Chapter 45 See You There
"Stop shouting." Gong Lan kindly reminded him, "Your guards have been taken down."
Xiao Yi was shocked and felt very uncomfortable at the same time.
Under his quilt...
"What do you want to do now?" Xiao Yi was a little angry. After all, he was a prince.
I was blackmailed for three thousand taels last time, which was frustrating enough.
"I gave you so much silver, but you didn't even hurt a hair of Ling Chan. Is this how you do business in Qingyi Tower?" He vented his unhappiness.
Gong Lan laughed in her heart. No matter how Qingyi Tower did business, it couldn't assassinate her young master.
"Prince Huai doesn't need to worry about how Qingyi Tower does business."
"King Huai should worry about himself."
In order to intimidate Xiao Yi, Gong Lan slowly approached Xiao Yi, and finally stood beside Xiao Yi's bed, looking down at him.
Xiao Yi subconsciously pulled the quilt again to cover himself more tightly.
"I won't waste my time talking to King Huai anymore."
Gong Lan looked Xiao Yi up and down with a smile, "The three thousand taels from last time was not enough. This time, Qingyi Tower wants six thousand taels."
"You are crazy!" Xiao Yi was so angry that he wanted to stand up, with his hands on the quilt. Fortunately, he still had his wits about him.
"I asked you to assassinate Ling Chan, what did you do?"
"You still have the nerve to ask me for money?"
"Qingyi Tower, isn't Qingyi Tower afraid of being ridiculed by people in the martial arts world?"
Gong Lan looked at his face, which was even redder than before, and replied calmly, "Don't be afraid."
"You." Xiao Yi took two deep breaths, "I tell you, I won't be threatened by you this time."
"Your Qingyi Building..."
Gong Lan silently picked up a piece of messy clothes on the ground, pulled out a jade pendant from it, and then threw the clothes away in disgust.
"What do you want to do?" Xiao Yi's eyes followed the jade pendant...
"Prince Huai, dissatisfied with the marriage granted by the late emperor, secretly colluded with the Qingyilou sect to assassinate his fiancée..."
"Does the Emperor know about this matter? Does the Empress Dowager know about it?"
"Or was it a signal from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager?"
"Oh...that leaves a lot to the imagination."
"King Huai probably doesn't want to marry Ling Chan, right?" Gong Lan said, but she was thinking in her heart, you don't deserve it!
"If this matter gets out, will the Emperor and the Queen Mother order Prince Huai to marry Ling Chan immediately to be his consort in order to silence Youyou?"
Xiao Yi became angrier the more he listened, but he had no way to vent his anger.
"Prince Huai, please think about it carefully. This time... I will give you two days."
"See you at the same place at noon the day after tomorrow!"
After she finished speaking, she raised an eyebrow and said, "Remind Prince Huai that the guards in your courtyard are no good. If someone asks us in Qingyi Tower to assassinate the prince, it will be too easy."
He turned around, walked out of the yard, and flew out of Prince Huai's Mansion.
And Ling Chan was already waiting outside the mansion.
"How is it?" Ling Chan asked.
Gong Lan took out the jade pendant and said, "I got it."
Ling Chan noticed this jade pendant when she met Xiao Yi in the palace. The jade pendant was made by the emperor, and it had the imperial mark and the word "Huai" on it, which could fully confirm Xiao Yi's identity.
This jade pendant can be used as evidence of Xiao Yi's collusion with Qingyi Tower, and it may also have other uses in the future.
"But...Miss, will Prince Huai really give us six thousand taels?" Gong Lan couldn't help but start to fantasize, "Six thousand taels is enough for our Qingyi Tower to use for a long time."
Ling Chan listened to her snickering voice and couldn't help but remind her, "Money can't be spent easily. You still have to find a way to make money."
"What do you mean by you? It's us." Gong Lan followed Ling Chan eagerly, "Miss, you are now the owner of Qingyi Tower."
"Someone come! Someone come! Someone come!" Xiao Yi's angry roar came from behind.
Gong Lan shrank her neck towards Ling Chan.
While Ling Chan was waiting for Gong Lan, she had already put the drone back into the space. It would take at least an hour for the guards to wake up.
