"Your Majesty, why did you call me here?"
Emperor Deyuan curled his lips and smiled, saying: "Of course I came to the treasury to see the treasures!"
"What treasure?" Could it be a coral reef?
"Seven years ago, I got a priceless treasure. I would like to invite you to come and have a look. You can also feast your eyes on it."
Everyone: Your Majesty, are you serious? The treasury is so dark, are you sure Princess Xile can see it? Isn't this just fooling a child?
"Treasure?" What other treasures could there be in the emperor's treasury except coral reefs.
"A giant colorful coral reef!"
[It is indeed a coral reef. Now that we are here, let’s take a look!] Although it is an evil thing, it doesn’t matter if we take a look.
He looked towards the dim warehouse and said, "Why don't you turn on the lights?"
The guard was about to explain when he was stopped by Emperor Deyuan's eyes.
He had no choice but to respond, "I'll light the lamp right away!" The guard thought, why bother, it will go out anyway, why not just explain it to Princess Xile.
The guard entered the storeroom and lit the oil lamp inside, thinking that it would go out after a while just like before.
But after waiting for a while, the oil lamp became brighter and brighter, with no sign of going out.
Seeing this, the guard was stunned and stood there at a loss as to what to do. It was Yan Jiaojiao's voice that brought him back to his senses.
"Brother Guard, keep the lights on!"
At some point, Yan Jiaojiao came behind him and looked at him innocently.
"Yes, Princess!"
The guards continued to light the lamps, and each time they were lit, the lamps grew brighter and brighter, without going out.
I was thinking for a while...
It's really strange today. The oil lamp that can't be lit on normal days is actually lit now?
Soon, the entire treasury was lit, and the originally dim warehouse became bright and transparent.
Emperor Deyuan, who was following behind him, was also shocked.
Although I had guessed it, I couldn't help but tremble when I saw with my own eyes that the situation was completely different from before.
As an emperor, he did not allow others to see his embarrassment, so he disguised himself well.
"Where is the coral reef?" It had been a long time since he had been to the national treasury, and Emperor Deyuan didn't know where to put it. The main reason was that the national treasury was too large, with more than a dozen underground warehouses of various sizes, not to mention that he had to walk through a very long tunnel.
"It's just ahead..." The guard led the way and soon arrived at a basement.
The warehouse was brightly lit and originally contained many gold, silver and jewels. However, as the coral reef grew larger, other items could no longer be placed and had to be vacated.
The entire basement was left with only a giant coral reef that could not be moved.
At this time, Emperor Deyuan came to the coral reef and introduced it: "Jiaojiao, this is the treasure I collected, the giant coral reef!"
Looking up, Yan Jiaojiao's eyes lit up at the huge object that was more than half a meter taller than her.
"It is indeed a priceless treasure. I am finally enlightened today! So... Your Majesty brought me here to open my eyes?"
[Although it is an evil thing, it is also a treasure, haha…]
System: [This coral reef grew by absorbing corpses, and later was nourished by blood. If it is allowed to develop, it will sooner or later become a monster.]
Emperor Deyuan: It is understandable that it grew up eating corpses at the bottom of the sea, but how about being nourished by blood afterwards?
Recalling what had just happened, more than a dozen guards were called in to carry the things, but they were all injured by the coral reef.
Emperor Deyuan stepped forward and took a closer look. There was no trace of blood on the surface of the coral reef. It seemed that the remaining blood had been absorbed by the coral reef.
Thinking of this, he took a step back unconsciously, and terror spread throughout his body.
"After so many years, I didn't expect that the coral reefs would grow more and more beautiful in the dark basement." Yan Jiaojiao spoke while touching her chin.
[If this evil thing is obtained by others, it will harm others and themselves. If it is given to this fairy..., then I will make a fortune! ]
System: [Host, you are dreaming. You have done nothing but being a silent mascot in the court. How can I give you a coral reef? Moreover, even if I give you a reward, it will only be other items, not this thing.]
[It seems so. The key is that no one can move this thing except me. It will be a nuisance if it is left here!]
[In the past few years, before this fairy entered the court, the reason why the emperor's treasury was empty was because of this thing. 】
System: [Fortunately, the host appeared later, otherwise the emperor's treasury would have nothing but this coral reef! And this coral reef would eventually turn into a monster and bring disaster to the world.]
Emperor Deyuan wiped his sweat and sighed, it seemed that this coral reef could not be kept.
"It's indeed beautiful, but I'm tired of looking at it!" Emperor Deyuan looked disgusted and even stayed away from the coral reef.
Everyone: This is a priceless coral reef, and its quality is also great, but the emperor despises it.
But thinking back, ever since this coral reef was placed in the national treasury, the funds in the entire treasury have only gone out and not in, and the Great Sheng Dynasty began to decline.
It was only a year ago that the entire court began to improve.
[Is the old emperor tired of seeing these treasures? Does he often come to the treasury to see these treasures? ]
System: [That's not right. The old emperor rarely comes to the treasury. How could he get tired of seeing it? ]
[Maybe I see it a lot in my dreams! ]
System: [That's not right. He rarely dreams, and he never dreamed about this thing.]
Yan Jiaojiao rolled her eyes: [They said they were tired of it, so what? Are you still arguing? ]
The system shrinks its neck: [I dare not]
"Since you're tired of it, just sell it or give it away!"
Emperor Deyuan smiled and said, "Jiaojiao is right. I think so too! But it's such a big piece. I don't know who can move it."
Yan Jiaojiao immediately became interested: "Whoever can move it away, it belongs to him?"
"Exactly!"
Yan Jiaojiao was surprised at first, and then delighted.
"Your Majesty, you must keep your word!" Yan Jiaojiao raised the corner of her mouth.
Emperor Deyuan was also straightforward: "Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back, but I also have a request. You cannot find a partner to transport this coral reef, nor can you use external forces. Only the person involved can move it!"
Everyone: This coral reef probably weighs a thousand pounds. Without external help, it would be impossible to move it with just one person's strength.
Isn't this a disguised rejection by the Emperor?
However, Emperor Deyuan did not refuse in disguise, but left the only chance to Yan Jiaojiao.
He knew that Yan Jiaojiao was the only person in the world who could lift this coral reef.
"You said it, so you can't go back on your word."
Emperor Deyuan smiled and said, "I will never regret it."
My dear ancestor, I wish you would take this thing away right now. It has dealt a heavy blow to my national treasury over the years.
"Okay, I'll try it first!" She rolled up her sleeves and got to work...
Everyone: My Lord Princess, this is too much of a joke. More than ten grown men can’t even hold her up together. How can you?
Just as the head of the guards was about to speak, Emperor Deyuan spoke first: "No matter whether you are male or female, old or young, everyone should feel involved. This is fair! Jiaojiao wants to try it, and I approve it."
Everyone was shocked: The emperor agreed? Isn't this just a joke?
The key point is that he is the emperor, so they dare not say too much.
"Before that, could you guys go out for a while and give me some time, just a little bit..." Yan Jiaojiao stuck out her tongue and smiled playfully.
"Of course," Emperor Deyuan agreed readily.
