Seeing that Xiao Ningzi had made her words clear, Ji Liu could only say politely: "I don't dare to hide it from Eunuch Ning. Occasionally, I do gamble a few times, but it's just for fun. I beg Eunuch Ning to be kind and don't tell this matter."
Tell the queen, as long as you are willing to help me, I will remember your grace for the rest of my life, and no matter what you want me to do, I will never hesitate."
Xiao Ningzi smiled secretly, and when she saw someone coming, she said, "Stop crying and howling just yet, come with our family."
Upon hearing this, Ji Liu quickly followed. After arriving at a remote place, Xiao Ningzi said: "We also want to help you, but the Queen has asked us to investigate for several days.
It’s not easy to find you, but if I help you, we won’t be able to explain it to the Queen. We can’t help you by putting ourselves on the line.”
Hearing this, Ji Liu finally understood and said cautiously: "Eunuch Ning, so you are here specifically to see me today?"
"Otherwise, do you think our family will come to a place like this? Okay, let us go. At most, we will help you say a few words of kindness, but a slap in the face is unavoidable."
"No, Eunuch Ning doesn't want it." As soon as he heard that he was going to be beaten, Ji Liu quickly stopped him and said, "If Eunuch Ning wants to do business, I have an idea."
Xiao Ningzi guessed what Ji Liu was going to say next, but she pretended not to know: "Oh, if you have any ideas, please let us know."
Ji Liu said flatteringly: "I am not the only one who is gambling together. As long as you are willing to let me go, I will tell Eunuch Ning the names of the others. The more people we arrest, the easier it will be for our father-in-law to explain himself in front of the Queen."
Isn't it?"
"I can't tell you, kid, you are quite quick-thinking." Seeing Ji Liu smile a little, he changed the topic and said: "You are also ruthless and despicable. In just a short time, you are ready to kill everyone.
Sold out."
Ji Liu was not sure what he meant by this, so he could only smile and say, "I have no choice but to do it. I beg you, Eunuch Ning, to be merciful and spare me this time."
"Okay, don't talk so much. Let's go to Kunning Palace with our family." Before Xiao Ningzi could plead, he said: "Don't worry, I won't be punished with a stick, and I won't kill you."
Ji Liu was confused when he heard this, and asked strangely: "Then...then what are you taking the little one to do?"
Xiao Ningzi glared at him and said, "We'll find out when we get there. Now stop talking nonsense."
Ji Liu shrank his head and did not dare to speak anymore, and obediently followed Xiao Ningzi to Kunning Palace. When he got there, Xiao Ningzi asked Ji Liu to wait in the yard while he went to report to Nala.
Seeing Xiao Ningzi come in, Nala said with a hint of eagerness: "How is it? Have you seen Ji Liu?"
Xiao Ningzi called Qian'er and said: "Reply to the master, the slave not only found it, but also found out what kind of person Ji Liu is." After that, he explained what happened just now in detail, and then said: "
If this slave is not mistaken, he should be a gambler, a despicable and shameless person who would betray anyone for his own sake."
Nala agreed with his words, nodded and said: "It is indeed shameless, but for me, it is the best thing. Have you brought him here?"
"Here he is, just waiting outside." As soon as Xiao Ningzi finished speaking, Nala motioned for him to bring Ji Liu in.
Although Xiao Ningzi had already told Ji Liu that he would not be able to punish him with a stick and would not kill him, he was still very nervous. As soon as he entered the palace, he knelt down in a hurry and said, "This servant pays my respects to the Queen. May the Queen be blessed with peace and prosperity."
"
"Raise your head." Hearing Nala's words, Ji Liuzhan raised his head cautiously, but his eyes were still lowered, not daring to look directly at Nala.
"You're quite human-looking, but it's a pity that you love gambling so much. I heard that you have lost more than a hundred taels of silver, but you still borrow money from gambling and owe money to people everywhere. Is this true?"
Ji Liu hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I realize that I was wrong. Please be kind to the Queen. I promise that I will never gamble again in the future, and I will pay back the money I owe as soon as possible."
Nala smiled lightly and said: "When I saw the gambler for the first time, my Ama said something to me. Guess what it was."
Ji Liu didn't dare to answer, he lowered his head and waited for Nala to continue, "He said...never believe what a gambler says."
Ji Liu hurriedly said: "I swear, I will really quit gambling. I beg the Queen to give me a chance."
Nala stroked her face and said, "Okay, don't tell me these lies. I asked Xiao Ningzi to bring you here because I didn't want to accuse you. Otherwise, how could you still walk like this?"
Seeing Ji Liu shrinking his neck, she added: "I can pay you back the money you owe, and I can pay you back all the money you lost, and even give you another thousand taels of silver.
I only need you to do one thing for me, how about it, are you interested?"
Ji Liu looked at Nala in a daze. He never imagined that he would hear such words. Not only would he not punish him, but he would also pay off his gambling debts and give him money. Is there such a good thing in the world?
After Ji Liu came back to his senses, he remembered Nala's last words and asked cautiously: "I wonder what the Queen wants my servant to do?"
Nala said nonchalantly: "I know that you have been cleaning the Yangxin Palace. I need something from the Yangxin Palace. When the time comes, you can help me get it."
Hearing that Nala mentioned the Yangxin Palace, Ji Liu's expression changed and he asked tentatively: "May I ask your Majesty, what kind of thing is it?"
"You will understand this when the time comes. Now I only ask you whether you agree or not." Although Nala said it lightly, Ji Liu knew in his heart that this matter was definitely not simple. You must know that this is the Palace of Cultivation of the Heart.
Ah, nothing there is simple, and there is even a Royal Seal. What if Nala asked him to steal the Royal Seal, wouldn't he be seeking death? At this moment, Ji Liu could never imagine that Nala would want to steal the Royal Seal.
What he stole was the Fang Royal Seal.
"What, have you thought about it?" Faced with Nala's urging, Ji Liu gritted his teeth and said, "Please forgive me, I'm afraid I won't be able to accomplish this for you."
Nala nodded, not showing any surprise or displeasure at his words, and said calmly: "Xiao Ningzi, Ji Liu gathered a crowd to gamble, and was caught by me. After breaking his hands, he sent him to the Criminal Punishment Department.
"
"No, Queen, please spare my life." In a place like the Shenxing Division, even if you don't die, you will only have half a life left. Ji Liu is not willing to go. He begged: "I'm not the only one who gambles. I can surrender others."
, I just ask the empress to give this slave a chance to atone for his sins."
Nala smiled slightly and said: "Don't go to such trouble. Once you enter the Shenxing Department, I am sure that you will tell me everything. And...Ji Liu, you are not qualified to make deals with me, take me with you!"
