Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 386
Chapter 386 Have A Bad Idea
These memorials also mentioned that the floods in Northern Qi needed help, and even mentioned that the enemy invaders in the border areas needed food and relief!
To put it bluntly, it was still money! He needs money!
“Someone! Quickly take me to see how much money there is left in the treasury!” Qi Delong shouted again.
A eunuch immediately ran over and said, “Your Majesty, please.”
The two of them went to the treasury and saw that there was a box of silver notes in addition to some jewelry sent from other countries.
The jewelry looked like it was only worth 100,000 taels of silver, so it wasn’t enough to relieve the anxiety!
Qi Delong asked someone to open the chest to take a look, and his eyelids twitched a few times. He walked in and found that it was not a silver bill at all! It was an IOU!
“Ah!” Qi Delong was so angry that he cried out. He picked up the IOU and threw it on the ground. A cold wind blew in from outside. The IOU flew around the room. Qi Delong, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, was wrapped in the IOU. He looked rather desolate.
Normally, Qi Sheng didn’t lack anything, spending thousands of taels of silver on food and clothing a day, but who would have thought that he would secretly do something and owe so much silver! And Qi Sheng actually concealed it so well, never revealing any news to the outside world! He thought that not only had he obtained the throne, he had now obtained a pile of promissory notes!
“Your Majesty, don’t be angry. Take care of your dragon body is the most important thing.” The eunuch beside him lowered his head and said.
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear you speak!” Qi Delong said with a grim expression. He staggered and almost fell down. The eunuch immediately ran to help him.
Suddenly, a person ran in at the door with a note in his hand. Qi Delong glanced at it and knew that it was an IOU. He asked, “Whose IOU is this? Why is it still here today?”
The eunuch trembled and said, “Your Majesty, this is an IOU from the Imperial Hospital. Three years ago, the Emperor had made the Imperial Hospital remember the IOU. It was repaid once a year. Last year, it was 300,000 silver taels. Now it is the beginning of the year, and it is almost time to repay it. Today’s IOU is for Imperial Concubine Li’s medical treatment …”
Three hundred thousand taels of silver! Why didn’t Qi Delong receive 10,000 critical hits? His brows were knitted tightly. The eunuch beside him calculated this debt note and discovered that there were more than two million due!
The surplus of the Royal Treasury in the past ten years might not even be two million silver, but he still owed two million silver! Moreover, many promissory notes were about to expire. In order to protect their royal reputation, they had to be repaid!
Qi Delong suddenly thought of something and sighed, “No wonder Qi Chengfeng is unwilling to be Emperor! I think what he said before is true!”
In an instant, Qi Delong suddenly understood that he had always been competing for the throne, and he even treated Qi Chengfeng as his opponent. How ridiculous! Qi Chengfeng had no intention of becoming an emperor, but now he had forced him to become an enemy!
If they were still brothers, Qi Chengfeng would definitely be able to support him, but now, he was the only one who could repay the money! How could he return it! Even if he drained his bones and blood, he wouldn’t be able to sell this silver!
Qi Delong sat paralyzed on the ground, allowing the cold wind at the door to slap his face.
At this moment, the man Qi Chengfeng, who he regretted, was sitting in the washed Third Prince’s Mansion. The two of them prepared some delicacies to bring to the Zhu Mansion.
Qi Chengfeng said, “Why do you suddenly want to go to Zhu Manor?”
“Senior Brother is the Crown Prince of Yan Country. If you want to become the monarch of Xia Dynasty, you need some help no matter what.” Su Wanwan said.
Qi Chengfeng understood this. Mr. Zhu was the Emperor’s Headmaster and a good friend of the previous Emperor. If he supported Beichuan Fengliu, it would be great.
When Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng arrived at the Zhu Mansion, the servant who got off the carriage led them to the door.
Not long after the two of them left, they sat down in the lobby and said, “Wait, my lord is teaching our students.”
“En, there’s no hurry.” Qi Chengfeng said.
The servant poured tea for the two of them. Su Wanwan picked up her teacup and looked outside the door. Suddenly, she discovered that the sun was shining brightly today. The trees outside were beginning to shoot out, full of spring.
While Su Wanwan was drinking tea, she suddenly saw a beautiful and lively girl. She was dignified and graceful, but also charming and lovely.
“What are you watching?” When Qi Chengfeng saw that Su Wan was also staring out, he suddenly saw Zhu Yuexiao walking under the tree, looking like he was waiting for someone else.
“Third Prince, Third Prince Concubine, do you want me to invite Miss over?”
“No need.” Su Wanwan said.
The servant nodded and tactfully stood aside.
Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng exchanged glances and laughed. “I guess she’s waiting for her sweetheart,” Su Wanwan said.
“I… Same as above.” As Qi Chengfeng spoke, he took down the herbal tea in Su Wanwan’s hand and replaced it with the hot tea in his own hand. “Wife, this tea is not bad. Today’s play … is not bad either.”
Both of them looked outside. After a while, a handsome young man appeared outside the door. The young man was only wearing blue and white clothes. The three thousand strands of green silk were tied up by a blue cloth. As he walked, it was like a scenery that attracted people’s attention.
Surprisingly, it was Beichuan Fengliu!
Beichuan Fengliu grabbed Zhu Yue’s hand, and the two of them went to the side courtyard to sit idly, leaving Su Wanwan and Qi Chengfeng’s line of sight.
The two of them looked like a pair of jade figures, but Qi Chengfeng was worried. He frowned slightly and wanted to say something in his heart. He looked at the servant and tactfully left.
“Wanwan, do you still remember Zhu Yue’s strange behavior?” Qi Chengfeng asked.
“I remember.” As Su Wanwan spoke, her brows furrowed. “Actually, I can guess why even if you don’t tell me. Zhu Yue is a man, but there are two souls in his body. One is a man and the other is a woman, right?”
“Right.” Qi Chengfeng nodded. “Zhu Yue is clearly a man. It’s impossible for Beichuan Fengliu to not be able to see him clearly. Based on my understanding of Zhu Yue, Zhu Yue should be a man these days, but I don’t know why they actually …”
“Pu!” When she thought of this situation, Su Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you saying that Zhu Yue, who is a man, also likes his senior brother?”
“Yes.” Qi Chengfeng nodded and sighed, “This matter is too shocking.”
“In front of true love, who can be sure?” Su Wanwan sighed. The two of them felt a little sad.
Suddenly, Su Wanwan was surprised to see someone leading her from the courtyard gate. It was Qi Delong’s figure!
The two of them thought for a moment and immediately got up to chase after him.
Turning around the corner, after passing a few courtyards, they arrived at a deep courtyard. Inside, there was a clear sound of books. Qi Delong stood at the entrance of the courtyard and talked to an old gentleman. Judging from the old gentleman’s appearance, it was undoubtedly Mr. Zhu!
The two of them stopped and listened to what the two of them were saying. When they heard this, they were stunned.
Qi Delong said, “Mr. Zhu, Miss Zhu hasn’t been married, has she? I’m happy with her. What time do you think is the best date for the wedding?”
It seemed that Qi Delong had actually set his mind on Zhu Manor in order to stabilize the throne. Su Wanwan frowned and thought to herself, She must stop it!
