Chapter 142: The Emperor Who Turned from Joy to Sorrow~

Suddenly I felt refreshed.

After being happy for a long time, Chu Wenzong coughed twice calmly.

"Fukang, please take them back first."

"yes."

Most officials handed over banknotes. If the banknotes were not enough, they would add a few small pieces of silver. They were not heavy and could be carried by Emperor Wenzong of Chu alone.

After he saw that there was no one around, he went to the inner hall to get the key, opened the secret room, and then opened the door of the small private vault.

At this moment, he remembered that his good lady had given her treasured ginseng and deer antlers to Jiang Liu.

Thinking of this, he immediately quickened his pace and went in.

There were quite a few ginseng and deer antlers in his private storehouse, but some of them were priceless treasures presented as tributes by vassal states. Although he hid them carefully, he still had to take a close look at them before he could feel at ease.

After finding a corner to put away the small amount of money he had on hand and putting the account book on the shelf, Chu Wenzong opened a large box containing 200 kilograms of purple Ganoderma lucidum, which was his top collection.

A few seconds later, a distressed woodchuck cry rang through the small private room.

“Ahhhh!!”

"Rebellious girl! Rebellious girl!!!"

Chu Wenzong quickly opened his century-old ginseng box. The ginseng in the box was well preserved, and the ginseng roots were longer than his height.

And now...

In the large box, there is a small piece of ginseng root.

Chu Wenzong took two deep breaths, collapsed in the corner and began to pinch Ren Zhong frantically.

With red eyes, he glanced at the last box containing deer antlers.

He held on to the shelf for support and walked forward step by step.

He used up all his strength to open the box and looked inside. It was full of deer antlers, and his good girlfriend had left him one piece.

He took the piece of antler, pulled out the small ginseng, and turned out the rotten Ganoderma lucidum that was infested by insects. He once again sat down casually on the ground, holding himself tightly in his hands with a sense of despair.

Tears fell madly.

He hadn't cried despite all the things that had happened over the years, but now he was crying like a three-year-old child.

I don't know how much time passed.

With red eyes and sniffing his nose, he walked out tremblingly.

He also locked the door of the private vault again.

After earning more than 400,000 taels of gold and losing tens of thousands of taels of gold overnight, and experiencing great joy and great sorrow, Chu Wenzong's mood suddenly became unusually calm.

After sitting down on the dragon chair, Chu Wenzong spoke slowly.

"Fukang."

"The old slave is here."

Fu Kang walked in immediately.

After all, he had been with Chu Wenzong since he was a child. When he looked up at Chu Wenzong, he was sure that the emperor's mood at the moment must be brewing a storm.

I don’t know what happened.

He instinctively became more cautious.

"Call Jiang He over here."

Emperor Wenzong of Chu spoke in a light and airy tone.

Fukang nodded and immediately quickened his pace towards the side hall.

"Second Master Jiang, the Emperor invites you."

"Thank you, Uncle Lao."

Jiang He thought about the hearty laughter of His Majesty that he heard in the side hall at that time. His Majesty should be in a very good mood at the moment, and the lives of his entire family were most likely saved. The idea of ​​letting Yicheng Li disappear completely in an instant.

Fu Kang thought that Jiang Liu was favored by the emperor, empress, and princess, so he whispered to him, "Second Master Jiang, the emperor is in a very bad mood at the moment. You... wish yourself good luck."

There was a flash of surprise in Jiang He's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

He took out the purse from his waist and handed it to Fukang.

"Please enlighten me, sir."

Fu Kang did not accept it, but continued: "The emperor was originally happy today, but he stayed in his own palace for a while, and I don't know what happened. At this moment, his emotions are on the verge of exploding."

"Thanks to Master Lao for reminding me. Since Master Lao doesn't need money, I will send some good wine to Master Lao for him to taste someday."

Jiang He thanked him.

This time Fu Kang was caught. He had never had any other hobbies except drinking in his spare time.

As Jiang He was traveling, the things he had on hand were naturally things he had never tasted before.

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Jiang Er. If anything really happens, I will send someone to invite the Queen to come. The Queen likes Miss Jiang Liu very much, and I believe she will be willing to help you."

"In that case, I thank you, father-in-law."

Arriving at the door of Yu's study, Jiang He glanced at Jiang Li and Zhao Yi who were still bathing in the moonlight, and followed Fu Kang in.

"Your Majesty, I am Jiang He."

Jiang He saluted.

Chu Wenzong remained silent for a long time.

Sure enough, His Majesty is in a bad mood at the moment.

Jiang He felt that His Majesty's temper was a bit like his mother's, changing his face very quickly.

After kneeling there for a long time, Chu Wenzong convinced himself for the nth time that the tea bowl in his hand was worth a lot of money, but he didn't throw it out. He finally said slowly: "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiang He stood up and stared at Chu Wenzong motionlessly.

Is he blind? Why do the emperor's eyes look red, as if he has been crying?

"Guess... why did I call you over?"

"I don't know. Your Majesty, please enlighten me."

Jiang He stopped being so careless at this moment and became extremely serious.

"I can hear your sister's voice, and I know you are capable of it."

With a whoosh.

Jiang He knelt down again with an ugly look on his face.

"My sister is young and ignorant. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Jiang He is willing to take the blame for her!"
