Chapter 86: How many levels of pagoda can be built to save the eagle's life?



"Grandma." Jing Shenghan bowed and explained everything that happened at the ceremony in detail.

There's no need to be nervous.

Although everyone knew they were powerful, they weren't so foolish as to fail to guess the old emperor's intentions.

[The old emperor has seen everything Prime Minister Lin has done in recent years. Otherwise, why would he be so wary of the Lin family and deliberately ignore the Empress?]

[He even pretended to bring a beautiful peasant woman into the palace, using the excuse that the queen had fallen out of favor.]

The old emperor probably used the baby as an excuse because he saw Empress Lin give the longevity lock to my mother and was worried that Empress Lin was colluding with our general's mansion, so he accelerated the pace of dealing with Prime Minister Lin.

Using me is a warning to our General's Office not to overreach. And without me, the old emperor would still deal with Prime Minister Lin.

[However, if the Crown Prince rebels, he will surely fail. If the General's Office handles this properly, victory can still be achieved.]

Jing Qiaoqiao complained and stretched lazily.

Just arrived in mother's arms.

Cao Liu hurried in and lowered his voice: "Master, Second Master, someone is coming from the palace."

Everyone looked at each other, wondering who the person coming from the palace was.

It turned out to be a maid with good martial arts skills.

It is obvious that he was not sent by His Majesty.

How could anyone from the palace climb over the wall to see someone in the courtyard?

In the yard.

"Who are you?"

The maid fell to her knees and took out the Queen's badge: "Madam, I am Bizhu, the maidservant beside the Queen."

"The Queen?"

When the old lady heard this, she didn't want to draw fire, so she said directly, "You can go, we can pretend that you have never been here."

"Madam, the Queen has instructed me to deliver this letter to you."

The maidservant is not good at speaking, there is really nothing we can do.

He quickly took out a letter and handed it over with both hands.

Nephew Jing Shenghan hesitated for a moment and walked down the stairs.

He took the envelope from the maid.

Reach out and open it.

Although Jing Qiaoqiao tried hard to open her eyes and read carefully, the elegant handwriting still stumped her as a college student.

Bah, no blame.

She took calligraphy classes in college but was very inattentive.

【Forget it, I won’t watch it. 】

[Baby is smart, he can guess it. The prince must be planning a rebellion and needs the General's Mansion's help.]

[Maybe he'll even swear to grant our General's Mansion some kind of amnesty or reward.]

Jing Shenghan scanned the large characters for a few seconds.

After reading it, he looked at Jing Qiaoqiao with admiration.

The content of the letter is similar to what my aunt summarized.

The old lady also heard her daughter's thoughts. She took the letter and deliberately murmured, "Should we accept it or not?"

[Of course I'll take it. Why would I want to go against a madman?]

[The Crown Prince won't live long anyway, so he can rebel if he wants, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble for the General's Mansion.]

[Besides, Empress Lin is a very cunning person. She would definitely spread the news that she sent people to the General's Mansion.]

Since the old emperor would be suspicious anyway, I might as well just play both sides off and make a fool of them.

The old lady thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Just a glance at Jing Qiaoqiao in her arms, and she suddenly had an idea: "Go back and tell your queen that I have agreed to her matter, but... prepare a box of longevity locks."

Jing Qiaoqiao opened her mouth.

At this time, I didn't forget to make some money to satisfy her greed for money.

In the second half of the night, heavy snow fell.

It was white for several days.

The old lady dressed Jing Qiaoqiao in new clothes early in the morning and took the younger generations to visit relatives.

Every time I go to a house, someone will give me a red envelope.

The New Year’s gift is a golden longevity lock.

They are all big.

Jing Qiaoqiao: I love it so much

In the evening, Jing Qiaoqiao was at her mother's place.

The old lady wanted to please her daughter.

A box filled with longevity locks was placed in front of the daughter, and on the other side was a spiritual spring that melted as soon as it entered the mouth.

Qiaoqiao was tired of counting and was hungry, so she grabbed the pastries with her little hands and fed them into her mouth.

"There's an assassin!"

The sound outside broke the silence.

The old lady took the two swords and ran out the door.

Unexpectedly, an eagle flapped its wings and landed under the table where the cakes were placed.

【Isn’t it hungry?】

[Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. So, if I save an eagle's life, how many stories of pagoda can I build?]

【Forget it, I'll give you one piece. 】

The injured eagle looked at the pastry that fell in front of its mouth and couldn't help but take a bite.

Afterwards, its pupils suddenly widened...
