Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were also thinking about how to deal with it, but the two of them connected Qiu Feishan's habits with what had happened in the past few days. In the end, they came to the same conclusion.
"From the looks of it, the chances of Your Majesty arranging for you to go to battle is quite high. If there really is an order, what will you do at that time? "Qin Yining pursed his lips and leaned against Pang Xiao. "The national treasury is empty, Your Majesty's internal funds have probably been emptied for the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum. If you go to the battlefield and you don't give them any food, what will the soldiers eat and drink? "
In fact, Pang Xiao was also worried in his heart, but things had already come to this point. No matter how worried he was, there was no need to show it in front of Qin Yining. It would only make her worry for no reason.
Holding her delicate shoulders, Pang Xiao planted a kiss on her cheek, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Know what to do? Even if he knew what to do, what could he do? Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. If he let the soldiers go to war with empty stomachs, these people would probably be full of complaints, right?
Qin Yining faintly sighed and said in a low voice, "If it really doesn't work, there is a way. The things we hid outside Golden Harbor can also be used to solve the urgent situation."
"It's not that I haven't thought of the method you mentioned. It's just that with so much silver appearing out of nowhere, anyone would be suspicious. "
Seeing Qin Yining looking at him seriously, Pang Xiao was also worried that she would misunderstand that he was reluctant to use the money from the treasure, so he explained with a smile, "It's not that I'm reluctant to use the money. The money was taken from the people, so naturally it should be used for the people. I'm just considering our own safety, so I want to use a foolproof method."
"I understand." Qin Yining laughed, thinking that Pang Xiao wanted to say something, "Do you think I don't understand your character? I also want to say that. Saving people is necessary, but at least we have to protect ourselves, so we can do more things. "
Pang Xiao couldn't help but chuckle. "You're right. I won't act rashly. Don't worry."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Although the imperial court was chaotic and the war was tense, it seemed that as long as the two of them could gather together, they would be able to find peace.
For the next few days, Qin Yining carefully took care of Pang Xiao's body. Perhaps it was because Qin Yining was by his side, but Pang Xiao's mood was very good. His injuries were much better than two days ago, which made everyone around him feel relieved.
After Pang Xiao was beaten in front of the palace hall, he closed his door to recuperate, and no longer participated in the court assembly. However, in the past few court meetings, the most heated topic was the Tatan issue. Pang Xiao got some news from his contacts. He knew that Li Qitian was having a heated discussion with his officials about whether to use him.
Pang Xiao didn't care. He waited for the news calmly. However, many of the officials couldn't remain calm.
For the next few days, the originally deserted wang fu suddenly had an endless stream of visitors. Even the steward of the wang fu and the servant in the tea room became busy. Every day, they had to greet and send off guests. They were very busy.
After sending off another official, Pang Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, feeling tired.
Qin Yining came out from the inner room and said with a smile, "How is it? Are you tired these days?"
Pang Xiao leaned on Qin Yining, who was walking in front of him, and nodded as if he had been greatly wronged. "Isn't that so? It's too tiring to talk to these people. They only care about a few things. I have to break them down and tell them."
Qin Yining was amused by him and couldn't help laughing. "So many people visit you. They either want to persuade you to go to war for the sake of the country, or they think that you might rise again. They especially want to curry favor with you, or they want to appease you. I think these people don't care about your feelings at all. There is going to be a war, and you need to fight. They only come here once, as if everyone else is a fool. "
"They are in their positions, and they think of me because they can't think of a reliable way." Pang Xiao shook his head indifferently. "I just think that the situation in Da Zhou's imperial court is very sad. Everyone is looking for small benefits, but they don't seem to care and love the people of Da Zhou. Do you think that such an imperial court, such officials, can they really lead the people to live a good life? "
Qin Yining patted his hand comfortingly. "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Hasn't the interactions of the officials in the imperial court always been like this? For their own small benefits, they can give up and sacrifice more important things in Da Zhou. In their eyes, they probably only have themselves, and only the shining silver is real. Those people who purposely act like this in front of you have ulterior motives. They are most of the people in the imperial court now. "
"I understand the logic, but I still feel helpless when I think about it." Pang Xiao put an arm around Qin Yining's shoulder and sighed quietly.
Just as the two were talking in a low voice, Ji Yun's slightly anxious voice came from outside. "Wang Ye, Wang Fei, Your Majesty's Chief Steward Xiong has come. He has been arranged to drink tea in the front."
Qin Yining and Pang Xiao exchanged a look, their hearts jumping.
They knew that Li Qitian finally couldn't remain calm.
Pang Xiao thought and then flipped over to lie down on the soft couch. She said to the outside, "Go tell Chief Steward Xiong that This King is unable to move right now. If he doesn't mind, invite Chief Steward Xiong to come to the inner compound for a chat."
"Yes." Ji Yun quickly walked to the front hall and repeated Pang Xiao's words to him.
Xiong Jinshui had always been tactful, so he didn't get angry when he heard this. He had made up his mind to take advantage of both sides. Moreover, it wasn't a secret that Pang Xiao had been beaten. On the way here, he had already made all kinds of mental preparations. He even thought that if Pang Xiao's Qi wasn't going well, he wouldn't be angry even if Pang Xiao kicked him, so as to avoid losing his life in the future.
