Jun Chengyi felt quite guilty, but the emperor's words still made him think. Maybe what the mother-in-law said was reasonable. If the mother-in-law became a noble concubine, he would also be as noble as his mother.
It's hard to say that mother and son can really complete each other.
A prince who cannot become an emperor can only sit back and wait to die. Look at King Hao. When the father is in need, he uses it. When he doesn't, he gives some rewards and becomes an idle prince again.
Thinking of this, he replied more carefully:
"Back to my father, my mother and concubine have been teaching my children and ministers since they were young about what it means to be a monarch, subject and father. My mother and concubine said that my father is first and foremost the emperor of Yunxiao Kingdom, and secondly, he is the father of his children and ministers."
The emperor didn't know whether these words really came from the mouth of Concubine Rong, but how could he not be moved when he heard these words from the third prince? Even if it was half true and half false, he felt very happy in his heart.
He didn't get the absolute authority from Jun Lingyun, but he found satisfaction from the third prince.
The emperor and the third prince performed the "father is kind and son is filial", and Jun Lingyun, who was dissatisfied by the emperor, was not idle either.
He walked into a teahouse surrounded by green bamboos. The environment was quiet and pleasant, but unfortunately, the people in front of him were not very pleasing to the eye.
"If I remember correctly, my father asked Prince Dongfang not to wander around."
"Prince Jun, maybe he is not well-informed enough. Just now, Emperor Yunxiao has lifted his doubts about the little king. The little king is already innocent and a distinguished guest of the Yunxiao Kingdom."
Dongfang Muze's evil smile made Jun Lingyun want to punch him every time he saw it.
Thinking that he wouldn't be able to jump around for much longer, I felt more comfortable. I sat down opposite him.
"The border between our two countries is still tense. I think the two of us are not in a relationship where we can sit down and drink tea."
Jun Lingyun is not in a hurry. After all, Dongfang Muze will not really take three cities to get engaged to Wantao. The one who should be anxious now should be Dongfang Muze.
Dongfang Muze didn't mind Jun Lingyun's rudeness and instead poured him a cup of tea.
"The world is so unpredictable. Prince Jun didn't want to drink tea with me, so he sat across from me, didn't he? So, don't talk too much. When our two countries make peace, we will be friends."
"Is it possible that Prince Dongfang came to me to drink tea just to talk?"
Jun Lingyun had no interest in chatting with him, but he also didn't want to lose the initiative.
"Prince Jun is impatient, so the little king will tell you straight away. Aunt Liu and Chu Xueer in the residence of your general protecting the country are from our Dongyi country. I believe that Prince Jun has also found out."
Dongfang Muze took a sip of tea before continuing:
"If Prince Jun wants the people to return to their original owners, Xiao Wang will take them back to the country immediately. He will not cause any more trouble to Prince Jun."
"It seems that their identities are not simple to allow the majestic prince to come to a foreign country to pick them up in person."
Jun Lingyun pretended not to know, wanting to see how Dongfang Muze would perform.
Dongfang Muze raised his eyes and looked at Jun Lingyun.
"Prince Jun, why should you ask knowingly? That Aunt Liu, who was originally Liu, alias Liu, is the only daughter of General Liu, the founding general of our Dongyi Kingdom. General Liu died for the country, and his only blood was left outside. If Jun
Your Majesty, I am sure you will also feel uncomfortable with this."
Jun Lingyun savored those two words: Liu, Liu!
What a good plan. If Xi'er hadn't had an unexpected encounter, he would probably have believed most of it based on the last name alone.
It seems that Concubine Dan had already taken everything into consideration when she started planning more than ten years ago.
This courage to take a risk and careful thinking, if put on the right path, might be able to achieve a career that will not be outdone by women. It is a pity that I went astray and provoked the people I shouldn't have provoked.
"If I tell my father about this matter, will Prince Dongfang still be able to defend your three cities?"
Dongfang Muze did not realize that he was threatened, but laughed out loud.
"Xiao Wang believes that Prince Jun will not do this, because Xiao Wang is more interested in Miss Chu in her prime than Princess Wantao, who has not yet had hair extensions."
"Bang!"
Jun Lingyun slapped the cold light sword on the table, causing the tea in the cup to rise and fall again.
"If you still want to get out of Yunxiao Kingdom alive, keep your mouth shut."
Seeing that Jun Lingyun was really angry, Dongfang Muze didn't want to talk the matter out. He put away his ungrateful face.
"Prince Jun, please calm down. You know what I want most. Aunt Liu and Chu Xue'er are of little use if you keep them in your hands. It's better to just be a favor."
"A white wolf with empty hands, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"
Even if Jun Lingyun had decided to listen to Chu Yunxi and release the person first, he would not be happy if Dongfang Muze was not allowed to pay some interest.
Seeing that Dongfang Muze finally got to the point, he leaned forward slightly and said seriously:
"The little king is willing to redeem me with one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Jun Lingyun tapped her fingers on the table.
"You have also seen that it costs fifty thousand taels of silver for me to buy a maid."
Dongfang Muze choked, and finally realized what it meant to live for one's own fault. That day, he had been entrusted with the money for Miss Xiao's selling herself. But Jun Lingyun brought it here to make excuses. He was made to eat Coptis chinensis while he was mute.
.
Redeeming the body of a noble girl for the same price as a slave is a good idea but not a good idea. Dongfang Muze clenched his fists.
"Two hundred thousand taels."
Jun Lingyun touched the jade ring on her finger.
"I'm very confused. Is the layout of the capital city of my Yunxiao Kingdom valuable, or is it the two noble ladies of the Dongyi Kingdom that are valuable?"
Dongfang Muze rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart. This Jun Lingyun really held a grudge and defended his shortcomings as rumored. If he couldn't pass this test, it would most likely be a life-and-death situation.
"Three hundred thousand taels!"
"Five hundred thousand taels! I'll give you five days to raise the money, otherwise, I can't guarantee whether what you bring back is a living person or a corpse!"
Dongfang Muze clenched his teeth, and after a few breaths, he managed to squeeze out a sentence:
"In these five days, you must ensure that they are intact."
Du Dao Lord Ling Yun is uncertain, and if it really offends him, it may not be something that can be solved with five hundred thousand taels. He will take the person back first, and then slowly settle the matter with Yunxiao Kingdom in the future.
"good!"
Jun Lingyun agreed wholeheartedly. As for the previous incident, because Concubine Dan made Chu Yunxi faint with anger, his physical punishment was not within the five-day agreement.
"Five days from now, I will give you two hours to rescue people and escape. After two hours, I will send people to hunt them down, each according to his or her ability."
Dongfang Muze had seen Jun Lingyun's shamelessness. He spent five hundred thousand taels and only bought two hours of running time?
"Prince Jun, is this going too far?"
"Otherwise, Prince Dongfang can go directly to negotiate with my father!"
Jun Lingyun was confident that his father was determined to win the three cities of Dongyi Kingdom, and Dongfang Muze was not unaware of them.
Seeing him staring blankly and having nothing to say, Jun Lingyun stood up with his cold light sword.
"Prince Dongfang will find an excuse to avoid the birthday party of the imperial sister the day after tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the Zhuxuan Tea Room in a good mood, leaving Dongfang Muze alone to squeeze the cup frantically.
Five hundred thousand taels. Even though he is a prince, he cannot always get so much money.
