The second prince was in a dilemma. No, no, is this woman seriously ill?
Did she use that honey trap and turn his room into a pigsty just to expose the fact that he was pretending to be paralyzed?
But he hid it so well that no one noticed it after so many years.
How did this crazy woman find out?
"Hey...what are you talking about? Who is going to give you a ton of gold? I'm going to treat you to milk or tea, I'm going to treat you to shit!"
The second prince no longer cared about the fact that he was discovered pretending to be paralyzed.
The most important thing now is not to spend money on Xiang. Not to mention that he doesn't have a lot of gold, he wouldn't give it to Xiang even if he did.
"First, I'm very angry now. Second, I'm not shouting hello, I'm shouting Xiang Hua, remember that! Third, if you don't pay me today, I'm going to break your legs, for real this time!"
Xiang Hua put her hands on her hips, her fair face puffed up in anger and looked cute.
The second prince glanced at him and sneered, "I think you are seriously ill. You are beyond help. What does the doctor say?"
"Doctor!" Xiang Hua answered without thinking.
The Second Prince: What is she talking about in Martian language? It seems she is really ill.
"Ahem." The emperor coughed and slowly took off his disguise.
Eunuch Liu stood aside and smiled awkwardly: Ahem, it was the Emperor himself who insisted on coming to eat melon, it has nothing to do with me!
The second prince was just arrogant and domineering, but now he saw the emperor suddenly kneel down on the ground.
"Father Emperor, please tell the Lord that she..."
Xiang Hua raised her eyebrows and looked at him: [At this critical moment, you are not still trying to deceive your father, are you? ]
The system also added: [I think he just wants to play dumb. He has brought shame to the royal family.]
The second prince listened to the conversation between the system and Xiang Hua, and saw that the emperor's expression was becoming increasingly ugly.
He made up his mind and hugged the emperor's legs and cried loudly, "Father, this is incredible. Lady Xiang is really a miracle doctor. She cured my years of paralysis. Look, I can run and jump now."
In order to convince the emperor more, he ran around the room and jumped in front of the emperor, each jump reaching three feet high.
"Second brother, do you think I am a fool?" The emperor's face turned pale.
Eunuch Liu covered his mouth unconsciously. Why did the emperor's face change color again?
Just now it was flickering between black and white, and now there is a purple-blue color.
Did the emperor learn face-changing specifically? His artistic attainments seem quite high!
"I dare not. I am so happy today. I decided to reward you with ten thousand taels of gold to thank her for saving my leg."
The second prince blinked at Xiang Hua frantically.
"It's just a small favor and not worth mentioning, but since the Second Prince insists on giving it to me, I will not refuse." Xiang Hua quickly came forward and acted with the Second Prince.
Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills. If you act well, you might get a fortune.
The emperor stroked his chin thoughtfully, "Oh, so that's it. If you are willing to give, then just give it. I have no money, and my treasury has no money either."
What this means is, don't even think about asking your father for a penny.
"I understand, son." The second prince thought he had deceived the emperor and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had been lying in bed for so many years, rarely went out and hardly cared about state affairs. He thought that their royal family was rich and even thought that the emperor was lying.
It's just a lot of gold, just a small amount of money, just drop a few pennies!
"Oh, by the way, since your leg is healed, you will go to court starting tomorrow and handle government affairs with the prince." The emperor said and left.
The second prince looked at his departing back and always felt that the emperor's reaction was strange.
As a father, shouldn't he be so happy and cry when he knows his paralyzed son is standing up? Why did he accept it so naturally, even... as if he had known that he was faking illness.
As soon as the emperor left, Xiang Hua spread out paper and pen on the table.
"Second Prince, please write me an IOU. It's not that I don't trust you, we are just going through the process."
Xiang Hua smiled cunningly. The second prince was not smart enough. He thought about it and felt it was quite reasonable, so he wrote the IOU without hesitation.
…
That night, the second prince received the account book from the emperor.
It records his daily expenses on food, clothing and other daily necessities over the years.
It is a thick book filled with notes and the total amount is so large that it is impossible to count.
The second prince turned pale and asked in confusion: "Eunuch Liu, what does father mean by this?"
Eunuch Liu's calm voice was filled with a hint of laughter. "The emperor means that since the second prince's legs have recovered, he must learn to be self-reliant. All this money must be returned to the emperor in the future."
"Ah... This is a robbery." The second prince's face was pale, and he knelt on the ground for a long time without getting up.
Eunuch Liu added fuel to the fire, "The Emperor also said that if you don't know how to make money, you should learn more from Lord Xiaoxiang."
"ah--"
The second prince wailed again. He suddenly remembered that he still owed Xiang Hua ten thousand taels of gold.
He took the account book sadly, grabbed Eunuch Liu's sleeve and asked, "Eunuch Liu, is my father and Xiang Hua working together to frame me? Why are they suddenly asking me for money?"
Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "How is that possible? Even if Lord Xiang wanted to cheat you, the Emperor is your biological father. How could he cheat you, right?"
The second prince thought about it and it seemed to make sense. He didn't know that the IOU he wrote would become his indenture contract in the future.
…
Xiang Hua has been eating too many melon seeds recently and has been getting a sore throat. At this moment, she really wants to drink a cup of ice-cold milk tea.
