Chapter 17

Hearing that the regent was unwell and resting at home, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were very concerned and came to visit one after another.

The threshold of the palace is about to be crushed.

As the perpetrator, Kong Tan looked at the pile of various tonics in the hall and rubbed his chin, guessing that no one would have noticed the stolen items.

There was a smirk on her face, she stretched out her hand and was about to walk along, when a soft voice came: "Sister Kong, what are you doing?"

Looking back, Jiang Ling looked at her innocently with obsidian-like eyes.

Kong Tan withdrew his hand embarrassingly, and concealed his guilt with an embarrassed smile: "No, I didn't do anything."

"But, I understand clearly..."

Afraid that he would damage Kong Tan's image as a wise man if he continued talking, he quickly changed the topic.

"What are you here for?"

"I heard that Uncle Huang is not feeling well, so come and have a look."

Kong Tan almost dragged him towards the front yard of the East Wing.

"I'll take you there."

When he was about to leave the house, he reluctantly glanced at the supplements on the table.

Oh shit.

Her money flew away again.

Many people surrounded Jiang Ling in the front yard of the East Chamber. When they saw Jiang Ling, they bent down and cupped their hands one by one: "See the emperor."

Jiang Ling hummed with a mature look, and walked towards the house with a solemn face.

After a while, the adults in the front yard bid farewell and left one by one.

After Kong Tan sent Jiang Ling to the door of the room, he stopped in his tracks and dared not go in.

Jiang Ling didn't notice her small movements at all, and was only thinking about the discomfort of the emperor's uncle.

Kong Tan stood at the door, wondering how valuable those supplements would be, and whether they would be enough to cover his expenses along the way.

"I don't know what this girl's name is?"

A clear male voice sounded, pulling Kong Tan's wandering thoughts back.

The man in front of him was wearing a smoky blue embroidered robe, thin and elegant, with a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

Kong Tan glanced around and pointed to himself: "Are you asking me?"

The man nods.

"My name is...Xiao Kong."

The man smiled: "So it's Miss Xiao Kong, I'm Li Yu. I just saw Miss Xiao Kong and I think you look like an old friend of mine."

Kong Tan nodded, not wanting to talk to him more.

The reason for striking up a conversation is too old-fashioned.

She often uses it to hook up ignorant teenagers.

"Master Li, is he going to visit the regent? People are inside, just go in by yourself."

Li Yu smiled and shook his head: "I have already visited."

I don't know if Miss Xiao Kong can have a meal with her tomorrow? "

He explained, "Meeting is fate, I just want to make one more friend."

Kong Tan looked at him carefully, and asked without thinking: "I'll go to dinner with you, how much will you give me?"

Li Yu choked for a moment, never expecting to pay someone to have dinner with him.

"How about 50 taels?"

Kong Tan clicked his tongue contemptuously: "You sent the beggar."

"..."

"100 taels, no bargaining."

Li Yu gritted his teeth: "Success."

Kong Tan smiled blindly, and stretched out his hand: "Give me the money first."

Li Yu searched his whole body, and finally took out 100 taels of silver notes from his sleeve.

"Tomorrow I will send someone to pick up Miss Xiao Kong."

"Good talk, good talk."

Kong Tan cherished the bank note and put it in his bosom, and when he saw Ju Yue's figure, he immediately hid it away, fearing that he would file a complaint with Jianghuai and hand it in to himself for fear of being discovered.

Ju Yue turned towards Li Yufu, turned to look at Kong Tan and said, "Miss Kong, the regent is calling you."

Kong Tan snorted, and waved his small hand to Li Yu before entering the room: "Master Li, go slowly, I will definitely attend the appointment tomorrow."

Li Yu squinted and nodded, a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "Okay."
