She had no interest in telling this boy what was on her mind.
Seeing her unwillingness to say more, Gu Siyu could only give up her plan to continue asking for the time being.
Ming Lanruo ate for a while, while the young man next to him just sat silently.
She glanced at him: "Aren't you going to eat?"
Gu Siyu lowered her handsome face and whispered: "Miss, just eat it. I ate it in the kitchen."
But as soon as he finished speaking, his stomach began to growl.
He froze for a moment, but Ming Lanruo couldn't help but chuckle. She picked half of the food in the bowl and pushed it to him: "Eat it."
Gu Siyu then shyly took the bowl and chopsticks: "Thank you, Miss."
After Ming Lanruo and himself finished eating, he packed up the dishes and exited, returning to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, there was only one cook in charge of the house dressed as a Miao man.
When the cook in charge saw him coming, he immediately went up to greet him and said flatteringly: "Young Master, you see, I have done everything you asked me to do. My family..."
Gu Siyu threw a silver bag on the table: "There are one thousand taels of silver notes in it. Your little ones, I will let people watch them. I won't hurt their lives. I will let them out in a few days."
A black figure simultaneously placed a tray in front of the cook.
There were women's silver bracelets on the tray, as well as things belonging to the elderly and children.
When the cook in charge saw this, he immediately held the bank note and the tray in his arms tremblingly, and said respectfully——
"Master, don't worry. Concubine Ming will take care of all the food, daily life and other things."
One thousand taels is enough for his family to enjoy snacks for at least thirty years!
...
"See Your Majesty!"
On the other side, Shangguan Hongye took Ling Bo back to his room.
As soon as he entered the door, two middle-aged men dressed in wizard costumes and holding scepters bowed to him respectfully.
"Get up." Shangguan Hongye said calmly.
The two great wizards came up, holding the wizard's staff, and took the water bowl, and sprinkled something into the water bowl.
Then, they walked around Shangguan Hongye three times, muttered something to each other, dipped their hands in the water from the water bowl, and sprinkled it on Shangguan Hongye.
After a while, they said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the poison-avoiding and poison-avoiding pills we gave you are all working, and you don't have any poisonous insects or poisons on your body."
Shangguan Hongye nodded calmly: "Two great wizards have worked hard. I still rely on your help these days. In the future, when all the ethnic groups in the three southwestern provinces are prosperous, there will definitely be a place for these two great wizards."
The two great wizards looked at each other, then clasped their fists at Shangguan Hongye and performed the courtesy of the Central Plains: "Yes, Your Majesty, we have been oppressed by the dragon's cry for too long, and we can only rely on Your Majesty."
Shangguan Hongye held their hands and said: "Don't worry, the three southwestern provinces and the Miao territory are not the responsibility of one person. The great wizard Longwei should not claim to be the king and hegemony because King Xiaojing Nan is his grandson."
The two great wizards looked happy.
The old man Long Ting took advantage of his age, the previous saint was his daughter, and King Xiao Jingnan was his grandson, and he did whatever he wanted.
I still want to continue to control the power of Miao territory and continue to be the supreme king in the three southwestern provinces. What a dream!
Watching the two great wizards leave, Shangguan Hongye sneered: "They all say that the Miao border is united, but I don't think that's the case."
Ling Bo cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I think Concubine Ming may have doubted your purpose of coming here."
"What can she do if she knows? Obviously, my appearance here is beyond her expectation. I must take her back this time." Shangguan Hongye said calmly.
"I promised to give her the position of Crown Princess, which is also the position of future queen, not to mention..."
He paused and looked deeply: "If she is brought back by me and Cang Qiao is not dead, she will definitely appear. If he does not appear, it means that he is really dead."
This time, he wants to kill three birds with one stone.
