Yang Shicheng’s heart skipped a beat after hearing his question. In order to save his life, he could only brace himself and nod. “Don’t worry; I’ve destroyed all the letters after reading them.
“As for the silver, I’ve placed it in a fake decorated mountain. But, it’s not the time to use it now.”
Prince Hui believed him when he heard that because he had never seen him touch the silver he gave him.
He replied, “How about this? I will lend you 50,000 taels of silver. Remember to return it.”
“Thank you for your consideration, Your Highness.” Yang Shicheng hurriedly bowed.
Although 50,000 taels of silver was not a lot, it was enough to solve his urgent need.
“Follow me.” After Prince Hui finished speaking, he brought him to his treasury and asked the butler to bring him 50,000 taels of silver.
Yang Shicheng took it and thanked him. He did not stay for long and immediately turned around to leave.
After returning home, he immediately slumped into his bed.
Because he didn’t know how long the lie he made up could last.
He didn’t know who had the gold, silver, and letters. Would that person bring his death to him?
King Rui listened to Guard Chu’s report on Yang Shicheng’s whereabouts. When he heard that the First Prince had lent Yang Shicheng 50,000 taels of silver, he said, “Keep an eye on Yang Shicheng. We might be able to dig out more dirt on him.”
“Yes, but what about Miss Yang?”
“We don’t have to worry about this. Gu Chengrui will handle it well.”
“Roger that.” As soon as Guard Chu left, Qing Tao knocked on the door and came in. “This servant Qing Tao greets Your Highness. Princess Consort requested that I come to ask if you want to have lunch together.”
“I’ll go over after I’m done with my work,” replied King Rui hesitantly.
“Yes.” Qing Tao responded and turned to leave.
Rui Wang was no longer in the mood to read more official documents and sat down to drink a cup of tea. He went out for a walk and went to the side hall before heading straight to the main courtyard.
Sun Miaoke was sorting out her dowries in her room when she saw him coming in. She immediately came up to him and greeted King Rui politely. “Welcome, Your Highness.”
King Rui looked at her awlward walking posture, and his heart softened. He helped her up and replied, “There’s no need to be so polite.”
“Thank you. I had someone prepare two meat dishes and two servings of vegetables, as well as a bowl of chicken soup. Is there anything else you want to add?”
“No, your arrangements are good.” After King Rui finished asking, he asked, “Are you getting used to living here? If you need anything, you can tell me. If I’m not around, you can go to Uncle Feng too.”
“There’s no need, as everything is well prepared. It’s just that the room is hot and dry, so I’m not used to it for now.”
King Rui was stunned for a moment after hearing this. After all, he had only returned home to sleep at night and never felt any discomfort.
He then replied, “You can go to the kitchen and tell Madam Feng to turn off the fire during the day. Also, if it gets too dry, you can get her to place a basin of water in the courtyard.”
“We can control the temperature?”
“Of course, as long as the fire doesn’t go out. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if the heated floor cracked from the cold.”
“I understand. 1 heard from the servants that the heated floor was built according to the one in Lord Gu’s residence.”
“That’s right. The Gu couple is quick-witted, and always fortunate. If there’s a chance, can get to know them more.” King Rui nodded and added on.
“I see.” Sun Miaoke nodded firmly.
Soon, the dishes were served, and the two of them sat down to eat.
For a moment, there was only the sound of chewing in the room, and both of them got slightly embarrassed.
At that moment, King Rui suddenly thought about how Gu Chengrui and his wife got along. He picked up a piece of cumin mutton that Sun Miaoke could not reach and said, “Come, try this cumin mutton and see if you like it. Cumin is an herb that my cousin got from the Gu family..”
