Looking at the frowning, serious old man before him, Tan Jizhi shook his head inwardly. Luckily, he had no intention of cooperating with this old man. Otherwise … how could a person whose imagination would be so happy with just a casual sentence be reliable?
The Prime Minister was silent for a while before looking at the two of them, asking, "Miss, why should I believe that you are a descendant of Infinite Boundless Mountain?" The white-clothed girl asked mildly, "Infinite Boundless Mountain's descendants usually don't need the so-called official seal as proof. How does Minister Yun want me to prove it?"
"I heard that Infinite Boundless Mountain's descendants are proficient in the four arts, the four arts, poetry, singing and dancing, astrology, medicine and divination. I wonder if Miss is able to treat Little Fool? "When Tan Jizhi had sent that Young Master of the Prime Minister's manor back, he had already fallen unconscious. The Prime Minister could do anything, but even the famous doctors of the city had not been able to treat him. It was not that he had not suspected Tan Jizhi, but afterwards, he had sent people to investigate. His son had indeed been harmed by those northern barbarians, and the poison his son had been inflicted with was said to be a secret medicine of the north that had almost been lost.
The white-clothed girl said mildly, "I already know of the poison that your son has been inflicted with. To be honest, I am indeed unable to treat it now. However … Infinite Boundless Mountain has a thousand-year-old Blood Mushroom that can treat this poison. After Young Master Tan told me, I have already sent people back to retrieve it. "
That Prime Minister was also not an easy person to fool, but he was a classic example of not letting go until he saw the rabbit. "This old man has indeed heard that Infinite Boundless Mountain has a thousand-year-old Blood Mushroom. Since that is the case, this old man will wait for Miss's medicine. "His meaning was that he should believe her identity, and wait until he saw the thousand-year-old Blood Mushroom.
The white-clothed girl did not mind, nodding, "That is also good. It will take at most one and a half months to go to Infinite Boundless Mountain and return. I also hope that Minister Yun can keep his word. Otherwise … the price of playing with my Infinite Boundless Mountain … "With a cracking sound, the teacup in that slender, jade-like hand had already turned into dust. The white-clothed girl stood up and said to Tan Jizhi, "Young Master Tan, since Minister Yun does not wish to talk now, let's go. You and I will go back first. It won't be too late to talk after the thousand-year-old Blood Mushroom arrives. Young Master has already waited for so many years, a few more days won't matter. "
Tan Jizhi smiled, "Miss is right. Please. "
The Prime Minister saw that Tan Jizhi's smile contained a trace of respect and caution, and his confidence in the white-clothed woman's identity increased by two points. Thinking about it again, there was no need for Tan Jizhi to lie to him. Before this Miss Dongfang had appeared, he had already planned to cooperate with Tan Jizhi. Thus, the existence of the Infinite Boundless Mountain was not the most important thing. Thinking of this, the Prime Minister hurriedly said, "Young Master Tan, Miss Dongfang, please wait. We still need to have a good talk. "
The two of them turned around and looked at the old man without any surprise.
The Prime Minister sighed and said, "Young Master Tan, Miss Dongfang, please take a seat. Let's have a good talk. "It was not that he did not want to whet Tan Jizhi's appetite, so that it would be easier for him to state his conditions. It was just that they couldn't afford to wait. Ren Qining was indecisive and reluctant to take action against the people of the Northern Region to restore the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, but the people of the Northern Region kept pressuring them. These old officials who had been assisting the Lin family for generations were naturally unwilling to share their hard-earned achievements with those barbarians. Ren Qining gradually began to feel dissatisfied with the restrictions they placed on her. It was also because of this that the Prime Minister was moved when Tan Jizhi appeared.
Tan Jizhi was different from Ren Qining. Ren Qining was taught by them from a young age, and had already grasped most of the power of the Lin family. However, Tan Jizhi was a complete outsider. Even if he was supported to the throne, he would definitely not be able to grasp the power in a short period of time. When the time came, these old officials would still have to assist him. More importantly, Tan Jizhi had no relationship with the people of the Northern Region, nor did he have any so-called kindness. Naturally, he would not hesitate to take action against the people of the Northern Region.
