Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"No? Gentlemen, don't you think your request is excessive?"

They both shook their heads and said in unison, "Sorry, no."

Ninth Prince...

He was really speechless. His mother opened the door for him, and he was speechless at home.

"Then tell me, what do I want? To manage the country for you?" Yes, he felt that if he really agreed to their request, it would be like managing the country for them.

Just imagine how many things an emperor has to do. How can he have the time to pay attention to whether there are people coming to the North City? If he doesn't check for a while, and the people of the North City encounter an accident here, does it mean that they...

Will they get rid of him to avenge them?

Leng Youran shook his index finger in disapproval. "No, no, no, we really have no interest in you Xihu. If we promise you the throne, you will be the emperor here. In fact, our request is simple. We just want you to take care of the people from North City. After all, this matter will be easier to handle once you become emperor."

When the Ninth Prince heard this, he just wanted to go crazy and cursed inwardly: It's not easy at all.

If he had issued such an order right after ascending the throne, how would the people laugh at the royal family?

But he said with a smile: "You two, aren't you afraid that I won't want this throne? After all, I wouldn't feel at ease holding such a throne."

Li Tianze spread his hands and said, "Oh, forget it, Prince Xian, just pretend you haven't seen us today!"

After saying that, he did not forget to stand up and make a gesture of invitation. His posture looked like he was seeing off a guest.

The Ninth Prince just felt that his butt was uncomfortable sitting on the fishing stool.

Negotiating with these two people seemed like a joke.

Not only did he not get any initiative, but he was also filled with anger.

However, the conditions they offered were very generous.

Ignoring Li Tianze's gesture of chasing him away, he started thinking to himself.

After weighing the pros and cons, he stood up.

"Never mind, since that's the case, then let's do as you say!"

Being an emperor who rules the world is better than being a cowardly prince.

Anyway, North City is so far away from them, so it would not be easy for ordinary people to come here even if they wanted to.

He didn't know how many more guards Xihu would have in the future because of his decision.

Of course, this is all for later.

Let’s not mention it for now.

"Okay, since you're so forthright, we have a deal. Ten days from now, I'll congratulate the new Xihu Emperor on his ascension to the throne."

When the Ninth Prince heard the word "ten days", he was completely stunned.

So fast?

Even if he rushes to make the dragon robe, it will take some time!

After all, the clothes I made secretly before can no longer be worn.

"Um, um, is it so urgent?"

Li Tianze nodded, "Well, this is the longest time I give you. You have to be prepared these days. I don't want to wait until we massacre the capital before you..." Li Tianze looked him up and down, his eyes full of unspeakable expressions.

The Ninth Prince understood the look of contempt in his eyes and said, "Okay, I understand. In ten days, I will show you a different me."

After saying this, he was about to leave, but after taking two steps, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and turned around and said, "If you want to touch the Zhao family, it may not be easy. The other three major families in the capital are now in cahoots with the Zhao family, so be careful." After saying this, the Ninth Prince walked away in a leisurely manner.

He looked as if he was saying that whatever happened next was up to you and all he had to do was ascend the throne.

Leng Youran and Li Tianze looked at each other.

It wasn’t because of the Ninth Prince’s attitude just now, but because of the other three families he mentioned.

They never thought that the other families would be involved with the Zhao family.

If what he said is true, then does it mean that if they attack the Zhao family this time, they will have to eliminate the other three families as well?

So their plan...

"Tianze, let Li Yi and Li Er come over, and we will make a new plan."

Seven days later.

Leng Youran and the twenty people who followed him were the first group to enter the city.

With the Ninth Prince as their insider, it was easy for them to enter the city.

Xianwangfu

The Ninth Prince looked at Leng Youran who suddenly broke into his mansion with a look of despair and said, "Madam Li, didn't you say that I would be the only one to help you into the city? Why..." He pointed at the group of people standing behind Leng Youran.

"Oh, I don't know Xihu well, and my husband is not here. You are the only acquaintance I have here. I thought it would be too dangerous to stay at the inn, so I came to bother you."

How could the Ninth Prince believe her lies?

His palace can be said to be the most remote place in Xihujing City. She can find her palace in the dark. With such ability, no one would believe that it would be dangerous to stay in an inn.

"Why? From what the prince said, you don't want me to stay for more than two days?"

The Ninth Prince didn't dare to say no, so he waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, Madam, that's not true. It's just that my palace has so many people coming and going, I'm afraid..."

Leng Youran shrugged, seemingly oblivious to the reluctance in his eyes. "No problem. I think the yard in the southwest corner is a good option. It's remote and sparsely populated."

The Ninth Prince really wanted to swear.

Look at her tone, it's as if this is her residence, and she's being picky.

Doesn't she know that the courtyard in the southwest corner is the best place to live in this mansion?

No, it was obvious that she knew, that's why she said that.

"That's my secret base. Madam, if you go and live there, isn't it a bit..."

Leng Youran smiled faintly, "It's okay, I already have a child, so I won't have any thoughts about you, Your Highness, so you can rest assured."

Ninth Prince: Can he curse his mother?

How come this person...

"Forget it, forget it. Just consider it as a debt I owe you. Okay, you can go and live here, but your meals..." It's not that he was reluctant, but if so many people were eating in the mansion all of a sudden, it would still arouse suspicion.

His house was far from peaceful, with spies everywhere.

The only place that no one dared to approach was the courtyard in the southwest corner, where my father would occasionally stay when he was alive.

But now...

He secretly glanced at Leng Youran with a resentful look.

Fleeting.

Leng Youran pretended not to notice his actions and said, "No need. Just pretend that no one is there. We'll find a way to get food ourselves."

The Ninth Prince nodded slightly, "Okay, then Madam, take the people with you, then..."

Before he could finish his words, Leng Youran and the others were no longer in the room.

He glanced at the concubine who was still sleeping on the bed and shook his head helplessly.

I really met a living father.

It was the middle of the night, not only disturbing his sweet sleep, but also making his beautiful concubine faint.

I looked up at the dark sky, and a line of tears filled my eyes.

A gust of wind blew and he couldn't help shivering.
