I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night Novel - Chapter 169

169 “Right, Crown Princess?!”

“How much silver do you want?”

King Gu Han wasn’t a stingy person.

Besides, he was only giving them to her for the time being. When he found out the other party’s whereabouts, he naturally wouldn’t leave these two alive!

“I know at a glance that you’re not a stingy person. You’re not like some people, who only know how to say sweet nothings to make them happy, but in the end, he’s so stingy that he’s unwilling to pay even a tael of silver!”

Lin Suisui smiled widely and glared at Pei Qian. Her hint was obvious.

!!
“What nonsense are you spouting?! Answer King Gu Han quickly. If you continue to pester us like this, be careful that you’ll be beaten up!” Before King Gu Han could speak, the guard beside him couldn’t stand it anymore. He raised his hand and pointed at Lin Suisui as he roared.

“Why don’t you use 50,000 taels of silver to buy this piece of information?!”

Lin Suisui wasn’t frightened by the guard’s attitude at all. She played with the braid that hung down to her chest and said slowly, “Originally, I only wanted 10,000 silver taels from you, but this guard scared me, so I have to let you spend some money to calm me down.”

“You wicked woman! How dare you be so unreasonable to King Gu Han?!” When the guard heard Lin Suisui’s words, he rode forward and wanted to whip this blind woman!

“Alright, give her money!” King Gu Han raised his hand and stopped the guard who wanted to move forward. Then, he turned to look at Lin Suisui. “I didn’t expect you to be so bold!

This is the first time I’ve seen a woman from the empire that didn’t faint or scream when she saw me!”

“King Gu Han is not a monster. What’s there to be afraid of?! Besides, as a doctor, I’ve seen all kinds of injuries in the countryside!

To be honest, I was a coroner for the county magistrate for a period of time!

At that time, I was young and didn’t know the benefits of money. I only wanted to find a good way out for my husband. In the end, it seems that my husband is actually unreliable!”

When Lin Suisui mentioned her grievances, she couldn’t help but raise her hand and gently wipe the corners of her eyes. She looked fragile and pitiful.

“But you’re a weak woman. Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to protect her?!” As King Gu Han looked at Lin Suisui, he became interested in the woman in front of him.

He knew the nature of these women!

Although they were gentler and more delicate than the women in the desert, none of them were bold. Moreover, their bodies were too delicate. His female slaves died on the grassland in less than half a year.

The woman in front of him…

“I know that wealth should not be revealed. You don’t have to worry about this!” Lin Suisui raised her hand and took a thick stack of banknotes from another guard beside King Gu Han. After she counted them briefly, she put them in her sleeve.

Then, she looked at King Gu Han and continued with a smile, “The thief you’re looking for is with my husband!”

“What did you say?!” King Gu Han raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect this outcome.

Lin Suisui took two steps back and hid behind Pei Qian again as she looked at King Gu Han with exaggerated fear. “Why are you suddenly so fierce?! Could it be that you agreed to give me the silver so generously just now because you wanted to kill us and take the silver back?!”

“Little girl, I advise you to put away these thoughts! My patience is very limited!” As King Gu Han glared at Lin Suisui, he finally revealed some dissatisfaction and anger.

He had really misjudged. He actually believed that the woman in front of him was innocent and naive!

She was actually quite cunning!

“I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mr. Pei!” Lin Suisui turned to look at Pei Qian, who was standing against the temple door with a nonchalant expression. She reached out and tugged at him to ask for his cooperation.

“What do you want me to say?! That I was played by you two?!” Pei Qian turned to look at Lin Suisui with a helpless expression. “King Gu Han, let’s not beat around the bush!

“You know better than me that the thing in that person’s hand is not a treasure that you cherish, but evidence that you northern barbarians have gradually infiltrated the northern border of our empire over the years!

You can ignore everything else, but if that list and the letters of exchange are really sent back to the Imperial Court, all the arrangements that the northern barbarians have made over the years will instantly disappear!

If you want to take this back and claim credit from your father, there are naturally people on our side who want to use this evidence to go back and ask for a reward as well!

“This woman’s medical skills are not bad. Back then, I invited her to save people, but she heard something. She went back to discuss with her husband and wanted to bring that witness and evidence back to the capital to take credit!”

“Mr. Pei, what you’re saying is really ridiculous! They’re just a refugee couple. So what if they get the evidence?!

Since you know how powerful this person is, you should know that the northern barbarians have planted people in your dynasty all these years!

How can they have the chance to hand the evidence over?!”

This wasn’t because King Gu Han was arrogant, but because they had helped out in some important positions in the imperial court over the years. Although they were inferior to nobles like Pei Qian and the others, it was still possible to stop this couple from handing over the evidence!

After discovering that this important piece of evidence had been lost, he quickly arranged for an eagle to send a message. He had already blocked off the path from the northern region to the capital!

The capital was already filled with spies. The important officials of the Imperial Court had already arranged for people to keep an eye on them. As long as they encountered anyone who acted abnormally, no matter who it was, they would think of a way to detain them first!

He didn’t believe that two ordinary refugees could hand things to the Imperial Court to receive credit under such tight defense!

At this point, this sinister and cunning man was actually still using these tricks to fool him!

How despicable!

“Don’t be angry. If they were just an ordinary couple, they naturally wouldn’t be able to break through the inescapable net you set up along the way. But what if the husband of this woman in front of you is the current Crown Prince, Lu Ze and Lu Huairen?! Then what’s the so-called inescapable net?!” Pei Qian turned around and looked at Lin Suisui, who was shocked. “Right, Crown Princess?!”
