Chapter 599 Making the King of Liang a fool

See? These two are such terrible actors, they even look so shocked.

Xiao Tang feigned a puzzled "Eh," then leaned softly against Di Jingling's arm, looking at the two kneeling before her with a half-smile.

"Husband, since these two are so ignorant, let's just kill them. They're really useless to keep them alive."

Upon hearing that they might die, and knowing that they were no match for this Boss Yu in terms of martial arts, the two men kowtowed to him.

"We will obey your orders, please spare our lives!"

Xiao Tang smiled with satisfaction.

...

The King of Liang lived in his fiefdom for a long time, but he also had his own palace in the capital.

As darkness fell, he paced back and forth in the courtyard with growing anxiety.

If this matter isn't handled properly, he won't be able to obtain the Blood Jade...

Then we'll have to take another risky step!

Just then, two guards returned, clutching their arms.

Covered in blood, they collapsed to their knees as soon as they reached Di Juexiao.

When Di Juexiao saw them, his mood shifted from excitement to dejection. He stared at them in confusion and asked, "Is the matter settled?"

"Please spare our lives, Your Highness! We are no match for that Jade Boss! They are highly skilled in martial arts. We lost an arm and still didn't see the jade!"

"Useless idiot!" Upon hearing this, Di Juexiao's anger flared up, and he slapped one of the guards who had spoken to the ground!

Blood trickled from the corner of the guard's mouth after he had been slapped, but he was not afraid at all. He just pretended to be terrified as he looked at Di Juexiao.

“Your Highness, the jade merchant said… if you can’t afford the money, don’t bother with these roundabout ways, otherwise… he’ll immediately sell the blood jade to someone else.”

The guard who had been slapped relayed everything Xiao Tang had instructed him to Di Juexiao without omitting a single word.

Di Juexiao was initially very angry, but after hearing the guard's words, he calmed down.

He paced back and forth, hands behind his back.

At that moment, he seemed to have figured it out.

"That's right, that's fine too. Let them sell it to others then, and I, the king, can reap the benefits without lifting a finger."

The guard looked at Di Juexiao in astonishment.

"Keep an eye on them. If they sell the Blood Jade to someone else, I will snatch it away immediately!"

Di Juexiao believed that his plan was extremely well-conceived.

-

I don't believe that in this capital city, besides the emperor, there is anyone he can't take from him.

Having figured things out, Di Juexiao happily returned to his bedroom to rest.

The next day, he received a report from his guard.

The guard said, "Your Highness... that jade merchant... sold the blood jade... to the current emperor."

Snap!

Di Juexiao was so frightened that he dropped the teacup in his hand.

He was suddenly stunned, abruptly stood up from his chair, and glared angrily at the kneeling guard, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Because he was in a state of utter confusion at that moment.

How could it be Di Jingling?

Why would that man buy blood jade?

Should we really go against him like this?!

The guard did all this on Xiao Tang's orders, and he even felt that the emperor might actually buy the blood jade.

after all……

They had all heard about the wonders of this blood jade.

Di Juexiao was a little anxious. "No, I must go to the palace immediately! To see the Emperor!"

He panicked.

We can't just sit idly by and wait for something like this to happen.

...

At this moment, Di Jingling was playing chess with Yang Defu.

Just as they were halfway down the stairs, Eunuch Liu came to the door and reported: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Liang requests an audience."

Yang Defu exclaimed, "Your Majesty is truly a prophet! The Prince of Liang has arrived as soon as he said he would. It seems he's currently in a bad mood."

He had also heard about what happened yesterday; not only did the Emperor and Empress spend the night outside the palace, but Prince Liang was also completely fooled.

Back when he first found the blood jade, he was wondering just how magical it was.

Looking at King Liang's infatuated expression, he was certain that it was indeed something that could drive someone mad.

That's really weird!

Emperor Jingling deliberately did not summon the Prince of Liang.

Eunuch Liu understood the Emperor's meaning and waited patiently.

This is deliberately keeping people waiting.

Eunuch Liu didn't dare to ask directly, so he kept glancing at Yang Defu, seeking his help.

If he continues to remain silent like this, he doesn't know how the Prince of Liang will rebuke him later...

Yang Defu asked, "Since Your Majesty and Prince Liang have important matters to discuss, then I shall take my leave."

Di Jingling raised her eyes, gestured with her chin, and granted her request.

As he left, Yang Defu gave a special look to Di Juexiao, who was so anxious that he had forgotten to control his expression.

Di Juexiao was like an ant on a hot pan, anxiously pacing around in place.

Upon seeing Yang Defu, he immediately asked, "General Yang, how is His Majesty in mood?"

Yang Defu blinked, seemingly lost in thought, and nodded, saying, "His Majesty is in a good mood, Your Highness, please come in."

Only after saying this did he leave calmly.

Hearing Yang Defu's words, Di Juexiao's mood eased a little.

He didn't have the courage to snatch the Blood Jade from Di Jingling, so the only compromise he could do now was to feign injury and beg Di Jingling to give it to him.

In this way, he saved some money.

When Eunuch Liu came out and said he could see the emperor, he was overjoyed. As soon as he entered the hall, he bowed and kowtowed to Emperor Jingling, more devoutly than ever before.

If it weren't for Eunuch Liu, who knew the truth, he would have almost doubted whether King Liang was truly loyal to the army and patriotic.

Eunuch Liu glanced at Di Juexiao furtively, then bowed respectfully and withdrew.

"Rise. Did you summon me for something?"

Even though Di Jingling knew what the man meant, she didn't expose him.
