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

After hearing this, Li Yue'er said quickly: "We are willing to pay any price to make up for our mistakes. We only ask the princess to spare my son's life."

Li Shiliu sneered: “The emperor’s anger is not so easy to quell.

Some time ago, the Yellow River burst its banks, and the national treasury was depleted in order to provide disaster relief..."

Li Yue'er gnashed her teeth and said, "Princess, I am willing to pay 10,000 taels of gold."

Li Shiliu shook her head and said, "That's the emperor."

Li Yue'er gritted her teeth and said, "I'll add another 5000 taels of gold."

Li Shiliu still shook her head and said, "Fei Cui, show the guest away."

Li Yueer finally broke down. She burst into tears and said, "Princess, please, twenty thousand taels of gold, this is all the money I have."

Li Shiliu said calmly: "It's just barely enough, at least it can fill the deficit in the national treasury and give the border soldiers of the Da Chong Dynasty a good New Year.

Remember, you only have ten days to raise the money."

Li Shiliu waved her hand, indicating that Li Yue'er could leave.

Li Yue'er felt relieved and quickly got up and left.

Watching her leaving back, Li Shiliu laughed secretly in his heart, how stupid she was, did she think that money could solve all problems?

Just as Li Yue'er, feeling mixed emotions of sadness and joy, was about to step over the threshold, Li Shiliu's devilish voice sounded behind her again:

"Auntie Li, wait a minute!"

Li Yue'er paused, her heart pounding, and she leaned limply against the door as if all her strength had been drained away.

Li Shiliu chuckled and continued, "Auntie Li, I am not taking these 20,000 taels of gold from you. I am handing them over to the national treasury as money to buy your life.

Since the money was handed over to the national treasury, Aunt Li had to explain clearly where such a large sum of money came from.

You have to know that the annual tax revenue of the entire Da Chong Dynasty is not that much. Where did such a huge sum of money come from?

Aunt Li must give an explanation."

Li Shiliu said as she stood up, walked to Li Yue'er, and looked down at her with a faint smile in her eyes.

Li Yue'er's face turned pale in an instant, her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a word.

Li Shiliu patted her shoulder and said earnestly, "Aunt Li, you must think it over carefully."

Li Yue'er staggered, turned her head, bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with resentment and helplessness.

Li Shiliu smiled, walked up to her, and said softly: "Auntie Li, don't stare at me like that. Since this matter has been reported to the emperor, I am also doing things according to the rules.

You see, throughout the Yuan capital, even three-year-old children with pigtails are talking about Tong Bandhao, Tong Bandhao...

Ha ha……

At this critical moment, Aunt Li should think carefully about whether to save your son's life or protect Master Tong's future.

Smart people know when to make choices and cannot have everything at once, otherwise they will end up with nothing.

Don’t you think so?

After saying that, Li Shiliu turned around and sat back in her seat, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Li Yue'er stood there in a daze, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. She was trembling all over and couldn't utter a word.

Looking at Li Yue'er's hurriedly leaving back, Li Shiliu held her chin with one hand, and the corner of her mouth slowly curled up into an intriguing smile.

"I'm really looking forward to your choice. I hope you won't let me down."
