Han Yiyi exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the points announced by the system.
Han Yiyi's voice was so loud that even Nangong Yuan, who was standing next to her, was startled and couldn't help but speak with concern.
"What's wrong? Is something wrong...?"
Before Han Yiyi could respond to Nangong Yuan's words, she heard Xiao Hua's familiar electronic voice yelling in her ear again, completely devoid of her previous arrogant demeanor.
"This is the emperor! Five million is not expensive at all. Look at that cabinet full of good things. Just take a few items and give them to this system. Besides, the medicines I use are all very precious..."
Hearing the system utter such "shameless" words in an emotionless, mechanical voice, Han Yiyi felt a strange sense of disconnect. She rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "I knew this thing was heartless and greedy."
Han Yiyi still remembered that she had wanted some points before, but before she could even ask, this guy had decisively refused her.
Seeing that Han Yiyi did not answer him and her expression was still somewhat strange, Nangong Yuan couldn't help but feel worried. Although he hoped that Han Yiyi could save Emperor Beichen, he also didn't want to put her in a difficult position, so he spoke up.
"if……".
"It can be cured, but it requires 15 million points..."
Before Nangong Yuan could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Han Yiyi.
As soon as Han Yiyi finished speaking, before Nangong Yuan could even open his mouth, he heard the system's voice in his ear, and the volume was noticeably higher by several decibels.
"You, you, you, you are so shameless..."
Perhaps because the system didn't have any swear words set up, it kept stammering "you, you, you" for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out "That's shameless!" It had only asked for five million points, but Han Yiyi's words resulted in an extra ten million points.
Han Yiyi ignored the system's mutterings and looked at Nangong Yuan, though a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes.
It's not Han Yi's fault, is it? She had almost used up all her points and savings for the sake of the soldiers on the border. Nangong Yuan hadn't mentioned repaying the money along the way. It was over a thousand taels of silver, and Han Yi was really itching to pay it back.
The person standing before me now is the emperor of this country. Moreover, those things should have come from his national treasury. If he doesn't repay the silver, he will definitely have to make up for it by taking some of the points from him.
When Nangong Yuan heard Han Yiyi say that she could cure it, he breathed a sigh of relief. As for the points required, Nangong Yuan didn't care. After all, where else could there be as many good things as the imperial palace? If it wasn't enough here, there were several more treasure pavilions in the imperial study.
So he walked to the dragon bed, looked at the pale-faced Emperor Beichen whose breathing was obviously weak, and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty's illness has been treated by a physician, but it is quite unusual. The treatment requires a large number of precious treasures and jade artifacts. Your Majesty has agreed to this on your behalf, since nothing is more important than Your Majesty's life..."
Without waiting for any reaction from the person on the dragon bed, he directly pulled Han Yiyi to the front of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Please take your pick. If it's not enough, I'll go to the Imperial Study to get more..."
Han Yiyi was initially a little embarrassed about having mentioned an extra ten million points, but now that she heard Nangong Yuan say that, she stopped being polite and started exchanging them with the system.
The jade ruyi and the eight-treasure glass bottle in the top two compartments were out of Han Yi's reach, so Nangong Yuan helped her get them down.
Looking at her empty treasure chest, Han Yiyi's eyes flickered before she turned to look at Nangong Yuan.
"How much is left...?"
Han Yi glanced at the balance displayed on the system, which was 6.03 million, and then spoke.
"We're still short ten million..."
As soon as Han Yiyi finished speaking, she heard that familiar mechanical voice again.
"Hmph, insatiable woman..." Han Yi ignored the system's complaints and looked at Nangong Yuan with a serious expression.
Upon hearing that there was still a shortfall of over ten million, Nangong Yuan didn't suspect anything and turned to leave. He was going to the Imperial Study to retrieve the treasure, but before leaving, he said something to Han Yiyi.
"Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back..."
They had intended to bring Han Yiyi along, but were worried that if Prince Yong'an saw them, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
Seeing that everyone had left, Han Yiyi was bored, so she began to wander around the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The interior furnishings all exuded royal dignity and majesty.
Even the bed where Emperor Beichen slept was made of rosewood, not only large but also carved with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns. The embroidered silk on the bed was soft and comfortable, and with exquisite tassels, it also looked gorgeous and noble.
At this moment, the emaciated and ashen-faced Emperor Beichen, lying on this dragon bed, appeared even more terminally ill and on his deathbed.
As soon as Nangong Yuan entered the imperial study, he saw Prince Yong'an sitting at his desk, seemingly reviewing memorials. It seemed that he already regarded himself as the ruler of the country.
When Prince Yong'an saw that Nangong Yuan had entered without being announced, a flash of displeasure crossed his eyes.
"General, are you going back...?"
"No, Your Majesty, I've come to fetch some things..."
Ignoring the doubt in Yong'an King's eyes, Nangong Yuan walked straight towards the Treasure Pavilion. Then, he pulled out a bag from somewhere and put everything from the Treasure Pavilion into the bag.
After filling one cabinet, they moved on to another, until all the items from the three display cabinets were put into the bag.
Prince Yong'an, who was standing to the side, widened his eyes in surprise when he saw Nangong Yuan's actions.
"General, what are you doing... what are you doing...?"
Nangong Yuan glanced at the contents of the bag, then at the bewildered Prince Yong'an opposite him. He simply reached out and ripped off the jade pendant from the prince's body, before turning and quickly leaving the imperial study.
As for the astonished and incredulous expression on his face, Nangong Yuan completely ignored it.
Because he knew that Prince Yong'an was powerless against him at this moment, as he couldn't defeat him, and as for what would happen next, he would leave it to Emperor Beichen to handle. Therefore, Nangong Yuan left without even offering an explanation.
Half an incense stick's time had passed since the person left. Looking at the jade pendant with only a rope left on his body and the three empty treasure pavilions, Prince Yong'an seemed to only then realize what was happening and hurriedly walked towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Not only that, but he was also accompanied by hundreds of imperial guards. They had failed to kill Nangong Yuan in Yanlang City, but now this man dared to openly steal the treasures of the Imperial Study. Wasn't he just asking for death?
