Chapter 227 The Origin of the Gold Medal
"Then tell me!" Zhao Lingmeng looked as if he was waiting to see how you were going to make it up.
Fushou thought for a moment and decided to cut to the chase. "It's not mine. I can't get it with my status. To be more precise, many emperors haven't given it to anyone. It was given by the founding emperor to his meritorious officials."
"How did it get into your hands? Can you give me back one?" This was actually what Zhao Lingmeng was most curious about, because this kind of thing could be said to be a true heirloom.
"Lord Jin gave it to me. I even went to the palace to check the records. It's true that these two sides haven't been used in the palace records. Each side has a special mark. If it's used, it will be recorded in the palace and everyone will know."
When Zhao Lingmeng heard Fushou say this, she also took a deep breath at the generosity of Lord Jin.
"Master Jin, you are really willing to give up."
When Fushou heard Zhao Lingmeng say this, she also smiled and agreed: "Who said it wasn't true!"
Zhao Lingmeng thought for a moment and finally asked the question on her mind, "Could it be that the founding emperor gave out a lot of this stuff? Otherwise, how could the Jin family get two pieces?"
"It's quite a lot, isn't it? We gave five pieces back then, all to the generals who helped our ancestors conquer the country. Now, the descendants of these five families are gone. Some are missing, and some have been wiped out. The two pieces from the Jin family must not have come from a legitimate source, so I dare not use them."
Speaking of this, Fushou felt a bit sad. Those great generals, so famous throughout the kingdoms, now had no descendants. She wondered if their descendants were useless, or if someone was plotting against them. Fushou thought that if someone was plotting, it would probably be the influence of the royal family. She shuddered at the thought.
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Fushou and shuddered, "What's wrong with you? Are you cold?"
Fushou leaned his head closer to Zhao Lingmeng and whispered, "No, I just suddenly remembered something terrible. You said that these great generals' mansions all had no descendants in the end. Was it because their descendants were not up to the task, or was there someone plotting something?"
As soon as Fu Shou finished speaking, she saw Zhao Lingmeng turn around and look at her.
"Someone is plotting!" Zhao Lingmeng said this with great certainty, especially after seeing these two things he had never seen before. There are not so many coincidences in this world, and something has happened to all five families.
"Then the Jin family gave it to me, what is this?"
Zhao Lingmeng thought for a moment and whispered her opinion, "I think it's probably from an illicit source. It's also possible that he discovered someone was looking for it in their mansion, so he was eager to get rid of it. The Jin Mingcheng incident might just be an opportunity. I guess they've tried many mansions, and they probably chose you after careful consideration."
You are a legitimate princess and a member of the royal family. Even if someone doubts you, they won't dare to say anything openly. It may also divert some people's attention to the royal family.
Be careful not to be schemed by those with ulterior motives. It seems that Yuanjing is a very treacherous place!"
Fushou nodded thoughtfully, "Then I don't care. I want to exchange this for Jin Mingcheng."
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Fushou who was giving her a benefit with amusement, "Then you are losing money on this business!
"Actually, I didn't promise anything else to the Jin family. I only promised to protect their children if they were in trouble and I was able to do so. And then I rescued Jin Mingcheng from you. So you deserve this share, don't feel any burden."
"I guess if you take this to exchange for Jin Mingcheng from the emperor, the emperor won't refuse." Anyway, Zhao Lingmeng still remembers Fu Shou's favor.
"What's the relationship between us? You've always taken good care of me. Talking about this makes us feel distant. I wouldn't dare use this thing lightly. It's just that useful. And I'll have to trouble Princess Funing to continue taking care of me in the future."
Zhao Lingmeng also smiled helplessly: "You! I don't know whether to say you are smart or stupid."
"That's definitely smart. I haven't told anyone about this, not even my third cousin. I only told you. Don't you think I'm smart?"
Zhao Lingmeng felt that Fushou was as arrogant as a little fox. If she had a tail, she would probably shake it vigorously: "Princess Fushou is the smartest."
Fushou gave her a look that said, "You better be smart."
"Stay here with me for lunch before going back!" Zhao Lingmeng asked this because this guy was becoming a clingy person because her third cousin had returned, and he wouldn't stay outside easily.
But this time, Fushou was beyond her expectations and agreed very readily.
"Give me a portion of all the delicious food in your house. Especially the oily ones." Fushou felt that his mouth was watering just thinking about the delicious food in Funing's house.
Zhao Lingmeng glanced at her with amusement: "Just think about it! What the imperial physician says you can't eat, you can't eat with me. How about some barbecue? Eating something lean won't affect your recovery."
Fushou nodded indifferently after hearing this, "Alright, I can't defeat you in your house anyway."
Zhao Lingmeng looked at Fushou suspiciously, "Why are you so easy to talk to today? Are you suspicious? Did you have a fight with your third cousin?"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, just miss me a little! My third cousin has accepted a position as a prefect in the coastal area. He said he wants to go to the coast to recuperate, so I'm leaving Yuanjing with my third cousin."
Zhao Lingmeng was stunned when she heard this. She thought she knew what it was about. It must be the sea salt issue she mentioned. So she whispered, "The coast! It's a good place. You should encourage your third cousin to do a good job."
Fushou was also a smart man. He looked at Zhao Lingmeng suspiciously and asked, "Do you know what it is?"
Zhao Lingmeng smiled mysteriously, "You don't even know whose daughter I am." Zhao Lingmeng thought to herself, Father, just take the blame for me!
When Fushou heard Funing say this, she immediately believed it without giving it much thought. Mainly because everyone believed that Old Marquis Zhao was deeply favored by the emperor, and Fushou believed it too: "Yes, the emperor is willing to talk to Old Marquis Zhao about everything. And it was your father who recommended my third cousin!"
"Oh, my father never told me this." Zhao Lingmeng answered very smoothly. After all, her father really didn't tell her about this matter, so she didn't feel guilty.
"I'm fine, but I'll probably be gone for many years, and I can't bear to leave you and mother. I don't know..." Fushou meant to say that he didn't know if she could come back alive to see them.
Zhao Lingmeng immediately interrupted Fushou's next words: "What are you talking about! Go to the coast and relax. There are a lot of delicious foods there, and the climate is good. Maybe you can really recover your health. When the time comes, I will give you a chef."
Fu Shou was overjoyed when she heard Zhao Lingmeng's promise. She had been coveting Funing's chef for a long time. "Are you serious?"
