Chapter 66 Loyalty

As soon as Xia Kang left the Prime Minister's mansion, he saw a palace man who often appeared in the imperial uterus walking towards him with dust in his hand.

"I want to see the prince."

The sharp voice made Xia Kang feel very uncomfortable, and of course, it was more because the other party was a person with the uterus: "Well." After Xia Kang responded with his nose, he strode away without squint. It was as if the palace man, whose status was second only to Liu Xi, was so stingy that he refused to say one more word.

Qian Zhao turned around and looked at Xia Kang's back: "Well, it's just a king, not a prince. This face is about to rise to the sky." Of course, Xia Kang didn't hear this, and he didn't have the courage to let Xia Kang hear it. So he can only speak quickly after Xia Kang is far away.

"Eunuch Qian, what brings you here?" In the hall, although Li Jingxiao smiled, he felt very uncomfortable. Qian Zhao is famous for not doing anything in the palace, but he can't offend such a powerful villain. Therefore, every time Li Jingluo saw Qian Zhao, he felt like seeing the plague god and wanted to hide far away.

"Well, what can we do? It's not running an errand for the prince." Qian looked up, and his attitude was not lull or hot.

Li Jingluo took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and put it in Qian Zhao's hand: "Fa father-in-law, your shoes are too old at night. It's time to replace them into a new pair." In fact, Qian Zhao's shoes are not old at all, but brand-new as if they were just bought.

"Your Excellency, you still know what's on our mind." Qian Zhao put the silver ticket handed to him by Li Jinglu into his sleeve with a smile, and then said solemnly, "Alas, everything is expensive these days, Prime Minister, you said that when I am a slave, I will have to spend some money in the palace, and I will rely on you more in the future."

"It should be, it should be." Li Jing nodded repeatedly, "My father-in-law just said that he was running errands for the prince. I don't know what it is?"

"Alas, Prime Minister Li, don't blame our family for not reminding you. Now the prince is angry. Take it easy. Well, the prince asked me to send a message that you should go to the uterus immediately.

Li Jingluo's heart skipped: "I'm going now, I'm going."

However, when Li Jinglue arrived at the empress uterus, he did not see Xia Yan's gloomy face as expected. Not only that, Li Jingluo even felt that Xia Yan was in a good mood. Did the prince, who inherited Xia Di's suspicious and suspicious character, suddenly change his temperament, or did he say that he was so angry that he looked at Li Jingluo with a little appreciation in his eyes?

"I don't know what the prince called Weichen to come?"

"Thank you for your hard work, money, and you still don't bring tea to the prime minister." Xia Yan waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency, your face doesn't seem to be very good. Are you not feeling well?"

"No, no." Li Jinglue really couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Xia Yan's gourd, so he had to keep repeating two words.

A seemingly fragrant fragrance slowly followed the enchanting pace of Dugulan. Dugulan, who was pregnant in July, did not become as ugly as most pregnant women, but added a little soft and charming. Li Jing is slightly expensive as the prime minister, and there are many beautiful women he has seen in his life, but he thinks that the beautiful women in the whole Xia country can't stand Dugulan's smile. Such a woman can only be described as evil.

"Lord Li is now the prime minister, and he will become King Kang's father-in-law later. I heard that the emperor's rewards in the past few days have been converted into silver, which is as much as three million taels. Thinking that the crown princess was only two million taels of silver in those years, I'm afraid that only Prime Minister Li can win this honor. Dugulan walked gently with soft eyes.

"Farely, the emperor's kindness."

"It's a good thing to get the emperor's love, but please don't forget who the Prime Minister really should support."

"Weichen is loyal to the prince."

Dugulan smiled and said, "It's good to be loyal. I heard that the prime minister's daughter doesn't seem to be willing to marry into the royal palace. I don't know why?"

Li Jing lowered his head slightly and looked helpless: "Ha ha, it's all Weichen who are not strict. This daughter's family always doesn't know much about her father."

