Yang Bodang was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered and did not dare to raise his head. Su Ningxin and Gu Mingxi looked at each other from a place where he could not see, showing a tacit smile.
"Ahem," Gu Mingxi cleared her throat and said, "Yang Aiqing, please stay alive. I see you coming to rescue you in times of crisis. Although the Yang family's defense is at fault, I can trust your loyalty."
The kneeling Yang Bodang was relieved when he heard Gu Mingxi's words, and was once again grateful for the decision he made on the night of the assassination. If he had not appeared to save him, then the emperor's first suspicion would have been the Yang family.
After getting up, Yang Bodang said insinuatingly, "It is naturally inappropriate for the emperor to live in this simple farmhouse. Daming Mansion is located on the border, and there are not many places suitable for the emperor to live."
"Since the Yang family is so unsafe, Prince An's Palace in the city is safer." Su Ningxin said aside, eunuchs should be like this anyway, especially the favored eunuchs around the emperor.
Yang Bodang gritted his teeth and said, "The county prince has just been assassinated. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to entertain the emperor." When he said the word 'assassination', he deliberately emphasized his voice, for fear that the emperor would not know that there would also be an assassination in the county prince's palace.
Chu Jihan: "..." Isn't it appropriate to apply eye drops to my family in front of me
Of course, Chu Jihan just thought about it for himself. His current disguise is still that of Shen Zhao. Naturally, he cannot reveal his identity. He is standing aside as a guarding general.
Not wanting to see Yang Bodang's villainous behavior, Chu Jihan turned his attention to his own Ning'er. Even though she was disguised and couldn't see her original appearance, Chu Jihan still felt that she was superficially disguised. Ning'er is ten thousand times more pleasing to the eye than Yang Bo.
Then he heard, [The Yang family has been a well-established family for so many years, so they must have a good blackmail this time.]
Chu Jihan: "..." Based on his understanding of Su Ningxin, the so-called stroke... Well, a moment of silence for the Yang family.
Sure enough, when Yang Bodang finished speaking, Su Ningxin said, "Then according to Young Master Yang, where should the emperor live?"
Where do you live? Needless to say, it is naturally best to live in the Yang family's ancestral home. The manor's defense is limited. After this incident, the security of the ancestral home will definitely require more manpower than the manor.
Although I don't know if my father will assassinate him again, he will definitely put in a lot of effort.
Unfortunately, Su Ningxin's words only paused for a moment. Before Yang Bodang could speak, she continued to ask and answer herself,
"Do you still want to live in the Yang family? I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
"What's wrong?" Yang Bodang said unconvinced.
Su Ningxin chuckled and said tit for tat again, "The last time I stayed at the Yang Family Manor, the emperor was assassinated and disappeared for so many days. If I stay at the Yang Family again, who can guarantee that nothing will happen again?"
Su Ningxin raised her eyebrows as she spoke, and asked with an imposing tone, "Are you going to guarantee? With what guarantee? With your life or the lives of everyone in the Yang family? But Mr. Yang, don't forget, now the emperor is assassinated The matter has not been investigated yet, and the fate of your Yang family may not be yours."
Listening to Su Ningxin's words, even Yang Bodang, a man from an aristocratic family who was used to the world, trembled. Fortunately, the emperor stopped Su Ningxin at this time and said, "Well, you are not the one to question Young Master Yang. Don't forget. own identity.”
Su Ningxin seemed to be frightened by the emperor's scolding, lowering her head and not daring to speak any more. Yang Bodang, who was breathless during the interrogation, finally breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful look at the emperor.
However, he didn't know that this was just a little trick played by Su Ningxin and Gu Mingxi. One was a good person and the other was a bad person, and they were beaten with a stick and given a sweet date.
It is not a clever method, but it is always effective against opponents who have not become old foxes. For example, Gu Mingxi has successfully gained Yang Bodang's respect and gratitude, and what they have lost is Yang Bodang's respect for Su Ning. The goodwill of the heart.
It's a pity that Su Ningxin's current identity is Huang Dezheng, and if he loses it, he loses it. Anyway, the aristocratic family never likes eunuchs, and they don't care to make them hate them more.
Meeting Yang Bodang's gaze, Gu Mingxi knew that the goal at this stage had been achieved. He gave a sweet date with a stick, and then naturally hit him with another stick.
So Gu Mingxi said, "Although his words were a bit fierce, he was right. The manor he originally lived in might not be habitable due to the fire. It would not be suitable to live in the Yang family's ancestral home. After all, the Yang family's ancestors Living in Damingfu City, I live in the Yang family and Prince An will inevitably think too much about this... "
When Yang Bodang saw the emperor's hesitation, he immediately replied, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Since the Emperor does not want to enter the city, it is better to choose a geomantic treasure place outside the city to build a palace."
[This Uncle Yang is really wise. He came up with it without any guidance from them. ] Su Ningxin and Gu Mingxi thought at the same time.
On the side, Chu Jihan, Chu Luoye and Su Zhan watched expressionlessly as the two men teased Yang Bodang. Based on their understanding of Su Ningxin, they were definitely here for the money.
Although Gu Mingxi was happy in her heart, she still had a hesitant look on her face, "Building a palace will cost people and money, and it will take a lot of time. I won't stay in the North for long, so there is no need to be so troublesome."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Just leave these matters to the ministers. There are many manors of various families on the outskirts of Fucheng, and the buildings are quite impressive. The Yang family will pay for a suitable manor, and then repair it according to the specifications of the palace. , It will be fine in a few days." Uncle Yang said confidently.
"Wouldn't that cost Aiqing money?" Gu Mingxi looked considerate of the people and gave herself a small red flower in her heart. Chu Luojue, the dog emperor, must thank herself for protecting his image.
"These are the duties of a humble minister, how dare you say it's a waste of money." Yang Bodang said with sincerity and fear.
After the emperor agreed, Yang Bo was very happy. Spending some money was nothing. As long as it could dispel the emperor's suspicion of the Yang family, he was willing to spend twice as much money to the Yang family.
Before Yang Bodang was overjoyed, Su Ningxin came up and poured cold water on him, "Why don't you let the slaves supervise the renovation of the manor? No one knows the specifications of the palace better than the slaves."
Yang Bodang secretly grinded his teeth to kill the eunuch, but Su Ningxin's proposal was still agreed to by the emperor, and there was nothing he could do.
Chu Jihan, Chu Luoye, and Su Zhan looked at this scene, and three words jumped out in their hearts, 'You succeeded. '
They naturally knew that Gu Mingxi's so-called reluctance to live in Fucheng for fear of fighting between officials and people was false. She was not disguised at all now, and she was still wearing her own face. When she went to Fucheng, she would be recognized by Prince An and his wife immediately. Of course she wouldn't throw herself into a trap.
She just used high-sounding reasons not to go to Fucheng, but she also wanted to cheat the Yang family. All she could say was that she was worthy of Feng Ying. This continuous line of greed for money has really been passed down.
