[What is that?] Ji Yingying had just put the gold into her spatial storage when she discovered a skeleton. She even poked at it a couple of times to confirm that it was indeed a skeleton.
Rong Yi also came over with a disbelieving expression, but his gaze was not on the skeleton, but on Ji Yingying. Such a young child, is she really not afraid of the skeleton at all?
If this happened to any other child, they probably wouldn't get a good night's sleep tonight.
Are these monks from the temple?
[No, host, there's juicy gossip, gossip about this gold.]
[This is outrageous! Even gold has gossip? Let me see... It turns out this corpse was the crown prince of the previous dynasty. Because of the passage of time, his family left him with nothing but this address and some guards. He himself didn't even know he was the crown prince of the previous dynasty.]
[For some reason, he became a disciple of the former imperial tutor. That tutor accidentally saw his jade pendant and began to deceive him, even poisoning him. The poor child, with his parents gone, trusted this teacher the most, and was thus tricked into coming here, where he killed the old monk guarding the treasure.]
[They lured him in again, then killed him with their own hands. He only learned his true identity before he died, and by then he was filled with remorse. But he was already dead, so he cursed the imperial tutor to die a horrible death and to be childless.]
[And believe it or not, that imperial tutor really did die childless and not have a peaceful end. Half of his fortune was in there; he couldn't bear to spend it, so he died of illness. This body is that of the imperial tutor, who wanted to be with all this gold and jewels even in death.]
"What the hell?! Xiangxiang, are you crazy? Can you believe someone's this greedy?"
[Host, don't you also love money?]
No, you don't understand me. I love money, but I won't make things difficult for myself. Money is important, but it's not as important as health. What's the use of money if you're dead?
After they finished eating the melon, the guards arrived and carried boxes out. This time, it wasn't the Crown Prince who came, but the Fifth Prince, along with Ji Jiayu, who was, after all, a member of the Imperial Guard.
"Greetings, Fifth Prince."
"Yes, Lord Ji, are you hungry? I brought you some braised pig's trotters from Juxianlou." The Fifth Prince replied and immediately went to find Ji Yingying.
"Fifth Prince, you've arrived?"
Ji Yingying's eyes were fixed on the food box; she was indeed hungry.
It's getting dark, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get down the mountain tonight. Who knows what wild animals are lurking in these mountains? It's safer to stay here.
"Father said that you will have a day off tomorrow so that you can rest at home."
"real?"
"real."
[This emperor is quite something; he's finally acting like a human being.]
As soon as the pig's trotters were served, she picked them up and started eating them; they tasted really good.
After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she noticed Ji Jiayu standing to the side.
"Second brother, you're actually here."
"You only just noticed me? I thought you were blind," Ji Jiayu said sullenly.
"Heh, I wish I were blind. I don't even want to see you. Who is it? Who made me get beaten up? My parents aren't here today. You dog! Today, I'll let you experience the struggle for the throne. It's always been this way."
Ji Yingying had just finished eating pig's trotters and hadn't even washed her hands when she rushed up to him and pounced on him, using his clothes as a rag to wipe her hands.
Ji Jiayu naturally wouldn't let her succeed, and the two started fighting in public.
This sudden action startled everyone present, because Ji Yingying bit Ji Jiayu, and Ji Jiayu didn't let her off the hook, pulling her hair.
There was a sense of "it's either you die or I live" in the air. The Fifth Prince immediately sent people to stop them, but they couldn't stop them no matter what they did.
"This... I didn't know that siblings could be like this." The Fifth Prince didn't have any siblings, let alone any brothers or sisters who had ever fought like this.
He didn't know what to do either. Rong Yi was also having a headache. This little rascal could cause trouble without him even realizing it.
You're just making trouble in your heart, why go to such lengths? They don't know what to do either.
The two must have gotten tired of fighting, because they stopped, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, it was thought that the two had a bad relationship, but when it came time to rest, Ji Jiayu still protected Ji Yingying, and Ji Yingying only wanted Ji Jiayu to accompany her to rest, and no one else was allowed to get close.
The next morning, Ji Jiayu carried them down the mountain again, which made everyone doubt their identities once more.
What does this mean?
Yesterday they were fighting to the death, but today they're behaving like nothing ever happened.
When they arrived at the estate, the Emperor, the Minister of Revenue, the Vice Minister, and Ji Cailiang were all there.
Boxes of gold and silver jewelry were unloaded, amounting to almost half of the national treasury, which made the emperor laugh heartily.
Sure enough, Ji Yingying is the lucky star of Tianyou Dynasty. He will definitely treat Ji Yingying well in the future.
As for Rong Yi's report that Ji Yingying had taken a box of gold, he didn't mind and even gave her three more boxes of jewelry.
When Ji Jiayu carried the person down the mountain, both of them were dirty and disheveled. The Emperor thought something had happened and looked at Rong Yi anxiously.
Rong Yi was also at a loss. This... was hard to say. They were just outsiders when it came to the siblings' fight.
"What's going on here..." Before he could finish speaking, Ji Cailiang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong between Lord Ji and Ji Qingwei. Didn't my wife beat up Lord Ji the other day? This matter was started by Ji Qingwei. It was just a little squabble between brother and sister. There is nothing wrong with it."
The Fifth Prince immediately said, "Yes, Father, I saw with my own eyes that Lord Ji bit Ji Qingwei, and Ji Qingwei pulled Lord Ji's hair. The two of them were in this state because of a fight."
In the end, even the Fifth Prince didn't know whether the siblings' fight was right or wrong.
"Seriously? We need to find a reason to fight? What a load of rubbish! Typical ancient Chinese, so outdated."
"Yes, that's how people in ancient times were. You should treat yourselves with brotherly love and respect, and cherish your sisters."
[Am I crazy?! Never mind, I won't say anything more, I'm not trying to get attention.]
"Since there is no problem, then let it go. As for the reward for finding the treasure of the previous dynasty, I will bestow upon you three boxes of jewelry."
"Hehe, thank you for your great kindness."
[Haha, three more boxes for free! I'm so happy! I have to go to Liuxiangju tonight. Hehe, the most important things in life are promotion, wealth, and the death of one's husband. Pshaw, I don't have a husband, but I can order male models. Order ten or eight of them, one to massage my legs, one to massage my shoulders, one to warm my bed, and one to... haha...]
The sound made everyone present feel embarrassed. For a young lady like her to think such a thing was simply outrageous!
But no one dared to speak out; who dared to face the founding emperor?
Anyway, no one present dared to.
"Your Majesty, Prince Qi has arrived in the capital and is currently waiting for you in the palace," someone said as they entered.
Before the Emperor could respond, Ji Yingying's inner thoughts had already begun to emerge.
Why is the King of Qi in the capital instead of preparing for his rebellion in Jiangnan?
