Chapter 1928: The Emperor Suffers from Heart Disease
Seeing Lin Yuelan’s puzzled expression, the Emperor said in a bad mood, “You still don’t get it?”
Seeing that the Emperor was not really angry, Lin Yuelan spread out her hands and asked,” Then, what objections do you have? Just say it now!”
The Emperor wanted to say something, but Lin Yuelan stopped him and said very seriously,” I will say it in advance. It’s impossible for me to hand over these properties! I worked hard for these things. There’s no reason for me to hand them over for free!”
The Emperor rolled his eyes and said unhappily,” Who wants your property? Who asked you to hand it over for free? Wretched girl, what do you think I am? A bandit?”
Lin Yuelan nodded in satisfaction and asked,” Oh, then tell me.”
The Emperor said,” Girl, look at the flood south of the Huai River. Hundreds of thousands of people are in trouble, and the national treasury has sent out a million taels of silver to relieve the disaster. There’s not much silver left in the national treasury now. Look...”
It was Lin Yuelan’s turn to roll her eyes. She also said in a bad mood,” Oh, so you’re short of silver. However, if you want me to fork out money, I have no problem with it. How about donating three million taels?”
The Emperor smiled and said,” Alright!”
..
The news that the general and the princess of Guguo had safely left the palace and returned to the princess’s manor quickly spread through the streets and alleys of the capital.
After all, Princess Lin Yuelan was accused of lying to the emperor.
Such a crime was very difficult to wash away.
Moreover, those exposed properties were indeed in the hands of the princess.
The extermination of the Imperial Grandprince Manor was a living example.
As for those who had left Lin Yuelan’s wedding and waited quietly, the first thing they did after Lin Yuelan returned was to visit and give her their blessings.
However, to their disappointment, these visitors were all blocked outside. They could not see the princess of Guguo at all, let alone build a good relationship with her.
..
At this moment, Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan had arrived at the secret base.
The subordinates who were waiting were extremely excited when they heard that Lin Yuelan had come out.
“Greetings, Master!”
“Get up!” Lin Yuelan said in a clear voice. She looked around at her subordinates and smiled,” Sorry for making you worry!”
“Master, it’s good that you’re fine!” The others laughed happily.
Lin Yuelan nodded and said,” Yes, since all the businesses have been exposed, there’s no need to hide anymore. Everyone, do your best!”
“Yes, Master!”
After Lin Yuelan discussed her future plans with her subordinates, she left with Jiang Zhennan.
They were already married, so they no longer had so many scruples when they were together.
However...
Jiang Zhennan looked at Lin Yuelan worriedly and asked,” Yue ‘er, what’s wrong? Ever since you returned from the Imperial Palace, you’ve been a little unhappy.”
