tell this matter, right? ?”
"Then it depends on how you treat me." Xiao Guang saw that Yang Ning seemed to be very interested in dim sum. He stood up and put the plate next to Yang Ning. Then he went back and sat down and said, "If you treat me well, this will I will help you hide the matter, and if you treat me badly, I will expose it immediately."
Yang Ning said angrily: "You know my temper, threaten me, but I won't do this." After finishing the snacks on his plate, he picked up the plate Xiao Guang sent him, and then said: "But now I am Jinyi Hou, if you want to be rich and honorable, don’t forget each other, of course I won’t treat you badly.”
"Oh?" Xiao Guang said with a smile: "You are a very loyal person. How are you going to help me?"
"I think your status in the palace is still very low now." Yang Ning said: "I am the Marquis of Jinyi now, and I guess the emperor will give me some face. When the time comes, I will help you to intercede, and I will say that you are a smart little eunuch. Smart and sensible, I will promote you. By the way, that Eunuch Fan has a good relationship with me. From what I see, he is not difficult to talk to. If I can say a few nice things to you in front of him, your life will be easy. many?"
Xiao Guang said: "You helped me because you were afraid that I would expose you?"
Yang Ning leaned on the chair and said: "That's not entirely true. To be honest, you are not annoying. After all, we are both in trouble. I miss our old friendship. Since we are destined to meet again, Together, I can't ignore it." Although the two plates are exquisite, they are not big, and they don't hold a lot of snacks. Yang Ning finished it in a moment, then put down the plate and continued: "Don't worry, As long as I don't leave for a day, I will always protect you, which may not make you prosperous, but it will be better than now. Why are we friends?"
Xiao Guang stared at Yang Ning and asked: "You are now the Marquis of Jinyi, and I am a young eunuch. There is a huge difference in status. Do you still recognize me as your friend?"
"Why don't you admit it?" Yang Ning was stunned and asked: "Friends are friends, as long as they can talk about it, who cares about their status?" He smiled and said: "Xiao Guang, do you think you can't reach me? Don't I'm so worried, aren't I lying?" Then he frowned and said, "But the emperor is procrastinating in doing things. I've been waiting all afternoon. Look, it's almost dark outside. Why hasn't the emperor summoned him? Are you kidding me?"
