Chapter 172 Money Makes the World Go Round
Family is the bottom line...
He didn't expect a little kid to say such words, and he was deeply touched.
He values ​​friendship and is not afraid of anything, just like his temperament!
Qian Fanji was slightly stunned, and the scene of the day at the Immortal Drunk flashed through his mind. It seemed that from the moment he said the first sentence, the child's expression...
There was ridicule, disdain, and seemingly a hint of disappointment.
Family is her bottom line, and he touched her bottom line that day.
Eunuch Li also fell silent. A child who could say such words must be extraordinary. No wonder General Xiang loved him so much.
He looks so passionate and really resembles General Xiang when he was young.
Prime Minister Gao's screams continued to echo, Madam Gao screamed and fainted on the ground, and Gao Yunyue's voice was hoarse from crying.
One sound after another...
After more than thirty lashes, Prime Minister Gao had already fallen unconscious on the ground.
"Miss Xiang, everyone has fainted. You can just stop here. The emperor is still waiting in the palace." Eunuch Li was a little anxious.
"Six more whips to go, keep going."
"Miss Xiang, if you give her six lashes, she might not be able to stand it."
"His life or death depends on his luck. If the emperor wants to hold me accountable, I will bear the responsibility." Ye Qianning was merciless. If he couldn't survive, it would be better if he died. If she returned home one day later, the fourth grandmother would have died.
When the guard who was whipping him heard this, he raised his whip and brought it down again.
Eunuch Li sighed, the little kid was so stubborn.
Zhan Yi stepped forward and pulled Eunuch Li out of the door: "Eunuch, why did the Emperor summon me so late at night?"
"This...it's hard for us to say." said Eunuch Li.
"What was the emperor's expression at that time?"
Eunuch Li thought for a moment and shook his head: "How dare I guess what the emperor is thinking?"
Zhan Yi was not happy at all, but rather a little worried. Although the Zhan family was a royal family, they had not been in the official career and did not hold any official position, so they could not enter the palace at will.
"Eunuch Li, long time no see." Old Gu also followed out.
"Greetings, Mr. Gu." Eunuch Li bowed.
"Eunuch Li." Old Gu smiled and stuffed a huge night pearl into his hand.
Eunuch Li was startled and quickly declined: "No, no, no."
"Eunuch Li and I are still being polite. I remember when you first entered the palace, I often gave you candies. But many years have passed, and Eunuch Li has been promoted to a high position. Does he no longer look down on the things I gave him?"
"No, no, I always remember the kindness that Mr. Gu has shown me. I just think this is too expensive." Eunuch Li still declined.
"After all, I am your elder. You cannot refuse things given by your elders, otherwise it would be like you look down on me." Mr. Gu said seriously.
"Your servant thanks Mr. Gu."
Having said that, it would be unkind of Eunuch Li to refuse again.
"You're welcome. By the way, why did the emperor ask you to make this trip so late?" asked Old Gu.
"Alas, Miss Xiang brought her troops to attack the Prime Minister's residence in such a high-profile manner. By now, every household in Kyoto City must have known about it. Only the Emperor just learned about it, and he immediately sent a servant to invite the two of them to the palace to meet him."
"Why did you just find out?"
"It was because of an urgent report from the border. It seems that the barbarians attacked the border camp. I heard there were many casualties. The urgent report came back in the morning, eight hundred miles away. The emperor and General Xiang discussed it all day and finished the discussion late at night."
Upon hearing this, Gu Lao felt relieved that Xiang Minghou was also in the palace. He then asked, "When the emperor sent you here, was he happy or angry?"
Eunuch Li thought for a moment and said, "He doesn't seem too upset. But don't worry, Mr. Gu. The Emperor likes Miss Xiang very much. He mentioned her often the other day, saying that she is well-behaved and sensible."
