Chapter 1470: Half of the Real Gold and Silver
Fortunately, the princess was smart and saved the crisis.
His Majesty's anxious heart finally relaxed. He immediately felt that his decision was extremely correct.
Because he knew that once he agreed to Xiao Jingrui's proposal, he would lose more than just Lin Yuelan, his nominal adopted daughter. He would also destroy the trust that Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan had in him, as well as half of the Longyan Kingdom.
Besides, Lin Yuelan was a person of great ability and talent. Every suggestion she made would bring about earth-shaking changes to the Longyan Kingdom.
Lin Yuelan's a.s.sets, Lin's Hospital, the Tavern, and the large farmland in Taoyuan Village were all huge resources in Longyan Country.
If Lin Yuelan was married to the Black Clouds Kingdom, it was obvious that these things could be brought to the Black Clouds Kingdom.
Eunuch Zhang also learned from the Emperor that Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan had already found the gold and iron ore blueprints that Wen Yujing had mentioned. They just needed to confirm the exact location.
The Emperor had also said that only the Princess of Guguo could understand the various markings on the maps.
Therefore, regardless of whether it was manpower or financial resources, the princess of Guguo was especially important to His Majesty.
The most important thing was that His Majesty could feel that Lin Yuelan really respected him as an elder, just like how she respected her grandfather, Lin Deshan.
Therefore, even if it was for the sake of this sincere and pure relations.h.i.+p, he could not casually destroy the trust between them.
" Alright, you little girl, you don't need to ask Eunuch Zhang to spy on me," Yuwen Longyan said with a smile." I will listen to you!"
Even if it was for the sake of his body and to live longer, he had to listen to Lin Yuelan and not be greedy.
Lin Yuelan stuck out her tongue cutely and said," Old Emperor, on the day of the wine-tasting banquet, I'll let you taste all kinds of wine. How about it?"
Yuwen Longyan said unhappily," Then should I say thank you?"
Lin Yuelan waved her hand and said," There's no need to thank me. As long as you give me half of the million taels that Xiao Jingrui paid to me."
Yuwen Longyan was instantly enraged.
He laughed and scolded," You wretched girl, I knew it. How could you possibly send an invitation as simple as that? Hehe, now you finally revealed your fox tail!"
Lin Yuelan also smiled and said," What fox tail? Old Emperor, you have to know that I exchanged this million yuan with a medical insurance card as a gift. So, wasn't it natural for me to want half of it?"
Yuwen Longyan was speechless.
She was the one who asked people to carry the things into the palace, but in the blink of an eye, she said that she was the one who deserved them.
Yuwen Longyan said. "Those things have already been counted and stored in the warehouse. I, Eunuch Zhang, will bring you to get them later! However, cough cough" At this point, he paused." Girl, can you leave this blood coral for me?"
Lin Yuelan looked at him suspiciously and asked," Why?"
Yuwen Longyan did not say anything.
However, Eunuch Zhang, who was standing beside her, interjected," Princess, His Majesty has already given the blood coral to the Empress, and the Empress likes it very much!"
Lin Yuelan suddenly understood and said," Oh, I see."
Then, she waved her hand and said," Of course. And ah, the emperor, the old man, I only want the gold and silver. I don't need any of the treasures. You can give it away or leave it in the treasure vault."
She did not lack those so-called treasures now. What she lacked now was real money.
Yuwen Longyan was speechless.
Eunuch Zhang was speechless.
It seemed like they didn't need to ask for the blood coral in the first place.
