Chapter 332: Five Million Taels for One Head

"Don't worry, mother." Chu Qinghuang hummed, "I will protect myself."

The two stood up and left.

Returning to the Dongshang Pavilion, Chu Qinghuang told the palace attendants who followed him: "I will stay in the palace tonight and will return to the palace tomorrow. You go back first, there is no need to wait here."

The palace man resigned.

Chu Qinghuang stepped into the dormitory and looked around at the layout: "After tonight, I won't live here anymore. Thinking about it, I'm still a little reluctant to leave."

Fucang followed behind him silently, thinking that he would leave here early tomorrow morning, and he was even more reluctant to leave.

Chu Qinghuang glanced at him and said, "I originally planned to punish you, but when I think about you leaving with your father tomorrow, I can't bear it."

Fu Cang came to his senses, and instantly thought of his dereliction of duty today, and said with great shame: "This subordinate has derelict in his duty and should be punished."

"When I have time, I will visit you." Chu Qinghuang reached out and rubbed his head, "I will take you for a walk in Dongling next spring."

Fucang was very obedient: "I will try my best to think of ways to make money. Master, rest assured that I will pay back the money I borrowed from Dongling on time."

Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows and sat down on the chair: "How do you plan to make money?"

Fucang thought for a moment, "Does Master have any enemies?"

"No."

"Then..." Fucang thought for a while, "Bei Xinjiang always seemed to provoke Dongling in the past. Does the emperor have any thoughts of annexing Northern Xinjiang?"

Chu Qinghuang shook his head casually: "Probably not for the time being."

Fucang fell silent.

So far, the most valuable head he can think of is the Emperor of Northern Xinjiang. If this method doesn't work, then five million taels will be too difficult, unless he can turn the money in the Northern Xinjiang treasury into his own... Huh?

An idea flashed in Fu Cang's mind, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Can Yan Guo come up with five million taels?"

Since he is the prince of the Yan Kingdom, it would be a good idea to find a way to recover his identity and then get money from the Yan Kingdom's treasury.

Chu Qinghuang looked at him with subtle eyes: "Probably not."

The Yan Kingdom has a very small territory and has always been attached to Northern Xinjiang. It is a vassal state of Northern Xinjiang. How can there be so much money in the treasury?

Hearing this, Fucang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Yanguo is indeed small.

Besides, he actually didn't want to resume his status as a prince, so it was fine to maintain the status quo.

"Your Majesty." Mingyue led the maids in with meals, "Four servants are waiting outside."

Chu Qinghuang turned around: "Let them come in."

"yes."

Qi Ling, Wen Zhan, Zhong Jin, and Hong Yu walked in one by one. Under the light of the lights, they were all in high spirits and dazzling.

After entering the palace, the four of them lifted their robes and saluted respectfully: "I'd like to see Her Majesty the Queen, long live your Majesty!"

Chu Qinghuang said calmly: "It's so late, what are you doing here? Shouldn't Qi Ling be in the military camp?"

"Reply to Your Majesty." Qi Ling replied respectfully, "I have selected all the men. They are all brave and good soldiers who can stand alone. I have come to see Your Majesty tonight. I want to ask for a favor before leaving. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the hall.

"Status?" Chu Qinghuang raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "What status do you want?"

"When new emperors ascend the throne, the first people they canonize are the old people of Qiandi. Even if they are just called Zhaoyi, it is still a title, right?" Qi Ling's tone was particularly respectful, "I am a man, so naturally I cannot be compared with women, Your Majesty. Look at Feng."

Hong Yu said: "I also want a status."

Chu Qinghuang's eyes fell on his face, met his hopeful eyes, raised her eyebrows and said, "What status do you want?"

"I want to be the royal husband."

Chu Qinghuang's tone was calm: "Xiqi has not yet produced a queen. I need time to think about it and think about what title should be given to the men in the harem."

Fucang was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "I have figured out how to make five million taels of silver."

"Huh?" Chu Qinghuang tilted his head and raised his eyebrows with interest, "What can I do?"

"Their heads combined should be worth five million taels." Fucang's tone was indifferent and calm, as if he was talking about a normal thing. "I will ask later to see if there is anyone outside." Pay for their heads, and if there are any, my subordinates will take over the business."

Hong Yu frowned: "Fucang, did you do this on purpose?"

Wen Zhan was confused: "What five million?"

Qi Ling was surprised: "Someone wants to buy our heads?"

"Five million?" Zhong Jin seemed to have heard some incredible joke, "Our heads are not worth so much -"

"Who said that?" Hong Yu interrupted him dissatisfied, "I, the legitimate son of Prince Yu, am not worth a mere five million taels? Who are you looking down on?"

Zhong Jin was silent for a moment and then changed his words calmly: "Okay, the three of us are not worth so much money, but Xiao Yu'er's life is very precious. His head alone can be worth five million taels, so there is no need for a few of us to go there." Make up the numbers.”

Hong Yu: "..."

"If you guys are idle and bored, you can go out to find someone to fight. There is no need to come here to talk." Chu Qinghuang waved his hand, "I am tired, please kneel down."

Qi Ling sighed: "I have to leave tomorrow, so I came here to say hello to Your Majesty. I didn't expect His Majesty to be so impatient."

Chu Qinghuang frowned, and her resentful tone sounded like she was a heartless person.

"Fucang is leaving tomorrow too." She said calmly, "So can you let us stay quietly for a while?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became quiet.

Fucang is indeed the only favorite, and the others are all picked up.
