Chapter 143 I am a benevolent king
"Oh? How do you want to take the blame for Jiang Liu?"
Chu Wenzong spoke in a leisurely tone, sounding quite kind.
"As long as Your Majesty does not argue with my sister, it doesn't matter if Jiang He loses his life."
Jiang He answered seriously.
Chu Wenzong looked at him seriously for a long time without saying anything.
Jiang He gritted his teeth and said, "If Your Majesty is willing to let the Jiang family go, I will give you 10% more profit from future business!"
Chu Wenzong's eyes lit up.
Although he was very tempted, it would be unfair for him to snatch the 10% profit which would be used at the border.
A few seconds later, a bright light suddenly flashed in his brain, and Chu Wenzong laughed again.
He stood up with a look of joy in his eyes, walked down from the dragon chair, and personally helped Jiang He up.
"My dear, I am a benevolent monarch, and you are all loyal subjects of the Jiang family. Why do you always talk about fate? Will I take your lives because of the inner thoughts of a little girl?"
Jiang He raised his eyes and looked at the emperor in front of him, a little confused.
"His Majesty?"
"My dear, if the anesthetic that Jiang Liu mentioned is real, what does it mean to our Yu Kingdom? Do you know?"
Chu Wenzong's tone was gentle, like a kind elder greeting a younger generation.
Jiang He instantly understood what the emperor in front of him meant.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will find a way to ask Sixth Sister. If what Sixth Sister said is true, the Jiang family will definitely come up with a prescription and lend a helping hand to the border!!!"
"Well, I believe you. If the anesthetic really exists, I will not treat her badly."
Jiang He's attitude was very good, and Emperor Wenzong of Chu was satisfied.
Although... he never thought of touching the Jiang family. Even if Jiang He pretended not to know Jiang Liu's thoughts, he would not really do anything to him. Who made Jiang He misunderstand?
Jiang He was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!!!"
"Now that we have finished talking about this matter, let's talk about the next matter."
Chu Wenzong took Jiang He and sat down side by side on the steps.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiang He's shoulders, scaring Jiang He so much that he was at a loss for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I am just a businessman, I don't deserve your..."
Emperor Wenzong of Chu interrupted him and said, "My dear minister, do you know that my family Yongning is very close to your family?"
"I know a thing or two."
"My dear minister, do you know that Yongning raided my private storehouse today and took away a 100-jin purple fungus, a century-old ginseng king, and a box of top-grade deer antlers. All of these things are now in Jiang Liu's storehouse, and may have even entered her five dirty temples.
"Let's not talk about the fact that these things are out of stock, but you should know how much they cost in the market, right?"
Chu Wenzong's words came out slowly, and every word hit Jiang He's heart, making Jiang He feel a little colder.
No wonder His Majesty suddenly got so angry. Princess Yongning touched His Majesty's heart, and it seemed normal for His Majesty to cry for this.
"Your Majesty, my sister is short-sighted. Your Highness the Princess took those things over, probably just to teach her a lesson. Tomorrow I will return all of your treasures to your Majesty."
Chu Wenzong was satisfied. He patted Jiang He's shoulder, stood up, and sat back on his dragon throne.
In front of his baby, just put aside the issue of face and so on. Anyway, Jiang Er didn't dare to say anything more.
"I think so too. You should go back now..."
"yes."
When Jiang He walked out of Yu's study, his back was already wet, but he felt completely relaxed.
At the door, he walked to Jiang Li and Zhao Yi and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is not in a good mood. You two should be careful with your words."
After that, he left in a swagger.
After Jiang He left, Emperor Wenzong of Chu did not summon Jiang Li and Zhao Yi, but went to Qiwu Palace.
then.
Princess Yongning has grown up like this.
For the first time, I was asked to burn incense and greet each ancestor in the middle of the night, and every time I burned a stick of incense, I had to say a blessing of exactly 100 words to the ancestor, no more, no less.
Start over with one more word; start over with one less word.
Under the dim candlelight, Chu Lange stood alone in the royal ancestral temple, tears welling up in her eyes as she tried hard to hold back her words.
~~~
As for Jiang Youning, the first thing he did when he returned to his room was to go to sleep.
He slept until dawn, and when Jiang He came worriedly, he hadn't gotten up yet.
He learned from Chuntao that all the tonics sent by the princess yesterday had been thrown into the warehouse, and his heart finally settled down.
After Jiang Youning got up and walked out of the yard, he met Jiang He.
"Brother, why are you here to see me so early?"
"Ningning, would you like to give the tonic that the princess gave you yesterday to your second brother?
The market value of those tonics is about 50,000 taels of gold. How about I write you an IOU and pay you back in cash later?"
As he spoke, Jiang He took out the prepared IOU from his arms.
These things had already fallen into his sister's hands anyway, and he was afraid that she would be sad if she knew that she had to return these things, so he came up with this compromise.
Jiang Youning was somewhat shocked by Jiang He's words, and she had no time to open the box and take a look.
Seeing Jiang He's handsome face turned into panda eyes and looked listless, she immediately said, "Second brother, could it be that the emperor wants to go back?"
[I remember searching for some of the emperor's precious medicinal herbs, and many people were horrified, but no one had ever had the chance to see them.]
[The tonic that Chu Lange stole for me, couldn't it be those things? 】
[Isn't it appropriate for you not to get a beating? ]
