After hearing this, Jia Yunsheng suddenly realized that what their leader said made a lot of sense.
What is Mu Gu's identity? As a prince, there is no need for him to dirty his hands. Then what Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge said is self-evident.
Just as Jia Yunsheng was about to flatter his boss as usual, he heard Jia Yunshui snort at the side.
"Do you think everyone is like you? Idiot!"
Jia Yunshui was always like this, relying on his smart brain to mock and tease him.
Jia Yunsheng felt that he could not endure it any longer.
Jia Yunsheng felt that if he continued to endure it, he would never be able to get over his reputation as a "fool".
So, while Jia Jingtian was lost in thought, he quickly rushed to Jia Yunshui and started fighting with him.
"Hey! You guys... forget it..."
Jia Jingtian was halfway through his words of persuasion when he saw that the two people had already completely wrestled with each other, so he decisively gave up and quickly moved away from the fight, hoping that he would not be accidentally injured.
Jia Jingtian looked at the place not far away and fell into deep thought again. His only hope now was that Mu Gu and Xiao Ruge could bring back good news.
……
"It's so late, is your father really still awake?"
"Xiao Yu'er, don't overestimate how well a person of Dalongdi's age can sleep."
"But now it's already this time..."
"Don't worry, even if he is asleep, he will get up to see us after hearing the announcement from the father-in-law..."
"..."
Seeing how Mu Gu was so sure that Emperor Dalong would definitely meet them, Xiao Ruge didn't know what to say. She thought that if she came to nothing, she would want to see what Mu Gu would say.
Mu Gu looked at Xiao Ruge who was standing beside him with a look of disbelief, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
"Xiao Yu'er, don't you believe it?"
Xiao Ruge didn't say anything, but just gave Mu Gu a look.
"In that case, why don't you make a bet with me? If Emperor Dalong sees us, I win. If he doesn't, you win."
Xiao Ruge never made any decision without certainty, so she accepted Mu Gu's bet.
"Okay, I'll make a bet with you."
Mu Gu really thought about it seriously, and the smile on his face became more wild involuntarily, which made Xiao Ruge shudder. She always felt that this guy was thinking of something bad.
If it really comes down to scheming, she may not be able to beat Mu Gu.
"Don't go too far..."
Mu Gu smiled and waved his hand.
"Don't worry, the bet is simple. If you win, I will promise you one request, no matter what it is, I will fulfill it for you. If I win too..."
When Xiao Ruge heard this, she immediately became alert. As expected, Mu Gu was waiting for her here.
Perhaps noticing Xiao Ruge's alertness, Mu Gu laughed even louder, and his whole body began to tremble.
Xiao Ruge frowned and raised her hand to punch Mu Gu on the shoulder.
The latter covered his painful shoulder and managed to stop laughing.
"Xiao Yu'er, I won't embarrass you. If I win, you have to agree to one of my requests, but it must be within your acceptable range. How about that?"
After hearing this, Xiao Ruge breathed a sigh of relief and agreed.
But she forgot the most important point, Mu Gu was never an honest person.
……
Sitting in the Dali Temple's carriage, the two entered the palace unimpeded and arrived at the Emperor Dalong's bedroom. Just then, the chief eunuch came out of the bedroom, and the two immediately went forward.
"Eunuch, please inform my father that I have something important to discuss with you."
The eunuch in charge was also very surprised. He did not expect that the Seventh Prince would bring his wife to see Emperor Dalong at this time. Seeing their hurried looks, he thought it must be something important, so he lowered his head and responded, then turned around and returned to the bedroom.
Xiao Ruge really didn't expect that Mu Gu actually won the bet. When she looked at Xiao Ruge, the latter raised his eyebrows at her with a sly expression on his face.
Xiao Ruge immediately turned her head away as if she didn't see anything. Mu Gu's face was not smug enough, his hands were not idle either. He reached out and pinched the man's cheek as he turned towards her.
"How is it? Are you convinced?"
Xiao Ruge just snorted lightly, raised her hand to push away the hand that kept messing with her face, and spoke in a bad mood.
"You win. Tell me what you want."
Mu Gu pretended to think for a while, and just as he was about to speak, the eunuch in charge hurried down.
"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, Miss Xiao, His Majesty invites you two in."
After saying this, he walked in front to lead the way for the two of them.
After the two men responded, they followed the eunuch in charge side by side, not too far away.
The two of them started whispering to each other.
"Just owe it to me for now, Xiao Yu'er. I'll tell you my request later."
Mu Gu's voice was low and magnetic. At this moment, streams of hot breath sprayed on her neck, making Xiao Ruge shiver violently. However, there were imperial guards guarding around, so Xiao Ruge gritted her teeth to prevent herself from falling down.
Xiao Ruge looked up with dissatisfaction, and saw Mu Gu's evil smile. As expected, Mu Gu was deliberately teasing her.
"Humph, you're just lucky. You may not win next time."
Mu Gu looked at Xiao Ruge, who was baring her fangs and claws at him like a little wild cat, and felt as if something was tickling his heart. He felt that the woman he liked was indeed not an ordinary woman, otherwise how could she make him so uneasy with just one word.
"Then I will wait for that day, Xiaoyuer."
Mu Gu should be very happy, because he was the one who got the best of it anyway.
……
When the two of them walked into Emperor Dalong's bedroom together, the eunuch in charge had just lit the lights, and Emperor Dalong actually got up from the bed to see Mu Gu.
However, when the two saw Emperor Dalong sitting in front of the desk, there was no sign of fatigue on his face. This was beyond Xiao Ruge's expectations. After all, she had known from Mu Gu that Emperor Dalong had not been in good health recently.
"My son, I will meet my father."
"Xiao Ruge pays respect to His Majesty."
The two of them greeted each other one after another.
Emperor Dalong slowly raised his eyes, looked at the two people kneeling in front of him, and waved his hand gently.
"Stand up, you said you have something important to tell me?"
Mu Gu bowed again and spoke slowly.
"Replying to Your Majesty, we do have something important to tell Your Majesty."
It was one of the few times they met, and it was rare for Emperor Dalong to see Mu Gu speak so seriously, so he raised his eyes and took him seriously.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Youth and Ruge already know the reason why Dalong's treasury is empty."
As soon as Mu Gu finished speaking, Emperor Dalong's hands at his side unconsciously clenched a little, and then he straightened his expression.
"Oh? Why?"
"Father, do you know Qin Sishi from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Finance?"
Emperor Dalong's eyes relaxed a little.
"I personally appointed a minister, so I naturally know him. What's the matter? Is Qin Sishi related to the empty treasury?"
"That's right. Not only is there a connection, but Qin Si Shi was also involved in the embezzlement of silver from the national treasury."
