Chapter 180: The Prince’s Response
Translator: 549690339
“What does he mean?”
He plucked some black grapes and threw one into his mouth.
“You’re going to be promoted.”
“A lieutenant general of the Eastern Palace? Aren’t you part-time?”
“Although your position hasn’t changed, your power has increased. In the future, you will be in charge of the Flood Dragon Guards and the Crown Prince’s personal guards.”
“What about Ma Ping ‘an?
“Transfer! He couldn’t stay in the Eastern Palace any longer. Even if this wasn’t his intention and he was just following orders, he had to leave in order to win us over.”
Zheng Fugui scratched the back of his head. He did not quite understand and asked again,””ls he so assured that he’ll hand over the Flood Dragon Guards and the Crown Prince’s personal guards to us?”
“No! You have to be careful when you do things in the future.”
“I’ll remember it!”
A new question appeared, and Zheng Fugui was even more confused. “”Are we worth him spending so much money to rope us in? You transferred Ma Ping ‘an away and handed the Flood Dragon Guards and the Crown Prince’s personal guards to me to manage?”
Zhang Ronghua glanced at him and didn’t have the heart to hurt him. It was better to leave him with some good things than to tell him the cruel truth.
If it’s just you, it’s naturally not worth it!
Even with Eunuch Xiao’s help, you might not be able to move away. You might even be frozen.
However, he was different. Although the network he had weaved was only in its embryonic form, with the Crown Prince’s power, he would not be able to notice it. If they fell out at this time, it would not be of any benefit to him. He would also lose a great help, and all his initial investments would go down the drain.
Moreover…
The Flood Dragon Guards and the Crown Prince’s personal guards were only under Zheng Fugui’s jurisdiction in name. They were not his private troops. As long as the Crown Prince gave the order, they could still be mobilized.
Those who had the ability would naturally be roped in by the higher-ups at all costs.
“Go catch some fish at the Meditation Lake.”
“Who is it?” “Chen Youcai!”
“I’ll go now.”
Seeing him stand up from the stone bench, Zhang Ronghua ordered, ‘”‘Tell
Uncle Shi that Ma Ping An is here, don’t let him in.”
Zheng Fugui stopped in his tracks and glared at him angrily. He clenched his fists tightly.”He still dares to come over? Isn’t he afraid that we’ll beat him up?”
“The Crown Prince wants him to come!”
Seeing that he was confused, Zhang Ronghua didn’t say anything more. He waved his hand and let him catch the fish.
Ma Ping ‘an arrived very quickly. Zheng Fugui had just left, and he arrived right after. He stood outside the courtyard. It had only been a night, and now he was here again. He was in a different state of mind. He was nervous, embarrassed, and uncertain about the unknown.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart. He took a step forward and knocked on the courtyard door.
Thump! Thump!
After repeating it three times, he stopped and waited at the side.
After a while, the courtyard door opened. Uncle Shi walked out from inside and blocked the door. Seeing his action, Ma Ping ‘an’s heart skipped a beat. He smiled bitterly. With Zhang Ronghua’s intelligence, he probably guessed that he would come.
“You can leave!” Uncle Shi said. Qinglin isn’t home.”
Ma Ping ‘an looked at the courtyard. He Imew that Zhang Ronghua was definitely inside, but since Uncle Shi said so, it was obvious that he didn’t want to see him. He was unwilling to leave just like that!
He had already offended Zheng Fugui. If he did not seek his forgiveness, it would be very easy for Zhang Ronghua to deal with him given his position in His Highness ‘heart!
Even if he didn’t borrow the Crown Prince’s power, with his current status, it would be easy for him to do so.
He didn’t dare to leave before he got a definite answer!
He lowered his stance and did not dare to put on airs.”Uncle Shi, please go in and pass a message to Scholar Zhang. Ma Ping ‘an has already admitted his mistake and is willing to be beaten and punished!”
“Qing Lin is not here!”
Uncle Shi shook his head. Just as he was about to enter and close the door, a carriage drove over. It had the word ” Chen ” carved on it and stopped at the door. A guard alighted from the carriage and placed the small stool on the ground. The curtain was lifted and Chen Youcai walked out. He stepped on the small stool and looked at Ma Ping ‘an. He saw that he was blocked outside and could not enter.
He thought about it very quickly, but he couldn’t figure out why. However, he was sure that he had offended Zhang Ronghua, which was why he was rejected.
Completely ignored!
It wasn’t that he was being realistic, but they didn’t have much of a
relationship to begin with. Even if they were both people of the Crown Prince, they had only met a few times before this, and their relationship wasn’t deep!
Previously, he had been nice to him because of Zhang Ronghua. He was Zhang Ronghua’s subordinate.
Otherwise, a mere tooth general would be thrown out even if he sent a visiting card, let alone lowering his status.
He ordered the guard to wait outside. He carried the gift forward and said with a smile,”Uncle Shi, is Qing Lin at home?”
Uncle Shi didn’t even glance at Ma Ping ‘an, as if he was treating him as air. He had completely forgotten what he had just said, and smiled faintly.’Yes!”
She moved aside and let him in before closing the door.
He looked at the tightly shut courtyard door.
Ma Ping ‘an was sullen and did not dare to have any resentment. When he saw Chen Youcai come down just now, it was not that he did not want to follow him in, but he did not even look at him from the beginning to the end.
Having been in the officialdom for so long, he understood that his status was not enough to enter his eyes.
Looking at the sky, he was very unwilling!
He had done nothing wrong. He was only following His Highness ‘orders. Why was he the one who was unlucky?
Just as Zhang Ronghua had guessed, he had been transferred out of the Eastern Palace and his position was to be determined!
He was so lost that he didn’t even know how he left. At this moment, he seemed to have aged a little.
In the backyard.
Chen Youcai placed the two gift boxes on the table and said enthusiastically,””Green Kirin!”
