Allure of a Country Maiden

After getting what he wanted, Shangguan Xuanyi said goodbye: "Your Majesty, the matter is over. I will take my leave now. I will release the second prince after one hundred thousand taels of silver are delivered to the post house."

After Shangguan Xuanyi finished speaking, Xiaoer continued: "Yes, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!"

Emperor Nangong: You pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. Can you put it another way to make people feel more comfortable?

It's just that Emperor Nangong lost a piece of territory and a hundred thousand taels for no reason. Two envoys from the Eastern Jin Kingdom and the Koryo Kingdom looked at him as if he were an idiot. He was in an extremely irritable mood, worried that he might kill someone accidentally. After killing these two people, he was too lazy to say anything. He just wanted them to disappear in front of him, so he nodded.

After hearing this, Gong Zixuan raised his hands and saluted: "Father, I will send King Rui and Princess Rui out of the palace."

Emperor Nangong nodded: "Go! It's a rare visit. I'll take them to catch up with the Crown Princess by the way."

It would be best if they could give one or two life-saving pills to the Crown Princess, and then ask for one from the Crown Princess themselves. During these days, Emperor Nangong began to feel that he was becoming more and more powerless again!

He had spent a long time with the two of them in vain today, and he felt even more exhausted physically and mentally.

The three of them walked to the door. Xiaoer stopped, patted her forehead lightly, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I forgot that I still have something to give you."

"What is it?" Emperor Nangong was immediately interested after hearing this. Could it be a life-saving pill?

In fact, what he was most looking forward to as a birthday gift from Min Zeguo was the life-saving pills. However, the things they sent were just like other countries' rare treasures, so he didn't dare to be interested.

Money and other external possessions cannot be brought to him in life or taken away in death. There is no use in giving them to him now. It would be more practical to give him something that can save his life at a critical moment.

"My maid, please pass on what you need." According to the rules in the palace, you cannot hold anything in your hands when you are meeting the Holy Spirit: firstly, it is necessary for ceremony, and secondly, for safety reasons.

In fact, Xiaoer doesn't take these rules seriously, because it shows that the emperor has persecution delusions and is always worried that someone will harm him and assassinate him.

Emperor Nangong said impatiently: "Xuan!"

Yang Liu quickly walked out of the hall holding a box.

A eunuch stepped forward and took the box from her hand.

Emperor Nangong was a little disappointed when he saw that the box was so big. It seemed that it did not contain life-saving pills. The pills only needed to be packed in a small bottle and placed in a small box.

"Your Majesty, this is what we want to show you. This is what we found accidentally."

"Send it up." Emperor Nangong frowned after hearing this, intuitively feeling that there was nothing good in it.

The eunuch opened the box and checked that the contents inside were not poisoned before placing the box in front of Emperor Nangong.

Emperor Nangong saw some account books and brochures. He reached out and picked up a brochure and opened it.

These brochures show the whereabouts of rice seeds in Zhenyang County.

The book records in detail which year, which season, which village got how many kilograms of super rice seeds.

The Zhuangzi where these seeds were planted was owned by Gong Qinghua and his confidants.

There is Zhuangzi in Zhenyang County, and there is Zhuangzi in Nangong Kingdom.

I remember clearly how much each village produced each season and how much grain it had in storage over the years.

Emperor Nangong flipped through page after page, his face getting paler and paler!

Over the past few years, Gong Qinghua secretly hoarded so much food! And he has been hiding it from his father, what exactly does he want to do?

The answer is self-evident!

Emperor Nangong couldn't believe that the prince he had loved for many years was actually coveting his throne!

The emperor was so angry that his face was darker than ink.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Xuanyi raised his hands and saluted again: "Your Majesty, this junior has resigned. I will release the second prince as soon as possible."

The emperor's face became even uglier after hearing this. He regretted it now. Why did he have to cede land and pay compensation to save such a traitor!

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have saved him and just let them handle it!

Originally, he thought that the traitor kidnapped Princess Rui to get the rice breeding recipe, and then gave it to him as a birthday gift.

For this reason, although he was angry that he was not careful enough and was caught out, and eventually had to cede the land to pay compensation, he did not feel that it was wrong for him to rob people.

Now it seems that his love has made him have thoughts that he shouldn't have!

Gong Zixuan saw that Emperor Nangong's expression was not right, and he was a little worried about his health, so he said: "Father, your face is not very good. Do you want to be declared the imperial doctor?"

Emperor Nangong waved his hand: "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. Please step back!"

"My son, you should stay and take care of your father!"

After hearing this, Emperor Nangong felt warm in his heart: Fortunately, he still has a son who truly cares for him.

But these booklets cannot be seen by him. Emperor Nangong said: "No, I still have to approve the memorial. You can leave!"

Emperor Nangong approved the memorial and didn't like to be disturbed. After hearing this, Gong Zixuan had no choice but to leave.

After the three of them walked away, Gong Zixuan couldn't help but ask: "Princess Rui, what is the booklet you presented to my father just now about?"

"Where do you think all the rice seeds in Zhanyang County have gone? How much food do you think a county can grow with its seeds in a few years?"

Where did you go? They came this time with Gong Qinghua in tow. His father's face looked so ugly just now. It was obviously a heavy blow!

Gong Zixuan's eyes widened when he thought of this. This was so shocking!

A Ji'er Island could bring evidence of Gong Qinghua's rebellion, and suddenly he felt his heart no longer hurt! After all, Ji'er Island is just useless in Nangong Kingdom.

But if he could make his father dislike Gong Qinghua, he would no longer have to worry about his position as prince being unstable.

He bowed to Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiaoer: "Thank you King Rui and Princess Rui for your help."

Xiaoer waved her hand: "You're welcome, as long as you treat the princess well."

"This is what it should be. Now let me take you to see Wanru!" Gong Zixuan said with a smile after hearing this.

Shangguan Xuanyi refused: "There's no rush, it's getting dark soon, so let's visit again tomorrow! We still have to go back to the inn to collect the money, one hundred thousand taels of silver, and we have to find a way to transport it back to the country as soon as possible."

Gong Zixuan: "..."

He finally figured it out. These two people were sure that they had planned it for a long time. If they had shown the contents of the box to their father before telling them about Princess Rui being kidnapped, they probably wouldn't have had to cede the land and pay compensation. Got it!

Gong Zixuan thought of this and felt complicated again as he watched them leave.
