Chapter 1568: Su Tang, you are so dark
Princess Mingli shuddered and shook her head quickly to shake off the scene in front of her.
Then, she said, "Since sister doesn't want to recognize her ancestral roots, then don't do that. The two of us will just be sisters!"
"That's exactly what I meant!" Pomegranate said generously.
After saying this, he felt emotional again.
"To be honest, our master and several young masters are the best. They are all honest and have no ulterior motives. They are wholeheartedly guarding their wives and children and leading a good life."
As soon as Shi Liu said this, Tang Bao's face immediately filled with pride.
"Of course, the men in our Su family are always loyal." Tang Bao said proudly, "Not only does our family have a good bloodline, but we also have a good family tradition..."
Tang Bao suddenly remembered something when she said this. She changed her tone and continued, "Speaking of blood inheritance... Sister Pomegranate, can you give me a few drops of your blood?"
Shi Liu immediately rolled up his sleeves.
"Here! Forget about the blood, even the flesh is fine! Just cut whatever you want, miss."
Tang Bao smiled and rolled up Shi Liu's sleeves again, saying, "No, just a few drops will be enough."
After saying that, he pointed at the medicinal food and said, "Let's drink the medicinal food first."
Several people sat down to drink the medicinal food. Princess Mingli looked thoughtful as she drank.
"Sister Fuya, do you want Sister Shiliu's blood because she can control the Gu worms? Do you suspect that her blood is different from that of ordinary people?"
Tang Bao nodded.
"Gu worms live by sucking blood from the human body. I think Sister Pomegranate's blood must have its own unique properties!"
Tang Bao said this, looked at Princess Mingli, then looked at Shi Liu, and continued: "This may be related to Sister Shi Liu's mother."
After all, Shi Liu and Princess Mingli have the same father but different mothers. Shi Liu can control the poisonous insects, but Princess Mingli cannot.
"My mother is just an ordinary woman. I don't feel that she is any different from ordinary women." Shi Liu said, "Maybe it's because of this pendant."
Shi Liu touched the pendant around her neck as she spoke, adding, "Didn't Her Majesty say that this pendant is a keepsake from the High Priest of Southern Xinjiang? The Gu worm is originally from Southern Xinjiang. As the High Priest of Southern Xinjiang, that person must have some unique skills. Perhaps he's using this pendant to deceive the people..."
Between the lines of Shi Liu's writing, there is ridicule and dissatisfaction towards the High Priest of Southern Xinjiang.
"Um, Sister Pomegranate, actually... I tried it with your pendant." Tang Bao said a little embarrassedly, "It doesn't work."
Pomegranate: "...Oh, then it might not be because of this pendant."
Shi Liu said this with a hint of hesitation on her face.
In the end, he still didn't take off the pendant.
Tang Bao and Princess Mingli looked at each other.
Both of them understood that although Shi Liu said that she didn't care, she was probably feeling uncomfortable inside.
**
After a major purge in the court of Western Qin, all civil and military officials became obedient and showed great respect to Princess Mingli and Tang Bao.
This is not the way to go, their lives are in Tang Bao's hands.
Some people were reluctant to leave their wealth behind, and cried poor when they arrived at the government post, and the property they took with them was just a drop in the bucket.
Then they discovered that a pill only worked for a couple of days.
After a few days or three, they would feel like a cat scratching their heads, missing the best food in the world...
They also want to endure it, but - they can't help it!
So, he had to go to the government post to ask for medicine again.
Princess Linghua was too lazy to waste time talking to these people and just took out a booklet.
"Look for yourself!" said Princess Linghua.
Anyone who read the booklet was shocked.
Because the book recorded how many shops, fields, cattle, sheep, and horses they owned...
In the end, the shock on everyone's face turned to despair.
Princess Linghua and Xia Siya became busy.
Not only did they have to accept the gold, silver, jewelry, furs, and medicinal herbs sent by those seeking medicine, but they also had to keep a record of the houses, shops, and ranches they received...
"Su Tang, you've really made it!" Princess Linghua said with emotion as soon as she saw Tang Bao: "Now most of Xi Qin's assets are in your hands. Your sister, the empress who hasn't ascended the throne yet, must not be as rich as you."
Tang Bao thought to herself: Not only am I not as rich as I used to be, I'm afraid the national treasury is about to be depleted.
"Sister Fuya, how are we going to transport all these things back to Dayan?" Xia Siya said worriedly, "Those shops and ranches are easy. We can have someone take care of them and then just send the proceeds to Dayan. But with all this gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures and precious stones..."
Xia Siya said this, pointing to several rows of houses.
The house is already filled with all kinds of good things.
With so many good things, how many people would be needed to escort them so that they wouldn't be robbed?
You know, people die for money and birds die for food.
Faced with wealth that rivals that of a country, not only would the desperate criminals be tempted, but I'm afraid all the civil and military officials of Western Qin, as well as various forces, would also be tempted to rob.
After Xia Siya said this, Princess Linghua also became a little worried.
"How about we ask your sister, the Queen, to send the Western Qin army to escort us?" Princess Linghua suggested.
Hearing this, Tang Bao said calmly, "Don't worry about this matter. I have my own plans. I will ensure your safety and will not be robbed of a single ounce of silver."
When Xia Siya and Princess Linghua heard Tang Bao say this, they decisively put their minds at ease.
"Oh, by the way, have you collected all the IOUs?" Tang Bao asked.
"It's all here!"
Xia Siya said as she opened a box.
There were piles of IOUs neatly placed in the box.
Tang Bao glanced at it casually and nodded with satisfaction.
Princess Linghua said with a gloating look on her face, "Su Tang, you are so evil! Those officials and wealthy businessmen from Xi Qin will be in trouble if they run into you."
Not only did he lose all his family property, but he also owed Su Tang a lot of debt.
Before Tang Bao could speak, Xia Siya was unhappy and retorted confidently, "You can't say that. If they hadn't met Sister Fu Ya, they wouldn't even be able to save their lives! Sister Fu Ya saved their lives. It's the blessing they have cultivated for eight lifetimes!"
After Xia Siya finished speaking, her target turned to Princess Linghua.
"Just like you, if you hadn't met Sister Fuya, you would still be eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures at Tianlong Temple, and you would be worried all day long!"
Princess Linghua: "..."
She was wrong!
How could she say anything bad about Su Tang?
In the palace.
Princess Mingli was at a loss.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess, we are preparing for your coronation ceremony and need to purchase..."
"Keep everything simple!" Princess Mingli said decisively.
"Reporting to Her Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, we urgently need to send food and military pay to the border. A total of..."
Princess Mingli: “…”
"Report to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess..."
Princess Mingli: “…”
Following the minister's report, Princess Mingli's heart sank to the bottom.
Money! Everyone asks her for money!
How could she have any money?