"My daughter's family is ignorant, and you, as a father, should not be ignorant."

"Weichen is frightened."

"Now Li Rongrong is about to become a princess, so..." Dugulan's smile became stronger and stronger. At this time, Li Jing slightly felt that it was not a beautiful appearance at all, but a bloody mouth that would swallow people with bones and flesh.

"Please make it clear." Li Jing vaguely guessed what Du Gulan wanted to say next. After all, he could sit in the position of prime minister, and his mind could not be too slow.

"Your Excellency, do you have to make the words clear?"

"This..." Li Jing said silently in his heart: What a woman who cannibales without spitting bones.

"Do you think I am a witch who cannibals without spitting bones?"

Li Jing suddenly sweated coldly and quickly explained, "No, how could Weichen think so?"

"Oh?" Dugulan said, "I know that all of you think that this palace is a demon, but the word demon is very heavy. Can you understand what I mean?"

"Weichen vows to be loyal to the prince."

"Loyalty is not enough to just talk about it. Adults, you have to take practical actions." Dugulan took out a white letter from the pear blossom wooden cabinet not far away and handed it to Li Jinglue.

Li Jing looked at the white letter in his hand doubtfully: "Is this?"

Xia Yan said, "Take it apart and have a look."

The white letter contains a silver ticket of 100,000 taels and a knot: "Your Highness, this is, this is..."

Li Jinglue's voice was obviously a little trembling. Obviously, that trembling did not come from joy.

In politics full of unknown factors and intrigues, political funds often appear. However, it is absolutely impossible to meet the needs of huge politics alone. Therefore, wealthy businessmen will form alliances with powerful officials. In order to prove their loyalty to each other, officials will issue so-called knots to businessmen who provide political funds to them. With the knot, it means that both sides have become locusts on the same rope, and no one can leave the other. Generally speaking, even if the east window incident happens, as a court, it will only punish the court officials who take bribes, while the merchants who bribe will open one eye and close the other. Because businessmen can always seek a bigger umbrella at the moment before the east window incident, or use their wealth to open up all relationships.

"This is a knot book. I don't think adults will not recognize it." Xia Yan stood up and said with a smile, "Since the Prime Minister said that you are going to be loyal to the prince, I will not treat you badly. Every month, a silver ticket of 100,000 taels will be sent to the Prime Minister's house, but at the same time, you must sign a letter of cutting and... tell me everything about Lao San."

"But..."

Xia Yan's originally smiling face immediately became gloomy: "Isn't it possible that Prime Minister's loyalty is just what you said?"

"Weichen, Weichen is frightened."

For a long time, Li Jing felt as if he was in a big steamer. In the end, he signed the knot and left the uterus in a trance. When Li Jinglue left, a weak young man with a white fan came out from behind.

Jiang Mozhu raised the corners of his mouth and seemed to smile: "It seems that Prime Minister Li finally chose the prince."

"Thanks to Lord Jiang's wonderful plan." Xia Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip. "I didn't expect that there would be a so-called knot book. It seems that I really have to study hard in the future. However, with Lord Jiang on my side, even if Li Jing slightly turns to the third brother, what does the prince have to worry about? Ha..."

"You can't say that. When will I defect if I don't?" Jiang Mozhu's tone was as light as water, but his expression was extremely serious, which made people unable to tell whether he was joking or really would be like this.

"Rebellion?" Du Gulan said, "I don't know where Lord Jiang wants to defect. Among the many princes, only the prince and His Highness are qualified to inherit the throne. Is it possible that you want to defect to the seventh prince?"

Jiang Mozhu shook his head and said with a smile, "Women are women, and their eyes are always so short-sighted."

"You..."

"Weichen is not feeling well, so I will leave first." Jiang Mozhu closed the paper fan and glanced at Dugulan's bulging belly, "I guess you must have born a girl this time."

After saying that, Jiang Mozhu left the uterus with a smile.
