When the Zhou family father and son left, and when Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi walked out of the room, Qin Li was still immersed in the fifty-tael crit every month.
Even the look he looked at Xiao Jinzhi had a bit of "resentment".
Seeing Qin Li's appearance, Chu Huanyan was confused and couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"
Qin Li shook his head stiffly, "No, it's nothing."
He was just feeling sad for his worthless contribution.
"Is it really nothing?" Xiao Jinzhi raised his eyebrows playfully, "Didn't you just want to go to Ning'an Hou Mansion to see the gate?"
Yan Yan had no inner strength and did not hear what Qin Li said just now, but he made the other party's ambition clear.
"Look at the gate?" Chu Huanyan looked at Qin Li doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
The latter froze in place, so... was his voice really too loud just now?
His Highness actually heard it. It's over. He can't even keep his twenty-tael monthly money now, right?
Seeing Qin Li's gloomy face, Chu Huanyan became more and more confused and couldn't help but look at Xian Yue who was standing aside.
Xian Yue glanced at Qin Li dumbfounded, then walked to her young lady and lowered her voice and told what had just happened.
"So, how much is your monthly salary now?" Chu Huanyan asked Qin Li curiously.
The latter stretched out two fingers and said like a mourning concubine: "Twenty taels."
"So much." Chu Huanyan raised her eyebrows and said playfully, "Although the monthly salary of the gatekeeper in the Hou Mansion has been increased, it is only four taels of silver now."
Qin Li: "..."
"Why are there so many of the Crescent Moon ones?"
"I am biased."
Qin Li: "..."
Turning stiffly to look at Xiao Jinzhi, Qin Li said bitterly: "Your Majesty, do you think your subordinates can be favored?"
"Yes." Xiao Jinzhi nodded seriously.
Qin Li's eyes lit up.
"In order to show my partiality and uniqueness towards you, I plan to only give you ten taels next month."
Qin Li: "..." I can't survive this day!
All joking aside, in the end, under Chu Huanyan’s sympathetic eyes, the loyal Qin guard still received a “substantial” salary increase of ten taels of silver!
However, although the money has increased, the gap is still obvious. In the next two days, when Qin Li looked at Xian Yue, he couldn't help but look at the rich with "envy".
In the past two days, the arranged news spread quickly, and almost the entire Jinzhou City knew that Zhou Muting was lurking in Danyue Kingdom to inquire for information.
At the same time, everyone was talking about Huangfu Ling pretending to be Han Yang and sending Tianyi as an envoy.
I feel that Danyue is really shameless and cannot be put on the stage. On the surface, he is doing business under the guise of doing business, but behind his back, he is scheming. It is really disgusting.
When Ling Qi reported the news to Huangfuling, his tone was filled with annoyance.
"Your Highness, the people in Jinzhou City are scolding them very unpleasantly now. If they are allowed to continue to spread the news like this, I am afraid that the Zhou family and Queen Tianyi will be able to escape unscathed."
"Chu Huanyan is ruthless enough. The news was spread promptly and decisively. Unless Zhou Muting comes forward, judging from the current spread of the news, most people will believe that he is really a spy lurking in Danyue Kingdom." Huangfu Ling looked calm.
He thought that Chu Huanyan came all the way to Jinzhou because he valued his relationship with the Zhou family and wanted to make things right again. Even for the sake of Zhou Yubai and Zhou Xuanqi, she would choose to persuade Zhou Muting to be sensible and emotional.
But now it seems that she has no intention of making Zhou Muting repent, but chooses to directly cut off the other party's path.
"How is the situation at the court?"
"Your Highness, there hasn't been much news yet. It's just that there were many people who were ready to make a move some time ago. Now that they know that His Highness is not in the court at all, they will probably make more small calculations." Ling Qi frowned. said.
Some people have always been dissatisfied with His Highness's presiding over the government, and there have been many small tricks overtly and covertly, but His Highness has never dealt with them. Perhaps it was to stabilize the court. After all, killing too many courtiers in a short period of time would inevitably cause turmoil, and it would not be easy to fill the vacancies.
"Your Highness." Seeing that Huangfuling didn't speak, Ling Qi raised his hands and said, "If those courtiers really believed that Zhou Muting went to Danyue to find out the news, they would probably make a fuss about it. After all, he was promoted to the court by His Highness. Tang’s.”
Although even if we seize this point, we may not be able to do anything to His Highness, the gossip is not pleasant after all.
And whenever he thought of those people being complacent and jumping up and down thinking they had grasped the handle, he felt unhappy.
Huangfuling played with the wine glass in his hand. Listening to Ling Qi's dissatisfied tone, a smile overflowed from his lips.
Although the smile was extremely charming, it was a bit frighteningly cold, and it seemed like it could freeze a person's internal organs just by looking at it from a distance.
"Get ready and go back to Danyue."
"Yes." Ling Qi responded immediately, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. His Highness finally decided to go back.
"In addition..." Huangfuling spoke again, "Send a message back to the court, issue credentials in the name of Danyue, and invite Tianyi and North and Mexico to send envoys to Danyue to discuss the transaction together on the tenth day of the next month."
"Your Highness, is it too tight? Beimo Imperial City is not too far away from our country. After the news is passed, we may be able to arrive as scheduled. But over at Tianyi Imperial City..."
"Do you think Xiao Jinzhi is in Tianyi Imperial City?" Huangfuling interrupted Ling Qi.
"Your Highness, what do you mean..." Ling Qi was surprised, "But we have not received any news that Emperor Tianyi has left the imperial city."
"Xiao Jinzhi has his own methods, but it is estimated that he must have left the imperial city now, and maybe he has arrived in Jinzhou."
After all, Xiao Jinzhi's weakness is too obvious. With such a big threat to him in Jinzhou City, he shouldn't feel relieved to leave his queen alone here.
What's more, Xiao Jinzhi might not have guessed that sooner or later the Three Kingdoms would meet, and he would have to come this time sooner or later.
……
Zhou family, noon.
Chu Huanyan and Xiao Jinzhi were in the hall, having breakfast with Zhou Xuanqi and Zhou Yubai.
Looking at the dishes in front of him, Zhou Xuanqi hesitated several times.
"Uncle, just say whatever you want." Chu Huanyan put down the chopsticks in her hand and looked at Zhou Xuanqi.
"I..." Zhou Xuanqi looked at Chu Huanyan in embarrassment, "Huanyan, uncle just wants to ask again, is the medicine given to Ting'er really okay?"
Ting'er has been locked in the room for the past two days, and with the medicine given by Dr. Shen, he has been drowsy, but nothing happened.
But as the saying goes, medicine is three parts poisonous, so he was still a little worried. If he kept taking the medicine, would it have any impact on Ting'er?
"Uncle, you can rest assured. Dr. Shen has excellent medical skills. If he says there is no problem, then he is sure of it." Chu Huanyan said.
"But I'm still worried..."
Zhou Xuanqi wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Zhou Yubai.
"Xuan Qi, starting from tomorrow, you are not allowed to step into Ting'er's yard again."
