These days, Gu Baijiang has been staying at the Ministry of War; even the emperor seems to have some whim and suddenly wants to investigate the National Treasury expenses.
Every department became busy, and of course, he couldn't leave.
Today, the Third Prince sent someone to inquire about the whereabouts of the silver, but he managed to evade the question.
This is his trump card; even if he has to hand it over, he can only take out a part first.
Initially, it was the Third Prince who actively asked him to handle this, and now suddenly asking for it might indicate something has changed.
His entanglement with the Third Prince is getting deeper; he does not want to offend him unless absolutely necessary.
However, suddenly taking the silver now leaves him anxious, so he plans to delay for a while.
Just in time, with the Ministry of War's busy situation, the Third Prince wouldn't dare to openly contact him, giving him a few days of respite.
