"Surrender?" Shang Ruoyi looked at him and said, "Where do you get this from?"
"Little 그 has something important to report to you."
"Sir, we are just criminals, you don't have to be so polite."
"No, no, no." He waved his hands hurriedly: "How can you be a criminal? You are the legal wife of the prince of Dingguo Palace, and you are the prince's consort! How can the people of Dingguo Palace be criminals? If Tianshun was not supported by Dingguo Palace, and the prince and prince fought bravely on the battlefield, how could Tianshun be so peaceful? Now the sea is peaceful and the rivers are clear, isn't it all due to Dingguo Palace?"
Shang Ruoyi heard this without much joy on her face, and said calmly: "Now there is no Dingguo Palace, please be careful with your words."
She finally understood how the Dingguo Palace came to be today. These ministers attributed the stability of Tianshun to the Dingguo Palace all day long. Which emperor would feel comfortable hearing this?
If one's achievements are too great, he will be suspected by the emperor regardless of his loyalty.
How can I allow him to sleep soundly beside my couch?
Seeing her indifferent expression, Li 눁 did not continue the topic.
"What on earth are you doing here today, sir?"
"There is one thing I feel I must tell you." He whispered, "Master Zhao Gang, tell us to find a way to get the blueprints of your mansion, especially the young lady's courtyard, and mark the key points. Master Zhao also told us many times before I came here."
He Yunyi's room.
Shang Ruoyi's face darkened.
I thought Zhao Gang would be more restrained after what happened today, but I didn't expect him to still be so evil.
It seems he can't stay.
"Prince..." Seeing Shang Ruoyi's bad face, he quickly changed the topic: "Madam Shang, I wonder if Xiaoyou uses this as a gift for surrendering, what do you think?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Our He family is only trying to make a living in this place of exile. We are not against the imperial court. It is not a matter of surrendering. I will just pretend that I have not heard anything that the master said when he came here today."
Seeing that Shang Ruoyi didn't buy it, Li 눁 felt depressed.
He originally thought that with the news he got today, the He family would definitely welcome him very much. After all, he could contact Mr. Zhao, and with him by Mr. Zhao's side to pass on the news to them, they would be able to know the movements at any time.
For the He family, he is of great benefit and no harm, and can even be said to be a great help.
I never thought I would be treated like this.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Shang Ruoyi say to Shaoyao outside the door, "Give me ten taels of silver. It's really not easy for you to come here in such cold and snowy weather. You must take this hard-earned money."
When Li heard that there was silver, his anger instantly disappeared.
After leaving the He family, he weighed the silver in his hand, his eyes slightly narrowed, so what if he didn't accept himself? Can it only be exchanged for silver? Didn't you come here to exchange some silver?
After Li 눁 left, Shang Ruo ordered Shaoyao to bring paper and pen, and she drew a sketch.
"Miss, are you building a new house?" Shaoyao came closer and found it very familiar: "Isn't this the He Mansion?"
"That's right." She put down the wolf hair brush and looked at the drawing in front of her with satisfaction.
늀At this moment, the sound of rutting wheels was heard.
She knew it was He Jingheng who came without even looking up.
"How is it?" Shang Ruoyi said with a little pride on her face: "Do you want to see my portrait?"
He Jingheng took the blueprint and smiled: "I didn't expect that Madam has such a talent. This blueprint is so realistic that it can be mistaken for the real thing."
She put the drawings in an extremely hidden box in the study.
"Then why was Li 눁 sent out?"
"If I don't send him away, will I keep him for the New Year?" Shang Ruoyi curled her lips: "He will betray Zhao Gang today and me tomorrow. Why should I keep such a person by my side? Raising a tiger will only bring trouble, and it will eventually eat him."
He Jingheng nodded appreciatively, he knew that she was not an ordinary woman.
If it were someone else, Li's first reaction when he surrendered would be joy, thinking that he had an eyeliner around Zhao Gang, but he didn't know that this was the biggest hidden danger.
"We can't keep Zhao Gang. How dare he set his sights on Yunyi." Shang Ruoyi's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "He doesn't know what kind of person he is. He has shifty eyebrows and rat eyes. It's obvious that he is not a good guy. His daughter must be a few years older than Yunyi. He is really a toad wanting to eat swan meat. What a shameless dog."
Hearing her scolding so happily, He Jingheng didn't find it vulgar at all, but instead felt it was very cute and straightforward.
Peony stood aside, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.
Miss, in front of your husband, please at least act reserved. Why are you so bold?
After all, my son-in-law comes from a prominent family. What should I do if he doesn't like me?
Thinking of this, she set her eyes on He Jingheng.
I found that he was looking at his young lady with a doting look on his face.
That’s right, it was doting, that look made her a little dazed.
She is redundant.
Yunqi watched this scene from the doorway.
As expected of the master, he is different from others.
"Zhao Gang is a court official, although he is only a minor official, but if he is killed right after being sent here, it will definitely arouse suspicion." He Jingheng whispered: "Perhaps he needs to stay for a while."
"No, I've been wanting to go to the capital in the past few days. I thought he would be more restrained after what happened today, but I overestimated him." Shang Ruoyi's voice was filled with anger: "If I don't deal with him, I'm afraid I won't have a peaceful day when I go to the capital."
At this time, in the village in the county town, Ling Feng was drinking by himself.
Qian Jinnian stepped forward and whispered, "Master, it's getting late, it's time to rest."
"Haha, take a break?" Ling Feng smiled and said, "Did you forget what day today is?"
“This old slave dare not forget.” Old Qian laughed bitterly: “Today is the day when hundreds of people in the Ling family were slaughtered.” He put down the wine glass, with cold tears in his eyes, his back seemed to be bent by something and he couldn't straighten it up.
“From the ten-year-old man to the baby of a few months old, without exception, all were slaughtered. The Tianshun people were really too cruel.” Tears welled up in Qian Jinnian's eyes. His two-year-old granddaughter and only daughter were both killed in the massacre.
When they came back from outside, this was the scene they saw.
The entire Ling family was covered in blood, and the huge house was filled with the smell of blood.
Even now, this scene would appear in his dreams from time to time. Every time he dreamed of it, he would wake up from the dream in shock. After so many years, this was a nightmare that he could never get rid of.
Ling Feng took out a black token from his arms. There was a picture of a beast on it. On the back of the token, the words "Prince Ding's Palace" were clearly engraved. He picked it up in the corner of his father's room.
