"Royal Father, you can't!" Hearing this, Dongfang Li was the first to step out and stop him.

"Why not?" The Emperor, who was sitting upright on the dragon throne, looked down at Dong Fang Li and said.

"Father, the Mountain Splitting Jade Mountain Range is an important source for the country's treasury. Father cannot so carelessly hand over our lifeline to fourth brother."

Dongfang Li acted as if she was thinking for her country, but her eyes were filled with scheming.

"What royal father said is correct. If royal father gave away the Mountain Splitting Jade Vein to fourth brother, then the Southern Kingdom would lose a portion of its treasury and its national power would weaken."

Dongfang Xuan also seemed to beg the emperor to retract his orders.

"Big brother, third brother, why didn't you guys say these words when royal father just promised, who would be the first to bring Ah Zhu back unharmed?

"I wasn't here then, but now that I see you want to get the Mountain Splitting Jade Meridian, you all come out and say no, no, no, you all are too hypocritical, aren't you?"

Dongfang Ye looked at the two of them with a very cold gaze. He was not very interested in the opening of the mountain.

Pure Cloud Pavilion, Pure Cloud Pavilion, and Pure Jade Pavilion, they had only given him more money than the opening of the sect compared to the opening of the mountain. He might not necessarily want to obtain the opening of the sect, but their words made him uncomfortable.

"Father, please think twice, don't recklessly divide the opening of the mountain."

Hearing this, Dongfang Li could not find any reason to refute, and her eyes flashed as she spoke.

"What is the Mountain Opening Jade Pulse?" At this time, the silent Xia Sizhu spoke up.

"The opening of the mountain jade vein is a jade vein that produces jade. Whether it is the quality or the price, it is the highest quality jade.

Every year, the Jadestone unearthed by the Enlightenment Mountain would be sold to the four countries, and all the money obtained would be put into the national treasury.

"The Southern Kingdom has the richest treasury in all of the four countries. Every year, this jade meridian will be unearthed, and it will be equal to half a year's worth of the Southern Kingdom's tax revenue."

As soon as the Emperor heard Xia Sizhu speak, he told her in full detail about the matter of the opening of the mountain.

Throughout the entire process, the tone was very gentle and there was no impatience. Xia Sizhu did not feel it, but everyone else in His Highness had.

"So valuable!" If only this jade meridian belonged to me. After hearing this, Xia Sizhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and her mouth involuntarily revealed the thoughts within her heart.

Dong Fang Li Dong Xuan's expression instantly became ugly.

"If Sizhu likes it, then I will just return it to Sizhu's dowry." The emperor smiled when he heard this.

"Really?" Xia Sizhu's eyes immediately lit up. Jade veins! It's all money.

"Of course it's true." When the Emperor saw Xia Sizhu's blinking eyes, his mood improved.

"Father …" Dongfang Li wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the Emperor.

"There's no need for that. I've decided." The Emperor coldly looked at Dongfang Li and said.

Seeing that the Emperor was angry, Dong Fang Li had no choice but to give up. However, in her heart, she started to hate Dong Fang Ye.

Giving these jade veins to Xia Sizhu and to Dongfang Ye was the same. Even though Dongfang Xuan was unwilling, he didn't dare to anger the Emperor.

"Little girl Zhu, accompany This Dowager for a chat." Seeing that the matter was settled, the empress dowager pulled Xia Sizhu's hand and prepared to leave.

Xia Sizhu looked at everyone in the hall before following the empress dowager.

"Alright, you can all go back now!" The Emperor looked at his sons with different expressions.

He would also go with Her Majesty to speak with Sizhu and ask her what had happened to her in the past few days.

After the emperor left, Dongfang Ye turned around and also prepared to leave.

"Don't think that you can keep winning just because you won today. We'll see."

Dongfang Li walked past Dongfang Ye and said in a voice that only two people could hear. After that, she left.

Dongfang Ye looked at the place where Dongfang Li left and the corner of his mouth slightly widened into a smile. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

Xia Sizhu told the empress dowager and the emperor some of the things that had happened to her in the past few days.

It had already been two hours since Xia Sizhu had left the palace. Just as she arrived at the palace gates, she saw Dongfang Ye's gorgeous carriage, which represented his identity.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Xia Sizhu said in a low voice as she looked at Dongfang Ye who was walking towards her.

"Ah Zhu hasn't left yet, how can I?" Dongfang Ye said with a smile.

"I told Ling Feng to go back and bring the horse carriage over, and I'll take you home."

Dongfang Ye pulled Xia Sizhu's hand and said as they walked towards the carriage.

After Xia Sizhu boarded the carriage, Ling Feng slowly headed towards the Prime Minister's Estate.

Behind the carriage followed Gu Xin and Shaxin, who were riding a horse carriage.

"Master, the Third Miss is back." When Ling Feng had just stopped the carriage at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Estate, a servant had already entered to report to him.

"How did he know I was back?" Xia Sizhu was completely confused. She still hadn't come out of the carriage! Why did that servant think that she had returned?

"When you were chatting with the empress dowager, the emperor had already announced that we would be married in ten days, as well as that he would be preparing a dowry for you. Most likely, everyone in the southern mausoleum knows about it now."

With this announcement, everyone knew the emperor's attitude towards Xia Sizhu. The emperor had prepared a dowry for her, so one could imagine how good the emperor treated her.

The Emperor was helping Xia Sizhu clear the way, giving a warning to those who had ill intentions towards her or were dissatisfied with her.

"Alright, I'm going down." Since the Prime Minister had already arrived, Xia Sizhu couldn't stay in the carriage any longer. It had been a few days since she saw Aunt Liu and Ling'er. She missed them quite a bit.

"En, you can go now!" Dongfang Ye readily agreed. After a whole day's journey, Ah Zhu was probably tired as well.

He would let her go now. Anyway, he could come back and find Zhu at night.

When Xia Sizhu got off the carriage and entered the Prime Minister's estate, she saw Xia Wei, who was standing not too far away.

Seeing Xia Wei, Xia Sizhu's mood instantly turned sour. She hadn't forgotten that Xia Wei had slapped her with his palm.

Xia Sizhu completely ignored Xia Wei and was prepared to pass by him.

"Stop, I won't allow you to marry Night King." Seeing that Xia Sizhu didn't put him in her eyes at all, Xia Wei's heart was filled with rage.

"Ha!" I didn't hear wrong, right, Prime Minister! The Prime Minister actually doesn't allow me to marry the Night King?

Is the prime minister the empress dowager, or the emperor, or my father? What status do you have to stop me? "

Hearing Xia Wei's words, Xia Sizhu couldn't help but sneer. She spoke with such confidence. It was really a wonder who gave her such confidence.

"You!" Xia Sizhu's words reminded Xia Wei of the day that Xia Sizhu left.

Xia Wei, who was in a bad mood, wanted to hit Xia Sizhu.

His hand was intercepted in the middle of the air. Xia Wei stared blankly at the man who suddenly appeared.
