Chapter 93: Do not despise the poor young people, do not despise the poor middle-aged people, do not despise the poor old people, the dead are the greatest!
[The eldest prince is infertile, so the burden of the throne will have to fall on him! ]
[Hehehe, with the heir to the throne of the enemy in hand, what should the King of Northern Frontier do without asking him for? What should the King of Northern Frontier do?! ]
The light in Jiang Yingcheng's eyes flickered, as if there were countless golden coins in them.
Lu Yao couldn't help but turn around and glance at Emperor Mingze who was leisurely sipping tea in the corner.
He understood the reason, but who could tell him why the little princess, a princess in the prime of her life, would be so keen on spending money everywhere? !
Is it because you are not well fed and warmly clothed in the palace?
They in the East Factory are willing to raise a little princess!
【ah!!】
Jiang Yingcheng suddenly roared in his heart. Due to his excited emotions, the roar was particularly loud, which frightened Lu Yao so much that he almost jumped up on the spot.
What's wrong? What's wrong?
What new news have you uncovered?!
[The King of Northern Frontier was poisoned by the Second Prince, and he won't live for many years. When Northern Frontier is in chaos, father can take the opportunity to march straight into the hinterland! ]
"Click"——
The sound of porcelain colliding was crisp and pleasant. Jiang Yingcheng turned around and saw her beautiful father putting the teacup on the table. When he saw her turn around, he smiled warmly at her and said, "Come here, father."
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes lit up: "Chengcheng is here!"
【Your sweetheart is here!!】
[Oh, how can my father be so handsome! ]
She trotted over in ecstasy, stood in front of him and stretched out her hand, and sure enough, she received a firm but warm hug.
Jiang Yingcheng took the opportunity to give her handsome father a kiss on the face.
[mua~ There are a lot of super~ awesome things in the Northern Frontier. When Cheng Cheng gets a new coolie, let him write a note for Cheng Cheng to send to his father——Hmm? ]
Jiang Yingcheng suddenly glanced at Lu Yao slyly, and the shrewd look in his eyes almost made Lu Yao dizzy.
He had seen Yuan Liangping being tortured to the point of being in great pain, and his scalp immediately tightened. He began to think about how to get all the information and then send these two giant Buddhas away politely and gracefully.
Jiang Yanchuan raised his hand and stroked Jiang Yingcheng's head twice. The cool and smooth touch took away the last bit of warmth in his eyes.
The young guy couldn't see it, but he knew clearly that Su Hongzhen was awake from beginning to end, and when the young guy approached him, he even had a moment of shortness of breath.
He must have thought about escaping from here by kidnapping the young man, but later gave up the idea.
"Lu Yao," he gently opened his red lips, his voice devoid of any emotion, "wake him up."
Since you want to install it, just experience the whole process.
Lu Yao gave a look and immediately two Jinyiwei walked towards the large wooden barrel at the corner of the wall. They brought the barrel to Su Hongzhen seemingly effortlessly and poured water from the wooden basins directly over his head.
The braziers used for heating in the house were concentrated behind Emperor Mingze and the little prince. Su Hongzhen endured two of the braziers in the biting cold and finally "wore up slowly" before the third brazier was poured down.
"Don't," Su Hongzhen said weakly, "Don't drink it..."
His face was pale, his teeth were chattering, and when he raised his head he looked like a water ghost who had just climbed out of the river bank: "Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, is there some misunderstanding here? You——"
"Su Hongzhen," Jiang Yanchuan didn't want to waste time talking to him, "I will only give you one chance."
He looked straight into the man's eyes, which had suddenly calmed down. The coldness in his eyes was even colder than that of the man himself: "Tell me yourself, have you sent any news back to Northern Frontier in the past six months since you entered the court?"
One could hear a pin drop in the room.
Of course, this is for those who cannot hear the little princess's voice.
Jiang Yingcheng's flattery seemed to be free of charge, and it started non-stop from the moment Jiang Yanchuan called out Su Hongzhen's name.
[Ahhhhhh, how come my father knows everything! ]
[How can he be so awesome!] The voice was rhythmic and had a cheerful beat.
Su Hongzhen took off all his disguises. He knew that his usual sweet talk and flattery were just like a child's game in front of Jiang Yanchuan, so he just kept a cold look.
Jiang Yanchuan's eyes were filled with smile again.
He was quite satisfied with the man's awareness of current affairs.
"Since you don't want to pretend, why don't we just negotiate the terms directly."
This person would be the perfect chess piece to stir up trouble, and—
[Ask him for money! Ask him for the city!! Ask him for the three princesses of Northern Frontier!!]
"???"
He could understand the first two items, but why did the Third Princess of Northern Frontier do that?
Jiang Yingcheng was also very anxious: [This Third Princess will be a very powerful person in the future! Her medical skills are unparalleled in the world. If the King of Northern Frontier had not treated her and her daughter too harshly in the past few years, she would have been fully capable of saving the King of Northern Frontier! ]
「And, and, that──」
"What does your majesty want?"
Jiang Yingcheng's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by this voice. When Jiang Yanchuan raised his head and looked at Su Hongzhen, there was a hint of impatience in his eyes.
Su Hongzhen: “???”
Isn't that what you want to talk about?
He shook his wrist: "Since we want to cooperate, this thing can be..."
Jiang Yanchuan suddenly chuckled, with an inexplicable sarcasm in his tone: "The conditions I'm talking about are the conditions for releasing you."
Su Hongzhen was choked by his words.
Jiang Yingcheng suddenly started clapping.
[Father is awesome! Father is so mad at him! ]
Then, she suddenly seemed to remember something and whispered, "You still owe Aunt Xinran a lot of money."
She looked up at her handsome father, her round almond-shaped eyes full of curiosity: "Father, father, isn't this the legendary gigolo?!"
The next second, the cold voice of her beautiful father rang out above her head.
Jiang Yanchuan nodded lightly, very cooperative: "Of course."
"Wow! The second prince of Northern Frontier is actually a gigolo!"
Su Hongzhen: "..."
He has been surrounded by halos since he was a child, and those who interact with him are all extremely flattering. Even when he lost the battle with his brother, no one dared to say "no" to his face.
This was the first time in his life that he was ridiculed in front of others!
Su Hongzhen gritted his teeth and said, "I will return it."
The two who were still acting looked up at him together, and the two faces, one big and one small, showed the same expression of mockery.
The younger one even stretched out a hand directly in his direction, palm up, as if begging.
“…I have no money now.”
All his money was used to build connections. Otherwise, why would he bother to calculate the money for a woman's jewelry?
The little one uttered a "tsk".
There was a buzzing sound in Su Hongzhen's ears.
After being ridiculed so many times in a row, even a clay man would get angry!
"I just don't have money now. When I regain it——"
"Yeah, yeah, Chengcheng understands," Jiang Yingcheng nodded suddenly, his voice clear, "Don't look down on young people because they are poor!"
Su Hongzhen felt relieved, finally feeling a little bit of comfort from being understood. Just as he was about to say something else, he heard the childish voice continue speaking -
"Don't despise the poor in middle age, don't despise the poor in old age," Jiang Yingcheng shook his head, summarizing Su Hongzhen's life in advance, "The dead are the greatest!"
Su Hongzhen: "..."
Everyone present: "..."
