A three-and-a-half-year-old max-level ancestor, mistakenly bound to a system to be de

Chapter 70 Emperor Xuanhe: What a Duke of Lu! He stole a pig from me, but he gave me back a chicken?

So, the Duke of Lu stood up, gave Yue Jinyu a cold snort, and then turned and left.

Yue Jinyu: What's the use of you glaring at me, you old man? You raised a grandson like Lu Qizu, shouldn't you reflect on your own behavior first?

The madam soon arrived with Liu Shishi.

The madam was startled when she heard Huaxi and the others reveal the little boy's identity.

She had considered that the child might be of an even higher status than Prince Li, but she never imagined that he would be Princess Fuqing.

If it is Princess Fuqing, then indeed, Prince Li should call her "Grand Ancestor".

Everyone in Daqing knows about Princess Fuqing.

Although the madam worked at the Hundred Flowers Brothel, she was also in the capital, and she knew about any news coming from the palace long beforehand.

Therefore, she was also aware of Princess Fuqing's extraordinary abilities.

Upon learning that Huaxi had caught the eye of Princess Fuqing and had been brought back to the palace, Prince Li now wanted to redeem her.

The madam was overjoyed.

"Huaxi, you've hit the jackpot! It's your good fortune to be favored by Princess Fuqing. You must cherish this opportunity and don't forget your mother in the future."

The madam naturally agreed to Yue Jinyu redeeming Huaxi, and didn't make things difficult for her. After all, she wanted Huaxi to take good care of the people at their Hundred Flowers Pavilion in the future.

As for Liu Shishi...

“Shishi, did you hear that? The person who took your picture is Princess Fuqing.”

"Although it was just one night of filming, you saw it too: Huaxi was taken a liking to by her and was redeemed from her servitude."

"If you work hard, you also have a chance."

"This is an opportunity that God is giving you, so don't miss it."

"Anything is better than staying in the building."

Liu Shishi was stunned.

Princess Fuqing?
To be honest, Liu Shishi had never seen what Princess Fuqing looked like.

But she knew about the rumors surrounding Princess Fuqing.

Although she is only three and a half years old, the whole of Daqing knows that she is a lucky star sent from heaven, someone who changed the fate of Daqing the moment she was born.

Now that she has awakened again, she seems to be subtly saving Daqing.

That was an amazing person.

Liu Shishi never imagined that she could be associated with such a distinguished person.

At that moment, for some reason, a glimmer of hope rose in Liu Shishi's heart.

She wondered, could Princess Fuqing be the one she was waiting for, the one who would save her?
Meanwhile, Sui Sui has already returned to the palace.

Just ...

The moment she returned to the palace, she was caught red-handed by her emperor nephew.

Now he has been summoned to the Imperial Study.

Facing the emperor's nephew with a dark expression, Sui Sui felt a little guilty.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Sui Sui is leaving the palace on a mission to help you."

Sui Sui quickly explained that she hadn't lied.

She was on her way to complete a mission: to deliver dolls and money to the emperor's nephew.

Emperor Xuanhe sighed, "Little Princess, I'm not angry about that. I'm angry about that Lu Qizu. He actually dared to assassinate you. He's incredibly audacious."

Emperor Xuanhe slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Heaven knows how shocked and furious he was when he heard the secret guards report that Young Master Lu had openly attempted to assassinate the young princess.

"Little Princess, I heard that this Lu Qizu has killed quite a few people."

"I will cut off that Lu Qizu's head right now!"

As he spoke, Emperor Xuanhe was about to issue an edict.

Just then, Liu De rushed in.

It is said that the Duke of Lu is seeking an audience while he is away.

Emperor Xuanhe sneered, "His good grandson has committed such a treasonous act, and he still has the nerve to come here? He won't see him!" "Yes."

Liu De left quickly.

But not long after, Liu De came back in.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Lu said that he knows his grandson deserves to die, but he begs Your Majesty to spare him in consideration of the Lu family's hard work and dedication over the years for Daqing. He is willing to offer 50 taels of silver, and he is also willing to pay money to appease those who were killed by Lu Qizu."

50 taels of silver?!
Emperor Xuanhe gasped.

"It seems that this Lu Qizu is indeed the Duke of Lu's precious darling."

They even managed to come up with 50 taels of silver.

This Duke of Lu is richer than the entire Emperor of Daqing.

His private treasury and the national treasury combined don't even have that much silver.

For Daqing, if it wants to develop and reform, money is the most important thing.

This Duke of Lu has his life in his hands.

How to do?
He wanted to kill Lu Qizu.

But he also wanted those 50 taels of silver.

Is there a way to have the best of both worlds?
Just then, Sui Sui's voice rang out, "The emperor's nephew, confiscate his property!"

Emperor Xuanhe: What? You want to directly confiscate the Duke of Lu's mansion? Is that even feasible?
"He's a tomb robber!"

"A hidden gold mine!"

"They're richer than a country!"

"Wh-what!" Every word Sui Sui uttered made Emperor Xuanhe's heart pound with fear.

The emperor's nephew seemed somewhat confused.

Sui Sui immediately read out the words that she had seen floating above the Duke of Lu's head in the private room.

Fortunately, she has a good memory and remembered everything.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xuanhe was immediately enraged.

"I never expected that the biggest fish in Daqing would be right under my nose."

"Tomb raiding?! The Lu family actually did such a thing. No wonder they only have Lu Qizu left as their sole heir." Moreover, Lu Qizu clearly couldn't support the Duke of Lu's mansion.

"They even secretly kept a gold mine!"

Emperor Xuanhe felt a sharp, throbbing pain in his heart.

That's a gold mine.

Under heaven, all land belongs to the king.

That gold mine belongs to Daqing, and to the emperor himself.

God knows, he was thinking all day long about how to be frugal and how to make more money.

As a result, the Duke of Lu actually stole his gold mine openly!
That's not as simple as a gold ingot or a silver tael.

Gold mine!
That's worth many times 50 taels of silver!
What a fine Duke of Lu!
It's like stealing his pig and now demanding he return a chicken, plus the release of his precious grandson?!

Tolerable or unbearable!
"Little Princess, do you know where that gold mine is?"

"And do you know which tombs were destroyed in the Duke of Lu's mansion?"

Sui Sui nodded and quickly told him.

Although it's a lot, it doesn't matter. Sui Sui has a good memory, and she knows that saying it will help her emperor nephew.

As Sui Sui spoke, Emperor Xuanhe had someone record it.

The gold mine is located quite far away, but that's not a problem.

However, those tombs that were looted...

Emperor Xuanhe knew that a tomb that caught the eye of the Duke of Lu must be extraordinary.

Unexpectedly, this Duke of Lu even dared to rob the tomb of the former emperor!
Although Daqing has been established for over a hundred years, some rebels from the previous dynasty are still active.

If these people knew that their late emperor's tomb had been robbed by a tomb-robbing gang employed by the Duke of Lu, wouldn't they be furious and want to kill the Duke of Lu?
