After Gu Hong said the last few words, his face looked extremely serious and he looked heartbroken.
"I... I'm just here to announce the emperor's decree. How can a servant like me know what the master sitting in the Golden Throne Hall is thinking?"
After saying that, he sighed seriously.
"We eunuchs were sent to the palace at a young age. We are rootless and helpless. Our masters have our own way. We dare not go west even if they say east! I also know that this time, Madam Gu saved millions of ordinary people."
When Gu Hong heard him say this, the expression on his face eased slightly.
As Eunuch Tian spoke, he observed Gu Hong's every move.
He has always been good at observing people's words and expressions, otherwise, he would not have made his way to where he is today in that cannibalistic palace and become the emperor's trusted eunuch!
"Oh? I didn't expect the angel to be so understanding! No wonder he has the trust of His Majesty!"
When Eunuch Tian heard Gu Hong say this, he showed an expression of flattery on his face!
"General Gu, thank you for your praise. I was merely expressing my inner thoughts. Madam Gu is a kindhearted person. The Emperor deserves to reward her with a fiefdom!"
"This general also thinks that what you said, Angel, makes a lot of sense! Shen Ningsi has done things that no woman in this world can do. These days, she has dragged her sick body everywhere to find food for the people to increase production so that they no longer suffer from hunger. I believe that the emperor will definitely understand the people's feelings! Listen to their voices!"
After listening to this, Eunuch Tian felt a little uneasy. He felt as if he had been tricked by Gu Hong!
Before he could figure it out, Gu Hong put another compliment on his head.
"It is a blessing for the people that His Majesty has someone as kind-hearted as you by his side!"
After hearing this, Eunuch Tian felt itchy again.
Shen Ningsi controlled the water, prayed for rain, and found food for the people to fill their stomachs. He will definitely be remembered by the people and his reputation will be passed down through the ages.
If he also played a certain role in this...
Thinking of this, he felt excited again.
"General Gu, I'm just a messenger, there are things I can't help with! Besides, your Majesty is a man of his word! Your Majesty has already made a decision, there's absolutely no room for change!"
"That's all right, Angel. Your imperial edict hasn't been passed down yet, has it? Why not set off early and return to the capital to tell His Majesty everything about this situation? I'm sure he'll change his mind!"
"From now on, Madam Gu will be more motivated to find other foods that can increase production. Angel, you have made an invaluable contribution!"
After Gu Hong finished speaking, he saw a hint of hesitation in Eunuch Tian's eyes.
He is a eunuch. What use is it even if he holds a high position in the palace now?
Being famous for all time is what they dream of, so who would give up such a good thing?
"this……"
Eunuch Tian hesitated.
Based on his understanding of the emperor, he knew that if he went back and made some minor modifications, the emperor might really change his mind.
After all, a county lord’s fiefdom is just a small one, and the emperor has nothing to worry about.
Anyway, all the land under heaven belongs to the king. If he does this, not only will Madam Gu be grateful and find more food to increase production, but he will also gain the favor of the people of the world!
Looking at him like this, Gu Hong knew that the matter was halfway to success.
"Angel, my wife has been sulking for a while now, all because of my leaving without saying goodbye! If His Majesty could change his mind and reward her with a fiefdom, perhaps she would be happy. I would be very grateful!"
"I didn't expect that General Gu cares so much about Madam Gu. If that's the case, I'm willing to go back and give it a try!"
Eunuch Tian showed a determined expression on his face.
He was really excited. If he could accomplish this task, it seemed that Gu Hong owed him a favor.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, angel! Let's rest here for a day. I, the general, will also do my best to be a good host and rush back tomorrow!"
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, General Gu."
Eunuch Tian said this with a smile, and there was no displeasure in his eyes.
When Gu Hong heard him say this, he knew that this matter was basically successful in all likelihood.
The two chatted for a while, then found an excuse to leave.
When he returned to the room, he thought Shen Ningsi had rested, but he didn't expect that she had been leaning on the bed waiting for him to come back.
"General Gu, what did the angels say?"
"As long as this general takes action, he will surely achieve success!" Gu Hong said with a proud look on his face.
"Then this time, I would like to thank General Gu!"
Shen Ningsi was in a very good mood at the moment. Looking at Gu Hong, she felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye than usual.
Although the emperor rewarded her with a thousand acres of fertile land, it was nothing compared to the fiefdom.
Only in her own fiefdom could she show her power. As long as she paid taxes to the court on time every year, she would not have to worry about anyone pointing fingers at her.
Her ambition is huge. She not only wants the people to have enough to eat, but also wants them to eat well!
At least, every household can eat three dishes and one soup, live a prosperous life, and have no worries about food and clothing!
"Why? Do you think you can get rid of me just by saying thank you?"
Gu Hong looked at the calm expression on Shen Ningsi's face, and suddenly felt a little frustrated.
"Of course not. General, I will always remember your kindness and generosity. I only wish to repay you in my next life by working like a slave!"
Shen Ningsi said indifferently, her words had made it very clear that Gu Hong should not use this matter to threaten her.
After hearing this, Gu Hong was furious again. He always felt that Shen Ningsi was just perfunctory to him!
Is it so difficult to make this woman admit how good I am to her?
"Next life? Shen Ningsi, this general wants more than just the next life. In this life, the next life, and the next life... you will be my woman for all eternity! Be the mother of my child!"
Gu Hong said with certainty.
Anyone who dares to take advantage of Shen Ningsi will not be spared!
Shen Ningsi looked at Gu Hong with a serious face, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
She hurriedly adjusted her mood so as not to let him see any flaws.
"By the way, General, please help me with something!"