"Miss, please think of a way to make Qingyi Tower earn money and make the lives of the sisters better." Gong Lan chased Ling Chan and asked.
Ling Chan was at a loss for words after hearing her question, and promised her that she would think about it carefully.
Now that I have taken over Qingyi Tower, I do have to consider the practical issue of money.
After returning to Ling Mansion, Ling Chan had a comfortable sleep.
Xiao Yi tossed and turned all night...
He had just set up his own government, so how could he have so much money? Besides, his mother had already given him a heads-up on the last expenditure.
This time it's six thousand taels... Let's not talk about whether he can come up with it. Even if he can, what if the Queen Mother finds out...
Why not just tell her directly? At worst, she'll scold me...
The next morning, Xiao Yi had an idea.
He decided to go to the palace and confess to his mother, asking her to find a solution for him.
At the Ling Mansion, Gong Lan went out and came back with breakfast.
"Miss, the kitchen is almost done. Gong Yu and I will go out to buy some food. We will cook in the small kitchen later."
"I've asked Lowe to bring the cooks we found earlier. They've been working in the big kitchen for a few days."
"Yeah." Ling Chan knew that the two cooks were also sisters from Qingyi Tower.
Gong Lan secretly told her, "Those two young cooks are very skilled."
Ling Chan nodded. "When you go out shopping, buy them some thick clothes and some thick quilts."
"Also, keep an eye on the food in the main kitchen."
After breakfast, Ling Chan stood up and said, "When Ling Rui comes back from court, go and remind him that today is the second day. If he doesn't send what I want by tomorrow, he will be sent to me."
"I'll go straight to the drum to report the incident."
"Okay." Gong Lan responded happily.
Aunt Qu drank her porridge and looked at the two of them. This time she didn't say anything.
Hongdou picked up the book basket and stuffed the remaining cakes into it.
"Go out and wait for me." Ling Chan said to Hongdou and Aunt Qu.
She hadn't done her makeup yet. Ever since Gong Lan and Gong Yu came to the Ling Mansion, they had been doing it.
Gong Lan had her hair tied up behind her. Ling Chan was bored sitting there, so she simply took out her surveillance glasses and started checking the surveillance footage.
The first place to visit is Prince Huai’s Palace.
She saw Xiao Yi hurried out the door, then switched to several scenes in the capital, tracking him all the way to the palace.
This time...is not the time for court.
Ling Chan simply cuts the scene to the Queen Mother's Palace...
It was not until Gong Lan helped her to dress up and put on her cloak that she saw Xiao Yi in the picture.
He is a good child and knows to look for his mother when something happens.
It’s obvious what he wants to do by visiting the Queen Mother at this time.
Ling Chan whispered to Gong Lan, "When you go out shopping..."
On this side, Ling Chan walked to the door and happened to meet Ruan Yiyu and Ling Yu who looked reluctant.
"Mom, I don't want to go. Yesterday..." Ling Yu stopped talking when he saw Ling Chan. He stared at Ling Chan with a stubborn look on his face.
When Ling Chan walked up to him, he shouted, "Ling Chan, why did you let someone steal our food?"
Ling Chan snorted coldly and prepared to walk away from him.
Who knew that this child was so ignorant that he actually stretched out his hand to block Ling Chan, "Ling Chan, you little bitch, this young master is talking to you, you..."
He held his head high, his face filled with anger and bitterness.
Ling Chan glanced at Ruan Yiyu...
Ruan Yiyu originally had no intention of stopping Ling Yu. Yesterday and this morning...they had eaten very simple food. She went to buy some, but the people around Ling Chan snatched it away. She was also angry.
Just now, I wanted to teach Ling Chan a lesson through my son's mouth.
But when Ling Chan gave her this look, she suddenly remembered Ling Chan's previous warning.
"Don't..." She immediately wanted to pull Ling Yu back.
But Ling Chan curled the corner of her mouth and the slap had already fallen.
Smack! Ling Yu was stunned. This slap was even louder than the last one, his cheek was even more numb, and it felt like something was falling out of his mouth...
He spat on the ground in disbelief, and a piece of tooth mixed with blood fell to the ground.
“Ah…Mother…”
