King’s Landing: The Proud Empress

Chapter 356: no compromise for silver

  Chapter 356 For silver without breaking the means

   Nangong Lingyan raised his head, his cold eyes scanned the crowd present, and in an instant, most of the gazes on him were reduced, leaving only a few probing gazes.

   Among them is Master Ye who is not afraid of anything.

  Master Ye looked at Nangong Lingyan with a smile, and said without euphemism, "General Nangong, did you have a private relationship with His Majesty before?"

  Privately?

  Nangong Lingyan frowned slightly, these words sounded like something shameful had happened between him and that woman in private...

   His eyes glanced at Mr. Ye coldly, but how could Mr. Ye, who has been in the officialdom all year round, be so easily suppressed?

  Although the little heart trembled unavoidably, he soon smiled again, and stared closely at Nangong Lingyan with a pair of probing eyes.

   She didn't dare to ask Junli, but she didn't have so many scruples about Nangong Lingyan.

  Able to hear about Junli's private affairs...

  Although it is not necessarily true, it is worth risking your life to find out.

  Nangong Lingyan finally ignored her, turned his head lightly, and very calmly tossed the wine glass in his hand, and threw it into Master Ye's arms accurately.

   Blinked slightly, Mr. Ye didn't understand why.

  Nangong Lingyan also ignored her, sitting there, as if isolated from the outside world, with his eyes closed, making people wonder what he was thinking.

  Seeing this, Lord Ye curled his lips and didn't say anything more. Throwing the wine glass in his hand, the wine glass made of white jade suddenly drew a semicircular arc, flew out from the railing of the ninety-ninth floor, and fell straight down.

  Jun Li paused for a while when he was clinging to the wine glass, and then raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw an object falling down.

   I hope no one passes by at this time, otherwise...

  Junli can imagine that if someone passes by below, unless it is a person with extremely high martial arts and quick reaction. Otherwise, you will definitely end up with a broken brain.

  What Junli didn't expect at this time was that the wine glass that just dropped really hit someone. And it fell on a person who, although inconspicuous, turned the situation around tonight from that very moment.

  Seeing the gazes cast by everyone, Lord Ye smiled and said, "My hands slipped for a while, hehe..."

  This reason, I am afraid that none of the people present will believe it.

  Jun Li raised his eyebrows, and stared at Master Ye with a half-smile, until he felt uncomfortable looking at her, then he looked back at Huang Zhanwu and Qin Muyuan.

   "You two haven't said yet, when will you send the five million taels of silver?"

  After the words fell, it was no surprise to see the faces of the two of them froze at the same time, and a guilty conscience flashed in their eyes.

  Cooked his lips, and smiled slightly, "By the way, I remember there are broken dishes. How do you calculate... well, it will cost one million taels, and the total will be six million taels. Don't forget the two of you."

  Looking at the two people who were about to faint again, Junli said to Eunuch Yu, "Eunuch Yu, hurry up and eat the medicine paste with His Highness the Empress Dowager and the First Prince. Looking at these two people, it seems that their illness has relapsed."

Hearing this, the two of them who originally planned to repeat their old tricks suddenly regained their spirits, stood upright, and quickly waved their hands at Junli, "No need, I'm fine." "No need, my prince is fine. "

  Speaking very tacitly, the two glared at each other and turned their heads, like two awkward children.

  Seeing this, Junli smiled lowly, and signaled Eunuch Yu to put away the so-called "medicine mud", and then said unhurriedly, "Six million taels is not a small amount."

  Hearing this, the two nodded instantly, like chickens pecking at rice.

  The ministers present all listened quietly, secretly guessing what Jun Li would do next.

   "Well, it seems that you can't afford the six million taels, how about..."

   Before Jun Li could finish talking, he was interrupted by the two tentatively, "Aren't we going to pay it back?"

   "Chi—" Jun Li couldn't help but sneered, resisting the urge to give the two of them a big roll of their eyes, and said, "Not paying back?"

  The two nodded quickly, with hope in their eyes.

  The next second, Jun Li's words shattered the hopes of the two, "Do you think it's possible?"

  In an instant, the two of them were like deflated balls.

  Huang Zhanwu looked at her sadly, while Qin Muyuan's face was stiff.

   "But... I can't afford so much money at one time." Huang Zhanwu frowned.

  Jun Li waved his hand lightly, "Exotic treasures are also fine."

  Hearing this, Huang Zhanwu's face twitched fiercely, rare treasure? Wouldn't that make her more uncomfortable than killing her!

   "Hehe, there are no rare treasures in this palace, and some are just scraps of iron. I wonder if His Majesty will accept it?" Huang Zhanwu raised her eyebrows, but she didn't believe that she would always lose to her?

  A glint of light flashed in Junli's eyes, what did he take her for, a trash collector?

"His Royal Highness, you are joking. Her Royal Highness's things are worth as much as a city, so how can they be broken copper?" Jun Li smiled meaningfully, and his gaze towards Huang Zhanwu became complicated and difficult to understand. .

  Hearing this, Huang Zhanwu was puzzled, followed Junli's gaze, but found a piece of jade flute made of high-quality suet jade protruding from his sleeve.

  Seeing this, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Huang Zhanwu's eyes, and he wanted to cover Yuxiao, but when he saw Junli's smiling gaze, all his movements stopped there, feeling like he was being seen through.

  He simply took out the jade flute in his sleeve, and said openly, "Is your majesty talking about this?"

Before Junli could reply, Huang Zhanwu continued, "This jade flute is the only relic left to me by my father. I always wear it on my body. Every time I see it, it's like seeing Just like my father and queen..."

   Speaking of this, she didn't believe that Junli dared to hit Yuxiao on her in public!

   You must know that it took her a lot of effort to withhold this jade flute from this birthday gift. If Jun Li cheated her, she wouldn't even have the place to cry.

  So use the reason Junli just used to see what else she can do!

  Huang Zhanwu thought about it proudly, but she ignored Junli's enthusiasm for money now.

  So, the jade flute that Huang Zhanwu secretly withheld was destined to return to Junli tonight.

   "Really?" Junli was noncommittal, and from the surprise in the eyes of the ministers around Huang Zhanwu, Junli knew that Huang Zhanwu's words were unreliable!

  Huang Zhanwu nodded, but saw a gleam in Junli's eyes, wondering what she was thinking again.

  At the moment, I was vigilant in my heart, but I heard Junli say, "If this is the case, how can this emperor take people's favor?"

  Hearing this, a smile appeared in Huang Zhanwu's eyes, but soon, she couldn't laugh anymore.
