"We'll have to wait until you take over the palace!"
"Everything I do is for your own good."
"And how could my every word and action escape your discerning eye?"
"You probably already knew, you were just waiting for me to tell you."
The Marquis of Zhenxi smiled noncommittally.
"Since we have this, let's use it. But don't use it on that little girl. That little girl is really a bit strange. The Holy Kingdom didn't send many of these as tribute, and I heard they're very expensive. Let's use them on Xu Yixuan instead!"
"As for that little girl, I have my own way of dealing with her!"
Grandpa Gao nodded, then looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
The Marquis of Zhenxi glanced at him and kicked him in annoyance.
"You old codger, just say what you have to say!"
"Don't do those fancy things with me."
Grandpa Gao nodded with a forced smile.
"Your Majesty! I'm just a little embarrassed to say it, after all, speculating on the king's thoughts is punishable by death. Well, since you've asked me to speak, then I will. Do you intend to use that girl's mother to control that vixen?"
Marquis Zhenxi was not angry when his thoughts were exposed!
He just smiled.
"That demoness, aside from anything else, is indeed stunningly beautiful, but she has no charm whatsoever as a woman."
"But her mother was different."
"She was truly a rare beauty; every move she made was captivating."
"The most crucial thing is, if I can subdue this demoness's mother!"
"Then this little vixen will have to listen to everything I say."
His idea is quite good.
However, Eunuch Gao said with some difficulty, "Your Majesty! Your idea is very good. This way, you can use both sides. However, just now when the banquet ended, I saw the Prince Consort chasing after that woman!"
"Moreover, throughout the entire banquet, the prince consort's gaze never left that woman!"
"Moreover, I heard before that the woman seemed to be very familiar with the Prince Consort and knew a lot about his past."
"So I have a very bold guess..."
"Do you think they could be from the same family?"
“I remember you mentioned before that the prince consort’s daughter was also named Lin Ru, and he had three sons before him.”
Marquis Zhenxi frowned. "It can't be such a coincidence. I asked Dayong before, and he said that his wife and sons should all be dead."
“You know Da Yong’s personality. He’s the kind of person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. I saw a little bit of what he wrote home. He ordered his parents to kill his wife and children!”
"Moreover, I have inquired about this beforehand and found that Lin Dayong's parents and brothers are not good people. If Lin Dayong really sends this letter back, his wife and children will definitely not survive."
When Eunuch Gao heard the inside story, his face was full of disbelief.
He simply couldn't believe that someone would have their wife and children killed just to climb the social ladder.
If he killed his wife to marry a better one, I could understand it a little. But why would he kill his own children? They were his own flesh and blood, his own descendants.
The Marquis of Zhenxi glanced at him and said, "You old codger, what's there to not understand?"
"For you, your own flesh and blood are the most important, but for him, as long as he is alive and his lower body is still usable, he will not lack sons and daughters."
"Climbing upwards naturally is more important."
"Although I also think he didn't do a particularly good job, I am still very willing to keep such an ambitious and resourceful person by my side."
Grandpa Gao smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
"It's because this old servant has never experienced the joy of family life. I even dream of having a child of my own, so I don't quite understand what the prince consort is doing. But if His Majesty says it's good, then it is naturally good."
The Marquis of Zhenxi kicked him again, "You sycophant! Find out for me where the驸马 (the驸马) chased after that woman!"
"And Xu Yixuan, I'm going to get him under my control today."
Eunuch Gao bowed respectfully.
"Yes, sir!"
Then he left!
After he left, the Marquis of Zhenxi sat alone in that chair, lost in thought.
***
At the gates of the national treasury!
Lin Ru affixed the invisibility talisman she had purchased at a high price to her body.
This talisman is far too expensive, and when she uses it in this world, she always feels a sense of oppression, as if the Heavenly Dao is angry. She should bring something that doesn't belong to this world to use here.
But Lin Ru didn't care anymore; she had spent most of her fortune on this invisibility talisman.
He won't be able to earn back the money he spent on the talisman unless he pulls off a big heist.
Moreover, she had been preparing for this day for a long time.
Not only did they collect all the food in the space, but they also tidied up the animals they kept there.
The purpose is to make room in the space so that all the contents of the national treasury can be stored inside.
Moreover, a large part of the reason she came here this time was for the sake of the national treasury.
If she could empty the entire palace, Lin Ru would definitely be the richest woman in the world.
Moreover, she had already extracted the identities and addresses of the officials who had given her trouble today from those young masters.
After she finishes this place, she plans to loot the homes of those officials as well.
Is Lin Ru so easy to scold?
Since she can't control what they say, she'll control their wallets.
That way, even if they take action later, those people won't have the opportunity to transfer the money elsewhere.
She became very excited when she thought about it.
Haha, they're all mine.
However, the gates to the national treasury are just too difficult to pry open!
If it weren't for the many patrolling soldiers standing at the entrance, she would have violently torn the gate down.
She thought about it!
Finally, he pulled out something that looked like a tinderbox from his pocket, opened the lid, and then wisps of blue smoke came out of it.
Lin Ru covered her mouth and nose, trying to hold her breath.
Although she was immune to all poisons, she still didn't want to smell this strange thing.
She carried this thing through the crowd, and people only saw a wisp of white smoke drifting in the air, which felt a little eerie.
And why does this taste feel somewhat familiar?
By the time they realized what was happening, it was too late.
There were several thumping sounds.
The soldiers lay down neatly on the ground.
Lin Ru picked up their sidearms, intending to stab each of them, but then thought better of it and decided against it, not wanting to commit any more murders!
What if he really becomes possessed by a demon?
