Chapter 196 Our intestines are crooked, but you are straight!
Xu Zhiyi brought the craftsmen to the shop and explained the blueprints to them, as well as how to handle various aspects of the shop and how the other half of the kitchen would be used to build two large kilns.
"Boss, we have all taken note of your request. If you want to rush the work, I will bring a few more people to help you. We will build it for you within five days."
"Thank you for your help!"
"It's not a problem. This is my duty. I am also doing this for money."
Xu Zhiyi: "Okay, I'll leave it to you. If you are free today, we can start work today!"
After leaving the shop, I planned to go to the carpenter's shop to ask how the furniture was going and to order a shop sign.
"Girl, the beds you requested can be made today, but the cabinets, tables and chairs may not be made in time! They will be a few days late!"
Xu Zhiyi: "Okay, the most important thing is the bed. As long as the bed can be delivered in time, the furniture can be delivered a few days later."
"Oh, I also need to order a shop sign. You have to take some time to help me with it. My shop is waiting for it."
"Okay, leave the name of your shop here, and I'll carve it for you when I have time."
Meanwhile, in Kyoto.
Ning Chu: "Princess, the secret guards reported that the Queen is beginning to lose her patience!"
Ji Silan: "In that case, do we have to advance our plan?"
Cheng Xingyi: "We can't do it earlier. What reason do we have now? We can only let Shi Xu and Jiang Xuan get to the border as soon as possible."
Duan Chenyou: "It is the enemy who is anxious now, why should we be anxious? The most important thing now is whether the emperor knows about the conspiracy between the queen and Duke Zhao. If he knows, what does he mean now?"
Fang Ziqing: "This Jiang Jinheng is an ungrateful person. For his own selfish desires, he allowed the Queen and Duke Zhao to plot to get rid of the princess. He is not afraid that Duke Zhao will succeed. How long can he stay on the throne?"
"If it really comes to that, I'm afraid Jiang Jinheng will be the next one!"
After realizing that he had said too much, he quickly looked at Jiang Xihe who was sitting up and explained, "Princess, I was a little excited for a moment, but what I said was the truth. If it weren't for you to suppress these restless thieves, how could he, Jiang Jin... ahem... the emperor, sit firmly on the throne?"
"I don't have the talent and knowledge of the other seven brothers. I don't know how to beat around the bush and am a little too direct, but what I say are the real problems..."
Except for the two so-called brothers who were not present, the five brothers next to him immediately glared at Fang Ziqing:
Bai Yansu: "Fang Ziqing, it seems that we are the ones with twisted intestines, and you are the only one who is straight!"
"This is so infuriating. Normally, you, Fang Ziqing, are the best at vying for favor, and you don't even know how to play tricks. Among the eight of us, you are the best at it!"
"That's right, you even slept with me once more this month."
Jiang Xihe supported his head and rubbed his temples, feeling a headache: "Be quiet, all of you go back! Let me think about this matter and discuss it another day."
Then, she looked at the six people who were hesitant to speak, and stated her position: "If this matter... has Jinheng's tacit consent, then the relationship between me and him as a brother will end here! From now on... I will pretend that I have never had a brother like him."
After hearing this, the six people knew that this matter made the princess feel uncomfortable, because there was a great possibility that the emperor condoned it behind the scenes!
Several people stood up and left, leaving the princess alone.
Ji Silan, who was walking last, had just stepped one foot out of the threshold when Jiang Xihe called out to him.
"Senior Brother"
Ji Silan turned around after hearing this and asked, "Yeah?"
Jiang Xihe: "You also know that Si Yu is still alive, go find him in a few days!"
When Ji Silan heard this, he immediately knew what she meant and shook his head to refuse:
"I won't go. Don't even think about getting rid of me. Anyway, I know now that Si Yu is doing well. Although he's not rich, it's enough that he's happy. If we are the winners after this, then we'll go together to take Si Yu home."
"But if there is an accident... at least Si Yu won't be implicated. So we absolutely cannot let them know about Si Yu's existence now. My uncle also has the same idea."
"The influence of this old villain, Duke Zhao, in the court is comparable to yours, so we are not 100% sure of winning this battle."
Jiang Xihe heard this and said firmly: "But I can't lose. If I lose, the kingdom of Fenglin will probably change hands!"
"Princess, both opposing parties in the court understand this truth. Only the emperor Jiang Jinheng is daydreaming, thinking that without you, Princess, he can take full control of the power?"
"Oh, I'm afraid that the best plan I can have is to become Zhao the dog thief's puppet emperor!!"
Jiang Xihe: "I am sorry for all eight of you. I clearly promised you that when Jin Heng can stand on his own, I will take you eight to travel around the country, but... I am going to break my promise!"
Hearing this, Ji Silan went over and gently hugged Jiang Xihe: "Princess, have you forgotten our promise to you? If the country is unstable, we will support you. If the country is stable, we will retreat with you. We will never leave you in this life!!!"
"Even if you take over the throne in the end, we will assist you and make sure that all the people of Fenglin Country live in prosperity and peace."
"Princess, you actually have the ability to do this. Over the years, you have given the emperor countless chances! That's enough!"
Jiang Xihe: "I said it last time! He will be free soon, he has no chance..."
The five of them waited outside the princess's mansion for quarter of an hour before Ji Silan came out.
When Fang Ziqing saw him, he was the first to greet him: "Third brother Ji, what did the princess say to you?"
Ji Silan teased him deliberately after hearing this: "What else can I say? Of course, you asked me to come and sleep with you tonight!"
Fang Ziqing: “…”
Ning Chu, who was standing by, slapped Ji Silan on the back of his head: "Be serious, everyone is serious now."
Ji Silan touched the back of his head and glared at Ning Chu angrily: "Hey, Ning Chu!! You can't change your habit of patting people on the head, right? Do you want to pat us all silly and let the princess pamper you alone?"
Ye Che, who had been silent the whole time, exclaimed: "Brother Ning, you always hit me on the head because of this idea!"
Ning Chu heard this, glanced at a few people, and helplessly held his forehead: "I am guilty, now it seems that you are really fooled by me!"
Cheng Xingyi: "Okay, we can't chat here if we want to. I'm afraid there are thieves watching us. Let's go to my Fuying Pavilion and have a drink."
After the few people left, there was a secret spy on a tree in the distance, staring at this place. It was a pity that he didn't find out anything. Just now they were having a secret conversation with the princess in the study, and he didn't dare to get close. After all, the princess and they both knew martial arts, and he was afraid that if he got too close, he would not be able to conceal his aura and be discovered.
Oh, except Fang Ziqing who only has some mediocre skills, everyone else's skills are real.