Therefore, when Ji Yun said this, Xiong Jinshui immediately smiled and said, "I didn't think it through. I should have gone to Wang Ye's resting place to disturb him."
Ji Yun knew that this person was a shrewd person and also knew that he had passed this obstacle. She smiled and led Xiong Jinshui to the inner compound and saw Pang Xiao lying on the couch with a pale face.
Xiong Jinshui did not dare to be negligent. He bowed and said, "Greetings to Wang Ye."
"So it's Eunuch Xiong. No need for formalities." Pang Xiao waved his hand and indicated for Xiong Jinshui to rise. He smiled and said, "This King's injuries have not yet healed. It is truly impolite of me to not personally welcome Eunuch Xiong."
Xiong Jinshui hurriedly said that he did not dare. He said respectfully, "Wang Ye, I have come to disturb you this time to convey Your Majesty's message."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands in the direction of the palace to show respect and respect. "Tomorrow is the day of the court assembly. Your Majesty has ordered this servant to inform Wang Ye that you are to attend the court assembly on time tomorrow."
Qin Yining frowned in displeasure and deliberately put on a domineering appearance. "I naturally have to obey Your Majesty's orders. However, Wang Ye's injuries … Chief Steward Xiong, please don't take it to heart. This concubine is only worried for Wang Ye. These days, Wang Ye has been suffering from a high fever that has not subsided. He hasn't even gotten better today. If he attends the court assembly, he will be moved around and his injuries will worsen. What should we do then?"
At this point, the domineering dissatisfaction turned into a bellyful of grievances. Qin Yining quickly shed two lines of tears. "Our entire family has sacrificed their lives for Da Zhou's court. Even my poor son … Wang Ye's injuries are so serious right now. Instead of letting him rest, you have to attend the court assembly. Is it possible for Chief Steward Xiong to discuss with Your Majesty to spare my family's Wang Ye? "
Xiong Jinshui's forehead was dripping with cold sweat when he heard this. He almost wanted to call Qin Yining 'grandaunt'.
"Please spare this servant. You think too highly of this servant. What is this servant's status? How can this servant have the right to discuss anything with Your Majesty? This servant is just following Your Majesty's orders. " Xiong Jinshui couldn't help but kneel as he spoke. "I beg Wang Ye to show mercy. Seeing as we are working together for Your Majesty, please don't make this servant fail!"
Pang Xiao hurriedly supported him with one hand. "Chief Steward Xiong is also in a difficult situation. Moreover, since the imperial edict has been issued, I will just follow it. "
Xiong Jinshui saw that Pang Xiao was willing to speak up for him, and Qin Yining didn't seem like she would refute him. He couldn't help but sigh in relief. He bowed to Pang Xiao gratefully.
"Thank you for Wang Ye's understanding. Thank you for Wang Ye's understanding!"
"You're too kind." Pang Xiao smiled and said, "You are Your Majesty's personal servant. You have always served him wholeheartedly. To tell you the truth, if Your Majesty didn't have you by his side, how could Your Majesty be able to do everything smoothly and take advantage of everything? You and I are both Your Majesty's subjects. Naturally, we have to understand each other. "
Xiong Jinshui couldn't tell whether Pang Xiao was telling the truth or not, but he knew that he had passed this hurdle.
After exchanging some more pleasantries with Pang Xiao, Xiong Jinshui bowed and bid farewell.
Who knew that when he came out, Qin Yining gave him a little pouch. Inside was an exquisitely carved Pi Xiu with gold and jade embedded in it.
Looking at the carving skills of the Pi Xiu and the water head of the jade, Xiong Jinshui's heart jumped. He suppressed the curve of his lips that couldn't help but rise in joy. He said with a smile, "Thank you, Wang Fei."
"Don't mention it. I'm a woman. Sometimes, my brain isn't very bright, and I don't consider my words carefully. Just now, I said those words in a moment of desperation. Please don't take it to heart," Qin Yining said with a smile.
Xiong Jinshui's heart felt very warm, but if someone said that the Prince Zhongshun's Fei had a time when her brain wasn't very bright, he definitely wouldn't believe it. He could only say that at this critical juncture, Wang Fei and Wang Fei were still able to support each other.
Wang Fei was still able to do things for Wang Ye and never leave him. Even he, a palace eunuch, felt envious of such a relationship.
"What are you saying? Wang Fei and Wang Ye are deeply in love. You are anxious for Wang Ye, and you are thinking for Wang Ye. It is understandable. This servant admires Wang Ye and Wang Fei greatly, and will not carelessly spread it. "
Qin Yining thought that if the people around Li Qitian were not more perceptive, they wouldn't have lived until now. She smiled and politely sent Xiong Jinshui off.
Returning to the bedroom, she saw Pang Xiao's brow furrowed as though he was thinking of something important.
Qin Yining knew that he was in a dilemma right now, so she didn't try to persuade him. She believed that Pang Xiao would make the most appropriate choice.
