One more thing!

Hmph!

The amount of silver will likely be a token gesture, but the exact amount is up to His Majesty.

Murong Yue picked up the last piece of steamed fish and put it in her mouth.

After finishing his favorite food, he noticed two people standing next to His Highness, chattering away, seemingly saying something.

She turned to look at Ah Hao, "Who are they?"

...

Tai She died.

Xiao Yuanche and Xiao Yuanshuang's expressions immediately changed, feeling extremely humiliated.

The ministers hadn't expected His Majesty to be so courageous...

Only Ahao and Li Xuanji knew that His Majesty probably really didn't know who this person was.

Ah Hao whispered to Murong Yue, succinctly getting to the heart of the matter, "Your Majesty, they've come to ask for money."

ah?

"No."

No food? Come here.

Murong Yue's thinking was simple: what's most important for a human base? Population!

Since your base needs to borrow money, it means you can't afford to support so many people.

Then don't raise them anymore, give them to us.

These words felt like a resounding slap in the face to Xiao Yuanche and Xiao Yuanshuang.

That's so humiliating!

The only response Xiao Yuanche could think of at this moment was to rephrase it.

"It's not... I need money, I need a loan."

Murong Yue was furious. "You want money? It's like begging! At least be polite, right?"

Even if all else fails, you can borrow money!

We agreed on a time when we would pay it back.

Back when I was at the human base, someone borrowed a few of the steamed buns the base provided from me, saying that they had elderly parents and young children to support and were on the verge of starvation.

I didn't eat that stuff myself, so I lent it to the other person.

As a result, the other party kept saying they would pay back the food, but never did. She also discovered that the other party was lying and didn't have any family members. He had just been showing off all the food by himself.

This is simply bullying Shishi.

Later, when she left the human base, she simply threw that person into the zombie horde.

With so many people watching, how dare these two people ask for money outright?

Worried that others might not hear her, she raised her voice slightly, "Borrowing money and not paying it back, I won't give it back."

This put the Vietnamese officials in an awkward position.

Before he left, the emperor had clearly said that he had already made an agreement with the Qing Kingdom to lend them 300,000 taels of silver.

How can you back out on the spot?

Where is the image of a powerful nation?

Xiao Yuanche was at a loss, standing there speechless, as no one had taught him what to do in this situation.

idiot!

If it weren't for being born into the right family, a fool like Xiao Yuanche would never have been sent as an envoy to the Qing Kingdom.

Xiao Yuanshuang cursed inwardly, and before the other Yue officials could react, she stepped forward and bowed to Murong Yue, "Your Majesty, my father wrote to your country before, and your country agreed to provide assistance."

"This document should be preserved."

What I'm saying is, Murong Yue, don't talk nonsense, I have evidence.

In Murong Yue's mind, evidence? What is that? Whether I pay or not depends on my mood, understand?

If you don't understand, my fists will make you understand.

Murong Yue looked coldly at Xiao Yuanshuang below without saying a word, and Xiao Yuanshuang felt that she had been greatly insulted.

But she gritted her teeth and forced a smile.

She refused to believe that Murong Yue, the only female emperor in the world, could really do something so inconsistent.

But she was wrong.

Murong Yue is really capable.

He coldly left behind the words, "I still won't give it to you."

Li Xuanji and his court officials were taken aback by such a tough stance.

"Your Majesty!" This time, Xiao Yuanshuang completely lost her composure.

Murong Yue tilted her head and carefully examined the other person.

The other person wore a huge pearl hairpin on their head, which swayed back and forth and was very eye-catching.

Murong Yue raised her hand and touched the crystal hairpin on her head.

"You, come here."

The way the voice was calling out to someone was like calling a cat or dog, and Xiao Yuanshuang tightened her grip on her side.

But thinking of his grand plan, he managed to suppress the urge to go berserk.

He walked step by step up the stairs to Murong Yue.

There were only nine steps. She was angry when she walked up the first two steps, but from the third step onwards, an idea suddenly popped into her head.

If I were to ascend the throne and become an empress like Murong Yue, would I also climb the steps every day and sit on the dragon throne?

Then consider it a way to familiarize yourself with the place beforehand.

After this self-reflection, she miraculously stopped being angry.

When she reached Murong Yue, she had already planned her coronation ceremony in her mind. She smiled and bowed to Murong Yue again, "Your Highness."

Murong Yue called her up just to see the hair ornament in her hair.

A pearl the size of an egg.

This is what I dreamed about.

No evidence is needed; Shishi's intuition is always the most accurate.

The pearl on this hair ornament is the same large pearl that my mother held in my dream.

But... now it's on someone else's head.

She can still feel her mother's gentle smile.

This won't do.

Murong Yue squeezed her hand on the dragon throne.

Ah Hao felt a sudden tightness in his scalp, because the golden dragon head that had just been repaired had been deformed again by His Majesty's squeezing.

Although gold is soft and can be bitten with your teeth.

But the dragon head on that pure gold armrest was so big that even the imperial advisor would have to use eight-tenths of his strength to deform it.

Your Majesty...

Murong Yue wanted to snatch the pearl directly, but she vaguely understood a principle: never let the enemy know what your goal is.

Otherwise, you won't even be able to get a hot brain.
