After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

"A total of ten taels and forty-four coins..."

After the waiter finished calculating the bill, "Zhai Jingxuan" squatted down, straightened the backpack straps on Shangguan Qingyue's shoulders, and repeatedly warned him, "Yue'er, don't forget, ten taels and forty-four coins!"

The little guy nodded in confusion, and Naihu agreed, "I remember."

"Then tell your brother again."

"A total of ten taels and forty coins..."

"No, it's 10 taels and 44 wen," "Zhai Jingxuan" sighed and said directly, "Just remember 11 taels!"

The little guy frowned, "Isn't it ten taels and forty-four coins?"

The waiter was watching from the side and also became anxious, "Miss, just listen to your sister and bring over eleven taels!"

"All right……"

"Zhai Jingxuan" held the little girl's hand and sent her out of the restaurant. The little girl took two steps and turned back to wave at him, "Big Dede, wait for me, I'll be back soon!"

"Zhai Jingxuan" nodded with emotion.

The little guy's back gradually disappeared into the darkness.

【Eleven taels, eleven taels, eleven taels! 】

"Eleven taels! Eleven taels!" Shangguan Qingyue kept repeating it all the way, but finally forgot it all when he saw Zhao Ying.

"Mom, I'm fat and spicy!"

Thump thump thump, he twisted his body and ran towards Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying watched from afar and wondered why he looked so much more embarrassed today than yesterday.

Seeing the little kid pinching her skirt with both hands, looking up at her expectantly, as if asking for a hug, Zhao Ying took a deep breath, and her anger disappeared. Forget it, the child is suffering outside, so she won't beat him...

Zhao Ying held the soft baby in her arms.

"Yue'er, have you eaten today? Don't run outside. Mommy will take you to find durian tomorrow, okay?"

The little guy's eyes lit up, "Okay!"

She hugged Zhao Ying's neck and kissed her, "Mom, I love you!"

Zhao Ying's heart is as sweet as honey.

Then, Zhao Ying asked someone to bathe Shangguan Qingyue and feed her. When Shangguan Qingyue mentioned eating, she suddenly remembered something. She hit her head with her fist in annoyance and said, "Mother, I met Da Dede today. He took Yue'er to eat, and he had no money to pay. Mother, give me eleven taels of silver, and I want to redeem Da Dede!"

As the little guy was about to climb out of the tub, Zhao Ying hurriedly stopped him. She subconsciously thought that the big brother Shangguan Qingyue was talking about was a kind passerby, so she said, "You said the restaurant, mother can send someone to deliver the silver?"

Shangguan Qingyue thought about it and nodded, "This is also a good idea!"

[I’m so tired that I can’t walk anymore…]

"What's the name of the restaurant?"

This is Shangguan Qingyue's fault. [Oh no, I don't know. I just know that I owe eleven taels! ]

When Zhao Ying saw Shangguan Qingyue's expression, he smiled indulgently, stood up, and went to the door to call a guard, "Go to the nearby restaurant and ask if there is a man who owes money. If there is, pay the man's debt."

"I humbly obey my orders!"

After the guards left, Zhao Ying held the soft and sweet baby in her arms after taking a bath, coaxed him to sleep, and then got up to look for Zhao Xi.

She wanted to talk to him.

The moonlight is hazy and as bright as a veil.

"Meet Princess!"

"Be flat!"

The guards moved away, and Zhao Ying knocked on the door gently, "Brother, are you asleep?"

There was silence inside for a while, and suddenly a light voice rang out, "Come in."

Zhao Ying pushed the door open and walked in. Zhao Xi was dressed in casual clothes, sitting upright in the hall with a somewhat gentle look on his face.

Zhao Ying found a seat and sat down.

Zhao Xi asked someone to serve tea and snacks, and asked, "Is Yue'er back?"

Zhao Ying nodded, "He ran back on his own again."

Zhao Xi curled her lips and smiled, her smile was somewhat meaningful.

Zhao Ying looked around, and seeing this, Zhao Xi asked all the maids to leave, and then asked the guards brought from the capital to take care of the place.

The maids looked furtive as they left.

Obviously, every move of the two was under the surveillance of the Dali clan.

Even if the maids in public were withdrawn, it was still difficult to guard against them in secret.

The two had to mention it in a vague way. Zhao Xi said, "This General Liang Suliang may look rough, but he is indeed meticulous. It is the right person to entrust the external defense of the inn to him. Otherwise, the people we brought from the capital would be exhausted to death if they were on duty day and night."

"I also think General Liang is good and courageous. I have no military command and no imperial edict, and General Liang is willing to listen to my orders just for the sake of finding some fruit. If it were someone else, he would probably be scared to death." Zhao Ying took a sip of tea.

Zhao Xi smiled and said, "I don't think Dali is as bad as the memorial said. At least when you sent troops this time, the elders of the clan donated food and money without hesitation. It shows that the elders are loyal to the emperor and patriotic."

"I didn't expect that..." Zhao Ying sneered, "If you don't come down and take a look, how can you tell right from wrong, good from evil? Aren't there enough officials in Beijing who suppress dissidents for their own selfish reasons? Most likely, these people in Dali have offended some court officials."

Zhao Xi nodded softly.

After a while, he said again, "Ying'er, you mobilized the troops privately. If you win, it's fine, but if you lose... I'm afraid that even the emperor can't save you!"

Zhao Ying raised her voice, "I am the only legitimate daughter of my father. Can my father kill me?"

Zhao Xi said solemnly, "Do you really want to put my father in an unjust position? We came to Dali this time to seek medicine, not to fight!"

"But the three armies will set out early tomorrow morning. It's too late to regret now." Zhao Ying turned around, rolled his eyes at Zhao Xi and said angrily.

Zhao Xi looked at Zhao Ying's arrogant and angry look, and the corners of her lips curled unconsciously, and her tone was a little indulgent, "Hey, you are my sister after all, I have already thought of a way out for you."

"What retreat?"

Zhao Xi lowered his voice and said in a veiled tone, "We can forge an imperial edict!"

"Falsely conveying the imperial edict?" Zhao Ying exclaimed, then recovered and covered her mouth in shock as she looked at Zhao Xi, whispering, "This is a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the clan!"

"If you don't say it and I don't say it, who would know that the imperial edict is fake? Even if it reaches the emperor, he won't expose us. He just wants to shut up the officials. If we lose the battle, the emperor will only punish the two of us for the crime of defeat, not the crime of treason such as privately mobilizing troops!"

Zhao Ying pursed her lips and nodded heavily, "Then do as my brother says!"

"But..." Zhao Ying frowned, "Where can we get a fake imperial seal? I can imitate my father's handwriting..."

Zhao Xi snorted and laughed, "I have already prepared it for you. I knew you would not be content, so I prepared a fake imperial edict with the imperial seal. As long as you write something in it..."

"Brother, did you forge the imperial seal?"

Zhao Xi was disdainful, "The throne will belong to my brother sooner or later, what's a jade seal?"

After a long pause, Zhao Ying said in surprise, "Brother, you are so kind!"

At this moment, under the huge vases in the main hall, there is a connection to the underground palace below the inn.

In the underground palace, countless spies were eavesdropping on the sounds coming from the bottles.

At a glance.
