"I'm afraid I can't save you."
Wanwan raised her eyes, a look of deep disappointment in her eyes, "One month at most."
When the Prime Minister heard this, it seemed as if the last bit of hope was shattered in that instant.
"Little...Princess..."
What people fear most is not death, but waiting to die. He actually knelt on the ground and began to kowtow, "Little Princess, please. I'm willing to pay any price, even if it means giving up all my wealth, as long as it can save my life. I'll do it."
"Okay, then you should resign and return home."
Wanwan looked at him and said, "You are a smart man. Consider the current situation in the court. Consider how you treated my grandfather before. If you want to live, resigning is your only option."
"But if you resign, you must leave cleanly. You said you would give away all your wealth. If you take anything with you, you will suffer the consequences."
Wanwan said, "Put all your money into the national treasury. I will ask Grandpa to pardon your crime. I know exactly how much money your family has. You only have one chance."
[Hmph, you're kidding. The people of Nanyue are living in dire straits, yet later, the new emperor unexpectedly discovered over 50 million taels of silver in the Prime Minister's residence. This corrupt official...]
"Princess, even if the Prime Minister's Mansion spends all its money, it only has more than five million taels of silver." The Prime Minister had a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
"Fifty million taels of silver, after you turn them over to the national treasury, I will spare your life."
Wanwan looked down at him as if she were looking down on everyone. "Prime Minister, are you still trying to play tricks on me? Go back and count. Do I know your family's accounts better than you do?"
Wanwan smiled. Actually, saying over 50 million taels was an understatement. After all, who knew how much each family member had hidden in their private vaults.
The Prime Minister felt his scalp numbing. This little girl must have been sent by God to torture him!
How much does Wanwan know about him?
Why do I feel like all the civil and military officials in the court are naked in front of this child?
"God knows that everything must be repaid."
Wanwan stared at the sky. "When you went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, you left your wife of ten years at home. Later, you became the top scorer in the imperial examination, and then your wife came looking for you. But by then, you had already married the daughter of a prominent family."
"You despise your first wife for being ugly, powerless, and for not bearing you a child. But you don't want to be cursed for the rest of your life."
"So you put your wife in a private house. You provide her with good food and drink, and you hire maids and servants for her, but you don't let her into your mansion where the top scholar lived."
"She caught a cold, but you gave her a chronic poison. Her cold got worse day by day."
"She died in the house, and you cried bitterly, sending her back to her hometown for burial. You said it was because your wife loved the land back home."
"You thought you did these things perfectly, and everyone thought you were the best man in the world."
“Even you think you’re good, but…God sees it all.”
Wanwan smiled and said, "God is watching what you do! You can hide it from everyone, but you can't hide it from God."
The Prime Minister knelt on the ground with an expression of disbelief on his face.
These things are unknown to almost everyone.
No one has checked how his first wife died, and no one has paid attention to her death.
He was moved by himself because he took great care of his wife before she died.
Even the poison is extremely slow, almost seamless.
Everyone felt that his original wife was not worthy enough to enjoy such immense wealth.
But he couldn't hide it from Wanwan.
Xia Mochen on the side also fell silent. Why did Wanwan know all this? Could she peek into people's thoughts?
But that’s right, Wanwan is the daughter of the Emperor of Heaven!
It’s actually not particularly strange that one can see through everything in the world and peek into people’s hearts.
"I'm leaving. Do you want your life or your money? Think about it yourself."
"But I believe that even if you leave the money to your wife, your property will probably change hands."
"You might as well take the money and go home to enjoy your retirement."
Wanwan looked at him quietly, "You should know better than me how to choose."
"Brother Chen, let's go."
Xia Wanwan stood there, Xia Mochen quickly came over and hugged him, then flew away.
"Ask grandpa to give me some chicken legs tonight."
Wanwan smiled and lay on Xia Mochen's back, not knowing when she fell asleep.
I even dreamt of chicken legs, and my saliva flowed all over Xia Mochen's back...
Wanwan woke up only when she was having dinner that night.
Sure enough, when Xia Mochen heard that Wanwan wanted to eat chicken legs, he quickly told King Nanyue that Wanwan liked the chicken legs he made the most.
So when I was eating, I found a table full of chicken legs.
Although the shit her grandpa dealt with every day was more horrible than the shit her dad dealt with all day.
However, he would cook for Wanwan from time to time.
However, her grandfather seemed a little unhappy today, and he had no appetite for the delicious food on the table.
"Grandpa, I want to tell you something very happy. Before I tell you the good news, let me first guess why you are unhappy."
Wanwan thoughtfully poured a glass of wine for grandpa and picked up some dishes for grandma and mother.
"Hmm? Guess?"
The King of Nanyue looked up and seemed to forget all his worries when he was with Wanwan.
"The treasury is empty, the south is suffering from a severe drought, and the people have no harvest. Many people can't eat, but you can't pay them. Do you suddenly feel that you have taken power? It's quite a headache, right?"
Wanwan smiled and said, "It seems like the Regent and some court ministers are ready to laugh at you, but you can't do anything about it, right?"
The Nanyue King's expression changed. "This...you didn't go to court with Grandpa, how did you know?"
"Someone has paid for this for you. Don't worry, you should have the results tomorrow morning."
Wanwan smiled and said, "Why are you in a hurry? I'm here with you. You can sleep when you need to sleep. You can play when you need to play. If you need to take Wanwan for a spin, just take Wanwan for a spin."
It seems that everything the child does is cute. After dinner, Wanwan played hide-and-seek with her grandparents for a while, and then went to sleep.
I didn’t notice it before, but now I find that the way these kids play is really interesting.
Maybe it’s because she is still a baby psychologically.
Most of the time, the King of Nanyue treated her as a child and played with her.
Every night when she went to bed, she dreamed that her father was coughing badly.
Alone in the palace, feeling so lonely!
Wanwan suddenly felt a little guilty. Should she go back?
Early the next morning, after washing my face and brushing my teeth, I could only think of today's onlookers.
Wanwan took Xia Mochen to eavesdrop again...
"My dear ministers, the national treasury is empty. Do you have any good ideas?" said the King of Nanyue.
No one spoke, and the treasury was naturally empty. They had embezzled an unknown amount during the regent's reign.
They all made a fortune, but now they are putting the monarch of Nanyue Kingdom in trouble.
It seemed as if all the court officials were laughing at him and wanted him to give up.
The King of Nanyue's face was extremely ugly, and he said coldly, "Ministry of Revenue, you speak!"
