Hearing this, Ling Yun's heart beat rapidly like a charged engine, his blood was raging everywhere like a tiger out of the gate, and he could even clearly feel every hair on his back standing upright.
Ling Yun held his breath and lowered his voice and said, "Eunuch, why do you say this? But where is your majesty?"
Xiao Lizi sighed and shook his head at the same time, but did not directly answer his question.
Instead, he skipped the topic and said vaguely, "You will follow me into the palace first. When we meet His Majesty later, everything will become clear."
Ling Yun wanted to scold her in his heart. He stuffed three 100-tael silver notes in exchange for such an unclear and perfunctory sentence. He couldn't help but thought to himself: What a heartless person.
He had no choice but to take out three more banknotes of the same value, stuff them into Xiao Lizi's hand, and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, please give me some advice."
Another three cards came in. Although Xiao Lizi didn't speak, the expression on his face softened a lot. However, he still had no intention of answering, and instead held his hand to congratulate him.
"Master Ling, you are so polite. The Za family didn't even have time to congratulate Master Ling when Master Ling was released from prison. Today, the Za family is here to congratulate Master Ling on his release from prison. This is a great and gratifying event!"
Xiao Lizi's words revolved around the word "released from prison". At first, Ling Yun didn't hear the hidden meaning. He thought that Xiao Lizi was sincerely congratulating him, so he smiled and thanked him. But as he listened, he listened.
There was something wrong, and I had a vague feeling that Xiao Lizi had something to say.
Later, under his careful observation, he found that Xiao Lizi emphasized the words "released from prison" and "congratulations" very seriously. This made him suspicious, and he fell into deep thought. At the same time, he searched for memories in his mind, wondering, Xiao Lizi
What's the purpose?
When he was puzzled, Xiao Lizi's strange smile made him suddenly enlightened, reminding him of the promise he made to Xiao Lizi in prison.
He couldn't help but secretly cursed, "Damn old money addict, you are so greedy for money, you really fell in love with money."
No wonder he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere from the moment he saw Xiao Lizi. Even if he stuffed the banknotes, Xiao Lizi remained unmoved. It turned out that he was resentful, complaining that he had not fulfilled his original promise after being released from prison for so many years.
Keep his promise in prison.
As for what kind of promise made Xiao Li Zi avenge his private revenge like this?
In fact, it wasn't really a promise. It was just that when he was in the prison, Ling Yun asked Xiao Lizi to help deliver the letter and intercede for him in front of Emperor Qianxi.
The letter was indeed delivered, and this is one of the covers. However, it is unknown whether he interceded for him and spoke well for him in front of Emperor Qianxi.
Although Ling Yun was angry, judging from his current situation, he had to bow his head.
So he reached out and called Yang Ergou and whispered a few times in his ear.
After Yang Ergou heard this, he immediately left the hall.
Not long after, Yang Ergou returned, holding a stack of things wrapped in cloth.
Ling Yun said nothing and directly took it with one hand. Then he looked at Xiao Lizi and said with an apologetic smile, "Eunuch, Ling Yun was able to get out of prison safe and sound only because of my father-in-law's kind words in front of His Majesty. There is really no way to repay such a great kindness.
This is just a small gift, it is not a sign of respect, I still hope that my father-in-law will serve me!"
After saying that, he put the package in his hand into Xiao Lizi's hand. The latter took the package, and at the same time a flash of light flashed in his eyes. Then he opened a hole and found that it was a thick stack of banknotes.
A smile immediately appeared on his face.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Lizi quickly rewrapped the banknote, coughed twice, and said pretending to be angry, "Master Ling, what are you doing? With the friendship between you and me, how can you be so open-minded?"
Hearing this, Ling Yun sneered in his heart.
friendship?
Do they have any friendship?
It's just a relationship of interest. Where does the friendship come from? If he hadn't recognized the interest and presented a thick stack of banknotes, and his stern face would not move, how could there be any friendship?
The two of them had a tacit understanding, but Ling Yun had to say something that was against his will.
"My father-in-law is a foreigner. Just because he is one of our own, I cannot treat my father-in-law badly."
Xiao Lizi kept smiling on his face, but he still said polite words.
"Say...you kid, how do you want the Za family to say good things about you? It's true, you are so ignorant."
After a pause, he sighed softly and said, "Hey! In this case, seeing that you are sincere, our family will not have any contact with you."
Ling Yun also echoed, "Look what my father-in-law said, how can you have an affair with the boy... If the father-in-law doesn't accept it, then he is really having an affair with the boy."
"Hahaha... You, your mouth! It's as sweet as honey. It's no wonder His Majesty likes you so much."
Ling Yun waved his hands and declined, "I don't know whether I'm wearing honey on my lips or not, but my heart is open and I know who is really good to us, so I can't just treat people who are really good to us if I treat them wrong."
At the end, I didn’t forget to ask, “Father-in-law, do you think what I said makes sense?”
Ling Yun's perfunctory manner made Xiao Lizi laugh uncontrollably and said, "Hahaha... It's reasonable, it's reasonable. Not only is your heart open-minded, but your mind is also honest. You really don't like the taste of the Za family, but it's a pity...
left."
After hearing this, Ling Yun's mood became depressed. He sighed and said helplessly, "Yes! I'm leaving."
The two of them paused for a while, neither speaking.
At this time, Ling Yun couldn't help but ask, "Father, I don't know why I'm here, but what's the important matter?"
"this…"
Xiao Lizi hesitated for a long time, and Ling Yun subconsciously felt that the situation was not good.
I could only ask again, "Father, please clarify."
"Hey! It's not because of your affairs in the palace. The Ministry of Rites knew that Your Majesty had released you. They went to the palace to make trouble for a long time today. The situation is not optimistic. Your Majesty sent me here with the purpose of calling you into the palace for discussion.
"
After saying that, he stood up and urged, "Let's go! It's getting late now..."
