Hearing this, Fang Chen was a little confused, and quickly realized that the other party could actually get him out of the harem, so his power in the palace would definitely not be small.
If you would say such words, either because of your talent or because you are now appreciated by Her Majesty the Empress and the Empress.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen calmed down and pretended to be stupid: "I don't understand what you mean."
"Master Fang is such a smart person, why do you still pretend to be stupid?"
The man in white with his back to him chuckled: "The Xijin Empire is willing to exchange three million taels of silver and one hundred thousand gold for Master Fang every year. If this spreads out, I'm afraid it will cause shock in the world."
"What about you? Can you give me so much money?" Fang Chen smiled even when he was in danger.
The man in white said helplessly: "Of course I'm not so wealthy. That's all."
"But what?" Fang Chen frowned.
The man in white sneered: "I think Mr. Fang's life is valuable now, but I may not be sure about it the next moment."
"Threaten me?" Fang Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Man in white: "Just stating the facts."
"That's the truth."
Fang Chen suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart. He had to bow his head under the eaves, and he was talking about now.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Tell me what you want me to do."
"I just said Master Fang is a smart man."
The man in white smiled: "Master Fang is now your Majesty's favorite. We want to know everything about your Majesty in the harem."
Fang Chen sneered: "You can get me out of the harem, so you shouldn't need me for such a trivial matter, right?"
The man in white said calmly: "Master Fang is wrong. The water in this harem is deep, and we are just fish in it. It is already a very risky move to invite Master Fang to come out today."
"Your Majesty is neither deaf nor blind, and if something goes wrong, you will end up with your head on the ground."
Fang Chen understood: "So you want me to become your spy."
"Your Majesty is smart."
The man in white tapped his fingers on the table and said, "With Master Fang's current power in the harem and his great achievements just now, Your Majesty has always cherished talents and will not kill you."
"As long as Mr. Fang obeys your orders, I guarantee that my father-in-law will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future!"
Fang Chen smiled and said, "Can I refuse?"
"Obviously not." The man in white also smiled.
He was very satisfied with Fang Chen's current calm and unhurried momentum. If he panicked and lost control at the slightest danger, then he really didn't want to use this kind of person.
Easily exposed.
Fang Chen said: "How to contact me?"
"Master Fang only needs to put the message under the second stone pillar in front of Fengyi Hall, and someone will naturally pick it up."
Fang Chen asked again: "Is it that simple?"
"Of course. In order to ensure Mr. Fang's safety, we must avoid personal contact. His Majesty never shows mercy when he kills people."
The man in white clicked his tongue: "I don't want to hear the news of my father-in-law's death one day."
"That's very thoughtful." Fang Chen sneered.
The other party is just afraid that if something happens to them, they will be harmed.
Fang Chen added: "Now that we've talked about what to do, it's time to talk about rewards. You can't let me take the risk of beheading, but I won't get any benefits, right?"
The man in white said: "Of course it won't happen. Master Fang can just deliver the news on the first and fifteenth day of every month. Then you will naturally get the reward you want, sir."
"Deal!" Fang Chen agreed immediately.
Now it was the man in white's turn to be suspicious: "My father-in-law agreed so easily."
"Man perishes for money, and birds perish for food. As a eunuch, I have lost my livelihood, so naturally I have to make more money. Otherwise, what would I do in the palace? It can't be fun, right?"
The man in white laughed dumbly and said several good words in succession: "It is a wise saying that a man will die for money and birds for food. Very good, now there is only one problem."
Fang Chen: "What's the problem?"
The man in white said: "How can I believe that Mr. Fang is really willing to cooperate with us?"
"Tsk, tsk, this is indeed a problem. I have to know who I am working for, right?"
Fang Chen raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise something happens to you one day and I am implicated, and I don't even know how I died?"
Man in white: "Interesting."
As he said that, he turned around and Fang Chen narrowed his eyes.
The person in front of me has an ordinary appearance, with a fair face and no beard, giving the impression that he must be no more than forty years old.
He had seen the other person in the main hall before. He was a civil servant, and his rank did not seem to be high.
"Is this sincerity enough?" The man in white smiled.
Fang Chen said calmly: "Tell me your name first."
"Zhao Sen, a member of the Household Department," said the man in white.
Fang Chen didn't believe that this guy was the leader. He was only a member of the fourth rank, and could barely go to court.
His official rank is as high as that of the Internal Affairs Supervisor. In this imperial capital, if you throw a brick with your eyes closed, it might hit a first- or second-grade official.
It’s really not enough to see from the fourth level.
"Now it's time for father-in-law to show his sincerity." Zhao Sen took out a wooden box from his arms and opened it with a smile.
The box contains a colorful and round elixir.
If nothing else, just by looking at the color, you can tell it's not a good thing.
"What is this?" Fang Chen frowned.
Zhao Sen: "Duanchang Powder, after taking it, you have to take one antidote every day."
"The antidote is here. We will provide the antidote to my father-in-law every month."
Hearing Fang Chen's face change slightly, he then calmly smiled and said: "Master Zhao, I am in the harem, and the Imperial Hospital is not far away. It's just a broken medicine, and you can use it on me. Aren't you afraid?"
Zhao Sen chuckled: "If the Taiyuan Hospital can detoxify this poison, how can I come up with it? Lord Fang, don't worry, if there is no antidote, once this Duangchang Powder attacks, it will take less than half an hour to kill you."
.”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, then you have to give me enough antidote." Fang Chen made a joke. On the surface, he was as calm as an old dog, but in fact, he was quite panicked on the inside.
It’s so weird that curiosity killed the cat. Why don’t you just go to Fengyi Palace if you have nothing to do?
This is just great.
"Then please invite father-in-law to come by yourself."
Zhao Sen untied the rope for him.
Looking at the muscular Zhao Sen, Fang Chen thought for a while and decided not to use violence.
Even if he knocks this guy down, he may not be able to leave.
I can only place my hope on Her Majesty the Empress.
He quickly swallowed the broken heart powder and took the small jade bottle containing the antidote. This straightforward attitude made Zhao Sen stunned for a moment.
Why does this girl feel like she has eaten a jelly bean?
Are you really so unafraid of death? This is the first time I’ve seen such a person!
Fang Chen filled up the antidote and said calmly: "Okay, take me back. What the hell time is it now?"
Zhao Sen hummed, glanced at Fang Chen in surprise again, and then looked behind him in astonishment.
Fang Chen was startled, was he seeing a ghost?
He quickly turned around and looked back, only to receive a slap in the face.
Before he fainted, he looked at the stick in Zhao Sen's hand and cursed, "I greet your whole family!"
