Chapter 182 I'm Not Kidding You
Seeing Bi'er glaring at him again, Jin Congcong ran away: "I'll go prepare the carriage, you go to the study to find Ruo'er quickly, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with her soon."
Sure enough, in less than an incense stick of time, Xiao Yulan appeared at the door of the palace holding Bu Ruo helplessly. Bi'er was also helpless.
"Bi'er, you are right. The prince really can't beat Ruo'er."
Bu Ruo glanced at Jin Congcong and said, "You know nothing. The prince is just reluctant to let me worry and feels sorry for me because I can't see the fun."
Xiao Yulan didn't get angry when she heard Jin Congcong's words: "When he has a wife in the future, he will naturally understand."
"Wait until he gets a wife? That's a long wait, maybe even ten years."
Jin Congcong: ...
The carriage of Prince Zhan’s Mansion was big enough, and everyone got on it except Cen Nan who was driving the carriage. After all... they were in a hurry.
In the carriage
"Ruo'er, you were joking just now, right?"
Bu Ruo, who was in a good mood and chewing fruit, didn't even raise her head: "What a joke?"
"Just now at the gate of the palace, you said it would take another ten years for me to get a wife."
"Oh, that..."
"Yes, that's what I said. You are kidding me, right?"
"No, I'm not kidding you. Your true love is still ten years away."
Jin Congcong's eyes were filled with astonishment: "Ten years?! Ten years?! It will take me ten years to get married. By then I will be thirty!"
Seeing Bu Ruo nod, Jin Congcong's eyes turned: "Ruo'er, my dear Ruo'er, can you find a way to bring my true love forward? My parents are anxious to have a grandson."
Bu Ruo glanced at him and said, "Your parents won't be anxious. Master's wife is going to give birth in a few months, and it's a girl. As for whether you can get married or have children... it doesn't seem to be that important to them."
"Besides, even though your true love is still ten years away, your several bad luck relationships can come at any time, so there's no need to rush."
Seeing Xiao Yulan trying to hold back his laughter, Bu Ruo squeezed his hand and said, "Don't laugh, my Lord. I'm serious. In half a month, his first bad relationship will come. He'll fall in love with someone and be cheated out of everything. The dozens of taels of silver he saved with great difficulty will also be swindled away."
"Tsk tsk, that woman was once the daughter of an official. She tricked this fool so badly~
Jin Congcong: ...
"Ruo'er, can you tell me who that person is? I...stay away from her if I see her."
"No, the secret cannot be revealed."
"You can't reveal it. You've already revealed so much, it's not a big deal. Do you really have the heart to watch me get swindled out of all my money?"
"I can't help it, why can't I? It's not my money anyway, why should I be reluctant to give it away? Besides, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. I can tell you a little, but the important ones can't be told. You can figure out the rest on your own."
Bi'er looked at Jin Congcong, who was silent and trying hard to understand, and laughed: "Princess, with Master Jin like this, how long do you think it will take him to understand?"
Bu Ruo lowered his head and thought for a moment: "With his brain... he will figure it out once all his money is swindled away. There's nothing I can do. What's coming will eventually come."
The carriage was not allowed to pass when it was still some distance from the city gate, so several people got off the carriage and walked towards the teahouse nearby.
Looking at Jin Congcong who was thinking hard with his head down, Xiao Yulan leaned close to Bu Ruo's ear and asked softly, "Actually, Ruo'er can help him resolve his bad fate, right?"
"Yes, I can resolve it, but I won't."
Bu Ruo sighed helplessly, "He's so naive that he needs to learn a lesson and suffer some losses. Otherwise, when Wuming Mountain is given to him in the future, anyone who comes along can cheat him out of everything he has, and the whole mountain will be given away for free."
"Hey, this guy, being kind is fine, but you have to consider who deserves your kindness. The idea of believing everyone is a good person is absolutely wrong."
Xiao Yulan glanced sideways at someone and said, "Alas, I can only help you up to this point. The rest is up to you."
But despite this, Bu Ruo still asked Mo Bao to send secret guards to keep an eye on Jin Congcong. Cheating money is a small matter, but don't cheat him of his life.
Although she had a good relationship with the King of Hell, the underworld was not her own backyard after all, and it was quite difficult to go back and forth to rescue him.
Someone who is eating fruit in the underworld: Well... it's not a big deal. For the sake of these two soul-calming fruits, I can personally send the person back to you.
In the teahouse room, Bu Ruo kept pouting, "I can't see anything here. I want to go up to the city wall. Can you hold me and we find a safe place?"
"I promise I won't run around or interfere. I'll just stand there and watch, and I promise I won't interrupt. We'll just... stand not far from the Emperor."
Soon after, four people appeared on the city wall... not far from the emperor.
Jin Congcong looked at Bi'er and asked softly, "Ru'er, just watch the fun, why do you have to be by the emperor's side?"
Bi'er explained: "The princess is pregnant now, and the prince and the princess have discussed waiting until she gives birth before taking the throne."
"When the prince ascends to the throne, Beining will surely launch a massive attack given his character. By then, the prince will have to clean up the mess left by the emperor and deal with Beining, so he won't have time to spend with the princess."
"Although the current emperor's way of ascending to power was not humane, at least he has not treated the people harshly over the years."
"But if Xiao Jingrui were to take the throne now, the first people he would have to deal with would be our prince and princess. Then the princess wouldn't be able to rest and take care of her pregnancy. So Xiao Jingrui must die, and then let the emperor and his two biological sons fight for a while. Anyway, the throne will be yours sooner or later, so there's no need to rush."
"It's also fortunate that the princess caused heavy casualties to the Beining army when she went to find the prince. Otherwise, with the current civil unrest in the Great Zhou, how could Beining give up such a good opportunity?"
Jin Congcong nodded, seemingly understanding: "So today, the prince and Ruo'er are actually here to protect the emperor?"
"Protection is not the right thing to do. As long as he survives and can handle government affairs, that's enough."
Just as the four people were talking on the city wall, the emperor also saw them. Although there was some distance between them, it was not too far after all.
The emperor thought about it and decided to go there accompanied by Eunuch Li, without even bringing anyone else with him.
"Prince Zhan, Princess Zhan? What are you doing here?"
Bu Ruo rolled her eyes and said, "The Emperor has personally left the palace to deal with his fake son. We have to come and watch such a great show, but don't worry, we will only watch and not interfere. Just pretend we don't exist."
When the emperor saw Jin Congcong beside him, his desire for life arose again. According to the information he had received, this Jin Congcong was the apprentice of Doctor Du.