The two of them sat down again. Ye Li smiled indifferently and said, "Since the Prime Minister wants to talk, we will naturally accompany him. What does the Prime Minister want to say?"
The Prime Minister frowned slightly and looked at the two of them and said, "If we agree to help Young Master Tan ascend to the throne, what can Young Master Tan promise us old officials? You must know that even if we do nothing now, we can still enjoy glory, splendor, and wealth. "
"Glory, splendor, and wealth?" The white-clothed girl smiled coldly, a trace of disdain flashing across her beautiful face. "Everywhere the Northern Region goes, there is no place where the people do not have a livelihood. In terms of prosperity, this so-called Northern Region Royal City cannot compare to the Chu capital, which has just experienced the flames of war. Such glory and wealth … even the Prime Minister thinks that it is not bad? It seems that the previous dynasty has indeed been dead for too long, such that the nobles of the previous dynasty have long forgotten their former glory. They only want to occupy a small place and live in peace. If that is the case, Young Master Tan and this lady have come to the wrong place. "
"Lady Dongfang!" Being mocked so mercilessly by the white-clothed girl, Prime Minister Yun's face also turned a little ugly. However, he had to admit that her words were not false. Changqing City was not even comparable to some of the larger cities in the Central Plains, let alone the Chu capital Emperor Of Xiling's City and Glass City.
Looking at Prime Minister Yun, the white-clothed girl said rather proudly, "As long as Prime Minister Yun fulfills your promise, Infinite Boundless Mountain will naturally assist the Northern Region in restoring its economy and livelihood. Also, Infinite Boundless Mountain can also secretly persuade Mo Jingli and Jhennam Of Gojoseon to work together to deal with the Prince Ding Mansion. At that time … the Prince Ding Mansion will naturally not be a difficult matter. Conquering the Chu capital will naturally be a matter of time. "
Hearing her words, the Prime Minister could not help but feel pleased as he looked deeply at that white-clothed girl, before looking at Tan Jizhi, "From what this old man knows, the successors of Infinite Boundless Mountain in the past have all been married off to someone of lower status. If that is the case, in the future … "
Tan Jizhi's expression changed slightly as he hurriedly said, "Prime Minister need not worry. If this matter really succeeds, the future Queen will definitely come from the Yun family."
"Oh?" The Prime Minister clearly did not believe it. After all, they were all clear on Infinite Boundless Mountain's reputation and habits. The white-clothed girl smiled sweetly, "Prime Minister need not doubt it. Actually … Infinite Boundless Mountain originally did not intend to interfere in these matters this time. It is just that … the Prince Ding Mansion has humiliated Infinite Boundless Mountain too much in Glass City. If we are unable to retaliate, the world will even look down on Infinite Boundless Mountain. Once this matter succeeds, this Lady will return to the Mountain and no longer concern herself with worldly affairs. "
"So that is how it is," The Prime Minister relaxed slightly, smiling.
The white-clothed girl nodded, smiling, "Since both of us are satisfied with our conditions, I will have to trouble Prime Minister Yun. Of course, Infinite Boundless Mountain and Young Master Tan will also help in secret. I believe that the day when Prime Minister Yun officially becomes the King's father-in-law will also be just around the corner? "
These words struck the Prime Minister's heart as he chuckled, "Many thanks for Lady's auspicious words. Seeing Lady act like this, this old man finally believes that Lady is truly a descendant of Infinite Boundless Mountain. Lady is so outstanding amongst women; in this world, only that Princess Consort of the Ding Kingdom would be able to match you. "
The white-clothed girl smiled mildly, before taking her leave of Tan Jizhi.
Exiting the Prime Minister's Manor, Tan Jizhi's expression instantly turned ugly, "Princess, isn't this pretense of yours a little too big?"
The white-clothed girl's features were elegant and elegant, a smile on her face. Wasn't this the Ye Li in disguise? That Prime Minister had just been comparing her to the Prince Ding Mansion. How would he have thought that the Princess Ding he spoke of was right in front of him?
