Nangong Jiu yawned.
[If she is the princess of Xiyue, then I am her ancestor!] Nangong Jiu was still half asleep and still in a bad mood.
"You mean, she isn't?"
[Of course not, she's just the daughter of a palace maid and a servant! As soon as she was born, she was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion by the Emperor of Xiyue to be adopted.]
[That old man is very evil. He and Prime Minister Xue had planned all this long ago.]
[Prime Minister Xue and Imperial Concubine Xue were both deceived by the Emperor of Xiyue. Less than a year after Liu Heng became Emperor, Dongling Kingdom was annexed by Xiyue. The country was destroyed, and the people were devastated!]
Nangong Yunxue was shocked: "And then?"
They were all killed by the Emperor of Xiyue, and nothing more happened! Concubine Xue only learned the truth when she died, and she died with regret.
[I'm so sleepy. I'm going to eat my Dongpo pork now. Don't delay me from eating delicious food!]
After saying that, he ignored everything, buried his head in Nangong Xue's arms, and fell into a deep sleep.
Nangong Yunxue was stunned for a moment before repeating Nangong Jiu's words word for word.
Nangong Yunsheng nodded as he listened: "That makes sense!"
Emperor Dong Ling sneered, "What a great plan! They've been planning this for decades, and are only waiting for the next few days to reap the rewards."
Nangong Honglie's fists were clenched so tightly that they made crackling sounds.
"Xiyue is going too far! Your Majesty, we must strengthen the defense of Xiyue's border."
"Well, I will send a message shortly. The troops stationed along the border of Western Vietnam must cooperate and obey deployment at any time."
Liu Hao raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Father, Xiyue doesn't know we've figured out the truth yet, so why don't we take advantage of their situation?
Send a letter to the emperor, explain what Xue Lin did, and ask the Emperor of Xiyue what he wants to do about it."
Emperor Dong Ling slammed his palm on the jade table and stood up happily: "Very good, let's do it!
In this way, we will inform him that his princess is in our Dongling Kingdom, and also tell him what his princess has done wrong, and then pass the blame on to him and ask him to give an explanation."
Nangong Honglie was in a heavy mood.
"I never thought that Xiyue, whom we had never taken seriously, had been coveting us for so many years right under our noses.
The most important thing is that he succeeded in the end."
Nangong Yunsheng took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, the Xue family colluded with Xiyue to seize Dongling.
If we just behead them like this, wouldn't that be too easy for them?"
Humph, they tore my father into pieces, and chopping off his head couldn't relieve the hatred in my heart.
Emperor Dongling looked at Eunuch Wei and said, "Indeed, beheading them would be too lenient for their crimes.
Lai Fu, pass the order down: Xue Li will be torn apart by five horses, Xue Huaian and Liu Heng will be executed by slow slicing, and Xue Lin will be temporarily detained in the prison to be executed later."
Eunuch Wei agreed and quickly left the imperial study.
After discussing the important matters, Emperor Dongling felt obviously more relaxed.
"You will stay in the palace for lunch. There are also some treasures that were collected from the Sun and Jia families. Wait until Jiuer wakes up and take a look at them. Then go back in the afternoon."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nangong Yunxue bowed to express her gratitude.
"No need to thank me. I promised Jiu'er. It's just that the two families have a lot of property, so the cleanup was a little slow. It was only finished today."
After saying that, he stood up, walked to Xiao Wang, and touched Xiao Wang's shiny fur.
"I heard that you often carry Jiu'er around to play? How about letting me see it?"
Xiao Wang looked at Emperor Dongling, then looked at Nangong Jiu in Nangong Yunxue's arms, walked up to Nangong Jiu, bit his clothes, turned around and put him on his back, and trotted around the imperial study twice.
Emperor Dongling went from being worried at first to clapping happily later.
"Well, good, good, with Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing protecting me and the secret guards guarding me, I feel relieved."
After lunch, Nangong Jiu finally woke up. After defecating, he suddenly felt his stomach was empty.
【I've been eating for so long, why am I still hungry? 】
He yawned and pursed his lips in grievance.
Nangong Yunxue held back her laughter and fed the man.
After eating and drinking his fill, Nangong Jiu stretched his arms and legs, spitting out milk bubbles to entertain himself.
Eunuch Wei stepped forward and said, "Madam Xue, Princess Dingguo, I will take you to the storehouse."
[Going to the warehouse?] Nangong Jiuzhiling pricked up his ears.
"The emperor said that you haven't seen the treasures found from the Sun and Jia families yet, so he asked you to go and see if there is anything you like." Nangong Yunxue told the truth.
"Then let's go quickly. Grandfather Huang's storehouse must be full of treasures. We need to pick some up before he changes his mind."
【Mother, hurry up and go! 】
Nangong Yunxue looked at the clever Nangong Jiu and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Your royal grandfather's words are as good as gold. How could he possibly go back on his word? You've been of great help, and he's thanking you."
[Then can I empty out his warehouse? ]
"Empty it? I'm afraid that won't work. Just pick some that you like.
People should not be too greedy. If you are too greedy, your royal grandfather will not give you the good things next time he gets them."
"Okay then! Leave some for Grandfather Huang, or he'll be pissed off and cry."
Eunuch Wei was listening to Nangong Yunxue's words, guessing the conversation between the mother and daughter, and couldn't help laughing.
"Princess Dingguo, there are many good things in the homes of wealthy merchants. You can choose more. The emperor will not blame you."
Several people came to the warehouse chatting and laughing.
Eunuch Wei pointed to several rows of shelves and said, "Princess Dingguo, the treasures on these shelves are the ones we found from the Sun and Jia families. Please choose!"
The shelves were filled with treasures, which were dazzling. Nangong Yunxue stared with her mouth wide open.
After being stunned for a moment, he held Nangong Jiu in his arms and looked at the rows of shelves.
After finishing watching, he went back and walked slowly.
Nangong Jiu put everything he liked into his small pocket. After clearing several rows of shelves, only half of them were left.
Eunuch Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Now that we've chosen, let's go to the Imperial Study. The Emperor wants to see the Princess, and General Nangong and the others are waiting there too."
When they arrived at the imperial study, Xiao Wang was having a great time playing with a few young eunuchs, while Emperor Dongling and Nangong Honglie, father and son, stood by and watched with smiles on their faces.
Seeing several people coming back, Emperor Dongling stretched out his hand.
"Jiu'er, come and give Grandfather a hug!"
As soon as Nangong Jiu arrived in the arms of Emperor Dongling, he began to grumble: "Grandfather, you are the best. There are so many treasures for me to choose from."
"That Jia Fugui is truly a wealthy businessman. He has all the good stuff. I'm not greedy, so I've left half for you. Don't cry, I'll find you more corrupt officials next time."
Emperor Dongling laughed heartily upon hearing this: "It's alright, Grandfather Huang, don't cry, as long as Jiu'er is happy.
Then it's a deal. When you come back to the palace in a few days, the emperor will take you to court. You can help him find the corrupt officials, and we, Jiuer, will choose the treasure."
[It’s a deal!] Seeing that Emperor Dongling was not unhappy, Nangong Jiu danced with joy.
Nangong Honglie glanced at the hourglass and stood up: "Your Majesty, I will take my leave and go to the execution ground."
Emperor Dongling nodded in understanding.
"In fact, we should all go and see it and learn a lesson!"
Nangong Jiu seemed to understand something.
Is Li Yulin going to be beheaded?
