Princess Yongshou woke up with a cry, and saw that it was Yu Momo, the old hag, who was pinching her again.
She raised her hand to slap her, but was grabbed by Nanny Yu, who slapped her in the face.
"You're still playing smoothly, aren't you?
Don't you see what the situation is like now? We are both in trouble, and no one is nobler than the other. Right now, it all depends on strength."
Princess Yongshou was slapped in the face and became obedient, and started to cry.
"You all bully me, you all bully me. Now even an old hag like you dares to step on my head. What's the point of me living?"
"Then you can just die!
But remember to settle the bill before you die, because you will be separated by the Yin and Yang, and money cannot be exchanged, which will be too troublesome to operate." Leng Yue said.
Princess Yongshou was confused and asked Leng Yue with tears on her face, "What bill do you want to settle?
I don't even know you, when have I ever owed you money?"
Leng Yue pointed with her little hand, and it was the maids that she had knocked unconscious before, "I will help you set the rules for the servants, so that they won't embarrass you when they go out.
You are a princess, your dignity is so valuable! If you calculate it this way, you should give me a lot!
And that fat maid you sent out to deliver the letter actually accused you of poisoning us. I dealt with that traitorous slave on your behalf, and now we have settled this account.
And your guards and secret guards have injured many of our brothers. You have to pay for the medical expenses!
When they die, we still have to deal with their bodies and pay for the funeral.
As for the labor fees of us brothers, you have to pay for them. Our hard work cannot be in vain.
Especially now that food is so expensive, everyone is starving after this move.
You are a princess of the heavenly family, and we are all your people. Can you bear to see your people starve?
I don’t ask for more than this total, just one million taels of silver, which is not too much, right?
"What? One million taels isn't much, and you dare to ask for it!
This is the first time I've heard of such perverse ideas to get money. You're simply going too far. Why don't you just rob people? Wouldn't that make money faster?" Princess Yongshou replied angrily.
Leng Yue put her arms around the bear, looked down at her and said, "Don't you realize that I'm robbing her now?
It’s just that the word “rob” sounds too ugly. I don’t like it and it doesn’t fit my personality.
And I'm saving your face. Which one is more embarrassing, giving it to me on your own initiative or having it taken away? Don't you have any idea?"
Having said that, Princess Yongshou still felt heartbroken when she thought about losing one million taels for no reason.
Seeing that Princess Yongshou was hesitating and refusing to cooperate, Leng Yue decided to give her another drastic measure.
She walked forward and patted Princess Yongshou on the face, "Be sensible, I am informing you, not asking for your opinion.
Since it seems that you are not really investing the money you put in, let me put it another way and I'm sure you will accept it.
This one million taels is your life-saving money. If you think about it this way, isn't it not too much at all? And it's a good deal, right?"
Princess Yongshou nodded unconsciously, "That's right, I'm a princess, my life is valuable!"
After realizing that Leng Yue had tricked him, he quickly tried to make amends, "Don't you just want money?
That's easy. I'll send a letter to the capital later and someone will deliver it to you right away.
But if you take the money, you must let me go."
Leng Yue also showed a satisfied smile, "Okay, okay."
He took out his writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone and threw them to Princess Yongshou, "Write quickly and send the letter by carrier pigeon. Remember to be concise and don't play tricks. Don't forget that your life is in my hands!
As for the time, you can write whatever you want. Anyway, the sooner the money arrives, the less suffering you will have to endure. You can decide for yourself."
When Leng Yue saw that Princess Yongshou's seal was actually her ring, she was moved and confiscated it immediately.
I thought to myself that it might be necessary to visit the princess's mansion again next time I go to Beijing.
He signaled the secret guards to capture Princess Yongshou and Nanny Yu and let them fight each other, so that everyone could have fun.
He shouted, "Stop it!"
A team was left behind to clean up the mess, burn the bodies, finish off the enemies and silence the witnesses, and everyone returned to the village.
Princess Yongshou and Nanny Yu were deliberately locked in the same cell, and were not given any water or food.
The two of them were now like cross-eyed chickens, and they would start fighting as soon as they met. Leng Yue and the secret guards began to place bets on who would win or lose.
At first, the fight between the two was purely a personal grudge, but later they stopped when they got tired of fighting.
In the end, he was forced to fight.
If they don't get water, they won't be given any food. They could still endure without food, but if they don't get any water in this hot weather, they will die of heat and thirst.
Leng Yue set the rule that whoever wins will be given three sips of water. That’s right, three sips, not a little more.
Princess Yongshou never imagined that she would be played like a monkey for a sip of water!
I wanted to cry just thinking about it, but due to lack of water, I couldn’t even cry. In the end, I just fainted from exhaustion.
Huo Jingxuan didn't understand why Leng Yue suddenly had the idea of asking Princess Yongshou for money. When Leng Yue returned to her room after seeing enough of the fun, he quickly asked.
"Wife, why do you want money?
Aren’t you afraid that you won’t get paid and your work will be wasted?”
Leng Yue was confident and assured Huo Jingxuan, "Don't worry, you will definitely receive the money, and it will only be more, not less.
Because I asked An Qi to imitate Princess Yongshou's handwriting and write a note to her old lover, saying that the matter had been accomplished, and that an additional 30,000 troops would be added. The money had not been recovered yet, so he was asked to send it quickly as he was short of military funds. "
He changed the subject and rolled his eyes at Huo Jingxuan, "You still have the nerve to ask me why I need money? Look at these people on the mountain, they have almost 30,000 people, and every item of food, clothing, and daily necessities costs money.
I can't find any money for the military, and you plan to let them starve to death!
All our money must be used for printing, and we can't spend it indiscriminately.
My principle is to avoid spending my own money if I can, to do the biggest things with the least money, and it is best to spend other people’s money to do my own big things. "
Huo Jingxuan was really defeated by this money-grubber, but it was good to have Ba Jiahu, he didn't have to worry about money at all now.
In the past, I was almost going bald because of worrying about money and military expenses every day.
All day long he is either thinking about where to rob or planning where to dig tunnels. A good general is about to become a bandit leader.
The group of secret guards under his command are like groundhogs all day long. Thinking about it, it was really difficult for them before.
Thinking of this, he remembered that his wife had promised An Shi to secretly roast a whole lamb, and thought about making it up to the secret guards!
"Wife, are you free now?"
Leng Yue misunderstood and thought Huo Jingxuan was going to do something inappropriate for children!
She nodded shyly, and said in what she thought was the most gentle voice: "Yes, I'm free."
As a result, the idiot Huo Jingxuan didn't notice it at all, and he didn't hear that Leng Yue's voice was any different from usual.
He even moved closer to Leng Yue and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Then let's go into the space and roast the whole lamb. Didn't you promise An Shi?"
When Leng Yue heard the first half, her heart suddenly became excited, and she even wanted to pretend to be reserved.
When I heard the second half, my heart suddenly fell to the ground and broke into eight pieces. I felt so cold.
Still not giving up, he asked again, "Enter the space and roast, roast a whole lamb?"
Huo Jingxuan thought Leng Yue didn't hear clearly, so he nodded, "Yes, roasted whole lamb!"
Leng Yue bit her back teeth and said, "Why don't you sleep at night? Roast your sister's whole lamb, roast a whole lamb. I think you look like a roasted whole lamb. Go to sleep, you straight man!"
