Chapter 1060: No News Yet
e:"The Northern Border Princess is truly joking. Our family isn't suited for the battlefield. We simply have a deep respect for soldiers, after all, they risk their lives to protect us common folk."It...“......”
When Zhou Zhiyao shouted so loudly, Zhao Li was taken aback.
Because Zhou Zhiyao, as his aide, never dared to speak to him in such a loud voice.
Zhou Zhiyao didn't care about the consequences of being punished by Zhao Li, after all, he had seen the mockery in Yun Siyan's eyes.
Let them continue, Your Highness. In the end, they will only humiliate themselves further.
Jian Zhao Li was staring blankly, so Zhou Zhiyao quickly explained, “Your Highness, this is a list of damaged items from the Princess’s room. The Northern Border Princess wants us to compensate for the losses.”
"!"
Zhao Li was stunned, "You... what did you say"
Without waiting for Zhou Zhiyao to reply Zhao Li, Yun Si smiled and said:
“Mr. Zhou is indeed intelligent. Our princess meant the same thing. She said that our household income is limited, and relying solely on the prince’s stipend is barely enough to make ends meet. Back then, in order to furnish the rooms for Princess Xuan Guo, we even had to pawn our princess’s dowry savings.”
"But now, the Sixth Princess's disregard for our王府’s belongings truly pains those who see it. Even our Prince finds it embarrassing to use things that have been damaged by her. Since these items have been broken and ruined by the Sixth Princess, we can only ask the Third Prince for compensation."
"! "
Zhao Ligao had been in high positions for so many years, he had never experienced a moment as suffocating as this.
He wanted to explode with rage, but thinking about this being the territory of King Beijang and that so many of his men had already been lost, he could only force his anger down.
Zhou Zhiyao also knew that the people of Beijang Royal Manor completely didn't put their Highness in their eyes, but he had no way to do anything about it. The King of Beijang was just so arrogant, and they had the capital for arrogance.
Finally, Zhao Li gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Zhou, pay the money."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Zhou Zhiyao hurriedly pulled out a silver note from his body. At this time, Zhao Li added, "I bought everything in this courtyard, give him the money."
"Yes."
Zhou Zhiyao carefully handed the 50,000 taels of silver to Yun Si, "I wonder if this is enough"
Yun Si was satisfied with the sight of these fifty thousand taels, "It should be about right. Our Princess Consort is a very generous and gracious person. Although this silver isn't enough, our Princess Consort said that since the Third Prince and Sixth Princess traveled such a long distance, we must show them proper hospitality. So for what's missing, it will be considered as our Princess Consort's contribution to entertaining you all."
"..."
Listen, once the silver is in hand, this person actually uses 'Your Highness' to address Zhao Li. It's really despicable how he behaves like a profiteer.
How could the illustrious Beijiang Royal Manor produce such people!
However, Yun Si didn't even bother to look at Zhao Li and Zhou Zhiyao's faces after finishing his words. He didn't care about their thoughts at all. Once the silver was in hand, everything else was fine.
Then, he bowed to Zhao Li and said, "If there is nothing else, Your Highness, I shall take my leave now."
Logically speaking, a normal person would wait for a response after saying something like that to see if there was anything else. But Yun Si turned around and left immediately after speaking, as if afraid that others didn't know his words were just polite formalities.
Before Yun Si could get very far, a furious roar echoed behind him, laced with the shattering sound of porcelain hitting the floor.
This commotion made Yun Si smirk. Their princess said, do whatever it takes to make Zhao Li grind his teeth in anger, just say and do whatever she wants. Looking at Zhao Li throwing things around, it seems he's truly angered.
……
When the Four Generals of the Cloud presented An Xue Tang with 50,000 taels of silver, she glanced at it lightly and chuckled, "Not bad, we've made a clean profit. After all, those things next door were originally furnished by the emperor."
Ning'er and the others also smiled.
"Although it's still unknown if this war will break out, once it does, there's bound to be a large number of refugees and displaced people. Take this money and stockpile food."
Yun Si nodded, "Yes."
"By the way, you should write to Yunhua and ask him to transport as much of the recently harvested food and clothing as possible to Yulan City."
Now the Red Nation is clamoring every day, it seems like a war with the Red Nation is inevitable.
As the city closest to Chiguo, Youlan City would be the first to suffer if the two countries went to war. At that time, they would help as much as they could.
"Yes."
After Yun Si went down, An Xue Tang looked at Ning'er, "Have there still been no messages from Zi Ling recently"
"Yes."
A touch of worry crossed An Xue Tang's face. Before any new offspring arrived, Mo Yun Chen shouldn't have gone as far as harming Zi Ling. However, Zi Ling was very close to A Jing, so Mo Yun Chen wouldn't let him off easy.
Ajing said she had already sent someone to bring Zilong over, but there was still no news. She didn't know if something had happened to Zilong or if he himself was unwilling to come to them.
……
At the same time, Mo Yunjing and Shi Yi had arrived at the place where they believed Luo Ye might have met with an accident. The blood trail indeed ended here.
Eleven knelt down and looked at the bloodstains on the ground. She quickly noticed that there was green powder next to the bloodstains.
He frowned, "My lord, we have a discovery."
Green powder, both Mo Yunjing and Shiyi were familiar with it. It was a poison concocted by An Xuetang. Once inhaled, this powdered poison would be fatal to anyone unless they possessed extraordinary martial arts skills.
This kind of medicine powder, even if it is not inhaled into the body, will be poisoned as long as it comes into contact with the human body.
Because this kind of medicinal powder is extremely poisonous, An Xue Tang let everyone use it as a life-saving antidote in an emergency.
It seems that the opponent used this powder during a fight, possibly when they were in crisis. However, the opponent was able to escape, which suggests that their martial arts skills must be incredibly profound.
To date, Mo Yunjing could only think of one person, his so-called royal uncle Yun Rui Shi.
Yunrui Shi might not be dead yet.
Thinking of this possibility, Mo Yunjing's face grew very serious. He suddenly remembered the batch of cavalry left behind by the previous emperor. Could Yun Rui be connected to that group of cavalry
If there is a connection, the palace...is in grave danger.
Eleven looked at Mo Yunjing and saw that he remained silent for a long time. She couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, are you thinking of someone"
"Yun Rui Shi, he's not dead."
Mo Yunjing used an affirmative sentence.
Eleven knew something about this Yun Rui Shi person, so when he heard that he might not be dead, his heart skipped a beat.
This Yun Rui not only has good martial arts skills, but he's also adept at setting up all kinds of strange formations. Back then, with so many of us, we accidentally walked into his formation and almost died inside. What's worse, we even started killing each other.
And then there was Yunliu, he and Ning'er were also trapped there for a long time.
So when Mo Yunjing suddenly mentioned this person, Eleven felt a strange fear in her heart. Cloud Rui was truly not someone easy to deal with, and if he hadn't died, things would become very tricky.
Mo Yunjing and Eleven carefully checked the alley. Besides the green medicinal powder, they found nothing else.
Just as the two were about to leave, Mo Yunjing suddenly stopped and his face darkened.
Before he could even ask, they saw their prince using light kung fu to disappear quickly from this alley.pursed her lips, "Your Highness, what if the Crown Princess...""Ignore her."An Xuetang's expression was cold. "This concubine only cares about the Prince's safety, what does this Crown Princess matter...
