Chapter 283 Parting Up

Jiang Ting talked to King Jing about the conditions: "If the prince can give me money, I can send Liu Xu's family to take refuge in the royal palace."

King Jing stared at Jiang Ting with a gloomy face and couldn't wait to tear her into pieces. But now he is at a disadvantage. No matter how deep the resentment is, he can only endure it. However, he can't attack her, which doesn't mean that he can't satirize her innocence and ignorance: "Jiang, do you think that making that alcohol can help the Lingnan Army win? What if you can reduce the casualty rate of soldiers? I'm afraid Lingnan will fall without waiting for your medicine to be sent to the battlefield.

Jiang Ting didn't care how King Jing knew what she was going to do, and ignored the sarcasm in his words. She just looked at him calmly and replied, "I only do what I do. As for what happens in the future, I can't care. Lord, do you agree to the money?

King Jing suddenly smiled, but the smile looked a little ferocious: "How much do you want?"

"300,000 taels of silver." Jiang Ting has already made an estimate in her heart. She thinks that 300,000 taels should support her to earn enough working capital. After all, she doesn't intend to lose money all the time. In ancient and modern times, alcohol is a very profitable industry. As long as the situation stabilizes, she can use steamed wine to make money. And if Lingnan really fell one day, she would naturally finish playing with Liu Yao. She doesn't have to think about it in the long run. Therefore, 300,000 taels of start-up capital should be enough.

"300,000 taels..." Prince Jing said meaningfully, "I can give it to you. However, you have to promise that when this turmoil is over, you will bring them back intact.

"Yes." Jiang Ting nodded: "As long as I am still alive, I will definitely ensure their safety; I will also pick them up in the future. However, in exchange, the prince was asked to pass the throne to Liu Yao first. Also, with these 300,000 taels, I hope the prince will not use the property of the royal palace.

"Well, you have a lot to worry about." King Jing snorted coldly and waved his hand to drive people away: "You'd better send everyone away first and come back to me to get the money."

Jiang Ting nodded, turned around and left without saying a word.

"Jiang, aren't you afraid that I will repent afterwards?" King Jing was surprised by Jiang Ting's straightforwardness. He thought she was a tough character. But now what she did puzzled him again. She should know very well that if she doesn't have Liu Xu as a hostage, he doesn't have to worry about it at all. And once she released Liu Xu from the house, he had 100 ways to get people back. How could he really believe her promise?

After hearing this, Jiang Ting stopped and looked back at King Jing and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't believe in my promise, you can let someone answer outside. It's good if you want to hide them anywhere in the future. I won't interfere. In that case, it would save my manpower. As for whether you will go back on your word... Your Highness, do you think I'm really a kind-hearted fool?"

King Jing narrowed his eyes and stared at her, nodded slowly and said, "Just follow what you said. As long as you send Xuer out, I will give you 300,000 taels of silver!"

Jiang Ting turned around and saluted: "Thank you, prince."

##############################

After these days of recuperation, Liu Yao's injury has improved greatly. The wound has completely scarred, as long as you avoid cracking again.

Liu Yao held a military book in one hand and stared at his newly made sand table on the table. Several hills are piled up in the sand table, simulating the general topography of Lingnan; there are also some places with many small flags of different colors; obviously, he is deduging the war according to the contents of the military book.

When Jiang Ting came in, she saw such a situation. Jiang Ting still knows more or less about the art of war. Even if her father did not have special training at the beginning, she learned a lot. Moreover, in the years when she first arrived in the capital, she went to the study almost every day, and she had read almost all the books stored in Zhenbei Houfu. Anyone who knows her well knows that she loves reading very much. That's why my father shipped so many books as a dowry for her.

"Your injury is not good. Don't be too tired." Jiang Ting went over and took the military book from Liu Yao's hand and exchanged it with a cup of ginseng tea.

Liu Yao withdrew his eyes staring at the sand table, took a seng tea obediently, looked up at Jiang Ting and smiled, "I'm going to become a pig if I don't find anything else to do now. Are you coming to accompany me now to finish the matter?

Jiang Ting nodded with a smile and sat next to him.

"Don't you ask me what I'm busy with?"

Liu Yao looked at her with tender eyes and shook his head and said, "Don't ask, you will do something so carefully. It must be for me. Ting'er, thank you for taking care of me so much."

Jiang Ting laughed when she heard the words and couldn't help looking at him: "The words are quite slippery."

She arranged for Geng Shan to do almost everything. How could he not know? She sighed gently and said to Liu Yao, "I promised that the prince would also send Liu Xu out."

"Why?" Liu Yao was a little surprised.

"Because I asked him for 300,000 taels of silver." Jiang Ting's eyes flashed with pride: "Steaming wine is a matter of burning money. I don't have that much money and don't want to use your money, so I have to ask him for it. Anyway, we work so hard to keep his Jingwang Mansion. What if he doesn't have any blood?"

"What's good!" Liu Yao nodded in favor and narrowed his eyes and said, "He has controlled his mother's dowry industry over the years and has long known how much money he has made. Humph, he still wants to leave those things to those two idiots. It's really despicable and shameless.

"Hasn't the princess's dowry been taken back?" Jiang Ting asked in surprise.

"I'm still alive. Of course, my mother's dowry is still in the royal palace." Liu Yao shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. When the former princess passed away, she gave him the seal. But later, he was coaxed by the shameless villain in a few words...

Jiang Ting didn't want him to remember the sad past, so she said, "In this case, I will come to him for the seal of the princess!"

With that, Jiang Ting got up and went to Jing Ruitang to talk to Prince Jing again. Anyway, Liu Xu hasn't sent him off yet, and she still relies on negotiating terms with him.

At this time, Chuntao ran in from the outside in a panic and reported, "Master, Princess, there seems to be a mess in Jing Ruitang."

Jiang Ting and Liu Yao's faces sank and asked together, "What's the matter?"

"The girl who came to send a message said that it was the old ladies of the fourth and third rooms who suddenly rushed into the prince's room and were making a quarrel about separation." Chuntao is so angry that she wants to stamp her feet. The imperial concubine made people stare at Beiyuan so closely, but she still couldn't shut them up. What on earth are those people thinking? Even her girl knows that the royal palace can't be chaotic at present.
