Chapter 447 If It Doesn't Hurt, Who Will?

Looking at Ji Xun's calm face and twitching lips, Su Mianyue smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you from now on. You are the emperor's life, how can you do such a thing again?"

"Can the queen do it?" Ji Xun asked with his lips raised.

"Did anyone see that I did it? Who has proof to show it? Promise to destroy it on the spot." Su Mianyue chewed the lotus root in his mouth, looking like a ruffian.

"Then I'll follow you around. Yue has to protect me from being bullied." Ji Xun fawned over another piece of lotus root and fed it to Su Mianyue.

"Don't worry, those guys who have different intentions are going to clean up slowly. What they have to do now is to appease the people and keep their heads to daydream." Su Mianyue then glanced at ji xun and saw that Ji Xun's mouth was full of food. He couldn't help but reach out and pinch him, "I can't find a second boy in my life who doesn't love you. Who doesn't love you? Be good. You have to eat more meat to suit my appetite."

"Does Yue have to eat more?" Ji Xun's eyes lit up.

"Shut up, haven't you learned to eat without saying anything?" Su Mianyue suddenly changed his face and snorted, "You've only said a few serious words, but now you've become a little less serious. Let those officials know what you look like. Who would be afraid of you?"

Ji Xun looked at Su Mianyue speechlessly. Could he remind him that she was the one who flirted with her first?

In this room, the two of them talked about business and flirted. They had lunch for more than half an hour.

The vassals in the post house were in a difficult state of mind, but they could not find anyone to talk to at this time, so they could only secretly get angry.

King qin nan sat in the main hall with a cold face, thinking about the meaning behind Ji Xun's words, and finally broke out in a cold sweat.

"No, I was tricked by that yellow-haired child!" King qin nan let out a low cry and clenched his fists on the table.

However, he could not retract what he had said in front of so many vassals, nor could he give any hint of sending news to Qinling. Otherwise, he would fall into the hands of Ji Xun and even lose the hearts of the people of Qinling because of his temporary interests.

This time around, king qin nan lost 200,000 tons of grain, so he would not be willing to do so.

Remembering what Ji Yun had said the last time they met, king qin nan's face darkened again, and he quickly got up and walked towards the study. However, before king qin nan left his pen, he heard the guard say that Prime Minister Zuo wanted to see him.

"Why is he here at this time?" King qin nan's face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before the storm.

"Prime Minister Zuo came in dressed as a government officer," the guard replied.

"Let him in." King qin nan said after a moment of silence.

After a while, a government official carrying a box walked towards the study and shouted at the door, "My lord ordered his subordinates to present a box of pearls given by his highness the crown prince to the prince."

"Come in." King qin nan's tone was not warm at all, but he could not sense anger, as if he was not angry at all.

The minister dressed as a left hand bowed into the study, put the brocade box on the desk, and then saluted king qin nan, "Your subordinate is here to see your majesty."

"Why are you here? But do you have something important to report to me?" King qin nan looked at Prime Minister Zuo condescendingly and gave him a weak hand. Even though he was displeased, he was also a courteous corporal.

"If we go back to the prince, it is the maid who is missing." When Prime Minister Zuo finished speaking, he saw that king qin nan's face was not good. He said quickly, "It's not a big deal for your daughter to disappear, and your subordinates don't dare to trouble your lord. But when your daughter disappeared, your subordinates lost a letter in their study."

"Is it my personal letter?" King qin nan's face completely darkened. The letters he wrote to Prime Minister Zuo must not fall into the hands of outsiders, or they would be fatal.

"Yes." The left side nodded weakly, not daring to look at king qin nan's face.

"I have repeatedly told you to destroy it. Why do you keep it? Do you want to blackmail me?" King qin nan opened his mouth gloomily, wishing he could end Prime Minister Zuo with a knife right now.

"Your subordinate is also regretting it. How could you have thought that the rebellious daughter would take that letter? Your majesty, your subordinate has sent people to look for it, but they have not found any clues, so your subordinate can only come to ask for help from your majesty." The sweat on his forehead had never been wiped clean. If king qin nan did not say anything, he would be worried. This master was not a good person.

After looking at Prime Minister Zuo for a while, king qin nan suppressed the urge to kill and said after a long time, "Your daughter can't stay."

"What does the prince mean?" Prime Minister Zuo asked uncertainly. He looked up at king qin nan and saw his opponent's murderous face. He suddenly felt that his breathing became difficult. He was afraid that he would die in the next moment.

"Prime Minister Zuo's daughter was taken away by the bandits. Extortion is not a way to kill." After king qin nan said this, he saw that Prime Minister Zuo had an unbearable look on his face and said sternly, "It's better to sacrifice a daughter with your nine clans. Prime Minister Zuo should consider it carefully."

"Junior... Junior knows what to do." Prime Minister Zuo cupped his hands and said, he could not bear to see his daughter abandoned by the family.

"The engagement between the daughter and my subordinates has never happened. As for the other arrangements, I believe you should know." After king qin nan finished speaking, he waved to Prime Minister Zuo and said, "I will not care about this matter with you. If there is another time... I will not keep useless people."

"Yes, I understand. I will never make such a low-level mistake again. Thank you for your kindness." Prime Minister Zuo knelt down and kowtowed. Seeing that king qin nan really had nothing to say, he quickly wiped off his sweat and retreated.

The brocade box on the table was swept to the ground without even looking at it.

Ji Xun was generous enough to exchange a box of pearls for 200,000 tons of grain, but what he didn't lack most in Qinling was this kind of thing. Would he take it back as a humiliation?

In the cellar of a small courtyard in the back alley of Juxian Restaurant, a dim light did not allow anyone to see each other's faces. Yuan Zijing curled up in a corner, her eyes filled with fear. She did not understand why she was taken away. At this moment, she only wanted to escape here, but she did nothing to intimidate and seduce the other.

"What do you want? I can give you all the silver and jewelry I have on me, and I can write to my father whatever you want. My father will definitely save me." Yuan Zijing cried.

"That little bit of money on you is not enough for the young master to have a good time. As for your father, Prime Minister Zuo, he has already announced to the public that his beloved daughter has been kidnapped and extorted by thieves, and that he will not be able to kill her. This time, your spirit hall is all set up. What's the use of your letter?" Liuu spat. If Su Mianyue hadn't asked him to test Yuan Zijing to see if he could get something useful, Liuu wouldn't have bothered to talk to Yuan Zijing.

It's not fun to be a rich girl or anything. Liuu would rather go out on the street and chat with the traffickers and soldiers. Not only would he get the latest gossip, but he would also be able to speak freely without any effort.

However, Liuu, who was in charge of interrogation, played word games that burned his brain almost every day, winning or losing in just one sentence.
