Chapter 99 I Don't Want It

"Qiao Anren, how are you these days?"

The voice of the King of Qi was calm and slow, no longer as gentle and clear as it was at the Qiao family. Instead, it was more aloof and cold, keeping people at a distance.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Everything is fine."

"Are you here for the top scholar?"

Qiao Xin shook her head and said, "No, I only found out that my son won the top prize after I came to the capital. I came here for Your Majesty!"

Prince Qi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Qiao Xin to state her purpose so directly.

"Qiao Xin, do you know what you are talking about?"

Qiao Xin bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I know what I am talking about. This matter is too serious, so Your Majesty should not ask too much!"

"What's the logic behind this? Is this how An Ren asks people to do things for him?"

"Your Highness has misunderstood. Your Highness asks, and I answer, but I won't lie! Your Highness is willing to help, that's a favor, and if he's not willing to help, that's his duty. How could I force you to do that?"

"Your Majesty is very busy, and not everyone can see him. Qiao, do you understand?"

Qiao Xin nodded seriously: "I understand. I originally wanted to give Your Majesty a huge fortune. Since Your Majesty doesn't care, then just pretend that I never showed up. Your Majesty, I came to the capital just to participate in my son's wedding. If there is nothing else, I won't disturb your interest."

The King of Qi paused with his hand holding the tea, and his mouth twitched. The tea in his hand suddenly lost its fragrance!

He knew that this person would not behave for a few minutes. His true nature was exposed in just a few words!

I really don't want to suffer any injustice!

When has the King of Qi ever been so despised?

He was already somewhat displeased at this moment and wanted to ask them to go down, but he was also afraid that what Qiao Xin said about the immense wealth was true. If he missed it, and something bad happened in the future, wouldn't he be considered a person with bad intentions?

The King of Qi was going to take a step back and lower his status to negotiate, "Is it not possible for me to deliver it on your behalf? I have to consider the safety of your Majesty, and you are a person with divine power!"

But Qiao Xin firmly rejected it, "No, I am also thinking about you, Your Majesty! I worship the saint so much, I wish him eternal life, how could I have the intention to murder him.

"Your Majesty, can't you think positively? My three sons are all working for His Majesty. How can I, as a mother, hold them back?"

"So you don't trust me?"

"Of course I am, but I just don't want to give some people with bad intentions the opportunity to alienate the brotherhood between the prince and His Majesty in the future. Your Majesty, please don't ask.

If you can't pass on my message, I will ask Yun Qing to see His Majesty. If His Majesty really doesn't want to see me, then I can only say that it is God's will!"

Qiao Xin's stubborn attitude from beginning to end really caught the King of Qi off guard. But what kind of thing could make the woman in front of him boast about who your Majesty is and what kind of wealth he has not seen?

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Cao Tianshi came out from behind the screen and whispered, "Your Majesty, His Majesty summoned Qiao Anren!"

Perhaps because he had been going on for too long, the King of Qi was physically and mentally exhausted. When he stood up from his chair and walked to the door, he suddenly stopped.

"When you meet His Majesty, you must not carry any weapons! I hope what you say is true!"

Qiao Xin no longer had the silly look she had just shown. She stared into the King of Qi's eyes sincerely and said, "It is true. The heavens and the earth can bear witness to this, and the sun and the moon can shine upon it!"

........

The three of them entered the side room one after another. Tianshi Cao and King Qi went in first. After a while, Tianshi Cao came out and announced Qiao Xin to come in.

After Qiao Xin entered the room and greeted everyone, a deep male voice came from above.

"I heard that Qiao Anren insisted on seeing me and wanted to give me a huge fortune?"

Qiao Xin moved her uncomfortable knees, looked up and looked around and asked, "Your Majesty, can you be sure that these are your trusted people? Can they guarantee that they will not leak the news?"

The left prime minister snorted coldly and scolded: "Qiao, His Majesty is right in front of you, why are you trying to be mysterious? It seems that you are just trying to attract attention!"

Qiao Xin didn't say anything but straightened up and remained silent!

The King of Qi held up the teacup to cover his face and said nothing.

After a while, there was a noise from above: "You can talk as you like!"

Qiao Xin took out the paper bag from her sleeve and handed it to Cao Tianshi.

"Your Majesty, please take a look!"

When Emperor Wu nodded, Cao Tianshi walked forward and opened the paper package, only to see a handful of white grains and a red land deed inside. Looking again, weren't these the wastelands that His Majesty had rewarded the Qiao family?

"Your Majesty, this is the title deed!"

After that, he scooped up some white particles with his hand and put them into his mouth, exclaiming: "This is salt!"

Qiao Xin knelt on the ground and bowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, please take back the land that you have granted to the Qiao family in Xianshui Town. The Qiao family cannot afford such a generous gift!"

"Ha!" Emperor Wu sneered.

"Qiao, are you looking down on the reward bestowed by His Majesty? You are so bold!" The Left Prime Minister jumped up and accused.

Qiao Xin raised her head, blankly for a moment, feeling unhappy. Where did this old man come from? Why is he pretending to be so big-headed?

Before the real owner said anything, he was already jumping around, trying to frame the Qiao family with false charges whenever he got the chance.

She finally understood that this person just couldn't stand her family being better off!

"Sir, we have no grudges in the past and no complaints in the present. You are used to eating fish every day, so why are you so picky? Do you live by the sea? Why are you so nosy?

Did I eat your food, spend your money, or dig up your ancestral graves? Where did you see me disrespecting His Majesty?

A green onion stuck in a pig's nose, look at how pretentious you are! The owner hasn't spoken yet, is it your turn to jump?
