After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

"pat...pat..."

The crisp sound echoed in the silent air, as if telling some secret. The fingers of the Guardian Emperor gently fiddled with the Hetian jade beads in his hand, and his eyes were deep and restrained, making it difficult for people to peek into the mystery.

"Hmph..." Emperor Jiade sighed softly, with a hint of disdain and dissatisfaction in his voice.

His gaze fell on Princess Sheng'an Li Shiliu, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"Wealth and honor are fascinating, and no old lady in the whole mansion can understand it.

Sheng An, what do the other people in Yueguo Mansion say? "

Li Shiliu bowed her head slightly and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, Lord Tong is far away in Xingcheng suppressing bandits, and he probably hasn't heard about what happened in Duke Yue's mansion yet.

However, his favorite concubine wrote a letter to Lord Tong, begging him to save them and their two children.

If we hurry up, Mr. Tong should receive the letter within 5 days.

In addition, Master Tong’s favorite concubine, Aunt Li, came to me privately two days ago and said that she was willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold to save her son Tong Wencai’s life.”

Hearing this, Emperor Jiade's expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of surprise and confusion. He slowly put down the jade beads in his hand, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"what?

A ton of gold?"

There was a rare tremor in Emperor Jiade's voice, and he was obviously shocked by the number.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Li Shiliu carefully, trying to find the answer from her expression.

"Ten thousand ounces of gold...

A ton of gold...

What a fortune...

What a great Nine Gates Admiral...

What a good Tong Banchao...

He is truly my good uncle..."

Emperor Jiade murmured to himself, his voice full of emotion and amazement. A complex emotion surged in his heart, with both admiration for the power of money and disappointment in human greed.

Sheng An stood quietly aside, watching the reaction of the Guardian Emperor. She knew that this news was undoubtedly a huge shock to the Guardian Emperor, and might affect the situation of the entire court, and would also push the prosperous Yueguo Mansion further into the abyss of destruction.

“Since they are willing to spend it for a useless son, then you should take the gold and keep it at Tencent for the time being.

Forget it, at least for the old lady's sake, I will give the Tong family one last chance.

See what my good uncle, the great Nine Gates Admiral Tong Guoan, will choose?"

Emperor Jiade said indifferently.

It was obvious that Emperor Jiade already had plans in mind for Duke Yue's Mansion.

But this time, Duke Yue's Mansion is really on the verge of collapse.

…………

After leaving the Imperial Study, Li Shiliu came to the gate of the Imperial Palace. There were two tall and handsome men standing in front of her carriage. She opened the curtains and saw that it was Dali Temple Minister Meng Qisui and Nanyang Yao standing side by side.

Li Shiliu was puzzled: "How did the two of them get together?"

Just as she was thinking, Nanyang Yao said, "Princess Sheng'an, please stay."

However, Li Shiliu ignored him and instead looked at Meng Qisui and asked, "What does Lord Meng want to talk to me about?"

Meng Qisui replied: "There has been new progress in the case of the missing fugitive slaves from Duke Yue's mansion. We still need Princess Sheng'an to cooperate with us in investigating and collecting evidence on some details of the case. Princess Sheng'an, please move over and talk to us."
