Chapter 1489: Unforgettable (1)
Yang Ruxin deliberately did not want to move the Crown Prince.
Because she knew, the more moved he felt now, the more disgusted he might become in the future.
As people’s status changes, so too does their mindset. Faced with such predicaments now, the Crown Prince might truly be grateful to them, but what about the future? Even if he did keep his promise and gave Gu Qingheng a position of high authority, there is also the saying about servants outshining the master. Since ancient times, all rulers have one flaw—they cannot avoid suspicion, no matter how wise they are.
There are too many instances of rulers discarding their tools after achieving their goals, with examples found in every dynasty.
She didn’t want to risk her life now only to live in constant fear later, so she might as well be more utilitarian and avoid future troubles.
Gu Qingheng watched Yang Ruxin with reassurance, understanding the rationale even better. However, if he had refused, it wouldn’t have been as humorously awkward as Xinxin’s refusal, and it would’ve been less noticeable.
Indeed, the Crown Prince might even think more highly of Xinxin.
Sure enough, after the Crown Prince ungracefully rolled his eyes, he still laughed, "Alright, I’ll give you a pile of Silver when we get back, no need to tell my father, it will come from my personal funds."
"Then on behalf of my future sons and daughters, thank you, Crown Prince," Yang Ruxin exaggeratedly bowed, "But please do not forget, you have no idea how amazing it feels to count Silver..."
"Alright, I won’t forget," Qi Jingchen waved his hand and then chuckled again, his mouth sore no longer bothering him.
Qi Jingyi looked at Yang Ruxin with a somewhat probing gaze.
