Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone immediately felt a chill and kowtowed, not daring to speak.
The emperor’s words were like a guillotine hanging over their heads at all times!
After all, no one would have thought that the emperor would have such a hobby.
Bringing along the princess with him and hiding their ident.i.ties, pretending to be a guest to gather information. What a ruthless person!
With this, who would dare to bribe government officials in the future? Who knew if the emperor was watching from the shadows!
Sheng Tingchun recovered from her shock and wailed, wanting to beat Ji Zi up.
“It’s all your Ji family’s fault for implicating my father! I’ll beat you to death!”
Ji Zi screamed and clawed at Sheng Tingchun with her nails. “Your father was the one who was insatiable first. He already took the money, but you guys are still pushing the blame on him. You’re really despicable!”
The two of them fought, and the people around them couldn’t stop them even if they wanted to.
For a moment, no one dared to stop them.
The hidden guards watched coldly until Sheng Tingchun let out an agonizing cry.
Her left cheek was scratched by Ji Zi’s nails, and a few drops of blood dripped down from Ji Zi’s fingers. It was a shocking sight!
Only then did the hidden guards go up, pull them away, and take them away separately.
Along the way, Sheng Tingchun’s curses kept on ringing out.
Meanwhile, Gu Nuo’er was already carried out of the Ji Manor by her father, leaving all the noise behind.
Today, the father and daughter had gone through a series of battles and seized a total of 30,000 taels of silver from Ji Yongw.a.n.g’s manor. They also seized countless shops and land.
Gu Yihan was overjoyed and immediately instructed his trusted hidden guard, “Put 20,000 silver taels into the national treasury. Leave the remaining 10,000 silver taels for Baby Nuo.”
As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed his daughter’s soft hair.
“My dear daughter has made an extraordinary contribution by accompanying your father out today. This is a reward for you.”
Just now, he was really proud when he saw Gu Nuo’er challenging everyone with her small and chubby body.
His Baby Nuo was only three years old, but she already had a fearless disposition in the face of danger.
Not only were her words clear, but they were also coherent.
As expected of his precious child!
Gu Nuo’er raised her fair and rosy face, feeling very happy. She clapped her hands and said, “Father, are you giving them all to Baby Nuo?”
The child started counting with her fair and soft fingers. “Second Brother said that 20 taels of silver can allow a family to not worry about food for a year.
“If Baby Nuo wants to give away the money, I can give them to one, two, three…”
In the end, her eyes became even brighter. “Baby Nuo can let many people eat their fill!”
Gu Yihan laughed and tapped the tip of her nose. “You only think about giving it to others and not saving it for yourself?”
Gu Nuo’er shook her head and said very honestly, “There’s no need for that. Second Brother and I have a hidden treasure trove. There are endless treasures inside!”
Gu Yihan raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
His daughter was still young, so how would she know what a real treasure trove was?
When she was older, he would bring her to see his private treasury.
At this moment, the second prince was revising in the palace.
Suddenly, he sneezed for no reason. He rubbed his nose and wondered, “Did I catch a cold?”
At the side, Concubine Yi scolded angrily, “I asked you to study and you’re trying to pretend to be sick! Don’t think about slacking off this time. Hurry up and study!”
On the other side, Gu Yihan had just boarded the horse carriage with Gu Nuo’er in his arms when someone hurriedly chased after him. “Your Majesty, Your Highness!”
The father and daughter turned around and realized that it was a group of girls in tattered clothes!
“They are the little older sisters who were locked up in the Ji Manor!” Gu Nuo’er waved.
The girl in the lead knelt first. Immediately after, the girls behind her, who had also been imprisoned, also knelt one in succession.
They kowtowed solemnly in the direction of the father and daughter to thank them for saving their lives.
