Chapter 601 Something's Wrong, the Dog System is Being So Cautious
He had a stubble beard, looked haggard, and his once healthy wheat-colored skin had turned dark.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd been working in the fields for the past three days.
Di Juexiao was very excited and placed a large bag of silver in front of Xiao Tang.
"Your Majesty, here is five hundred thousand. Please take a look?"
Seeing his serious expression, Xiao Tang stopped teasing him and had the palace servants open the money bag and count the money.
"Your Majesty, it is exactly as described."
Upon hearing the palace servant's report, Emperor Juexiao even revealed a proud expression.
Di Juexiao's thin lips curled up slightly, his expression arrogant.
He put in a tremendous amount of effort to get this money!
When he looked at Xiao Tang again, his gaze was slightly more arrogant than before.
"Your Majesty, this blood jade..."
Xiao Tang gave a slight smile and handed him the blood jade in her hand.
"If the King of Liang keeps his word, then I, too, must keep my word."
She handed him the jade in her hand.
She said slowly and deliberately, "I just don't know where the Prince of Liang got this silver from?"
The man holding the blood jade was very excited, and even seemed to be moved by his own emotions, with tears welling up in his eyes.
Despite his excitement, he didn't forget to tell Xiao Tang, "Your Majesty, I borrowed it from someone."
"Oh?" Xiao Tang nodded. "Alright, you may leave."
Di Juexiao, who had wanted to leave for a long time, thanked her and quickly departed.
After the man left, she called Yan Shi over and said, "Go and find out where he got this money!"
If it's stolen goods, then...
Yan Shi accepted the order and went to investigate.
When Di Jingling entered, he overheard Xiao Tang giving instructions to Yan Shi.
His eyes flickered slightly. "What, you gave him the Blood Jade?"
Xiao Tang stood up, heard his voice, and smiled instantly.
She walked towards him. "Yes! But King Liang has only been gone for a few days, and he looks much more haggard. I wonder where this money came from."
Di Jingling scoffed coldly: "I've already had someone investigate, but the matter of the Blood Jade ends here."
She shook her head.
He even stuck out his index finger and shook it.
[You're too naive, haha. Giving him the blood jade is just the beginning!]
After all, after several encounters with Di Juexiao, she found that he really didn't seem to be very smart.
No wonder his son looks dull and simple-minded; like father, like son.
When Di Jingling heard the inner voice, he remained silent.
Xiao Tang took his big hand and gently shook it in a coquettish manner.
“My lord, if the King of Liang truly harbors treacherous intentions, you will have to thank me after we eliminate him.”
He found it slightly amusing.
"How can I thank you? Is offering myself to you every night enough to show my gratitude?"
Snap!
Xiao Tang remained silent, causing Xiao Bao, who had suddenly entered, to trip over the threshold and fall flat on his face.
I don't know if I was frightened by my father's words or if I accidentally fell down.
I was completely stunned.
Xiao Tang turned around and saw the child, and quickly came over to help her up.
Why are you in such a hurry?
"Waaah, did I come at the wrong time?" Xiao Bao felt like a 3,000-watt light bulb.
She didn't mean it; she just wanted to see what her mother was doing and whether she wanted to play with them...
I suddenly realized that I had come at the worst possible time.
Xiao Tang was at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.
"No, my parents were just discussing important matters."
"Hmm, was that important business just now?"
Xiao Bao's dark, grape-like eyes were wet and filled with a childlike confusion.
Indeed, the adult world is very complicated.
She... couldn't understand it.
Xiao Tang immediately changed the subject: "Did you need something from me?"
Xiao Bao glanced weakly at Di Jingling.
The man was looking at her too, seemingly asking her something with his eyes.
"I...we're alright now!"
Xiao Bao ran away quickly.
After running out of the palace gate, she patted her little face.
That's so stupid!
Why does she always do these kinds of things? Her parents must be thinking she's a spoilsport.
...
The first thing Di Juexiao did upon returning to the palace was to open the Blood Jade.
His eyes were filled with an arrogant laugh.
I'm in a great mood.
For the past three days, I've been running around trying to raise the 500,000 taels.
Now we've finally overcome all our hardships!
Emperor Wu Hua heard the noise and rushed over, only to see several blood jade beads on the table.
His eyes widened in surprise.
I watched with curiosity.
Just as he reached out to touch it, Di Juexiao slapped it down.
"This is not something you can play!"
The child pouted, looking aggrieved. "Father, I just wanted to take a look."
Don't we even have the right to take a look?
Di Juexiao indeed refused to let his son see it and carefully put it away.
"You're too young to understand."
After putting it away, Di Juexiao happily hummed a little tune and walked away.
The child stared longingly at his retreating figure, a little saddened.
Lower your head.
He planned to take a closer look when it got dark!
The fourth watch of the night!
Emperor Wu Hua sneaked into the Liang King's bedroom.
Ever since his mother was divorced, his father has been obsessed with this blood jade.
He didn't care about anything else; all he wanted was the Blood Jade.
He wanted to see what was so special about this blood jade.
He sneaked into the room and found that Di Juexiao was holding Xueyu in his arms like a precious treasure.
On second thought, it was bought for 500,000 taels of silver, so it must be a treasure.
But the problem is...
Is it necessary?
He reached out to touch it, but King Liang, holding the Blood Jade, immediately turned over.
